Victory in Life
Chapter 442
Old Man Turner smiled widely and spoke, turning to Lan, he suddenly asked, "You lan Gardner?"
lan did not expect Old Man Turner to call out his name and took two steps forward in surprise before replying politely, "Yes, Old Man Turner, sku lan Gardner."
Old Man Turner nodded. "The Haddock Chamber of Commerce has developed quite well these years, you have
contributing a lot to your local economy, especially the Westerhoff Branch, I hear you're paying hundreds of millions in taxes right now?"
lan hurriedly replied, "Thank you for watching us, old man, thanks to having a good environment and policies from the higher-ups, we were allowed to develop it."
Old Man Turner pointed to Lan and smiled at Old Man Law. "seen? these people are the backbone of our country's business world, not bad, are they?"
Old Man Law asked attentively, "Who is Gale Hurlbutt to you?"
Lan's expression turned serious as she quickly replied politely, "Old Master Hurlbutt is the soul of Haddock's Chamber of Commerce, he said, he's retired due to old age but he'll always be the honorary president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce nationally, he's my teacher."
Old Man Law nodded and ignored lan's politeness, choosing to turn to Old Man Turner instead. "Hurlbutt is a very cunning man, he promised to send me high-grade rosemary tea long ago, but I haven't received it yet, you have to ask for it for me the next time you meet."
Old Man Turner smiled. "I didn't know you two had a past like that."
Old Man Law escorted Old Man Turner to his seat. "It's been years since then, he's been doing business with strangers and ended up being kidnapped all the way there, I paid the ransom."
Old Man Turner replied solemnly, "You saved his life, Hurlbutt's not very good then."
lan, on the side, and Norman, who could not add to the conversation, felt their knees suffocate hearing the words.
'This is Gale Hurlbutt they're talking about!
'Haddock's first rich businessman!' both Lan and Norman were children when the man dominated the business world.
After the two elders took their seats, everyone began to take their places according to their status and identity.
People could not randomly sit as they wanted on such an occasion.
The two elders sat in the middle, with Zachary, Henry, and Anna to the right of Old Man Law.
Meanwhile, to the left of Old Man Turner were Brad and Erik respectively.
lan and Norman go to sit down with the Turner family without thinking anymore.
This left Jasper to take the seat furthest away from the elder despite being the host.
Thus, she was to the left of Anna and Lisa to her right.
Seeing such a seating plan, Lisa suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I don't want to sit with a bankrupt beggar!"
Lisa seemed oblivious to the dark gaze of voidness that Norman and Lan had given her.
After all, jealousy can drive a person crazy while hatred blinds all rationality.
He turned to Old Man Law and spoke, "You're a very respectable senior, Old Man Law, and that's exactly what I have to tell you, you and your family have been deceived by Jasper! he's a liar!"
Lisa then pointed at Jasper and shouted, "This man! while she flirts with your granddaughter, she also has a boyfriend! how could someone like him appear here?"
"He's dating two girls at once, he treats the Law family like they're a bunch of morons!"
"A wise man like you, Old Man, how can you be deceived by someone like him?"
