Chapter 34

Chris rapped on the table, calling for everyone’s attention.

“Everyone, I would like to share some good news with you all. Nolan
Pharmaceuticals. has been looking to increase its share pool, so we are currently
welcoming new investors. Is anyone here interested?”

“New investors?” Everyone’s attention was immediately captured.

Nolan Pharmaceuticals was an industry-leading corporation with very limited
shares available. That was why Chris“ announcement came as a shock to
everyone at the table.

“Hasn’t the company been doing alright, Mr. Nolan? Why the sudden invitation?”
Dahlia asked curiously.

“Of course, it has been. We’ve just been planning to list our company publicly,
that’s why. As everyone knows, our company is not short on talent or the
capability to overcome competition. This share listing is just so we have some
funds to give our employees a good bonus this season.” Chris smiled. “We
haven’t officially announced this to the public yet, and the spots are limited. If
anyone here is interested, we can save some spots for you.

That sure got everyone on board. Nolan Pharmaceuticals could easily bag them
all hefty profits!

“Count me in, Mr. Nolan. I have five million to spare!” James called out eagerly.
“Eight million on me!” Florence followed.

Chris beamed. “Alright, two spots for you guys.

“Hey, I want a share too! You’ve got yourself another three million!”

“Five… five million for me~that’s all my life savings!”

The family started shouting over each other, worried they wouldn’t be able to get
at share. It was a perfect example of herd mentality.

“What about you, Dahlia? How many shares would you like to get?” Chris turned
to Dahlia. “I can give you extra from the pot, given our relationship.”

“I…” Dahlia gave it some thought.

She had learned a lot on her way up to where she was today. Naturally, she knew
not to make decisions based on personal sentiment.

“Don’t you trust me, Dahlia? I’m offering you a share because you’re important to
me. You can say no if you want to—there are loads of other people waiting to get
their share.” Chris huffed lightly.

“I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that I’ll be joining as a shareholder in a company
with the Harmons very soon, so I’m being extra careful with how I’m spending my
funds, just in case,” she explained.

“How much do you have in hand right now?” Chris asked.

“Not much. So million tops.”

“That’s more than enough! To be frank with you, you don’t need that much to
work with the Harmons. Why don’t you consider investing in my company
instead? We pay out really solid dividends each year.”

“He’s right, Dahlia. This is a once—in—a-lifetime opportunity!” Florence cried.
“What are you waiting for, sis? You can trust Mr. Nolan. He’s already helped you
out so many times!” James added.

“If you believe in me, Dahlia, then invest in my company. But if you don’t, it’s fine
too,” Chris finally relented.

“L… Alright then.”

After some hesitation, Dahlia finally nodded. She was only doing this to pay back
the favor she owed Chris, and he had insisted so much that it would be
disrespectful to reject his offer.

This investment wasn’t a bad idea either.

Just like that, Dahlia’s So million dollars were all promised to Nolan
Pharmaceuticals.

“What about you, Dustin? Wanna buy a share?” Chris suddenly asked with a
smirk he didn’t bother hiding.

“Oh, and by the way, one million is the minimum investment amount. You can
have at go at earning big if you have that much as a starter.”

“Thanks, but no thanks.”

“Heh, I see… Are you not interested? Or… don’t you have that much to spare?
How about this: For Dahlia’s sake, I’ll let you have a ten—million share if you can
fork out a hundred thousand dollars at least.” Chris grinned.

Dustin replied nonchalantly, “No, thank you. I have no interest in a company
that’s on

the verge of packing it up.”

That brought Chris’ mood to a shocked standstill.
