Life at The Top novel Chapter 939

Wendy was a little embarrassed by Jasper’s words.

Though in no time at all, she scrunched up her nose and said, “If it weren’t for you, the boss who’s always absent and does nothing, I wouldn’t have to be like this either.”

“Now that the company is growing and we’re getting more business, our employees are growing in numbers as well. If I don’t put on an attitude and use some means, I’ll get bullied by those old birds at work instead.”

Wendy sat on the couch looking slightly exhausted and said, “Now I understand why it was so hard to meet my dad when I was young. It’s too tiring to manage a company.

“This is after we’ve implemented structural optimization in the company. If it isn’t for the fact that the company’s branches handle the majority of the businesses themselves, I think I’d really need to clone myself to finish so many tasks.”

Hearing Wendy prattling on, which was rare, Jasper poured her a glass of water and said, “If you’re really that tired, take a few days off to relax. The company is so big and there are always people to take care of the company. Let Malcolm share your burdens, and if that’s not enough, hire a few more people who can do it. Work is never-ending. It won’t be worth it if you suffer from burnout.”

Wendy held the glass of water Jasper gave her and took a sip. “I don’t feel comfortable leaving so many tasks to others.”

After saying that, she blinked and looked at Jasper. “Why are you so early today?”

Jasper played with Wendy’s fingers and said nonchalantly, “I went to talk to Steven.”

“Steven? Conrad’s father? The previous head of the Monty family? What did you guys talk about?”

The woman’s curiosity was completely aroused. Wendy turned around and sat on the couch, facing Jasper while asking excitedly.

“What else could we have talked about? If he planned to stand up for his son, then he wouldn’t have anything to discuss with me. Since he wanted to talk, then it’s definitely a compromise.

“We each took a step back. I let the matter drop, whereas Conrad returned the position of authority in the family to his father. Also, the Monty family will not get involved in industries other than minerals for three years.

“This will give JW a chance to develop at ease for three years. Three years later, JW will not be afraid of anyone anymore.”
