When their conversation ended, the banquet formally began.

As the host, Song Xuanhe naturally could not sit down with Wei Chen and Zhou Nan. He had to first go meet with Song Yansong. Before Song Xuanhe could knock on the lounge, someone pushed the door open from the other side. When Song Xuanlin saw Song Xuanhe, he paused for a moment before speaking in a lowered voice. "Father's inside."

Song Xuanhe's hand paused in mid-air and he raised a brow. It wasn't odd for Song Guochao to be inside. There must be a reason why Song Xuanlin had given him a heads-up. He nodded gently and then stuck his head in to look inside. Upon finding Song Yansong, he smiled. "Grandpa, everything's ready downstairs. I came to escort you down."

Song Guochao whipped his head around. His dark expression confirmed Song Xuanhe's conjecture. Indeed, an issue had cropped up.

Song Yansong had also noticed Song Guochao's expression. He waved Song Guochao, who had reached out to support him, away and stood up. In a heavy tone, he said, "Regardless of what has happened, mind your expression. Don't make a farce of my Song Family."

As he was saying this, he walked over to the door. When he saw Song Xuanhe, who had peeked his head in, he gently tapped the other's head. His tone softened. "What are you looking at? Where did you run off to play?"

"Wei Chen said that he's afraid of unfamiliar places so I kept him company." Song Xuanhe beamed at him.

Looking at his smiling, flippant expression, Song Yansong couldn't help but glare at him. "How could I not know what that youngster from the Wei Family is like?"

"Grandpa," Song Xuanlin said, "I'm the one who told Xuanhe to accompany Wei shao."

Song Yansong glanced at Song Xuanlin and then nodded. He raised his hand towards Song Xuanhe and said, "Help me walk over."

Just then, Li Nianan, who had left the madams' circle, once again opened the lounge room door. When she saw Song Guochao, her smile faded slightly but she still looped her arm around his. Song Xuanhe and Song Xuanlin walked on either side of Song Yansong while Song Guochao and Li Nianan trailed behind them. With their arms linked with the other members of the family, they made for a very harmonious image.

As the three generations of Song walked over to the main table, all the guests stood up, their congratulations never-ending.

The banquet proceeded normally, with everyone networking and clinking glasses. The only thing that shocked everyone was that, after dinner, the Song Family proclaimed that there had been a change in the management of shares in the Song Group—Song Xuanlin had been promoted to President and Li Nianan and Song Guochao's shares that accounted for 20% of all shares had been transferred to Song Xuanhe.

When Song Yansong finished speaking, everyone beneath the stage immediately began to discuss this.

Song Xuanlin's promotion was subtle whereas Song Xuanhe had acquired a high proportion of shares. The guests really couldn't tell who would be the one to succeed the Song Group. Based on their current posts, it seemed like Song Xuanlin was undoubtedly going to be the one to take over the Song Group.

Song Xuanhe was very resourceful. During the toasting portion of the banquet, he ran over to Zhou Nan's table. After hearing the news just now, the other people at the table would occasionally look at Song Xuanhe. Zhou Nan also widened his eyes and looked at Song Xuanhe weirdly. "It can't be...your grandfather isn't planning on giving the Song Group to you, is he?"

"My brother is the President," Song Xuanhe said in a casual tone, "Why would he give it to me?"

"He's just the President..." Zhou Nan lowered his voice. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this now."
