Life at the Top

Chapter 216

Henry, who was eager to curse, did not show any fluctuations in his expression. He was even looking forward to seeing what sort of performance and script Jasper would put on and say next.

Jasper’s comment which was said with a tone that made him appear calm made Leilani experience a brief moment of suffocation.

“I still have some personal questions. Usually, when you’re making friends, do you have any special criteria? Do you disregard identity and status, or do those who are able to mingle with you need to possess a certain amount of wealth and status?”

“I have no criteria. What matters is that I get along with them. I never look at their wealth nor status when I’m making friends because I know that usually, those who are of the same age as me will not be as rich as me!”

Henry caught the sign and grasped it on his chest. He was feeling an ache in his heart as he looked at Jasper’s calm expression. Suddenly, he was feeling slightly envious of him. ‘When can I be just like Jasper, able to blurt out such arrogant words carefreely?’

“Mr. Laine, you’ve such high expectations in your investments. I heard that your returns from your previous investment were terrifying. May I ask what’s your feeling about that?”

“Well, I don’t have many feelings about it. Actually, when you’ve earned a ton of fortune, money will become just numbers to you.”

Hearing it made Henry, who was beside him, and Leilani feel a strong urge coursing through them…

Leilani forced herself to suppress the emotions within her. Her expression remained composed as she continued with the interview.

“Then, may I ask, do you have a target, Mr. Laine? Or in other words, have you ever thought that one day, you’ll be able to obtain the title of being the richest man in the country?”

“Nope. if you insist on asking for a target, well I guess I should at least be the richest man in the world?”

Leilani was speechless.

This time, it was both Leilani and Henry whose expressions turned dark again. Even Leilani, who had received very stern training, was unable to remain composed in this interview.

Even Henry wanted to purchase some cardiac medications!

‘Are… Are these even words spoken by a human?

‘In his eyes, being the richest man in the country is not at all something to be proud of?’

Next up, Leilani followed her usual schedule and asked Jasper a few more questions before ending the interview.

After the camera was off and the interview was over, Leilani let out a breath of relief. It was as if she had completed a big project.

“Mr. Laine, you’re no doubt a more unique rich man I’ve ever interviewed. Not one of them but the only one.”

Leilani’s comment was approved by all the workers.

The interview session was completed after being struck by a few continuous sudden strikes.

Leilani and the two men left. Henry wiped off his sweat and glanced at Jasper with a weird gaze before asking weakly, “Do you have any idea how well you can act?”

Jasper said astonishingly, “But all this while, I’ve just been stating the truth.”

Henry was speechless.

Henry let out a dry laugh, and his expression was dark.

In no time, Henry started scolding while leaving the scene.

Judging from the contents of his words, he was feeling depressed and was heading over to look for his two girlfriends to comfort his soul that was injured.

On the next day at Hennessy Road of Harbor City, number 777, on the ground floor of Gladness Entertainment Movies. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hennessy Road was considered the most crowded street where all entertainment companies were. The four big movie companies were over here, and not far away from number 777 where Gladness Entertainment Movies was located, was Elite Corporation.

At that moment, Gladness Entertainment Movies was very crowded. Even though it was a fact that the movie industry of Harbor City had declined, the company still shone brightly despite the poor financial status. At the entrance of Gladness Entertainment Movies, there were still people lingering around and it was extremely lively.

Jasper had come over today because he had made an appointment with Michael to sign the final purchasing agreement.

He was not in a hurry, but Michael was.

Michael was desperate for cash as half of the cash he had was trapped within the stocks. He had earned five billion with five billion, which allowed him to have capital with a profit of ten billion. However,

he was not Jasper, and Zachary did not abuse his powers to help him out. Hence, it would take a very long time if he wanted to take out that ten billion.

That was why Michael kept remembering the 1.5 billion that Jasper would be paying to purchase Gladness Entertainment Movies.

Even though they had agreed to sign the agreement on that day, Jasper did not inform Michael in advance when he came over. He planned to have a look at Gladness Entertainment Movies’ operation, whether or not it was still functioning well.

That would affect his decision on whether or not he should change the employees of the higher management after purchasing Gladness Entertainment Movies officially.

Once the ruler was changed, the underlings would be changed as well. Those who were of no use to Jasper would obviously need to step down.

“Out of the way, out of the way!”

As soon as Jasper entered the entrance of the building, he heard an impatient voice coming from behind. Following then, there was a hand stretched out, attempting to push Jasper away.

Jasper took a step back and evaded that hand.

“What the f*ck, didn’t you hear me asking you to get out of the way?”

The owner of that hand was a middle-aged man with an average physique and a potbelly. Earlier, he ended up pushing the air and felt that he had lost his dignity as he looked at Jasper with a fierce gaze.

“You must be Scarlet’s fan, right? Did you happen to know that she’ll be coming here to Gladness Entertainment Movies this morning? Hence, you’ve come here earlier to wait? Hurry up and get lost!”
