Jasper smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll discuss this with Wendy.”
A smile appeared on Dawson’s face and favonovel.com nodded.
However, to Jasper, that smile looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted from Dawson’s shoulders. It seemed that his future father-in-law was also feeling awkward about this topic and did not know how to say it.
“I’ll go back to the company now,” Jasper said.
“Go ahead.”
This time, Dawson let favonovel.com leave.
When Dawson saw Jasper leaving, his eyes landed on the newspaper. He saw an advertisement for baby products. The model was a chubby and adorable baby.
“A grandchild. My chubby grandchild.”
Dawson murmured to himself and suddenly burst out laughing. His eyes were filled with expectation and longing.
When Jasper got to the office, Malcolm showed up.
“Anything I can help you with, Malcolm?” Jasper asked curiously.
Malcolm had worked in JW for so long that his English was getting more fluent. He chuckled and said, “Nothing, I’m just here to kiss your *ss.”
“Oh, your English has improved,” Jasper smiled.
“When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since I’m working in Somerland, I have to understand the culture and the language of Somer. That way, not only will I be able to get a job easier, I will also understand what the people of Somerland think.”
“Alas, Somerland’s culture is so charming. My wife and I are both intrigued,” Malcolm said.
After chatting for a while, Malcolm told Jasper his true purpose.
JW was getting bigger and bigger and they were accepting more and more jobs. Of course, Malcolm was not here to suck up to Jasper. Moreover, everyone knew Jasper did not need to be sucked up to like that.
“The company is not doing so great recently,” Malcolm said with a frown.
Jasper turned on his computer and asked, “The company? Not so great? Malcolm, just spit it out.”
With a sigh, Malcolm shrugged and said, “This is normal as well. It’s because there are a lot of rumors out there.”
“You know most of the employee’s confidence comes from the boss and now there are a lot of rumors about you out there. Some say you lost a lot of money on the United States stock market and some say you made a lot of money but you can’t get it back.”
“Furthermore, you almost withdrew all of the company’s cash flow, so there’s negative emotions brewing within the company. Based on the management theory of the west, this negative emotion will lead to a lot of consequences, one of which is a rise in resignations.”
“As for some of our partners, they were also keeping an eye out for this. Some of our collaborative projects are now in a deadlock because of this.”
Jasper smiled after favonovel.com heard what Malcolm said. He replied, “Basically, everyone is worried that I’ll become bankrupt all of a sudden. They’re worried that I won’ t be able to pay them their salaries and for their goods, right?”
Malcolm nodded and said seriously to Jasper, “Mr. Laine, this is not a small problem. I hope you can take it seriously.”
“I know. This is a test for me and also for JW, but I don’t plan to do anything.”
Jasper’s words stumped Malcolm.
Malcolm thought Jasper had not realized the severity of this issue, so favonovel.com frantically tried to explain further, but Jasper simply waved his hand to stop him.
“Malcolm, I know what you’re thinking, but there’s no choice. No matter how big of a problem it is, we can only place it to one side for now.”
“Because these problems that l encounter inside or outside the company are essentially caused by my own current dilemma. As long as I solve my own problems, these problems will no longer exist.”
“In other words, if I can’t solve it and I am instead defeated by it, then what is the point of dealing with the company’s problems?”
