Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

Early the next morning.

Head butler James is here to report.

He preferred to stand on the steps in the cold wind and did not step into the hall without the owner's permission.

Of course, the main door on the first floor was closed, and you would have to wait until Shen Fei got up to enter.

He was wearing a clean black Zhongshan suit and bowed slightly to Shen Fei, who had just come out, with a respectful but not polite demeanor.

"My esteemed master, James has come to report for duty."

This was supposed to be their first meeting.

But when Shen Fei looked at the other man's slightly dark skin and his right foot, which was moving nervously on the ground, he felt that the old butler looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

He smiled slightly and complimented, "Your clothes are nice."

James's expression softened. "When your grandfather was alive, he also liked me to wear a Zhongshan suit. He said that in China, people wear Zhongshan suits on all major holidays."

Shen Fei glanced at the man discreetly and realized that he was an honest and kind old man of Mohege descent.

At least that's how it appears on the surface.

He began to understand why his grandfather had considered the other party as a candidate for head steward.

Other things can only be discovered through getting to know each other. A butler should be the closest person to him, and in addition to being considerate and attentive, loyalty is the most important factor.

Shen Fei decided to get straight to the point, "Uncle Smith bought me a batch of household items yesterday, and some of them are still in the living room on the first floor. Could you help me organize them?"

"Besides, this villa hasn't been lived in for a while. Clean it up and tidy it up. I remember you lived in this villa before, so you should know it better than I do. I'll leave it to you."

"If one person can't finish the work, we can hire some temporary workers in town, and I'll pay their wages."

"Oh right, I want to eat Chinese food for lunch, for two people. I remember you can cook."

James paused for a moment, then bowed again. "I've written it all down. As you wish."

After leading James inside, Shen Fei could no longer sleep in. He washed up for a while and was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor drinking tea, while secretly observing James's actions.

He proceeded calmly and methodically, tidying up the household items in the living room while making phone calls to contact domestic workers in town and discuss the job details and payment.

Just then, the roar of a pickup truck came from outside, and a moment later, a dark-skinned middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat strode in.

He glanced around the living room and his gaze quickly fell on Shen Fei. Without saying a word, he came over and gave him a bear hug.

"The old fish farm owner had told us before that he had a capable grandson in China, but we didn't expect him to be so young."

"Mr. Shen, from today onwards you are my new boss. All-rounder Pete is here to report for duty."

Shen Fei glanced at the other man. Unlike the composed James, Pete was a kind-faced, energetic middle-aged man, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a shirt and jeans, with a leather hat in his hand, giving him a hint of Western cowboy style.

Based solely on first impressions, Shen Fei would give Pete a 9 out of 10. However, considering Pete's after-tax monthly salary of 12,000 Canadian dollars, that score drops to a 6 out of 10.

Since he's a versatile talent, let's take him out for a spin first.

"Go check the warehouse first and see if there are any suitable small boats. I'll go to Pearl Lake with you in a bit to check the fencing. Also, you need to prepare a diving suit; we're going down to the bottom of the lake, about 20 meters deep. Is that possible?"

Pete frowned and thought for a moment. "If I had diving equipment and an oxygen tank, I could give it a try, but I'm not sure if I could get to the bottom."

"Then you go and get ready. I'll go to the lake with you after I finish breakfast."

"Okay, boss!"

Pete left full of energy.

After a while, Shen Fei ate a simple breakfast with hot milk and bread. An hour later, Pete came to report that it was time to go down to the lake.

The two arrived at the lakeside, where a small wooden boat was already moored. It looked somewhat familiar; it was one of the wooden boats that Smith had tied to the rocks when he took Shen Fei on a tour earlier.

However, this small boat has been exposed to wind and sun and is already old and worn out.

Shen Fei frowned with worry. Pete noticed Shen Fei's concern and explained from the side, "Don't be fooled by how old this wooden boat is. It can still go on the lake without any problems. There's another wooden boat over there that also belongs to Dasheng Fishing Ground. I'll be doing a maintenance and repair on both of them later."

"Don't worry, boss."

Shenfei decided to trust the opinions of professionals.

The two boarded a small boat with diving equipment and soon arrived above the collapsed cave at the bottom of the lake.

If Shen Fei hadn't secretly dipped his hand into the lake and used his senses to probe below, an ordinary person would never have been able to find this place without professional equipment.

"We're here. Go down and try to see if you can dive to the bottom of the lake."

Shen Fei suddenly stopped the small boat.

Pete was somewhat puzzled. They were quite a distance from the boundary of their fishing grounds, and there were no markers on the lake, only the shimmering water.

If the purpose is to check for damage to the barrier, this shouldn't be the place!

However, today was his first day at work, and it wasn't a good habit to question his new boss directly, so he could only keep his doubts to himself.

"Okay, boss, I'll give it a try!"

Pete stopped the boat where he was, then put on his diving suit and plunged into Pearl Lake with a splash.

Shen Fei remained by the side of the boat, put his hand into the lake water, closed his eyes, and used his consciousness to follow Pete's body as he slowly descended.

Pete dived very slowly, constantly poking his head out to look around. Once he had descended more than seven or eight meters, all he could see was darkness. Coupled with the silent underwater environment, it felt like he was in another world.

Some people with poor mental fortitude or claustrophobia will definitely go crazy.

A rope was tied behind him, and if anything went wrong, he would pull the rope desperately, and Shen Fei on the ship would pull him up.

With a diving suit and oxygen tank, everything seemed foolproof, but for some reason, Pete's heart was pounding. He suddenly realized that his new boss might not be able to dive.

If something happens to me down there, the other person will pull up the rope immediately, right?

Pete had absolutely no confidence.

Thinking about it this way, I felt even more panicked.

To make matters worse, the diving suit had been gathering dust in a warehouse for years when he found it, and the spotlight on it was long broken. So Pete was now in complete darkness, and judging from the water pressure data on the diving suit, he was probably at a depth of about 15 meters.
