Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 75: Chapter 073 Maid

Chu Mo did not want to push himself into the limelight, as the secret of the unlimited bank card was his biggest trump card. Once he exposed himself to the daylight, this secret risked drawing attention from others.

Therefore, he could only be a behind-the-scenes manipulator and at the appropriate times push those around him forward to shield him from the storm. This was the most prudent method.

However, he truly started from scratch and was genuinely in need of that kind of person who could stand on their own two feet.

His younger cousin, Chu Xiner, was originally someone Chu Mo planned to cultivate with focus, but the girl was just starting her sophomore year in college. She would not be truly useful until at least after she had graduated two years later.

As for close friends and relatives...

Merely thinking about it, Chu Mo immediately shook his head in dismissal.

His gaze unintentionally rested on the maidservant beside him. At Emperor Xuan Villas, the maidservants were arranged in strict grades from level one to nine, with higher levels earning more generous salaries.

The highest-ranked within the villa was a level six maid, a beautiful master's graduate who had returned from studying abroad. With an annual salary of over seven hundred thousand, naturally, only such a high salary could retain top-level talent.

After interacting over this period, Chu Mo had gained a general understanding of the maidservants around him.

First, they had all undergone extremely strict training and maintained absolute respect for their master.

Moreover, due to the strict grading system, every maid wanted to advance further, as each promotion meant at least a doubling of salary. To be promoted, they needed the recognition of their master. Naturally, they provided more meticulous service and showed deferential attitudes.

This created a virtuous cycle. To earn a higher salary, they had to work even harder, which explained why Chu Mo found the villa's maidservants so responsible.

His eyes scanned over several maidservants beside him, and an idea gradually formed in Chu Mo's mind.

As he turned his gaze to Danny standing by his side, the latter immediately moved half a step forward and bowed slightly, respectfully coming to Chu Mo's side.

"Contact Emperor Xuan Property Management and have them send their highest-ranked maid to me."

"I will heed your command!"

Danny bowed slightly and then immediately turned to leave.

Watching his retreating figure striding away, Chu Mo couldn't help but nod slightly.

Truth be told, his butler was quite good.

Having never dealt with other butlers, Chu Mo had no basis for comparison, but solely based on his own feelings, butler Danny gave him a very comfortable and also very thoughtful impression.

Danny's attitude towards him was beyond reproach. He was even more respectful than the maidservants at home.

He executed any command with the utmost seriousness and often offered reasoning beyond the obvious, providing Chu Mo with more rational suggestions.

After the initial period of adjustment, Danny had managed to grasp some of Chu Mo's thoughts, making everything more convenient for Chu Mo.

Although they hadn't been working together for long, Chu Mo found Danny extremely handy. Out of a perfect score of ten, Chu Mo would give Danny a nine. The remaining one point was purely out of anticipation that Danny could perform even better.

The wait was neither particularly long nor short, around twenty minutes later, butler Danny's figure reappeared in the living room, followed by two women dressed in maid uniforms.

Danny subtly stepped aside, his demeanor respectful, and signaled to an intellectual-looking beauty wearing glasses as he introduced:

"Mr. Chu, these two are currently the highest-ranked maids at Emperor Xuan. Allow me to introduce them.

This is Qin Zixuan. Miss Qin is the youngest master's graduate from Harvard University, holding dual master's degrees. Miss Qin is twenty-seven this year, returned to China last year, and after eight months of training at Emperor Xuan, is now a level seven maid, with a monthly salary of one hundred and fifty thousand."

"Hello Mr. Chu, my name is Qin Zixuan, but you can call me Zi Xuan."

The lady with a graceful air who wore glasses gave a respectful bow and greeted him, and Chu Mo nodded lightly in response.

With dual master's degrees and a monthly salary of one hundred and fifty thousand, her annual earnings of one million eight hundred thousand placed her firmly amongst the high-income group.

Meanwhile, Danny gestured towards the long-haired woman on the other side and introduced her respectfully once again:

"Mr. Chu, this is Miss Lin Mengxi, and Miss Lin is the only Level 8 maid at Emperor Xuan Villas.

She is proficient in tea ceremony, Go, piano, calligraphy, and can fluently speak seven languages. Miss Lin's monthly salary is 300,000!"

The long-haired woman called Lin Mengxi didn't speak but nodded gently toward Chu Mo with determination.

Chu Mo also nodded back, his eyes carrying a hint of curiosity, and he asked Danny,

"There are no Level 9 maids in Emperor Xuan?"

Danny immediately nodded respectfully, then with a serious expression, replied,

"Mr. Chu, at Emperor Xuan, Level 9 maids are not assessed by the property management but require personal evaluation by their respective owners. Miss Lin is at Level 8, which is the highest level determined by the property management. Only with your approval, Mr. Chu, and after your personal evaluation, can Miss Lin be promoted to Level 9...

However, thus far, no villa owner here has ever promoted their maid to Level 9."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo, his eyes filled with curiosity, inquired,

"Are there any special requirements for promoting to Level 9 maid?"

"None at all, just your consent, Mr. Chu, and you can promote Miss Lin at any time," Danny paused briefly, bowed slightly, and said respectfully,

"The annual salary for a Level 9 maid is ten million."

A maid with an annual salary of ten million, no wonder even the tycoons living in Emperor Xuan are reluctant to elevate their maids to Level 9.

This is less a maid than an ancestor.

After glancing over the two women in front of him without immediately deciding whether to keep them both, the lightly rising Chu Mo suddenly said,

"It's lunchtime. If you don't mind, please join me for a meal."

He didn't wait for their response and headed straight for the dining room.

In the elegant and spacious dining room, the huge table was already filled with delicious food.

He took a seat at the head of the table naturally, with six maids standing in two rows beside him, and by that time, the butler Danny stood beside him as well.

The two maids named Qin Zixuan and Lin Mengxi also came to his side, but neither of them sat down, instead standing respectfully beside him.

Gesturing to the empty seats on his left and right, Chu Mo smiled and said,

"You are not my maids yet, so there is no need to be so formal for now, please take a seat."

As the words fell, the Level 8 maid called Lin Mengxi naturally took the seat to his left, while the Level 7 maid named Qin Zixuan bowed her head in deeper reverence and didn't move an inch.

With a meaningful look in his eyes, he observed the starkly different behaviors of the two maids before him, noting that Level 8 maid Lin Mengxi was obviously more adaptable.

Whereas Level 7 maid Qin Zixuan appeared more firmly committed to her role.

Without saying more, Chu Mo picked up the chopsticks. The quietly sitting Lin Mengxi to his left also elegantly started to eat with her bowl and chopsticks.

Qin Zixuan, standing beside him, naturally began to serve the dishes, gently attending to his needs.

Chu Mo watched with a thoughtful expression and said no more.

One of these maids would be the lucky one he chose. After an assessment, if everything went as expected, she would be put in charge of the forefront.

But at this moment, Chu Mo was still unsure whom to pick.

By the end of the meal, Chu Mo should have his answer.
