Henry, who was eager to curse, did not show any fluctuations in his expression. He was even looking forward to seeing what sort of performance and script Jasper would put on and say next.
Jasper’s comment which was said with a tone that made him appear calm made Leilani experience a brief moment of suffocation.
“I still have some personal questions. Usually, when you’re making friends, do you have any special criteria? Do you disregard identity and status, or do those who are able to mingle with you need to possess a certain amount of wealth and status?”
“I have no criteria. What matters is that I get along with them. I never look at their wealth nor status when I’m making friends because I know that usually, those who are of the same age as me will not be as rich as me!”
Henry caught the sign and grasped it on his chest. He was feeling an ache in his heart as he looked at Jasper’s calm expression. Suddenly, he was feeling slightly envious of him. ‘When can I be just like Jasper, able to blurt out such arrogant words carefreely?’
“Mr. Laine, you’ve such high expectations in your investments. I heard that your returns from your previous investment were terrifying. May I ask what’s your feeling about that?”
“Well, I don’t have many feelings about it. Actually, when you’ve earned a ton of fortune, money will become just numbers to you.”
Hearing it made Henry, who was beside him, and Leilani feel a strong urge coursing through them…
Leilani forced herself to suppress the emotions within her. Her expression remained composed as she continued with the interview.
“Then, may I ask, do you have a target, Mr. Laine? Or in other words, have you ever thought that one day, you’ll be able to obtain the title of being the richest man in the country?”
“Nope. if you insist on asking for a target, well I guess I should at least be the richest man in the world?”
Leilani was speechless.
This time, it was both Leilani and Henry whose expressions turned dark again. Even Leilani, who had received very stern training, was unable to remain composed in this interview.
Even Henry wanted to purchase some cardiac medications!
‘Are… Are these even words spoken by a human?
‘In his eyes, being the richest man in the country is not at all something to be proud of?’
Next up, Leilani followed her usual schedule and asked Jasper a few more questions before ending the interview.
After the camera was off and the interview was over, Leilani let out a breath of relief. It was as if she had completed a big project.
“Mr. Laine, you’re no doubt a more unique rich man I’ve ever interviewed. Not one of them but the only one.”
Leilani’s comment was approved by all the workers.
The interview session was completed after being struck by a few continuous sudden strikes.
