Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the city government instinctively looked towards its source, only to see a plume of smoke rising from the city government compound. Everyone had the same thought—oh no, something terrible has happened!
This is the city government residence. Anyone who dares to throw a grenade here is making a big fuss, especially since today is the day the oil wells are being auctioned off.
It seems that the grenade came from the public rest room!
Please, please don't let anything happen!
All the municipal staff were mobilized, especially the security personnel, who were the first to rush forward.

Everyone in the room turned to look at An Moxue. She calmly glanced at them, smiled, and nodded. Then she said to the person next to her, "Go, call the police. There are dangerous people here."
Two teams of guards emerged from the room. Eight men left the house, and two walked over to the woman, searching her thoroughly. They then stood up and said to An Moxue, "Miss Jiduo, this woman has no dangerous items on her, no obvious identification, and is currently unconscious."
As soon as the guard finished speaking, another group of people rushed into the room. One person questioned An Moxue, several others questioned the other people, and two people dragged the woman out of the room.
A few minutes later, they came out of the room again. The mayor's secretary came running over, his face covered in a thin layer of sweat, panting heavily, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone. That woman was just an ordinary clerk in the municipal government. The specific details of the matter are still under investigation, and we will definitely give everyone an explanation. Especially Miss Jido, the mayor asked me to convey his apologies to you. Please forgive our shortcomings in our work, and thank you for risking your life to avert danger. Please rest assured, the auction will proceed as scheduled, presided over by the mayor himself."
After the secretary finished speaking, she bowed deeply to everyone before leaving. At the same time, several staff members appeared at the door, clearly in charge of security, and all of them were armed.
At this point, some people realized the dangers of this public auction and the potential risks that the oil well might pose to them.
Some people couldn't help but have second thoughts.
Wealth and status are good.
Can,
You also need to be alive to enjoy it.
Isn't that right?
How could they not be afraid of those aristocratic families?
An Moxue didn't care what those people were thinking!
She felt that this incident must have given her a place in the mayor's eyes, and with this event, she would be able to get many things done in the future.
Her subordinates were all stunned by her actions; she was just too cool!
Does it exist?
When everyone came to their senses and looked at her with starry eyes, she smiled and said, "What? Were you scared? It's alright now, aren't there so many guards protecting you? Don't be afraid."
The guards were all aware of An Moxue's skills and didn't react much, dutifully performing their protective duties and surrounding the company people tightly.
At this point, the manager said, "Chairman, how should we proceed with the arrangements?"
An Moxue smiled calmly and said, "As usual, if something goes wrong, we must take over this oil well. Just think about the vehicles that have been damaged during this time. If I lose the bid, I will be heartbroken. How will I make up for the losses? There were several vehicles involved!"
She didn't lower her voice, and the other people in the room, as well as those around her, looked at her with strange eyes. This Miss Giddens was truly different from ordinary people.
Shouldn't her primary concern be her own safety?
Why are you still concerned about those few cars?
Is she someone who doesn't need those few cars?
Brave!!
As expected of the only person with a female-led company participating in the auction, she's definitely bolder than the others!
The chaos at the city government residence lasted only a few minutes. Once everyone knew what had happened, they went back to doing their own things as usual. Those who didn't know would only think it was an illusion.
The auction was about to begin, and staff members began to enter the venue, while the guards and bodyguards remained outside.
An Moxue only brought the manager and two other people with her.
Once inside, she unexpectedly met a military representative, who, according to his rank insignia, was a major general.
She didn't know what others thought, but she felt that taking over the oil well was a must. The military's involvement would prove the government's determination and the future political leanings of the Osiri government, which would be most advantageous to her.
She had no sense of responsibility as a special agent of the Lan Kingdom. On the contrary, she was glad that when she registered her household in Mongolia, she chose the place where her ancestors had lived. Even if she was investigated later, she could still find the surname and clan of Abaganar. It was not a fabrication.
As for those mineral veins, she only included two locations within her current capabilities. Most of them were located deep in the mountains and forests, which wouldn't be a big problem even in thirty or fifty years. However, since they weren't under her name, she always felt insecure, worrying that one day the resources would fall into the hands of others. As for those within the Lan Kingdom, she wasn't worried about them for the time being.
After everyone was seated, the mayor said only a few words: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today. At the same time, I am also very sorry that an attack occurred at the city government residence. However, I believe that everyone here is not afraid since you are here. Now, the auction will officially begin."
Since the qualification review has been completed, the next step is to see which company is more willing to invest more financially in this oil well, so it's directly a bidding process for the amount of capital.
As the amount increased time and time again, Weiyuan Group did not raise its bid once. It wasn't until it reached the minimum amount that An Moxue had predicted that the manager, after receiving a prompt from An Moxue, raised his bid for the first time. He was really afraid that the chairman would raise it by a large amount at the end, which would mean they would have to spend a lot of money unnecessarily. Raising it little by little would save them some money.
An Moxue didn't hear his inner thoughts, otherwise she would have said, "If you do it that way, you might end up spending even more money. What is psychological pressure?" This is also why she made him raise his paddle only now. There are only a few companies left still bidding, and it's obvious that the others have already given up.
This gives others the impression that it's just a small-scale operation, something I don't care about, but I'm determined to succeed.
When your side raises their paddle, the other side will have the illusion that if you raise the price again, your side will definitely follow, but the other side may not be able to afford it, which puts pressure on the other side psychologically.
Now, only three companies are bidding. The auctioneer calls out, "Hilde Company, seventeen million, once; any more bids?"
He paused, looked around, and then said, "Hilde Company, seventeen million twice, can you keep up? The third time is coming soon! This is your last chance! Seize it!"
An Moxue snatched the sign from the manager's hand and said, "Twenty million!"
Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, everyone looked at An Moxue. The people from Hilde Company hated her even more. She was about to make the third call and the deal was about to be closed. Why didn't she call it earlier? Why did she have to call it at the last minute? It gave people hope and then disappointed them!
After discussing it amongst themselves, the people at Hilde Company ultimately decided against it. Twenty million already exceeded their company's maximum contingency plan of two million, and adding more would be too risky for them.
The auctioneer's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Weiyuan Company, twenty million, anyone bidding?"
