Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife

Chapter 1590: Chapter 1590: Understood

Cheng Zhongyuan was the first to lead Cheng Sheng towards the podium. Seeing this, several Elders from the Ancient Martial Alliance followed and took their seats on stage.

After sitting down, Cheng Zhongyuan gave the host a look.

The host caught on to Cheng Zhongyuan’s intention and cleared his throat, ”Thank you all for attending the inauguration speeches of the Dragon King and the Dragon Head. First up, please welcome the previous Dragon King, Elder Cheng, to share some words!”

Observing this, nobody thought much of it. Elder Cheng’s remarks were seen as a warm-up, his speeches under normal circumstances would at least last five to ten minutes.

Now, there were five minutes remaining before the inauguration speeches were to officially start. Once Elder Cheng finished speaking, the inauguration could begin in earnest!

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Cheng Zhongyuan did not offer a long and elaborate discourse but spoke only a few brief sentences.

”This is an era for the young. We old folks should be enjoying the pleasures of life. The world belongs to these youngsters. Now, please welcome the Dragon King and the Dragon Head to deliver their inaugural speeches!”

Chen Yuanchuan, who had been leisurely sipping his tea, nearly sprayed out his drink at these words!

God damn it, this Old Cheng isn’t playing by the rules!

What to do? If he had a falling out with Elder Cheng at this moment, he’d definitely become a laughingstock!

It seemed he would have to find a way to bide for time!

Unfortunately, he had always preferred action over words. To expect him to ramble on stage for five minutes would be asking the impossible!

As Chen Yuanchuan grew increasingly anxious, the audience’s gaze fell upon him, and he had no choice but to walk up to the podium, looking quite reluctant.

”Elder Cheng, esteemed Sect Masters, and core disciples of the Dragon Flame Sect, hello! I am the new Dragon King, Chen Yuanchuan!

It’s an honor to become the new Dragon King! I’ve already made my oath when I assumed the position of Dragon Head, so we can skip that part.

You should all know me by now, I’m someone who prefers action to words.

But as the Dragon King, I cannot just fight and kill all day. I need to learn to oversee the bigger picture, and I would like to learn humbly from all of you.

I want to... I want to...”

As Chen Yuanchuan struggled to continue, he kept wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, glancing out of the corner of his eye toward the direction of the Dragon Head office.

Unfortunately, Chen Yuanchuan did not catch sight of the figure he hoped to see.

”Ah Chuan, you can stop with the ’I want to’s’. We all understand you! We know you’re a person of action, so you might as well step down now,” said Cheng Zhongyuan with a chuckle.

For a long time, Chen Yuanchuan had been highly averse to those who would drone on and on in meetings, but today, for the first time, he realized how important the ability to speak at length was.

”Dragon King, we understand what you’re trying to say. You may step down now,” a chuckling Elder from the Ancient Martial Alliance interjected.

Chen Yuanchuan’s face turned from green to pale and back again, forcing him to step off the stage with a dejected look.

”Eh? Why hasn’t the new Dragon Head made an appearance yet? What is he doing? Why isn’t he taking the inauguration speech seriously?”

”It’s outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! The Dragon King is present, Elder Cheng is present, the Elders are present, even the core disciples of the Dragon Flame Sect are here! Yet the new Dragon Head is nowhere to be seen. Doesn’t he care about us at all?”

”How can we trust him with the position of Dragon Head if the new one lacks such a sense of time?”

”Making so many of us wait for him is completely unacceptable!”
