Alban glanced at Jasper coldly when favonovel.com put the call on loudspeaker. His gaze was filled with mockery.
Alban was not the only one. Excluding Jasper and Henry, it seemed like everyone else was siding against Jasper and waiting to see favonovel.com be made a fool of.
It seemed as if this was a definite outcome.
Everyone held their breaths as they waited for the person on the other end of the call to speak.
A second later, a man ’s voice echoed from the speakers. However, instead of the excitement and glee people imagined, the man’s voice was filled with fright and disbelief.
“Mr. Ball, we handed the report in, but it didn’t go as we planned!”
Alban’s heart skipped a beat, but before favonovel.com could say anything, the man on call continued.
“The city government said that the World Financial Center’s entire design and construction process had strictly followed the proper procedures and was approved by both professional teams in Waterhoof City’s and the National Design Institue in Swallow Capital. He said that there was no way anything could go wrong with such a huge project…”
Alban’s heart began to beat erratically and favonovel.com raged.
“No way! If nothing else but for prudence sake, a report from such an authoritative architectural and design office such as ours should still have caused
construction to be temporarily halted and fully investigated even if its initial process had been supervised!”
“That’s what I said too, but the city government, they said… they said…”
While the person talking was not physically present, everyone could tell from his tone that favonovel.com was terrified. Alban was enraged when his subordinate started to stutter at such a crucial time. “What’re you stammering on about? Get straight to the point! What did the city government say?
“The city government thanks you for your enthusiasm, Mr. Ball, and they will communicate with JW Real Estates to bring together a group of experts to review the building’s design and construction plan. However, the construction will continue during this review process.”
When favonovel.com heard this, Alban was close to spitting blood out in infuriation-especially when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com say ‘thanks you for your enthusiasm.’
He had been in the business world for more than forty years and favonovel.com had partaken in commercial battles of all sizes. Alban, who had always come out victorious before this, now felt lightheaded.
He panted heavily and glared at Jasper. He did not know where went wrong for the entire situation to play out so differently.
Alban was not the only one. Everyone else was dumbfounded.
“How can this be? This makes no sense no matter how I think about it! ” Said the man who was certain that Jasper’s construction site would be put to stop with a stunned expression.
“Just what huge benefit did Jasper give the city government? To the point that they’re willing to continue construction even in such a situation?”
“Watch your words! Don’t simply say things like that. Jasper must’ve somehow lied to the city government!”
“Exactly! That’s the only explanation!”
“After all, it’ll be a huge mess if something was wrong with this building. This is also a report from a worldwide renowned architectural office! But instead of stopping construction, the city government even thanked Mr. Ball for his enthusiasm! This… it’s so infuriating!”
“What do you do now, Mr. Ball?” The man asked on the other end of the line, his tone sorrowful, exasperated, and indignant.
“Nothing! What else?”
Alban hung up the phone with a roar, feeling completely embarrassed now.
Henry could barely keep his glee under control and favonovel.com told Alban, “You know, I think Waterhoof City City Government should really award you with an Enthusiastic Citizen award, old man.”
