Jasper was carefree as well and took a seat on the chair with the name ‘JW Electronics’ written behind it. He took a sip of the hot coffee a staff member brought over.
By then, Chad had arrived as well.
Seeing Chad, Jasper suddenly spoke, “Mr. Wright, I heard that Reed City used to be making losses every year until you arrived. You managed to turn that loss into profit and have become quite the taxpayer here in Reed City now, haven’t you?”
Chad waved him off and smiled. “That’s nothing. It’s just a small achievement, incomparable to the work you’ve done at such a young age, Mr, Laine.”
Chad was not being humble, for there really was not another person within the country who could compare to Jasper’s achievements.
The man was an entrepreneur who made tens of billions in a year.
How could anyone compare?
Yet Jasper merely spoke, “I beg to disagree. I know that the biggest problem with your industries here is with the people. It’s too complex with people belonging to different groups and whatnot. They transferred you here so that you could save the situation because the person before you beat up his subordinate and he ended up in the ICU, correct?”
Those were all jokes and rumors that had spread in Reed City. While there were exaggerated bits, they were not complete lies.
Chad smiled. “It’s all in the past now. It wasn’t that severe when it happened.”
“You came here to save the situation, yet you managed to solve a problem no one could resolve. I think that speaks volumes of your strength, Mr. Wright.”
Finally hearing the intent tone in Jasper’s words, Chad prodded. “You seem to have different intentions in mind, Mr. Laine?”
Jasper smiled. “My investing company is in need of a Director of Human Resources. They’ll mainly be in charge of internal management and human resources.
