Although it was not explicitly written as the seat for the most important guest, her seating already indicated her relationship with Zhang Xuming.
After all, the closer you were seated, the closer you were to the host. It was also a symbol of respect.
Jian Yiling was currently Zhai Yunsheng’s fiancee. Therefore, she was treated with respect by many individuals.
Still, however, no one expected Zhang Xuming to give the seat on his right-hand side to Jian Yiling.
This meant that in Zhang Xuming’s mind, Jian Yiling was the one he valued most among all the guests today.
Wen Ruo was also looking at Jian Yiling. Currently, everyone’s attention was on Jian Yiling. She thought to herself that Zhai Yunsheng had given Jian Yiling all of this. As she thought about this, she became very upset. A sour taste lingered in her mouth.
Then, she lowered her head and looked around her.
Those who weren’t particularly close to Zhang Xuming did not have their seats fixed. As a result, there were no names written on the seats in advance.
She and Zhu Zimo were categorized as ordinary guests.
There was a big difference between important guests and ordinary guests.
Compared to the Jian family, the Wen family was obviously more prominent and respected in Beijing.
However, people treated her and Jian Yiling completely differently now.
As she thought about this, Wen Ruo glanced at Zhu Zimo who was seated beside her. Her heart felt somewhat uncomfortable.
In addition, Wei Qirui was also present today. He previously met Jian Yiling at Cai Ningxuan.
He was here because he had business dealings with Xuming Medical Manufacturers.
Therefore, Wei Qirui was also well respected. His seat was also close to Zhang Xuming’s.

However, Jian Yiling’s seat was still closer.
When he saw Jian Yiling, he secretly sneered in his heart.
He did not respect this so-called matriarch.
Apparently, she just won the championships of some game.
How ridiculous. Why was the matriarch of the Zhai family playing video games?
Did she not know what her proper duties were? Did she even know what she was doing? She didn’t seem like a matriarch at all.
As he did not acknowledge Jian Yiling as the Zhai family’s matriarch, Wei Qirui did not go up to greet Jian Yiling.
Wei Qirui was certain that Zhang Xuming arranged such a seat for Jian Yiling because she was the future matriarch of the Zhai family.
However, the word future was placed in front of the word matriarch.
She wasn’t the matriarch of the Zhai family yet. That was still up for debate.
As most of the guests arrived, Zhang Xuming also took a seat.
Other than Jian Yiling and Wei Qirui, the table he was at was filled with prominent figures in the industry. In addition, individuals that he was incredibly close with also sat here.
Wei Qirui asked about the announcement that everyone was curious about:
“Elder Zhang, what news do you plan to announce today? Can you reveal a bit to us?”
Zhang Xuming smiled before he replied: “It’s not anything new. It’s just that I’m planning to retire.”
As predicted by everyone else, Zhang Xuming’s announcement was related to his retirement.
He was already eighty years old. If he didn’t retire, he was about to die on his job.
At this moment, someone asked: “Elder Zhang, does that mean you found a suitable successor?”
A big reason that contributed to Zhang Xuming not retiring was that he was unable to find a suitable successor.
If he found someone earlier, he would have wanted to retire ten years ago.
Zhang Xuming’s face was full of smiles. It was as though he was in a very good mood: “Yes, I found someone. Rather, instead of finding someone, I begged them to become my successor.”
