The young man who ran out in a hurry said this then grabbed two hotdogs from the stand and ran toward the door while blowing on it.
“Hey, you punk, your company is so close by, yet you don’t want to come back to eat? Why are you working overtime? Why are you so busy? You have been working overtime for half a month. Your boss is really exploitative. How can they not let people eat?” The shop owner’s wife stopped her son and complained.
The young man replied impatiently, “You don’t say that when I receive my salary every month. Our boss is good, and my work is flexible. As long as the work can be completed, it’s fine even ifI go to work in the afternoon. It’s just that my workload is heavy during this period and I have a lot of business to handle in the department.”
“It doesn’t matter either. I get more for doing more. This month’s bonus is at least 3000 bucks. In addition to the basic salary, I can get 6000 bucks a month. Where else can I find such a good job?”
In 2001, a monthly salary of 6000 bucks was considered very high, even in big cities.
The shop owner’s wife did not say too much after her son said that. She hurriedly said, “Then you should bring more food. Ask your dad to give you some soy latte before leaving.”
The young man waved his hand and said, “No, it’s too late. Almost everyone will be there by half -past seven. If I’m late, our team leader might ask me to perform in public. Even death is better than that. I’ll just have lunch in the cafeteria. The company has prepared meals for us.”
The young man said and walked past Jasper.
Since the shop was very small, if Jasper was sitting on a chair, the aisle next to him could only accommodate one person passing by.
“Excuse me,” the young man said politely.
Jasper got up and planned to let him pass, but he noticed that the young man had a company tag on his chest.
‘JW Investment Company, Marketing Operations Department, Sully Ferguson?’
“Are you an employee of JW Investment Company?” Jasper asked.
Sully was taken aback, and when he was about to answer, he realized that the young man who was about his age looked familiar…
The more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed to be…
Then, his expression turned from one of suspicion to shock, and then to disbelief.
“Y-Y-You… You… J-J-J-Jasper…”
Sully started to stannner from fear.
“Jasper Laine, ” Jasper smiled and said.
“Y-Y-Yes! Jasper Laine! Ah! No!”
Sully was nervous and scared, then he quickly changed what he said, “It’s Mr. Laine.”
Jasper waved his hand and smiled. “Just Jasper is fine. We’re not in the office. Anyone can become a president in this current day and age, so it’s always Mr. This and Mr. That. I’m already sick of these things, so I much prefer you call me by my name.”
Sully felt as if he were in a dream. He would never imagine that Jasper would appear in his family’s hotd og shop.
“M-Mr. Laine… Um, why are you here?”
Jasper smiled and said, “I happened to be hungry when I came out of the company, so I came to your shop for food. It was good, very tasty.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Laine.” Sully was a little stiff, but he looked simple and honest. He scratched her head with a foolish grin.
“Son, is this your boss?”
At this time, Sully’s parents also registered what was going on and asked hurriedly.
They were also looking at Jasper with respect and curiosity.
Although they did not understand the company’s business, they also knew what JW represented in the province.
It was no exaggeration to say that the number of girls who came to ask for their son’s hand just because he got a job with JW was significant.
Therefore, they were proud of their son’s work from the bottom of their hearts. At this moment, when they heard that their son’s boss was here, they naturally became extremely respectful.
