Jax panicked even more. He hurriedly looked at Jasper, who was sitting in front of him, and suddenly showed a pleading look.
“I only have half a day, so you have to listen to me!”
Jax tried his best to calm himself down and immediately changed his expression to look at Jasper with a huge grin on his face.
“In truth, we still have room to discuss this matter.” Jasper nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue, “Indeed, I originally wanted to cooperate with you.”
Upon hearing this, Jax thought he held the bargaining chip to continue negotiating to ease the situation, so he hurriedly started to fawn over the person in front of him.
“Of course, we can cooperate! I have understood Lane Automotive’s intention to cooperate with us. If you agree, you can sign the contract immediately and we will not delay this matter for even one second!”
Jax’s attitude did a 180-degree change.
Regardless of if it was because of Larry’s pressure on him or his because of his work, he had to treat Jasper well today. After all, if he lost his job, he would have nothing.
“We will surely have a pleasant cooperation and we will not trouble you in the future. Plus, we’ll even escort you and protect you.”
Of course, Jax chose the former option of partnering with Lane Automotive over losing the company’s stock value as well as his job. He also understood that at this time, admitting defeat and being humble would be the best way out for him. It was possible that from now on, he would understand that protecting the company was the most important thing.
“Now, our company has lost its profits and it’s debts are at a sky-high figure. If you don’t help me, I won’t be able to pay them back even if I go bankrupt.”
“Why should I help you?” Jasper smiled.
“Back then, it was my fault. However, if the two companies work together, it’ll be good for you too,” Jax replied quickly.
“What if I purchase your company directly?”
Jasper’s sentence caused Jax to freeze on his ground. He did not know what to say to that.
The corners of Jasper’s lips were turned upward. Meanwhile, Jax fell to the ground limply when he saw Jasper’s smile.
Jax never imagined that one day it would come to this point. He originally thought that this young man was not as amazing as everyone claimed, but now, reality had slapped him hard across the face.
Beckett finally could not stand it anymore. He pulled Jax up from the ground and said to him with some disgust.
