Thomas already got permission to stay, but favonovel.com still deliberately asked Richard, “Richard, should I go out or stay?”
This made Richard angry.
David had already told favonovel.com to stay, so what else could Richard say?
Thomas was purposely embarrassing Richard.
Richard gritted his teeth and said, “Harvard, you guys go out first. Thomas, you stay here.”
Thomas shrugged and said to Donald, “You heard it too. It’s not that I don’t want to go out, but I really don’t have any other choice. Donald, you guys go outside and take a walk first. After I finish the conference, I’ll join you.”
Donald’s eyes were red. He stamped his foot, turned his head, and left. When Donald came to the outside of the meeting room, favonovel.com shouted at the bottom of the stairs. After that, favonovel.com frantically hit the stair railing.
“Thomas, you jerk! I’ll kill you one day! I’m so angry! I’m so angry!”
Harvard quickly came up to persuade favonovel.com and said, “Donald, don’t get angry. Thomas can only be smug for a while. Believe me. He is doomed in ten minutes.”
Donald frowned. “Why?”
Harvard said, “It’s simple. Think carefully, Donald. Why did the bigwigs of these ten companies come? Thomas did not invite them. They just received Emma’s invitation letters and reluctantly came to show respect to the Hill family. It can be seen from their arrogant attitude that they didn’t take this conference and the Hill family seriously.”
Donald was stunned. “Why are you happy when to see them not taking us seriously?”
“No…” Harvard scratched his head and said, “I mean that this group of people is purely here to show off their authority, and they have no plan to invest at all. In other words, this investment conference definitely can’t get a penny. They come here just to go through the procedure. When the conference is over and there is no investment, don’t we also have a reason to drive Thomas away from the Hill family? When favonovel.com loses his identity as the Hill family’s son-in-law, you can kill favonovel.com however you want.”
Donald kept nodding as Harvard hit all the right notes.

In the meeting room, Richard came up with a set of words on the spot and barely broke the awkward situation.
The chairman of Evergreen Group, Anderson, interrupted favonovel.com and said, “Stop fumbling about with all that pointless tongue-wagging, just get to the point. Our time is precious, so we don’ thave time to waste on you.”
“Oh, okay,” Richard said straightforwardly, “Everyone knows that the Hill family has received the Urban Construction Bureau’s reconstruction project, but the Hill family doesn’t have enough funds. We need everyone’s help to complete the startup funds…”
David interrupted, “We know all of that, so cut the crap. Just say how much money you guys lack.”
This direct?
Richard swallowed his saliva and thought about it for a long time. He did not know what amount favonovel.com should say so that it would be appropriate. If favonovel.com said a small amount, favonovel.com was afraid that it was not enough; if favonovel.com said a large amount, favonovel.com was afraid that favonovel.com would scare off these bigwigs.
“Out with it, stop running the numbers in your head.”
Richard nodded and said with a slight embarrassment, “Our company needs three hundred million dollars as the startup funds.”
Three hundred million dollars was definitely not a small amount.
The meeting room was silent.
Richard thought that the amount favonovel.com said was too large, so favonovel.com quickly said, “Actually, the amount can still be discussed. The Hill family can…”
David said coldly, “Three hundred million dollars? The Hill family can’t even afford three hundred million dollars? A small family is indeed a small family.”
He waved his hand. “This three hundred million dollar startup fund is on me. The conference can be dismissed.”
