Life at The Top novel Chapter 197

However, he did feel a little guilty now after hearing Jasper’s past achievements and how Old Master Law had already taken action.

“If that’s the case, then I think Mr. Law’s suggestion is reasonable.”

The official wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought of a compromise.

“Everyone is just trying to protect the economy of Harbor City, so there’s no need to make this so tense. Why don’t we let Jasper host the mission this time? However, Jake, as the representative of the government, you should go along. If Jasper can’t handle it, then you can help him too.”

The 100 billion market rescue plan was funded by the four rich families and the government. As such, it did not matter who was the host. The four rich families or the government would definitely ask someone to keep watch.

As this was the case, Zachary did not have any opinions on it.

“Okay, I want to see how skillful this country bumpkin from Mainland is!” Jake said with a cold chuckle.

He did not go against what the Laws wanted, however, he was genuinely looking down on this country bumpkin named Jasper.

He was just a hillbilly from Mainland, so what knowledge and experience did he have? How dare Jasper steal this chance to rescue the market from him?

Initially, he wanted to use this market rescue opportunity to better his reputation so that his business would have a bright future.

However, everything had gone down the drain now.

Jake’s heart was bleeding.

Half an hour later, Zachary went back home. The people tagging along were Jake and a few officers from the government of Harbor City.

“Jasper, this is Jake Cullen, the number one professional stock trader in Harbor City. He just came back from Wall Street. Initially, the government planned to ask him to host the rescue, but I recommended you.”

Zachary reminded Jasper indifferently. Then, he patted his shoulder and said in a low voice, “However, he’s nothing to me compared to you. You don’t have to treat him like a fellow human being.”

Jasper almost burst out laughing at Zachary’s last sentence.

“You’re Jasper?”

Jake narrowed his eyes and said with a cold chuckle.

“Mr. Cullen, hello,” Jasper nodded and said courteously.
