At 9 PM, Wendy dragged her tired body back to the hotel. The moment she opened the door, she saw there seemed to be a man sitting on her bed in the dark room. She was so shocked she wanted to scream. However, in the next second, a hand covered her month.
“It’s me!”
Wendy calmed down a little after hearing Jasper’s voice. Then, she turned on the light in the room. Tears escaped her eyes when she saw that the person in front of her was indeed the man she had been thinking about all day and night.
“It’s you! Weren’t you in Nauritus City? Why did you come to Harbor City at this time?”
Jasper put his arms around Wendy’s waist and said in a reproachful tone, “You got into trouble in Harbor City. Were you planning to shoulder everything yourself if Anna hadn’t told me?”
Wendy did not speak. She bowed her head guiltily and did not dare look into Jasper’s eyes directly.
“ I… I just don’t want to trouble you with everything. After all, I’ll seem useless if I ask you to solve every problem I encounter…”
Upon hearing this, Jasper sighed in disbelief. He tapped her nose and said, “Silly girl, you are my woman. Of course, you’ll want to find your man when you encounter any problems. What’s so embarrassing about that?”
As Jasper said that, he took Wendy’s little hand and sat on the sofa.
“Okay, tell me the problems you’ve encountered. I am here to help you deal with these things this time.”
Although Wendy was a little embarrassed, she was still moved by this man showing up immediately when she encountered a problem. After all, no matter how strong a woman was, in her heart, she still wished that a man would give her a shoulder to lean on and shelter her from all storms. Wendy was no exception.
She sighed softly and said, “Actually, in the beginning, Anna and my work progressed relatively smoothly, but as we got toward the end and we contacted more customers, some people started to boycott us. We were even blocked from the IT sector, so our company can’t recruit brilliant IT talents now.”
Jasper listened to Wendy’s words quietly whilst simultaneously quietly thinking in his heart.
He was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. As an emerging industry that was about to develop, if the outside world was not supportive but instead wanted to suppress them and block them from hiring talents, it was very possible that the domestic industry would not be successful at all.
After a moment of contemplation, Jasper spoke again, “I don’t think this matter is that simple. Those who oppose you may not necessarily oppose the new information industry. They are likely to be against you just for the sake of it… So, tell me, who are you all working with right now, and who is creating obstacles for you?”
