Life at The Top novel Chapter 1893

Jude obviously still had plenty to say, but h

e forced himself to stop talking when he

heard what Jasper said. Instead, he

nodded and said, “Alright, take your time,

Mr. Laine.”

Jasper chuckled and patted Jude on the

shoulder before he turned and walked

toward the stage that had been

specifically built for the event.

Around ten chairs were placed on the

stage. Naturally, only the most important

people had the right to sit on those chairs.

Not even Woods, who would become the

country’s richest man in the future, had

the right to do so now. Those who were

allowed to sit there were the most

powerful businessmen in the nation.

For example, only presidents of large and

well-established corporations like Vast

Mountain Capital and Leno Group had

seats here.

The podium placed center stage was

where Jasper would be making his

opening speech.

Once Jasper walked onto the stage, all the

presidents, whether they were sitting on

stage and holding conversations or sitting

in the audience and exchanging

pleasantries, immediately stopped what

they were doing and gazed intently at

Jasper.

Jasper, decked out in formal attire,

became the crowd’s focal point. It was

then that people realized that at some

point, this absurdly young man had

become used to being the center of

everyone’s attention as well as the

recipient of their admiration.

The speakers amplified and broadcasted

Jasper’s light cough throughout the venue.

“Gentlemen, I have taken the lead in

hosting the first Somerland Business and

Economic Forum, but it would not have

been made possible without the support o

f the eighty-nine attendees as well as the

support from the government. Before I

officially declare the start of this forum, I

want to thank everyone for their

attendance and thank you for finding the

time during this important period to

gather together and have a fruitful discussion.”

The start of Jasper’s speech was met with thunderous applause.

Everyone here had a high social standing,

so naturally, there were no loud whoops o

f approval. However, that did not stop

them from applauding loudly.
