My seniority is extraordinary: I was only eight years old when the whole village came to wish me a H

After receiving the imperial decree, Wu Jingzhi's entire demeanor was completely transformed.

He was no longer the old man fixated on ancestral rules, but the commander-in-chief who was about to personally organize an unprecedented grand ceremony.

His aged body seemed to be infused with boundless strength.

He bowed deeply to Wu You once again, then turned around and strode out of the ancestral hall with firm and powerful steps.

He has to make arrangements and deploy resources.

He had to complete the task assigned by the young master to the highest standard.

Once again, only Wu You remained in the ancestral hall.

He did not leave immediately, but walked back to the huge incense burner.

He watched as the three sticks of ambergris burned slowly, their wisps of smoke rising straight into the sky.

"Our ancestors, Wu You, did not know whether this action was right or wrong."

"But once the arrow is released, there's no turning back."

"I only hope that from now on, my Wu family will have a completely new look."

He murmured to himself, as if speaking to his ancestors, or as if declaring his aspirations to himself.

Wu You stood silently in the ancestral hall for a long time, until about a third of the three sticks of ambergris incense had burned out, before slowly turning around and walking out of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall doors closed silently behind him once again.

Outside the door, the night was already deep.

The square was deserted, with only the cool moonlight shining on the gray stone slabs, giving them a silvery-white glow.

The three burly men in black and the black Hongqi car remained as still as statues, waiting quietly a hundred meters away.

Upon seeing Wu You emerge, the driver immediately got out of the car and opened the back door.

Wu You got into the car but didn't immediately tell them to drive.

He leaned back in the large, soft leather seat, his small frame appearing even more delicate. He closed his eyes, seemingly somewhat tired.

From the moment he boarded the high-speed train to the exhausting "report" and "statement" in the ancestral hall just now, even this "young master" with the soul of an adult felt a sense of weariness.

The carriage was eerily quiet.

The driver and the three bodyguards spoke very softly, as if afraid of disturbing the young master's rest.

About five minutes later, Wu You opened his eyes again.

His dark eyes shone brightly in the dimly lit carriage.

He looked at the silent driver in the front seat and spoke calmly.

"How are the arrangements for Su Qinghuan and the others going?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it immediately changed the atmosphere inside the car from quiet to solemn.

The driver immediately sat up straight and, looking in the rearview mirror, respectfully replied, "Young Master, as you instructed, we have arranged for Miss Su and her party to stay at 'Listening to the Rain Pavilion'."

"Oh? Tingyu Pavilion?" Wu You raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly surprised by the arrangement.

Among the many villas in Wujia Village used to entertain distinguished guests, Tingyuxuan is not the largest or most luxurious, but it is definitely the one with the best location and the most elegant.

It is located right next to the core area of ​​the village, offering a quiet retreat amidst the bustling city, and its internal security and intelligent systems are of the highest level.

Typically, only VIPs with deep cooperation with Wujiacun are eligible to stay there.

"It was arranged personally by Elder Jing," the driver added. "Elder Jing said that Miss Su is a distinguished guest personally acknowledged by you, representing the face of Wu Family Village, and must not be neglected."

After listening, Wu You nodded noncommittally.

Although Wu Jingzhi, this old man, is sometimes rigid in his thinking, he is still very sensible when it comes to handling specific matters.

"How did they react?" Wu You asked again.

"I'm shocked." The driver's answer was concise, but Su Qinghuan and the others' naive and unworldly demeanor clearly left a deep impression on him.

"Especially when they saw the interior furnishings of Tingyuxuan and the dinner we prepared for them, the three of them were almost dumbfounded."

"Dinner?" Wu You seemed quite interested in this detail. "What's prepared?"

The driver immediately began to report: "As you instructed, adhering to the principle of 'no negligence,' the kitchen has prepared twelve dishes for them."

"The main course is Australian M12 Wagyu beef, slow-cooked in a French style, served with Périgord black truffle sauce."

"The seafood includes botan shrimp sashimi air-freighted from Hokkaido, and steamed grouper."

"The soup is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, made with 30-year-old fish maw and Liaoning sea cucumber from Northeast China."

"In addition, there is pan-fried foie gras, asparagus in white sauce, and a few home-style appetizers."

"The main dish is crab roe rice, served with crab roe extracted from the first batch of hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake this year."

"We didn't make the decision about the drinks ourselves. We just prepared a variety of beverages for them in the refrigerator, from French Evian mineral water to Romanée-Conti red wine, and they could choose for themselves."

The driver gave a very detailed account, as if he had been there at the time.

In fact, after Su Qinghuan and her group checked into Tingyuxuan, all information about them was immediately compiled at the security center of Wujia Village and then reported to the relevant person in charge.

After listening, Wu You leaned back in his seat, his long, slender, white fingers gently tapping his knees.

He was thinking.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"The dishes are too complicated."

He gave his own assessment.

"They're here to work, not to vacation. Eating too much oily and luxurious food will only negatively impact their mental state."

Upon hearing this, the driver stiffened and immediately said, "Yes...it was my oversight."

"It's not your fault," Wu You waved his hand. "It's Jingzhi who was too presumptuous. He thought that piling on the best things was a sign of respect for the guests."

"Little did they know, true respect is about striking the right balance."

Wu You paused for a moment, then continued, "Starting tomorrow, change their menu."

"Tell the kitchen to prepare more of our local Jiangcheng specialties. They're here to film the program 'The Taste of the New Year on the Road,' so let them experience the true 'taste of the New Year.'"

"For drinks, in addition to red wine, prepare some rice wine and yellow wine that we brew ourselves in our village."

"Yes, young master!" the driver replied immediately, his admiration for the young master deepening even further.

The young master always considered things from such a comprehensive and meticulous perspective.

He not only considered the guests' physical condition, but also incorporated the theme of their program.

This kind of subtle, nurturing care and control is the most terrifying.

"And one more thing," Wu You seemed to remember something else, "What's the situation with Su Qinghuan's live stream now?"

The driver immediately brought up a hidden screen in the car, where densely packed data was scrolling rapidly.

"Reporting to Young Master, Miss Su's live stream reached a peak of over 50 million concurrent viewers just before she ended the broadcast. Although the broadcast has ended, the live stream remains the most popular on the entire internet, and related keywords have dominated the trending topics on all social media platforms."

"Strawberry TV's servers crashed three times tonight. Their station manager is reportedly personally overseeing operations backstage and has already made an emergency report to higher authorities."

Wu You stared at the data on the screen, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

All of this was within his expectations.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

"Very good." He said calmly, "Jingzhi should have already informed them that the ancestral worship ceremony needs to be broadcast live."

"Now, it remains to be seen whether they can handle this immense wealth."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, seemingly unwilling to say anything more.

The driver understood and started the car.

The black Hongqi car, like a silent behemoth, slid silently into the deep night, heading towards the valley, towards Wu You's true home.

But the driver was still pondering the young master's last words.

"Catch this overwhelming wealth..."

He knew that what the young master meant was that the opportunity had been given, but if Su Qinghuan and Strawberry TV did not have enough ability and awareness to shoulder this opportunity that was enough to change their fate, then they would be crushed to pieces by this monstrous wave at any time.

This is both a blessing and a test.
