Li Kerou looked at the night view of Ginkgo Manor. The mute servants seemed to have received orders and did not come to drive her away, but simply stayed with her and waited silently.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and started learning sign language.
After all, she'll definitely be dealing with the mute servant a lot in the future. When the mute servant communicates with her, he can take care of her and write on the LCD screen.
The problem is, once she learns sign language, her mute servants will surely feel her respect.
These attendants who served the head of the household were all very important!
While she was learning sign language on her phone, the mute servants watched her clumsy gestures with curiosity. But a top student is a top student; she learned basic sign language in just a few tens of minutes, showing amazing progress.
The mute servants were secretly amazed...
She didn't know how much time had passed when Li Kerou suddenly saw the mute servants retreat.
She turned around and was surprised to see Qingchen descending the mountain path.
When Li Kerou saw him come down, she immediately smiled and said, "You were especially amazing tonight."
Qing Chen shook his head: "It's not that I'm amazing, it's that the old man on the mountain is too amazing. I didn't do anything myself."
Li Kerou said with a smile, "After tonight, you will be the brightest new star in the Federation, and your popularity may even surpass that of Chen Yu. By the way, where are you staying tonight? I'll go make up your bed."
Qing Chen: "???"
The first half of this ambitious man's sentence was quite normal, just a straightforward praise, but the second half was not so normal.
Before Qingchen could answer, she continued, "Also, I heard you only started living here tonight, so I'll definitely prepare new towels and bath towels for you. I need to wash them for you, otherwise there will be lint on them, which is bad for your health and respiratory system."
To be honest, Qing Chen was truly amazed.
This ambitious man promised to assist him, and he truly did so in every aspect, from career to life.
A top student from a prestigious public university, the daughter of a highly educated family, was actually willing to lower herself to make his bed, fold his blankets, wash his towels, and even take care of Yangyang during her postpartum period...
That's amazing.
Moreover, the old man mentioned tonight that he wants Li Kerou to be his secretary.
This shows that the girl truly caught the old man's eye.
Qingchen looked at the girl in the night wind, pondered for a moment, and said, "Be a good secretary, but from the beginning you should define yourself as a 'confidential secretary,' not a 'personal secretary.' You need to learn to handle all kinds of complicated matters, not to handle me. When you do well, you can be transferred to manage projects. One day you will be able to stand on your own, and then you won't have to live for anyone else; you can live for yourself."
Qing Chen left, leaving Li Kerou standing alone in the same spot.
Looking at Qingchen's retreating figure, she realized that he had finally given her a chance, but in doing so, he had also pushed her away.
However, the future that Qingchen described made her somewhat tempted.
"Can one succeed without relying on anyone?" Li Kerou pondered.
After thinking for a moment, she actually lifted her leg and followed Qingchen, saying, "That won't stop me from making your bed."
Qing Chen: "...Talented person."
The countdown has reached zero.

The world was plunged into darkness.

The world is bright again.
Countdown 168:00:00.
domestic.
At the foot of the north slope of Mount Everest, climbers who planned to summit from the north side set up colorful tents.
The starting points for climbing Mount Everest are divided into the south slope and the north slope. The south slope, located in Nepal, is more commercialized and easier to climb, while the north slope is less commercialized and more difficult to climb.
However, during this season, both sides attract a large number of hikers, forming a unique business chain.
It was already late at night when several dilapidated pickup trucks drove into the camp. Several men wearing Tibetan fur coats jumped out and unloaded supplies into the camp.
This is a patrol team in the uninhabited area at the foot of the mountain. Originally a team dedicated to fighting poaching, they have also started a transportation business as summer approaches.
The patrol team in the no-man's-land is supported by a salary, but the salary is meager, so they always have to find some extra money to make ends meet.
Those who come to climb the mountain are all wealthy people. As long as you can transport supplies up the mountain, you can easily earn tens of yuan per bag of potato chips, a bag of rice crackers, or a bottle of cola. If you can set up a hot pot table for them here, it's not surprising to earn several thousand yuan.
Upon seeing the patrol team, the leader of a mountaineering and adventure company immediately greeted a middle-aged man with a smile: "Basang, you've finally arrived! I was worried that if you hadn't come, the camp would have run out of supplies."
A middle-aged man named Basang said sincerely, "We encountered heavy snow on the way and had to take a long detour to get here. But we're leaving soon. We didn't see any antelopes on the way, so they've probably been poached. I've asked other people in town to send you supplies, so it won't delay your climb."
The team leader was taken aback: "Have the poachers sneaked in again?"
“Yes,” Basang nodded, “They follow the migration of the antelopes, so we have to follow them. With the herders covering them, it will take us a while to find them. Enough said, we’ll leave after we unload. By the way, do you have any extra diesel fuel in your convoy? Could you spare us two barrels? The people in town will bring you new supplies later.”
The team leader quickly replied, "Yes, we'll go and carry it for you right away."
However, at that moment, they suddenly heard a strange sound.
An experienced person exclaimed softly, "Why does that sound like skis rubbing against the snow? The sound is coming from the top of the north slope."
The team leader shook his head: "Who would come here to ski? That's too much of a death wish."
