However, Jasper did not do so.
He knew how to grasp the overall situation well and pinpoint exactly what the city government wanted.
A person like this was a true talent.
“Alright, I’ll tell everyone the good news at once. It’s getting late, so I won’t take up any more of your
time.”
Jasper smiled. “Work is the priority. I’ll arrange for someone to drive you back,” he said.
Without the need for further instruction, Sean Tucker immediately gestured at a few of his smart-
looking subordinates, and someone accompanied the person in charge out at once.
After the person in charge left, Sean told Jasper courteously, “Mr. Laine, you have such powerful
methods of handling things. Take that person in charge for instance, I thought that you wouldn’t treat
him nicely even if you chose not to point out that they were being greedy by trying to gain all the
benefits without offending us.”
“They’re just doing it because it’s their job. He plays a minor role–the higher-ups are the ones who
made the decision. Besides, the higher-ups tend to consider things from a holistic perspective, so they
naturally wouldn’t care much about our benefits. It’ll be alright as long as we’re clear about what we can
and cannot concede,” Jasper replied in an even tone.
“But Ian Hull and Norman Gardner were clearly targeting us this time around. Despite this, the city
government still decided to give them the right to develop the north bank. I can’t help but get pissed
off!” Sean complained angrily.
Jasper narrowed his eyes and looked at the undulating slopes of the north bank opposite the river. He
suddenly smiled and said, “That may not be a bad thing.”
……
Inside the hotel.
Crash!
Norman Gardner smashed a wine glass against the ground. His face was flushed red due to his
extreme rage.
“F*ck it! Jasper Laine, that b*stard! Does he really think that he’s that important?!
“What did he mean by that? I lived a few decades in vain? How can an immature b*stard in his twenties
say something like that?!”
Ian Hull looked at Norman, who was beyond agitated, and spoke calmly, “That’s enough, Norman.
Being angry serves no purpose. Jasper Laine’s move was indeed something that we didn’t consider.
Your anger won’t change the fact that we lost to him in today’s exchange.”
Norman unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. He took a few breaths before saying, “That’s why I’m
mad about it. This b*stard is way too sly!”
“It’s alright. He just used some small tricks. We had never expected that he would agree to the
construction of the bridge in the first place.”
Ian sneered, his gaze cold and hard. “We should just carry on with the original plan. Commence the
development of the north bank immediately. On the other hand, find a way to mess with the South
Bank!” He said.
“What about the person that I asked you to contact?”
Norman’s anger seemed to reside as he thought of something. A smile formed on his lips. “I looked into
it. Hero Company, which is owned by Mr. Cook, is JW Real Estates’ cement provider, whereas Stellar
Company is their steel provider. Meanwhile, they obtain other masonry and building materials from
distributor companies in Andros,” he announced.
“Stellar Company’s steel and Hero Company’s cement are both top brands within the industry. Jasper
Laine is really willing to splurge on his project.”
Ian chuckled. “Mr. Cook is from Haddock as well. I’ll talk to him later on. As for Stellar Company, I recall
that the vice president there is one of your associates, right? Can you talk to him?”
“We are as close as brothers. I can convince him easily!” Norman snickered.
“That’s great. We should talk to all the other distributors in Andros as well,” Ian said in satisfaction.
“I’ll take away all of Jasper Laine’s construction materials this time. Even if he gets his hands on
something, they’ll all be defective goods. Let’s see how he intends to carry on with the construction
after that!”
