When Anthony saw his daughter rush down to the stage to talk closely with Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan, he couldn't help feeling helpless on the stage and slightly chided, "Nana, what mischief are you up to? Hurry and come back up, we are in a meeting!"
Those family representatives who had come to participate in the competition for distribution rights saw how close Anna was with Xu Hao, and their hearts instantly sank.
Now that General Anthony's daughter was getting along so well with Liu Ruyan and Xu Hao, did they even stand a chance at obtaining the distribution rights?
Upon hearing her father's harsh words, Anna quickly responded, "Daddy, didn't I just tell you? When I was being chased in the alley, it was a young man and woman who saved me. It's them!
You've always taught me to repay kindness, so I took the initiative to agree to hand the distribution rights over to Liu City Corporation. Do you have any objections?"
As soon as Anna spoke, the representatives from the families who had come for the selection became furious.
"How can this be acceptable, to casually hand over the distribution rights like that?"
"Wasn't there supposed to be a qualification selection and a series of assessments? This is so disrespectful to us!"
"Exactly, this is unfair!"
The crowd below was buzzing with noise, but Anthony didn't pay any attention to their uproar. Hearing that Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan had saved his daughter, Anthony hurried down from the stage in a few strides. He quickly walked up to Xu Hao, and grasping his hands, said, "Brother Xu Hao, I really can't thank you enough. If it weren't for your intervention today, I might not have been able to see my only family!"
Years ago, when Anna's mother had started from scratch with Anthony, she died early from taking a bullet for him when Anna was just two years old.
Anthony had raised Anna all by himself, and although he had quite a few women, he never let them bear his child, always protecting Anna wholeheartedly.
In all of Myanmar, everyone knew that Anna was the apple of Anthony's eye, and anyone who dared to touch Anna would face Anthony's devastating revenge.
Xu Hao smiled slightly and said, "General, you are too kind; it was merely a convenient help!"
Next to General Anthony, the middle-aged man who had met with Anna earlier was also present.
The middle-aged man whispered in Anthony's ear, "Boss, I've already investigated; those folks were sent from Huaya Region. Most likely it was some families' men here, trying to use the young lady to threaten you to get the jade distribution rights! Those ten-odd individuals were all knocked down by Mr. Xu Hao!"
Hearing that Xu Hao was so skilled, Anthony sized him up again, thinking that Xu Hao was truly the best candidate for a son-in-law.
However, according to the data, Xu Hao was Liu Ruyan's husband, which was somewhat regrettable. If not for that, Anthony would have really liked Xu Hao to be his son-in-law.
With age catching up to him, Anthony controlled a significant armed force and monopolized some of the largest jade mines in Myanmar, but increasingly felt it was getting more challenging to manage everything, greatly needing someone to assist him.
"Daddy, can we give them the distribution rights? They saved my life—doesn't my life value as much as the rights?" Anna, seeing that Anthony was still undecided, shook his arm as she spoke, simultaneously making a signal to Liu Ruyan with her eyes. Spotanerror?VisittheoriginalpostonM&VLEMPY&R.
Liu Ruyan immediately understood and promptly said, "General, Liu City Corporation surely has the capability to undertake the distribution rights. Our family has been making jade crafts for generations, and we've been planning to move our main base here to Huadu, where our demand is incredibly high…"
Liu City Corporation was the most famous jade craft production base in the Southwest Region, and of course, General Anthony was well-aware of this.
The key point was that Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan had saved his daughter today, and he must repay this favor.
After a moment of thought, Anthony waved a large hand, "Fine, the jade distribution rights for the Huaya Region will be given to Liu Corporation, but I have one condition …"
