Life at The Top novel Chapter 1579

South River Area was where the outstanding rich people of Sela gathered. The building of Sentel Corporation’s headquarters had also been built here.

While sitting in the car, Jasper discovered that Sylphie had taken him to the base of the Sentel Corporation office building. He could not help but ask, “Aren’t we touring Sela?”

Sylphie chuckled and proudly said, “South River Area is the symbol of Sela, and Sentel Corporation is the symbol of South River Area. What better way to appreciate the scenery of Sela than to bring you here?”

All the economically developed cities in the world were basically the same.

Towering skyscrapers and glass walls could be seen everywhere. The streets were very narrow and crowded. Since every inch of land was worth a lot of money in a commercial area, no government would be willing to build roads that were too wide in these places.

The streets were spotless. Impeccably dressed white-collar elites were everywhere and they were either holding coffee or computers, chatting and laughing, or walking about in a hurry.

Jasper did not enter the Sentel Corporation building because it would be boring. Instead, be folded his hands behind his back and went shopping aimlessly along with Sylphie’s company.

Suddenly, Jasper stopped in front of the window of a jewelry store.

When Sylphie saw that Jasper was staring at a swan-shaped brooch made from diamond in the back of the shop window, she asked, “Are you buying a gift for something?”

Jasper nodded and smiled. “My fiancé. I’ve been to so many places, but I rarely bring her any gifts. This brooch will suit her very well.”

As he was talking, Jasper called the salesperson over. “Wrap this for me,” Jasper said, pointing to the brooch in the window.

The salesperson was obviously a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry, sir. This brooch is for exhibit only and is not for sale.”

Jasper could not understand Coreana, so he turned his head to look at Sylphie.

Sylphie did not translate for him but said something to the salesperson.

Soon, the salesperson held the packaged brooch in both hands and handed it to Jasper.

180 thousand US Dollars.

It could only be said that there were always things in this world with values beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After shopping for a while and buying the gifts that should be bought, Jasper and Sylphie walked into a coffee shop.

They arbitrarily ordered two cups of coffee. The two were talking and laughing, but then, they saw that the huge screen on the street was broadcasting financial news through the glass window.

During this period, every country in the world was the same. All financial news throughout the globe could not detract themselves from the major news about the trading curb in the United States stock market.

This was the first time in history that the Down Jones had reached a trading curb. It was significant enough for the moderate-sized financial circle to talk about it for a long time.

“In a way, you are the number one person in the world.” Sylphie glanced at the news outside and said to Jasper.

Jasper waved his hand and said, “What does it mean to be the number one person? I don’t want to be the number one person if it’s going to be like this.”

“Do you dare to say that you are not at all proud of your achievements?” Sylphie asked curiously.

“I’d be lying to you if I said I’m not. When I am alone in the dead of night, I quietly feel delighted. After all, I’m a man and men are constantly pursuing the feeling of being better than everyone throughout their whole lives.”
