Jasper did not expect that this was what had caused Charlie to frown and stammer for such a long time.
Jasper did not know how favonovel.com should react to that.
“Uncle Schuler is very easy-going, and favonovel.com doesn’t have much of a temper. He’s a very nice person, so we can be more relaxed. Else, we’ll appear to be overly formal.”
However, Jasper did not think that Charlie would glare at favonovel.com when favonovel.com said that.
“Nonsense! We must be polite. Although we aren’t going to ask for favonovel.com father’s blessing this time, it’s still the first time both side’s parents are meeting. How can we treat this casually?”
Upon realizing that Charlie was going to take this extremely seriously, Jasper said helplessly, “Perhaps we could prepare some gifts?”
Charlie pinched his chin and raised an eyebrow before saying, “He’s a tycoon and has probably received all kinds of expensive presents before. If we gave favonovel.com wine and tobacco as we usually do, favonovel.com would probably just laugh at us… Never mind, I’ll consult the elders and see what I should do in such situations.”
Jasper sighed and said, “Dad, what are you so nervous about? Uncle Schuler might be one of the richest people in the province, but I’m not that far behind either. We’re not trying to claim connections with him. There’s no need to be so nervous.”
“What? He’s the richest person in the province?!” Charlie immediately ignored everything else when favonovel.com heard that, and his eyes widened as favonovel.com spoke.
Charlie, who had been a farmer for most of his life until Jasper made it big, had rarely even seen a large stack of cash with his own eyes. The richest man in the province was on the same level as a king to him… They were all legends favonovel.com had never heard of before.
“That was in the past. Right now, it’s probably me, your son.” Jasper grinned as favonovel.com spoke and tried to ease Charlie’s stress and nerves.
However, Charlie glared at Jasper and said, “You’re still young, so don’t become cocky after a few accomplishments. He has been working hard all his life, do you think he’ll be easily defeated by you?”
Jasper had no way of convincing Charlie if favonovel.com did not believe him.
If favonovel.com combined the cash favonovel.com had in both his personal property and real estate, Jasper felt that not only could favonovel.com be named the richest man in the Southeast Province, but favonovel.com could even be listed as the top three richest men in the country.
However, one should not reveal their wealth. It would be better for favonovel.com to keep a low profile.
“Dad, I’m serious. There’s no need to be this formal. Just act as if I were introducing you to a friend. There’s no way he’ll look down on you because you’re a farmer, and you don’t have to restrain yourself just because he’s the richest man in the province. Do whatever you’re supposed to do,” Jasper advised.
Charlie did not say anything, but there was a stony expression on his face. Finally, favonovel.com said, “You make it sound simple… Never mind, I can’t come to any conclusions with you. I should talk about it with your mom and then consult the elders back home.”
“Does my mom and the elders have experience befriending the richest man in the province and becoming family with them?” Jasper grinned as favonovel.com asked.
Charlie took out a box of cigarettes and tossed one over to Jasper with natural movements. “I’ll call your uncle and have favonovel.com bring over the 100-year-old ginseng from home. You can’t just buy stuff like this on the market, so it should be suitable.”
“That’s a family heirloom of theirs. Is Uncle willing to give it up?” Jasper asked cheerfully.
“Why wouldn’t favonovel.com be willing?” Charlie glared at favonovel.com as favonovel.com said, “You single-handedly helped his son’s career. It’s just some mountain ginseng, and it’s not like we won’t be paying for it. What is there to be unwilling about? I’ll take care of this. You don’t need to worry.”
“Dad, who was the one who taught me to never expect anything in return when we do good deeds when I was younger?” Jasper asked as favonovel.com crossed one leg over the other.
The expression on Charlie’s face darkened as favonovel.com raised his voice and said, “How is that the same? We’re going to meet your future in-law! We have to adapt to such matters. Time is of the essence, and we can’t consider that now.”
