Life at the Top

Chapter 220

The person who came in was Jasper Laine, the one who was hooted and driven away by him downstairs earlier.

“Isn’t he that country bumpkin?” Mack cried out involuntarily. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

At this time, Jasper had already walked toward the center of the meeting room at Michael’s invitation.

Michael would be selling the company to Jasper in the next moment, so he was tactful. Even though he was still the current chairman, he still deliberately lagged behind Jasper by half a step, highlighting Jasper’s future authority in Gladness Entertainment Movies.

After he took the microphone, Michael said to everyone who was still shocked by Jasper’s youth. “Today’s a sentimental day, but also a day worthy of joy.

“Today, the Gladness Entertainment Movies of the past will come to an end. But today is also the day where the brand-new Gladness Entertainment Movies will welcome a new life.”

Michael was very good with words. After his opening speech, he continued right away, “As the chairman of Gladness Entertainment Movies, I have one last thing to announce today.

“Gladness Entertainment Movies will be sold to Mr. Jasper Laine who’s next to me. He will lead everyone to higher glory in the future.”

Then came the signing ceremony. There was still thunderous applause regardless of what everyone below the stage thought.

After signing and exchanging documents, Jasper formally acquired 100% equity of Gladness Entertainment Movies and was automatically elected as the chairman of the board of directors and concurrent chairman.

Michael stepped down after handing the microphone to Jasper.

Jasper smiled a little as he stood on the highest spot of the meeting room, looking at the employees of Gladness Entertainment Movies beneath who looked at him with various expressions. He said, “Hello, everyone. I’d like to thank Mr. Lane for his trust. I will replace Mr. Lane and continue to push Gladness Entertainment Movies toward the peak from here on.”

This was considered to be Jasper’s declaration after he took the throne of Gladness Entertainment Movies.

There was another round of applause.

“However, today’s meeting is an internal meeting. Is there anyone present who does not hold any position in Gladness Entertainment Movies and is not a contract artist of Gladness Entertainment Movies?”

Jasper’s words distorted Mack’s expression as he had already been anxious and fearful for the past few minutes.

The corners of his mouth twitched. His expression was stiff and his face was flustered.

The others also felt a little baffled by Jasper’s words. Everyone gradually looked toward Mack.

In the past two years, Mack had done a lot of resentful things in the company using his father’s identity. Even some female stars would bow down to him and had to please him.

Jasper’s words immediately shrouded the meeting room with an extremely weird atmosphere.

At this moment, Jasper followed everyone’s gaze and looked at Mack White.

Under everyone’s gaze, Mack stood up with an expression of embarrassment and anger. He felt like a monkey being surrounded and watched by people in the zoo at this moment.

“This is Gladness Entertainment Movies’ meeting room. You’re neither an employee nor a contracted artist of Gladness Entertainment Movies, so what are you doing here?” Jasper asked dully.

At this moment, everyone understood that this would be the first cut of the newly appointed boss’ knife.

Nobody knew how Mack White had offended the new boss, so much so that he was being addressed directly.

Most people looked at Mack gloatingly, wishing him bad luck.

“I…”

Mack found it difficult to speak and could not think of an appropriate reason. As such, he could only ask for help by looking over at his father, Joseph White.

Joseph frowned a little and looked at Jasper darkly, his expression slightly gloomy.

Naturally, Joseph could not bear to watch his own son be humiliated. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jasper’s voice shocking the audience through the speakers.

“Get out!”
