“Beautiful,” Jasper said sincerely.
Scarlet smiled. She turned around and was about to walk away, but noticed the gloomy expression on the wealthy, second generation White heir’s face.” “Alright, can you go away now?”
“I came to Gladness Entertainment Movies to take care of some business. Why should I leave?” Jasper shot back.
Mack almost laughed out loud. “The f*ck, you damned country bumpkin, I’ve met a lot of sons of b*tches, but you’re the biggest one there is. You’re here at Gladness Entertainment Movies to take care of business? Do you actually know what this place is?”
“Get lost now! Or I’ll call security to throw you out!”
Jasper said coldly, “Are you an employee of this company?”
Mack gave a smug smile as he replied, “My father is the vice president of Gladness Entertainment Movies!”
“I asked—are you an employee of this company?”
Mack’s expression gradually darkened. “You’re really not going to give up until reality smacks you in the face, huh? You want to act all high and mighty in front of me even when you’re not? Alright then..”
Seeing that the situation was escalating, Scarlet hurriedly said to Mack, “Mack, why don’t we leave now?” Today’s company meeting is very important and Mr. Lane will be attending personally. Let’s not waste any more time.”
Mack eyed Jasper coldly and ground out through gritted teeth, “Count yourself lucky today, bumpkin.”
As he spoke, Mack directed his words at the middle-aged man beside him, who had broken out in a cold sweat. “This is Gladness Entertainment Movies. It’s a big company!

“No no no, rest assured Mr. White—I’ll call security immediately and chase him out.” The middle-aged man’s expression was full of panic.
With a snort, Mack eyed Jasper and sneered, “Bumpkin, Harbor City isn’t somewhere you can come and act like some pretentious prick. Remember that. Now get lost!”
With that, Mack and Scarlet left together.
With a frosty glance at Mack’s back, Jasper headed inside the building.
Secretary Lee did not know what the middle-aged man had done to offend Jasper. Nevertheless, she replied, “He is one of the deputy reception managers.”
“Have him pack up his things and leave.”
After saying this, Jasper immediately headed toward the elevator.
Secretary Lee looked at the violently trembling middle-aged man, whose forehead was drenched in cold sweat. Shaking her head, she noted, “You heard him, right? Go get your salary from finance, sign the termination agreement, and leave.”
The middle aged man asked indignantly, “That fellow? Who is he? Isn’t he just some country bumpkin from the Mainland?”
“He’s our new boss.”
With a look of pity at the middle-aged man, Secretary Lee hurried to catch up with Jasper and left.
