Chapter 536 - 477 Late Night Visitor_2
Being a butler is not a job for just anyone.
Wu Hai had served as the butler in the Yang family for so many years, thoroughly familiar with everything about the family, although he was still somewhat unfamiliar with the situation in the Capital City, Lu Shou could complement his shortcomings in that regard.
Regarding why Wu Hai would wait outside the study for him, he understood that it was nothing more than the fear that Lu Shou might take over his position as the butler.
Yang Zhenshan was a person who valued old sentiments, so naturally, he would not dismiss Wu Hai from his position.
However, Wu Hai was not young anymore; he was fifty-six by now, and even if he continued to serve as the butler, he wouldn’t be able to do so for many more years.
Whereas Lu Shou was not yet forty years old, when a few more years pass and Wu Hai retires, it would be perfect for Lu Shou to take over.
"Yes, this old servant will mentor Lu Shou well!" Wu Hai said with a chuckle.
"Mm," Yang Zhenshan pondered for a moment, then said, "Let’s establish another rule in the house. From now on, servants who are over the age of sixty can return home to enjoy their retirement, and their monthly wages will be distributed as usual, continuing until their death."
"If they have no children to support them, they may stay in the Yangshan Hall within the mansion to spend their retirement."
The rise of the Yang family was not a long one, thus the servants in the family were generally not of great age; Wu Hai was probably the eldest among them.
Retirement at over the age of sixty, which means collecting a pension, might seem stringent upon first hearing.
After all, in this world, the average lifespan of common people was only around forty years old.
