Hearing Ning Yan’s words, Leng ruoxue’s forehead was filled with black lines. She thought to herself,’sister Yan looks like she’s in a good mood!’ He actually learned how to joke. In her heart, although Ning Yan was a carefree and hot-tempered woman, she did not like to joke. Could it be something good? Her face was full of suspicion.
“Sister Yan is actually embarra.s.sed, how rare.” Leng ruoxue gave it some thought and smiled.
“Wretched girl, isn’t it normal to be shy?” Ning Yan glared at him with her bright eyes and growled in anger.
“MMH! It’s normal!” Leng ruoxue coaxed.
“Alright! I’m not joking with you anymore, I’m telling you! This morning, the head Butler’s family had already set off for Biancheng. As for the new head butler! I don’t think it’ll be easy to choose. ” Ning Yan smiled slyly.
“Why not? Didn’t G.o.dfather ask the acting patriarch and the elders to quickly choose a Chief Steward?” Leng ruoxue looked at Ning Yan in confusion, her beautiful face full of question marks.
“Little sister ruoxue! For a top-notch family like ours, it’s not an easy task to choose a chief butler. Too many people are involved, and the chief butler is a lucrative job with many people eyeing it! What’s more, those elders also want their confidants to become the chief butler, which is a good thing for them. So, as far as I know, they discussed it all night last night, but they didn’t come to a conclusion. They finally decided on two candidates, one is our ning family’s second Butler, and the other is the ning family’s direct line. ” Ning Yan explained with a faint smile. She was a woman and it didn’t matter much to her who became the head butler. However, she also hoped that the new head butler would be someone she was satisfied with. Therefore, she had been paying attention to the movements of Ning Yuan and the others.
“Whose trusted aides are these two candidates?” Leng ruoxue immediately understood after hearing Ning Yan’s words. It must be because the various forces of the ning family had not come to an agreement and wanted their own people to become the head butler. The two people who won in the end should be the result of the two strongest forces of the ning family. It seemed that it wasn’t good to have too many family members. There were too many small groups.
“The second housekeeper is on the side of the acting patriarch, and the other direct descendant is on the side of the third elder.” Ning Yan said honestly.
“The elders who supported the second Butler and the ning family’s immediate family each accounted for half. No one was willing to take a step back, so they were in a deadlock. In the end, they decided that the two candidates would each have a trial period of one month. Whoever performed well would be the head butler.” Ning Yan added.
“So, the third elder agreed?” Leng ruoxue asked. This idea seemed good, but third elder seemed to be at a disadvantage.
“He agreed. This idea was suggested by haolan, so even if he had an opinion, he would have to bear with it. Besides, this is considered impartial. As long as that direct descendant of the ning family works hard, he might have a chance. After all, the eyes of the family are clear and father is in charge of the family. No one would dare to play too big of a trick.” Ning Yan said with a smile.
“I wonder who sister Yan wants to be the head butler?” Leng ruoxue suddenly asked.
“Of course I support the promotion of the second Steward. He’s the trusted aide of the acting patriarch, which means he’s also one of haolan’s men. When haolan becomes the patriarch in the future, it’ll save him a lot of trouble. Don’t look at how head butler is a servant of the ning family in name, but managing the food and clothing of such a top family, the profits are very big. ” Ning Yan said honestly.
“That makes sense.” Leng ruoxue nodded slightly. However, she did not think that Sly Fox ning haolan would be willing to use the subst.i.tute Master’s Men. Even if the subst.i.tute master and ning haolan were on the same side, he was still a level away from the second housekeeper. It might not be easy to use him. Moreover, it was better to use his own men than to use someone else ‘s.
“Sister ruoxue, the trial for the two subst.i.tute butlers will begin today. The first one will be the direct descendant of the ning family. However, the second housekeeper will still have to act as his second housekeeper and a.s.sist the subst.i.tute Butler. Do you think they will start fighting if they don’t agree?” Ning Yan was very curious, and her bright eyes flashed with excitement.
Leng ruoxue was speechless after hearing what Ning Yan said. Did Ning Yan think she was too free? He actually wanted to watch them fight. However, the subst.i.tute Butler who was on probation today would definitely not be successful.
“Sister Yan, what did that direct descendant of the ning family do in the past?” Leng ruoxue could not help but ask.
“I don’t know. Although he’s a direct descendant of the ning family, he’s almost never stayed in the main residence. No one knows about his past either. He’s a rather mysterious person.” Ning Yan said after some thought.
“Uh! Why didn’t the ning family first understand the other party’s experience before choosing a head butler?” Leng ruoxue said as she wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
“That’s the person recommended by the third elder. Ning Yuan and the others should know about him, right? Don’t worry! The third elder wouldn’t dare to joke about this. ” Ning Yan said disapprovingly.
Leng ruoxue did not know what to say when she saw Ning Yan’s relaxed expression. It was fine if she was a petty person. If third elder had the intention of betraying her and arranged for someone of unknown origin to take such an important position, it would be a huge blow to the ning family. Of course, this was just her a.s.sumption. However, if everyone in the ning family was as muddled as Ning Yan, the ning family would be swallowed up sooner or later. Sigh!
“Sister Yan, I think it should be announced first whether the acting Master and the others know or not. At least, we should let the ning family know that the head butler of the ning family is not an embroidered pillow, and he did not get his position through nepotism. This will also be beneficial for the head Butler’s future work. Otherwise, how many people will believe him?” Leng ruoxue said in a serious tone.
“Sister ruoxue, you’re so thoughtful. I’ll mention it to Ning Yuan when I have the chance.” Ning Yan said after some thought.
“Yes, sister Yan, the compet.i.tion has started. Let’s go and watch the compet.i.tion!” Leng ruoxue said to Ning Yan when she saw that the battle in the middle of the stage had already started.
“Alright!” Ning Yan turned around and returned to her seat.
After Leng ruoxue returned to her seat, first elder sneakily approached her.
“Little girl, what have you been doing? The compet.i.tion has already started. ” The great elder’s face was filled with curiosity, and his eyes kept blinking.
“Great elder, you’re already so old, yet you’re still trying to act cute like others!” Leng ruoxue looked at first elder’s bright and watery eyes as she chuckled and teased.
“Wretched girl, you can’t bully people like this, hehe! I just want to know what you’re doing!” The great elder laughed slyly, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
“Nothing much, I was just casually chatting with sister Yan.” Leng ruoxue laughed.
“What did you guys talk about?” The great elder asked.
“We talked about some … Women’s secrets.” Leng ruoxue paused on purpose before continuing.
“Tsk! I thought you were discussing how to deal with the second elder!” The first elder said with some disappointment.
