6: The daily life of the prince of Jiangzhou
Qingteng Mountain Villa covers an area of about 100,000 square meters; it was a birthday gift given to Jiang Che by his mother, Qin Mengxuan, for his eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony.
The villa is located in the suburbs of Linjiang City, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, quiet and pleasant, with a tranquil environment, featuring various detached villas, swimming pools, gardens, and woods.
In the back mountain area, there are also shooting ranges and Cultivate grounds, horse racing tracks, golf courses, and so on; one could say it has everything one could ever need.
When choosing the location, Qin Mengxuan spent a staggering ten billion to build Qingteng Mountain Villa; it is no exaggeration to say it is the most expensive, best-designed, and most luxurious villa in all of Linjiang City.
Spending ten billion just to build a villa—even people from the six great Family clans would never dare to play like this; after all, it is truly somewhat outrageous and a bit too extravagant.
But Qin Mengxuan, as a business queen who controls the Xingqiong Group with a market value of tens of trillions, naturally does not care much about these ten billion.
After all, the pocket money she gives to Jiang Che and Jiang Wantang every month is one billion.
Ten billion is nothing more than the pocket money for the two siblings for one year.
In her own words, "I built the company so big, isn't it just so my children can enjoy themselves?"
Why keep the money if you don't spend it?
As the premier financial conglomerate in the entire Jiangzhou Province, Xingqiong Group is also ranked in the top three throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Its subsidiaries cover all aspects, including real estate, education, entertainment and film, electronics, technology, new energy, hotel chains, hospitals, games, and so on.
It can be said that the citizens of Linjiang cannot live without Xingqiong Group from birth to death.
Xingqiong Group single-handedly accounts for 70% of Linjiang City's GDP.
After starting university, Jiang Che moved out of the Jiang Family and came to live in Qingteng Mountain Villa long-term.
Besides Jiang Che, there are also over a hundred maids living here, responsible for taking care of Jiang Che's daily life.
As for bodyguards like Lin Qiang and the villa's security staff, they live in the villa complex on the outskirts of the estate, responsible for security work.
...
"Young Master..."
"Greetings, Young Master..."
Walking along the way, maids passing by kept greeting Jiang Che, enthusiastic and passionate.
Some bold Little Loli maids even deliberately bowed and bent over, letting Jiang Che see the beautiful scenery, and kept casting flirtatious glances at him.
These maids are all existences with outstanding beauty; placed in the outside world, they would at least be goddesses in the eyes of ordinary people, having been carefully selected and screened layer by layer before being sent here.
The monthly salary starts at 100,000, with thirteen insurances and eight funds, a year-end bonus of 500,000, and room and board provided.
Their daily work is just watering flowers, feeding fish, and cleaning, which can be described as extremely leisurely.
If they were accidentally favored by Jiang Che, they could completely leap across classes in an instant and fly up to the branches to become a Phoenix.
Therefore, the number of people coming to apply for the position of maid at Qingteng Mountain Villa every year is countless.
Entering the villa, Jiang Che had the maids arrange Xiao Yi's room next to his own.
After dinner was ready, Jiang Che brought Xiao Yi directly to the dining table to start eating.
"Why aren't you eating?"
"Is the food not to your liking?"
Seeing Xiao Yi just standing quietly in front of him without any movement, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
Logically speaking, someone like Xiao Yi shouldn't be a picky eater.
After all, as a killer like her, it is common to sleep in the open while executing missions; being able to have a full meal is already not bad.
Xiao Yi shook her head gently, her purple pupils flashing with faint ripples, and she glanced at the few maids standing nearby.
"You are different from them..."
"You are my personal bodyguard, so you naturally have the qualification to eat with me..."
"I am ordering you to eat now."
Jiang Che understood the meaning expressed in Xiao Yi's eyes and ordered directly.
Although Xiao Yi is nominally just his subordinate and personal bodyguard, Jiang Che didn't just view her as a bodyguard.
Xiao Yi's beauty is so outstanding, and she is loyal to him; naturally, he has some little thoughts in his heart, wanting to eat this delicious Little Loli.
However, Xiao Yi had only just arrived at Qingteng Mountain Villa today.
There is plenty of time, so he is not in a hurry.
Although the System Awakening has only been for a short day, Jiang Che's mindset at this moment has undergone a tremendous transformation.
In the past, his goal was politics, to climb step by step to the top like his elders.
Now, he only wants to quietly be the Crown Prince of Jiangzhou, live life wantonly, suppress the Son of Destiny, conquer all kinds of stunning heroines, and enjoy a beautiful life.
Hearing Jiang Che speak, Xiao Yi did not hesitate at all.
She sat down instantly, then picked up chopsticks and kept stuffing rice into her mouth.
Her cheeks were puffed out, like a cute little hamster.
Xiao Yi is Western, so she rarely used chopsticks before, mostly using knives and forks when eating.
Therefore, her movements were slightly clumsy, and the corners of her mouth were stained with quite a few rice grains.
"Don't just eat rice; eat the dishes..."
Seeing Xiao Yi like this, Jiang Che couldn't help but laugh and gave a signal to the maid nearby.
The maid instantly understood, picked up a tissue, wiped the rice grains from the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth, and the look she directed at Xiao Yi was full of undisguised envy.
These maids all have their own staff meals and have never eaten at the same table as the Young Master.
Seeing this purple-clad Little Loli able to sit and eat with the Young Master just after arriving, even with her toes, she knew the relationship between these two must not be simple.
Xiao Yi followed suit upon hearing this, and started picking up dishes and eating again, her movements meticulous and expressionless, as if executing some kind of mission.
Seeing this, Jiang Che shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Yi's cold personality clearly cannot be easily changed overnight, and Jiang Che did not expect too much.
...
After eating, Jiang Che went straight back to his room.
After washing up, he lay comfortably on the ten-meter bed playing with his phone.
After chatting with Liu Mengxi for a while, Jiang Che soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
After washing up and getting dressed, Jiang Che pushed open the door.
Just as he was about to go downstairs to eat, he saw the purple silhouette standing at the door; it was none other than Xiao Yi.
"You didn't sleep all night and kept guard here?"
Noticing the very obvious dark circles under Xiao Yi's eyes, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise.
Xiao Yi nodded silently, still expressionless.
She had long regarded Jiang Che as her master in her heart, so naturally, she had to protect his safety well.
Therefore, even though she knew that no accidents would happen in this Qingteng Mountain Villa, Xiao Yi still silently guarded outside Jiang Che's room for the whole night.
"You..."
Jiang Che shook his head with a smile, feeling a little touched inside, and reached out to touch Xiao Yi's head.
Xiao Yi's body stiffened slightly, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on her face, but she did not refuse Jiang Che's action.
Like a docile little kitten, her little head kept rubbing against Jiang Che's palm.
However, it was clear that Xiao Yi had no experience in flirting with people, and the movements looked slightly comical.
"Alright, come downstairs with me to eat now, and then go get some good sleep..."
"I'm going out in a while; you don't need to follow today..."
Jiang Che retracted his palm and smiled faintly.
Xiao Yi shook her head gently, reached out her little hand to tug at the corner of Jiang Che's clothes, and the meaning was obvious.
"This is an order."
"Besides, I'm just going home, and there won't be any danger."
Jiang Che naturally knew what Xiao Yi was worried about and explained patiently.
