Jasper thought about it, but he was still skeptical as he could not think of any relevant details.
“Jasper, stop staring into space. Get up and send Mr. Murik off!”
Upon hearing what Saul said, Jasper immediately stood up to appear respectful.
Murik’s face was flushed, obviously from drinking a little too much.
”No… Don’t send me. I can go back by myself…”
“Well then, Mr. Murik, have a safe journey!” Saul relaxed after seeing that the assistant helped Murik into the car and drove off.
He glanced back at Jasper and found that Jasper was contemplating something so he could not help asking.
“Jasper, what’s wrong with you today? Why do you seem so out of it?”
Jasper was taken aback for a moment, and then he explained the reason.
“Mr. Jefferson, I‘m just skeptical about the news of the new testing methods that Mr. Murik said…”
Saul immediately closed the doors and windows before continuing to ask.
“Jasper, do you know what you just said? Thankfully, you said it in front of me, otherwise, it would cause a big commotion if word got out. Don’t you know this?”
Jasper smiled when he saw Saul’s exaggerated reaction.
“Really? It’s not that serious, is it?” Jasper asked.
“I’m not kidding! Who do you think is the most powerful person here in a place like Bashra?”
His goal at the beginning was to cooperate with the Kurt family to win the oil industry. Now, it seemed that he should focus on the long-term goal.
One of example, finding an opportunity to arrange for someone to join the International Petroleum Organization to become his spy.
“Having said that, I know you have a sense of proportion in your actions and words, so I was just reminding you. But why did you question what Murik said?”
Jasper immediately spoke when he heard what Saul said, “Mr. Jefferson, you must know that the International Petroleum Organization is a world-renowned organization covering many countries in the world. If they are going through any changes, they must inform the major media to make the news public as long as they confirm it as a fact…”
“This is an international practice, and no one has dared to break it, not even the United States!”
After saying that, Jasper looked up at Saul and asked, “But regarding this brand-new test, Mr. Jefferson, have you received any rumors from the international community, or have you seen any news reports on this matter?”
