"what happened?"

Seeing her eat, and then start to sigh softly, Lu Nanting thought that they had changed the housekeeper and the food was not to her liking.

Gu Lanxi then quietly told him her concerns.

It turned out that he was worried that Aunt Wang wouldn't be able to integrate into the new team, which made Lu Nanting chuckle:

"Don't worry! The aunties are all experienced and would never do anything to embarrass the host family."

In wealthy families, conflicts between domestic workers can easily lead to both losing their jobs.

After all, wealthy people hire people to make things easier for themselves, not to make things worse.

It's better to replace them all than to have your subordinates fighting like chickens.

The elite social circle is very small. If you get fired for this, it won't be easy to find a job with similar pay.

Aunt Xiao and the others didn't know Gu Lanxi's temperament yet, so they only treated Aunt Wang well and helped her quickly find her place in the family.

Ultimately, for the Lu family, hiring another nanny is completely insignificant. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to work together to serve the family well and earn their wages happily?
Gu Lanxi's worries were completely unfounded.

"What will Aunt Wang do in the future?"

Gu Lanxi has always advocated streamlining administration and despised wasting personnel, while Lu Nanting cares more about his quality of life.

Hearing her say that, Lu Nanting couldn't help but sigh and patiently comforted her:

"Honey, they all need to take leave! Generally speaking, at least two teams are needed for the same position, especially for important positions like bodyguards, where three teams are needed to work in three shifts. Otherwise, if the employees are on leave, are we supposed to do all the housework ourselves? Doing it occasionally is a nice touch, but doing it all the time just creates so much trouble!"

"Such a big house, only five housekeepers to keep it running, that's already very streamlined, really!"

"So Aunt Wang can continue working in the kitchen. When you go to the film set, she'll go with you, and when you're at home, she can take care of your meals. Although Aunt Xiao can cook everything, she's not as skilled in Cantonese cuisine as Aunt Wang."

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "It's such a waste to hire two chefs for just the two of us..."

Even if they're both at home, how much can they eat for three meals a day?

Besides, they're not home most of the time.

They work hard outside, while their aunt stays home enjoying the air conditioning and watching TV.

Luckily, they didn't have a cat, otherwise the aunt could have petted one too.

This salary is way too easy to earn.

Lu Nanting had personally witnessed her eating with her mother, and afterwards, they would take out a tissue, tear it in half, and each wipe their mouth with one half. Knowing this was her personality, he thought for a moment and gave her an example:

“My second brother’s family has three members, each with their own taste, so they hired three chefs.”

With improved quality of life and significantly increased happiness, the personnel expenses are negligible.

Okay, Gu Lanxi understood immediately.

Her husband prefers Aunt Xiao's cooking, but she doesn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

In addition, the aunties do need to take a vacation.

She used to be able to manage on her own when Aunt Wang was on vacation, but now that she has a family and guests come over occasionally, one chef is simply not enough.

Suddenly feeling relieved, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but joke with him: "There's nothing I can do, it's my first time marrying into a wealthy family, I have no experience."

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh.

"Then I'll transfer you more money every month. As you spend more, you'll naturally gain more experience."

"I don't spend it because I don't have it."

Gu Lanxi rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Of course, we should save on those unnecessary expenses, otherwise I'll feel like I'm being ripped off."

It's common for wealthy socialites in the entertainment circle to spend millions of dollars a year on living expenses, not counting large expenditures such as buying cars, houses, jewelry, and their children's education.

He transfers 500,000 yuan to Gu Lanxi every month, and she has said several times that it's too much and she feels she can't spend it all.

At this point, Lu Nanting suddenly felt that it was necessary for the two of them to have an in-depth discussion about their views on consumption.

Otherwise, it would be bad if we accidentally stepped on each other's sore spots.

"What kinds of expenses do you think are unnecessary? I think we need to have a serious talk about this, otherwise you'll definitely call me an idiot behind my back."

Gu Lanxi put down her spoon and couldn't help but poke him: "When did I ever badmouth you behind your back?"

"Okay, that's not the point. Don't avoid the topic."

Gu Lanxi didn't really want to talk about it.

Because they grew up in completely different environments, their consumption habits are naturally different as well, and she was afraid that they would argue if they talked about it.

So she cleverly changed the subject:

"Would you feel ashamed if I were particularly frugal in certain ways?"

