Given the Zhai family's identity and status, there were naturally a good number of people who wanted to send gifts to the Zhai family every New Year. Besides, Qiao Nan still had Lin Yuankang as a master. Since there was no one else in the Lin family, Qiao Nan alone was responsible for Lin Yuankang's contacts later in his life as his disciple.
Qiao Nan was the only one who decided on whose gifts Lin Yuankang could accept and whose he could not. After receiving these gifts, it was also Qiao Nan's job to decide on how to return this favor. Qiao Nan had handled both the contacts of the Lin family and the Zhai family, and she had been rather sharp and critical.
