Chapter 239

Jasper was never a person who lied.

The same applied when he was treating any lady. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He said that he would make both Steve and Mark kneel before Wendy and admit their faults. Since he said it would happen within three days, it would definitely not happen on the fourth day.

Early in the morning after waking up in the hotel, both of them headed downstairs for breakfast. They immediately headed over to the office of JW Real Estate that was located in Brac County.

With the two big bosses’ arrival, Mr. Lambert dared not waste a single second. He immediately went to summon all of the workers in the company for a meeting.

However, Jasper never liked having meetings on a frequent basis. As such, he utilized his authority as the boss and had most of the workers continue on with their own tasks, leaving only Mr. Lambert and his two assistants.

These three people basically comprised the Management Department of the branch company of JW Real Estate in Brac County.

“To be honest, even though the main company knows that the project in Brac County is not easy to do, we’re still not satisfied with your working progress,” Jasper sat in Mr. Lambert’s seat and said.

The three of them exchanged terrified looks at each other and revealed bitter smiles at the same time.

“Mr. Laine, we’re indeed facing some difficulties as well. The main reason is that Brac County is a special place, and our work is facing a great deal of resistance,” said one of the assistants while feeling aggrieved.

“If it’s not a difficult task, then tell me, why should I be spending several times more to pay you all a higher salary than an average employee to work for me?” Jasper asked.

That question left the three of them speechless.

Wendy, who was sitting beside them, was looking at Jasper intently.

She realized that at this moment, Jasper was very handsome…

“I know that the greatest obstacle for the project in Brac County is the all-around obstruction by the local Zion family. To you guys, this is indeed a very critical issue. Mr. Lambert, I heard that you were previously threatened with blades in the office?”

Mr. Lambert quickly nodded and said with a bitter smile, “This is indeed like an educated person bumping into a ruthless being. No logic can go through their minds. It’s not just me, but many people have been threatened as well—both straight to the face and in the shadows.”

“They also warned us that we’re just workers, and there’s no need to endanger our safety for the sake of a job.”

Jasper said coldly, “It’s now the year 2000 already, yet there are still people using such ruthless methods to run their business. And you guys are actually petrified because of this?

“I can tell you guys that you work for JW Real Estate, so JW Real Estate will be your shield as well. Whoever uses underhanded methods is going against JW Real Estate, and JW Real Estate will never let you guys suffer from any threats.

“And if anyone really takes the risk and causes any one of you to suffer from any injury, JW Real Estate will definitely redeem justice for you all—even at the expense of losing this project!”

Jasper’s speech was very influential. His voice was not that loud, yet it brought with it persuasion.

Mr. Lambert and the other two people looked at each other before nodding at the same time. “Mr. Laine, we have faith in you!”

Since Jasper had already said so, they were reassured and comforted.

“How many local building materials suppliers are there in Brac County and which one is cooperating with JW Real Estate?” asked Jasper.

An assistant manager with the surname Wood was mainly in charge of that aspect and quickly answered, “The local market for this industry is mainly composed of Ambition Corporation and Future Industries. These two companies comprise 70% of the building materials market. The one who’s cooperating with us is Ambition Corporation, whose ability is slightly weaker than Future Industries.”

“Future Industries… Is the boss’ surname Quare?” asked Jasper.

Mr. Wood nodded. “Yes, sir.”

“Immediately set up an appointment for me to meet with the boss of Ambition Corporation.”

Mr. Wood answered immediately after hearing it, spun around, and went on to proceed with his work.
