Soft morning light shone into the bedroom of the Repulse Bay villa. When Zhang Zeyang opened his eyes, the sky outside the window was already bright. He got up, washed up, and changed into a comfortable light gray house dress.

Then I went to wake up my younger sister Zhang Lingyun, and after getting her ready, I took her downstairs.

On the dining table in the villa's restaurant, a delicate Chinese breakfast was laid out, with steaming hot xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and several refreshing and appetizing side dishes.

Zhang Lingyun, with her hair styled in cute pigtails and wearing a white princess dress, stared at the breakfast on the table with her bright, sparkling eyes. She immediately broke into a sweet smile and called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Let's eat!"

"Okay!" Zhang Zeyang smiled and reached out to rub his sister's hair. He sat down with Zhang Ling, picked up his chopsticks, and put a small steamed bun in her bowl on the small plate in front of her.

The brother and sister were eating breakfast when Zhang Lingyun's soft, sweet voice occasionally came through, and Zhang Zeyang answered patiently.

After breakfast, Zhang Zeyang took Zhang Lingyun's little hand and led her to the living room. There were Zhang Lingyun's favorite dolls in the living room. As soon as they entered, Zhang Lingyun let go of his hand and ran happily to get the dolls, her little face full of smiles. She would occasionally look up at Zhang Zeyang and softly call him "Brother." Zhang Zeyang sat on the sofa, looking at her tenderly with a faint smile on his lips.

Just then, light footsteps came from the living room doorway. The special forces squad leader in charge of the villa's security walked in with his upright posture, his face as serious as ever. He respectfully nodded to Zhang Zeyang: "Sir, the three gentlemen and ladies from the headhunting company have arrived."

Upon hearing this, the tenderness in Zhang Zeyang's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a composed demeanor. He nodded slightly: "Let them in."

"Yes." The squad leader responded and withdrew, then led the three men into the living room a moment later.

Leading the way was Li Fu, followed closely by Chen Mo, dressed in a sharp black suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Last was Su Qing, in a smart white business suit, her long hair tied in a low ponytail, with a beautiful face and bright eyes.

The three men entered the living room, their eyes quickly scanning the surroundings. When they saw Zhang Zeyang on the sofa, their expressions tightened, and they all stopped in their tracks, bowing respectfully yet tactfully to him: "Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

They had already witnessed Zhang Zeyang's aura during the interview yesterday. Seeing him again today, even though the young man was dressed in casual home clothes, his composure, which far exceeded that of his peers, still made them wary. Considering the salary and benefits that Manager Lin had mentioned yesterday, they felt even more awe.

Zhang Zeyang's gaze slowly swept over the three people, and he slightly raised his hand, saying in a calm tone, "Hello, please sit down."

As he spoke, he gestured for the three of them to sit on the sofa opposite him. The squad leader quickly stepped forward, made a cup of hot tea for each of them, gently placed it on the coffee table, and then quietly withdrew.

After thanking them, the three sat upright on the sofa, their backs straight. None of them casually looked around the living room or said anything unnecessary, demonstrating their professionalism.

Zhang Zeyang nodded inwardly as he observed the three men's performance.

Once the three were seated, Zhang Zeyang's gaze first fell on Li Fu. His tone softened somewhat, as he knew Li Fu was the one who would manage the household affairs and take care of him and his sister; there was no need to be too serious. "Uncle Fu, regarding your compensation, Manager Lin from Zhuorui Headhunting should have already explained it to you, right? Do you have any questions about salary and benefits?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fu bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang, Manager Lin has already explained everything to me in detail. The salary and benefits far exceed the standards of our peers in Hong Kong. I have no objections and am willing to serve you and Ms. Zhang wholeheartedly."

He had worked as a head butler in Hong Kong's top tycoons for ten years and had seen all sorts of important figures. Although Zhang Zeyang was young, he had an extraordinary demeanor, was generous, and was clearly someone who was destined for great things. Working for such an employer was far better than working for those conservative tycoons.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zeyang's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. He immediately stopped talking and gave the important instructions: "Since there are no problems, you can officially start your job now. Currently, besides the brothers in charge of security, there are only my sister and me in this villa. From now on, all the household chores will be handled by you."

