After Jasper left Mr. McNeal’s place, he went directly to Dean’s house.
Dean’s injuries were not particularly serious. After spending a few days in the hospital, he was discharged and went home early this morning. However, at the end of the day, he was still injured, so he needed to rest at home for a few days.
Dean was delighted to see Jasper visiting him.
“Jasper, you’re here…”
Jasper glanced at him, noticed that he was still wrapped in gauze, and asked caringly, “Why don’t you stay in the hospital for a few more days?”
Dean explained with a smile, “It’s not that serious. I figured that there are still a lot of things in Haddock waiting for me to come back and deal with, and it was inconvenient to work in the hospital, so I just asked them to discharge me.”
Jasper knew that Dean was actually very stressed. After all, when Gale was president, the achievements he made were too dazzling. The heights he had reached were not attainable by ordinary people.
Now that Dean had taken the load off of him, he had to do something to shut the mouths of those old guys. Therefore, Dean’s heart was somewhat anxious.
“Actually, you don’t need to be in such a hurry. After all, you just took over the Haddock Chamber of Commerce. Everything can come slowly.” As Jasper spoke, he sat down on the sofa.
Dean smiled and shook his head. After that, he said in a bitter tone, “Jasper, you have no idea. Although with your support, Haddock seems to be peaceful on the surface, I also know that there are a lot of people like Rio hiding in the dark. If I don’t grow as soon as possible, this time it was Rio, and next time, it’ll be someone else.”
After hearing what Dean said, Jasper fell silent. Admittedly, what Dean said was true.
After being silent for a while, Jasper spoke again, “Actually, it is very simple for you to make certain achievements within the Haddock Chamber of Commerce. Right now, there is the biggest opportunity waiting for you at the beginning of this century.”
After hearing this, Dean was shocked and asked curiously, “What kind of opportunity?”
“Jude Whorton from Millenia Group has started to take over the Tri Delta real estate market and is ready for big development. I can tell you with certainty that soon, Somerland will undergo earth-shaking changes because of this real estate reform and development. However, he’s not going to be able to swallow the entire real estate market in Somerland alone.”
As Jasper said this, he stared into Dean‘s eyes and said in a serious tone, “If the Haddock Chamber of Commerce can enter the real estate market under your leadership and create good results, I think those elders, even if they have any opinions about you in their hearts, would not dare to point fingers at you again.”
“Really?” Dean’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
