As expected, the celebratory banquet for gaining the right to host the Olympics had become a large event involving the entire country.
Entertainment, for citizens right now, was a far cry from the diverse options that would appear in the future. All they had were a few ways to have fun here and there.
The nightlife was mainly dancing at the disco or eating and drinking beer by barbeque stalls. Some larger cities might have karaoke rooms and people would drop by to sing a few songs.
That was all.
Thus, the moment news of the banquet was released, it instantly became a household topic within the country considering its link to the approval to host the Olympics.
Its influence could be considered second to only the annual New Year’s Eve countdown on national television.
Still, the countdown was annual, but there was only ever this one celebratory banquet for having gained the right to host the Olympics.
It made the banquet much more special.
The following day, Jasper and Henry arrived at the airport together.
All the guests from Harbor City would be arriving at Swallow Capital today, so Jasper definitely had to pick them up.
However, Jasper was not the focus when he arrived at the airport.
Considering all four rich families would be arriving together, including a formidable senior like Old Master Law, Swallow Capital immediately resolved to give the highest standard of welcome once they got wind of it.
Disregarding the rest of the welcoming team, the mere fact that both Swallow Capital’s mayor and deputy mayor were present meant that Jasper had to stand aside.
However, no one present was taking him lightly either. After all, the higher-ups were well aware that Harbor City’s four major families and its top rich businessmen were here not for them but for Jasper.
Jasper had done something in Harbor City, and it was hardly a secret to the higher-ups.
