At eight o’clock in the evening, Jasper drove directly to the food stall. Of course, Rowan and Beckett had arrived early, and the waiter was bringing barbecue and beer to the table.
“Mr. Laine, you’re here!” Rowan grinned at him and waved.
Jasper glanced at them, strode over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Beckett filled the glass in front of Jasper.
“Mr. Laine, have you heard? The news broke an hour ago that Homer held a domestic press conference and decided to officially withdraw all production lines from Somerland!”
Jasper lowered his eyes when he heard this. He was not surprised by the news coming from Beckett. On the contrary, all this was actually what he expected.
“With the strong rise of Lane Automotive Factory, it is inevitable that foreign-ovmed cars will gradually withdraw from the domestic first-tier market. However, domestic cars still have a long way to go in the future. You should continue the process even when I’m not here.”
“Haha! Of course, of course!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Laine, we won’t let you down!”
Rowan, Beckett, and the others patted their chests to assure him.
Just as he was talking, a Maserati drove over and stopped by the side of the street. Then, the siblings, Henry and Anna, got out of the car. Anna‘s exceptional temperament and gorgeous face immediately attracted a lot of attention when she appeared. However, to her, aside from Jasper, no one was good enough for her.
“Jasper, I’m sorry, something happened at home so that’s why we’re late.” Henry walked toward them with a smile.
Rowan deliberately joked, “It’s not too late, but if you were a little later, we would have already gone home.”
Anna ignored them and went directly to Jasper to pull out a chair before sitting down.
“Jasper, I heard you’re going back to Nauritus City soon, right?”
Jasper nodded. “I’ve dealt with the matters here in Harbor City and it’s time for me to go back.”
There was a trace of reluctance in Anna’s eyes. She said, “I was originally going to go to Swallow Capital, but there are a lot of things going on at home recently, so I can‘t leave. But when I’m done, I’ll go to Nauritus City to see you.”
“Okay, then I’ll be waiting to see you in Nauritus City,” Jasper said with a smile.
At this time, Henry said , “By the way, Jasper, before we came, Grandpa asked me to bring you a message. He said that he wanted to see you and had something to talk to you about.”
Jasper nodded when he heard that. “What a coincidence. I planned to visit him tomorrow too.”
Upon hearing that, Henry suggested again, “Why don’t you come back with me and stay at our house tonight so that you can save yourself a lot of trouble tomorrow morning.”
