Chapter 1720: Chapter 1772: Continue

Song Zude’s rant couldn’t be heard clearly by Li Yifei and the others, and Li Yifei didn’t want to listen. He didn’t see the need to waste energy on such a person. What Li Yifei needed to do now was to bring the banquet back to normal order. Although this was almost impossible, he still needed to say sothing.

Holding a glass of wine, Li Yifei stood on high ground, smiling at the people below, and said in a relaxed tone, "Everyone, you just saw that there was a little accident, but it has been resolved. I hope it doesn’t affect your mood. After all, occasions like tonight are rare. I personally hope everyone enjoys themselves and ets more like-minded friends."

Imdiately, soone below shook their head, saying it wasn’t a problem and that they weren’t affected at all.

So even shouted that the Song Family was really too much, and that Song Zude was simply crazy.

Others didn’t know what to say, afraid that malicious people would overhear and spread rumors.

At this ti, Li Yifei raised his glass and said, "Co on, let’s have a drink, consider it my apology to everyone. It’s all my oversight, letting a vicious dog in and disrupting everyone’s mood. I should apologize with a drink!"

Saying this, Li Yifei tilted his head back and downed the drink in one go, very bravely.

Regardless of what wine they were holding, the people below were very gracious and did the sa. Of course, those holding white spirit, wanting to try the taste of the Ye family’s pure grain spirit, also had to pinch their noses and drink it up, otherwise, they would be disrespecting Li Yifei. After all, he chose a glass of white spirit himself, so it serves him right.

Even the clan chiefs of so families behind him drank a bit, like Wang Chunlai, who also drank pure grain spirit in one go, just like Li Yifei.

After finishing the drink, Li Yifei spread his arms and said, "Please continue, everyone. If you can’t eat anymore, just drink so wine. The event is not over yet, so please enjoy yourselves."

As Li Yifei’s words ended, soothing music began to play in the venue, and many people were shouting thanks to Clan Leader Li, expressing gratitude for the hospitality, and wishing for Clan Leader Li to be happy.

The commotion was about to settle. If they stayed here any longer, they would only be causing trouble.

Li Yifei returned to his seat, knowing that he couldn’t restore the previous atmosphere, so after eating a piece of at, he said, "Clan chiefs, let’s continue. We’ve just finished deciding the third place; for the fourth, I wonder what everyone thinks?"

With the commotion caused by Song Zude, the clan chiefs each had their own thoughts. They were unsure how far Song Zude had allied with the Zhao Family and what it might lead to, just in case...

Once they finished the ranking and if the Song Family won, the ranking would have to be redone!

"What’s wrong? Don’t the Chu Family, Zheng Family, and Wang Family have any thoughts?" Li Yifei asked after a minute, seeing that no one from the families spoke up.

Wang Chunlai laughed and said, "The Wang Family intended to be modest, but since none of you have any ideas, the Wang Family could take the fourth spot! What do you all think?"

Of course, it wasn’t feasible. Even if the Li family was domineering, the remaining two families would never agree to such an arrangent. So, the Chu Family imdiately said, "Wang Chunlai, you’d better drop that idea. Asset-wise, the Chu Family is fourth. Your Wang Family should be content with sixth place, which is the best outco."

The Chu Family Patriarch openly claid the fourth place, which displeased the Zheng Family Patriarch. He tapped the table with his finger and said, "Asset-wise, the Zheng Family surpasses your Chu Family by a couple of billion. How can you say that, Old Chu?"

The Chu Family Patriarch replied, "You’re wrong. I’ve looked into your Zheng Family; where did those billions co from?"

"Heh, this you don’t know. The Zheng Family recently closed an overseas business deal, making a profit of five billion. Look, that’s exactly more than your Chu Family, so the fourth spot is undoubtedly ours," the Zheng Family Patriarch said proudly.

This ti, the clan chiefs didn’t want to think about Song Zude’s incident earlier, as they were embroiled in a fierce argunt over the fourth position.

In the end, Old Master Ye and the Hu Family Patriarch together verified the Zheng Family’s assets, confirming them as fourth, making the Chu Family naturally fifth, and the Wang Family followed closely at sixth place.

The forr Eight Great Clans of the provincial capital had been reduced from eight to five. Except for the Hu Family, all had seen progress, with the Ye family notably jumping to the third position directly.

The new top six rankings quickly spread out, and many were waiting for this mont. So were on good terms with the Hu Family, others with the Chu Family, so with the Zheng Family, and still others with the Ye, Wang, and Li families. So didn’t please anyone, and with these rankings out, they needed to think about what to do next.

After the fierce dispute, the Chu and Zheng families cald down, and even toasted and ate BBQ together.

Li Yifei looked around and said, "I heard that even before the country’s founding, there was talk of the Eight Great Clans here. It’s just that the clans were different back then. Is that the case?"

"Yes, but that was more than half a century ago," the Chu Family Patriarch said.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Since this is a tradition, why not fill the remaining two spots today?"

His voice wasn’t loud, but it instantly drew much attention, and it was only then that those outside realized Li Yifei’s proposal was also the highlight of today—the positions for two newly promoted families. Except for these few families, there were indeed corporations in the province with assets exceeding 10 billion, but while you could call them families, they still pale in comparison to true families. As a result, despite their wealth, they have no say.

If Li Yifei proposed the inclusion of two new families, then... would they have a chance? Once they stepped into the family ranks, the honor would be different.

So small families with assets close to the threshold were even more excited, having been completely unaware of this beforehand. Even these few big family mbers didn’t know until today. Although they were prepared, unless the Li Family raised and hosted the matter, anyone else proposing would be in vain and easily offend others.

The chiefs of a few of the families with the most assets and best prospects were unconsciously pushed to the front, standing not far from the pavilion, looking at the scene inside with excitent as if awaiting judgnt.

After Li Yifei finished speaking, the families fell silent, with only Old Master Ye remaining unmoved, sitting like he was asleep, with his eyebrows drooping and eyes closed without any reaction. And Li Yifei, having spoken, was sipping his wine slowly, not in a hurry to hear their opinions.

Wang Chunlai knew sothing in advance and wasn’t surprised. The Li family, having secured the leading position, naturally needed to lead in so matters, especially after Li Yifei had just dealt a thunderous blow to the Song Family and Southern Sky Crocodile, the Zhao family mbers.
