“I’m free, but why invite me for dinner so suddenly?” Jasper asked with a crescent-eyed smile.
“I got my first part-time paycheck,” Tiffany replied.
Jasper was stunned. He had made sure to give Tiffany enough money for her living costs, but this strong and independent girl had still decided to earn money by doing part-time jobs.
Jasper was not against this, in fact, he supported it.
“Congratulations! This is indeed worth celebrating, where do you want to eat?”
Tiffany seemed prepared as she immediately replied, “I heard that there’s a really tasty seafood restaurant that opened recently at Gold Pedestrian Street Is that okay?”
‘Gold Pedestrian Street?
‘Isn’t that my property?’
Following the full completion and publicity of the Gold Pedestrian Street as well as the support from the Waterhoof City City Government, the street had developed very quickly.
As of today, it had already shown signs of being one of the future three large pedestrian streets in the country. All foreign tourists would surely visit the Gold Pedestrian Street first, then make their way to the beach.
As a result, business at the Gold Pedestrian Street was only improving and the most evident change with it was its rental costs.
There was no way Jasper would sell any property located here, nor would any stores be sold on the market. Yet its rental prices were increasing every day. It had currently risen to the rental cost of 5000 Somer Dollars per square meter.
This was an unimaginable cost in the year 2001, yet countless people were fighting for a lease contract.
Naturally, Jasper made a lot of money from this.
Jasper had first bought these property lots from the City Government with the agreement to pay them in installments. The rent Jasper earned now has reached the point where it could easily pay off the installments to the government with profit left to spare.
In no time, more than half of Gold Pedestrian Street’s properties would become cash cows that countless people desired, and they would supply Jasper with an endless flow of cash.
“Sure. But it isn’t cheap eating over at Gold Pedestrian Street,” Jasper told Tiffany mirthfully through the phone after recollecting his thoughts.
“Mr. Clem takes quite good care of me and he gave me the best job there is. So don’t worry, Jasper!”
Hanging up the phone, Jasper had Julian turn the car around and make their way to Gold Pedestrian Street.
