“It’s JW’s Mr. Laine’s car!”
“Mr. Laine is here!”
One of the sharper reporters had spotted the vehicle and shouted. In a flash, almost all the reporters flooded to approach the car.
Their gazes were filled with excitement as they all wanted to interview Jasper to obtain first-hand information.
At the same time, reporters still engaged in interviews with other people grew awkward and unsettled.
One reporter from South Somer Commercial Post stared at the old man they were interviewing, who was still speaking endlessly. The excitement of getting a chance to interview this renowned financial expert in Waterhoof City disappeared, quickly replaced with impatience and anxiousness.
Seeing how the side of Jasper’s car was already flooded by his competitors, the reporter was beginning to feel hasty since there was almost no space left.
“Of course, an expert’s opinion would definitely be more significant…”
The reporter could not hold it back any longer when he saw how Professor Mack was not done speaking yet.
“Alright, Professor Mack. Thank you for your explanation today, I look forward to more financial knowledge from you in the future! Thank you!”
The reporter interrupted Professor Mack and made his way to Jasper’s car. They did not even notice Professor Mack’s constipated and sour expression.
The balding Professor Mack was dazed.
Reporters would normally be extremely grateful when they had a chance to interview him, treating him with the utmost respect. Yet, this reporter had just interrupted him and cast him aside!
The furious Professor Mack glanced over resentfully. He sneered when he saw Jasper getting out of his car.
“You’re just an immature youth. A child. What economic and financial knowledge can you possess when you’re so young? You just happened to be lucky and made a bit of money! Just you wait, I’m going to make you pay when the forum starts!”
Jasper had just gotten out of the car when he was flooded by reporters.
Jasper smiled wryly at the microphones that might as well be forced into his mouth as he listened to all sorts of questions directed at him.
“Everyone, please calm down. Your safety is the most important thing now. I’ll answer each and one of your questions in a bit. Please forgive me as time constraint forbids me from answering every single one of you.
“This reporter over here, you can ask first.”
The reporter from South Somer Commercial Post was elated when Jasper picked him. He thanked the heavens for throwing away the imbecilic Professor Mack, or he would have lost such a great opportunity now.
Under the envious gazes of their competitors, the reporter asked.
“Mr. Laine, is the skyscraper in construction right now in Waterhoof City one of JW Real Estate’s properties? Have you thought of a name yet? Is it really being construction with the intention of it being the tallest building in the world?”
The questions voiced out the majority of the reporters’ thoughts.
After all, all the news thus far had merely been rumors among civilians and there had never been any formal response to the skyscraper’s construction progress from JW Real Estates.
Jasper gave it some thought before he replied, “You’re right. JW Real Estates is indeed the sole proprietor of the skyscraper in construction.
“Since its initial design, its goal has been to become the tallest building in the world. What I can tell you is that it was designed to be 666 meters tall, and that preliminary construction of the building is estimated to finish within the year. Its name is also confirmed. It will be the World Financial Center.”
