Chapter 1717: Chapter 1794: Heavy Responsibility
The assembly hall was filled with crying; earlier, no one knew today was Teacher Qiu Bai’s farewell party. It was such a sudden announcement that everyone was caught off guard and found it hard to accept.
"Do you feel pressured?" Yang Wenyin asked, watching Sheng Ning as she repeatedly adjusted her clothing, relishing the moment.
The brand-new attire was hundreds of times better than ordinary clothes, with epaulets and cuffs gleaming. Sheng Ning stood among the crowd as a standout presence, wearing a hat, her posture straight and composed, even her fiery rose-like beauty took on a solemn aspect.
Hearing Yang Wenyin’s words, she barely smiled and earnestly replied, "Yes, I feel the hat is very heavy, very heavy."
"A heavy hat signifies great responsibility; don’t ever betray the weight this clothing bestows upon you." It wasn’t just Qiu Bai; even she hoped that someone more excellent and responsible would take over such attire.
Sheng Ning remained silent for a moment, then resolutely said, "I will."
The crying in the hall had been stopped, and Qiu Bai loudly announced, "Let’s give a warm welcome to the new teacher, Comrade Sheng Ning."
Following her lead, the hall was instantly enveloped in applause. Some knew the name, while to some newcomers, it was unfamiliar. Yet, regardless of reasons, everyone applauded in unison.
As Sheng Ning walked amidst the enthusiastic applause, waves of nervousness surged within her.
She was uncertain if she could do better; the weight of the hat upon her head felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

The welcoming party concluded, and it was not until after four in the afternoon that Sheng Ning left the General Union’s gates. A black sedan was parked at the entrance, and upon seeing her, Ji Le Tian cheerfully stepped out, walked around the back, and opened the door for her.
"Family Head, please." Ji Le Tian seemed in high spirits. Truth be told, ever since deciding to return to the country with the new Family Head, he hadn’t regretted it.
However, the brothers he grew up with and colleagues from the auction house all cast sympathetic glances his way, saying despite his rapid promotion, returning to the mainland might be harder than expected!
The reality of quickly rising to the top wasn’t as splendid as imagined.
Yet, he was a ruthless man, ruthless to enemies and more so to himself. Since the Family Head chose him and he vowed loyalty, he would tackle any challenge head-on, even if surrounded by flames of war.
With this mindset, upon returning, he found the mainland’s situation immensely impressive, astonishingly good, even better than the U.S. Anyone with economic foresight would know the immense future potential.
Under the leadership of the new Family Head, what achievements could the Feng Family attain? It was beyond imaginable. Consequently, his status truly skyrocketed; even those who served the Feng Family a lifetime couldn’t compare to him now.
Hence, Ji Le Tian was excited, seeing Sheng Ning as if seeing countless US Dollars.
With a blank expression, Sheng Ning got into the car. Only after it had driven a long way did she speak, "Don’t pick me up so close in the future." Being too near, teammates entering or leaving would likely spread unpleasant gossip.
"Understood!" Ji Le Tian replied respectfully, though not entirely comprehending.
The car headed towards the villa district, passing the entrance of the first villa, coincidentally encountering Meng Ping and his team emerging, blocking their car.
