Although Coreana was not big, it was really a long way from the airport to the outskirts where Sentel Corporation was located. Since they were part of a convoy, it was impossible to drive too fast.
Therefore, after the initial greetings and small talk, Jasper, who was extremely tense, fell asleep without even realizing. The cars gentle shaking coupled with the fact that favonovel.com had continuously stayed up late for the past few days proved too much for him.
They were discussing a topic when Sylphie, who was waiting for Jasper’s response, realized that favonovel.com did not hear Jasper speak for a long time. Thus, favonovel.com turned favonovel.com head and saw that Jasper had fallen asleep whilst leaning against his seat. She could not help feeling quite helpless.
For any woman, the fact that a man could fall asleep while chatting with them was a huge blow to their self-esteem. However, Sylphie was no ordinary woman. She quietly ordered the convoy to drive more slowly. Then, favonovel.com sat at one side and looked carefully at Jasper. To be honest, Jasper was definitely not the kind of handsome man who would make people feel astonished at first glance.
However, Jasper’ s charm was that the more you looked at him, the more attractive favonovel.com appeared.
If a woman was only attracted to a man’s appearance, then favonovel.com could only be described as superficial.
Most of the real charm of a man lay within. If a handsome man was penniless or not ambitious at all, would there be any sensible woman who would want to be with him?
For Sylphie, watching Jasper sleeping in this way was a novel experience. Frankly speaking, this was the first time favonovel.com had seen a man sleep ever since favonovel.com became an adult. The last time favonovel.com had witnessed such a thing was when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com father and grandpa take a nap when favonovel.com was a child. However, there was no comparison between the two. Jasper was a man, or rather, a man of the same age as her.
Like other women, Sylphie could not help being curious. What kind of power was hidden in this man’s seemingly ordinary body that made favonovel.com reach this point in such a short time?
As favonovel.com slept, Jasper looked far less aggressive than the memorable impression Sylphie had already formed of him. He had a childlike innocence and calmness to favonovel.com now, which interested Sylphie.
Forty minutes later, when Jasper awoke, favonovel.com found that the car had stopped in front of a manor.
Jasper got up and found a thin blanket covering him. He turned his head to Sylphie, who was looking at him, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”
“It’s fine. I can tell that you are tired,” Sylphie said.
“Let’s get out of the car. My father is already waiting.” Jasper got out of the car immediately.
In a country like Coreana with a small land mass but an exceptionally developed economy, there was one obvious feature. There were too many people, which made housing prices outrageously expensive. The manor where Sentel Corporation was located had occupied a decadent amount of floor space.
Jasper got out of the car and went directly into the manor with Sylphie in the lead.
In the living room, a burly middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Sylphie greeted him.
“Welcome, guest from Somerland.”
Sylphie’s father and the next head of Sentel Corporation, Emil Lang greeted Jasper in Coreana. Sylphie interpreted next to favonovel.com so Jasper was not worried about not understanding him.
“Mr. Emil, thank you for your hospitality.”
As favonovel.com faced someone like Emil, who would take over the entire Sentel Corporation in a few years and also caused a series of earth-shattering events himself, Jasper suddenly became quite alert.
In his previous life, favonovel.com could only get to know Emil through the media and the Internet, but now that favonovel.com was standing in front of the man himself, favonovel.com found that Emil was actually very nice to talk to. Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why favonovel.com would cause internal conflicts within this plutocratic family in the future.
He was not assertive enough.
After the two exchanged greetings, Emil smiled and said, “My father is already in the study. Why don’t we go straight up?”
“Okay.”
Since favonovel.com was here to discuss business matters, Jasper did not dilly dally with too much formalities. He simply nodded and agreed.
The three then went to the study upstairs. After knocking on the door, Jasper accompanied Sylphie and followed Emil into the study.
The first thing that caught his eyes was a huge piece of calligraphy.
The decorations in the study were simple, and they did not really fit the style typically demanded by the head of a plutocratic family.
However, Jasper understood that at the level of a big boss like Kit, all antiques and luxury goods became dispensable accessories.
Some people needed expensive luxury goods and antiques to accentuate and flaunt their identity, but for others, even wearing straw sandals gave them a certain energy that normal people dared not look down upon.
Kit, who brought the entire Sentel Corporation to its peak, was definitely one of these leaders.
In the study, Jasper first came into contact with the legendary figure in Coreana, Kit Lang.
This old man was powerful enough to influence who sat in the master seat of the Blue House.
“Mr. Kit, nice to meet you for the first time.”
Jasper took the initiative to greet the ordinary looking old man in front of him.
Kit had been looking at Jasper all this while. After Jasper finished speaking, favonovel.com nodded with a smile and said, “Hello, Jasper.”
“The way the people in Somerland communicate is very interesting. To bring together the relationship between strangers as quickly as possible, you will say that people from Somerland and the people from Coreana were family five hundred years ago. If that’s the case, we might even be relatives.”
Jasper was surprised when Kit said that. “Mr. Kit, your Somerish is really good and your understanding of Somerland culture is also impressive.”
“Somerland is Coreana’s neighbor. The two countries have a history spanning hundreds of years. Therefore, Somerish is the first foreign language I learned, while I have also been studying Somerland culture for many years.”
Kit invited Jasper to sit down.
Everyone sat down according to their ranks.
Kit asked Jasper with a smile, “Mr. Laine, in truth, the last time you came to Coreana, I told Sylphie that if I ever have the chance, I hoped to invite you to come over and have a good chat.”
“I like to chat with outstanding young people. This allows me to expand my thinking and understand the changes in the world better. However, I didn‘t expect this opportunity to come so soon.”
Sylphie chuckled upon hearing that.
She still remembered that in the past, favonovel.com grandpa praised Jasper at said favonovel.com would become the richest man in Somerland. Although the latest reports had not come out yet, Jasper’s wealth was enough to secure this position. Jasper ranked first in Somerland in personal wealth both on the surface level and in private.
“Your business philosophy and skills have always been a model for the younger generation. It is actually an honor to have the opportunity to meet you, Mr. Kit.” Jasper smiled.
Everyone loved to hear nice things about them.
If Kit showed favonovel.com respect, Jasper would naturally accept it with both hands. Then, they started to speak highly about each other as per the standard of procedure in business.
These were innocuous little things. After this, the real excitement began.
