Chapter 2031 The Seal of Clan Promise, The Path to Heaven
Whether it was Li Xiangnan, the surrounding neighbors, or the people from the Jiang, Qin, and Song families, all eyes were on Yu Haoran.
Of course, Yu Haoran saw all of these glances and reactions.
Of course, as the head of the Yu family, he did not explain immediately. Instead, under Li Xiangnan's eager gaze, he personally stepped forward and took the file from Song Cijiu's hand.
He carefully unwound the cotton thread from the kraft paper bag and pulled out a document with only a few pages.
"what is that?"
Wang Defa was both curious and confused, and couldn't help but grab Song Ziming's arm.
Song Ziming was somewhat familiar with the Jiang family's things, after all, he had studied and came from a prominent family, so he naturally knew the importance of that copy of the Book of Rites.
But at this moment, upon hearing his good friend's question, he also showed the same confusion.
"You don't know either?"
When Wang Defa asked this, Song Ziming chuckled and nodded generously, "I really don't know! My uncle's family... is so big and powerful, I really can't guess what they would send!"
"Tsk, if you can't even figure it out, then I guess I'll just have to..." Wang Defa clicked his tongue and turned his gaze to Yu Haoran's hand.
Seeing his extremely solemn expression, she subconsciously held her breath.
At this moment, Yu Haoran had already taken out those few pages of documents. The cover of the documents caught the attention of many people, as it still bore the same dark red seal.
To everyone's surprise, after picking up the document, Yu Haoran did not rush to open it. Instead, he turned the cover with the seal towards everyone and spoke in a low but clear voice, as clear as a stone falling to the ground, instantly suppressing all the commotion and speculation.
"Everyone!"
With just those two words, the aura emanating from the head of the Yu family was immediately released, and the entire place fell into a deathly silence.
Yu Haoran's gaze slowly swept over everyone, finally landing on Li Xiangnan's face. His eyes were extremely solemn, even carrying a rare sense of dignity.
"This gift from my Yu family is neither gold nor jade, nor an antique or a toy. It is a letter of commitment, a letter of commitment from the Yu family to Xiao Xitang of the Li family! The seal on it is the highest-ranking clan seal of my Yu clan!"
"What the heck? What does that mean?"
"I don't quite understand either. What is this seal that Grandpa Yu is talking about? What does it represent?"
"Does it mean a promise? A promise to give it to the Li family? What does that mean?"
"Shh, don't speak yet, let's hear what Old Master Yu has to say?"
As soon as Yu Haoran finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out on the spot.
However, after the discussion, people's expectations were instantly aroused. Everyone hoped that Grandpa Yu could quickly explain what this promise meant, and they eagerly focused their attention on him.
Yu Haoran paused, and when he spoke again, he sounded even more sacred, as if he wanted to etch his words into the hearts of everyone present.
"From this day forward, Li Xiangnan's daughter, Li Xitang, is officially recognized by the Yu family as a 'family member of a long-standing friendship'! This status is not just a title, but a promise!"
"???"
Everyone felt a slight jolt, their breathing quickened, and they all sensed that what Old Master Yu was about to say was the most important and shocking thing they would hear today.
Yu Haoran indeed turned to the first page of the document, which contained neatly formatted clauses typical of documents printed by government agencies.
He didn't read out the specific content, but instead went straight to explaining the core points.
"This promise has three parts. First, access to resources."
"Once Xitang comes of age, if she intends to dedicate herself to fields such as scientific research, engineering, medicine, and military industry that the country needs, she can obtain the full recommendation and guarantee of the Yu family by presenting this letter of commitment!"
"She can consult with seven top-level classified laboratories and fourteen core research institutes in China, as well as fifty-six authoritative experts with high reputations in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the military industry! She can also access some classified technical databases that have been declassified or can be declassified upon application!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, speechless with shock at Old Master Yu's words.
However, Yu Haoran did not pause, but continued, "The second thing is the network of connections!"
"The extensive network of contacts accumulated by the Yu family over generations, spanning various fields, can be used by Xiao Xitang, provided it complies with regulations and does not involve confidential information! When she encounters technical difficulties, academic bottlenecks, project obstacles, or other issues, the Yu family can step in to coordinate and build bridges for her communication!"
boom!
Doesn't this mean that the Yu family's connections are equivalent to Li Xitang's connections?
Thirdly!
While everyone was stunned and their scalps tingled, Yu Haoran still didn't stop speaking.
"It is our responsibility to protect her! If happy Tang encounters criticism or injustice because of her academic research or technological innovation, as long as her behavior is moral and she is loyal to the country, the Yu family will provide her with the necessary support and protection based on this promise and the family's reputation!"
The three promises are all clearer and more weighty than the last!
When Yu Haoran finished speaking the last point, there was no sound of breathing to be heard at the entrance of the courtyard!
Everyone, including Li Xiangnan himself, felt as if an invisible hand was gripping their throats, and their minds went blank!
This is not a gift!
This is...it's a key!
A key that can unlock the most core, cutting-edge, and secretive halls of science and academia!
It is also a network, an incredibly solid network of human relationships and resources woven by the unsung heroes of the Republic!
It is also a shield, a protective shield forged with the century-old reputation of the entire Yu family, enough to help Li Xitang withstand wind, frost, rain and snow!
The exquisite ivory pen holder with floral carvings from the Ming Dynasty, which the Song family just gifted, is a symbol of wealth, priceless, and can be passed down through generations!
The Song Dynasty edition of the Book of Rites given by the Jiang family carries the cultural heritage, is profound and weighty, and can be used to enlighten the mind.
But they are all "objects," static, representing past glories!
So what the Yu family gave was "power"!
It is fluid, it is the infinite possibility of the future!
This is the path to heaven that countless people yearn for and dream of!
Yu Haoran's words had been out for a few seconds.
In those few seconds, no one spoke, no one made a sound, and no one discussed anything.
Because everyone was so moved by these three promises, they followed Yu Haoran's train of thought into the future, and even automatically put themselves in Li Xitang's shoes.
If I were Li Xitang...
So, for me, these three promises from the Yu family meant that the entire Yu family, which had stood behind me for a century, was behind me!
hiss!
Such a promise is an absolutely tremendous benefit!
Everyone was so shocked by the outcome of this role revelation that they felt their scalp tingle and remained speechless for a long time...
