However, Jasper did not do so.
He knew how to grasp the overall situation well and pinpoint exactly what the city government wanted.
A person like this was a true talent.
“Alright, I’ll tell everyone the good news at once. It’s getting late, so I won’t take up any more of your time.”
Jasper smiled. “Work is the priority. I’ll arrange for someone to drive you back,” he said.
Without the need for further instruction, Sean Tucker immediately gestured at a few of his smart-looking subordinates, and someone accompanied the person in charge out at once.
After the person in charge left, Sean told Jasper courteously, “Mr. Laine, you have such powerful methods of handling things. Take that person in charge for instance, I thought that you wouldn’t treat him nicely even if you chose not to point out that they were being greedy by trying to gain all the benefits without offending us.”
“They’re just doing it because it’s their job. He plays a minor role–the higher-ups are the ones who made the decision. Besides, the higher-ups tend to consider things from a holistic perspective, so they naturally wouldn’t care much about our benefits. It’ll be alright as long as we’re clear about what we can and cannot concede,” Jasper replied in an even tone.
“But Ian Hull and Norman Gardner were clearly targeting us this time around. Despite this, the city government still decided to give them the right to develop the north bank. I can’t help but get pissed off!” Sean complained angrily.
Jasper narrowed his eyes and looked at the undulating slopes of the north bank opposite the river. He suddenly smiled and said, “That may not be a bad thing.”

Inside the hotel.
Crash!
