Jasper did not say anything. He smiled meaningfully and watched the dramatic scene in front of him.
At this moment, Dean walked toward Jasper. If Jasper did not show up, he would really have been forced to step down today!
“Mr. Laine… I…”
“Okay, don’t say anything.” Jasper waved his hand lightly before turning his head and looking at Rio with interest.
“Jasper, I’m telling you, don’t be such a savage!” Rio yelled.
Today, Rio was definitely the one who had been hit the hardest. In just a few minutes, he had fallen from heaven to hell. Just now, he almost succeeded in taking the position, but Jasper appeared in time, and in just a few words, all the partisans were frightened and his dream was shattered.
“Rio, do you know what it means to not see the wood for the trees? There will always be people better than you, do you understand?” Jasper said with a grin.
“Nonsense, of course, I know that!” Rio became more and more emotional. He was completely different from his usual calm and experienced self.
Jasper shook his head. “You‘ll know soon.”
Jasper had already arranged for Jake and others to carry out a crackdown plan against the Potter family’s industry, stocks, and so on. He believed that they would get the news soon, hence Jasper walked toward the door after saying that.
Dean hurriedly followed behind him. “Mr. Laine, wait for me… Thank you, Mr. Laine…”
“You don’t need to thank me. As the saying goes, a great favor is not enough to be thanked with words. You just need to remember the words in your heart, and you don’t need to say them. Also, as of today, I can be sure that no one in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce will covet for your place again. Next, you should work hard and manage the Haddock Chamber of Commerce well. It’s best if you lead Haddock to further glory.”
To be honest, Jasper was expectant of this.
He had high hopes for Dean, and he even felt that Dean’s achievement in the future would not be inferior to Gale’s.
A great favor was not enough to be thanked with words?
Dean knew very well that Jasper’s help toward him today was very important, and it could be considered a great favor. However, to Jasper, it required a very slight effort.
“Mr. Laine, to be frank, l was so envious of you just now. You just said a few words and those people from Haddock were scared into retreating. If I had your ability, I wouldn’t have been bullied by Rio.” Dean chuckled.
“Remember, everything in this world is made by your own hands. The only person you can rely on is yourself. I hope you can become stronger in the future.”
After speaking, Jasper became silent.
Dean had the Haddock Chamber of Commerce as his backing. As long as he managed the Haddock Chamber of Commerce well in the future, his future would be boundless. He was wondering if the two would become enemies because of their interests in the future.
Jasper did not know either, but he could only hope they would not.
“Mr. Laine, let me treat you to dinner tonight, I know a new restaurant…”
“No need, I still need to take care of some things over in Harbor City, so I have to go back.”
