The purpose of this design mirrors that of the emperor’s dragon chair, aiming to emphasize the status of the head of the family.
At that moment, Fei Kexin spoke nervously, saying, “Mr. Wade, your presence here makes it impossible for Kexin to sit in a higher position than you… please, take the master seat!”
Charlie offered a slight smile, gently waving his hand as he replied, “You are the master of this family, and regardless of who visits, that remains unchanged. Thus, you hold the highest position here, and as a guest, I cannot take precedence.” With that, he moved to the seat opposite Fei Kexin and settled down.
Fei Kexin was momentarily unsure of how to respond, but Jian, who was nearby, encouraged her, saying, “Kexin, you should listen to Mr. Wade. He is right; you are the head of the Fei family, and no one else has the right to assume that role.”
Reluctantly, Fei Kexin took her seat.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
In fact, Chinese etiquette holds significant importance. For instance, at a dinner table, the person of higher status is expected to raise their ss higher during toasts. If someone of lesser status tries to match that height, they might face immediate repercussions.
Fei Kexin was frustrated that her seat was higher than Charlie’s and thought to herself, “Why didn’t I consider this sooner? If I had thought ahead, I would have ensured all the seats were equal… I guess I’ll have to remember for next time…”
Once Fei Kexin was seated, Jian took his time settling beside Charlie, filled with anticipation yet slightly anxious.
Unable to contain himself, he asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, may I inquire about the reason for your visit tonight?”
Charlie responded with a light smile, “I came to express my gratitude for the support that Kexin and the Fei family have provided during a challenging time. You’ve helped me navigate through many difficulties, so my main purpose here is to say thank you.”
Fei Kexin quickly replied, “Mr. Wade, it’s truly an honor for the Fei family to assist you; we are grateful for the opportunity!”
Charlie waved his hand dismissively, saying, “I believe in showing gratitude when someone lends a hand. It’s a principle my parents instilled in me from a young age.”
He then turned to Jian and stated earnestly, “Mr. Fei, upon returning from Hong Kong Ind, I asked Miss Fei if there was anything she needed help with. She expressed concern for your health, which is why I came here today, primarily at her request, to address some pressing issues for you.”
Upon hearing this, Fei Kexin realized that Charlie was advocating for her interests.
Jian felt a surge of emotion and pride for his granddaughter, anticipating what Charlie might say next. While he didn’t expect Charlie to provide a miraculous rejuvenation pill, he still held out hope.
As he waited, Charlie dered, “Mr. Fei, given our long-standing acquaintance, I won’t mislead you. Since Miss Fei is most concerned about your health, I want to make a promise: as long as you support Miss Fei in managing the Fei family, I will ensure your life is extended by another ten years!”<fnd28c> Follow current nov?ls on FindN()vel</fnd28c>
Jian’s excitement was palpable as he quickly asked, “Mr… Mr. Wade… Is what you’re saying true?!”
Charlie nodded seriously, affirming, “What I promise, I will deliver.”
Overwhelmed with emotion, Jian felt tears welling up. Thismitment meant more to him than anything else in the world.
In gratitude, he stood, sped his hands together, and said respectfully, “Jian thanks you, Mr. Wade, for your immense kindness. Your generosity and virtue will be forever remembered!”
As he spoke, Jian attempted to kneel in gratitude.
However, Charlie reached out to stop him, saying, “Mr. Fei, before you thank me, there is a condition that you must agree to.”
Jian quickly replied, “Mr. Wade, please share your condition. Whether it’s one or a hundred, I will not hesitate!”
Charlie stated calmly, “I want you topletely abandon the bid for Huichundan from this point forward!”
