Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Only Their Young Miss Could Do Something So Outrageous

After Zero One and the others got out of the car, one of them drove it to the underground garage while the rest went to help the delivery team carry Yun Zijin’s auction winnings into the villa.

Wang Minli came to the front and opened the door. "Miss, you’re back! And Mr. Lu is here too! Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

"No, thank you. It’s too late today. Perhaps next time."

Lu Yunque wanted to stay, but it was indeed too late and wouldn’t be appropriate.

It wasn’t until Yun Zijin had entered the courtyard that Wang Minli noticed Zero One leading a group of people carrying things into the villa.

"Oh! What is all this?"

"They’re from today’s auction. There are a few rather beautiful decorative pieces. Aunt Wang, you can take a look later and see where they would fit best."

Yun Zijin hadn’t been joking when she said she would win those items to use as decorations.

"Decorations? We have quite a lot of decorations in the house already. Is Miss planning to replace them?"

Considering Yun Zijin’s spending habits—going out and dropping several million almost every day—the number of decorations in the house was truly beyond count.

"You can decide what to do. They’re just for display anyway. It’s fine to swap them out every once in a while. If there’s no room, just put them in the storeroom."

In truth, how could there not be enough space? The villa was enormous. The only real effort required was in choosing where to place the new decorations.

"Yes, Miss!"

Wang Minli never questioned Yun Zijin’s decisions.

"Aunt Wang, after the delivery team has put everything away, please give them some red envelopes. It’s so late, and they still came all this way to deliver things for me. It must have been hard work."

Yun Zijin herself was feeling a little tired and just wanted to wash up and go to sleep.

"Of course. I’ll go get them ready right away."

Wang Minli hurried to the TV cabinet in the living room, unlocked it with a key, and took out some red envelopes and a thick stack of bright red cash.

She kept these at home for just such an occasion. ’See?’ she thought. ’They’re coming in handy now.’

Wang Minli didn’t stuff them with too much money. Two hundred yuan per person would be about right.

After the items were put away, Zero One and his men stayed with the delivery team, not leaving their side until they had escorted them all out of Villa No. 1.

"Here you go, everyone. These are red envelopes from our Miss. It’s not much money, just a token of her appreciation. I hope you don’t mind."

"It’s dark out now, so please drive carefully and get home safely!"

The members of the delivery team hadn’t expected to receive a tip. Their eyes lit up one by one.

"Oh, this is just part of our job! Miss Yun is too kind."

They said as much, but each of them snatched up a red envelope faster than the last.

Wang Minli smiled brightly. ’As expected of Miss,’ she thought, ’she really knows how to treat people well.’

After seeing the delivery team off, Wang Minli returned to the villa and went into the storeroom, curious to see what decorations Yun Zijin had bought today.

"AHH!"

It was one of those things—it was fine until she looked, but one glance was enough to give her a fright!

"What’s wrong? What happened?"

Wang Minli’s shriek brought all the other servants running over.

"Zero One! Ling Er! Get over here!"

Staring at the "decorations" before her, Wang Minli could feel her blood pressure rising.

The servants who had come running also saw the new "decorations" that had just been moved into the storeroom.

They knew, of course, that Yun Zijin would never buy fakes, which meant these were all real.

Recalling what Miss had said when she first walked in, the servants completely understood Wang Minli’s shriek.

Hearing Wang Minli call for them, Zero One and Ling Er walked over, confused.

"These things... are the decorations you just brought in?"

Wang Minli pointed at the Luminous Pearl, the basketball-sized Fulu Shou Jade, and those seven colorful diamonds...

"That’s right. These are what Miss told us about."

Zero One nodded. Of course, they had done exactly as Yun Zijin instructed; they wouldn’t have made the slightest mistake.

"Do you have any idea what these are? Miss... Is she certain she wants to use these as decorations?"

"These items are so precious. What if one of the staff bumps into them while cleaning or just passing by?"

"If one of these things breaks, we could sell everything we own and still not be able to afford it!"

"Besides, leaving these things out in the open is just asking for a thief to come calling!"

Wang Minli felt like she was worrying herself sick over this household.

"It was Miss’s decision."

The implication was clear: they only followed Yun Zijin’s orders. Anything else was not their concern.

If Wang Minli thought it was inappropriate, she would have to take it up with Yun Zijin herself.

Wang Minli was about to lose it.

"I understand. You can go back to your duties. I’ll go talk to Miss myself."

Wang Minli knew that Zero One and the others would never have made such an absurd decision without direct orders from Yun Zijin.

The other servants glanced back at the pile of "decorations," covering their mouths to stifle their laughter.

’Using priceless jade and diamonds as home decor... only our Miss would do something like that.’

’As expected of the tycoon who paid the highest wages in the business,’ they thought, ’her extravagance is truly on another level.’

Yun Zijin, who was taking a shower in her room, was completely unaware of the commotion the "decorations" had caused outside.

By the time she finished her shower and came out, everything outside was quiet.

Seeing how late it was, Wang Minli decided not to disturb Yun Zijin and planned to discuss the matter with her the next day instead.

**********

[Spending Task: Host must spend ¥3,000,000.00 before midnight today. Task Reward: To be unlocked.]

The sky was just beginning to lighten when the task reminder from Randomly Spend arrived.

Yun Zijin pried her eyes open and dragged herself out of bed to get ready for the day.

Breakfast today was soup dumplings and soy milk prepared by a chef Wang Minli had recently hired. They were delicious, and Yun Zijin ate ten soup dumplings all by herself.

Just as Yun Zijin was finishing her breakfast, Wang Minli approached.

"Miss, there’s something I need to ask you about."

"What is it?"

Yun Zijin set down her tablet and sat up straighter.

"It’s about the decorations from the auction yesterday. I feel... they might not be very suitable." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Hearing this, Yun Zijin tilted her head in confusion. "Is there a problem? They aren’t fakes, are they? This auction was hosted by the four great families of Dijing. The chance of a fake showing up is virtually zero."

If fakes could appear at their auction, the reputation of the four great families would be ruined.

"No... it’s not that. I just feel they’re all too valuable to be used as household decorations. What if someone clumsy bumps into one and it breaks? You’d be the one heartbroken."

"Besides, with those pieces around, the staff will be walking on eggshells while they work. Their efficiency will definitely drop."

It had to be said, Wang Minli’s concerns were perfectly reasonable.

"Don’t worry. They aren’t that expensive."

"If you’re worried they’ll get bumped into in the living room with all the foot traffic, then move them into my study. We can swap out the decorations that are in there now."

"Pick some of the less fragile ones to display in the living room. That should solve it."

"And don’t you worry that I’ll demand compensation if something gets broken. As long as I know it wasn’t intentional, you’re working diligently, and you’re not siding with outsiders against the family, I won’t make you pay for it."

"Great! In that case, I’ll go take another look and make sure to find the perfect spots to display them!"

Yun Zijin’s words were the calming pill Wang Minli needed.
