The banquet officially began;
Dong Zicheng walked to the center of the stage first and looked around at the people below. There were many familiar yet unfamiliar faces; the expressions on their faces were also different. Perhaps they all had many doubts about this influential figure whom they had not seen for a long time.
The Dong family's previous turmoil had just subsided, and now they were holding a banquet with such fanfare, so there would inevitably be voices of doubt.
I feel that Dong Zicheng's behavior is a bit too ostentatious. Although it is one of the aristocratic families, based on the current strength of the Dong family, it is still a bit far-fetched among these three families.
"Welcome everyone to today's dinner. I'm sure you're all a little unfamiliar with me. I've been away from the Dong Group for so long, and things are changing so rapidly these days. I'm old, and I'm really a little overwhelmed!"
"I'm sure you've all heard the rumors. The theme of today's banquet is to celebrate the group's renewal. I can't completely agree with this! Because, in addition to announcing that Dong Xu will take over the Dong Group, I also want to solemnly announce that the position of Dong family head is officially handed over to Dong Xu today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the audience; no one expected that the protagonist today was not Dong Zicheng who had just returned to the Dong family, but Dong Xu, the adopted son of the Dong family.
Before the press conference, Dong Group officially announced that Chen Xu had officially changed his name. With the foreshadowing at the AX press conference, the name change announcement did not cause much response and not many people paid attention to it.
Everyone looked at each other, still in shock at this sudden news.
Dong Zicheng raised his hand to signal Dong Xu to come on stage, but after the two of them stood still, the audience was still silent.
Dong Xu had thought of many situations, but the current silence still made them feel a little uneasy in the center of the stage. He glanced around and saw that everyone's eyes were still fixed on him. He calmed himself down and raised his eyes again, and met the affirmative eyes of Jiang Luoning and Fu Linxiao.
The little girl smiled at him and nodded.
"I'm Dong Xu, the adopted son of the Dong family. When I learned of my father's decision, I was as surprised as everyone else! But after careful consideration, I still took on this heavy responsibility. The Dong Group has just stabilized, and the internal turmoil has just subsided. Its subsequent development and continuation still require the joint efforts of all of us!"
The man's sonorous and powerful words were still echoing in the venue, but clear applause came from a corner. The guests looked in the direction of the sound; they saw Fu Linxiao wearing a neat suit, his face solemn and calm, but the clapping of his hands surprised everyone even more.
Before anyone could react, Jiang Linghao, Jiang Luoning, and others burst into applause.
Even if other people present still had some doubts about the appointment just announced, with the support of these three big men, they no longer dared to speak.
Whether it was due to the pressure or the atmosphere, the applause in the venue gradually became more unbridled, and some even shouted congratulations.
In an instant, the originally calm venue became extremely lively, with applause and congratulations rising one after another in a very harmonious manner.
Dong Zicheng and Dong Xu left the stage amidst the noise.
Fu Linxiao and the other two retreated to a corner silently and no longer talked with the hypocritical aristocratic families.
Unlike them who were at ease, Dong Xu and his companions had been surrounded by people toasting and chatting with them since they stepped down from the stage. In response, Dong's father and son talked to the guests with great enthusiasm, exchanging pleasantries and listening to the guests' praise. It was unclear whether it was sincere or not.
"Mr. Dong, congratulations!"
"With the leadership of the two of you, the Dong family will surely prosper!"
"Young people are truly formidable! Young Master Dong is truly a handsome man!"
Hypocritical compliments were heard from the surveillance camera to A Xing and Lu Zifan's ears. Lu Zifan was already accustomed to this kind of hypocritical chatter, but the young man hated it very much. He always felt that this group of people were too fake, with smiling eyes and saying things that were not meant from the heart, which was very disgusting.
Noticing the undisguised disdain in the boy's eyes, Lu Zifan smiled indulgently and stroked the boy's frizzy hair.
The touch was very wonderful. Every time the boy felt aggrieved or unwilling to show some strange emotions, Lu Zifan always wanted to touch the boy's messy hair, but he was unable to resist this impulse many times.
Perhaps because he saw that there was no one around, his actions were very bold and he didn't restrain himself at all.
"Brother Zifan! Do you treat me as your pet?"
The man was still immersed in his own enjoyment when he heard the young man's resentful question. Lu Zifan woke up instantly and became a little uneasy for some reason, as embarrassed as if he had done something bad and been caught.
"Or do you still treat me like a child? I'm almost an adult!"
Seeing that there was no response, Ah Xing's wild thoughts continued to ferment, and he stared at Lu Zifan with an unfriendly look, as if he would eat him alive if he heard any words that displeased him from the man's mouth today.
Lu Zifan held his forehead helplessly. He really had no resistance to Ah Xing's behavior, but he couldn't express his thoughts clearly, so he could only pretend to be serious.
"Whether you're a child or not has nothing to do with whether you're an adult or not. Look at your older brother, he's still not as good as you!"
After saying this, he looked at the young man with a serious expression, as if to prove the seriousness of his words.
Ah Xing blinked her confused eyes when she heard this, and asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
"Real! More real than the silver needle in your hand!"
Lu Zifan's serious expression finally won Ah Xing's trust, but little did he know that Jiang Linghao, who was pulled out to block the fight, was sneezing all over the venue looking for President Su Yu.
