At nine o'clock in the morning, in a high-end hotel in Hilston District.
Klein picked up a bottle of exquisitely wrapped white wine, handed it to the old man opposite him with a smile and said:
Mr. Asnia, thank you very much for coming to interview me. This is a very small gift, please accept it.
I will make a decision tomorrow at the latest, and I may come to visit you at that time.
He is using a tactful attitude to indicate that the other party is defeated.
To be honest, he was actually quite satisfied with the old man Asnia. The other party perfectly conformed to his imagination of the housekeeper, he was rigorous, decent, professional, had a strong understanding, and was good at dealing with various troubles.
As the oldest one among the three housekeepers, he actually lived the farthest and the oldest, he actually waited outside the door half an hour in advance, while Ribak and Walter were only a quarter of an hour ahead of time.
If it weren't for the Magic Mirror Arodes' reminder that there were some extra clues hidden in the latter two, Klein felt that he would choose this old man. Anyway, his main purpose was to use the butler's connections to get into the upper class more easily and naturally and get in touch with the corresponding goals.
And the bottle of white wine was bought at Intis Cerenzo, which he considered that someone must have returned home disappointed today and wasted the round-trip carriage fare. Each bottle was worth 2 pounds.
This can effectively enrich the image of Dawn Downtese, a rich and elegant mysterious rich man.
In addition, he also believed that he could not underestimate a butler from an aristocratic family. In his past professional experience, this type of person must know a large number of upper-class people, many professional butlers and countless servants, covering three levels, middle and lower, which can effectively influence the reputation of a gentleman, which is a necessary reference for entering a higher-level social circle.
In this era, 55-year-old Asnia's hair has become much whiter, and her blue eyes are precipitated with the wisdom brought by time. He did not refuse the gift of Dawn Dontes. He took it and looked at it, and saluted meticulously:
I love this white wine from Carlod, thank you for your generosity and praise your demeanor.
Carlod?
Yes, the waiter introduced yesterday that this is a winery in Intis Champagne Province, which is famous for producing medium and high-end wines. The wines of several vintages are top-notch. Alas, a housekeeper knows more about wine than me. As nicknamed, Mr. Asnia just said that the wine cellars of nobles and rich people are directly responsible for by the housekeeper or a housekeeper assistant... Does this mean that I will have a wine cellar in the future, and the 2 pound grade is the bottom type, and 126 pound 1330 Ormeer red wine is not the best... How much does such a wine cellar cost Ah... As I thought about it, Klein felt a little stuffy on his chest, and suspected that the 2,888 pounds that were excluded from gold coins will not last long.
If he hadn't had the experience of the clown at this stage, he would have been out of control at this time, instead of smiling and speaking:
Your like is my greatest praise. Mr. Asnya, please invite Mr. Ribak in the cafe below.
Asnya agreed without hesitation. In less than five minutes, Ribak knocked on the door and entered the living room.
This gentleman has a very neatly combed light blonde hair, with a little wrinkle hidden around his mouth, which is not too obvious. He has a healthy skin color and a masculine temperament. At first glance, he is the kind of housekeeper who can accompany his master to hunt or even fight against the enemy.
After greeting each other, Klein smiled and asked the other person to sit down, and said directly:
Forgive my confession, I don’t understand much why you became the butler of Baron Shindras. Your father was the deputy butler of the Negan family, your grandfather was the deacon of the family. Many of your ancestors served the Duke and his relatives until you returned to God’s arms. You should have had such a trajectory of life.
Because of the influence of Emperor Rossell, the countries in the Northern Continent originally liked to use fiefdoms to express the habit of a nobleman, and became a surname to add a title. The former would be used unless it was particularly formal. Of course, there are also a small number of nobles' surnames that directly originate from the fiefdom names.
Ribak replied with a standard smile:
Baron Sindras was a new nobleman and a friend of the old duke, so I was sent to his home to help him and his family adapt to the noble life and master the corresponding etiquette.
The old duke he mentioned refers to the current Duke of Negan, Palasnegan, who was assassinated last year.
So, why did you leave the Baron's house later?Klein asked carefully.
Ribak said frankly:
Although Baron Shindras relied on the Conservative Party to obtain the title, he himself was one of the most famous banker, investor, and business owners in the kingdom, and one of the earliest millionaires. He had strong sympathy for the New Party and was willing to provide some help, which caused him to have conflicts with many conservative nobles, including the Little Duke.
So, in order to avoid the Baron's embarrassment, I took the initiative to leave. He actually tried to keep me. He is a good employer.
Klein nodded and asked:
Do you believe in the 'Lord of the Storm'?
Ribak responded seriously:
Yes, the Lord has given us courage, enthusiasm and responsibility.
Klein asked a few more questions about the housekeeper's field, and received detailed answers, then smiled and said to Ribak:
Please go to the cafe downstairs to ask Mr. Walter to come up.