Lu Nanting thought for a moment, realizing that his wife was only frugal in certain areas, but never hesitated to spend when necessary, and said quite frankly, "That's not true. Being frugal and stingy are two different things. You always spend when you should and save when you should, living a rational and clear-headed life, which is your strength."

"I won't think you're living too extravagantly just because you bought something you like that doesn't quite align with my values. So, you spend your money, and I'll save mine; there's absolutely no conflict."

Anyway, the two signed a prenuptial agreement, and each person manages their own personal property. It's his freedom to spend it however he wants.

Lu Nanting felt inexplicably stifled, but he had to admit that what she said made a lot of sense.

The two of them will be separated for a while tomorrow, so they mustn't argue today.

It's not a big deal whether it's left or right.

Lu Nanting nodded and picked up a piece of bok choy for her.

"Eat up, we have to get up early tomorrow."

While the couple was eating, a silver-gray BMW pulled up in front of Oriental No. 1.

Aunt Wang was leaving tomorrow morning, so she decided to cut her vacation short and drive to her employer's new home.

I just moved and the house is a mess, so I definitely need help tidying it up. If I don't try to impress my employer at this time, when will I ever have the chance to work hard?

She's not a fool.

The reason she arrived late was simply to put on airs and make her employer realize just how important she was.

This point is brilliant.

She doesn't fawn over her employer, and she can quickly tidy up the house before going to bed, making her seem capable and sensible.

That's really excellent.

The property management staff came to the door in the afternoon and kindly recorded the access control information for Gu Lanxi and the other four aunties. Aunt Wang wasn't there, so she couldn't get in and could only call Gu Lanxi.

Gu Lanxi received a call and spoke to the security department. Aunt Wang took out her ID card, carefully registered her personal information, and immediately someone led her in.

The underground parking garage was huge, and Aunt Wang felt a little unaccustomed to parking her car.

Before even entering the house, I saw several stacks of used cardboard boxes piled up in a corner of the underground garage.

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, she rang the doorbell. Old Xiao, who was drying his hair, opened the door with a smile. Seeing that it was her, he immediately reached out and took her suitcase.

"Sister Wang, right? Hello, hello. I'm Lao Xiao, the chef who was just transferred from the old house. If there's anything you'd like to eat in the future, please let me know."

After cooking, covered in cooking fumes, she would usually take a shower before appearing in front of her employer.

She looks refreshed now, and her smile reveals a pair of sweet dimples, making her incredibly approachable.

Aunt Wang felt a chill run down her spine.

Listen and listen.

It was transferred from the old house.

She can cook any dish.

This means that her job in the kitchen is about to be in jeopardy!
Besides cooking, she is good at taking care of children. However, when this employer signed the contract with her, she had just turned 18. Even now, after getting married, she is only 22 years old. How long will she have to wait for her little boss to be born?
Even if she waits until the baby is born, she won't have taken care of a baby for several years, and she still won't be able to compete with a senior nanny...

Families like these would definitely be extremely selective in choosing a nanny.

All I can rely on now is my relationship with my employer.

But Gu Lanxi was extremely reserved and rarely expressed her preferences, so she wasn't sure how much she actually felt for him.

Even in the sweltering summer heat, I was sweating profusely.

Juan Wang was tricked when buying bananas, but he didn't say a word.
I was scammed when I bought Ehime oranges on Pinduoduo. He was furious, went to the seller and gave them a piece of his mind, demanding a refund.

The merchant refused, but I said forget it, it's only a few dozen yuan, don't waste time, I'll earn it back in a bit.

He was mean to me, so I just asked for a refund and smoothed things over.

The platform refunded the order immediately, and the seller argued with me, saying that they definitely sold Ehime products and that they had certificates.

I said, "Do you know why the platform knew I was dissatisfied and gave me a refund right away?"
Because I place thousands of orders every year, never argue with anyone, and never give anyone a bad review, I am an excellent customer. Your oranges are really not the right variety.

Then the seller started complaining to me about how bad the weather was this year, blah blah blah, and how they specially picked out a large one to ship to me, blah blah blah.

Left with no other choice, I told him that ever since Ehime was officially launched, my family and others have been buying hundreds of kilograms of it every year. This variety is really wrong. You should stop selling it randomly and you're embarrassing us Sichuan people.

The other end stopped replying to me.

Ugh, I'm already so miserable that I bought a fake, and instead of comforting me, you yell at me.

Indeed, jelly orange is the real love.
