Life at The Top novel Chapter 106

“Tell me, I’m listening. Let me know what’s going on,” Jasper said while sitting down.

John rubbed his face and started to tell Jasper what had happened to him during this period.

Gradually, Jasper understood what was going on.

The trouble John had run into was indeed directly related to him.

Although Jasper had won a huge amount of money after the fight with Hugh in Royce Villa, Hugh never planned to let this matter go so easily.

However, after that incident, Jasper was either in the province or Cavern City, so Hugh could not find a chance to seek revenge on him.

As such, Hugh, who had lost 50 million dollars, then channeled all of his anger and desire to seek vengeance on John, who was closest with Jasper.

Even though John also belonged to the circle, at the end of the day, he was just a president of Commercial Bank’s district branch. He still depended on his salary for his living.

Normally, when the firms wanted to take loans, they would need to see if he was in a good mood. However, to be honest, those millionaires never paid much respect to John.

Plus, Hugh was the one attacking first, so it was even more improbable for someone to be willing to offend Hugh for John.

It was because of this Hugh played some dirty tricks and set a trap to get hold of the details of how John went against the rules to approve loans for companies. Then, he even disclosed this to the city branch.

Hugh’s people were among the leaders of the city branch and were tough. John pulled some strings but they still closed the door in his face.

If the investigation team came after him, then he would lose his job. As such, John only called Jasper because he had no choice.

“Is it true that you violated the rules and approved the loans? How much?” Jasper asked.

John’s eyes were red as he gritted his teeth and growled. “It’s not a lot, just more than three million. However, those inhuman b*stards with no conscience will still complain about life even if they have more than enough. They’re all thankless wenches!

“I did violate the rules in some parts. If I have to go strictly by the rules, then a lot of companies won’t fit the requirements for loans. The ones who fit the requirements might not even want a loan. How do they expect us to do our jobs like this?

“These are the unwritten rules in the industry. Everyone will turn a blind eye to this. It’ll be fine as long as no one causes any huge trouble.

“That b*stard Hugh deliberately asked someone to set a trap for me. That person wasn’t a stranger, so I wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t pay up and that’s why I approved the loan. In the end, who knew that person would take all the money and run?

“I can’t get the money back, and Hugh is using his connections to disclose this to the branch. So, that’s how I got into trouble.”

Jasper did not say anything as he was thinking.

John remained silent for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said, “Brother, it’s fine if you can’t take care of this. If worst comes to worst, I’ll just quit my job as the president.”

Jasper shook his head and said, “If they really implicate you, it’s not a matter of losing your job or not. You might even get sent to jail if this is not handled correctly.”

John’s face turned white. He was in the industry, so how would he not know the sensitivity of these banking matters? If he approved loans without following the rules and the person ran away, as a president, he would really be sent to prison.

“But don’t worry.” Jasper smiled and calmed John down.

“This is easy to take care of. However, my goal is not just to take care of this.

“A person like Hugh will always bear grudges at one side, and he’ll be a time bomb for you and me. Why don’t we use this opportunity to get rid of him?”

When John heard what Jasper said, he widened his eyes and controlled his excitement. He said, “Brother, are you sure?”

According to the memories of his past life, John would keep getting promoted, and in the end, he would be the second-in-command of the provincial branch.

On the other hand, Hugh’s Lantern Capital would bomb, and in the end, it would be finished.

At the end of the day, the reason Jasper knew this was still because he had changed some things after his rebirth.

However, overall, there was one thing that would remain unchanged.
