Sean’s eyes lit up and he nodded. “Alright, it sounds grand and dignified. I like it.”
“Oh, and there’s one more thing I’d like you to help me do.”
Jasper gave it some thought before he said, “Help me find a few formal gifts. Nothing too outlandish, so no need for jewelry. Something like tea, perhaps. I’m using them as gifts.”
Sean nodded and replied, “Alright. I’ll get to it immediately.”
…
The following day, Hoofmorn University.
Jasper’s Bentley came to a slow stop before the administrative building where a group of people was already waiting for him.
“That’s Jasper?”
“I heard that he’s the richest man in the Southeast Province. One of the wealthiest in the entire southern region too.”
“That’s not even the half of it. I think Waterhoof City’s skyscraper belongs to him too. There’s no youth richer than he is within the country.”
“The most unbelievable thing is that he’s only in his twenties. He’s around the same age as our university’s students, but there’s no comparing against him. I heard he’s an entrepreneur too. Such a capable man.”
“Does anyone know what he’s doing here in our school? I heard that a few important department chiefs, the university’s president, and the dean’s waiting for him upstairs.”
“Wow. Considering the welcoming party, I almost thought that some important figure from Swallow Capital was coming over.”
