Chapter 1034 - The New Home Will Be Established
Chapter 1034 of "Super Soldier in the City" commences with: Chapter 1034: Chapter 1077: The New Home Will Be EstablishedThe next morning, Li Yifei didnât... Donât miss the next part!
Chapter 1034: Chapter 1077: The New Home Will Be EstablishedThe next morning, Li Yifei didnât need to get up so early. It was Sunday, the perfect day to sleep in. Since Chu Xiaoyao hadnât come back this week and with final exams just a few days away, she was busy cramming at school. Once she finished her exams, she would be on vacation and wouldnât specifically need to come back on a Saturday anymore.
Last night had been wild. Ning Xinâer and Zheng Yuling were still lounging in bed, too lazy to move, with their arms and thighs wrapped around Li Yifei.
Li Yifeiâs phone buzzed with a WeChat notification. There were no strangers on this WeChat account of his; aside from family, it was just some close friends.
This time, it was Michelle who sent a message. It wasnât a voice message, just a text.
"Brother Li, are you awake yet?"
"Yeah, but I havenât gotten out of bed." Li Yifei quickly replied.
"Youâre such a lazybones. Itâs almost eight oâclock and youâre still not up."
"Isnât it the weekend? Itâs rare to indulge and stay in bed."
As Li Yifei chatted with Michelle like this, he felt a sweet sensation in his heart, especially sensing the happiness in Michelleâs words. He felt more convinced that he was doing the right thing; otherwise, Michelle would be truly miserable.
"You seem to be enjoying your chat," Ning Xinâer leaned in to peek at the chat between Li Yifei and Michelle. Li Yifei didnât stop her; he let her read everything.
Li Yifei smiled and asked, "Do you want to chat with Little Snow for a bit?"
"Sure." Ning Xinâer unceremoniously grabbed the phone and sent a voice message, "Morning, Little Snow! This is Ning Xinâer. We havenât seen each other for so long!"
The reply from the other side came quickly. This time Michelle also sent a voice message, "Sorry for disturbing you so early in the morning."
"No worries, weâre all awake, just lying in bed. Little Snow, when will you come stay with us? Iâve been drooling over you for a while. I really want to pamper you a bit."
"Ah... what do you mean by pampering... Sister Xinâer, I donât understand what youâre saying."
"Hehe, we have so many people in our family. If each person spends one day with Brother Li, when would it be my turn? Thatâs why Brother Li enjoys a duo every day. If you come over, we might even add another one at night. Then we could all be together. Not only could Brother Li pamper you, but I could also pamper you. I really like shy girls like you."
Li Yifei couldnât help but chuckle, playfully scolding, "Xinâer, you little rascal, donât scare Little Snow."
Ning Xinâer immediately sent another voice message, "Little Snow, your Brother Li said I scared you. Hehe, at most, Iâll just watch without touching."
It took a while for Michelle to reply, "Sister Xinâer, youâre such a rascal."
Laughing, Ning Xinâer responded, "Our family is full of rascals now. If you join us, itâll be the same sooner or later. The thicker your skin, the more youâll enjoy it. If youâre too shy, you might miss out completely."
"I... My mom is calling me for something. Letâs talk later." Michelle retreated abruptly. She liked Li Yifei, but discussing such topics directly with Ning Xinâer was more than she could handle.
"Honey, I didnât mean to scare Michelle on purpose. This is just the reality of our household. If she really wants to be with you, she needs to be prepared for this. Itâs better to let her know early, so she can be mentally prepared, right?"
Li Yifei agreed with Ning Xinâerâs point of view. Besides, it wasnât really appropriate for him to speak those words to Michelle. Having Ning Xinâer say it jokingly could help Michelle think things through, so she wouldnât be caught off guard and become miserable once she joined in.
After sending that message, Michelle hadnât contacted Li Yifei again, assuming that there must be others around Li Yifei, and fearing more teasing from them. She was quite familiar with the people in Li Yifeiâs house, except for Zheng Yuling and Xiao Lingâer. She also knew that everyone wouldnât ostracize her, but she still found such teasing a bit too much to handle.
