After Scott left, Jasper brought Baz to the hospital.
Baz felt despondent, having gone to the hospital two days in a row.
Thank goodness that a checkup revealed that there was not too big a problem.
“Don’t try to take the hit head on if it happens again in the future. Protecting yourself is the most important thing here,” Jasper reminded.
Baz smiled wryly and replied, “I didn’t know that Scott would have his people start attacking me the moment he walked through the door. He caught me off guard.”
Jasper frowned slightly and said, “I’ll do my best to get rid of the problem with the Covington family so that you will have a good environment to work in.”
Baz was stunned for a moment before he quickly replied, “Mr. Laine, do you want me to stay in Tefa City?”
“Why? Do you not dare to do so?” Jasper smiled.
Baz frantically replied, “It’s not that I don’t dare. I’m not afraid of anything, except screwing this up.”
“You were the one who found out about Downstream Investment Company and you’re the one who acquired the company. Now that I’ve bought it, I’m not going to let you run away so easily.”
Jasper joked, then told Baz about what he had been thinkng these days.
“I plan to hand Downstream Investment Company over to you for management.”
Despite already guessing that this was the case, Baz still instinctively rejected Jasper when he heard the man’s proposition.
“No can do, Mr. Laine. I don’t have enough experience and I’m just a normal employee at the company. I won’t be able to suddenly manage a whole company.”
Jasper might not have trusted anyone else, but Baz was different.
In his past life, Baz had completely transformed Downstream Investment Company into something big on his own with no one else to guide him.
Not to mention that throughout this period of observation, Jasper had also asked Chad and the investment department what they thought about Baz’s performances. Jasper was certain that Baz had the potential to be successful again.
“Don’t worry, I’ll transfer some people over to help you to manage the company. Talk to whoever you need to bring over from the investment department. As long as they’re willing then they can immediately come to work here.
“As for experience, no one is born with the knowledge on how to manage a company. This is something you have to slowly familiarize yourself with.
“I can give you money.”
“I can give you manpower.”
“I can also give you time.”
Jasper then patted Baz’s shoulder and said, “But confidence is something I cannot give. Confidence is something you need to develop on your own. I trust that you can do well, but you have to trust yourself too.”
Baz looked at Jasper excitedly. He opened his mouth, and after much hesitation, finally asked the question he held in his heart.
“Mr. Laine, why do you value me so much?”
Baz knew he was not some genius. In fact, he had been on the receiving end of harsh words since he was young, and he was not someone who was loved by all.
However, everything changed after he met Jasper. Jasper seemed to value him more than others. Not only did Jasper give him, someone with no capability, experience, or academics, the best job opportunity, but Jasper was also handing a company he acquired with 100 million over to him to manage.
Jasper’s act of kindness was so great that Baz could not help but doubt. ‘Why?’
‘I’m just a normal person, what about me is so worthy of Jasper’s admiration?’
In response to this question, Jasper narrowed his eyes and replied with a fleeting tone that Baz did not quite understand, “There’s no specific reason, actually. If I had to come up with one, then I can only say that it’s fate.”
