Chapter 178: Chapter 178

"This Minister's toast is not something just anyone can offer." Feng Zhiwei continued decisively, picking up a pot of wine as she unhurriedly stood. "Frankly, nobody here is qualified to make a toast on my behalf, much less a third generation boy."

Grandfather Yan smiled awkwardly as he stood, but Feng Zhiwei ignored him. She walked down among the tables and poured wine for random guests, smiling as she continued speaking: "Brother Huaishi is different. He and this Minister became friends while we were both nobodies, and if it were not for his full-hearted support, this Minister would not be here. He is a true friend who did not disdain me when I was humble, and he presented the Memorandum to the Emperor and made this new Maritime Department possible. His contribution is immeasurable, and not to mention toasting on this Minister's behalf, he is even worthy of this Minister toasting him."
