Judging from Mr. Nelson’s expression, this was a response from the higher-ups. He was scolding Jasper, but he was feeling joyous in his heart.
It was as if his child went out to fight with the child from a local tyrant family and his kid drew blood after they punched the bad kid on the nose. Even though he would scold his child, he would still feel proud inside. This was always the case when parents educated their children. They were always stingy with praise, but their satisfaction never really diminished.
How did Mr. Nelson’s attitude reflect the response from the higher-ups?
It was because, for 99.99% of the people in Somerland, Mr. Nelson held one of the highest positions they could ever imagine.
There were only a few seats in the sector, but he headed the core decision making function of the national financial policy making team.
Since Mr. Nelson was going to put on a show, the young man was also happy to play along. He pretended to be surprised and said, “It’s almost dawn and you need to go to the Purple Forbidden City? Are those people not resting?”
“This is such a big thing, so you’ll get called up even if you’re already asleep. The significance of this matter is enough to warrant such behavior.”
Mr. Nelson said and stood up.
“Kid, how long are you going to keep watching and doing nothing?” Mr. Nelson asked profoundly.
The young man chuckled lightly and put his hands in his sleeves like an ordinary man from Heaven City.
“If I can’t watch, do you think I can go and perform the show myself? This is not my role. so I can’ t go. Instead, I can only watch the show with peace of mind.”
“Very good.” Mr. Nelson nodded. Then, he thought about it and said, “Originally, you could still go up and say a few words. After all, the more lively this drama, the more it proves that our big family is prosperous. If you don’t show up, I keep getting the feeling that something is missing.”
“But now, it’s not appropriate anymore, understand?”
“Yes.”
