On this day, Zhang Bao Li didn't see Beisitian, but instead was met by several people from Uncle's generation.
These included those from Fifth Uncle's lineage, as well as Uncle Nine's, which was her own lineage, with two other thriving branches following along.
In Uncle Nine's lineage, Zhang Bao Li was merely a minor figure; when had she ever sat together with so many family elders?
"You're Bao Li, right? You've truly been dedicated to remaining here in Qingzhou Town for so many years." The speaker was Zhang Baoguo, ranked third, mainly responsible for affairs at the Beijing Main Store, and also a close aide to Fifth Uncle, belonging to the same 'Bao' generation.
"It's not hard, not hard at all. For the family, this is what Bao Li should do!" Zhang Bao Li felt quite flattered, glancing down at Uncle Nine who sat nearby.
Uncle Nine's name was Zhang Baoju, holding his tea with lowered eyes, silent, while Zhang Ziquan sat behind him.