After I finish talking to him, I will make a decision, you can wait ten minutes in the cafe.
OKRibak didn't say anything at all, and immediately stood up to salute, said goodbye and left, with a very military style.
Watching him out, after closing the door, Klein sat down again, picked up the black tea, took a sip, and said silently:
If he is chosen, he should establish contact with the current Duke of Negan and the Conservative Party. The additional development may include some of the situations in the previous assassination...
Not long after, Walter arrived and knocked on the door and entered.
Klein first exchanged a few greetings with the other party, and then asked:
What conflicts do you have with Viscount Connord's housekeeper?You know, I have to figure this out, I can't take the risk of offending a nobleman.
Walter's forehead was wide, his black hair was shiny, and his brown eyes were serious, but it didn't make people feel unable to talk to him. He thought for a few seconds and said:
As the butler's assistant, I was in charge of the Viscount's children. During this process, I was appreciated by a big man because of some things, so I was respected by Viscount and was guarded by Mr. Butler.
Later, the big man passed away due to an accident, and the Viscount's attitude towards me changed, and Mr. Butler was even more unfriendly, which made me think there was no need to wait for a turnaround.
The children in charge of the Viscount met a big man... Well, Talim also met Prince Edsack while teaching Viscount Connord's youngest son, who died a few months ago due to the great smog incident in Beckland... This is in line with Walter's statement... It seems that this butler was the marginal victim of the incident at that time Ah... He was still very cautious and professional, and did not reveal the employer's shortcomings, did not reveal the prince's affairs, and did not say bad things about the Viscount's butler... If he chose him, the extra development is worth looking forward to... Klein listened quietly and recalled some things.
He turned to some professional topics and expressed his desire to enter the upper class. After receiving a satisfactory answer, he sorted out his clothes, smiled and said:
Get to know again, Dawn Dance, your employer.
Walter immediately saluted:
Sir, is there anything that can serve you?
He always maintained a serious and unstoppable appearance, as if he thought this was the professional quality of the housekeeper.
Two things.Klein laughed, First, help me bring this bottle of white wine to Mr. Ribak in the cafe below, and convey my apology and thanks. Second, ask a lawyer to draw up a professional contract, including you and the rest of the servants.
Yes, sir.Walter saluted again.
Klein asked casually while handing over the white wine to the other party:
Walter, how many servants do you think I should hire to not be rude?
Walter took the bottle of Carlode white wine and replied without hesitation:
You should first determine where to live, only in this way can you know how many servants you need.
Well, what advice do you have?My request is simple, living in the North District, I am a devout goddess believer.Klein casually drew a crimson moon on his chest.
Judging from the information I saw in newspapers and magazines, the rent of a garden villa in a high-end neighborhood in the city is at least 3 pounds per week, which is 156 pounds per year... Although there is no direct data, it can be inferred that the very good garden villa in the suburbs is about 2 pounds per week, and the several bedrooms and living rooms in high-end apartments are similar. This is said to be quite luxurious and is a place where the upper middle class can rent. Well, we can use this to initially infer the rent of the rich houses...
It's really expensive. When I was in Tingen, the garden-free townhouse I rented was only 13 Suller per week, plus an extra 5pc furniture fee. The house I lived in Minsk Street before was not worth 1 pound...
Alas, 3 pounds is only 3 pounds, I still have 2888 pounds. It doesn’t matter if I rent it any better, it doesn’t matter... While waiting for Walter to answer, Klein silently recalled the house rental information in his heart, calculating the money he had to pay every week and year.
Walter thought for two seconds and replied seriously:
Sir, you can choose 32 Berklund Street, which is close to St. Samuel's Church, is a three-story building with more than a dozen rooms with stables, servant's room and a considerable garden, and nearby live from the Baron, the House of Commons, senior barristers...
The furnishings inside are very particular, with many famous paintings and antiques. All the furniture and utensils are enough to set off your identity. You can rent them for one year first, and then consider whether to buy them as a whole.
Sounds great Ah… Klein asked with a smile:
How much does it rent per year?
Walter reported the numbers seriously and skillfully:
Including furniture usage fee, it is £1,260 per year.(Note 1)
... Klein was glad that he was not drinking tea, otherwise he would have sprayed the butler's face.
He used almost all of the Joker's control ability, so he did not make his expression abnormal.
Note 1: House rent situation comes from "How much is the past money worth" and "Study on Marriage and Family Life of the Middle Class in the Victorian British.
The 1,260 pound building was rented as an embassy in the Qing Dynasty. I don’t know if it was paid for a premium.
Klein picked up a bottle of exquisitely wrapped white wine, handed it to the old man opposite him with a smile and said:
Mr. Asnia, thank you very much for coming to interview me. This is a very small gift, please accept it.

Asnya agreed without hesitation. In less than five minutes, Ribak knocked on the door and entered the living room.
