Chapter 197

However, he did feel a little guilty now after hearing Jasper’s past achievements and how Old Master Law had already taken action.

“If that’s the case, then I think Mr. Law’s suggestion is reasonable.”

The official wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought of a compromise.

“Everyone is just trying to protect the economy of Harbor City, so there’s no need to make this so tense. Why don’t we let Jasper host the mission this time? However, Jake, as the representative of the government, you should go along. If Jasper can’t handle it, then you can help him too.”

The 100 billion market rescue plan was funded by the four rich families and the government. As such, it did not matter who was the host. The four rich families or the government would definitely ask someone to keep watch.

As this was the case, Zachary did not have any opinions on it.

“Okay, I want to see how skillful this country bumpkin from Mainland is!” Jake said with a cold chuckle. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

He did not go against what the Laws wanted, however, he was genuinely looking down on this country bumpkin named Jasper.

He was just a hillbilly from Mainland, so what knowledge and experience did he have? How dare Jasper steal this chance to rescue the market from him?

Initially, he wanted to use this market rescue opportunity to better his reputation so that his business would have a bright future.

However, everything had gone down the drain now.

Jake’s heart was bleeding.

Half an hour later, Zachary went back home. The people tagging along were Jake and a few officers from the government of Harbor City.

“Jasper, this is Jake Cullen, the number one professional stock trader in Harbor City. He just came back from Wall Street. Initially, the government planned to ask him to host the rescue, but I recommended you.”

Zachary reminded Jasper indifferently. Then, he patted his shoulder and said in a low voice, “However, he’s nothing to me compared to you. You don’t have to treat him like a fellow human being.”

Jasper almost burst out laughing at Zachary’s last sentence.

“You’re Jasper?”

Jake narrowed his eyes and said with a cold chuckle.

“Mr. Cullen, hello,” Jasper nodded and said courteously.

On the other hand, Henry’s eyebrows twitched at one side. Even though he did not hear what his father said to Jasper, Jake’s expression, eyes, and tone…

…were pissing him off!

Usually, he would be the one looking down on people with the kind of despise that came from the bones because he was Young Master Law.

“Mr. Laine, may I know which university did you graduate from? What course did you do?” Jake asked with a smirk.

Jasper answered indifferently, “Just a regular university in Mainland. I have a degree in Business Administration.”

“Hahaha…”

Jake guffawed and said, “I was a postgraduate student in an Ivy League university in the United States and I majored in Economics. After I graduated, I joined one of the Big Four companies in the United States as an investment supervisor. I’m the most well-known young stock trader on Wall Street!

“You graduated from a diploma mill in Mainland and you’re here hosting a market rescue worth 100 billion? Are all Mainlanders so shameless?”

Jasper could feel Jake targeting him, and it was obvious that he was not happy with him. However, Zachary had given him a lot of confidence just now.

At this moment, Jasper did not plan to exercise forbearance with him. The situation was urgent now, and he could not let anyone affect the market rescue!

“You don’t think I can succeed in this mission?” Jasper asked indifferently.

“Hehe, I don’t care what you’ve achieved before this, but you have to know that the 100 billion market rescue will directly affect the future of the economy in Harbor City. Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry can host this thing!”

Jake suppressed the jealousy and displeasure in his stomach, saying coldly, “I would advise you to give up voluntarily.”

Jasper sighed and turned around to call the security in Law Manor over. “Get me a few people and make this idiot sit over there quietly.”

Everyone in Law Manor from the maids to the bodyguards knew Jasper. Naturally, they would not dare to defy his orders.

As such, two beefy bodyguards walked over with malicious looks on their faces immediately.

Jake widened his eyes and backed away subconsciously. He roared, “What’s the meaning of this?! I came here representing the government of Harbor City and you have the balls to call the security to control me?”

“Shut up then!” Jasper suddenly opened his mouth and yelled, “This is serious, and there’s no time for you to be so presumptuous! I don’t care who you are. We’re doing a market rescue right now, so I won’t be fighting with you over the position of authority!”

“I don’t care which Ivy League school you graduated from and I don’t care what stock genius you are on Wall Street. If you want to be a poser, then get the hell out! If you affect my decision-making with your nonsense, you won’t be able to pay for the losses even if you sell your body!”
