“You!” Rio’s eyes narrowed and he was about to explode with anger.
Then, Dio spoke slowly from one side, “Dean, I advise you to give up your seat. Haven’t you noticed
that the Haddock Chamber of Commerce is about to become a mess? Everyone’s business has been
sluggish recently and someone needs to come forward and take charge of the overall situation! And
you, who don‘t have as much experience as us, naturally do not have this ability. Therefore, it is the
best choice for you to give up your position.”
“Only in this way will you not let down Old Master Hurlbutt and Haddock Chamber of Commerce!”
Dio was not as overbearing as Rio, but every sentence he said devastatingly criticized Dean.
Dean was silent for a few seconds. He admitted that in terms of management, he was indeed not good
enough. He was miles away from the benchmark, especially compared with his grandfather Gale.
Since the passing of Old Master Hurlbutt, the Haddock Chamber of Commerce had changed a lot.
Many members of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce who were in various industries had suffered
blows and huge losses.
“Yes, the current situation of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce is indeed not very optimistic, and
someone needs to come forward and preside over the overall situation. But this person can only be
me, and is definitely not you!”
Dean smiled lightly.
“Don’t think l don’t know what you guys are up to. Don’t you just want to snatch away my rights and use
the Haddock Chamber of Commerce to make more money? To put it bluntly, you are not doing this for
the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, but for yourself! You are parasites in the Haddock Chamber of
Commerce!”
Rio slammed his hand down on the table and stood up as soon as Dean finished speaking. However,
judging from his posture, it was evident that Dean’s words struck his weak point. It was not a good
feeling to have your true intentions exposed.
“Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?”
Rio took a step forward. The prestige and pressure he was exuding was suffocating. After many years
of fighting in the business world, Rio looked prestigious even when he was not angry, let alone when he
was furious.
“I did,” At this moment, an even more prestigious voice came from the guest room.
“It’s you! J-Jasper, why are you here?” When Rio saw Jasper, he was stunned.
Even though he had some level of authority in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, and he could be
unrestrained in front of Dean, he did not dare to act rashly when he was in front of Jasper. Back then,
when Jasper and the Haddock Chamber of Commerce were fighting hand to hand, the entire
organization was not Jasper’s rival.
Rio was just one person, and he was only in the lumber industry in Haddock Chamber of Commerce,
so who was he compared to Jasper?
They were worlds apart if his business were to be compared to Jasper’s huge commercial empire.
Thus, when he saw Jasper, Rio’s attitude changed immediately.
At this moment, Rio and his gang finally understood that the reason why Dean could be so stubborn
was that Jasper was backing him.
“Mr. Laine, this is just a misunderstanding. If there’s nothing else, that will be all for today. We’ll be
leaving first.”
Rio did not want to interact with Jasper too much. He was acting without justification when he came
here anyway. After all, the current president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, Dean, was an heir
whom Gale elected personally, and it was as orthodox as it came.
“Wait…” At this moment, Jasper’s domineering voice sounded again.
Rio and his gang were slightly stunned, and they could only sigh silently about how unfortunate they
were.
“Didn’t you come here to discuss something with Dean? Go on then, I won’t disturb you guys.”
After he said that, Jasper turned around and went back to the guest room.
‘Continue? Won’t disturb?’
Rio and the gang were stunned. They all knew that although Jasper was saying it so casually and it
sounded seemingly uncaring, in reality, this sentence meant everything. Jasper, on the surface, said he
would not disturb them, but he was already supporting Dean.
They were all old foxes who had been in the business world for many years. If they could not tell what
Jasper was doing, all those years of being in the business world would have been in vain.
“Sit down and let’s continue talking. Weren’t you saying that you want me to give up my position to you
just now?” Dean said with a smile.
“Dean, don‘t think that you can have this position just because you have Jasper’s backing.”
“Listen here, only the members of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce can resolve matters within the
Chamber of Commerce. At the end of the day, Jasper cannot represent the Haddock Chamber of
Commerce. If you simply rely on him, you will only attract more dissatisfaction from the elders of the
Haddock Chamber of Commerce!”
“Hmph, Jasper can only protect you for a while, but do you think he can protect you for the rest of your
life?”
“You just wait and see!”
As soon as Rio said that, he left quickly with his gang.
After the three of them left, Dean looked toward the guest room. It turned out that Jasper had been
staring at them from the door of the guest room.
“Sigh, Mr. Laine, I’ve let you down. I’m nothing compared to those old foxes. I can’t hold them down at
all,” Dean sighed.
However, Jasper smiled in relief, “You did a pretty good job. Those old guys are old foxes who are
good at plotting and scheming in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce. Understandably, you don’t have
as much experience as them so you’re helpless against them.”
Jasper patted Dean’s shoulder. He could see himself in Dean. Back then, Jasper also had to face this
kind of ordeal. Dean sighed and he looked helpless. He had the ability, but right now, it was limited and
it was nothing compared to those old foxes in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.
Right now, Dean had also lost confidence.
When Jasper saw Dean being so dispirited, he smiled faintly.
“Relax, don’t overthink. You have to know that since Old Master Hurlbutt trusted you with this position,
he must have his reasons. Even if you don’t trust yourself, you trust Old Master Hurlbutt’s judgment,
right?”
Looking back on Gale’s life, he had a unique vision, and every decision he made was carefully
considered.
Upon hearing this, Dean raised his head slightly. “Mr. Laine, please rest assured, I won’t be knocked
down so easily and I’ll make them pay!”
Jasper nodded slightly. “Remember, you are the only one who can defeat yourself. This is also my
creed.”
