Chapter Let’s talk

After monitoring and checking clearly, Butler Li quietly reported to Xue Ling.

"Madam, my cousin is out again."

Xue Ling nodded and asked, "Is the car your own? Are your bodyguards and psychiatrist accompanying you?"

"Yes, everyone is following." Butler Li replied.

Xue Ling felt relieved and said warmly: "This child has a weak personality and is not very considerate in dealing with things. You have to pay more attention to her coming in and out."

Butler Li smiled and bowed: "You are too polite. This is what I should do."

Xue Ling said warmly: "If the bodyguards and psychiatrists work overtime, could you please help me write it down. I will pay them the overtime pay at the beginning of next month."

"Okay." Butler Li nodded: "I'll write it down later."

Xue Ling warned: "The population here is getting bigger and bigger now. Xiaoxin has a poor appetite during pregnancy, so you have to worry more about the food arrangements in the kitchen."

"Yes." Butler Li explained with a smile: "I have already learned about some of the young lady's dietary preferences from Mr. Chen, and I will discuss the young lady's recipe with the chefs later. You can rest assured."

Xue Ling chuckled softly: "You handle everything well and your thoughts are as meticulous as silk. I am very relieved."

Butler Li nodded politely and whispered: "Then I'll go first -"

"Wait!" Xue Ling suddenly called out to her.

Butler Li smiled and turned sideways.

Xue Ling's eyes were full of admiration and asked: "Xiao Li, can I talk to you about some personal topics?"

Butler Li nodded hurriedly: "Of course."

Xue Ling asked: "How old are you today?"

"I'm almost thirty." Butler Li thought for a while and replied, "I immigrated here with my parents when I was in my teens."

"Oh?" Xue Ling asked curiously: "Is the whole family immigrating together?"

Butler Li answered yes and explained: "People in my father's family like to travel around the world on boats. My father was also a crew member when he was young. But my mother has never recognized his work and always hopes that he can work nearby and help take care of him.

Family. Later, our siblings were born one after another. It was very hard for my mother to raise several children by herself, but my father was still reluctant to give up the high salary of a seafarer. Until later, the shipping company he worked for wanted to open a new company here, and my father volunteered.

When he came here, the company leader agreed and gave him a clerical job. My mother heard that the climate here was good and there were many Chinese and overseas Chinese, so she finally nodded in apprehension. Soon after, our family immigrated here.

"

"I see." Xue Ling smiled and praised: "No wonder you speak Chinese so well! If you were born here, you might not be able to speak it so authentically."

"Yes." Butler Li smiled softly: "Another important reason is that my parents sent us to a Chinese school, and the students around us all spoke Mandarin. My parents also encouraged us to speak Mandarin at home, so our siblings spoke Mandarin.

They are all very well said.”

Xue Ling said warmly: "It is fate that we can meet each other in a foreign country, live together under the same roof and trust each other."

"Thank you, madam." Butler Li whispered shyly: "Fortunately, I have your support and trust, otherwise I would not be qualified for this job."

Xue Ling shook his head and chuckled: "You are too humble. Your planning and management skills are very good, you are decent, confident, modest and generous. To be honest, I have full praise for you. My son-in-law said at the beginning that you are very professional and do things well.

You are very considerate in what you do, but I didn’t take it seriously. Until I got along with you more, I realized more and more that he didn’t describe it well enough!”

"Haha!" Butler Li laughed: "Madam, you are really good at making people happy. Every time I chat with you, I am happy and relaxed, and I can learn a lot."

Xue Ling narrowed his eyes with a smile and suggested: "If it doesn't delay your work, sit down and chat for a while."

"Okay." Butler Li sat on a small round chair nearby.

Xue Ling asked again: "From what you just said, you should have quite a few sisters and brothers, right? Have you returned to China?"

"Four." Butler Li replied: "Three sisters and one brother. No, they are all here. I am the third child and my brother is the youngest. Among us, only my brother is married, and the three sisters are still single.

.”

Xue Ling smiled and asked: "Your sister should be in her early forties, right? She doesn't have a partner yet?"

"We talked about it, but we didn't get married." Butler Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Many overseas Chinese here marry late and have children late, or even stay married and have no children."

"Oh?" Xue Ling asked doubtfully, "Can't you accept the family concept here?"

Butler Li explained: "More than that, it's more because of my high vision and strong independence. Our sisters are all highly educated and have very independent personalities. Maybe it's because there are not many people to choose from. There are Chinese people here.

I like to look for Chinese people, not local people.”

Xue Ling nodded slowly and asked, "Is it the influence of traditional concepts? Or is it something else?"

"Family and personal." Butler Li smiled bitterly: "My parents all asked for this, and it was the only request. They said that there is no financial requirement, and it doesn't matter if they have an ordinary job, but they must be Chinese. I didn't listen to them.

But I searched and searched, but still couldn't find the right one. My brother is looking for a Chinese girl. My sister-in-law has traditional ideas and gets along well with our family."

Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Most elders hope that their children will still marry Chinese, right?"

"Yes." Butler Li explained: "All the Chinese here are like this."

Xue Ling asked again: "Are the Chinese boys here not good enough? Do you look down on them?"

"There are still some outstanding people." Butler Li chuckled: "For example, Mr. Chen. But no matter how many Chinese there are, there are still not as many as the locals. They do not have an advantage in terms of numbers, and the range of choices is obviously smaller. Those who immigrated here

The older generation is more traditional in their thinking, and the younger generation they are taught are generally well-behaved, receive higher education, and work as white-collar workers. Of course, there are also some families who have big businesses and are very influential in the business community here."

Xue Ling nodded slightly and asked, "It shouldn't be difficult to investigate a person here, right?"

"It's not difficult." Butler Li said truthfully: "Mr. Chen has a very wide network of contacts here. You just need to tell him and he will do it quickly."

Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "My child is not mature enough, and the grandfather is worried. He said that he would help check it out to prevent her from being deceived. It is difficult to judge this person who is not familiar with the place."

I originally thought that Xue Han was just a whim, and no one took it seriously, and Xue Ling didn't want to interfere too much.

But Xue Zhilan said that she has been coming back more and more late recently, looking like she is in love, and she is worried that the bars and entertainment venues here are too chaotic and her granddaughter will suffer.

You don't need to investigate too thoroughly, you just need to make sure that the other party is not a gangster or a person of unknown origin. The old man's requirements are not high at all.

Butler Li suggested: "Madam, you can ask Mr. Chen for help. I believe there will be good news soon."

"Okay." Xue Ling nodded: "Thank you."

Butler Li was secretly confused, but he couldn't ask too clearly, so he stood up and walked away with a smile.

Logically speaking, Madam can just go to Mr. Chen to handle the matter directly. Why are you talking so much with her?
