Lu Xuan didn't interrupt. After patiently listening to him finish, he calmly asked:
"Brother Chen, do you know why this banquet is being held? I heard the heads of every department in the province are here, and the mayors of a dozen or so first-tier cities have also come in person..."
Chen Dao shrugged and said with a smile:
"That, I don't know. I just tagged along with my old man to see the world and, while I'm at it, get to know young prodigies like you, Brother Lu..."
Lu Xuan chuckled in amusement.
Just then, Chen Dao glanced at the silent, stone-faced Yan Jiangxue, then politely and quickly averted his gaze. Looking straight ahead, he asked:
"This Miss Yan..."
Before he could finish, suddenly—
"Ahem!"
A cough echoed from the high platform, resounding throughout the spacious banquet hall.
Chen Dao stopped talking. Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue also focused their attention, looking up toward the high platform.
