The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

"You can just take your team directly to Longhu Manor. I will contact them to coordinate and tell you some things to pay attention to."

"Okay." Lu Zheng and the other two turned and left.

The three people waiting outside the door were surprised when they saw this scene.

The employer actually kept all three top security captains?

Before they arrived, all they knew was that the employer they were interviewing was a big spender who had bought the Longhu Manor for 1 billion yuan in cash.

According to industry practice and their expectations, the employer will most likely sign a housekeeping service team and a security team, which will be sufficient to support the maintenance of the entire estate.

After all, domestic services have also taken off in recent years, and even when there is a shortage of manpower for banquets, other teams can be directly dispatched from domestic service companies to help.

China is a society governed by the rule of law and has excellent public security. In the past ten years or so, there have been no cases of wealthy people being attacked.

Even billionaires with a net worth of billions usually only have one security team, and very few people would directly buy out three top-tier security teams.

They knew perfectly well that such top-tier security teams earned starting salaries of tens of millions of yuan annually. Adding their three housekeeping teams, the total annual employment cost for these four top-tier teams would reach as high as forty to fifty million yuan.

If calculated according to the common 30-year contract, the commission alone would amount to as much as 1.2 billion.

In addition, the daily procurement and facility maintenance of the 25-hectare Longhu Manor cost at least 40 to 50 million yuan per year, not including the personal expenses of the employer's family.

Yes, as head stewards, they are responsible for all the expenses of the estate, and sometimes even the personal expenses of the employers.

If you really want to calculate it carefully, the expenses of just one of the young masters and ladies at Longhu Manor might reach 100 million yuan.

Is this employer really that extravagant?

The three men's understanding of Qin Zheng was refreshed once again, and their eyes showed more awe and anticipation for this job.

"Come in." Lin Yufan led the three into the house.

Qin Zheng took a sip of tea, his gaze first sweeping over the three people before landing on the resume Lin Yufan handed over.

He remained calm as he turned the pages.

In less than a minute, three resumes were pushed to the corner of the table.

Shen Jianting noticed Qin Zheng's slightly furrowed brows.

What is this? You're not satisfied with any of the three?

I glanced at the resume out of the corner of my eye.

All three have experience managing small estates of 2 to 3 hectares, and the team's annual salary is around 15 million.

The resume is excellent.

Shen Jianting recalled that his own 8,000-square-meter villa only had a butler team costing eight million, a difference of a full double compared to the teams of the three people in front of him.

Moreover, these three are already the best housekeepers in the service company, yet they still can't catch Mr. Qin's eye?

Qin Zheng was indeed dissatisfied. The highest-ranking person had only managed a small estate of 3 hectares, which was not only unworthy of the scale of Longhu Manor, but also unworthy of his status.

"Is Mr. Qin not very satisfied with them?" Shen Jianting asked tentatively.

"Hmm," Qin Zheng replied with only one word.

Shen Jianting smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Qin, these are indeed the three best butlers the service company can provide."

He went on to explain that "the head stewards of large estates are all on lifetime contracts, trained and passed down within the family, and are not available on the market."

"In addition, these types of estate butler service companies can't train them either. The three they found were only available on the market because their former employers went bankrupt. Otherwise, the team the company sent you would be about the same as the team that my family hired for my villa, which cost eight million a year."

I see?

Qin Zheng nodded thoughtfully, indicating that the problem wasn't with the service company.

This was the first time he had heard that even the butlers of so-called top-tier wealthy families were passed down through generations.

Qin Zheng felt uneasy, as he always felt something was missing. These three were excellent, but they didn't meet his requirements.

When it comes to items, buying the most expensive is fine, but when it comes to choosing people, you definitely want the best.

These three people in front of me are ultimately unworthy of the position of Qin family's head steward.

The atmosphere in the VIP room grew increasingly somber. No one spoke; they all stared at Qin Zheng, waiting for him to make his choice.

The three candidates for head butler remained expressionless, showing no emotion, and wore faint smiles.

"Mr. Qin," seeing that Qin Zheng remained silent, Shen Jianting suddenly remembered someone, "I do know a suitable candidate, but he is looking for a two-way selection."

"A two-way selection?" Qin Zheng looked at Shen Jianting with interest. "Tell me about it."

"Lu Cheng'an, the former head steward of the Lu family in Beijing. After the Lu family moved abroad, he stayed behind. Many wealthy people tried to sign him, but he was politely declined by all of them."

As Shen Jianting spoke, he glanced at Qin Zheng again.

As far as he knew, Lu Cheng'an had declined invitations from more than one family with assets worth tens of billions.

I wonder if Mr. Qin's background is enough to persuade the other party.

The former head butler of the Lu family? He turned down numerous wealthy suitors? Qin Zheng's interest was piqued. "Is there anything special about him?"

