The most exciting part of Chapter 118 wasn't the bonus distribution, but...

After getting settled, Li Xinfeng took out his phone and asked: "Housekeeper Cheng, how many masters are there in the house currently?"

Cheng Jiao led them toward the annex and said: "There is only one master, Miss Ling."

Li Xinfeng asked instinctively: "One? Are her parents and siblings not here?"

As a housekeeper, it was necessary to understand the household members.

As for Miss Ling's family situation, Cheng Jiao was not clear on it either; Miss Ling had never mentioned it.

Since she had never mentioned it, it wasn't important.

Cheng Jiao told them to watch their step: "All of us serve only one person, and that is Miss Ling. Everyone else, regardless of their status, is a guest, not a master. Do you understand?"

Although they didn't get information about other family members, one point was very clear: even if other family members were present, they were not within their scope of service.

In other words, they only needed to serve one person!

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha was bubbling with joy inside.

Serving one person vs. serving a group—of course, serving one person was much easier!

Her previous employer had a household of over twenty people, each with different preferences and various taboos.

Take diet for example; twenty-some people had six different flavor preferences, and arranging the meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day was a very complicated task.

The madam loved hosting tea parties, the master's friends often came over for business meetings or small gatherings, the old master had many underlying conditions that required daily observation and care, she had to attend the little miss's parent-teacher meetings, the eldest young master loved throwing parties and bringing people home every few days, and the eldest miss loved causing trouble and making a scene whenever she drank...

The most ridiculous part was that the original wife and several others all lived in one pile.

The huge estate was divided into several courtyards; the original wife lived in the main building, while the others lived in smaller courtyards, just like in the old feudal society.

Occasionally, when a fight broke out, just cleaning up the aftermath was enough to exhaust her half to death.

Having experienced the brutal beating of her previous job, this new job told her she only needed to serve one person, with no complicated personnel relationships.

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha was so ecstatic she nearly fainted.

How could she be so lucky!

Seeing signs of relief from both housekeepers, Cheng Jiao paused, turned around, and warned with a stern face: "Do not become passive or slack just because you only serve Miss Ling, and definitely do not harbor thoughts of deceiving or manipulating her just because she is easygoing. If I find out, not only will this good job go to someone else, but your careers in this industry will also be over."

Having spent this time with Ling Yue, Cheng Jiao had almost figured out her personality.

When she wasn't provoked, she was very kind to everyone. This was not only reflected in money but also in respect; whether it was employees or other strangers, she treated them equally and even possessed a gentle tolerance.

But if she was provoked, she would torment the other party until she was satisfied, making them pay the price they deserved.

"We wouldn't dare! If we damage the company's reputation, we'd have to pay through the nose," Li Xinfeng quickly stated.

The company they were currently in was almost the best in the industry, with a very strict management model and terrifying punishment for doing things wrong.

If they violated the contract terms, at best they would lose money, and at worst, they would end up in jail.

He had finally managed to meet the standards of a big company, been selected in a one-in-a-hundred interview, and doubled his salary.

Unless he hit his head and suddenly went stupid, he wouldn't do something as self-destructive as that.

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha also stated that she would not insult this profession.

She was looking forward to starting this job; just hearing about it, it sounded much easier than before.

"There are two rooms here, you can each choose one to stay in."

Cheng Jiao led them to the annex and gave them an employee handbook: "This contains Miss Ling's living habits, preferences, and important notes. Please memorize them as soon as you settle in."

"Understood, sorry for the trouble, Housekeeper Cheng," Li Xinfeng said warmly.

"Thank you, Housekeeper Cheng." Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha's personality was relatively more reserved.

Cheng Jiao waved her hand: "You two go ahead and unpack, I'll come back in a while."

After waiting and waiting, she had finally welcomed her new colleagues.

After settling them in, Cheng Jiao immediately handed over the extra work.

The next second, she looked visibly younger.

The 'AAAAA Five-Star Group' had new members, bringing the total to 22.

As a reward and a welcome.

Ling Yue sent 30 red envelopes worth 4,200 yuan in a row.

Cheng Jiao: Welcome new colleagues! Thank you for the red envelopes, Miss Ling!

Cheng Jiao: Heart-shooting.jpg

Look, now that she had free time, she was the first to respond to the group message and even posted an emoji, showing she was in a very good mood.

Luo Shanshan: Wahahaha, I'm benefiting from the new colleagues; I'll accept this wave of red envelopes first.

Luo Shanshan: Kneeling-in-gratitude-to-boss.jpg

Qu Shu: Today is another happy day~~~

Hu Liyun: My luck with money this year is really strong! 5 luckiest-draws in a row!

Hu Liyun: Happy happy! Boss LOVE YOU!

