846 That Was Some Big Talk
"He's really amazing! I think he's even better than Lisa when he was young. The younger generations are getting better and better!" a close guest of the families commented.
As the host, Marco went along with the crowd and praised Jeon Rui since they were going to become a family soon, but he chuckled to himself when he heard that comment.
Better than Lisa when he was little? That was some big talk!
Marco did not show his emotions on the surface nonetheless. "Of course, he's better than Lisa!"
Jeon Rui waved his hands in denial. "You guys have to stop praising him, he's going to become full of himself. He could never be up to Lisa's standard! I would be really glad if he could be at least half as capable as his Uncle Lisa!"
"You're too humble, Elder Manoban, he's going to do something great! For families like ours, the most important thing isn't the money we earn or the properties we own, it's the people: As long as our successors are capable, that's the real treasure of the family. No matter how great your family is, with an incapable successor, it will surely fall in a few generations!"
"That's right! Elder Jeon is really blessed! Somi, Jungkook, and Zhichen are all superb!"
"Exactly, unlike us, still having to worry about the useless kids at home..."
Many people were able to relate to their words, at the same time, suddenly remembering the worrying situation of the heir to the Manoban family.
So what if they were the richest family in Imperial?
No matter how great Lisa was, he could, at most, hang on for one or maybe two generations.
Numerous shareholders and supporters had their eyes on the family. If there was no capable successor after Lisa, things might be chaotic and the Manoban dynasty might even fall within a night; it was not an uncommon sight in cases like these. No one could predict what would happen in the future...

Somewhere in the banquet hall, Jennie noticed a group of people flattering the Jeon family, and she knew her chance had arrived...
Jackson and a few other guys had been defeated by Jeon Zhichen's mathematics question and were even humiliated by their own parents, making them all feel very embarrassed.
Jackson could not help it anymore, so he spoke up helplessly, "Zhichen, we're all underachievers here. Even if we learned about it before, it's been so long ago that we've all forgotten about it. Why not ask your aunt? Surely she could solve them!"
Jeon Zhichen looked at Somi and mumbled, "She explained it to me before but I didn't get it, then she got angry at me and was unwilling to teach me again!"
"Ugh, well..." Jackson shrugged cluelessly but he then suddenly thought of something. "I know! Uncle Lisa will surely know this! Eh...where's Lisa?"
Somi stared at Jackson unhappily, "Lisa is busy, don't pester him, it's Zhichen's fault for not being able to solve this, let him think on his own."
"Somi, you're too strict! Zhichen is only 13!" Jackson replied.
847 Little Bunny! It's You!
The crowd was impressed by the education method of the Jeons.
"This is what I call real elite education!"
"They are this strict to their sole male grandchild, no wonder he's this amazing!"
"Hey, Elder Jeon, what's the secret to educating kids? Give us some tips!"
...
As the guests were discussing children's education with Jeon Rui, a girl's clear voice came through, "Master Wang, I heard you're looking for First Master. Was there something you needed? He is greeting some guests outside! I can help you to send a message if it's something urgent!"
