Chapter 637: Personal Maid
On this day, Sakai Rie departed from her home in a black Maybach and drove to Keio University’s main campus in Minato Ward. She was there for no other reason than specifically to pick up her own sister, Sakai Mirei.
Accompanying Rie Sakai was a high-class private driver recommended and vouched for by the Mizuhara family and her personal maid.
Prior to this, Sakai Mirei had received a call from her sister and instead of refusing, she had heartily enjoyed this kind of high society social event.
Though Uniqlo was a popular company, the people who were invited to the spring press conference were all prominent figures in Tokyo, not just ordinary people.
Naturally, there was a runway show with models and a reception. Gifts, shopping cards and whatnot, she didn’t really care. It was this tone of being on top of the world that she loved the most deep down.
Sakai Rie followed her sister’s request and had the car drive directly into Keio University’s main campus adjacent to the Tokyo Tower and parked in front of the building that Sakai Mirei had said was the academic building.
She arrived at the place ahead of time but didn’t get out of the car, sitting in the backseat of the car with her own cell phone in both hands and sending Sakai Mirei a text message indicating that she had arrived.
A few moments later, Sakai Mirei sent her a text back, knowing. Rie Sakai waited patiently for her own sister to get out of class and proceeded to get in the car.
She looked sideways out the window at the corner of the campus scenery, and said with sudden emotion, “It’s still the best to study at the university that one time.”
The personal maid sitting on top of the co-pilot turned around and smiled as she answered, “Ma’am, you look younger, more energetic, and prettier than some of these female college students in school.”
Sakai Rie smiled a little and said, “That’s because I take exceptionally good care of myself.”
“Your Ladyship belongs to the category of natural beauty. Even if you don’t do any maintenance, it’s still far beyond the reach of an ordinary girl like me.” The personal maid showed a serious look and said.
“Once the Kishimoto family’s mansion in Shinagawa district is completely built, I’ll make you the head maid.” Sakai Rie said casually.
The smile on the personal maid’s face grew wider and wider as she said, “I still want to keep learning things by your wife’s side!”
“What, you can’t even look at the head maid, so you want to be a butler?” Sakai Rie asked with a smile.
It wasn’t like the personal maid didn’t understand that a butler wasn’t something that just anyone could do. A person who worked as a butler for a zaibatsu was not only the master’s beloved, but also had to have the necessary specialized skills.
Not only do they have to manage and supervise the maids, cooks, drivers, and gardeners in the house, but they also have to be responsible for buying daily necessities and keeping the books. ……
When the master hosted a reception at his home, the invitees were bound to be rich and famous. As a housekeeper is a master’s face, how to arrange, how to speak, how to treat people and so on are extremely delicate.
“No matter. I’m a person who doesn’t have any big ambitions, as long as I can follow you around in my life, I’ll be satisfied.”
Although the personal maid was yearning for a better future and position within her heart, she knew better than to guard her own acreage.
In her opinion, she was able to stand out from the existing maids, relying on her Mistress’s little appreciation of the individual.
She did not fail to understand that her current position as a personal maid was not only not secure, but that she was still thinking of how to pull herself down.
The advantages were not only in the higher salary, but mainly in the benefits. The personal maid can follow the hostess in and out of countless high-grade places, all kinds of high society social occasions ……
An individual’s eyesight would then be able to see great sights that most people would never see in their lifetime. The gifts given to the mistress by others will not be bad, but only good.
The hostess didn’t want to keep it for her own use, so she would give it to herself first. She remembered very clearly when that one guest who had traveled all the way from Kyoto had sent a whole bunch of high-class tonics to the Kishimoto household.
Every single thing was expensive. Some of them, not to mention eating them, they had never even seen. The mistress of the house directly let the maids of the house take them and share them.
For this reason, the cook and gardener in the house were still bossy and dissatisfied for quite a while. They didn’t dare to say anything bad about their mistress, but they vented their dissatisfaction on the maids.
In the end, among the maids, there were some who could not bear to eat, either they took it to sell it for cash in private, or they mailed it back to their parents at home.
After all, if something is good or not, you can check the price on the internet and you will know. Or, take it out and ask to know the price geometry.
They don’t eat it, but make it a kind of display at home, saying that it’s their daughter’s expensive tonic.
Then, their daughter in Tokyo, how well, how much money, the hostess and how much they love their own clever daughter ……
This is the same as the living room of an ordinary Chinese family with Wuliangye and Maotai on top of the liquor cabinet. It is also the same as the parents of ordinary Chinese families always like to tell their friends, relatives and neighbors how their children are valued by their unit leaders or bosses.
“Do you know why I asked you to be my personal maid?” Rie Sakai asked with a sense of purpose.
The personal maid shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”
“Because you, for one, have no ambition.” Rie Sakai hit the nail on the head.
“You’re just saying that I have no ambition, aren’t you! It’s okay to have no motivation, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it. When I was growing up, the people in my family didn’t miss the fact that I, a person with no ambition, would mean that I wouldn’t be able to achieve anything or act in the future.” The personal maid was surprised.
Sakai Rie could never arrange for an ambitious maid to become her personal maid. In that case, wouldn’t she be like a thief? Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about her.
If others covet her things all day long, she can still be tolerated to a certain extent. This if coveted her man is zero tolerance attitude.
“Those who have the ambition, have the motivation, not everyone has the work and success! The vast majority of these 99.99% are still not doing nothing for the rest of their lives.
When I was a kid, my dream was to become a musician, but I never thought I would end up as a full-time wife.
What is yours is yours. If it’s not yours, it’s useless to force it. Even if you gain it briefly, you will eventually lose it.” Sakai Rie smiled meaningfully and said.
The personal maid nodded her head vigorously and said, “My grandmother said to me that there is a set amount of how much one eats and how much one uses. What doesn’t belong to you, then don’t take it. That if you take it, you will have a short life.”