Guaner: Ahhh! Thank you, Boss!! Chu-mi chu-mi chu-mi~~~

Guaner: Flirting.jpg

Master Qin: No luck this time, didn't get a single luckiest-draw out of 30 red envelopes.

Qu Shu: Uncle Qin, you finally gave us a chance!

Qu Shu: Grateful~~~

Master Qin: Blushing.jpg

Cleaner Xiao Wang: Thank you for the red envelopes, Miss Ling! ღ ( ´ ･ ᴗ ･ ` )

Li Xinfeng: Thank you, Miss Ling, we will work hard!

Li Xinfeng: Charge.jpg

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha: Thank you, Miss Ling! Smile.jpg

Ling Yue lay on the bed, fingers tapping on the screen: Let's have a team-building event tonight.

This had almost become something Ling Yue loved to do every few days.

When a group of people ate together, the variety of dishes would be much richer; she could taste a little bit of everything and wouldn't have to worry about waste.

Liang Hanlin: What are we eating? What are we eating?

Ling Yue: No barbecue this time.

Liang Hanlin: A pity.

Zang Lanyi: Please, non-professionals, stop trying to steal the job.

Liang Hanlin: ??? Little Dam?

Zang Lanyi: Come on, let's spar.

Cheng Jiao: Don't come to dinner with a bruised face; it ruins the appetite.

Zang Lanyi: Then we won't fight.

Bodyguard Xiao Wen: Hahahaha!

Ling Yue: Let's eat hot pot; after all, there are so many of us, it's so convenient.

Luo Shanshan: Boss, actually it's just that you're craving it, right?

Ling Yue: Little-mouse-wearing-tie.jpg

Luo Shanshan: Received, going to buy groceries immediately!

Wang Junqi: I'll go with you.

Luo Shanshan: The child is finally sensible!

Wang Junqi: ...

Wang Junqi and Luo Shanshan thought the red envelopes should have ended there.

This fit Ling Yue's habit of sending red envelopes.

As a result, when the two of them were selecting ingredients at the supermarket, 20,000 yuan unexpectedly arrived in their Alipay accounts.

The transfer note read: You've worked hard recently, bonus.

Shopping paused!

Cart paused!

Wang Junqi replied to Ling Yue: Miss Ling, did you transfer it to the wrong person?

Ling Yue was concise: It's for you.

Wang Junqi replied to Ling Yue again: Thank you, Miss Ling, I didn't work hard!

He happily accepted the money; apart from the corners of his mouth turning up, there was no major emotional fluctuation.

Luo Shanshan first covered her mouth, then imagined things for a while before replying to Ling Yue: Ah? What hard work?

Ling Yue was equally concise: If I give it to you, just take it.

Luo Shanshan, through the screen, held her phone in front of her, bowed 45 degrees to it first, made a full gesture, and then replied: Thank you, Boss!!!!

: Finger-heart.jpg

: Love-you.jpg

: Mwah-mwah-mwah-mwah.jpg

: Happy-yay-yay-yay.jpg

There were quite a lot of people in the supermarket.

Luo Shanshan let her emotions out again.

Many people around looked over.

Wang Junqi gave a light cough, lowered his head slightly: "What are you doing? Can we go now?"

Luo Shanshan straightened her collar: "Just now the boss—no, Miss Ling—sent me a bonus. Oh no, I used 'Boss' in my reply just now, not 'Miss Ling'!"

She looked around nervously, realized she was in the supermarket, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness Housekeeper Cheng isn't here, otherwise I'd have to copy the employee handbook. Who would have thought, having graduated from college, I'd still have to copy books."

Before buying the ingredients, Cheng Jiao had gathered all the employees for a meeting to let everyone get to know each other.

She stated some new regulations, one of which was a hard requirement: unified forms of address.

"You got one too? The boss—I mean, Miss Ling—sent me a bonus too." Wang Junqi scratched his head in confusion: "Why?"

Luo Shanshan rubbed her chin and said wisely: "Maybe she discovered we've been working hard recently! A special reward."

Before Wang Junqi could reply, Luo Shanshan covered her mouth and giggled twice, then whispered like a thief: "You know, do you know what the most exciting thing isn't? It's not getting the bonus, but what is?"

She was so strange.

But Wang Junqi was also a bit curious: "What is it?"

"It's that this money came via transfer, so the bonus doesn't need to be taxed!"

Wang Junqi: "..." Who could say otherwise.

"The two of us need to keep quiet, don't tell anyone, okay~ Boss... pfft, Miss Ling transferring money separately must have her own intentions!" Luo Shanshan tugged at Wang Junqi's sleeve: "Swear it."

"You're the one who should swear." Wang Junqi said expressionlessly, pushing the cart away.

He didn't talk much; he wasn't as fond of chattering as Luo Shanshan.

As for why exactly.

Couldn't it just be that the WeChat transfer limit had been reached?
