“It’s true that as the general manager of the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments, favonovel.com has the right to lower your commission fee. However, this is also money that Colossal should receive, so favonovel.com needs to provide a reasonable excuse for such a decision. One that neither she, nor you, has provided thus far.
“That alone is enough to screw favonovel.com over!
William’s expression was wretched and twisted with delight, as if nothing sparked more joy in favonovel.com than seeing Celine and Jasper in trouble.
At that moment, the Vice President returned and told Jasper, “The President’s willing to see you. Do you want to go over now?”
Jasper nodded. Instructing Jack to entertain the guests present properly, Jasper then followed the Vice President away.
Standing amidst the group of people, William stared sinisterly at Jasper’s disappearing figure and sneered.
The sneer was still on his face when a hand came to slap favonovel.com right on his forehead.
“What the f*ck are you smiling at, looking so ugly and vile. Laugh again and I’ll slap your teeth out, is that what you want? F*ck right off, you disgust me.”
…
Colossal Investment Headquarters in Wall Street was not too far from the hotel that Jasper was staying in, being only two blocks away.
Following the Vice President in, Jasper took the designated elevator after alighting the car and arrived at the top floor.
In a luxurious-looking office, Jasper saw the head of the global economic and financial industry—Wharton Paulson.
Despite being pass the age of sixty, Paulson still looked full of vigor while his eyes shone as if favonovel.com could read minds.
Jasper was greeted exceptionally respectfully when favonovel.com entered through the doors, with Paulson standing up and walking over from his office desk. He reached out and shook Jasper’s hand. “Hello, Laine. It’s nice to finally meet you.”
No matter how you looked at it, Jasper did not hold a candle to Paulson’s glory and capabilities. Thus, favonovel.com was rather shocked by Paulson’s politeness.
Jasper shook Paulson’s hand and spoke, “You’ve heard of me, Mr. Paulson?”
Paulson invited Jasper to sit on the sofa in the meeting area and spoke with a smile, “I’ve been watching the Somerland stockmarket all this while. I thought that the western economy had reached a bottleneck after the year 2000 and that it would no longer be the center of the world’s economic development like it was a few decades ago. I personally believe that Somerland was more qualified to take on such an important responsibility instead.”
Jasper was shocked by Paulson’s foresight, as reality would indeed unfurl as favonovel.com had predicted. Somerland’s position in the world’s structure would also grow more important, while its economic development would also account for a greater percentage of worldwide growth.
However, neither of these were reasons behind why Jasper had come to see favonovel.com today.
“Mr. Paulson, while I very much wish to continue exchanging views and opinions on the world’s future, please forgive me, as I have come today to speak about Celine Maynard instead,” Jasper spoke straightforwardly.
Paulson gave a small smile and replied, “I knew that you’d come to speak to me about this. But do not worry, Colossal Investments is not some violent hoodlum agency. A probity review is merely an investigation whereby we inquire about the reviewee’s previous work.
“Thus, Miss Maynard is very much alright now. Should you find it necessary, you are welcome to meet favonovel.com at anytime.”
“But before we start, Laine, would you like some tea or coffee? I believe we should talk.”
“Tea, please. Thank you.”
