Salute to the General novel Chapter 50

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."

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.
