Chapter Summary
Many people had only seen her on smart devices before, but they all came over to take pictures with her because of her improved status. So many young girls were already swooning over Liu Ning, and given his young age, Zhang Jing knew that she would face even more rivals in the future. Although Zhang Jing didn't have that ability yet, she memorized the faces and voices of these people, waiting to see who would win and who would lose in the future.
Zhang Jing was listening to all of this from the side. She knew a little more than Liu Ning's mother, but she never imagined that Liu Ning had come through such a hardship. It was too difficult in the wild, and there were so many people causing trouble in the city. Her husband had it so tough. Since they came in this morning, Zhang Jing had been sitting at the front. Many people had only seen her on smart devices before, but they all came over to take pictures with her because of her improved status.
Many people who thought they were very capable were now sitting in the back rows. Zhang Jing could indeed feel the change in her status. Several of her competitors didn't even dare to come over. Perhaps after this meeting, these people would not appear in this city anymore, because they understood that staying would only bring them trouble.
However, after all the glory, Zhang Jing immediately felt a chill, because Liu Ning's status had risen, and she might not be able to keep her own position.
Furthermore, everyone knows why she married Liu Ning in the first place. Although she was his wife who had shared his hardships, she certainly didn't have much of a competitive edge compared to other young girls. Thinking about this, Zhang Jing felt a little sad. Her originally happy face was now filled with smiles, but those smiles quickly disappeared. However, Zhang Jing also considered that she couldn't resist the women around Liu Ning, given their family backgrounds. But Zhang Jing did put up a fight. For example, she forcefully excluded Zhou Rui.
After today's meeting, Zhang Jing knew that her future days would definitely not be so easy. So many young girls were already swooning over Liu Ning, and given his young age, Zhang Jing knew that she would face even more rivals in the future. When these young girls rushed forward, Zhang Jing's expression changed, becoming somewhat different from her usual kind demeanor. When their interests are infringed upon, everyone will choose to fight back. Although Zhang Jing didn't have that ability yet, she memorized the faces and voices of these people, waiting to see who would win and who would lose in the future.
The Lord of the City is currently chatting with Liu Ning. In addition to being the highest administrative official of the city, the Lord of the City is also the speaker of the city council, so he must attend. Moreover, if he doesn't come, it would be disrespectful to Liu Ning. Today is the best day for Liu Ning, so of course he has to come and support him.
The city lord came with his entire family. Zhu Tianhua and Liu Ning had a good relationship, so there were no obstacles in their conversation. However, the eldest son was a different story. This guy had been uncooperative from the start. If it weren't for saving face, the city lord would have wanted to kick him out immediately. He speaks without thinking. Are there things you can say today? Do you want to bring a powerful enemy into your family? Don't you think your family is declining fast enough?
"I don't know who came up with this nonsense, calling him a gifted youth. Have these people ever even met anyone with real talent? If this guy is really that talented, why was he chosen as a patrol member back then? What kind of people are chosen as patrol members? They're obviously those who don't do well in school and don't have any physical potential. These guys will do anything to flatter someone. They have no bottom line at all. They really need to be taught a lesson so they know there's some limit to how far they can go when they make up stories."
To be honest, the eldest son was indeed uncomfortable today. The position of councilor was something he had always wanted, but it wasn't something you could simply ask for. Other positions could be given to him, but the reason the West District's administrative head was able to outrank him was because that person was a city councilor. He simply couldn't be in that inner circle. Although they each managed a district, the latter was simply slightly more capable. Therefore, the eldest son was extremely uncomfortable with Liu Ning's election. He was far more capable than this guy back in the day, so why couldn't he become a city councilor? This was truly perplexing.
"Brother, please don't speak recklessly. Today's situation is beyond our control. Besides, the Human Investigation Bureau is here. If they hear what you say, they might oppose them. Father doesn't want that to happen either. Moreover, the position of a councilor isn't fixed. You see, some of them are already quite old. In a few years, they will definitely retire. At that time, you will still have a good chance."
Hearing his brother's increasingly outrageous words, Zhu Tianhua could only step forward to offer some advice. There were so many people around, none of whom were easy to deal with. If they really heard him, things would become much more complicated. That's why Zhu Tianhua had to say a few more words. If it didn't concern the entire family, he wouldn't care about his foul mouth. He could say whatever he wanted.
"What does this mean? Now it's your turn to lecture me? Is there no hierarchy in our family? Do you think you can lecture your older brother just because you have a powerful backer now? Let me tell you, this guy has offended a mage. Don't be fooled by his current success; once the Mage Guild makes a move, nobody will pay him any attention. And you need to understand, back when I was at your level, you were still peeing or playing in the mud. No matter what, you have no right to lecture your older brother."
The eldest young master was extremely dissatisfied, especially being lectured by his younger brother in such a setting. It seems you're nothing but a nobody. In this situation, why don't you stay quietly to the side and say such things in front of me? What exactly do you mean by this?
The people below didn't know what to say. In fact, they all thought the second young master was right. If anyone had any problems, they could go home and resolve them properly, instead of making a scene in this kind of place. Making a scene in this kind of place would not benefit anyone. It was precisely because of this that they thought the eldest young master did not consider the overall situation. If others heard about it, their family would be in for a lot of trouble, which was something no one wanted to see.
