Chapter 1008: Your Matriarch is My Boss (1)
The next day, Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling arrived at Cai Ningxuan.
The slightly chubby old man and several other core members of the Loyalty Alliance warmly welcomed them.
These were the same members who had been at the Cai Ningxuan meeting. Other than Wei Qirui who had been removed, there were no changes to the other core members.
However, more people were present today.
In addition to the core members, other ordinary members of the Loyalty Alliance were also present.
In total, there were over a hundred people.
Everyone had been waiting for Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling's appearance.
Although they hadn't seen Jian Yiling before, they had all already read many reports and news articles about her.
A genius doctor and a prodigy when it came to esports.
Although her talents were recognized by most people, these talents weren't necessarily what was needed for the matriarch of the Loyalty Alliance.
And thus, everyone had doubts about their future matriarch.
When they saw Jian Yiling in person, their doubts were increased:
"This is our future matriarch? Why does she look underage?"
"Apparently she's an adult. She's eighteen years old. She just looks young."
"Can this little girl take on this job?"
"I don't know. At least for now, Master Zhai oversees the big picture. We don't need to worry a lot. However, when Master Zhai passes away, the Loyalty Alliance will fall into Master Sheng and our future matriarch's hands… And Master Sheng's health is bad… Ahhh…"
"Sigh, hopefully, this century-old foundation will not be destroyed in our generation."
"I hope so as well. I really do not know what will happen to the Loyalty Alliance in the future. This matriarch makes me quite worried."
Some people were worried whilst others were lamenting. Finally, there were people who just wanted to wait and see.
Everyone was gathered in the lobby of Cai Ningxuan.
The stage that was previously used as an auction stand was now used as an arena for the martial competition.
The seats facing the stage were reserved for Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.
The two of them took their seats.
At this moment, an important person came in. This person was surrounded by members of the Loyalty Alliance.
It appeared as though members of the Loyalty Alliance showed great respect to this individual.
Although this individual was not a member of the Loyalty Alliance, he had deep connections with them. As a result, he was respected by everyone.
Jian Yiling looked in the direction of the commotion and saw a familiar figure.
Feng Wei had come to watch the martial competition as a guest.
"Hello, Mr. Feng."
"Long time no see Mr. Feng!"
"Mr. Feng, how have you been doing lately?"
"Mr. Feng…"
As Feng Wei walked over to Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling, people seated on both sides got up to greet him.
"Mr. Feng, thank you for making this trip," the slightly chubby old man greeted Feng Wei warmly.
Feng Wei smiled before he said: "It's alright. I feel honored to come over and keep Young Master Zhai and Matriarch Jian company."
Then, Feng Wei walked over to Jian Yiling.
Feng Wei handed a milk tea to Jian Yiling in a very casual manner.
Jian Yiling quickly accepted the milk tea and began to drink it.
It appeared as though the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
However, this was a surprise to everyone else.
What was happening?
How did Mr. Feng know their matriarch?
Other than the core members of the Loyalty Alliance, no one else knew about Jian Yiling's situation.
Zhai Yunsheng narrowed his eyes at Feng Wei and eyed the milk tea that Feng Wei brought over.
When Feng Wei noticed this, he proudly said: "I made this with my own hands. Yiling's brother taught me the recipe."
