"You're all too good" Jasper said with a smile. He knew the goodwill behind John's actions.


John Jackson and the others were deft and intelligent people.


They could easily tell what was going on with just a single glance.


They knew that the atmosphere in the room was not very good.


The other person in the room was not at the level to drink with them, whereas the atmosphere was slightly inactive. Later, John and the others clink their glasses with Jasper and leave the room.


Jasper also had no interest in living there. He followed John and the others to the orchid room upstairs.


On the other hand, Wendy did not leave because she was directly surrounded by a group of their classmates.


"Wendy, those people all came to see Jasper Laine?"


"They seem to be treating her very politely."


"What kind of person is Jasper now? How could he eat with those famous people?"


Upset by all those questions, Wendy spoke directly, "Don't you all just licked Ivan Larson? Why do you care about Jasper? Does a poor bastard like him deserve your attention?"


It is common knowledge that women tend to keep dendames. So, it was impossible for Wendy to forget how they treated Jasper so badly just now.


Their faces became awkward. Some of them feel ashamed.


"Wendy, we're classmates. Don't be like that" Quinny said as she pulled the end of Wendy's dress.


Wendy's impression of Quinny was pretty good. Furthermore, he had not done or said anything against Jasper Since the Beginning.


Sighing, Wendy waved the document folder to Ivan, whose face was deathly pale. "Do you know what's in this folder?" She asked.


Wendy then issues new business permissions from inside the folder.


More than a dozen of them raised their gazes and looked up.


JW Capital Co., Ltd.


Legal representative: Jasper Laine


Individual shareholder: Jasper Laine (full ownership)


Registered capital: 1,000,000,000 dollars.


A sharp breath instantly echoed in the room as they all looked at the keywords within those three lines of text.


The zero behind the number 1 on the business permits blinds their eyes. If it wasn't for the dollar sign behind that number, they wouldn't be able to figure out what that number is.


Forget about a billion dollars, many people cannot even catch a glimpse of such a business license all their lives.


Everyone is overwhelmed by not believing. Ivan could not even say a word. As if he had become a fool.


At this moment, Wendy felt that everything was meaningless.


He could finally understand why Jasper had no interest in this reunion event from the start.


They really aren't on the same level. How did they get along?


Jasper is not as arrogant as Ivan. He didn't care what these people thought of him. This was because ...he didn't need to care about his achievements anymore.


So what if they think about it so much? Then what if they look down on him?


When these people were still talking about daily necessities, Jasper already had a net worth of up to a billion dollars.


They live in a different world. There's no way for them to get along.


"Wait!" Ivan yells as he stops Wendy from leaving.


+++


Wendy frowned and looked at Ivan. He asked coldly, "Is there anything else?"


Ivan's expression changed. His arrogant and haughty attitude from before was long gone. He's just a sore loser now. "Since Jasper has a lot of money, can you tell me? Help me. We are all classmates. You can't watch me fall like this. He said with a pathetic attitude.


"That's fine. Because he's so rich, he has to share it with us."


"Even if he earned that kind of money, he couldn't spend it all. How could he bear to see us suffer?"


As soon as Ivan spoke, some people started to join in as well.


"Many of you are really desperate!" Shouted Wendy. He was really surprised at how shameless this fellow was.


"Jasp never wanted to show off. Classmate or not, he never objected. Ask yourself. During our school days, or even now, who among you has ever treated him like a classmate?"


"I was the one who forced her to come today. However, I regret it very much. It's better for us to part."


"Don't let your helplessness break the last strand of sentiment I have for all of you."


After speaking, Wendy left without looking back at their awkward, embarrassed, and regretful faces.


.....


At that moment, Jasper was upstairs. He raised his glass and smiled. "Everybody toasted to me downstairs. My alcohol tolerance isn't very good, I can't toast each person individually. So, I'm gonna toast you all now. I hope you don't mind" he said.


Then, Jasper finished his glass of wine between their applause and cheers.


John laughed out loud. "Mr Laine, your news has spread everywhere in this sector. Everyone now knows that you just registered the company. Don't forget us if there's a chance to make a lot of money" he told Jasper.


Several bosses from the financial circle looked at Jasper closely. Their faces are full of interest.


"We definitely have to work together if there's a chance. Money was meant to be earned together," Jasper chuckled.


"He was right. Let's toast to his words!" John laughed out loud.


After eating, he received a deck of business cards. John, drunk with alcohol, walks out of the hotel with Jasper.


"Brother, that group of people might be talking about you sweetly, but they are all actually a bunch of cruel and unfaithful wolves. You have to think about everything in your step. Remember not to be friends with them. You're nothing but a series of benefits that shine in their eyes."


Jasper smiled at John's sincere advice. "Don't worry, I know what to do" he said.


John nodded and sighed who contained alcohol. "Enough. I'm old now. I can't hold back that much anymore. I'm going to go now" he said.


