This made them even more uneasy, but there was nothing they could do. They could only continue to "enjoy" the hospitality without tasting the food.

...

Meanwhile.

The young people of the Wang Family responsible for hosting the younger generation of the Yian Family truly integrated with their Yian peers.

The Wang Family’s upbringing is extremely strict, and the Clan Academy demands rigorous adherence to various etiquette norms, as well as lessons in conduct and interpersonal skills.

The results in these areas are all counted toward the total score in the Clan Academy. Who would dare to fail in this aspect? If they truly failed, they would face a hard beating and be sent back to the Clan Academy to learn anew.

The main leader responsible for hosting the Yian juniors this time was Old Fifteen, Wang Shifeng, from the "Shi" generation. He is the second son of Wang Zongrui, who is the second son of Wang Shouzhe.

Although Wang Shifeng was not born of Wang Zong’an’s direct lineage, and strictly speaking belongs only to the secondary lineage, as long as Wang Shouzhe is still alive, even the secondary lineage holds a very high status.

At twenty years old this year, he naturally inherited the handsome and gallant appearance of his grandfather, Wang Shouzhe. He has already diligently worked at the grassroots level for two years at the Changning United Manufacturing Department and has now been promoted to the Deputy Chief Steward of the Depth Research Department on Glass Manufacturing Technology.

Having entered the workforce, he had shed the naivety of his Clan Academy days and gradually acquired the demeanor of a young elite.

Unlike other younger siblings present or Yian’s youngsters who have not yet shouldered significant responsibilities, Wang Shifeng’s every word and action exuded maturity and steadiness, much like his father, Wang Zongrui.

Not only did his younger siblings respect him, but even the Yian peers unknowingly developed a sense of admiration and awe towards him.

"Brother Shifeng."

The speaker was a girl who also stepped into the family business — Wang Yinglai.

She slightly pouted and said, "I really envy you, getting promoted to Deputy Chief Steward in just two short years. I’ve been working for almost a year, yet Brother Shichuan still treats me like a child, only letting me do errands, receive and send letters, and other trivial tasks. All the courses I learned at the Clan Academy aren’t being put to any use."

"Yinglai, you need to be patient, children of our family all start from the bottom," Wang Shifeng reassured with a smile, "However, Brother Six is much older than us, and he’ll inevitably pamper you, thinking you haven’t grown up yet. If you wish to grow, you can first apply to work in the sales department of the Artifact Refining Products, tone down the aura of a Noble Young Lady, and work solidly for two years before making any achievements."

"Since we have esteemed guests today, I won’t go into details with you now," Wang Shifeng said, fearing to neglect the guests, "Tomorrow, I’m free, so come find me and I’ll help strategize for you."

"Thank you, Brother Fifteen," Wang Yinglai beamed with joy.

A young second legitimate daughter from the Yian Family, Yian Yuxiang, overheard the conversation and curiously asked, "Brother Shifeng, I don’t quite understand. As a member of the esteemed Wang Family’s direct lineage, why do you need to work at the bottom for two years in the Clan Industry? Do you really have to follow the orders of those lower ranked?"

The Yian Family came with certain purposes, hence the young men and women who came along were all very handsome and well-dressed, with boys looking handsome and valiant and the girls appearing gentle and charming.

"Miss Yuxiang," Wang Shifeng replied with a slight bow, elegantly, "The Changning United Manufacturing Department is a joint industry of alliance families. It is a vast economic entity requiring institutionalized management to last long." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Although our Wang Family holds a significant share, we cannot act arbitrarily, otherwise how could we convince everyone? Though I’m at the grassroots, grassroots talents are the foundation of the Manufacturing Department, genuine core components. Those who can hold the positions of Deputy Chief Steward or Chief Steward are all very outstanding, worth learning from. I’ve learned a lot from them, and they deserve my respect."

"Brother Shifeng is truly remarkable."

Several girls from the Yian Family looked at Wang Shifeng with worshipful eyes. Although they did not understand many of the words, it did not interfere with their appreciation of the unique flavor in Wang Shifeng that was completely different from ordinary Noble Young Masters.

The young nobles from their family were considered outstanding among their peers in the Yian territory and were widely welcomed by girls. However, after interacting with the young people from the Wang Family, they realized the gap was significant in terms of grace, vision, knowledge, and conversation skills.

Comparison among people is truly daunting.

As a result, a few young men from the Yian Family were somewhat resentful.

They also tried to engage in conversation with Wang Yinglai, Wang Yinghuan, and Wang Yingmeng, the Wang Family’s similar-aged girls, intentionally or unintentionally attempting to show off their cultivation and knowledge, only to sadly realize that in every aspect, they couldn’t match those sweet-natured and polite girls.

Oftentimes, what these girls said would enlighten, and occasionally even be completely incomprehensible.

They didn’t realize that this was the disparity in cultural depth. The level of thought, world perception, and vision breadth were completely on different levels.

But this didn’t make them weak. It was that Wang Family’s young people had been exposed to comprehensive education from an early age, and their level of awareness and insight expanded unknowingly.
