But few people notice that the Grain Empire Food Company actually developed even better under Maholi''s hands.
If it weren''t for her sharp observation and execution skills, Maholi would not have been able to achieve this.
This can be seen from the reputation of Vincent, Walker''s brother. Vincent had a better reputation than Maholi, but in fact, the decline of the Astor family started with him.
Now, Maholi could speak her mind so uninhibitedly, which was actually a demonstration of her abilities.
"Thank you for your trust, Miss Post," Maholi said with a hint of interest. "I think you won''t take long to make your own decision!"
Smiling, Donnie nodded and responded, "Indeed, I''ve already found a solution, and I''m confident that it will sessfully turn the situation around!"
Maholiughed, "Mr. Block, you''re certainly a very confident man. I''ll be watching with interest then!"
"Regarding your group''s itinerary in Antic City these past few days, Maholi," Donnie said with a smile, "I''ve asked Walker to take good care of you, after all, you two are good friends. I''m sure you''ll have plenty to talk about with such a joyful reunion!"
Walker added with augh, "Maholi, if there''s anythingcking in my hosting, please be forgiving!"
Maholi turned over the challenging task to Walker, and after Donnie returned to the Block Tavern, he did not call Harding.
The other party had not yet provided a definite response, indicating that they were still observing the developments of the situation. Calling Harding at this time might lead to being taken lightly, which would be counterproductive.

For Donnie, the most important thing now was to resolve the influence of the death caused by drinking at Block Tavern; otherwise, it would be difficult to proceed with other matters.
Consequently, Donnie summoned Robert.
"How are the journalists doing?" he asked.
With a rxed smile on his face, Robert replied, "They''ve all been taken care of. These people act invincible, but when troubles fall on them, it''s apletely different story."
Donnie nodded and continued his inquiry, "Has the shipment of liquor from Phdelphia arrived?"
Robert said, "It''s already here, and we''ve moved all of it into our storage!" However, with a hint of pain in his voice, he added, "All that liquor cost us more than twenty thousand US dors."
Hearing that the liquor had already reached Antic City, Donnie felt relieved. Since everyone was eager to see the oue, he was ready to deliver a satisfactory result.
"ording to our n, gather all the journalists tomorrow. Also, tell the broadcastingpany to be ready. Didn''t they say their ratings had been dropping recently? Well, we''ll give them a big headline to cover tomorrow!"
Seeing that Donnie had made up his mind, Robert no longer advised against it, saying, "Alright, I''ll make the arrangements!"
At that moment, the phone on Donnie''s desk rang. Picking up, he learned that was Nucky calling.
"The situation in Trenton isn''t progressing smoothly. As I suspected before arriving here, many congressmen have raised objections, mainly focused on the incident at Block Tavern."
Now that Donnie had prepared everything needed, there was no cause for concern.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Just give me one night, Nucky. By tomorrow morning, I believe their opposition will change. We''ll then be able to transform Antic City into a ce that all American tycoons can''t bear to leave!"
"I must know your n!" After a pause on the line, Nucky spoke up, "Donnie, I need to reassure our supporters tonight, so they will continue to support us tomorrow!"
Donnie did not conceal his n, sharing every detail with Nucky.
After listening, Nucky fell silent again, and after a long while, he spoke up with some excitement, "Donnie, you''re truly amazing. Such a brilliant idea, how did youe up with it?"
With modesty, Donnie replied, "I thought of itst night while using the toilet."
"...Was it that you ran out of paper at the time?" Nucky said.
Having addressed Nucky''s concerns, Walker arrived at the Block Tavern.
"From the look on your face, I can tell you''re asking for a smack," Donnie said, eyeing the smug-looking Walker.
Walker chuckled and didn''t take Donnie''s teasing to heart. Instead, he said, "After hearing what Maholi had to say, I made a point of calling Charlie Chaplin. While he didn''t outright decline to attend the Miss America finals, he subtly suggested that if he could avoid being a presenter, that would be even better."
Clearly, Chaplin, out of regard for Walker''s request, wouldn''t refuse toe to Antic City, yet he preferred not to be too high-profile.
"Having heard this news, I have an even stronger urge to smack you!" Donnie said calmly.
Walkerughed, "Don''t worry. I told Chaplin to keep an eye on the news from Antic City Broadcast over the next couple of days."
Donnie nodded and said, "This incident shows us that while we''ve maintained good rtions with these people, we can only ever be coborators, and we cannot add anything more to this rtionship."
