Life at The Top novel Chapter 949

“No, no, no. There’s no need to do so. There’s really no need to do that.”

Jerome was the most anxious person among everyone right now. He rushed forward and pleaded with all his might, “There isn’t a problem with this restaurant. I didn’t carry out an investigation just now. I made a mistake by issuing this notice. You don’t have to carry out an investigation!” he begged.

Jasper looked at Jerome and said in a calm tone, “Oh? Mr. Canne, you were the one who claimed that there’s a problem with my restaurant just a moment ago. Now, you’re the one who’s saying that there’s no problem as well. Can you tell me if there’s a problem with my restaurant or not?”

“No! I guarantee that there isn’t a problem with it!” Jerome cried out in a state of panic. He was so desperate that he was close to bursting out into tears.

Jasper’s expression hardened. “Since there isn’t a problem, how do you explain this notice?” he questioned.

Jerome stared at the notice in regret. “It’s all a misunderstanding…” he said listlessly.

“Secretary Lee and Director Sund, do as you wish,” Jasper said coldly.

His words wielded the power to determine Jerome Canne’s fate.

After determining Jerome’s fate, Jasper did not bother to spare him another glance. He invited Secretary Lee into the restaurant for a meal.

As for Director Sund… He would be staying behind to deal with the aftermath of the incident. Besides, he was not qualified to have a meal at the same table as Jasper.

Director Sund stared at Jerome, who was as pale as a sheet, with a cold look. “Jerome Canne, submit a resignation letter to me when you’re back. I’ll organize an election for the new chairman of the self-regulatory council of the food and beverage industry tomorrow,” he said in a stiff tone.

After speaking, Director Sund turned around and left without sparing another glance at Jerome and Magnus whose expressions were full of despondence and disbelief.

Through this incident, Director Sund realized that there were many internal problems within the self-regulatory councils. Furthermore, the self-regulatory council of the food and beverage industry was not the only council in Nauritus City. There were plenty of different councils in each industry.

Therefore, Director Sund intended to think carefully and devise a plan to increase the positive impacts brought about by these self-regulatory councils in order to reduce the mess caused by idiots like Jerome and Magnus Canne.

…

The farce ended just like that. After that, Jasper and Secretary Lee did not mention this incident again.

After all, in the eyes of both Jasper and Secretary Lee, Jerome and Magnus were nobodies who did not deserve to be mentioned. There was no need to bring them up again.

They knew that it was unlikely for Jerome and Magnus to appear before them ever again.

“Mr. Laine, this hotpot restaurant of yours is rather exquisite,” Secretary Lee remarked as he admired the interior furnishing of Hello Hotpot. Besides, the waiters spoke to the customers passionately and provided extremely meticulous service.

Jasper chuckled and said, “This is one of the reasons why I decided to invest in this restaurant. Come on, Secretary Lee. Let’s make a toast. Make sure to frequent this restaurant in the future. I won’t let you eat for free, but I’ll give you a discount since we’re friends.”

Secretary Lee guffawed loudly as he made a toast with Jasper. They both downed the contents of their glasses in one go.

…

It was ten o’clock at night after they finished their meal.
