Wei Zanting returned to San Francisco, originally to take over the family business in San Francisco after graduation, to lay down roots in America.
He was still unsure whether he wanted to follow Zhu Wencong, unclear how the Chinese Business Association had communicated with his father.
Zhu Wencong was indeed outstanding, and his future achievements would only be greater, not lesser, but ultimately, he was not a member of his own clan.
Easterners have a strong sense of clanship, simply put, if you're not from the same village, with the same surname, you're an outsider.
Wei Zanting believed it would be difficult for him to enter Zhu Wencong's inner circle; he would only reuse his direct lineage, not the collateral lines.
Under this mindset, Wei Zanting hesitated a lot, not daring to pledge his loyalty to Zhu Wencong, ending up being unpleasing to both sides.
