“Mr. Hoff… Mr. Hoffman, you don’t seem to know our company very well. Our company has been losing money for two consecutive years. Are you really going to invest so much money even knowing that?”
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been opposing Freya could not help but shout at Mr. Hoffman excitedly.
When Mr. Hoffman heard this, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he turned his head to look at Connor and said with a smile,”Mr. McDonald asked me to help invest in this company. I believe in his character, and I believe that he won’t lie to me, so I think there shouldn’t be a problem investing in your company!”
“Mr. Connor asked you to help invest?”
When Freya heard this, she could not help but look at Connor again, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise. At this moment, she remembered that Mr. Hoffman was able to come today because of him!
Freya couldn’t help but carefully size up Connor. She was very curious about the relationship between him and Mr. Hoffman; logically speaking, it was impossible for someone like Connor to be acquainted with Mr. Hoffman.
However, at this moment, Mr. Hoffman seemed to believe in Connor and respect him very much.
Connor’s expression was still calm. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the people present. From the beginning to the end, he did not say a word.
“Hahaha!”
At this moment, Cody suddenly laughed out loud. When everyone heard his laughter, they all turned their heads to look at him, their expressions very puzzled.
Cody narrowed his eyes and said to Mr. Hoffman, “Mr. Hoffman, your acting skills are not bad. You almost fooled me just now..”
“My acting skills are not bad?” When Mr. Hoffman heard Cody’s words, he could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he asked with a puzzled expression, “Sir, what do you mean?”
“Yeah, Cody, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Freya felt that Cody was trying to cause trouble, so she quickly stood up and berated him.
“Freya, aren’t you a little too naive? You don’t really think he’ll invest so much money in your company, do you?”
Cody looked at Freya and laughed coldly.
“What do you mean by that? Do you think 1 would lie to you?” Mr. Hoffman could not help but snort coldly.
“You know very well what 1 mean! Aren’t you just cooperating with Connor to put on a show?”
Cody pointed at Connor as he shouted.
“Acting?”
When Freya heard Cody’s words, she couldn’t help but be stunned. She didn’t understand what Cody was trying to do.
“Don’t you understand what’s going on?” Cody shouted at everyone and continued, “This person is not the manager of Empire World Corporation Investment. Empire World Corporation Investment can be said to be one of the top investment companies here. Why would a big company like that take a fancy to a small company like yours? Besides, you should be very aware about your company’s current situation. Do you think Empire World Corporation would be stupid enough to invest in you? And he even said he would invest 100 million! Isn’t this a little too ridiculous?”
After everyone heard Cody’s words, they were all stunned on the spot, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.
Connor looked at Cody with a playful expression. He did not expect Cody to say such a thing in order to get Freya.
Cody saw that Freya and the others did not say anything and continued to shout. “Freya, you should know very well whether what I said just now made sense or not. I don’t think Mr. Hoffman is an investor of the Empire World Corporation at all. He’s an actor that Connor hired to help him act!”
Freya’s eyes were filled with hesitation. She felt that Cody’s words were actually very reasonable. First of all, it was already very suspicious that Connor knew the CEO of Empire World Corporation.
Furthermore, Freya was extremely aware of her company’s situation. Leaving a large-scale investment company like the Empire World Corporation out of the equation, not even investment companies that had a good relationship with her were unwilling to invest in her.
But now, Mr. Hoffman wanted to invest 100 million in Freya. This was unbelievable.
“That’s right, this person is a liar!”
“I didn’t expect Connor to find a liar. How detestable…”
“Connor, it’s fine if you can’t find an investor, but you actually found an actor to lie to us. What do you mean by this?” Maya also believed Cody’s words at this time. She quickly walked in front of Connor and shouted at him aggressively. “What right do you have to say that Mr. Hoffman is a liar?” Connor glanced at Maya and asked her calmly.
“How could a loser like you know someone from the Empire World Corporation? You must have found an actor to deceive us!”
Maya glared at Connor aggressively.
Connor hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Mr. Hoffman. He felt that Mr. Hoffman should have a way to prove his identity.
Mr. Hoffman hesitated for a moment, then said coldly to Cody, “If 1 remember correctly, you should be Mr. Shenaur son, right?”
“Haha…”
Cody smiled coldly and said disdainfully, “I didn’t expect you to be such a professional actor. You even know who I am, but so what? Many people know that I’m Mr. Shenaur’s son. Does this prove that you’re from the Empire World Corporation?”
“Your father, Mr. Shenaur, previously discussed a financing project with our company. Although the amount is not very large, considering your attitude towards me just now, 1 have decided to cancel the investment in your Shenaur family!”
Mr. Hoffman said calmly to Cody.
“Hehe, do you really think you’re the CEO of the Empire World Corporation? The Shenaur family has collaborated with the Empire World Corporation in the past, but those were all large projects worth hundreds of millions. Not to mention that you’re the CEO of the Empire World Corporation; even if you’re the Chairman, you wouldn’t dare to cancel the cooperation with our Shenaur family!” Cody replied with a sneer.

Mr. Hoffman looked at Cody and shook his head helplessly. Then, he said expressionlessly,”I’ve met your father before. You can call your father now and see if I’m the CEO of Empire World Corporation…”
“Geez, you’re still acting with me, right? 1 think you won’t cry until you see the coffin!” Cody sneered at Mr. Hoffman and took out his phone. He wanted to call his father to confirm that Mr. Hoffman was a liar.
At this moment, one of the shareholders said slowly, “Mr. Shenaur, I don’t think you need to call your father!”
“Why?” Cody asked.
“Because I just remembered that I met someone from the Empire World Corporation a few days ago. The person who met with me was the manager of the Corporation, so this person is ioo% fake!” The shareholder said with a smile..
