Superstars from both Harbor City and the Mainlands all recognized Jasper.
A spectacular situation immediately unfurled. Superstars, each more famous than the last, immediately lined up before Jasper to greet him.
The male actors were still fine since they just greeted him and introduced themselves before they turned and left happily.
However, female stars all seemed moments away from falling directly into Jasper’s arms.
Tiffany ground her molars at the sight.
‘These vixens are too annoying!’
Tiffany felt the urge to kick all these vixens as she watched these celebrities purposefully pull their tops down and lean toward jasper coquettishly. Some even leaned in to whisper into Jasper’s ear.
‘How shameless can you be?’
Jasper did not show distaste in the face of these celebrities, even though most of them had ulterior motives.
Regardless of how famous they were, he would talk to each of them for a short while.
Jasper did not act unnecessarily arrogant and treat these celebrities like trash either, as there was no need to do so.
However, soon after, the appearance of a particular woman surprised Jasper.
She was the female lead of Monastery Soccer, Vicki Bird. She was a strong and rare woman who had a strong business prowess in the entertainment industry.
“Hello, Mr. Laine. I’m Vicki Bird.”
Vicki was beautiful since she was now blooming with youth. As the female lead of the film, she had also enhanced her appearance with makeup such that she looked absolutely stunning.
“Hello,” Jasper crossed his legs and replied with a crescent eyed smile.
“Aren’t you going to participate in the premiere event?”
Vicki smiled beautifully and replied, “There’s still a bit of time before it starts, so I came over to say hello.
“Furthermore, I established my own studio recently so I was hoping l could get a partnership with you if possible, Mr. Laine. I would like an investment as well.”
Vicki handed Jasper her name card cautiously.
After taking the name card, Jasper became speechless when he saw the address and room number of a hotel on the back of it.
The implications were clear.
Vicki scratched a finger against Jasper’s palm softly and asked, “Is there any chance for a partnership, Mr. Laine?”
Jasper put away the name card and smiled softly, “Don’t let me hold you back from work. I’ll consider a partnership should the opportunity arise.”
When someone of higher status said that they would ‘consider should an opportunity arise’, it usually meant ‘no’.
Vicki was a smart lady, so she was instantly disappointed when she heard him.
She had truly wanted to gain Jasper’s support. That way, she would be both wealthy and powerful. She was willing to let go of all inhibitions for that. Her body was nothing more than a bargaining chip to her.
However, Jasper’s rejection was also very clear.
Vicki did not pursue the matter further. With a small smile, she traded a few more pleasantries before leaving.
Vicki had just left when Jasper threw her name card away.
Tiffany felt extremely pleased when she saw how Jasper did not keep Vicki’s contact information in his pockets as he did for other celebrities. Still, she asked confusedly, “Why did you throw her name card, Jasper?”
“There’s no point in keeping an ambitious but ignorant and presumptuous actress,” Jasper replied calmly.
Mr. Laine did not fancy people who lived luxuriously thanks to their fans, yet wanted to escape fundamental tax obligations.
