George shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I… I just think it’s too much of a coincidence!”

“Coincidence?” Macon snorted and said discontentedly, “As soon as Green fresh group appeared, we lost so many orders. How can it be a coincidence?”

The other regional president thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Macon, as far as I know, the founder of the green fresh group is a woman.”

Macon glanced at him and said unhappily, “I know it too!”

At that time, both Bruce and Peter had reported to him about the situation of the Green Fresh group. Of course, he knew that the founder of the Green Fresh group was a woman.

“Mr. Macon, that woman is nothing, but her husband is!” The president reported to Macon what he had finally found out.

Macon frowned and asked with some doubt, “What do you mean?”

The regional president of country Y said, “Her husband’s company is the third-ranked imperial palace group in the world!”

“What did you say?”Mr. Macon stood up in disbelief and slammed his hand on the table. “How is this possible?” He looked very surprised.

“Mr. Macon, that’s what I found out!” The president of country Y said with a bitter smile, “Actually, it’s very simple to confirm whether it’s true or not. We just need to ask Bruce. Since Bruce has gone to work for Green Fresh Group, he should know the most basic information about their boss.”

George and the other regional presidents immediately agreed, “That’s right. Mr. Macon, why don’t we ask Bruce to confirm it?”

If Green Fresh Group was really backed by the world’s third largest company, imperial group, then it was very likely that royal forest group had encountered a strong competitor. In fact, this backer could even be stronger than them.

The Green Fresh Group was a newly emerged company. Many people would have doubts about their products for now. Perhaps the impact would be small for a while but over time?

They knew almost nothing about the Green Fresh group.

The only thing they could do was to find a way to break through Bruce.

Although Bruce was fired by Macon and banned from the industry, he had worked for the royal forest group for so many years, so he must have some good friends here.

Therefore, how to convince Bruce would depend on these good friends.

After a long day of internal struggle, An Xiaohui looked for Xiao Wang to discuss with her boyfriend whether to let her parents meet with her second uncle’s family.

Xiao Wang thought for a moment and said, “These days, uncle and aunt are very happy to live here. They are also getting along better with us. Also, have you noticed that uncle and aunt are more concerned about you?”

An Xiaohui did not deny it, “Compared to the past, my parents are indeed more and more concerned about me. In the past, they never cared about whether I was tired from work or whether I ate well or not. Before I had a job, they would scold me every day for wasting their money. Ever since I started working, they would ask me for money whenever they saw me. If they had money, they would give me a smile. If they didn’t have money, they would tell me to get lost!”

Xiao Wang held her hand and said with a smile, “Xiaohui, their thinking has undergone a huge change. The idea that a daughter is bad is gone since they’re being influenced by the Xiao Family. Now, the only thing we need to do is to give birth to a grandson.

Xiaohui blushed and said coquettishly, “What are you talking about? I’m being serious.” She remembered that Xiao Wang used to be a simple-minded young man who liked to smile but spoke little. How did he change his personality after dating her?

However, Xiao Wang said seriously, “I’m being serious.”

At this point, Xiao Wang paused and then said seriously, “Xiaohui, shall we get married?”

Xiaohui’s expression froze as she looked at Xiao Wang seriously. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “If we get married, what about your job?” His current job was to protect grandfather Gong’s safety.

Xiao Wang rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. My six-year term for protecting elder Gong is almost up! At that time, I’ll apply to retire and work with you.”

An Xiaohui’s expression froze as she said, “Apply to retire? Didn’t you say that after the term for protecting elder Gong expires, you can transfer to another job?” Furthermore, this new job would be well-paying.

Xiao Wang thought for a moment and asked seriously, “Xiaohui, I just want to be an ordinary person. Will you look down on me?”

“Why would I do that?” An Xiaohui answered without thinking, “I just don’t want you to regret it!”

In fact, based on her previous thoughts, she also wanted Xiao Wang to retire so that they could be together forever. If Xiao Wang chose to be transferred, she would either sacrifice her career and follow Xiao Wang or the two of them would choose to live separately. There was another reason. She did not know where the higher-ups would transfer Xiao Wang, what duties they would assign, whether there would be dangers, and so on. These were all reasons that she pondered deeply.

Therefore, she wanted to form an ordinary family with Xiao Wang and live a normal life.

Xiao Wang smiled and said, “Hehe, as long as you don’t mind, I’ll be at ease! Actually, I just want to form a normal family with you, have children, and live a normal life. As long as the family is happy.”

An Xiaohui blushed and said with a smile, “Well, actually, I think so too!”

With her current job, as long as Green Fresh group didn’t go bankrupt, and she didn’t do anything stupid that went against her conscience and betrayed Green Fresh group, the company would always have a place for her. She wouldn’t have to worry about money.

After hearing An Xiaohui’s words, Xiao Wang appeared excited. He then said, “Then, Xiaohui, have you agreed to my proposal?”

“…” looking at her boyfriend, who didn’t have a ring or flowers, but only a warm and sincere heart, An Xiaohui said with a smile, “Yes, I agree. But, you won’t propose to me just like that, right?”

“Huh?” Xiao Wang was instantly dumbfounded.

An Xiaohui pouted and said, “Silly, don’t you need a ring to propose? Although I won’t go so far as to pursue such a romantic proposal, you should at least prepare a ring, right?”

Hearing this, Xiao Wang’s stunned face turned slightly red, and he said in embarrassment, “I… I don’t know!”

Normally, his task was to protect Old Gong. Even when he was on break, he couldn’t relax at all. Therefore, he really didn’t know about the outside world and all kinds of romantic things.

An Xiaohui smiled and patted his head. She scolded him with a smile, “What a fool!” Then, she said, “Forget it. Since you’re so sincere, I’ll accept your proposal even if you don’t have a ring or flowers.”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang seemed to react. He said, “Xiaohui, wait for me for a while!”

Then, he ran away.

After a while, he ran back again with a silver ring in his hand. He said to An Xiaohui, “Xiaohui, will you marry me?”

He even knelt down on one knee.

An Xiaohui covered her mouth with tears in the corners of her eyes. Then, she reached out her hand and nodded. “Yes!”
