Chapter 258 The Credit Goes To You
With a flourish, Nathan pulled out a folder and handed it to Penny.
There was a grin on his face as he said, "The mayor felt like the plot of land at Phoenix has no potential
to be a tourist attraction, which is why they changed it to development land just now. Look, these are
the relevant documents."
Everyone was taken aback at his words.
Feeling joy bubble in her yet not daring to hope, Penny took the folder. "Really?"
"I'll never lie to you, Penn," Nathan replied with a warm smile.
Very quickly, she finished reading through all the documents. Elated, she said tearfully, "Oh my god!
You really weren't lying. We can really build our factory in Phoenix. Thank goodness!"
Gaping, the Smiths rushed over and surrounded her, jostling each other as they tried to read the
documents for themselves.
Once they had confirmed for themselves the plot of land at Phoenix had become development land,
they were absolutely dumbfounded.
If the land had remained an ecological reserve, it would not be worth much from an economical point of
view. Even selling it at the low price of five hundred million would not have netted any interest.
However, if it was designated as development land and could be developed...
It was worth two billion at the least!
Having sold it for one billion a few days ago, that would mean Sean was suffering a net loss of one
billion.
The Smiths' faces were ugly as they realized what they had let slip through their fingers. Regret was
too mild a word for what they were currently feeling.
Deciding to bite the bullet, Sean spoke up, "Penny, could we cancel our deal? I'll give you back your
money and you can return
me the land?"
Scoffing, Penny did not even hesitate for a second as she refused, "No!"
Coldly rejecting that unreasonable request, she dragged Nathan with her as she strode out of there.
The embarrassed yet furious looks on their faces were immensely satisfying to her.
Leaving the Smith family home, they drove back to Cross Corporations.
On their way back, Penny could hardly contain her joy as she asked Nathan, "How did you do it?”
Smiling, he answered, "I only made a call to the mayor. He was more than happy to handle this issue."
Eyes wide, she stared at him in fascination and disbelief. Her voice was hesitant as she spoke, "No
way! One call from you and the mayor did all this? Not just anyone can do this, you know. Is there
something you're not telling me?"
"It's true not just anyone can do it. The mayor actually did it because of you."
Even more confused now, she uttered, "Me?"
At his explanation, a look of realization appeared on her face.
Who knew the mayor was so considerate of local companies?
She shot him a dazzling smile as she said, "Well, the credit for all this goes to you. If it were not for you
contacting the mayor so quickly, this matter would not have been resolved so easily." New chаpter

After arriving back at the company, Penny was quick to call a meeting with all the executives to tell
them the good news. The dark cloud that had been hanging over the company vanished and everyone
cheered.
When news got out about how the company had bought a piece of land worth two billion for only one
billion, the company shares would definitely explode again.
With the issue of the land resolved, it was time to prepare for the construction of the pharmaceutical
factory.
