Chapter 591 A Fashion Show Would Also Do

A few days later, the Lunar New Year arrived. Chai Hua, the butler, had been extremely busy for the past three days preparing for the festival in Commoner Residence.

Since wealthy families enjoyed feasts all the time, there was no need for them to organize one during the new year. Therefore, their focus was on entertaining guests and relatives who visited. As the Lunar New Year approached, many well-wishers would give them a call.

There was a limit to Nan Zhengde’s stamina, so Chai Hua was responsible for screening the calls. He would deal with some of them directly while those prominent figures such as the general from the capital would require Nan Zhengde’s personal attention.

Other than phone calls, many others would visit bearing gifts.

The guests comprised those from political and business circles. Some came asking for help, whereas others used the opportunity to cement their relationship after having received help.

Even such guests had to be filtered.

Obviously, the Nan family wasn’t short of anything at all. The only reason gifts were accepted was out of courtesy. Situations where the gifts were rejected would either be because the courtesy wasn’t deserved or if the Nan family weren’t willing to help with whatever was requested.

On top of that, protocol dictated that they would also have to give a gift in return for receiving one. Furthermore, the gifts couldn’t all be the same. Instead, they had to commensurate with the status of the person receiving them.

Despite the complex process, one couldn’t possibly ask Nan Zhengde about everything. Chai Hua was responsible for making decisions and the butler couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.

Given how challenging the task was and the fact that one needed to have an in-depth understanding of everyone in Flower City, the role of the Nan family butler was similar to that of senior management in a large company. Ordinary folk were simply not up to it.

Obviously, the Nan family butler’s social status was significantly higher than that of an ordinary butler. To a certain extent, Chai Hua was already part of the family. Wherever he went, he had the authority to represent them.

One day before the Lunar New Year, Chai Hua personally visited the villa in Red Maple City.

He was there to finalize the menu according to the traditions of the Nan family. Those who were attending the Lunar New Year eve’s dinner were to inform him of their two favorite dishes so that the chef could prepare them.

Considering how important the dinner was, everyone would be served their favorite dishes on the table to liven up the atmosphere.

This was a matter that Chai Hua personally handled. In addition to the dishes requested, he would also collate the details of how salty the dishes should be.