He knew that someone who could politely decline a family worth billions couldn't do it on their own; it could only mean that Lu Cheng'an had other outstanding qualities.

"When the Lu family was still in Beijing, Lu Cheng'an helped manage most of their businesses."

Shen Jianting didn't expect Qin Zheng to have figured out the key point so quickly.

It's important to know that the head stewards of top families also manage the family businesses, and their skills extend far beyond that of a steward.

The four major families in the capital city each have assets of around 100 billion, and their wealth is extraordinary.

Lu Cheng'an, who has managed most of the family's businesses worth hundreds of billions, is undoubtedly a highly sought-after individual.

Despite Shen Jianting's current net worth of 6 billion, it would be incredibly difficult for him to increase it by another 1 billion.

For those families with assets in the billions, signing Lu Cheng'an is equivalent to gaining access to some of his connections, which is tantamount to raising their own net worth and that of their family.

Qin Zheng suddenly realized.

Those powerful families who wanted to sign Lu Cheng'an were mostly after his connections.

But he doesn't need Lu Cheng'an's connections, because his Qin family is his biggest connection.

What he wanted was someone worthy of the future Qin family's legacy, not some nobody from some backwater.

Lu Cheng'an was able to refuse the invitation from a family with billions in assets, which means he is qualified to be the head butler of the Qin family.

"Please get in touch with him for me; I want to talk to him."

"Okay, Mr. Qin, please wait a moment." Shen Jianting dialed Lu Chengan's number.

"Mr. Lu, hello, sorry to bother you. I have an employer who isn't entirely satisfied with the head steward recommended by the service company and would like to speak with you. Is now a convenient time for you?"

"Yes, the employer of Longhu Manor, paid in full, paid by black gold card, surnamed Qin."

"Okay, then I'll video call you so you can talk face-to-face."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jianting gestured for Lin Yufan to get the notebook.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Lu has agreed to meet with you online."

"Hmm." Qin Zheng glanced at the three candidates who were still standing. He figured they wouldn't be needed anymore.

"Mr. Qin, it's like this, Mr. Lu is an individual. Even if you can sign him, you'll still need to sign at least one team to manage him."

Noticing Qin Zheng's actions, Shen Jianting reminded them again. He looked at the three candidates and said, "Mr. Qin means that you all know that the position of chief steward is unlikely to be filled. Only the position of deputy chief steward is left. Anyone who is unwilling can leave now."

The three remained standing still, showing no sign of moving.

Longhu Manor covers an area of ​​25 hectares. Although both positions are for deputy general managers, times have changed. The latter is about 10 times the size of the former, and the two are not comparable. They would not give up such an opportunity.

They had also been fortunate enough to receive guidance from Lu Cheng'an, and it was only then that they realized there were always people more capable than themselves.

More importantly, they are almost twenty years younger than Lu Cheng'an, which means that under Lu Cheng'an's tutelage, they still have the opportunity to take the position of chief steward again.

In short, being selected and entering the Qin family is what they strongly desire at this moment.

The video call connected, and on the screen was a man in his fifties, with a handsome face and a refined and easygoing demeanor.

"Hello Mr. Qin, I am Lu Cheng'an. Let me get straight to the point: what are your main reasons for inviting me?"

"The Qin family is short of a butler, and you are the only one on the market who is barely qualified." Qin Zheng said calmly, not finding anything wrong with his words.

Shen Jianting felt a chill run down his spine. Was this Mr. Qin really that confident?

"Mr. Qin seems very confident," Lu Cheng'an chuckled on the other end of the video call, "but I feel that we're not a good match."

He prepared to excuse himself and end the call.

"What's your annual salary at the Lu family? I'll give you double that." Qin Zheng didn't give him a chance to hang up.

"Mr. Qin, you must be joking. At the price you quoted me, you could hire seven or eight top-tier teams. Why bother hiring me?"

Qin Zheng shook his head, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "The Qin family's butler is only judged by his competence; some things cannot be measured by money."

"Come over and sign the contract. I'll advance you 30 years' worth of double salary. If you think that's not enough, I can settle your salary up to when you're 80 in one lump sum."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianting stared in disbelief at the composed and calm Qin Zheng.

Many people want to sign Lu Cheng'an because of his connections, so anyone who wants to hire Lu Cheng'an is extremely polite.

Qin Zheng, on the other hand, immediately said, "Only you are barely worthy of it," without any politeness whatsoever.

Seeing that Lu Cheng'an was about to hang up, he directly asked to sign a contract with double the annual salary, and even offered to pay an advance until he was eighty years old.

What shocked Shen Jianting the most was Qin Zheng's casual remark, "Some things can't be measured by money," and his arrogant attitude.

