Life at the Top

Chapter 196

“You be the host?”

Henry was completely stumped for words. Even though he knew Jasper had the ability to do so, this involved the economy of Harbor City, and his father was recommending him to conduct this!

The more responsibility one had, the more honor one would get!

If Jasper successfully conducted the market rescue, then he would cause a sensation in Harbor City!

His status and position would be higher than his!

However, if Jasper failed, not only would he need to bear the infamy, he would also affect the Laws.

At the side, Anna also looked as if she was in deep thought. On one hand, she supported Jasper, but on the other, she was worried that Jasper might fail.

Of course, she wished that this man in front of her would succeed.

However, the market rescue involved too many people and if there was a slight mistake, then it would cause an incurable loss as well as huge trouble.

“A-Are you confident about this?” Anna asked in a low voice.

“Someone has to do it. The Laws have placed so much value in me so naturally, I don’t wish to embarrass you. However, I’ve never conducted this kind of quibble worth a few hundred billion before.”

Jasper’s expression looked solemn. After a while, a burst of light flashed across his eyes. “However, I’ve said that I won’t let anyone destroy Harbor City!”

…

On the other side, an office in the government of Harbor City.

“Are you guys crazy?”

A man in his 30s who looked as if he had an out-of-the-ordinary character yelled loudly. His face had turned green.

His name was Jake Cullen, and he was an exceptional stock trader and investor from Wall Street.

Inside the room, Zachary and another high-level official from the government of Harbor City who was about the same age as him were looking at him calmly.

“Two years ago, I was the stock market genius in Wall Street. Now that I’m back in Harbor City, I’ve never failed after hosting more than a dozen trade wars in the stock market. Aside from me, who else in Harbor City is qualified to host this market rescue?”

Jake slammed his hand down on the table angrily as he glared at the people sitting in front of him with a dark face.

“Now, you’re recommending a minor nobody from Mainland to steal this mission from me? What is the meaning of this?”

The official glanced at Zachary who had no expression on his face. He later chuckled and said, “Mr. Cullen, don’t be mad. Mr. Law must have his reasons to say this.”

Actually, the government of Harbor City was surprised and embarrassed at Zachary’s suggestion.

It was because in Harbor City, Jake was indeed the top of the top when it came to controlling the trade war in the stock market. No one had better qualifications than him.

The government had planned to entrust him to host this market rescue worth 100 billion.

However, the government had to take Zachary’s suggestion into consideration as well. As such, that was why there was this scene in the office.

Zachary knew who Jake was, but his expression did not show that. On the other hand, he said slowly, “Everyone, firstly, I need to mention that this young man named Jasper is not an unknown nobody.

“He started out by depending on the stock market in Mainland. He was the mysterious retail investor who defeated the capitalist big shots in the international crude oil futures market a few months ago.

“He was also the one who purchased Gladness Entertainment Movies and caused a stir in Harbor City a few days ago.

“Plus, he was also the one who tried hard to save the market this morning.”

While Zachary said that, he looked expressionlessly at Jake and the official.

“Next, this is not just my suggestion. This is also a suggestion made by my father to the higher-ups of the government.”

Jake and the official still disapproved while listening to the first two statements, but when they heard that Jasper, who saved the market in the morning, was also recommended by Old Master Law, their expressions changed.

The market rescue this morning had given the citizens of Harbor City a lot of confidence. When the hearts of the citizens wandered in this kind of economic crisis, it would be hard to assemble them again.

It was because of Jasper’s market rescue this morning, the government had time to release the press statement at noon to strengthen the confidence of the citizens.

It could be said that Jasper was already the hero of Harbor City with just the market rescue this morning and nothing else. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Plus, with the recommendation of Old Master Law, even the higher-ups of the government had to attach some importance to him.

Jake moved his lips. The reason he dared to slam down on Zachary’s table just now was that the government officials supported him in doing the market rescue, so that was why he had the guts to be so arrogant.
