Life at The Top novel Chapter 1319

After walking out of the restaurant, Jasper bid Vita and John goodbye.

“Well, since we didn’t get to eat the blowfish today, looks like you’ll have to go and look for something else to eat, Vita,” Jasper joked.

Vita smiled wryly and said in a slightly embarrassedly tone, “The dinner was supposed to be something great. Who’d have thought that this incident would destroy everyone’s good mood.”

“What do you mean destroy?”

Jasper glanced at John and said with a smile, “I was in a pretty good mood tonight. Weren’t you, John?”

John understood Jasper’s intention and internally exclaimed to himself how smooth and slick a person Jasper was. He told Vita, “It’s fine, Vita. Don’t worry about something so insignificant. We’re all friends here, so let’s not dwell on what’s already happened.”

Vita nodded, feeling much less conflicted as he replied, “You’re right. I’ll owe you guys this meal then, and invite you out again when I find something good later.”

“You better tell me in advance. I’ll eat less for breakfast so I can eat more out of your wallet,” Jasper said.

The three exchanged a look before laughing out loud. Jasper had originally planned to talk to the two a little longer before his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Jake, Jasper knew that the other would not contact him so late at night unless it was something important.

“Alright. I still have a few things to do, so let’s talk more in the future,” Jasper said as he opened the car door.

Neither John nor Vita asked him to stay. The two each promised to meet again before they watched Jasper’s Bentley drive away.

“Sigh. I remember the first time I saw him when he wanted to buy a plot of land in Waterhoof City. He was just a slightly wealthy businessman back then.”

“But he’s reaching higher and higher heights now.” Vita lamented.

What he saw and heard today had truly shocked him. It also made him understand that Jasper’s level had long surpassed his imaginations.

Patting Vita’s shoulder with his large hand, John said, “Don’t think about it too much. Jasper has the rare trait of someone who remembers his roots. Now that I think closely about it, excluding the brief times when we helped him at the very beginning, he’s been helping us the whole time after that, right?”

“From an ordinary bank president of the Faith Country subbranch, I’ve become the vice president of the Agricultural Bank’s Southeast Province branch. Your achievements are even better. From a normal office manager to Waterhoof City branch’s second in command.

“While we did get promoted thanks to our achievements and business capabilities, there are also tons of people better experienced, from better families, and more capable than we are. Yet, out of all of them, we’re the ones that got promoted.”

“All because the higher ups value our relationship with Jasper. Furthermore, Jasper’s always helped us when it came to bank business.”

“He’s a worthy friend to make, and we shouldn’t feel uncomfortable about the huge gap between us. If he doesn’t mind it, then who are we to care?”

Vita nodded in understanding and agreed, “You’re right. I was just lamenting… But John, I had a thought.”

“What is it?” John asked curiously.

“I want to leave the banking system to pursue politics!” Vita replied seriously.

John’s expression changed. He knew that what happened tonight had changed Vita’s life plan, so he replied solemnly, “This is a huge decision. Come on, let’s go to your home and talk about this seriously.”

“Alright. I’ll have my wife make a few dishes and we can talk about it. We can ask Jasper what he thinks later on. Everything should go much smoother with his support.”
