Once, I wanted to be a good person

"Yes!" Hundreds of officials responded in unison.

When everyone straightened up, a leading official stepped forward. He gave a slight bow to Bai Zhi and pulled out a thick document from his sleeve, then addressed Bai Zhi, "Family Head, I am Su Jin, the First Commissioner of the Baiyu City Execution Hall, acting on Old Mr. Bai’s orders, temporarily taking over the City Lord’s duties in your absence."

"This document contains the relevant situation of Baiyu City and its affiliated cities during this period, please review it, Family Head."

Bai Zhi took the document and said to the commissioner, "Thank you, Commissioner Su. I will accept the documents for now and review them carefully."

"You can dismiss for now. I will summon you when I need to ask questions."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi’s words, Commissioner Su hurriedly bowed again and replied, "Yes!"

The Bai Family was evidently very prestigious in Baiyu City, so even though Bai Zhi, a junior, became the Family Head, all the city’s officials had no dissatisfaction or disobedience, maintaining respect and compliance throughout.

So when Bai Zhi asked them to leave, they all paid their respects and took their leave in turn.

After these people left, Bai Zhi watched their backs in silence for a moment, then turned to Fang Ze and said, "Being a Family Head is quite enjoyable? Is this how you’ve been living lately?"

Halfway through the sentence, Bai Zhi suddenly realized, "Oh. Right. You just took over the affiliated cities and didn’t have so many people listening to you."
