Chapter 56 Inner City Homes

  Dinner Chen Lun was settled in the Pompeii manor.

   Viscount Pompeii failed to overcome the dual will of his wife and daughter, and finally chose to let Chen Lun stay.

   "I hereby formally hire you to be Rebecca's governess in her literary and natural studies."

  Viscount Pompeii wiped the corner of his mouth with a tablecloth, and reached out his hand as a gesture.

  The old housekeeper handed over a letter of appointment and a small purse to Chen Lun.

   "A weekly salary of 2 gold pounds and 80 silver nobility, is it acceptable?"

  Chen Lun took it, stood up and saluted the Viscount.

   "Of course, this is my honor, Your Excellency the Viscount."

   Viscount Pompeii nodded, and glanced at his daughter Rebecca beside him.

  The blond girl is taking a peek at her new teacher, not even wiping off the sauce from the corner of her mouth.

  The viscount suddenly felt a headache, and reminded himself that he had to watch closely, lest this boy from a foreign country abduct his precious daughter away.

   "Thank you for your hospitality, I will take my leave first."

  Chen Lun took his short shawl and top hat from the maid, turned around and stroked Madam Pompey's chest.

   "Goodbye, beautiful lady."

   Mrs. Pompey was happy, and it was a very pleasant thing to be praised by the handsome young man.

  She nodded and responded reservedly.

  But Rebecca on the side couldn't help but tighten her fingers, shaking the fork.

   "And of course lovely Miss Rebecca, goodbye."

  Chen Lun finally bowed to Rebecca, put on his top hat, and turned to leave.

  Rebecca immediately beamed with joy, dropped her fork and shouted at Chen Lun:

   "Goodbye, Mr. Jack! Remember to come and give me a lesson tomorrow!"

  Chen Lun waved his hands without looking back, indicating that he heard.

  Mrs. Pompey frowned and scolded Rebecca. It was so embarrassing. How could the Viscount Pompeii's daughter be so rude!

   Not ladylike at all!

  Viscount Pompeii didn't bother to pay attention, he felt that his wife might not be much better.

   Waved his hand and asked Binoz to accompany him to the study, which was really a headache.

  Chen Lun who walked out of the gate of the manor whistled.

   Today, it is the victory of the boast party.

   Just boast about it, and the weekly salary is 28,000.

   "The next step is to find Philip's inheritance hidden in the manor..."

  Chen Lun glanced back at the huge Pompeii manor and left.

  …

  A small manor in the southeast of the inner city.

  This is Chen Lun's chosen permanent residence. Compared with the bustling city center, it will be a little deserted, but the rent is still not cheap.

  He also hired two maids and a coachman, and rented a carriage at the garage.

  Scattered expenditures cost a total of 9 to 10 gold pounds a month. The bulk of it is mainly the rent of the manor and the carriage. The manor is 5 gold pounds per month, and the carriage is 1 gold pound.

   It takes 70 to 80 copper kroes to take a rental carriage in Amber City.

  I often need to go out, and Floy and Connie can also use it. For convenience, he simply rented one.

   "The money I earned as a teacher in the viscount's house is barely enough for expenses...Life is hard."

   Chen Lun sighed and walked into his small manor.

  Passing by a warehouse that had just been refurbished, he happened to see Connie talking with a group of tall and thick men at the warehouse door.

  The generator beside the warehouse was rumbling, and the light above the door ledge was on.

  Connie held a drawing in her hand, pointing fingers on the paper, and the other men nodded from time to time.

   "Connie."

  Chen Lun stepped forward and said hello.

  Connie stopped talking when she saw someone coming, and smiled at Chen Lun.

   "Mr. Jack, I have done everything you asked me to do."

  She pointed to the group of men around her.

  After Floyd and Connie came to the inner city to settle down yesterday, he wrote a letter to Gary, asking him to send someone to pick up Connie and go to the water beach.

   Connie personally selected ten craftsmen from the Iron Fist Gang and brought them back to the inner city.

  Chen Lun paid a lot of money for this, and asked Gary to bribe the management staff of the inner city security station, so that he expeditedly arranged formal identities for these ten craftsmen.

  Of course, because these craftsmen were all captured by the Iron Fist Gang, Chen Lun had told Connie in advance that she would hire people and only choose craftsmen who came voluntarily.

   It looks pretty good now, Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.

   This group of people temporarily lived in the small manor, and Connie organized them to start research and forging. I believe that with Connie's "mind", it will be more efficient to direct their "hands and feet".

   "Nice job, Connie."

  Chen Lun gave a compliment.

   "Where's Floy?"

   "Miss Froy is studying in the room. She has studied the dishes for an afternoon and is waiting for you to come back and have dinner together."

  Connie seemed a little happy. She said that she had read Mrs. Caroline's cookbook for Miss Floyd.

   Immediately afterwards, she explained a few words to the craftsmen, and followed Chen Lun to the single-family villa.

  There are only some simple forging tools in the warehouse for the time being. Chen Lun asked Connie to pre-order a batch of small mechanical equipment, which may take a while to arrive.

   Wallet shrinks again.

  But he believes that he will be able to double his earnings before long.

   "Um, haven't you guys had dinner yet?"

  Chen Lun has already eaten at Pompeii Manor, and he is still a little full now.

"no."

  Connie shook her head, she leaned closer and said in a discussing tone:

   "Mr. Jack, can I be the head maid here? Miss Froy needs someone to take care of her..."

  She paused suddenly, as if recalling the experience of being kidnapped that night, she even dragged Miss Froy's hind legs, and blushed immediately.

   Who will take care of whom is unknown yet.

   "Connie, you are not a servant now, I hope you treat me as a friend...

  If you like, you can also serve as the housekeeper here. Anyway, I seldom stay here, and I really need a person to manage it. "

   Chen Lun said with a smile.

  Connie was a little moved when she heard these words, and nodded vigorously.

   "Mr. Jack, please rest assured that I will manage this place in an orderly manner."

   The two entered the villa while talking.

   This place is definitely not as luxurious as the Pompeii manor, but it is much better than the conditions in the outer city.

  The lobby on the first floor is very spacious, and the living room and kitchen are fully equipped.

  The second floor is the room of the maids and craftsmen, and Chen Lun and Floy Connie live on the third floor.

  The fourth floor is the attic for storing sundries, where Chen Lun will store his "goods".

  When Chen Lun first rented the place, he went out after explaining some things. The layout and arrangement were arranged by Floyd and Connie.

"You're back."

  Floy was waiting at the door early.

   "Let's eat... I've got dinner ready."

   She said, leading Chen Lun and Connie to the restaurant with a smile on her face.

  The dining table was full of food. Chen Lun was very moved when he saw this scene, but he couldn't eat any more.

  Connie was obviously hungry, and Floyd's cooking skills were really good, so she ate without looking at her image.

   "Eat, why not eat?"

   Connie looked at Chen Lun suspiciously with her mouth puffed up.

   "It's delicious, Mr. Jack."

   "Um... I don't really like fish."

  Floy also turned her head to "stare" at him.

   I don't know if it's an illusion, but Chen Lun seems to feel threats mixed with expectations in her emotions.

   "Eat! I love fish so much!

   You must know that I grew up by the sea and fish every day. This is the taste of home! "

  Chen Lun patted his chest and slapped the ghost face badge.

   Work harder, bro! Make me hungry!

   He mouthed dry rice with tears in his eyes, the fish head was hanging by his mouth, shaking up and down as he chewed.

   Seeing Floyd's satisfied expression, he couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

   Immediately after seeing her get up, several new pots of food were brought from the kitchen.

   Still his most hated fish!

   "..."