But as soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look and saw a white figure rushing down a snowboard and entering the camp at an extremely fast speed.
The team leader stared blankly, then slowly looked up at the distant roof of the world: "Did this thing slide down from Mount Everest?!"
Chapter 782, A Max-Level Character in the Starting Village
At the North Slope campsite, many people were stunned to see someone skiing down the slope.
Most people here are lucky if they can even adapt to altitude sickness; just surviving is everyone's goal.
However, just when everyone was struggling to survive, someone suddenly came skiing down the mountain...
The patrolmen next to Basang exclaimed, "Amazing!"
However, Lao Zhou was a little angry: "It's those extreme sports enthusiasts again!"
Over the years, the people who have gathered here include not only mountain climbers, but also skiers who enjoy extreme sports.
Many skiers are no longer satisfied with the powder snow in the Alps and Hokkaido; it's not exciting enough.
They began to challenge even more extreme things.
Especially after Andrzej Bajrzdl of the Polish winter climbing expedition skied down from the K2 point on Mount Everest, he ignited the skiing passion of countless extreme sports enthusiasts.
Ignoring the warnings of various mountaineering teams, they secretly went up the mountain and then jumped off.
And they regard this behavior as their highest honor.
In recent years, more skiers have died than mountain climbers.
The problem is that while they enjoy themselves, the mountaineering and expedition teams suffer. If a team has a fatal accident while entering the mountains this year, they will have to pay more deposits the following year and their qualifications will be re-examined.
Therefore, although everyone admires their reckless spirit, this kind of behavior must be stopped!
Team leader Lao Zhou, wearing a down jacket, awkwardly rushed towards the skiers.
Basang, who was on patrol, asked curiously, "Old Zhou, did this one come from your camp?"
“It’s not from our camp. We have people specifically watching over it; no one is allowed to go skiing up the mountain without permission,” Old Zhou shook his head. “But there’s another camp next door; maybe it’s from their camp. It’s so irresponsible of them to not even keep an eye on their people. How did he manage to bring his skis up here?!”
At this moment, Qingchen was taking off his bindings and skis at the edge of the camp. He looked back at the mountain and saw that Mount Everest was shrouded in dark clouds.
Seven days ago, he killed Arthur and Li Yunze up there. Seven days later, Qingchen originally planned to have Yangyang take him away, but as soon as Yangyang returned, she abandoned him and ran away...
At that moment, Qingchen looked up and saw Yangyang smiling as she flew in the sky, blowing him a kiss before continuing to fly away, showing no intention of coming down to pick him up...
"Hey? Don't go!" Qingchen muttered, "If you fly away, how am I going to get back to the mainland!"
There isn't even a bus here. If I want to get back to the mainland, I'll have to travel a long way and take several buses.
Isn't this awkward?!
For a moment, Qingchen felt that this girl was probably retaliating against him for going on a blind date.
Or perhaps, the other party is keeping some agreement with Qin Yiyi?
Just then, Old Zhou's voice came from not far away: "Hey kid, which camp are you from? Didn't we say you're not allowed to ski up the mountain? How did you get up there?!"
Qing Chen turned around and immediately smiled: "I came from the south slope."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lao Zhou and Basang were stunned: "From the south slope?! Who the hell are you trying to fool?!"
Old Zhou was thinking that if what the boy said was true, and the other person had come from skiing on the south side, then the first thing he would have to do was climb Mount Everest.
In the dead of night, someone climbed Mount Everest all alone against a black storm and still managed to ski down alive? They can't even make up a lie!
“You’re so young and you’re not learning anything good. If your parents knew you were risking your life here, they would be so worried!” Old Zhou said.
Looking at their expressions, Qing Chen smiled and said, "What you think doesn't matter. I only have one question: are there any buses back to the mainland?"
As he spoke, he took out two 100-gram gold bars, which were worth more than 80,000 yuan, an extremely expensive amount for the fare.
Old Zhou said irritably, "I'm annoyed by rich kids like you who think you can do whatever you want just because you have money. Does having money mean you can go skiing in the mountains? Didn't your team leader warn you? Didn't that mountaineering company next door charge you a lot of money? Isn't this ripping off all the mountaineering teams?"
However, Basang didn't care what Lao Zhou was saying at all; all he could see were those two gold bars!
This guy's a big spender!
Basang said, "We're going back to RKZ, you can hitch a ride with us."
Qing Chen pondered, "RKZ has a Peace Airport; I could fly away from there: 'Okay!'"
At this point, Basang cautiously probed, "However, we have to take a detour. On the way back to RKZ, we need to drive away a group of poachers, which will probably take five or six days."
Qing Chen asked, "Are there any other cars?"
Basang became anxious: "Actually, if you wait here, the next batch of supplies won't arrive for another seven days. So even if we take a detour, you can still arrive in RKZ a day earlier. So coming with us is definitely the fastest way."
Basang couldn't help but be anxious; once they earned this money, their patrol team could take out a loan to buy a new pickup truck.
Their vehicles are old and dilapidated, and sometimes they can't even catch up with poachers when they see them.
Those poachers are particularly wealthy. When they return to the mainland, they carry sacks full of money and spend it lavishly.
