At this moment, Zachary, who was sitting in a corner, was given a look by Old Master Law. He quickly got up and started telling them everything that happened back then.
After the big shots heard that, they nodded and said, “Not bad indeed. He’s able to handle the pressure from the west. This young man has a great performance.”
Old Master Law chortled and said, “Exactly what I thought. Since us old farts are still around, we have to check on these excellent young people and give them more responsibilities. That way, it’ll be beneficial to the long-term plan in the future.”
Kennedy was sitting in a corner. While listening to the big shots praising Jasper non-stop, he chuckled coldly in his heart.
‘Praise him more. It’s even better if you praise him to the heavens. The more he climbs, the harder he’ll fall. He’ll die an even more horrible death that way!’
The more expectations he had on him, the more pressure he would have. Jasper was in his 20s, not even in his 30s yet. Would he be able to handle such a heavy burden?”
Plus, there would always be people who did not like him.
For example, the two other big shots. They were smiling this entire time without saying anything.
…
“Sir, 30 seconds left.”
Ted Swanson said to Jasper respectfully.
Jasper nodded and told Ted, “We have to start on time. We can’t be late or early even for one second.”
Ted patted himself on the chest and said, “Don’t worry, sir. We’ve matched our watches beforehand so I can promise that we’re accurate to the second.”
“The people from Harbor City are amazing. The effects later will be so exceptional,” Ted said while grinning.
Jasper smiled and took a deep breath. He lifted his head to look solemnly at the night sky above Workers’ Stadium.
After today, no one else in this country would be able to compete with Easy Media.
After the last second, at 7 p.m. on the dot, the celebratory banquet for Swallow Capital gaining the right to host the Olympics officially started.
Boom boom boom!
A string of loud explosions came from nearby the Workers’ Stadium. A lot of citizens who did not know what was going on looked at each other. They had no idea what was happening.
“Look! Fireworks!’
An observant person pointed at the sky and yelled excitedly.
At this moment, on a piece of land that was covering tens of thousands of square meters nearby the Workers’ Stadium, an array of fireworks that had been meticulously planned and arranged were firing at the sky at the same time.
Countless bright and splendid fireworks soared into the sky, exploding in mid-air and turning into incomparable huge fireworks. They were bringing the ultimate visual feast in the world to everyone.
These fireworks were specially ordered by Jasper by contacting the top domestic fireworks and firecrackers manufacturers.
There were a total of 100,000 fireworks, which cost Jasper more than six million Somer Dollars.
Everyone was immersed in this huge show.
At this moment, the array of fireworks that shocked the world during the opening ceremony of the Olympics in 2008 did not exist yet. Tens of thousands of live audiences and millions of audiences in front of their televisions watching the live broadcast were in awe of what Jasper had planned.
One could see the splendid fireworks no matter where one was in Swallow Capital. Plus, it was a sight to behold if one was near the stadium.
It was so shocking and even shook everyone’s souls.
Then, the loud and clear national anthem played.
When everyone saw this scene and heard this sound, they could only feel their blood boiling and roaring in their bodies like never before. Then, an unspeakable sense of shock and pride emerged spontaneously from within.
Everyone was silent as they lifted their heads to look at the sky.
Suddenly, the fireworks stopped for a while.
