“It’s Fabian,” Jasper said flatly.
Ryder’s voice paused for a while on the other end of the phone.
Obviously, Ryder, who had stayed in Harbor City for so long, could already be considered as someone from the upper class circle. Because of this, he was not unfamiliar with that name.
With a bitter chuckle, Ryder said, “Mr. Laine, if it’s him, I’m afraid only you can settle this.”
“I know Fabian will do something, but his speed and aggression surprised me. He’s truly a young master from the Atticus family. He’s so different from the ordinary people.”
Ryder could detect the complimentary tone in Jasper’s words, hence, he said sullenly, “Mr. Laine, we’re losing money with every minute that passes. Also, if we don’t take care of this soon, the company’s reputation will be greatly affected.
“You should know that the artists make money from their reputation. If they don’t have any publicity for a very long time, even the most popular artists will lose their jobs. How are you still in the mood to mock him?”
Jasper chuckled and said, ‘Don’t worry. This is not a big deal, yet you’re already so anxious.”
“Do you already have a solution, Mr. Laine?” Ryder said in shock.
Jasper explained patiently, “According to our long term plan, we will abandon the market in Harbor City sooner or later.
“There’s nothing left in this market anymore anyway. It’s not stagnant yet, but the entertainment industry in Harbor City can’t support so many artists anymore.”
“Because of this, we’ve always been targeting the market in the mainland ever since the company was founded.”
“Total annihilation by Fabian’s hand right now might not be a bad thing. It’s just in time to prompt us and our artists to completely shift over to the mainland market.”
