Xi Shenlian's question was blunt.
The three sitting upright before him naturally understood that none of the great families would specially cultivate talent just to send them into society as a way of giving back.
They had been cultivated from childhood.
Because their loyalty was more reliable and they had undergone repeated screening,
even if they really made some kind of mistake!
those cultivated from childhood generally would not be expelled from the family outright. Instead, they would be transferred to relatively unimportant positions and continue to shine for the family.
And the three of them, professional maids who had received vast amounts of resources, were naturally even more so!
The resources required to raise them were so exorbitantly expensive that ordinary people could not possibly understand.
It would have been more than enough to support hundreds of university students!
After the family had paid such a price,
did you want to leave the family?
Leave it in your dreams?
The layers upon layers of contracts and agreements had completely locked away every possibility.
Therefore,
the three of them leaving the family was, without a doubt, an extraordinarily unreasonable situation!
It was only natural for people to become suspicious!
In the end,
as the eldest of the three sisters,
Ye Qisao answered:
"The matter actually isn't that complicated."
"We originally belonged to the local great family—the Sixteen Nights Family. We were maids cultivated by the family from childhood, specifically responsible for the daily life of one of the young ladies. We were her personal maids. However, some time ago, because of certain matters within the family, the young lady we served was forced to go abroad. As her personal maids, we were unable to follow her because of certain complications..."
"Under normal circumstances, the three of us would then have been assigned to relatively remote positions, or the family would have changed the master we were required to serve. But before the young lady left, she used certain means to help us escape the family's restrictions and regain our freedom..."
After hearing all this,
Xi Shenlian fell silent for two seconds before immediately sighing softly:
"Holy crap..."
"What kind of wealthy-family grudge is this..."
Those words clearly conveyed his meaning, making Ye Qisao and the others look slightly awkward.
However, they did not refute him.
Although the whole matter was not particularly complicated when they described it,
all the various things involved...
put plainly, it was an internal struggle within a wealthy family!
And it was a rather serious one.
In the entire incident, the young lady they had originally served was clearly one of the losers.
Even though she possessed a certain degree of inheritance rights, she could only be forced to go abroad.
She could not even take her three personal maids with her.
In fact,
to keep her personal maids from being implicated, she could only find a way to help them escape the family's restrictions.
Thus, the various details could only be described as not complicated to hear about.
But experiencing them was extraordinarily complicated...
After all,
the messes within wealthy and powerful families were completely beyond what normal people could sort out~
Even the members of those families themselves
often could not clearly explain the causes and processes behind their various messes.
They were far more bizarre than all kinds of murder cases!
Even if Sherlock Holmes were brought in to investigate, he could only shake his head on the spot.
After casually sighing,
Xi Shenlian looked at the three somewhat awkward women, then clasped his hands together and held them beneath his chin before continuing to ask:
"Then, for the second question, are the three of you confident that you can handle all kinds of affairs?"
Facing his question,
the one responsible for answering was still Ye Qisao.
"There naturally won't be any problems with ordinary affairs."
"Whether it's managing routine financial matters or handling more maid-like household affairs, there won't be any problems!"
"Even each of us can easily repel all kinds of ordinary attacks!"
But when she reached this point, she looked seriously at Xi Shenlian and said:
"But doing anything lewd is out of the question."
Beside her,
her two sisters, Ye Qishi and Ye Qili, even crossed their hands to form an X.
Among them,
Ye Qishi stated frankly:
"The reason the three of us continued working as maids after leaving the family was simply out of habit and to raise funds."
"If there's still no news from the young lady in a few years, we'll probably plan to start our own business..."
Those simple words
clearly revealed two meanings.
As personal maids, they truly had deep feelings for their young lady!
They were silently waiting for her triumphant return!
If she could make a triumphant return...
And their young lady clearly valued them greatly as well.
That was why she had tried to help them escape before being forced to leave!
Then,
the second meaning was that working for someone else truly had no future, and they had already mentally prepared themselves to start a business in the future...
Making wage workers weep~
Xi Shenlian naturally had no objections to their answer.
His reply was even exceedingly direct:
"Don't worry. I have no interest in forcing women."
Even,
to make himself more credible,
he did not forget to add:
"Mm... At least, I really don't have any interest in that right now."
After that,
he began somewhat uncontrollably wanting to say some outrageous nonsense:
"Besides, you need to understand that I'm currently a VIP customer of multiple nightclubs. They have every kind of service I could want... I have to say, their techniques really are excellent..."
After saying a few irrelevant things,
Xi Shenlian noticed that the gazes of the three sisters, as well as the staff from the agency beside them, had all changed somewhat. He chose to rein in his foul mouth once again.
"All right... Back to the matter at hand. I have no issues on my side."
"Then, do the three of you have any questions?"
"If not, you can just sign the contract."
The three sisters looked at Xi Shenlian, who had returned to his serious demeanor as if he had never said anything nonsensical. After exchanging glances, they replied:
"We have no issues on our side."
"As long as you have no objections to the salary we proposed."
In their view,
Xi Shenlian was somewhat unserious and blunt.
But at least,
he seemed like a decent person!
That was true both in terms of his appearance and his character.
Especially his frankness just now regarding matters unsuitable for children. It immediately put them much more at ease.
Setting everything else aside,
at least he was not some hypocrite.
Having been born into a great family, the three sisters knew all too well about many filthy things.
By comparison,
Xi Shenlian's small flaw was completely insignificant.
Seeing that things seemed to have been settled,
the agency employee beside them began making his presence felt.
He directly pulled a stack of not-too-thick documents from his briefcase:
"Excellent. Since both sides are satisfied with each other, let's sign the contract."
