“Excuse me? What lady boss? You can dream on!”
Wendy glared coyly at Jasper before running back to her room.
At the sight of Wendy’s flurried back, Jasper laughed. “Do you think you’d have so many things to worry about if you weren’t the lady boss? Just admit it.”
“Go to hell!”
The door closed with a bang, cutting off Jasper’s field of vision.
The next day at the Southface River Project site. Jasper and Dawson patrolled the site while accompanied by a large group of site managers.
“It’s nearly done.” Looking at the clean road, refreshing greenery, and newly built buildings around him, Jasper said to Dawson with a smile.
“Yes, it’s all done. Now it’s just the ceremony.” Dawson was in a good mood as well.
They had both invested a lot of money and energy in this project in the past year.
Now that everything had finally come to fruition, even Dawson, someone who was used to seeing turbulence in life, felt a sense of joy and gratification. It was just like an old farmer who was finally harvesting his crops after a whole year of busy farming.
“Have all the invitations been sent out?” Jasper asked.
Dawson nodded and said, “The preparations are done. We were just waiting for you to come back from the United States, actually. We have also begun seeking investments. At the moment, 70% of the shops and office buildings in the entire Southface River Project have been rented out.
“However, in order to meet the publicity requirement set by the city’s government, the rental fee for the first three years is extremely low. The city’s government will give us a 70% subsidy and we will bear the 30% ourselves.”
After listening to what Dawson said, Jasper nodded and said, “This is all just a small sum of money. It’s fine. Let’s get this place crowded with people first. As soon as this place starts bustling with energy, we can easily earn back the rental fee by double in three years. Giving comes before receiving. There’s no need to be petty-minded with small gains like that.”
Dawson laughed while waving his hands. “No thanks. Since its establishment, not once has Schuler Group left Southeast Province, so there’s no need to waste the resources moving into a new place. However, I’ll consider setting up a branch there. After all, Schuler Group has a large organizational structure. I plan to set up several branches in the country so it’ll be easier to manage them when they’re all divided.”
Jasper and Dawson were chatting when a group of men approached them.
Conrad Monty!
Seemingly here to see Jasper, Conrad did not halt in his footsteps as soon as he saw him and walked straight to him.
There were several other men next to him. With a glance, Jasper knew what was going on. These were all the leaders of relevant departments in the city’s government whom he had talked to before.
What were these two groups of people doing together?
Jasper narrowed his eyes and walked toward Conrad.
