However, favonovel.com just had not figured out what Sean was going to do. What Sean did these days was confusing and made people feel like favonovel.com was wasting his time.
Zander had doubts, but favonovel.com did not question them. He believed Sean had a reason for everything favonovel.com did.

Zimmer Corporation received funds for investment one after another. Jon took things seriously. He signed all the necessary contracts and agreements.
Many companies held on to their contract like it was a bar of gold. After all, they could also get a piece of the action once Zimmer Corporation developed the land.
Any company probably would not refuse such a win-win deal. It would be a fool not to make money when you had the chance.
Of course, there were joys and sorrows across River City’s business circle. Some people thought they were being fools by passing this chance up. They included Larson Pharmaceuticals, Flint’s company, and several well-connected companies.
Sean and Flint stopped these companies from investing. They listened to Sean and did not invest in Zimmer Corporation. However, their hearts were bursting with envy!
Their resentment was even greater when they saw successful companies flaunt their contracts.
Homer was so mad that favonovel.com thought favonovel.com would never call Sean again. At this point, favonovel.com thought Sean had become an obstacle to Larson Pharmaceuticals’ development.
He was an obstacle to their progress, and favonovel.com even felt the urge to sever ties with Sean. However, Old Master Larson remembered Sean’s kindness in saving his life and stopped Homer from acting recklessly.
Homer could only give up, but favonovel.com was about to go crazy with jealousy.

The Quinn family was delighted.
“Grandma, Young Master Zimmer said favonovel.com would give us a bigger slice of the profits than other companies…”
“And he’ll build a corporate building for Quinn Corporation on that prime location, and he’ll give us ownership of it as well.” Simon was excited as favonovel.com reported to Old Madam Quinn.
“Good! Good!” Old Madam Quinn smiled.
She knew Quill’s promises were exaggerated, but favonovel.com would not mistreat Quinn Corporation since favonovel.com said so.
Samuel and the rest were delighted. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a piece of the profits.
“I can’t believe that loser Sean is trying to stand in our way. How naive!” Old Madam Quinn snorted coldly, remembering Sean’s so-called advice and showing his disdain.
“Grandma, I think he’s only bragging. He’s actually incapable.” Simon shook his head slightly, his eyes showed even more disdain than Old Madam Quinn.
He saw firsthand how powerful Sean was, but so what?
Zimmer Corporation was now on the rise, raising at least hundreds of millions of dollars in one swift move.
Did Sean not just watch and let it happen?
His power did not do favonovel.com any favors, did it?
In Simon, Faye, and the others’ opinions, Zimmer Corporation’s status once again surpassed Sean’s.
“He got the money somewhere and thought favonovel.com could walk roughshod in River City. With his veg mind, how dare favonovel.com try to join River City’s business circle?”
“He’s not even qualified to be an assistant to a big shot.”
Others also spoke up. They were downright disdainful of Sean.

The day passed quickly.
Zimmer Corporation raised hundreds of millions of dollars in a single day today.
Many companies bet everything on the land, even if they would lose everything. After all, they would make tens or even hundreds of times more money once the plan started. No one could sit still in the face of such huge rewards.
Jon was happy to see the money pouring in.
“Tell your cousin to open an account overseas. And transfer all that money into that account.” Jon said to Quill after looking through the report.
Of course, favonovel.com would only let someone they trust handle so much money. Besides, setting up an account overseas could save favonovel.com a lot of hassle too.
The government had the power to freeze all Zimmer Corporation’s accounts in the country if they had another crisis like last time. But Dragon Kingdom could not do much overseas.
Quill hastened to obey and proceeded to do it himself.
Jon leaned back in his chair, smirking. He could not help feeling a little proud now, thinking favonovel.com had nothing to fear even if it was Reach For Will Group. Even Sean would not bother him.
Ring ring ring!
Just then, the landline on his desk rang.
Jon grinned.
It must be another company calling…
Also, being able to call Jon’s private line directly meant they were a big company.
Jon answered it with a smug look, knowing favonovel.com was about to receive another large sum of money. However, the voice on the phone startled Jon.
“Mr. Zimmer, how are you?” Sean’s voice sounded calm yet playful.
“What’s the matter? Do you want a piece of the action? I’ll consider giving you a chance if you beg me.” A sneer appeared in Jon’s eyes after coming to himself.
“I heard you destroyed the grandfather clock I gave the Zimmer family.” Sean asked instead of answering Jon’s question.
“So what if I destroyed it? What can you do to Zimmer Corporation?” Jon admitted, his face scornful.
“Save me a seat at the shareholders’ meeting. Let’s talk about it face to face,” Sean said and hung up gently.