He paused, then added specific requirements, speaking in a meticulous tone: "You are responsible for screening and arranging the staff, cooks, and gardeners. Make sure to find reliable, honest, discreet, and meticulous people with clean backgrounds."

You'll be responsible for grocery shopping, household chores, and garden maintenance. Oh, and my sister and I both prefer Chinese food, so the chef must be skilled in Chinese cuisine, have good cooking techniques, and know how to balance meals. You can handle the rest. If you need any money, just contact me.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, I will make all the arrangements." Upon hearing this, Li Fu immediately stood up and replied respectfully, without the slightest embarrassment on his face.

These tasks were already second nature to him, and he was more than capable of handling them.

"Okay, go and familiarize yourself with the layout of the villa, check out the situation of each room, and get the staff ready as soon as possible." Zhang Zeyang nodded slightly, indicating that he could go and get busy.

"Yes, sir." Li Fu bowed again, then turned and slowly left the living room.

After Li Fu left, only Zhang Zeyang, Chen Mo, and Su Qing remained in the living room, and the atmosphere instantly became quieter. Zhang Lingyun was still playing nearby, occasionally letting out a cheerful hum.

Zhang Zeyang's gaze shifted to Chen Mo and Su Qing, his expression gradually turning serious, and his aura growing colder. He leaned forward slightly, looking sharply at the two of them, and said solemnly, "As for the two of you, before arranging specific tasks, there's something I need to make clear to you first. This is my bottom line, and it's also the premise for you to stay and work."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo and Su Qing both felt a chill run down their spines, sat up straighter, and stared intently at Zhang Zeyang, not daring to lose focus for even a moment.

"If you decide to stay and work for me in the future, this job will most likely be for life."

"I can offer you salaries that are hard for others to match, give you enough room for development, and even help you rise to the top and become prominent figures in Hong Kong."

However, there is also a strict requirement: if you leave the company for any reason in the future, you must absolutely not mention anything about me, including my identity, my businesses, my family, and everything you encountered at work, to anyone, not even your closest relatives or friends.

At this point, his tone suddenly became more serious, his eyes sharp as knives, carrying a strong sense of intimidation: "These are hard and fast rules, and ironclad laws that you must abide by. If you can do them, you can stay and work with me."

If you can't do that, you can say so now. I won't force you; we can part amicably, and I'll find someone else.

These words were firm and left no room for negotiation. Chen Mo and Su Qing were both intelligent people and naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Zhang Zeyang's words. A lifetime tenure meant being bound to the company, and the confidentiality requirement after leaving the company indicated that what Zhang Zeyang was going to do in the future was by no means trivial, and if it were leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A brief silence fell over the living room. Chen Mo frowned slightly, quickly weighing the options in his mind. He knew that Zhang Zeyang was no ordinary person. Following such an employer, although there were risks, it also meant unlimited opportunities, far exceeding what he could gain as an ordinary senior lawyer at a law firm.

Su Qing was also pondering to herself. During the interview yesterday, she could tell that Zhang Zeyang had an extraordinary demeanor and was generous. Such an important person could gain his trust, and his future prospects were limitless.

A moment later, Chen Mo was the first to raise his head, looking at Zhang Zeyang with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhang, I can do it, and I am willing to stay and serve you."

Immediately afterward, Su Qing nodded, her expression solemn and her tone resolute: "Mr. Zhang, I can do it too. Please give me a chance."

Both of them made this decision after careful consideration; they both knew it was a high-stakes gamble.

Looking at the determined gazes of the two men, Zhang Zeyang's sharpness gradually faded, revealing a satisfied smile.

He stood up and extended his hand to the two of them: "Welcome to the team!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo and Su Qing were overjoyed and quickly stood up, each extending their hands to shake hands tightly with Zhang Zeyang.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhang!" the two said in unison, their tone full of respect.

"Sit down, let's talk about the specifics of the work ahead." Zhang Zeyang released his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down, his expression softening considerably.

With a housekeeper in place, lawyers and secretaries at his beck and call, family matters managed, and external affairs assisted, his era in Hong Kong was about to begin.
