Nearly everyone invited had arrived, and the elder host took the stage.
The venue swiftly fell into silence.
Host elder: "Distinguished guests, today we gather not only to reunite with friends and colleagues but also to engage in a charitable cause for the common folk."
"The old headmaster, Li Leifeng, was still concerned about the issue of succession before his passing."
"Now, we have found the most appropriate solution."
"Lord Zhu Hou, who hails from the Southern Bean Royal Family and is known for his benevolence and magnanimity, will succeed as the headmaster of the Ciyou Garden."
"Let us invite Lord Zhu to the stage to deliver a speech."
A portly middle-aged man with a smile on his face walked up to the stage.
Today, Zhu Hou wore a long robe of green satin, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, his steps steady. In his every move, he exuded the dignity of the Zhu Family royal lineage.
