Chapter 34
Chris rapped on the table, calling for everyone’s attention.
“Everyone, I would like to share some good news with you all. Nn Pharmaceuticals. has been lookin
g to increase its share pool, so we are currently weing new investors. Is anyone here interested?”
“New investors?” Everyone’s attention was immediately captured.
Nn Pharmaceuticals was an industry–
leading corporation with very limited shares avable. That was why Chris‘ announcement came as a s
hock to everyone at the table.
“Hasn’t thepany been doing alright, Mr. Nn? Why the sudden invitation?” Dahlia asked curiously
.
“Of course, it has been. We’ve just been nning to list ourpany publicly, that’s why. As everyone
knows, ourpany is not short on talent or the capability to oveepetition. This share listing i
s just so we have some funds to give our employees a good bonus this season.” Chris smiled. “We hav
en’t officially announced this to the public yet, and the spots are limited. If anyone here is interested, w
e can save some spots for you.
That sure got everyone on board. Nn Pharmaceuticals could easily bag them all hefty profits!
“Count me in, Mr. Nn. 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 perf
ect 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 rtionship.”
“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 apany with the Harmons very soon, so I’m
being extra careful with how I’m spending my funds, just in case,” she exined.
“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 mypany 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. Nn. He’s already helped you out so many times!” Ja
mes added.
“If you believe in me, Dahlia, then invest in mypany. But if you don’t, it’s fine too,” Chris finally rele
nted.

“L… Alright then.”
After some hesitation, Dahlia finally nodded. She was only doing this to pay back the favor she owed C
hris, 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 dors were all promised to Nn Pharmaceuticals.
“What about you, Dustin? Wanna buy a share?” Chris suddenly asked with a smirk he didn’t bother hidi
ng.
“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 Da
hlia’s sake, I’ll let you have a ten–
million share if you can fork out a hundred thousand dors at least.” Chris grinned.
Dustin replied nonchntly, “No, thank you. I have no interest in apany that’s on
the verge of packing it up.”
That brought Chris‘ mood to a shocked standstill.
