"Thank you for hosting this banquet, Lord Dongfang. I am deeply honored."
With just a few simple words of greeting, the two men had shown each other ample respect.
The exchange went smoothly, with no awkwardness to be found.
Dongfang Li thought to himself.
'Shen Bai looks quite young, but he's so composed and tactful, completely unfazed by praise or pressure. If he continues on this path, he's destined for achievements far greater than his current station. Building a good relationship with him is definitely the right move.'
Sometimes, first impressions are what matter most. And Shen Bai's first impression had caused not only Lord Dongfang but also the other officials and faction leaders to nod in silent approval.
Regardless of his actual power, his unshakeable composure alone made him someone worth knowing.
Dongfang Li gestured and said, "Since Lord Shen is here, please, join me at my table."
There was an empty seat right beside the head table, reserved just for Shen Bai.
