Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shi He’s matter came to an end for the time being. Shi Man finally had the time to see the manor Yi Zheng had bought.
It was unknown if Yi Zheng did it on purpose or not, but this manor was very close to the Shi family. Shi Man drove personally and arrived not long after.
When she confirmed the location from the map, Shi Man realized that this manor was especially large. When she arrived and saw that the area in front of her was as big as two ordinary manors, she could not help but exclaim even though she was mentally prepared.
The butler in charge of guarding the manor had long received the news and was waiting at the door. When he saw Shi Man, his eyes were filled with a respectful smile. “Madam, my name is Li Yuan. You can call me Old Li. I’ll show you around this manor today. If you have any suggestions and are dissatisfied, you can tell me. I’ll immediately instruct someone to change it according to your wishes.”
“Alright.” Shi Man slowly followed him into the manor and realized that there was something else inside.
The interior design was European style. All kinds of furniture were arranged neatly, looking as magnificent as an ancient palace left behind in Europe.
The butler whispered beside Shi Man, “This is the furniture left behind in the past. CEO Yi said that Madam has the final say in everything. If you want a style, we’ll get the renovation team to tear it down and renovate it. The furniture will also be changed to your favorite style.”
“Well…” Shi Man nodded and sized up her surroundings. She shrugged helplessly and said, “Actually, I think this is good. 1 don’t have much desire for houses. It’s fine as long as I can stay in it.”
The butler chuckled and echoed, “Yes, yes, yes. However, this is your matrimonial home with CEO Yi after all. CEO Yi means that if you’re unwilling to touch the general style, you still have to change the furnishings in these rooms.”
“Oh.” Shi Man smiled in understanding. “There’s indeed no such thing as using old furniture in the matrimonial home. Since you want to remodel it, why don’t you change it all? Can you custom-make a set of antique furniture for me?”
The butler was stunned for a moment. He roughly estimated the length of the project in his heart and nodded respectfully. “Of course. Tomorrow, I’ll hire the best designer to design it for you personally. CEO Yi said that he can satisfy whatever you want.”
This manor was indeed wide enough. Shi Man followed the butler for a long time, but she still could not finish walking around the small garden at the back. She simply stopped.
The butler guessed that she was tired and hurriedly instructed the servant at the side to bring a comfortable recliner over. He placed it in the pavilion in the middle of the garden. The sun was shining there, and the breeze was neither hot nor cold. It was very suitable for resting here in the summer.
Shi Man did not refuse. She sat on it and slowly took a sip of tea before pointing at the flowers and plants around her. “1 don’t like a park filled with flowers. Can you cut out two ponds? Put a wooden bridge on them.”
The butler immediately noted down Shi Man’s words and prepared to do it later.
Seeing that she was almost done exploring the manor, he carefully continued to ask, “Madam, do you have any other requests? I’ll record them in my notebook and get someone to change them.”
Shi Man thought for a moment and looked up slightly as if she was recalling something. Then, she said two more pages of requests before stopping. She looked at the butler’s sweating face in amusement. “Why? Is it very difficult?” “It’s not difficult!” The butler quickly denied it. How could he dare to say that the completion date of the manor would probably be delayed again and again if he followed Shi Man’s request? The wedding date of the two of them would probably be far away.
However, thinking about it was one thing. The protagonist of the marriage was not in a hurry, so there was no need for him to be anxious. He just had to carefully do his own thing.
Shi Man stood up in satisfaction. The images of her previous life kept flashing through her mind, and a warm feeling surged into her heart.
The suggestion she had made just now was to make the manor look like her former aristocratic family. Since Yi Zheng did whatever she said, there was naturally no need for her to be polite to him.
The butler’s estimation was indeed right. When summer came, this manor would only be 30% completed.
This day was the senior graduation ceremony, and it was also the day Shi Man officially attended the academy’s large-scale event as the president of the Student Union.
At the ceremony, Shi Mu was so excited that his hands trembled as he put the President’s unique brooch on Shi Man in public.
From now on, Shi Man would become the student representative and lead the Student Union and teachers to govern Cassel Academy with Gu Fan.
Su Tang naturally followed in Shi Man’s footsteps and took on the position of Secretary in the Student Union to assist Shi Man in handling the various matters of the school.
Bai Xue was not keen on joining the Student Union, but since her two good friends had already joined, she felt lonely alone. Moreover, Shi Mu had been pestering her the day before, so she agreed to take on an idle position in the Student Union.
After the ceremony, the students retreated wherever Shi Man went. With Gu Yue as a lesson, no one in Cassel Academy dared to provoke Shi Man..
