Female Novel
Chapter 50 Investments
Everyone else in the office was astounded at these men trying to one-up each other. They had seen
people fighting over items on sale, but never had they seen people fighting over the chance to invest in
someone. Free of interest and without taking a percentage of the profits too.
Realizing that Penny seemed to be a little lost at the enthusiasm of the various presidents, Nathan
coughed lightly to get their attention. "There's no need to fight. All of you can only invest one hundred
million, nothing more. Also, this can't be a free investment. All of you need to take the profit that's
rightfully yours."
Liam nodded his head vigorously, "Yes, yes. You're right, Mr. Cross, we shall do as you say."novelbin
Staring at the men lined up before her waiting to invest, Penny wondered if she was dreaming.
Samuel, on the other hand, was close to fainting in anger as his blood pressure skyrocketed.
Regaining her composure, she moved forward to handle the contracts for the investments.
In the blink of an eye, she had seven hundred million. Cross Corporation's financial crisis was solved.
Watching all this from the sideline, Samuel had a dark look upon his face.
Originally, he had planned to swoop in when Penny was at her most desperate so he could demand
ridiculous terms. He would then use this opportunity to snatch the wealth that would arise from this
project for himself.
In a surprising twist of events, all these corporate presidents were now clamoring to invest in her. His
harsh conditions earlier had become a mere joke.
Ashamed to stay any longer, he left feeling deeply disappointed.
Once Liam and the other men finished signing their contracts, they politely refused Penny's offer of
lunch. Before they left, they even specifically bid their goodbyes to Nathan.
Several seconds after the men trooped out of the office, the Head of Finances, Jacob Fowler, rushed
into their office.
There was a gleeful look on his face as he told Penny, "President Smith, those presidents really work
fast! They had only just signed the contracts and the funds have already been transferred into our
account. We don't need to worry about money anymore!"
Once again, Penny wondered if she was going to wake up from this dream. She could not believe that
the problem that she had been agonizing over for so long was so easily resolved.
She smiled at Jacob. "Now that we have the funds, we have to work hard to ensure that this project is
done well. We can't let our investors down!"
The man gave an excited 'Yes, ma'am' before he exited the office.
Now that there was only her and Nathan left, she turned to look at him appraisingly.
Feeling uncomfortable at her scrutiny, he asked, "What?"
She huffed, "Nathan Cross! Are you going to explain yourself or what?"
His lips twitched slightly as he questioned, "You mean what happened just now with the sudden influx
of investors?"
Rolling her eyes, she gave him a 'duh' look. "You think?"
Shrugging, he explained, "It's simple really. I personally visited several of them a couple of days ago
and told them about the prospects of our project. Once they had finished hearing what I had to say,
they were pretty interested. After some careful thought, they'd decided to come to invest. Although, I
must say I had not expected Director Harrison and George Miller to come.”
Still not entirely convinced, she eyed him suspiciously. "You actually managed to convince them?
That's impossible! The last time I visited them, they did not seem to have any interest in investing at
all!"
Nathan chuckled as he replied, "That's because you went at it the wrong way."
