The housekeeper introduced to Ye Kai by the bank staff is called Alvin, who is in his 40s this year, wearing a snow-white shirt, a black jacket vest, a black tuxedo, straight black trousers and shiny black leather shoes, and a black bow tie around his neck. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He graduated in financial management from the University of Cambridge in the Eagle Kingdom, and entered the housekeeping profession in order to take care of an old professor who had been widowed for many years, and after the death of the old professor, Alvin was unemployed again until the bank recommended him through the housekeeper association.

Ye Kai doesn't have any concept of housekeeping, all the knowledge comes from the Internet and TV in his previous life, but at least he knows one thing that before reaching an agreement between the two, there can be a process of understanding each other to see if they are satisfied.

Alvin said that he had no opinion on Ye Kai, but Ye Kai wanted to test it, and said: "I myself have no doubts about your work experience and ability, but the housekeeper I am looking for is not to take care of my life, but more to help me take care of the company, so I want to conduct a simple test on you, I hope you don't mind." ”

After seeing Alvin nodding in agreement, he took out the manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" from his backpack, handed it to Alvin, and said: "This is a novel I wrote myself, but it was rejected by at least 3 or more publishing houses, so I want to hear your opinion." ”

Alvin took the manuscript in Ye Kai's hand with an elegant posture, and did not sit down, but opened it, and read it very seriously and devotedly, while Ye Kai and Deng Jun sat next to him and waited quietly, Ye Kai of course knew it in his heart, but Deng Lijun was a little apprehensive in his heart, afraid that Alvin would also not be optimistic about this novel, which would hit Ye Kai hard.

Alvin read it very seriously and slowly, only read more than 10 pages in half an hour, then closed the manuscript, bowed slightly to Ye Kai and said: "Although I have only read a small part of this book, I can still say with certainty that this novel is really very exciting, and the magical world in it is directly following "The Lord of the Rings", and those publishers who refuse are either blind or speaking with a conscience, because of their pig-brain-like thinking, they have always thought that children's literature is too long and will make children not have so much patience to read it." ”

"However, here, I want to say a word, children read children's books, not in its length or not, but in whether it can have a wonderful story, attracting them to read seriously and patiently is the key, and this book, not only for children, but also for me, has also aroused a lot of interest, you must know that the original definition of children's novels, there are also many adults, accepted, liked, the early years of "Alice Wonderland" is one of the masterpieces."

"Then do you analyze this novel, which was rejected by those previous publishers, continue to find a new publisher and continue to wait, or directly find a publisher and publish it at our own expense?" Ye Kai asked quietly.

"My personal suggestion is that for such a promising novel, instead of touching those nails with low eyes, it is better for us to publish it at our own expense, so that in addition to the publication costs, printing costs and publicity costs, we will earn our own, especially when the fame of the book is hit, and some agents come to the door." Alvin replied confidently and calmly.

"Are you sure?" Ye Kai frowned and asked with an unhappy face.

"I'm sure, and I swear in God's name!" Alvin did not waver in his judgment at all because of Ye Kai's unhappy face, and even swore by Almighty God.

Ye Kai nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand Alvin shook his hand, and said happily: "Mr. Alvin, we have a happy cooperation!" ”

Then, after signing an employment contract with the staff of the Butler Association who accompanied Alvin to the interview, he took Deng Jun's hand and left the bank door with Alvin with his simple luggage.

After returning to the hotel, Ye Kai gave Alvin a room next to his room, and after opening a room, they went upstairs together, and after Alvin cleaned up his accommodation, he came to Ye Kai's room and waited for instructions.

Ye Kai invited Alvin to sit down, and Deng Jun next to him was making tea next to him, Alvin hurriedly got up and wanted to take over Deng Jun's work and said, "Young lady, this is my business。。。。。。 ”

Deng Jun looked at Alvin with a slightly red face, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, and took the topic that Ye Kai diverted from the topic, only to see Ye Kai wave his hand at Alvin and said: "Mr. Alvin, please do it first, today is the first time we meet, I think we need to have a first understanding of each other, so, I want to talk to you, by the way, talk about your future work, and after that, it will be the time for you to officially go to work." ”

When Alvin heard this, he stopped insisting, sat down again, and stood up very respectfully and waited for Ye Kai to speak.

"You should know by now that I'm from Hong Kong in the Far East, and I'm a Chinese." Ye Kai said. "Housekeeper for us Chinese, belongs to the long history, can be traced back to thousands of years ago, in that long history, loyal to the main housekeeper, as long as not to make any mistakes, basically for life, if the old really can't do it, there is a son will take over the job, no descendants, then the main family will arrange for him to provide for the elderly."

"So, for the steward, the master will treat him as a family." After Ye Kai briefly introduced the concept of a Chinese housekeeper, he then changed his words and continued. "So, what I mean is very simple, as long as you don't make any intolerable mistakes, then you can do this job until the day you go to see God, or you leave this house on your own initiative, Alvin, do you understand what I mean?"

Alvin nodded and said. "I understand what the young master means, what the young master means is that as long as I finally do my job, then, I can do this job until I don't want to do it, right?"

Ye Kai nodded and added. "What's more important is that you will be part of the family, and you will be loved and respected."

Alvin was a little moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, both of them knew that it would take a long time to see people's hearts, what kind of person they were, and they would naturally understand after getting along for a long time, so the two men only needed to bring words to each other in this regard.

At this time, Deng Jun put the brewed tea in front of Ye Kai and Alvin's table, and sat down next to Ye Kai.
