Chapter 565: You're Still Young

A soft, measured cough echoed through the grand hall. Though gentle, the sound carried clearly, reaching every ear. Instantly, everyone present fell silent, heads turning toward the source.
It was Old Manager Qian, the Chief Manager of Wangyuelou, wearing a benevolent smile across his aged, lined face. His presence commanded respect without the need for force.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice calm but imbued with authority, "today marks the brewmaster assessment, held once every fifty years by Wangyuelou."
"This evaluation will directly determine the locations of your work assignments for the next fifty years."
He paused for a moment, allowing the weight of his words to settle in. "The contents of this assessment have surely been explained to you by your respective managers. Therefore, we will proceed directly to the main task."
