Life at The Top novel Chapter 1991

“World Financial Center?”

Jasper was stunned for a moment when h e heard her.

He had almost forgotten about the World Financial Center.

All it took was one look at his expression and Wendy immediately knew what he was thinking.

“We invested a few billion into that center! You can’t possibly have forgotten about it, can you?!” Wendy huffed at Jasper in exasperation.

“I would never.”

Jasper did not know whether to laugh or feel embarrassed as he quickly explained, “It’s just that it’s been a while since I had t o worry about it, so I was shocked to hear that its construction has been finished.”

“Construction for the center’s structure had already been completed two months back, and the building already passed its acceptance testing and had its official topping-out ceremony last month. They’ve been carrying out internal renovation these days, and at this current rate of progress, we should be able to officially use the building soon,” Wendy replied begrudgingly.

Jasper’s gaze lit up. “That’s good, then. Hopefully, it’ll be done by the time we’ve reshuffled the company so we can move the headquarters to the World Financial Center.”

Wendy spoke up, “Actually, there’s been a few hotels and large-scale groups who came to ask us about our lot selling plans a long time ago. Many companies seem inclined to purchase one of the center’s levels for use.

“But I rejected them temporarily since the center’s construction hadn’t been completed at that time and I assumed that you wouldn’t want to discuss things like that so soon. Now that construction of the World Financial Center is finished, I don’t think we can drag this matter on any longer.”

“Have the marketing and operations

department discuss the terms with these companies then. I’m not planning to sell

any of the lots, but they can choose to sign a long-term lease. Choose only one brand of hotel, and have the departments decide the rest themselves,” Jasper stated.

JW Capital’s World Financial Center was currently the tallest skyscraper in the world. It was a landmark within the country, and it would certainly remain as the tallest skyscraper and landmark in Waterhoof city for another 20 years. Not t o mention that the Center was built on an extremely attractive plot of land. There was no way Jasper would sell such a treasure no matter how much others offered to pay, and he did not need to worry about lacking tenants for rent.

With the economic development of the country, ownership over this property would only appreciate and rent would only increase. In less than twenty years, Jasper would earn enough rent to compensate for the building’s costs and would be making a huge profit from the center.

Even elementary school children would know how to make such an easy decision.

Wendy nodded in acknowledgment.

Dawson was just about to leave for the company by the time they returned home.

“You’re back,” Dawson stated as he stood by the car and watched the two alight the car.

“Are you going to work, Dad? Just leave the business to your employees, don’t overwork yourself,” Wendy approached him to say.

Dawson waved her off with a smile. “I already experienced the retired life some time ago, but relaxing didn’t quite sit right with me. I feel better having something to do.”

“Alright. You’ve just returned, so go rest first. I’ll get going.’

Watching Dawson get in the car and leave, Jasper leaned over to whisper in Wendy’s ear, “How about we find a partner for your dad?”

Wendy jumped in a start and glared at Jasper, huffing irritably, “What kind of nonsense is that?”

Jasper shrugged and replied, “Don’t you feel that your dad’s too lonely? I don’t think loneliness is good for an elder’s overall wellbeing. ۱۱

“Stop with that nonsense. As if he’d agree to that,” Wendy rebutted.
