Life at The Top novel Chapter 460

Jasper’s straightforward attitude was causing them to feel uneasy.

However, now that Jasper had mentioned his two requests, it meant he was about to retaliate.

Ian and Norman made sure they were on high alert. They were interested in what Jasper would do.

“Please go on, Mr. Laine,” the person in charge from Nauritius City’s government waved a hand as he spoke jovially.

‘Persuading Jasper’ had been one of the items included in the task list their superior gave them. That was no easy feat.

It would be alright if the person was an average businessman as these people never dared go against the city hall. However, Jasper Laine was no ordinary businessman. Even though he was the person in charge from Nauritius City’s government, he did not have the guts to act cocky to Jasper either.

However, he had not needed to say anything before Jasper indicated his interest and cooperation. How could he not feel happy? Jasper seemed like the most handsome man in the world to him right now.

“It’s simple. Building a bridge is a good thing, and although I intend to support it, I currently have a project that requires several million dollars of payments every single day. Thus, I won’t be able to support the project financially. That’s my first request.”

Jasper had a bashful smile on his face. He looked like a young apprentice who was bashfully telling his master that he was still inexperienced and needed much more practice.

“The second one is a suggestion. My suggestion is that this bridge extends to where the Southface River meets the sea. Not only will we be able to connect the north and south banks, but we’ll also be able to reach several islands.

“You should give it your all if you’re trying to do good. The people on the islands rely on ferries to travel, and they have no roads that lead to the outside world. How are we going to boost the economy that way? You’ll benefit more people if you extend the bridge to reach the estuary.”

Norman nearly started cursing when he heard what Jasper said.

That little b*stard Jasper Laine, he was throwing them under the bus!

Norman struggled to stop himself from punching Jasper as he watched the latter smile and talk.
