Chapter 30

‘Just a sentence or two and the deal’s sealed?’

Manager Jones was dumbfounded.

After snapping out, he was feeling thrilled. After the end of drafting the agreement, both parties signed and chopped. It was acknowledged! Then, Jasper immediately transferred the 17.28 million into the company’s account. This made Manager Jones so touched that he could feel the heat in his eyes from the tears.

His company’s financial flow had been about to break. If he had failed to get a loan or failed to sell any houses, the company would need to officially announce bankruptcy. However, currently, all the problems have been settled!

Even though he did not earn much, at least he managed to sell off all the houses at Thornton Park.

“Mr. Laine, you really are my life savior!” Mr. Jones grasped Jasper’s hand and said, feeling moved.

Even though John, who was standing aside, was just an observer, he was envious as well. He thought of his annual salary of more than 200,000 dollars. Even though the amount was way larger than any ordinary people’s salary, when compared to Jasper’s money, it seemed so trivial.

Jasper was feeling quite pleased when he got to earn other people’s income while being regarded as a savior.

Although these houses had the potential to have their market value skyrocket in the future, the real estate company would not be able to withstand it until that time came. In history, their company went bankrupt after half a year. This time, Jasper was considered to have saved them.

Hence, Jasper was just doing what he thought was right with no stress.

At that moment, Dickson and Janice who witnessed everything were astonished to the point where they could not speak a word.

Jasper brought Wendy to the entrance. He looked at the branded clothes Dickson and Janice were wearing before saying with a faint smile, “It seems that relying on branded items to show one’s status is not worth anything.”

After speaking, Jasper immediately left the scene without looking at the pale looks on them both.

“You don’t have to see me off, Mr. Jackson. We’ll be taking our leave now.”

Standing beside the BMW, Jasper smiled at John and said.

John said with a sigh, “Mr. Laine, about last night’s crude oil futures—”

“It was me.” Jasper immediately admitted to it.

Hearing Jasper admitting it personally made John’s expression change drastically.

Even though there was enough evidence, hearing it from Jasper himself still made John find it hard to believe.

“Splendid,” said John sincerely.

“It’s just luck,” said Jasper.

John shook his head and said, “Earning 10,000 or 20,000 is luck, but to earn… that much, it’s way beyond luck. You must not know about it, but this morning, the president of the district branch gave me a call and praised me. These blessings are all thanks to you.”

“Brother, you have the abilities. It’s just a matter of time before you get promoted,” said Jasper with a smile.

“I still have to depend on the help from great people, and that person is you,” John said seriously. novelbin

When saying that comment, John felt a pang of guiltiness.

In the days before yesterday, they were both of equal ranking. However, Jasper had now become the country’s number one richest man. John, as the president of the district branch, really got to know someone influential this time.

“Let’s make this clear. We’re both using each other for gains. There are many things I still have to thank you for for helping me out,” said Jasper with a smile and without the domineering vibe that John was worried about.

As someone in such a sensitive position, John had seen plenty of people acting all mighty once they managed to become rich overnight. Whoever they saw, they would act arrogantly, but Jasper was like his usual self and was never proud.

John, who was praising Jasper from the bottom of his heart, chatted with Jasper for a while more. Then, he personally saw him entering the car and left.

Looking at the car, John shook his head and said in an envious tone, “It’s damn good to have money! I’m absolutely envious!”
