But precisely because of the way families like the Situ Family, Loo Family, and Xiao Family conduct their affairs, everyone in both the military and political arenas is eager to cling to their powerful coattails.
Those who had received invitations to the birthday party had specifically cleared their schedules for this day. Some even rescheduled their foreign visits to a later date. And for those not qualified, or let's say, not within the invite range of the Situ Family, Loo Family, and Xiao Family, they tried every means to get their hands on an invitation to the party.
Anyway, today the State Guesthouse in Capital City is exceptionally lively. Additionally, it's been tightly secured. They had to increase the security, after all, today's attendees are all high-ranking leaders. A small mistake would be too much for anyone to bear.
And the guests at today's birthday party didn't come alone; they brought their families along, and many brought their children of similar ages too.
