Scarlet felt rather disappointed, for favonovel.com thought that Jasper would speak to favonovel.com more. She had not expected that their interaction to be limited to a brief greeting at the very start, as the man seemed to have forgotten favonovel.com existence altogether just a moment later.
“Oh, right.” Jasper suddenly turned around after walking quite a distance away.
“There’s another gala tonight. Scarlet, would you be interested in coming with me as my plus one?”
When favonovel.com said this, the large group of superstars and A-line celebrities all looked at Scarlet enviously.
There was indeed a ceremonial banquet happening that night, and only top-notch bigshots like the Law family would be attending. This was the type of banquet that the celebrities could only dream of joining.
While some famous celebrities had already received an invitation, it was very different going by themselves, and going as Jasper’s companion.
A few specific female celebrities set their sights on Scarlet, their gazes boring a hole into her.
“Yes, of course!”
Scarlet was temporarily stunned, feeling as if favonovel.com had just won the lottery, but replied ecstatically.
“Alright, I’ll have someone pick you uplater, then.” Jasper smiled and left cooly.
After favonovel.com left, all the celebrities, famous and not, came over to them. A small portion of them wanted to know what Stephen and Jasper had been talking about, while the majority stepped forward to make friends with Scarlet.
This was the charm of power and wealth.
Scarlet felt favonovel.com mind blur as celebrities much more famous than favonovel.com who would never have previously given favonovel.com the time of day now surrounded her. One single thought surfaced in favonovel.com mind.
‘It must be nice being rich and powerful.’
…
Thanks to the press, the already-famous project now became a household name. Following that, the ceremonial banquet involving most of Harbor City’s and the Mainland’s rich and famous only further spread the name of the Southface River.
More than half of the South were now aware of this place known as the Southface River.
They also came to know of a company that went by the name JW Real Estates.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the topping-out ceremony finally came to an end.
More than sixteen television stations had come to cover it, and both Nauritus Television and Southeast Television had live-streamed the entire event. Twenty-three newspaper representatives had also come to the scene to get some questions in during the Q&A session.
Thus, a series of powerful publicity was in place to roll out that night as they planned to spread the news all over the country.
This was a decision Jasper had made with Dawson.
If JW Real Estates wanted to make a name for itself throughout the nation in the shortest possible time, then it had to have a signature project. The Southface River project was their only choice.
The Southface River project managed to meet two key criteria at once, in that it was a good fit for the country’s current economical climate, and was also the type of development that modern society currently desired. Thus, it met those needs at precisely the right time and place.
Jasper had to use this project to publicize JW Real Estates, for the next opportunity would be the topping-out ceremony for the skyscraper in Waterhoof City. This would take at least another year.
Jasper could not afford to wait, as the real estate industry was beginning to develop and favonovel.com did not have much time.
Wendy and Dawson were exhausted, for the two had essentially been ensuring that the ceremony ran smoothly the entire time.
Jasper, on the other hand, had been lazy as favonovel.com spoke to Zachary for a few hours and then chatted a bit when the senior officials from the city and provincial government had arrived.
After the ceremony was complete, the banquet began. The father-daughter duo was exhausted so they decided to head back first, no longer bothering to entertain the guests.
Jasper was now left to host the entire event by himself.
The banquet was held in the newly constructed hotel in the Southface River Center. It had a huge banquet hall, and could easily fit hundreds of people.
With Jasper’s individual attention, the banquet turned out to be extremely classy.
They got the most experienced servers from Nauritus City’s largest five-star Hilton Hotel while even the team of chefs was the best that the Southeast Province had to offer.
Expenses for this alone had cost Jasper at least seven figures.