The family behind him wouldn't say something like that if they didn't have enough resources and influence.

Many people hire Lu Cheng'an simply to assess his personal worth and family fortune. But Mr. Qin only thought about one thing: whether this person was worthy of his Qin family. He didn't even consider the hidden resources Lu Cheng'an could bring him.

Compared to Qin Zheng, his vision is like a star compared to the moon in terms of brilliance.

What kind of family is the Qin family? How can they be so arrogant and domineering?

Not only Shen Jianting, but also the Qin family, Lin Yufan, and Li Ruoxi were all so incredulous that they were speechless.

Despite the three candidates having received the most professional training, what is happening now is far beyond what was expected.

Their expectations were completely shattered, and they could no longer maintain their composure, finally revealing a hint of tension.

Just how much is this employer worth? Will they even be selected today?

Lu Cheng'an's face froze on the other end of the video call as he analyzed and considered Qin Zheng's words.

To be honest, he was tempted.

He himself came from a top-tier wealthy family. After the Lu family moved, he met many so-called "rich people," but they gave Lu Cheng'an the feeling that they were far from being true wealthy families.

He had always wanted to find a wealthy family similar to the Lu family, but the problem was that there was no place for him in any of the major families in Beijing.

He could only turn his attention to the rest of the country.

He's not unwilling to compromise on backward compatibility.

The reality is that no one who comes looking for someone can cross his bottom line of tolerance.

But the Mr. Qin in the video, with his calm demeanor, domineering tone, and the ideas and demeanor reflected in his words, was no less impressive than that of his former employer.

He could glean many things from Qin Zheng's words—things that other wealthy families lacked, and things he had been searching for.

He had never heard of the Qin family before. Could they be a reclusive family?

"Mr. Qin, are you at the Nine Heavens Dragon Court?" Lu Cheng'an saw Shen Jianting standing to the side.

Seeing Qin Zheng nod, he added, "I'd like to meet you in person. I happen to be nearby; it's about a twenty-minute walk."

"Okay." Qin Zheng raised his teacup and took a sip.

I finally felt relieved.

No matter how capable you are or how high your standards are, he will simply throw money at you.

There's no one he can't win over; if there is, it's simply because the price offered wasn't high enough.

Commonly known as, you have to pay extra!

Inside the VIP room, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Mr. Qin is about to win over Lu Cheng'an, the head butler trained by a top-tier family.

Twenty minutes is a very short time; it passed in the time it took Qin Zheng to drink a couple of sips of tea.

Lu Cheng'an arrived, glanced at the Qin family members, and then met Qin Zheng's eyes.

"Mr. Qin, I have brought the lifetime contract. As for the promises you made earlier, please fulfill one of them."

"Simple." Qin Zheng took out his phone. "Tell me your previous annual salary, your current age, and your bank account number."

"Forty million, 51 years old, 622848..."

"Okay." Qin Zheng closed his phone.

Lu Cheng'an took out his phone and was shocked to see a transfer message for 24 billion yuan.

His pupils dilated slightly; Mr. Qin had indeed paid him a lump sum payment until he was eighty years old.

Lu Cheng'an no longer hesitated, signed the lifetime contract, and handed it to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng signed his name next to him and pushed it to Lu Cheng'an, "Take them back to Longhu Manor. Also, take a look at these three. If you don't think they're suitable, go find someone else outside."

Lu Cheng'an was shocked. He hadn't expected Qin Zheng to trust him to such an extent that he would even let him decide on the selection of the deputy chief steward.

They've only met once.

"Yes, sir." Lu Cheng'an did not stand on ceremony. He stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then picked up the resumes of the three men.

Lu Cheng'an seemed like a completely different person at this moment, exuding aristocratic elegance in every gesture, which made others turn their heads.

"Sir, these three are all quite good. Do you intend to groom them for higher positions?"

Qin Zheng waved his hand, "This is your responsibility. If you think it's suitable, train them; if not, replace them."

"Understood, but their team needs to be reduced in size, as there is too much overlap in the types of servants." Lu Cheng'an took out a pen and wrote down the required number of people for each employee category, finally setting the number at ninety.

"Mr. Qin, please take a look. This number of people is a little too many for a 25-hectare estate. However, for the daily maintenance of the estate and hosting private banquets, we don't need to hire people from the housekeeping company." Lu Cheng'an asked Qin Zheng for instructions.

Qin Zheng glanced at it and nodded.

He wasn't sure if the number of people was appropriate, but he figured he could just add more if there weren't enough.

Seeing that Qin Zheng was satisfied, Lu Cheng'an looked at the standing candidates and said, "If there are no problems, please sign."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Lu Cheng'an was satisfied, but their excitement was almost uncontrollable.

They finally entered a top-tier wealthy family.
