The next evening, I hosted a banquet at my residence for everyone.
Mou Xiaoning, a local from Nanjiang, was well-acquainted with the dishes and wines of the Taste Pavilion.
He specifically reserved the top private room and brought out his treasured aged wine, saying it was to celebrate my appointment and the establishment of the Shadow Garb Bureau.
“Everyone!”
I raised my glass and poured drinks for everyone.
“Today, I, Ye Yifan, take office. Thanks to Lord Feng's generous support, the Shadow Garb Bureau has been established. I am deeply grateful for your presence.”
“I would like to propose a toast to all of you!”
With that, I lifted my glass and drank it all in one go.
My initiative to pour drinks and share a toast with my subordinates surprised everyone.
Especially Mou Xiaoning, who quickly stood up, holding his glass high.
“My lord, you flatter us!”
“Come, let us toast to our lord!”
With that, everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
“Everyone!”
I waved my hand, signaling everyone to sit down.
"From now on, we are all brothers, no need for formalities."
"I raise this cup of wine to everyone!"
After saying that, I lifted my wine cup again and drank it all in one go.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed suit and drank as well.
"Everyone, enjoy the food, don't be polite!"
I encouraged everyone, and they all picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
"Xiao Ning, this wine is quite good!"
I deliberately praised.
"My lord, this is a fine wine that I have treasured for many years. I brought it today to present it to you!"
"Very good, very good!"
I smiled and raised my wine cup once more.
"This cup of wine is dedicated to Xiao Ning!"
"Huh?"
Mou Xiaoning quickly stood up.
"My lord, please don't!"
"Xiao Ning, drink with me!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Mou Xiaoning and I downed our drinks in one go.
After finishing, I poured another cup and looked at Li Dangshi.
"To you!"
"My lord!"
Li Dangshi stood up.
"I toast this cup to you!"
"My lord, I..."
"Li Dangshi, you are a veteran of the Shadow Garb Bureau and someone Lord Feng values. In the future, the work of the Shadow Garb Bureau will still need your efforts!"
"My lord, you flatter me; it's all part of my duty!"
"Good, I toast to you!"
“Lord Xie!”
I clinked glasses with Li Dangshi and downed the drink in one go.
After finishing, Li Dangshi sat down, his face slightly flushed.
I glanced at him and smiled.
“Ten, I heard you were sent by the Xiazhu Military Council Dark Investigation Division?”
“My lord, I…”
Li Dangshi suddenly became tense.
“Hehe, don’t be nervous.”
I waved my hand.
“You are sent by the Xiazhu Military Council Dark Investigation Division, that’s your qualification; I, Ye Yifan, won’t be jealous.”
“However, since you are now here at the Shadow Garb Bureau, we are all brothers. I hope you can treat this place as your home.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Li Dangshi quickly stood up, his face turning even redder.
“Alright, sit down.”
"Lord Xie."
Li Dangshi sat down, his gaze still somewhat unfocused.
I smiled and said nothing more.
What I had just said was both a reprimand and an attempt to win him over.
There was no doubt that Li Dangshi was sent by the Xiazhu Military Council Dark Investigation Division.
However, since he had now come to the Shadow Garb Bureau, he was my subordinate.
Naturally, I wanted him to integrate with the Shadow Garb Bureau and become part of a true family.
With this in mind, even if the Xiazhu Military Council Dark Investigation Division wanted to take action against the Shadow Garb Bureau in the future, Li Dangshi would speak on our behalf.
At the very least, he would not betray us.
Of course, this was just my preliminary plan; the specific actions would depend on the situation that followed.
