Life at the Top

Chapter 273

Even if Celine was smart, she did not expect that Jasper had been rebirthed with more than 20 years worth of memories.

In her past life, when Celine had climbed the corporate ladder abruptly, people had dug up some secrets about her. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

One of the most well-known secrets was how she changed jobs from Seefa Securities to Colossal Investments as a young newbie and then immediately jumped into the position of the general manager in the Terra region.

Then, there was the story of how she fought for power with the current president in the Terra region, William, as a general manager.

This later became Celine’s entry point.

Celine looked at Jasper calmly and said, “Mr. Laine, what are you planning to do? How do you want me to work with you?”

Jasper smiled and said, “First, I hope to know what price Sena had to pay for you to be their agent.”

Celine furrowed her brows and said bluntly, “Mr. Laine, you should know that before the listing succeeds, that this is a trade secret. If I leak this, I’ll face the risk of getting sued.”

Jasper held up his hands and said, “There are no risks in this world that you can’t handle, right?

“Power is always obtained from battles that are full of risks, and never given to you by the enemies out of pity.”

Celine stayed silent for a while before saying indifferently, “Sena is willing to give us 25% of their stocks in exchange for Colossal Investments to help them get listed on the Nasdaq.”

“How generous.”

When Jasper heard this price, even he silently praised Dane’s decisiveness.

How much was 25% of the total shares worth? This would take away a quarter of Sena’s value.

Even though they would need to pay a huge price, in the face of Sena’s capital chain rupture crisis, it was a necessary step. After all, you could not make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

If Sena wanted to get through this crisis and start anew, they would need to give up on short-term benefits.

Ordinary people would not be able to do this.

It was through bold moves like that Dane was able to make Sena into the most outstanding web portal in the country.

No mediocre leader would be able to get to this position.

“Miss Maynard, will you work with me to take down this 25% figure from your investment company?” Jasper asked indifferently.

Celine’s expression changed immediately.

Jasper was saying that he wanted her to steal from her own company. This was not as simple as leaking a trade secret now.

Before she could say anything, the secretary who had been staying silent this entire time stood up to speak.

“Impossible!” The secretary’s tone was stern.

“Miss Maynard, you can’t promise him this. This is impossible. The company is planning to help Sena get listed. We can’t transfer the shares away. You won’t be able to get past William on this matter.

“More importantly, so what if he gets the shares? Sena won’t be publically listed, and they’ll end up suing us. When that happens, we’ll be in trouble.

“This person is harboring evil intentions. Who knows what’s the purpose behind him coming here?”

The secretary’s words caused Celine’s face to darken. She did not say anything.

A secretary was interrupting the conversation of their superiors but was not immediately berated.

This meant that her boss was carefully considering her words.
