Dawson asked with a frown, “Are you saying that he’s lying to you? But you can’t lie about a mine that has been explored. We can easily send someone over to investigate. Why would he use such a lousy trick?”
Jasper said knowingly, “Some simple tricks can play a key role in crucial times. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a scam. Half-truths are always the most difficult to expose.”
“Are you going to decline, then?” Dawson asked.
Jasper pondered and said, “If we don’t destroy the Monty family, then they will remain a thorn in our sides or a fish bone stuck in our throats. He wants to destroy me, and I want to use this opportunity to remove the seeds of future troubles.”
“I’m afraid this is not going to be easy to deal with. If Conrad wants to set us up, he will leave plenty of ways out for himself when so much money is involved.”
Dawson frowned slightly as he continued, “Besides, the Monty family has deep roots and a firm foundation. We may be able to deal with Conrad, but let’s not forget that he has a backer, and that person is the hardest to deal with.”
Jasper chuckled and stood up, saying, “No matter what happens, we’ll see how things progress first!”
Two days was neither too long nor too short.
In the midst of his hectic life, two days went by in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Jasper and Dawson worked together to prepare for Southface River Project’s topping-out ceremony.
On the other hand, Jack planned to officially launch the online point card payment system, a joint partnership between Sena and Terizone. There were many tasks involved that required frequent communication with Terizone and Commercial Bank.
Plus, Sena was now a proper listed company and currently the most popular foreign-listed internet company in the domestic internet industry. Therefore, he planned to hold an annual meeting in Waterhoof City.
Jack’s intentions were clear when he reported this to Jasper. He wanted Jasper to attend it.
Jasper did not decline. After deciding on a time with Jack, they waited for Sena’s annual meeting next week.
The topping-out ceremony for the Southface River Project would be held immediately after Sena’s annual meeting.
There were many complicated affairs to handle, and when Jasper was done handling them one by one, two days had already gone by.
Today, Conrad showed up at his doorsteps.
He was not alone. He brought with him Valentine Estrada, a man Jasper once had dealings with.
The two of them brought a stack of information and went straight to Jasper’s office.
“If I hadn’t heard about it in advance, I wouldn’t believe that your parent company is squeezed into such a tiny villa.” Conrad sat across from Jasper with a smile.