Seeing John get into his car trembling, Jasper was. He saw Wendy at the bar in the hotel lobby. Overcoming boredom, he used a fork to scoop up the pasta plate in front of him.


Jasper walked over to Wendy and sat down on the chair opposite her. "Why didn't you come with me?" She asked.


"You're busy socializing with a bunch of guys. I don't want to go" said Wendy with a slight dislike.


"You must have waited a long time" Jasper said apologizing.


Shaking his head Wendy replied in a grim tone, "Our classmates are truly despicable. After you left, I couldn't take it anymore, so I showed them your business license.


"I was rather happy to see their surprised expression. However, I felt like there was no meaning after that."


Jasper laughs. "It's okay, you can reduce interactions with them in the future. Don't let it ruin your mood" he said.


"You don't blame me, do you?" Wendy asked doubtfully.


"Why should I blame you?" Ask Jasper


"To take you to a reunion. Also, I showed them your business license of my own accord. I understand that we shouldn't show the money we have to others, but I can't stand how they look down on you."


Jasper laughed out loud. "Don't show the money we have to other people? If we only have a million or ten million, I wouldn't dare to reveal it either. But now that I'm so rich, I want the whole world to know that I'm rich. Otherwise how can I behave haughty and mighty in front of all


people?"


"You ..." Wendy glared at Jasper. "How honest are you!"


"There's nothing I need to hide from you" Jasper chuckled.


Wendy felt Jasper was shameless about her words.


But thinking about it, it is the truth.


If someone has a few million dollars, some people may come up with certain intentions and do something irrational.


However, in the presence of a wealthy man who had a net worth of a billion dollars, who would dare to do anything to him?


....


One week later, Jasper moved from the city to Thornton Park in the city.


The house has been renovated and well designed, so Jasper can move in at any time. However, Jasper has contacted the renovation team and asked them to renovate two of his villas in the same week.


Both villas will be used as temporary workspaces for JE Capital.


Computers, printers, and network office supplies should be prepared as well.


The company only has three employees, including Jasper, until now. Meanwhile, she has handed over the financial management of the company to Wendy because she doesn't trust anyone else for this except her.


On this day Jack came to town as agreed.


Jasper went to greet personally. Jack made a decision this time. He took his wife and daughter with him.


"This villa is our temporary office space. On the other hand, your family can stay in the villa next door. You can choose the room you want."


Jasper says this while handing over the keys to the villa to Jack.


Jack didn't talk much about it. He immediately asked, "What is the scope of my work?"


"You are the general manager of JW Capital. The company still has not taken on any professional duties, but there will soon be any jobs, but there will soon be jobs. At that time, the operations of the entire company will be entrusted to you."


Jasper had been putting together a plan from the start. If a management prodigy like Jack Tanner is not put to good use, it will really waste a gift bestowed by God.


Jack followed Jasper to the villa. Looking at the empty space and the new office equipment, he chuckled. "It's like a startup company" he said.


"We are a startup company!"


Jasper laughs. "The only difference is that we don't have to raise our initial capital. I have money. We could have acquired another company" he said.


"Have you found the target of the acquisition, Mr Laine?" Ask Jack.


Jasper laughed lightly. "Yes, and I've booked two plane tickets to the city of Cavern for both of us" he said.


"City Cavern!"Jack frowned and thought about it for a moment. He shook his head and said, "there are so many internet companies in the city of Cavern. May I know which company you're targeting, Mr Laine?"


"Terizone Inc.," replied Jasper Directly. He clicked on the software program on the computer and said, "this instant messaging software currently has the largest number of users in the country, and the number of new users is increasing every day. As of now, it has over 5 million users.


"This little cone will grow into something no one has ever imagined."


Hearing Jasper rate Terizone so highly, Jack became serious as well.


"I've heard it before. Waresoft also has its own instant messaging software. It's called MSN. You know about that, don't you, Mr Laine? According to our internal evaluation, Terizone is Waresoft's biggest rival in the country.


"However, all internet products, including Terizone, have not found a way to make a profit. They lose every day."


Jasper laughs. "It's only going to be temporary. I want to tell everyone that it is possible to make a profit by selling internet products. We're gonna make a lot of money!"


Jasper and Jack's flight will depart in the afternoon. After Jack gets used to their surroundings and helps his family settle down, the two of them head straight to the airport.


Wendy's not coming this time. He had to remain in the country to employ some employees.


Unfortunately, it was impossible for only three people to work in such a large villa. Tasks such as photocopying materials and picking up the phone should be delegated to others.


As Jasper and Jack board the plane, Waresoft releases news about Jack leaving the company on their official web page. The domestic circle of professional managers became an uproar.


It would be unwise to ignore the charm and charisma of Jack Tanner in this era.


As someone from a minority ethnic group, he earned a high-level executive position at Waresoft and even received much praise from the richest man in the world, Mr. Gates. Jack is definitely the best in the country in terms of his employability and performance in the financial industry.
