The meal was a joyous one, though the elders seated with Song Xiaodong didn't drink much. However, some of the younger folks were starting to liven up.
Their fathers were somewhat worried, thinking of stepping in, but Song Xiaodong simply smiled and said, "It's a festive season, let's all be happy. Let them drink to their heart's content; today, there's no distinction between elders and juniors."
No one dared to countermand Song Xiaodong's words, so they could only let things take their course.
After a while, Song Xiaodong actively mingled with the young crowd. Usually, he had to uphold his dignity as the Family Head, but not today, which was also a show of being down-to-earth.
Additionally, Song Xiaodong intentionally wanted to nurture the Su Family's youth. The younger generation has a plethora of ideas, and if given the opportunity, they would rather start their own businesses.
