Chapter 181 Back from My Trip, I Became the Miss's Bodyguard

They landed in Hong Kong City at three in the morning.

After resting for nine hours, they took a chartered flight at one in the afternoon the next day to return to Hangzhou.

Li Xinfeng was at the arrival gate to pick them up, and he had also arranged for two large trucks to transport the luggage out of the airport.

The makeup team and the twenty newly hired bodyguards bid farewell to Ling Yue at the airport and left first.

Ling Yue led the remaining members back to the Bamboo Forest Residence in a grand procession.

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha had prepared everything and led all the staff to the main gate to welcome their master's return.

Then she saw Shen Qingxue walking ahead with a numb expression and great effort, while her own Young Lady was tugging at Shen Qingxue's hem with massive dark circles under her eyes, and Song Xinyao was holding the Young Lady's arm, her head resting on her shoulder as if she were already asleep.

Did these three... go out to steal cows in the middle of the night?

Just as Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha was about to say something, Cheng Jiao stepped forward and pulled her back. "The Young Lady is going to her room to sleep. I'll handle the handover with you next. Everyone, please try to be as quiet as possible."

"What happened?" Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha asked curiously.

A helpless smile appeared on Cheng Jiao's face. "It was too boring on the plane, so they started playing mahjong. They fought for thirteen hours until the plane landed in Hong Kong City, but they ended up even more excited. As soon as it was dawn, they ran off to have morning tea, and that's how they ended up like this."

"This... is it really okay? Do we need to have a doctor come and give the Young Lady a physical exam?"

Since Ling Yue fell ill, she had never stayed up like this.

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha was worried that her body wouldn't be able to adapt all at once.

Hearing this, Cheng Jiao couldn't help but yawn and said, "I'll ask her when the Young Lady wakes up."

Seeing the dark circles under her colleague's eyes as well, Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha realized how exhausting this trip must have been. "Then let's hurry with the handover, and then you can go rest."

Cheng Jiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned to the staff who had accompanied them on the trip. "The Young Lady said that everyone should organize their belongings today, and then starting tomorrow, you'll have four days off. Those who want to go home can go home, and those who want to go out and play can go out and play.

Now, all of you go back to your rooms and put away your luggage first. Gather in the living room in ten minutes."

Zang Lanyi raised her hand and asked, "Do I get time off too?"

Cheng Jiao said, "You and Liang Hanlin will take turns resting."

Speaking of which, Luo Shanshan also raised her hand. "Then will Wang Junqi and I also take turns resting?"

Cheng Jiao shook her head. "The Young Lady said her health has fully recovered now and she wants to eat some 'junk food' lately, so you can all go home and rest together."

Wang Junqi: "..."

Luo Shanshan: "..."

Liang Hanlin's bodyguard team didn't need to pack luggage; they helped move the cardboard boxes into the living room.

The living room couldn't hold them all, so the remaining boxes could only be temporarily placed outside in the courtyard.

Cheng Jiao had the inventory list; she was the one who made the records initially and knew best what was there. Now that they were being put into storage, she was also the one doing the registration to ensure all items were brought back.

With this, the mission for Cheng Jiao and the traveling staff was complete.

Next, the task of organizing the items, taking photos, and uploading them to the spreadsheet was handed over to Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha.

Before this, Cheng Jiao gathered all the staff who had stayed behind in the small living room.

First, Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha called out the new Life Assistant sent by the housekeeping company and introduced her to Cheng Jiao.

"When the housekeeping company sent her over, they had her pass on a message saying that Zhao Fang's case has been sentenced. It's probably under three years. Should we report this to the Young Lady?" Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha was undecided and pulled Cheng Jiao aside to ask.

Cheng Jiao refused without even thinking. "Don't bother the Young Lady with such a small matter.

As for Zhao Fang's matter, wait until everyone is back from their holiday, then hold a meeting to inform them. Let everyone know that violating principles will lead to punishment, to avoid similar things happening in the future."

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha nodded solemnly, her gaze falling on a large cardboard box not far away. "Sister Cheng, what's in this box? Why wasn't it registered for storage just now?"

Cheng Jiao's smile reached her eyes. "These are gifts the Young Lady brought back from abroad for the staff who stayed behind."

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha understood instantly. "No wonder you told me to tell everyone that they must come to work today."

