Zhang Yan still had a sullen face and said nothing.
"By the way, you should be polite to the housekeeper next time you see him. He is very dissatisfied with you!" Aunt Zhang added.
Zhang Yan curled her lips with a look of disdain.
"Okay, there is a row of houses at the back of the villa. Those are the servants' rooms. I have reserved the largest one, a single room, for you. You can live there from now on!" said Aunt Zhang.
"No matter how big it is, it's still a servant's room!" Zhang Yan said unconvinced.
Aunt Zhang really didn't know how to talk to her daughter. She sighed and said, "Go back and rest first. I'll talk to you in the evening!" After that, she ignored Zhang Yan and continued to direct the maids to do things.
Zhang Yan glanced at the villa angrily and dragged his suitcase towards the servants' quarters in the back row.
Lan Ziye returned to the villa with Xiaobai in her arms. She immediately saw a dozen maids in maid uniforms standing in two neat rows at the door. They saluted respectfully and said, "Miss Lan!"
Lan Ziye looked at the maid who was about fifty years old and was leading the group, with a confused look on his face.
The maid stepped forward respectfully and introduced herself, "My surname is Zhang. I was assigned from the old mansion to serve the eldest master. The eldest master said he didn't need anyone, so he asked me to come and serve the young lady!"
Lan Ziye curled his lips. He didn't lack people on his side, but she did?
"What about them? Are they also coming from the old house to serve the eldest master?" Lan Ziye asked.
"They were recruited by the housekeeper these past two days. This house is big, and one or two servants are not enough to handle it!" Aunt Zhang said respectfully with a smile on her face.
Lan Ziye turned to look at the two rows of servants. Aunt Zhang immediately understood and walked over to a woman who also looked to be in her forties or fifties. She introduced them, "This is Chef Wang, a national-level chef and the head chef here. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li behind him are both outstanding graduates of the culinary school and help out Chef Wang!"
Three people in the kitchen? Lan Ziye thought about it and felt that it wasn't too many. When she was in the Lan family before, there were more than 300 people in the kitchen. Besides, she sometimes came home late at night, so having her own kitchen was convenient for having a midnight snack.
"Okay, the three of them stay!" Lan Ziye said lightly.
Aunt Zhang continued to introduce them, "This is Ah Zi and Ah Hong. They are graduates of the home economics program and are responsible for the young ladies' food, clothing, housing, and transportation!"
Lan Ziye thought about it for a moment and realized that she really needed one or two capable maids, so she nodded and said, "Okay, they can stay too!"
Aunt Zhang smiled and continued, "These three people are graduates of the landscape architecture program, and they're specifically responsible for the flowers, plants, and trees in the yard."
Lan Ziye nodded.
"The other ten are responsible for cleaning the house and doing miscellaneous chores!" Aunt Zhang added.
"My house is not that big, so I don't need so many people to clean it. Three are enough!" Lan Ziye said, "Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who don't want to stay can leave. I don't want to keep people who just sit around here!" Lan Ziye said lightly.
She lives alone in the house, and sometimes she doesn't come home. Does she need so many people to clean? Do she need to do chores? What chores are there?
"This..." Aunt Zhang was a little embarrassed. Suddenly, she remembered something and said hurriedly, "The housekeeper said that all the servants' wages here will be settled with him. You don't need to pay for it yourself!"
Lan Ziye raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang felt she had hit the nail on the head, feeling smug. After a moment's thought, she added, "Miss, this is what the head of the family ordered! You are the eldest son's fiancée, and the expenses for your room should be paid from the Chu family account!"
