"I believe a lot of people here must have been shocked by my decision. To be honest, when I first heard this news, I was shocked as well."
Song Menghwa had lived for most of his life and had experienced all kinds of storms. At this time, his life was coming to an end, so he didn't care much about some rumors and slander. On the contrary, the people around him became much more important.
Therefore, this decision was something that he had made a long time ago.
Su Zhinian was his son. Even though it was shameful to have an illegitimate son, Song Menghwa would not do that. He wanted to announce this to the world on Song Empire's anniversary, to let them know that his illegitimate son was not a stain on his reputation but his own son.
One second, Song Menghwa's tone had changed to a more emotional one. "However, as much as I am shocked, I am also happy and thankful.
"I am thankful that God has been kind to me. When they took away my other son, they gave me a son who is just as good.
"The one who made the mistake was me, not my son. No matter whether my son is Song or Su, they are still my best son."
The restless crowd quieted down again. After about ten seconds, someone started clapping.
Amid the applause, the host raised the microphone, and Su Zhinian walked onto the stage.
Su Zhinian did not know about this decision from Song Menghwa. Even though it had happened quite suddenly, he stood on the stage calmly. He accepted the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I am Su Zhinian. From today onward, I will be Song Empire's CEO. I hope everyone will take good care of me."
…
The next to take the stage was Song Empire's current CEO, Zheng Hao. He briefly explained Song Empire's development plan for the next year.
Then, it was time for the most important part of the anniversary, the champagne popping.
In previous years, it was either Song Menghwa and his wife or Song Cheng and Fang Rou who would be opening the champagne. Now that Madam Song and Song Cheng were no longer around, the champagne popping this time was left to Song Menghwa's children, Su Zhinian and Song Qingchun.
"Now, let us welcome Mr. Su Zhinian and Miss Song Qingchun to the stage to open the champagne …" Following the host's announcement, the hall erupted in thunderous applause.
Then, background music began to play from all the speakers in the banquet hall.
Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian walked one after the other toward the champagne tower.
The waiter slowly pushed a cart filled with all kinds of custom-made champagne.
The two emcees standing next to Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian each picked up a bottle of champagne and opened it as the emcee continued his congratulatory speech.
The moment the host said that, the two masters of ceremonies walked toward the stage with smiles on their faces. Just as they were about to pass the champagne to Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian, the melodious background music suddenly turned into a rustling sound.
Even though the two emcees were well-trained, they were still stunned at the same time.
The host frowned and raised the microphone. He first asked, "What's going on?" Then he calmly pacified the chaotic scene. "I'm sorry, there might be a small problem with the audio equipment. Please calm down …"
