Chapter 275 Magnanimity
"What's the deal? Is it really that tough for you to admit I'm the owner of Facebook Live?" Noah asked, a smirk playing on his lips as he eyed Norman and Zack.
Norman and Zack were both shaking, their legs feeling like jelly.
Norman was the first to pull himself together. He took a deep breath, trying to hide his shock, and forced a smile.
"Wow, I never would've guessed. Zack here told me you were just a delivery guy, a nobody. Turns out, you're the big shot behind Facebook Live! He really got that wrong!"
"Mr. Anderson, Zack's been pretty disrespectful to you before. Please, cut him some slack!" Norman said, bowing slightly.
Now that Noah's identity was out in the open, there was no point in being stunned; that wouldn't help.
What they needed to do now was fix Noah's impression of Zack and get on his good side. Norman knew Noah wasn't someone they could afford to tick off.
"Forgive him?" Noah's eyes turned icy. "You think a simple 'sorry' is gonna fix everything? Zack's mocked me plenty. I'm not the forgiving type, and I won't forget this."
Hearing this, both Norman and Zack went pale. Norman's mind raced, and then he gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his hand.
He slapped Zack hard across the face.
"Zack, what are you standing there for? Apologize to Mr. Anderson!" Norman shouted. "You idiot, how dare you offend him! Because of you, our family's sponsorship of 'I Am a Super Rich' fell through!"
"Uncle Norman..." Zack was stunned, not expecting Norman to hit him.
"Apologize!" Norman slapped him again.
Zack gasped in pain, his cheeks burning. Both sides of his face were swollen and red. The slaps snapped him out of his shock.
The past was the past, and there was no point dwelling on it. The fact was, Noah was indeed the owner of Facebook Live.
Noah's word could determine whether the Anthony family could continue sponsoring 'I Am a Super Rich.' This sponsorship was crucial for the Anthony family's attempt to transition from traditional steel to modern internet industries.
The steel industry was struggling, especially with the government's push for environmental policies. The Anthony family had already been forced to close several steel plants due to failing environmental standards, leading to poor financial performance.
The family placed great importance on this transition. If the higher-ups found out that Zack's offense had cost them the sponsorship, they would be furious, and Zack would be in serious trouble. He had to apologize and ensure Noah allowed the Anthony family to sponsor the show again.
"Zack, why are you still standing there?" Norman glared at him, raising his hand again.
"I'll apologize, I'll apologize!" Zack blurted out. He looked at Noah, bowed his head, and spoke respectfully. "Mr. Anderson, I was really out of line before. Please, forgive me this once."
"It's not impossible," Noah said calmly. "But there are conditions."
Noah had never taken Zack seriously. He only said those things to set his conditions.
"What conditions? Mr. Anderson, just say the word," Norman said immediately. "As long as you forgive the Anthony family and let us sponsor 'I Am a Super Rich' again, we'll agree to any condition, as long as it's within our power."
Noah ignored Norman's little schemes and said, "My condition is simple. I want to establish a logistics partnership with the Winchester family in Oceanbridge City, but they've been reluctant. I need you to help mediate and speak on my behalf. After all, you guys are familiar with each other as part of the four major families."
Hearing Noah's condition, both men sighed in relief.
"Mr. Anderson, that's a small matter!" Norman said with a smile.
"Yeah, just a minor task," Zack added with a chuckle. "If Gideon from the Winchester family knew who you were, he'd probably come begging to work with you."
"Keep my identity confidential for now," Noah said, waving his hand. "If I need help, I'll reach out to you."
"Understood!" they both said in unison.
"By the way, Mr. Anderson, about our sponsorship of 'I Am a Super Rich'?" Norman asked.
"You can continue sponsoring. Nathan, add them back to the group," Noah said calmly.
"Yes, Mr. Anderson." Nathan nodded.
Hearing this, Zack and Norman were overjoyed. They hadn't expected Noah to be so accommodating. They could now report back to the Anthony family with good news.
"One more thing," Noah said, looking at Zack. "Regarding what happened at the Edward Villa, I want you to explain it to Anna. You know what to say."
"Of course!" Zack said with a smile.
"Alright, you can leave now," Noah said calmly.
Zack and Norman exchanged glances and then respectfully said to Noah, "We'll take our leave, Mr. Anderson."
After leaving Facebook Live headquarters, Norman sighed. "Who would've thought Noah was the owner of Facebook Live? And it seems not many people know this. The other three major families probably don't know either. If we build a good relationship with him now, it could bring significant benefits to the Anthony family in the future."
"Exactly!" Zack nodded. "I was shocked when I saw Noah sitting in that chair. We've had our differences, but he put that aside and let us sponsor 'I Am a Super Rich' again. I really admire his generosity."
"Alright, let's head back and report this to the higher-ups," Norman said with a smile. "We owe Noah our thanks for letting us sponsor the show again. This lifts a huge burden off our shoulders."
