A wealthy family with a hundred years of history, a distinguished clan with a thousand.
The Zhang family may not have a thousand years behind it, but it has thrived for centuries and amassed a fortune worth hundreds of billions.
Its leader, Zhang Zhili, has immense influence. His wives live in harmony, and all thirty-odd of his children and grandchildren are exceptional, making the family a model of the top elite in Fubu City.
But old age has made him senile, and he suddenly hires a female driver with an annual salary of over ten million.
Zhou Nan transmigrated into an apocalypse and made a name for herself as the Lone Wolf over ten years, thanks to her ruthless competence.
Life on the edge was thrilling, but far from ideal for someone who wanted to retire.
She seized an opportunity to return to her own time, and accidentally saved Zhang Zhili, the head of a top wealthy family.
The Zhang family was powerful and large, and they hadn't split into separate households. The heirs were fighting so fiercely for the succession that they even tried to kill Zhang Zhili, allowing Zhou Nan to strike a very good deal.
Zhang Zhili offered her a cash reward of over a hundred million yuan.
Zhou Nan decisively turned it down. After all, a steady income year after year was better than a one-time payday.
She wasn't greedy, asking for just twenty million a year.
As for the reason, she didn't want to take money without a proper explanation and make the Zhang family's accountant's job harder, so she signed a lifetime employment contract instead.
Even a max-level expert could be a layabout when it came to securing her retirement benefits.
Zhou Nan ate, drank, and had fun at the Zhang residence. Life was pretty wonderful.
Now and then, she'd offer her opinion: the First Madam was virtuous, the Fourth Madam was a peerless beauty, the young masters were handsome, the young ladies were talented. The whole house was full of devoted children and grandchildren.
Zhang Zhili asked her: Who's the real culprit?
Zhou Nan answered coldly: If the entire Zhang family were killed, you included, not one of them would be wronged.
Zhang Zhili said through gritted teeth: Nine dogs make one mastiff. If one of them can endure long enough to kill me, the Zhang family might last another few centuries.
But a beast needs a leash, and a king must know reverence.
Zhang Zhili added a line to his will: Anyone who disrespects Zhou Nan will be disqualified from inheriting the family.
To Zhou Nan, it didn't matter who led the Zhang family. Paying her retirement benefits in full and on time was the greatest sign of respect.
Young masters and young ladies, work hard and make money!
