Dean was in luck. By the time favonovel.com rushed all the way from Suesville to Nauritus City, it was half an hour before the afternoon opening.
Jasper was eating when favonovel.com received a report from downstairs that someone named Dean wanted to see him.
Wendy was still in Harbor City, so no one would bring favonovel.com lunch anymore. Hence, Jasper and Baz could only have lunch prepared by the team of chefs from a five-star hotel.
Jasper was picking at the food in dissatisfaction. Then, favonovel.com said without looking up, “Let favonovel.com come up and ask favonovel.com to come here directly.”
A few minutes later, under the guidance of the staff, Dean appeared in front of Jasper.
“Have you eaten yet?”
Although there had been some conflicts between them, in Jasper’s view, they were all adults. Thus, personal grievances and things like that did not exist in their world. Instead, they were all here for profit.
Now that the previous matter had been settled and mutual interests had been taken care of, there was nothing to worry about.
If favonovel.com was here, favonovel.com should sit down and talk if favonovel.com had something to say. If favonovel.com did not, favonovel.com should leave after the meal.
There were not so many grudges in the adult world.
“I was in a rush, so I didn’t.” Dean was not courteous at all as favonovel.com said this directly.
“What can I do then? My meal portions are all fixed, and I didn‘t prepare yours,” Jasper said.
After speaking and watching Dean‘s stunned and embarrassed expression, Jasper laughed and said, “I was just teasing you. I will get them to make some even if I don’t have it right now since we have a guest, right? Come sit.”
Dean sat down opposite Jasper, clenching his teeth secretly. That small so-called joke made favonovel.com lose the opportunity to seize the initiative.
This was not a good sign.
At the same time, it secretly surprised Dean. Jasper was even more cunning than when they were in contact a few months ago.
Soon, the sumptuous and delicious dishes were served. Dean also picked up the fork and took a few bites. When favonovel.com saw that Jasper was not going to say anything, favonovel.com sighed and spoke after putting down the fork, “Mr. Laine, I think you must know the reason why I came here this time.”
“I don’t like guessing. I like to say whatever’s on my mind.”
Jasper wiped his mouth and glanced at the time while favonovel.com was at it. After this obvious gesture, favonovel.com smiled at Dean and said, “There are still 20 minutes before the opening. I don’t have much time to accompany you.”
Dean gritted his teeth slightly. Then, favonovel.com looked at Jasper and said, “Okay, I’ll go straight to the point. This morning in the market, the Haddock Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses. With the exception of the textile industry, our other industries have suffered a lot. More than 60% of the listed companies belonging to the Haddock Chamber of Commerce have reached the limit down. The Haddock Chamber of Commerce won’t be able to hang on for long if this continues. So, I was entrusted by others to come to ask you for help.”
“Entrusted by others?”
Jasper smiled and asked, “Is it Gale, or someone else?”
“It’s not my grandpa.”
