“Send out my instructions. Keep Jasper Laine's personal information strictly confidential. No one is allowed to disclose it!” John ordered. He knew very well about Jasper’s current status and position. It would not be a good thing if such a large customer was taken away. Furthermore, any leaked information would cause unnecessary trouble for Jasper as well. “Yes!” Harold nodded, understanding what the president meant. He immediately went to carry out the order. In the year 2000, at this specific timeframe, the business models of most domestic industries were still at a very basic stage. In this era when stock trading was still new, making billions of dollars in profits from the futures market overnight was simply a myth. Jasper knew that he could not hold back the news about him making money in the crude oil futures market and that it would cause a sensation, but he did not expect this matter to cause pandemonium. Online portals and physical newspapers immediately publish

“Jasp, you asked me to help you pay attention to the news about the house a few days ago. I heard something today. “There’s a villa area in the city. It has been more than half a year since its opening, but the sales are very bleak. The developers can’t support it anymore, so they’re doing promotional activities.” “The villa area in the city? Is it called Thornton Park?” Jasper asked suddenly. “How do you know?” Wendy asked in surprise. Of course, Jasper knew about it. In his previous life, the boss of the company he worked for was the owner of Thornton Park. Thornton Park was indeed a villa area launched by local real estate developers in early 2000. It was mainly targeted at successful entrepreneurs and business owners, but the positioning was too high-end and advanced. As a result, the number of units sold in the two years after the opening did not even exceed 20%. Later, the developer went bankrupt and the project was taken over by others. It did not take long for the r

"I didn't expect to meet you at this place, Wendy."Janice yanked the man beside her and came over to Wendy. She glanced at Jasper beside her and said disdainfully, "Wendy, you do have a special preference. Is he your boyfriend?""Dear, who is this lady?"The man beside Janice looked at Wendy, immediately attracted by her gorgeous looks and vibe.If it were not for Janice's presence, he would have gone forth to court her."She was the goddess of our university, but after so many years, she's still the same way, always putting on an act as if she's very pure!" Janice hooked her arms around the man's arm and looked at Wendy proudly.During their times at university, they were both goddesses of the university. However, regardless of looks or the vibes they gave off, Janice would always lose to Wendy. That led to her having a miserable life in university.Janice always bore the grudge. She did not expect to bump into her at this place. Besides, Wendy was with a very old-fashioned ma

Dickson looked at Wendy with a perverted look, and this made Janice feel hateful that she started gritting her teeth. She quickly got herself involved and held onto Dickson's arm, saying, "You naughty, I'm right here and you're flirting with another woman."Dickson burst into laughter. He raised his palm and slapped Janice's butt, saying, "Don't worry, the one I love most is definitely you."As he was saying, Dickson glanced at Jasper coldly before snorting. "Hey scumbag, didn't you hear me asking you to leave? Why are you still standing here?"And you bunch of saleswomen, are you all deaf? Or do you all think that this scumbag can afford to buy a house here? Let me tell you all, if you guys don't chase him out, I'm not going to buy!"Dickson's comment made one of the saleswomen, who was slightly older and seemed to be the leader, grit her teeth."Sir, as you've seen, we're currently quite busy. We can't entertain you, so please leave."Her comment had portrayed their attitude.

Dickson knew about John Jackson. After all, his company's loan was under Commercial Bank. There were a few occasions when he wanted to get to know this powerful president, but John never spared him any dignity. He did not even have a chance to enter his office.However, currently looking at John's action of trying to get on the other party’s good terms made the corners of Dickson’s mouth twitch. He found that behavior and expression rather familiar. That was the lowly expression he made when facing John."Mr. Jackson."Jasper was astonished as well to meet John here and shook his hand with a smile."Mr. Laine, you're here to buy houses?" John asked.Jasper nodded and looked at the crowd, saying in a way that seemed calm, "That's right! Initially, I thought of having a look at the houses and if there's a suitable one, I'd buy. But the service here has let me down. Just because of two people, they want to chase me out. So, here I am, about to leave this place."His comment may have

Dickson glared at Janice, who was the cause of the entire havoc, and said coldly, "You’d better shut your crap. If he plans to deal with me later on, I'll be in trouble. For now, we'll watch right here. Besides, I'll be able to prepare myself if I know how powerful he is!"Dickson, who just blurted the comment, heard Jasper saying his first words from the sofa of the nearby client room."The houses look not bad, and the price is cheap. I'm planning to buy all of it."Those few simple words echoed like thunderbolts in the quiet sales department.Everyone, including John, wore an astonished expression while looking at Jasper.People who always put on an act were those who liked to show off, but this time, Jasper did not plan to put on an act. These houses had the potential of rising in market value by ten times in the future. Whoever purchased one would earn from it. He would not miss this opportunity as just one villa less would mean losing tens of millions of profit.However, it

'Just a sentence or two and the deal’s sealed?'Manager Jones was dumbfounded.After snapping out, he was feeling surprised. After the end of drafting the agreement, both parties signed and chopped. It was acknowledged! Then, Jasper immediately transferred the 17.28 million into the company's account. This made Manager Jones so touched that he could feel the heat in his eyes from the tears.His company's financial flow had been about to break. If he had failed to get a loan or failed to sell any houses, the company would need to officially announce bankruptcy. However, currently, all the problems have been settled!Even though he did not earn much, at least he managed to sell off all the houses at Thornton Park."Mr. Laine, you really are my life savior!" Mr. Jones grasped Jasper's hand and said, feeling moved.Even though John, who was just standing aside as an observer, he was envious as well. He thought of his annual salary of more than 200,000 dollars. Even though the amount

In the car, Wendy could not stop looking at Jasper while driving. “Is there something on my face?” Jasper asked her while touching his face. Looking at his reflection in the rear-view mirror, he was no different from other men apart from the fact that he looked a bit more handsome. There was a dazed expression on Wendy’s face. She registered his question not long after. “I’m just curious. You always treat the people around you with kindness and courtesy. However, you also act pretty cold to other people. Instead of asking Mr. Jones to send them away, you let them remain standing over there. That’s a lot harsher than sending them away.” She chuckled. “I didn’t think too much into it. To me, they’re simply meaningless passersby in my life. If it were not for the fact that they spoke to you in a derogatory manner, I wouldn’t have even bothered with them.” Jasper said matter-of-factly. As a person who had lived two lifetimes, how could he not understand the importance