The box was open, and she lifted a corner to look inside. She was instantly dumbfounded. "Hermes?"

Cheng Jiao raised an eyebrow and motioned for Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha to help her move the gift boxes out and arrange them on the table.

The staff who were whispering among themselves stopped talking after seeing the eye-catching orange gift boxes and stared straight at the table.

Except for Master Qin, who had a look of understanding, the others were mostly curious.

Everyone was thinking, wasn't the Young Lady's stuff all organized? Why are there more here?

Unexpectedly, the next second Housekeeper Cheng said, "These gift boxes are gifts the Young Lady brought back from abroad for everyone. The products are random, and the prices are roughly the same. Don't open them to choose; everyone just take one at random."

The staff who had stayed behind were collectively stunned.

"Are they... for us?" The Cleaner's face was full of astonishment.

"This is Hermes, right!" The Gardener rubbed his nose, not daring to step forward.

Rather than believing these were Hermes products, everyone was more willing to believe they just happened to use boxes of the same color.

But Master Qin had seen many grand scenes, and at this moment, his state of mind was as steady as an old dog's.

Cheng Jiao answered their doubts: "We work for the Young Lady. If we do well, there are rewards. If we don't, either we leave, or Zhao Fang is the example.

Don't feel embarrassed. The Young Lady is willing to give them, which means she recognizes everyone's work ability.

So next, everyone must continue to work hard, restrain yourselves, and standardize your behavior to strive to stay in this household. The Young Lady will not treat everyone poorly, and in return, I hope everyone will not betray the Young Lady's trust."

Cheng Jiao looked around and, seeing that everyone had taken it to heart, clapped her hands to bring their thoughts back. "It's almost time to get off work. Those who have collected their gifts and are supposed to finish work should do so, and those who should go home should go home. Don't waste any more time."

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha was the first to step forward, silently chanting in her heart: Little rooster, point to the one who will come home with me.

Great, she stepped forward and took a gift box on the right side.

Master Qin was the second to step forward, casually taking a gift box from the middle.

Seeing this, the others stepped forward one after another.

In the end, one was left on the table.

"Did someone not take one?" Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha murmured.

She looked up at the jubilant crowd and, seeing the new Life Assistant standing there awkwardly, said to her, "This gift box is yours. Don't you want it?"

The Life Assistant: "Me?"

The next second she reacted, "I get one too?"

She was in disbelief. "But I just arrived." And she had only just seen the Young Lady for the first time; the Young Lady didn't even know her yet.

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha nodded and said seriously, "All employees get one. Come and take it."

The Life Assistant's mouth hung slightly open, her mind in a daze, but her body very honestly stepped forward and took the gift box.

It's Hermes!

Who wouldn't want it?

After collecting the gifts, the group disbanded, and everyone returned to the side building.

It wasn't appropriate to open the gifts directly over at the main building.

Now that they were back in the side building, as soon as they reached the living room, they couldn't wait to open the boxes.

"Oh my god!" one of the Cleaners cried out in surprise. "A Jypsiere Mini Shoulder Bag!! And it's pink! Wahhh! It's so pretty!"

She picked up the bag and found a receipt tucked underneath; Cheng Jiao had specifically asked the SA to pack it this way for easier management.

Just as this cry of surprise faded, another one rang out: "My god, a black gold Constance Bag!! Isn't this a hot item? And it was given to me just like that?"

"Mine is a Picotin! It's so small and exquisite, I love it! Wow, the matching watch is also so beautiful, it's brown, the same color as the bag, they're a set~"

Someone held their bag and took three deep breaths, looking intoxicated. "It's actually a white mini Lindy. I really wanted to buy it but couldn't afford it! And then my boss just gave it to me?

Man, who would believe it? My first luxury bag was actually a gift from my boss!"

"On how I woke up and became the Young Lady's die-hard follower."

Whose boss directly rewards employees with Hermes—mine!

Each gift box came with one bag as standard, paired with items from different series like wallets, necklaces, bracelets, or silk scarves.

If they encountered a product they didn't like, they could completely take the receipt and list it on Xianyu; it was a solid source of income, which was essentially a disguised way of giving out money.

Silently, everyone made up their minds.

As long as the boss doesn't go bankrupt, they'll work their positions until they die; as long as the boss calls, they'll respond actively even if they have to wear adult diapers; as long as the boss needs it, they can even make their positions 'hereditary'."
