Life at the Top

Chapter 282

“Everyone in the industry says that I always do things by fair means or foul, but they’re all blind. Jasper, you’re the true savage. You go for the neck immediately and don’t leave any room to maneuver!

“Splendid! Tremendous indeed!”

Jasper had on an indifferent expression while listening to Dane.

There was no pleased look on his face nor modesty.

He looked as natural as if he was eating or drinking.

“Who’s agreeing or disagreeing with the two proposals I made before?”

Jasper looked at the higher-ups of Sena while standing next to the table. His tone sounded calm, but there was great danger hiding in his voice.

No one dared to stand up and disagree with him. They knew once they disagreed, there would be only one ending for them.

To pack their things and leave.

“I’m forfeiting,” Dane closed his eyes and said as if he was submitting to his fate.

When the higher-ups heard Dane saying that, they all lowered their heads.

Dane stood up shakily and pointed to his seat. He smiled at Jasper and said, “This seat belongs to you now.”

Jasper did not decline. He walked straight to Dane’s seat and sat down.

At this moment, all of the higher-ups sighed internally. They knew that Sena had already staged a comeback.

The flag of the internet industry in the country and the head of the four web portals, Sena, had officially gotten a new boss.

This would be a huge piece of news that would shake the internet industry in the whole nation.

While sitting on the seat of honor in the meeting room, Jasper said flatly, “The decision has been made after the shareholders’ meeting and we’ll be dismissing Dane as the chairman and director-general of the company. After this, I’ll sign the official document to pass it down to every department in the company.

“Now, the company will stop all attacks on Terizone and stop the plan to float. The rest of the tasks in Human Resources will stay the same.”

When he said this, Jasper looked at the higher-ups and said dully, “There’s a change in the person with the highest position in the company and it will undoubtedly affect the working attitude of the other employees. I hope everyone here can pacify the employees later so that they can carry out their jobs as usual.

“Even though the owner of Sena has changed, we still can’t relax about what should be done and what needs to be done.”

The higher-ups looked at each other, and someone even stole a glance at Dane.

However, they saw that Dane was like a cock that had lost in a cockfight. He had lost his spirit, vigor, and energy. He was sitting at one side like a puppet.

The higher-ups sighed, and it was unknown who took the lead to call out, “Yes, Mr. Laine.”

“Yes, Mr. Laine.”

All of the higher-ups agreed at the same time.

Jasper nodded and said, “Dismiss.”

The higher-ups walked out one after another. Before leaving, they would subconsciously look at Jasper and Dane.

One of them was full of mettle like a new king who just ascended the throne. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The other one had his head lowered in dejection after being kicked out of the position of power.

After the higher-ups left, this earthquake that started from the core of Sena immediately spread throughout the office.

After that, it spread to the outside world before finally shocking the entire nation.

Inside the meeting room, Dane walked out the room dispiritedly. He knew he did not have a place in Sena anymore.

“Mr. Warren, wait,” Jasper called out to stop Dane.

When Dane heard Jasper changing the way he addressed him, he clenched his teeth and turned around to look at Jasper. He asked, “Are you going to humiliate me again?”

Jasper said unenthusiastically, “I plan to invite you, Mr. Dane Warren, to be the new general manager of Sena. I wonder if you’re interested in this?”

Dane was startled after he heard that. He stared fixedly at Jasper, and his eyes were filled with doubt.

“Aren’t you going to kick me out of Sena?”

Dane was not the only one with this question, even Hudson was curious. He looked at Jasper curiously to know the reason.

Jasper said flatly, “I detest your moral character, Mr. Warren, but I have to admit that as the founder, you’re responsible for getting Sena to the scale it is now and its achievements.

“Do you think I purchased Sena just to kick you out and vent my anger? That’s too childish. You’re beneficial to the company, so I’ll consider keeping you. If you weren’t, then I’d kick you out even if you’re super close to me.”

Jasper said and stood up to walk to Dane. He continued, “Now, even though Sena’s owner has changed, Sena is still Sena. I still hope that it will continue to develop under your leadership.”

Dane’s body shook slightly. What happened today had too many twists and turns. Dane felt as if he was on a roller coaster, and his mood was fluctuating so rhythmically.

When he was feeling fully content with his achievements, Jasper purchased Sena.

When he was feeling mad and frustrated, Jasper gave him an opportunity.

Dane even felt as if he was a puppet under Jasper’s control that would do whatever Jasper wanted him to.

“I…” Dane clenched his fists tightly and looked reluctantly at the meeting room as well as the bright and wide office.

This was all his blood and sweat.

“I’ll do it,” Dane closed his eyes and said.

Jasper smiled and reached out his hand to Dane.

Dane reached out as well to hold Jasper’s hand tightly.

The two men looked into each other’s eyes. Dane suppressed his anger and hatred, hiding them in the deepest part of his heart, leaving only conflicts behind.

In ancient times, Queen Boudica had suffered patiently but firmly resolved for revenge. Now, Dane Warren would be willing to bear the humiliation to save his skin for the time being in order to avenge himself in the future.

Jasper patted Dane’s shoulder and pretended that had not noticed anything. His smile looked tranquil and unhurried.

…

Inside the chairman’s office.

Of course, Dane would not be able to continue staying in this office anymore. After he packed his things, he went downstairs to find an empty office. He hung the plaque stating ‘general manager’ and went inside.

On the other hand, Jasper and Hudson were having tea in the chairman’s office.

“Dane truly knows how to enjoy himself,” Jasper smiled and said while taking a sip of the superior green tea.

Hudson looked admiringly at Dane’s office with a floor area that was exaggeratedly large. There was a parlor, meeting room, and lounge inside his office.

When he thought back to his simple and unpresentable office, he sighed. “I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t made a comparison. After comparing, Terizone indeed can’t compare to Sena.”

Jasper laughed and said, “You don’t have to undervalue yourself. Even though Terizone’s office is unpresentable, the feeling it gave me was much better than a bright and wide office.”

Hudson nodded and smiled. He said, “I believe Terizone will soon have an office that’s much more extravagant than this one.”
