When Louise and Housekeeper Eugene drove back to the Eastern Castle, Ye Qiu had already learned the auction price of the painting. It was far beyond his expectations.

In fact, with this amount of money, even if he did nothing, he might not be able to spend it all just eating and drinking in Huaxia for a lifetime.

However, Ye Qiu also knew that if he wanted to do something big, this money would just be a starting fund.

By the time Louise and Housekeeper Eugene returned, it was already late at night. Ye Qiu was in his room cultivating when Louise came in and hugged him tightly.

It can be said that when a woman entrusts something most important to a man, she becomes more dependent on him in every aspect.

Now, Louise was just like that.

"Qiu, I want more."

The next morning, after the two got up, Louise, rejuvenated, appeared even more charming.

However, she no longer felt any pain.

It can be said that she was very satisfied with Ye Qiu, in every respect.

After the two washed up, they went downstairs, and Liu Lingxiu had also woken up.

During morning tea, Louise asked, "Qiu, what do you plan to do with that money?"

The money from the pharmaceutical company was invested by the Louise brand, and now there are tens of billions of euros more, it can’t just sit in the bank.

"I plan to establish an investment group in Europe."

Ye Qiu had already set up investment groups in Hong Kong and the East Sea on the mainland.

He was clear that the return from angel investment was very high, especially in the internet industry, from initial investment to listing might only take two or three years, but the returns could exceed tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Moreover, the investment environment here in Europe is much better than in Huaxia. The companies here are good, and as long as you have vision to select good investment projects, those tens of billions of euros should grow to several hundreds of billions or even over a thousand billion euros in not too long.

"Qiu, will you still let me be in charge? I’m afraid I can’t manage it."

Louise was already in charge of the Louise clothing brand, Prince Perfume, and the pharmaceutical company, and now there is this investment group.

"You should hire talent to manage it, and the Mediterranean Group will also venture into high-end jewelry."

Ye Qiu certainly understood that even if Louise had extraordinary abilities, she might not manage it all, but in Europe, one could hire very competent professional managers and senior management personnel.

"Then I’ll just take a titular role, and let the professionals handle the other matters."

"Then I’ll prepare to fly back to Jinling this afternoon or tomorrow."

"So soon? I already can’t bear it." Louise was indeed starting to savor the taste of the marrow.

She was reluctant for Ye Qiu to leave so soon.

"It’s not as if I won’t return."

However, this time Ye Qiu thought that he might fly back again to inspect once the pharmaceutical company achieved some results.

Louise could only gaze enviously at Liu Lingxiu, knowing that Liu Lingxiu could accompany Ye Qiu every day.

At lunchtime, Housekeeper Eugene instructed the Chinese couple there to prepare a lavish lunch, also to celebrate Ye Qiu’s retrieval and high-value auction of the painting.

"Young Master Ye, after you return to your country, I would like to go to London to study for a while."

"Study what?"

"The knowledge of managing a household."

In fact, during this period, he was preparing to fly to London to study, and then return when the vines could be harvested.

Because he now began to realize Ye Qiu’s prowess, if he remained as he was, the gap would widen, and perhaps another housekeeper would eventually have to be brought in to handle matters at the Eastern Castle.

"That’s fine. Everyone must learn to grow. And of course, when you go to London, you can find some Chinese servants there as well. I prefer Chinese servants."

Compared to France and Germany, there are more Chinese overseas in that vicinity, and many in London’s Chinatown, so Housekeeper Eugene was certain it would be easier to find suitable people there than in France.

"Young Master Ye, understood."

"How is that servant’s matter handled?"

"He was cremated at the crematorium, and his ashes are still there."

"His family is gone, and since there would be no one to pay respects later, it would be better off having his ashes scattered into the sea."

For Westerners, scattering ashes at sea is very normal, it’s a type of sea burial, and many prominent figures are handled this way after passing.

"Young Master Ye, I know how to handle it."

"That’s good, when you go to study in London, leave the management here to that Chinese couple. I trust their ability and loyalty."

After arranging with Housekeeper Eugene, they returned upstairs in the afternoon.

Liu Lingxiu usually took a nap in the afternoon; however, Louise seldom rested in the afternoon. Seeing Liu Lingxiu resting now, she quickly went to find Ye Qiu.

Because Ye Qiu was returning home the next day, she didn’t know when she would see him next. She wasn’t about to just fly over to Jinling to find him.

"Qiu, I want more."

It seems Louise really can’t get enough.

...

At around eight in the evening, the two bathed together, then went for a walk outside the villa. At that time, it was just him and Louise, as Liu Lingxiu was still resting upstairs.

After Liu Lingxiu came downstairs, the three of them had dinner together.

Then, around ten, Louise quietly went from her room to Ye Qiu’s, and when Liu Lingxiu awoke in the middle of the night to find Louise not there, she knew where Louise had gone.

Knowing that Ye Qiu would depart the next day, Liu Lingxiu didn’t dwell on it any further.

The next morning, after being satisfied, Louise, feeling enriched, possessed an indescribable young noblewoman charm.

Ye Qiu and Louise got up, washed, dressed, and came downstairs. While having breakfast, he asked Louise to book two first-class tickets for him and Liu Lingxiu for their direct flight back to the East Sea.

After Louise bought the afternoon plane tickets, they finished their morning tea. Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu packed their belongings, and Liu Lingxiu took the painting Ye Qiu had gifted her. They got into Louise’s BMW and drove towards Paris International Airport.

They arrived at Paris International Airport around eleven in the morning.

"Qiu, your flight is at three in the afternoon, do you want to buy something to take back?"

Buy what?

Everything available here is available in the East Sea, and paying customs duty would be troublesome. Besides, French specialties like red wine and perfume are already well-known, and Ye Qiu had them all, whether it was Viscount Red Wine or Prince Perfume, both were among the world’s best, so Ye Qiu was not interested in buying more.

"Louise, they have everything in the East Sea, there’s no need to buy." Plus, Ye Qiu knew that these young ladies weren’t really concerned with jewelry.
