He nodded gently to the attendees and then took her by the hand, leading Gan Yuan to the front of the podium, "Today, I am proud to introduce my new partner, Miss Gaia! Starting from today, she will be responsible for all GM affairs in F Country."
Gan Yuan was shocked and looked at Moses with confusion.
This matter, Moses had not mentioned to her at all. Even if he wanted her to help him with his work, was it necessary to give her the entire company?
Moses didn’t respond to her, but simply smiled and led the applause. Although everyone had their suspicions, they still had to keep up appearances—after all, for this occasion, Gan Yuan was Moses’ guest, and that was a courtesy they had to extend.
Instantly, there was a round of applause.
A moment later, as the applause faded, Moses signaled her with a look, suggesting she say a few words.
"Good evening, everyone." Gan Yuan stepped up to the microphone and looked around at all the attendees, her face devoid of panic or timidity. Before coming here, she had prepared for all eventualities, "I hope I’m not a stranger to you all, as there’s no need for self-introductions. From today onwards, I will be in charge of GM affairs. Please feel free to advise me."
Without any embellishment or pretense, her speech was just a few simple sentences.
It seemed casual, yet it exuded a strong aura.
Yes, I am who I am—what can you do to me?
When she first arrived at the castle, her father had taught her that to earn the respect of others, you didn’t rely on politeness, but on your own strength.
Huangfu Jue had also said that these so-called elites were nothing but paper tigers; they fear you if you are stronger than them.
If she wanted to be successful in her election bid, to return to Huangfu Jue’s side, she would have to grit her teeth and strive forward, crushing anyone who aimed to target her underfoot.
Power is a path laid with thorns. If you want your journey to be more comfortable, you must tread over the corpses of your enemies.
Moses nodded with a smile, very pleased with her performance.
That’s right, this is how it should be. This is the presence that Gaia should command—she should stand above all, not compromising to anyone.
Lifting her hand to assist her down the steps, he led Gan Yuan with a laugh to a silver-haired man of medium stature.
"Gaia, surely this gentleman needs no introduction from me?"
"Of course!" Gan Yuan extended her hand gracefully, "Mr. Governor, I’ve long admired you!"
"It should be I who admires the reputation of Miss Gaia," Dolly said with a smile, shaking her hand and giving her a quick once-over, "Miss Gaia is even more beautiful than in the newspapers."
Gan Yuan smiled calmly, "You appear even younger than when you ran for President eight years ago."
She was no fool, of course—she could tell that he was hinting he was aware of her news.
Her seemingly complimentary remark actually implied that Dolly and the President she had assassinated were not allies.
Eight years ago, Dolly had vied for the presidency with that Mr. President and was defeated. By killing that Mr. President, in a sense, Gan Yuan had avenged Dolly.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend—at least they should be friends.
Between experts, even in conversation, you can sense the measure of one another.
Realizing this young woman was not an easy adversary, Dolly immediately laughed out loud, "Miss Gaia, you’re quite humorous."
Gan Yuan continued to smile, "You flatter me."
"Come on," Dolly took the initiative to lead the way to one side, "Let’s introduce you to some friends of mine."
