Life at The Top novel Chapter 510

While they were talking about issues of faraway lands, Jasper was very willing to put a bit of hard work into what looked like nonsensical chatter.

Within the country, business was always a game of favors.

People like Vita were not eye-catching characters, and he would be considered as someone from the lower classes among those whom Jasper dealt with on a daily basis.

However, Vita held a very important position.

Even if Jasper had called for a meeting with the chief of ICBS’ Waterhoof City branch, there was no guarantee that he could haggle the price to 300 million Somer Dollars.

Yet with Vita, he could.

While the chief of the branch would certainly hold more authority than Vita, the chief had much more things to think about. Vita was only in charge of this singular aspect, so mediation became much easier.

That was why, in some ways, the lackeys held more power than the boss.

With John here helping the process, Jasper hoping to get Vita on his side, and Vita hoping to have a millionaire like Jasper supporting him, the trio had a very joyful conversation.

The night deepened, and Vita bade them farewell first. John had a study meeting to attend the next day, so he left Waterhoof City for the Southeast Province overnight as well.

Jasper did not say much about it, considering his friendship with John ran much deeper than his friendship with Vita. The two shared tacit understanding, so there was no need for unnecessary pleasantries.

“Isn’t he just the office manager of a branch? Why’d you spend five whole hours entertaining him…”

Henry immediately began to complain once Jasper returned, having lost his patience due to staying in the room for a long time.

“Characters like him don’t even have the right to talk to me in Harbor City!”

Jasper hung his jacket on the clothes rack and huffed a reply. “This infinitesimal character that you look down on just saved me 150 million tonight. You still think the five hours was a waste?”
