That explained why despite them being in the province, the Bentley showroom was nearly empty and void of customersJasper and Wendy’s arrival had caught the attention of a few salesmen, but they decided to leave them alone when they realized that the two were mere youths.After all, a mere Chevrolet was hardly something any ordinary person could afford, let alone a Bentley that cost more than millions of dollars.Not that Jasper minded, for he saw the Bentley Mulsanne he had been yearning for a long time the moment he walked through the door.One of the greater things about brands like Bentley and Rolls-Royce was their classical designs.That was why the Bentley now did not look too different from the Bentley of 20 years later.From the timelessly classical cylindrical headlights to the powerful air intake grille, to the double-winged Bentley logo that represented honor and wealth, it was an iconic brand design that was unforgettable to any man.“Are you two interested in buying

Next to them, Wendy frowned at the saleswoman’s attitude and choice of words.“Isn’t your service a bit too unwelcoming? How can you even work in sales with such an attitude?”“Oh?” The saleswoman side-eyed Wendy and scoffed. “Do you not know where you are? This is the Bentley showroom! Every car in here costs a few million dollars!“I’ve got to admit that you have quite the taste, making a beeline for the Mulsanne the moment you walked in. You can’t even afford this no matter how you look at it, so why do we have to be polite to you?”“How do you know that we can’t pay for it?” Wendy was irked.The saleswoman guffawed as if she had been told a great joke. “I’ll swallow this towel if you can afford this, how’s that?”Then, the saleswoman waved her hand to shoo them away irritably. “Enough is enough. You’ve already seen it, so stop standing here like an eyesore. Seriously, how do you even have the dignity to come in here with how poor you look?”Once she was done speaking, Jasper

Since Jasper was not customizing his car with additional accessories, he was soon done with the procedure and could directly drive the car home.The automobile industry in the year 2000 was not as disgusting as it would be in the future, for bundled insurance had yet to be a thing. Once Jasper got the keys, he was allowed to drive to the DMV for his license plate right away.Jasper took the car keys from Xena and got into the car as the saleswoman trembled to stuff the towel into her mouth.Flicking on the headlights, he drove the car off its spot and left the showroom. The entire time, Jasper did not seem to check if that saleswoman had really swallowed the towel or not.Dashing across the roads in his car worthy of almost seven million Somer Dollars, Jasper was utterly exhilarated.While a car this luxurious was not well-known among ordinary people in this time and age, its aura was non-dismissible. Any discerning person could tell at a glance that it was an expensive car.Ja

Hearing Jasper’s words, Wendy asked curiously, “What does he want?”“What a professional manager whose highest ambition is to realize his ideals needs is a stage where he can display his true talents.” Jasper smiled. “Coincidentally, that’s exactly what I’m offering.”Wendy did not understand completely, but it seemed like something great.Instead of bringing Wendy to Jack’s office, Jasper went to a coffee shop with her in tow instead.Having thoroughly read Jack’s autobiography about his past life, Jasper knew that this coffee shop was the place Jack loved the most while he worked in Waterhoof City. It was a place he was sure to drop by after work every day.“A cappuccino and a Jamaican Blue Mountain, please.”After ordering, both Jasper and Wendy went to sit by the window.Wendy wanted to ask why Jasper did not go to the man’s office, but since Jasper was not saying anything, she suppressed the urge to ask.Wendy was now aware of how Jasper did things, including the fact of h

Jasper spoke casually as he played with the coffee cup in his hands.Jack’s leaving frame was frozen in place as he turned to glare furiously at Jasper, spitting out the words, “I don’t think I understand what you mean.”Jasper looked up at Jack and smiled. “Your Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Fornia State University of Technology is fake.”Jasper’s tone was not that of a question, rather a statement that carried absolute certainty.In his past life, it would only be a few years before Jack’s falsified qualifications would come to light. It caused him great trouble, which then became one of the reasons why he left Weresoft.Jack’s expression shifted at the statement, and the man was mortified. “What do you want?”“I’m not trying to threaten you, Mr. Tanner, but I’m very sure that you spend every moment worrying about your falsified certificate of education. A lie will always be a lie, and it’ll only be a matter of time before people find out.”Jasper looked at Jack calmly. “In

“Over four billion…”It was a figure that would raise blood pressures and burst arteries. Jack felt his scalp go numb at the sight.While his current boss was Charles Granger, the richest man in the world, and four billion dollars was only a fraction of his wealth, it was not his yet. It was owned by his boss.As a professional manager, Jack’s annual salary was already considered to be one of the country’s top-paid occupations. Still, Jack’s mouth dried at the sight of such a terrifying figure.“If you still have any doubts, Mr. Tanner, you can come with me to Commercial Bank to verify it,” Jasper spoke plainly.Jack smiled in embarrassment and could hear the jab in Jasper’s words. “That’s alright. I’m sure you have no reason to joke about something like this, Mr. Laine.”“Indeed. Both our time is too precious for that.” Jasper gestured back at the seat Jack had sat on before. Understanding what he meant, Jack sat back down.Jack recollected his emotions and spoke, “If I may ask

“I know you believe me, and I promise I’ll make it come true. I want you to be there with me when it happens.”Jasper chuckled, leaving one hand on the steering wheel while he reached out to take Wendy’s hand with the other.Holding her hand, he placed it lightly over the gear.He had a beauty in the passenger seat of his luxurious car as he drove off.This was a scene almost every man had fantasized about.At that moment, Jasper was already on his way to success.The most important thing was that Wendy was the said beauty.Her tender and delicate hand trembled in Jasper’s broad palm from embarrassment, and the smoothness of her skin made him never want to let go.Wendy had not expected Jasper to make such a sudden move. Thank goodness it was dim inside the car. Her flushed cheeks could only be seen when the streetlamps flashed from time to time.Wendy’s heart raced as she felt her entire body freeze.The conservative part of her mind told her that she could not let Jasper to

How many enterprises were there in the country worth more than one billion dollars?Ignoring those that were national, there were less than a hundred private enterprises within the country that were worth more than one billion dollars. This meant that the moment Jasper’s company was registered, it would already be part of the top hundred enterprises in the country.“Quite the man you are, Jasper.” Mr. Ziegler sighed in admiration.“Thank you for helping me out, Mr. Ziegler, or the whole registration process would’ve taken much longer.” Jasper thanked politely.Mr. Ziegler waved his hand dismissively. Now that every local government began to openly ask for investment, wealthy businessmen like Jasper were considered VIPs no matter where they went. There was no reason for him to act high and mighty.“You’re too kind. I’m just doing my job. What do you want to name your company, though?”Jasper glanced at Wendy who had her lips pressed into a smile and gave the name he had come up wi
