Everyone stared at Jasper. They seemed to be waiting to see how he would react.
Not even Old Master Law spoke as he was also gazing meaningfully at him.
Anna’s eyes twinkled, and there were several times when she seemed to want to speak up and help ease the pressure Jasper was receiving from Old Master Turner. However, a strict look from Zachary stopped her.
Only Jasper could answer Old Master Turner now.
If anyone else spoke, it would mean they were disrespecting Old Master Turner.
The corners of Erik’s lips turned upward into a mocking smile.
He had long since been annoyed watching Jasper be praised by everyone.
However, he now understood what it meant by ‘the higher you climb, the higher you fall’.
Old Master Turner was still the best!
“You’re right, Old Master Turner.”
Jasper spoke as everyone stared. He was submissive from the very first sentence.
The crowd could not help but be slightly disappointed.
Erik’s disappointment stemmed from how Jasper had decided to be a goose. If Jasper had dared to go against Old Master Turner, he would have had the chance to not only reprimand but slap Jasper in front of everyone. That would have been so fun.
However, without waiting for anyone else to speak up, Jasper continued saying, “But as the greats who have come before me said, it’s permissible for a small portion of people to gain richness first, as they’ll be the ones who lead the majority population to shared prosperity in the future. It’s also one of the guidelines for the development of our economic policy.
“Financial activities can stimulate the economic market. When enterprises receive investments, they will increase the scale of their productions. Won’t that increase job opportunities? The activities in the market accelerate when it receives funds. Won’t that boost the economy as a whole?
“Thus, in my opinion, no matter what methods are employed, they should be valid as long as they’re both legal and logical.”
InterContinental Hotel’s Imperial Ballroom fell silent after the people present heard what Jasper had to say.