On one weekend, Li Yifei and his family all went to the new house. Li Yifei called Michelle to come over, but she was going shopping with her mother and, fearing the teasing, declined the invitation. Li Yifei didnât press her.
By mid-July, the house was nearing completion, with the decor largely finished and the facilities in the yard basically done. Most of the workers had left, and now it really looked like a beautiful Suzhou Garden.
The external staff had now moved into the garden to work. Li Yifeiâs primary focus was on the security measures for the perimeter, which was the most critical barrier protecting his family. He couldnât afford the slightest negligence.
Much of this was personally arranged by Li Yifei. During his many years with the Flying Hawk Squad, security work was a very important aspect of his role, for how else could he protect those high-profile leaders?
Investing heavily in his own home, Li Yifei had poured over thirty million into the security equipment.
Everything was installed to high standards, satisfying Li Yifei. The next important aspect was the security staff; these individuals were experts who used to kill without blinking. Now that they were older, their state of mind had settled, and they found contentment working as security for Li Yifei. Most didnât care about status but rather a way of living, and a strong presence like the Golden Eagle made it an appealing post. The fact that Li Yifei chose them thoroughly guaranteed their loyalty.
Sophia, Li Yifeiâs disciple with considerable strength, was in charge of these external staff members. Inside the house, Li Yifei had hired a butler in his forties, bringing over a decade of experience in the profession.
Donât underestimate the importance of a butler, who manages all domestic affairs. Throughout history, large families and well-to-do households have relied on capable butlers to save the owners a great deal of trouble.
The butler was responsible for a lot, taking commands from all house staff. Inform the butler of the masterâs needs, and he would ensure everything was organized impeccably.
Li Yifeiâs house now had over forty workers, and having the wives of the household manage them would have been an undue burden.
After inspecting the perimeter for more than three hours, Li Yifei knew that such matters couldnât be taken lightly. Even the smallest oversight could be enough for an expert. He believed any troublemaker seeking him out wouldnât be weak; hence, his defenses were tailored for experts. Ordinary people would likely be caught way before reaching the walls.
Satisfied after the inspection, Li Yifei returned to the courtyard, where everyone was gathered in the dining room. Since it was quite simple, the dining room had been ready earlier. Many people had moved in, all requiring meals, so everything was already prepared. SŃarch* The NovŃlĆire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Having their first meal in this house, everyone was noticeably happy. The young girls might not have been beautiful, but they had a certain presence. Serving as common nannies here, they received high wages and lived in such a beautiful courtyard, which they found a source of pride. Being known as part of this household was indeed prestigious.
Little Yifei had only eaten a bit before running off to play, now the little princess of the house. As soon as she ventured out, two girls followed to accompany her and ensure her safety, which made Little Yifei even more excited. The people attending her usually didnât listen to her quite as much as they did now.
After the meal, the butler approached Li Yifei, bowing slightly and said, "Sir, this afternoon, weâre still short on staff. Hence, Iâve engaged a professional recruiting firm to select a group of candidates for us to choose from. Would you like to review them?"
Li Yifei nodded, "Letâs take a look."
Internal staff were also quite important. If any could be bribed to become a mole, they would pose the hardest challenge to defend against.
No matter how many precautions you take, itâs difficult to guard against a traitor within the home, especially those in close contact with the family. Li Yifei was even more meticulous in his screening. The previous batches of hires underwent rigorous checks: family backgrounds with local, non-official, non-business-owning parents (or being an orphan was preferable), good character and temperament, diligent and mild-mannered with team spirit, and, importantly, having no criminal record. Girls with dubious pasts, like those called Little Taimei, were firmly off the list. Li Yifeiâs selection criteria were as strict as a political vetting process.
The butler brought the files of twenty-one candidates, all of whom had already passed initial screenings and met the requirements.
Then the butler led the candidates in for Li Yifei to review, judging their character based on his own experience. Without letting emotions cloud his judgment, Li Yifei could spot anyone with ulterior motives with just one look.
As his gaze swept over the group, a familiar figure caught Li Yifeiâs eye, a surprising sight indeed. He hadnât expected to see this girl here; whether by coincidence or some other reason, he couldnât tell. The girl herself was extremely surprised, opening her mouth but unable to speak.
