While Crane was filling out the offer of interest form, Valilla was doing something similar.

After the rest, she got up early, washed up and dressed up, took the subway to the West End, and then took a horse-drawn carriage to Beckland University.

Seeing the castle-like buildings and grand gates of Beckland University, Valeera was stunned for a moment, and her heart was full of emotion.

I think the last time she came here, she was still a young and handsome guy......

Nowadays, time has passed, and things are people......

Valera sighed quietly and stepped inside.

A short walk along the smooth marble pavement leads to a thick porch and a beautifully arranged flower bed with a variety of flowers.

Behind the flower beds is a large lawn with some public facilities and equipment for sports and leisure.

There are still two or three weeks before the summer vacation, so there are still many students on the lawn, walking, reading aloud, or playing and playing.

Valera walked to the huge castle-like building in the middle of the lawn.

After a few rounds, she found an office in the castle that was in charge of interviews.

"Tuk, tuk!"

Valera knocked on the three-dimensional wood-colored door decorated with geometric lines.

"Please come in."

It's a magnetic male voice that sounds relatable.

Valiera pushed the door open and entered, seeing the owner of the voice.

Honestly, his own physiognomy does not match his voice.

The instructor, Yonsam Favali, looked to be in his thirties, but his hairline was much lower than that of Benson in the past, and his facial features were relatively ordinary.

During the brief time that Valeera observed Teacher Yin Sam, he was also looking at Valeera who pushed the door in.

Amazing.

That was his first feeling.

This lady, dressed in a light dress, a wide-brimmed gauze hat of the same color, and tulle gloves on her hands, was as pure and beautiful as a forest elf.

"Hello, is this the teacher Yonsam Favalli who is in charge of the interview reception? I'm here to apply for a trainee lecturer. ”

The crisp voice brought the instructor back to his senses.

"Yes, I am."

He quickly got up, walked to the opposite side of the desk, pulled out the wooden chair, made a gesture, and said with a smile:

"Please be seated, ma'am, I need to see your letters of recommendation first."

……

After leaving Beckland University, Valera hired a carriage and traveled to Hilston, where she found a random upscale hotel and rented a suite.

After a short rest in her room, she went out again.

This time, Valilla's place to go is the "Metropolitan Society of Helping Domestic Servants".

She needed to hire an experienced butler and then have them organize a team of servants to be able to smoothly reactivate the garden villa that Qi Li had left behind.

The Metropolitan Helping Family Servants Association is located at 9 Canalowell Street in the Joe Wood District.

Valera is no stranger to the area.

Before he became an "Assassin", she had been here twice as Lexar Hunter.

At that time, Lexa was not a bounty hunter, but a servant born poorly.

This time, she came here again, but her identity had changed to that of a wealthy owner.

"Good afternoon, ma'am, and welcome to the 'Metropolitan Society for the Helping of Domestic Servants', we are at your service."

Valera had just entered the door, and before she reached the front of the reception desk, the two receptionists sitting behind the desk greeted her with a smile and greeted her warmly.

The two receptionists are very young, the man is handsome, the woman is pretty, and they are both middle-to-upper.

The young male receptionist smiled brightly and took the initiative to ask:

"Ma'am, what do you call it? What kind of help do you need? ”

"Valilla Vecchi." Valera reported her name and said coldly, "I need to hire a housekeeper, a good housekeeper." ”

The male receptionist in the purple vest made a "please" gesture and led Valeera to the reception area and sat down on a fabric sofa.

"What kind of housekeeper do you want, Ms. Vicky?" "Once we have confirmed your requirements, we will provide you with a list of suitable candidates as soon as possible to make your choice." ”

"It's going to take a little bit of time."

Valera took off the wide-brimmed gauze hat from her head, nodded vigorously, and said:

"I've just arrived in Beckland and need a housekeeper who is very experienced in managing the internal affairs of the family, preferably not too old."

After a moment's recollection, the hostess, with his expertise, stood not far in front of Valilla and replied meticulously:

"Madame, you should know that most of these housekeepers are promoted by the master of the master of the house from the long-serving chief maid or the personal maid, unless a major fault has been made, or they are no longer able to provide effective service, or there is an accident in the master's family...... In general, they rarely come to our association for help. ”

"Of course, there are always exceptions."

The hostess paused and continued:

"Ms. Vicky, we have a lot of resources here, and there are indeed a few types you need, and generally speaking, this kind of housekeeper has a minimum salary of more than 40 pounds a year."

Generally speaking, the annual salary of a normal housekeeper is about 40-80 pounds, which is roughly the same as that of the average skilled worker, and the salary of a female housekeeper is much lower.

And the excellent butlers who once served the aristocracy, because many wealthy merchants who pursued the upper class were willing to recruit at a premium, and the annual salary was generally at least 100 pounds or more.

Of course, while it may seem that the average housekeeper earns the same as a skilled worker, if you take into account the cost of living, the job of a housekeeper is far better than that of a tradesman.

The advantage of a housekeeper is that the master will provide the necessary things such as rooms, food, clothes, charcoal for heating, etc., and there is almost no expense in daily life, which is incomparable to that of a technician.

However, there are gains and losses, and the price the butler pays for this is more freedom.

Through the experience of Crane in the original book, Valera has long known the general market, so she is not surprised, just nodded lightly and said:

"That's fine, as long as they're good stewards."

The man's expression did not change because of the coldness shown by Valeera, and he still said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you, please be patient for a while."

"Would you rather have coffee or tea?"

"Black tea." Valera waved her hand casually.

The hostess withdrew, and soon after, the hostess brought a cup of Xibe tea.

This is a lower-to-average grade of black tea, and it is also served on steam trains.

Valeera was accustomed to drinking, but she took a shallow sip and placed it on the table beside her.

Do a full set of dramas, since you want to support the identity of wealth, you must pay attention to these details.

She didn't bring a personal maid, and when she came here alone, she was already a little down, and if she went on a business trip in the details, then the so-called rich identity would be impossible to talk about.

After a while, the waitress returned, took a stack of papers, sat down on the couch across from Valeera, and said:

"Ma'am, after screening, we currently have two suitable housekeepers here."

"Allow me to give you a rough introduction."

He glanced up, saw Valeera nodding in agreement, and then continued:

"The first, Ms. Lori Peralta, 41 years old, worked her way up from the lowliest maid to the chief maid in a wealthy businessman, and then after the other woman's daughter got married, she followed her and worked as a housekeeper until the master's finances were in crisis, and she had to leave, and she was very experienced in the internal management of the family."

"She asked for £45 a year."

"The second, Ms. Kana Coltelin, 37 years old, had in fact no experience as a housekeeper, she had worked as the head maid of a wealthy merchant for more than five years, and she had never made a mistake, and she had also been trained as a housekeeper's assistant for almost a year, but unfortunately the daughter of the wealthy merchant died of illness before the engagement, and Lady Lori lost her job."

"She asked for a salary of £40 a year."

After the introduction, the waitress put the information in his hand on the table, pushed it to Valeera, and asked:

"Ms. Vicky, have you considered which one to choose?"

Valeera replied, though inclined in her heart:

"I need to have a simple conversation with them in person before it's finalized."

She picked up the pen and paper on the table, wrote down the address of the high-end hotel where she checked in at noon, and asked, "Let the two of them come here to see me at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, is there a problem?" ”

"No problem, ma'am."
