Life at The Top novel Chapter 836

“Do what?” Wendy asked curiously.

She did not even notice that Jasper had said ‘Mom and Dad’ instead of ‘my mom and dad’, giving Jasper the chance to take advantage of her.

When Wendy noticed Jasper’s smirk, she realized what was going on. She said angrily and embarrassedly, “Ugh, stop it! Can you judge the situation before you get into mischief?!

“Your son needs to be disciplined, Aunt Sally, Uncle Charlie!”

When Sally saw Wendy protesting like a child to her, she chuckled and said, “Jasp did a great job this time.”

Wendy was both embarrassed and mad, itching to punch Jasper, that idiot, to death.

“I’m serious about the things I say. I’m not joking.”

Jasper stroked his chin and said, “Actually, Mom and Dad, you’re not that old yet. Besides, you have been busy working all these years and probably don’t feel comfortable having so much free time all of a sudden. So I’m just thinking if I should bring you to Brac County?”

Wendy was a quick-witted woman. She reacted instantly, asking, “Are you referring to the shipyard in Brac County?”

Jasper laughed. “Not bad. You know me best.”

The shipyard was the Zions’ property that Jasper had previously acquired for 50 million. Jasper sat by the bed and explained it to his curious-looking parents.

“I acquired a shipyard at Brac County previously. It’s a factory that makes ships. I have too many businesses to handle right now so I don’t plan to focus too much energy on that for now. But it’s still a factory with huge assets, so it’ll be such a pity to abandon it!

“Therefore, I’ve decided to send you there to take care of the shipyard. Doing so will keep you busy and it’s not even that tiring to do. You’re mainly supervising production and managing workers. It’s not going to be tedious work.”

Jasper liked his arrangement, though as soon as Charlie and Sally heard what he said, they quickly shook their heads in unison.

“No way, I don’t know anything about that.” Charlie refused.

“That’s right. Your dad is used to being supervised by others and has never supervised anyone. If you send us to a shipyard, we won’t know what to do and will only mess things up for you,” Sally added.

Seeing how his wife was looking down on him, Charlie hastened to explain, “Who says I’ve not supervised anyone before? I was the deputy captain of the production team when I was a young lad!”

“Mm, and you got kicked out in two weeks. Don’t you feel embarrassed to say that?” Sally exposed him mercilessly.

Jasper and Wendy exchanged glances with each other, smiling. Jasper said, “You don’t have to worry about your managerial roles. I’ll send you helpers. Let them do the complicated stuff. You just need to watch them and keep an eye on the products, that’s all.

“I will be the one to make the orders, and when things slowly begin to settle and you’ve also learned a thing or two, you can then take over completely.”

In fact, Jasper did not care about the shipyard at all.

It was mainly because Jasper had realized a problem after this incident.

His parents were simply too bored.

Things were still fine when they were in the countryside. They knew their neighbors and had a few plots of land to manage. Even though work was tough, they had no time to laze around doing nothing.

Jasper would never let his parents go back to farming, but it would be damaging to a person’s physical and mental health to suddenly become idle when they were already used to a hectic life.

Therefore, Jasper decided to send his parents to the shipyard near the sea to manage it. Jasper did not care if the factory was not managed well. He just wanted his parents to be happy.

Of course, persuading them required skills.

“Therefore, I’ll assist you in getting businesses this year but you still need to make a few trips yourself. This shipyard means a lot to me and I’m worried about leaving this to someone else. See, I don’t have the time to manage it, but at the same time, I find it a pity to just let it lie idle. I’m too busy.”
