Life at The Top novel Chapter 243

Over at Harbor City in another shipbuilding company. Jasper was calling the Ship King, Spencer Boyle.

He did not wish to trouble Spencer over such a trivial issue. It was because he did not know any of the Boyle family members who were slightly younger.

Spencer, who was far away at Harbor City, was flabbergasted to receive the call from Jasper. After laughing while talking for a moment, Jasper then revealed his intention behind this call.

Spencer knew what was going on and was able to grasp the situation after just listening to half of Jasper’s speech.

“I’m not familiar with the Zion family’s shipbuilding factory in Brac County that you’re talking about. After all, there are just way too many shipbuilding company partners who provide us with the original equipment manufacturer. Most of it is being arranged by the underlings.

“However, in regards to this issue, I’ll order my men to settle it. So, rest assured.”

The Ship King’s reply showed that he greatly respected Jasper.

After all, as the head of one of the four affluent families in Harbor City, to be able to say such a thing already represented an attitude.

“Thank you. Next time when I head over to Harbor City, I’ll definitely come to visit you,” said Jasper with a smile as he also knew how to reciprocate with the same respect.

Spencer burst into laughter and said, “Sure. When you’re here, be sure to be my guest.”

After another word or two, Jasper hung up the call.

“Just now was…” Wendy looked at Jasper, astonished.

Even though she was aware that Jasper had a good relationship with the four affluent families in Harbor City, witnessing Jasper being able to call Spencer straight and even have a nice conversation with him made her feel that it was rather ridiculous.

“It’s exactly the person who you’re thinking of. The next trip to Harbor City, I’ll bring you along and introduce you to him,” said Jasper with a smile.

Wendy let out a faint smile.

“Earlier, I think you said a total of ten sentences. Among them, eight of them were greetings. With just two sentences, the matter is settled.”

“You finally get to witness the ability of your man, right? Come, let’s go have lunch.” Jasper smiled and held Wendy’s hand before walking out of the office.

…

In Harbor City, Spencer indeed attached great importance to Jasper. As soon as he ended the call with Jasper, he immediately dialed another number.

He made a call to his son, Eustass Boyle. Currently, most of the businesses of the Boyle family were under the control of his son.

Eustass, who was having a meeting, immediately raised his hand to stop the meeting when he saw the incoming call. He ordered a group of staff from the higher management to watch over the situation while he answered the call.

“What’s up, Dad?”

Hearing Eustass’ reply made all of the higher-ups stand up straight subconsciously as if the old man was able to see them through the phone.

After listening to the words, Eustass answered and said another two sentences before hanging up the call.

A dead hush befell the conference room. Eustass loosened his necktie and asked, “Who knows if we’re cooperating with a shipbuilding company under the Zion family of Brac County in the Mainland?”

All the bosses exchanged terrified looks. ‘Who the hell is that? We’ve never heard of them before.

‘Such a trivial matter yet it made Spencer, who is half-retired, personally make a call to enquire?’

After some time, a man who was sitting at a corner of the conference room got up weakly. “Mr. Boyle, I vaguely have an impression of this name. It seems that it’s true.”

Eustass waved his hand and said, “You shouldn’t continue with the meeting. Go give them a call and tell them that we, the Boyle family, will not continue working with them.”
