At this moment.
Freya slowly raised her head and fixed her gaze on Connor.
She originally thought that he was just bragging, but now that Thomas had come personally, it meant that Connor was not bragging at all. What he said was true!
At this moment, Maya’s mouth was wide open as she watched the scene in a daze. Her expression was one of shock. She never thought that Connor would really know Thomas. Maya didn’t know how to describe her feelings now.
However!
At this moment, Cody was the most shocked!
He widened his eyes and looked at Connor and Thomas with a dumbfounded expression.
He felt sick with regret now. If Connor really knew Thomas, then it meant that Mr. Hoffman’s identity was real! If Mr. Hoffman was really the CEO of the Empire World Corporation Investment Company, then his statement of wanting to cancel the collaboration with the Shenaur family was true!
Thinking of this, Cody’s face turned pale.
This was because his father had worked hard to negotiate the collaboration between the Shenaur family and the Empire World Corporation. If he found out that this investment was lost because of him, Shen Guoyuan would probably beat Cody to death!
“Thump thump thump…”
Just as Cody was thinking about how to salvage the situation today, footsteps came from outside the conference room again.
“Bang!”
Soon, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.
A middle-aged man with an oily face rushed into the meeting room.
When Cody saw the middle-aged man, he was stunned on the spot and said with an extremely frightened expression,”Dad, why are you here?”
The middle-aged man who came in was none other than Cody’s father, Shen Guoyuan.
Shen Guoyuan was working in the company just now when he suddenly received news that the Empire World Corporation had canceled their investment in their company.
This investment was crucial to the Shen family. Once the Empire World Corporation canceled the investment, it would mean that all the Shen family’s investment in the early stage would be wasted.
Shen Guoyuan quickly contacted the people of the Empire World Corporation Investment Company and asked them why they canceled the investment in the Shen family. In the end, he found out that it was because Cody had offended the general manager of the Empire World Corporation Investment Company, Mr. Hoffman.
That was why Shen Guoyuan rushed over.
“Dad…You … Why are you here?”
The moment Cody saw Shen Guoyuan, he had already guessed what had happened. He asked with a very nervous expression.
“You prodigal, I’ll beat you to death!”
Shen Guoyuan didn’t care about anything else. He directly rushed in front of Cody and raised his hand to slap Cody’s face.
“Pa!”
There was a loud bang.
Cody was sent flying by Shen Guoyuan’s slap and fell to the ground with a thud.
Freya stared at Cody with her big, watery eyes, her expression extremely surprised.
First, Thomas appeared, and then Shen Guoyuan. Both of them came to his company, which could only mean one thing!
Connor did not lie from the beginning, and Mr. Hoffman was indeed the CEO of the Empire World Corporation!
“Dad, why did you hit me?”
Cody covered his flushed face and shouted at Shen Guoyuan with an aggrieved expression.
“You little bastard, you only know how to cause trouble outside all day long. You even dare to offend Mr. Hoffman. Do you think you’re too old?”
As soon as Shen Guoyuan finished speaking, he reached out and slapped Cody’s face again.
Cody received another slap, and his white face instantly swelled up like a pig’s head.
He knew that he must have gotten into some big trouble today. Otherwise, Shen Guoyuan would not be so angry.
Originally, in Cody’s eyes, Connor was just a poor loser who delivered food.
However, he only realized now that Connor was not as simple as he thought.
How could a loser who delivered food know people like Thomas Mr. Hoffman?
“Mr. Hoffman, I’m really sorry about what happened today. It’s all my fault for not disciplining my son properly and letting my son offend you!”
After Shen Guoyuan slapped Cody twice, he said to Mr. Hoffman with a very humble expression.
“It’s okay. I won’t argue with such a person!”
Mr. Hoffman said lightly.
“Then, Mr. Hoffman, what do you think about the Empire World Corporation’s investment in the Shen family?”
Shen Guoyuan asked with a smile.
“You’re still thinking about investing at a time like this?”
Mr. Hoffman couldn’t help but sneer. Then, he said expressionlessly,”I’m already being kind by not arguing with the Shen family about this matter. From today onwards, the Shen family will no longer have any cooperation with our Empire World Corporation!”
“Mr. Hoffman, you…You…”
“Clang!”
When Shen Guoyuan heard this, he felt his vision darken. Before he could finish speaking, he fainted on the ground.
Now that the Shen family had offended the Empire World Corporation, it was not as simple as losing the opportunity to cooperate with them. All the enterprises in Porthampton knew what kind of existence the Empire World Corporation was.
If any company offended the Empire World Corporation, no company in Porthampton would cooperate with them anymore.
Therefore, Mr. Hoffman’s words were undoubtedly a death sentence for the Shen family!
Cody looked at Connor’s position with a dull gaze, the expression on his face was very ugly.
He had never thought that just because of his words, the Shen family would be in such a state.
As long as one offended the people of the Empire World Corporation in Jiang City, they would not have a good ending.
The shareholders in the meeting room looked at Connor, Mr. Hoffman, and the others with lifeless eyes. They were very nervous.
“It’s not just the Shenaur family. From today onwards, everyone here will no longer have any cooperation with the Empire World Corporation!”
Mr. Hoffman’s next sentence directly sentenced everyone in the meeting room to death!
The shareholders who were previously gloating were instantly dumbfounded when they heard his words.
Cody was the mastermind of today’s incident, and the others were accomplices. The reason why Mr. Hoffman did this was mainly to please Connor. He knew that Connor was his real boss, and Thomas was just his subordinate.
Apart from humiliating Connor, they had also humiliated Mr. Hoffman. And Mr. Hoffman had always been very dissatisfied with the situation, so he took the opportunity to take revenge.
Freya stared at Mr. Hoffman’s position with her big, watery eyes, a complicated expression on her face.
Only now did she understand how terrifying the Empire World Corporation was. Mr. Hoffman’s words could scare these people to this extent.
“Mr. Hoffman, I beg you, please give us a chance! We didn’t mean to offend you today!”
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had mocked Connor the most quickly ran in front of Mr. Hoffman and knelt on the ground.
“That’s right, Mr. Hoffman. I beg you, give us a chance!”
The other shareholders also stepped forward and knelt in front of Mr.
Hoffman, begging him. At this moment, they had completely given up their dignity for a chance to live.
Thomas wasn’t in the mood to watch these people put on such a pathetic show. He turned his head and asked Connor quietly, “Mr. McDonald, do you think 1 still need to invest in Miss Phillips’s company?”
When Connor heard this, he slowly turned his head to look at Freya.
She stared back at him with wide eyes.
Their eyes met.
Connor’s mood started to become a little complicated!
If Freya hadn’t chased Connor away or said those nasty words to him, he would definitely have asked Thomas to invest. However, her bad attitude just now really made him angry. Connor did not know what to do now..
