“Are you still hiring?”
Adele was eager to try her luck
Jasper laughed and said, “I’m afraid I can’t afford to hire a rich lady like you.”
“Oh, you don’t understand. I’m fine with being a consultant,” Adele said excitedly.
“A consultant? I guess that’s possible.”
Jasper rubbed his chin and said meaningfully, “Though I have been looking for a better secretary, are you interested?”
“Okay, do you dare to hire me as your secretary?”
Adele covered her mouth and smiled.
“If you dare to try, why wouldn’t I dare to hire you?”
“If you dare to hire me, why won’t I dare to try?”
The two seemed to be in a fight.
At that moment, Jasper, who had just gotten the orange juice, was the first to concede.
“That’s enough. You’re the dignified Miss Brown so why are you messing around in my company? My humble company can’t stand you causing a commotion.”
Adele replied unhappily, “Who said that I’m here to mess around? My family’s situation is quite special. They’re never taken the business part seriously, but I like it, and yet no one taught me how to run a company. I think your system is what I have been looking for.”
“Many foreign corporate cultures can be used for reference. I also combined many foreign experiences into designing this framework.”
What Jasper said was not a lie.
His model was completely based on the combination of management methods of domestic Internet companies in later generations and foreign corporate culture concepts derived from this era. It was not groundless. Adele leaned over slightly. She stared at Jasper and pointed to his nose. Then, she said, “Do you think I can go to work in a foreign company with my identity?”
Jasper froze for a moment and smiled bitterly. “It’s indeed impossible… But running a company is not just about management and corporate culture. More importantly, if a company is alive, there must be a business. You…”
Adele smiled and looked at Jasper, waiting for him to finish.
Jasper could not continue anymore. He shook his head and reluctantly admitted, “Well, as long as you want to do it, there is really no industry that you can’t work in.”
Considering her family resources and how Adele managed to develop a flourishing intelligence business all by herself, no one in the country could compare with her. While serving in these two entities, Adele had shown business skills and talent that a lot of businessmen could not hope to develop within their entire lifetime.
“Do you really want to work here?” Jasper asked.
“Of course.”
Adele nodded vigorously.
“But I can’t work from nine to five.”
“Not a problem. You can be my special assistant cum my business consultant. In terms of annual salary, you are not short of money so it’s not appropriate to give you more than the average. We’ll just decide on 1 million tentatively. Your other benefits will be on par with the vice president of the company.”
“Deal!”
This meeting unexpectedly allowed Jasper to find someone to fill the position of his special assistant secretary which had been vacant for a very long time, and he had also allowed Adele to join JW.
This was something that neither of them expected before this meeting.
“Boss, this time, I helped you complete the Sunrise Land mission.”
After they settled the unexpected, Adele immediately began to settle her original purpose behind coming over.
“Did you arrange for the military attaché at the embassy?” Jasper asked.
Adele chuckled and said, “Although I don’t know what’s the purpose of you wanting to mortgage so much gold to Sunrise Land so eagerly, I always feel that you might have some evil plans. Thus, to relieve you of some worries, I decided on that myself. Isn’t it appropriate?”
“Very…”
Jasper smiled and said, “Initially, the only thing that I was worried about was that the Sunrise Land government would be driven to desperation and would renege on a debt and not give us the gold. However, with the embassy’s guarantee, we’ll be fine.”
“I just didn’t expect you to be so powerful.”
Adele had a moment of rare guilt.
She did not dare to tell Jasper that when she contacted the people in Sunrise Land, she was discovered by the government officials because the relationship between the two countries was so sensitive.
As a result, her second uncle brought her to his office immediately.
Adele finally clarified the matter after some persuading. Then, not only her second uncle, even her older brother came to know about this.
Therefore, with her brother’s proposal, and after her second uncle’s report and the comprehensive consideration of the higher-ups, they finally issued an ‘informal’ order to the embassy that would not be archived.
This kind of thing was very mysterious, but it was nothing more than a game of interests between big countries.
The government seemed to know what Jasper wanted to do and was willing to cooperate with him.
As for what the government knew and how they came to learn about it, both Adele and Jasper had no clue. “Heh, don’t mention it. It’s very troublesome.”
Adele chuckled and changed the topic. “The money is already in the account, but do you want to exchange it for Somer Dollars or US Dollars?”
“Exchange it for Somer Dollars. Consider it foreign currency to generate some income for the government” Jasper laughed.
In any case, foreign exchange reserves were the embodiment of a country’s international power. No country would complain about a huge foreign exchange reserve, especially when it came to foreign currencies of economically developed countries like US Dollars or Sun Dollars.
The government had always been respectful of Jasper, and Jasper was also happy to do them this favor.
“Okay, I’ll transfer it to you today.” Adele smiled and said, “In order to thank you for giving me such big business, you will not be charged for the handling fee.”
“Let’s go.” Jasper smiled and stood up.
“Where?” Adele was stunned.
“I will hold a welcome party for you, but you and I are the only people attending. Besides, you said that you wanted me to treat you to a meal. You have worked hard, so I can’t treat a heroine like you poorly.”
Adele chuckled and said, “You are so serious about what I said casually, but since there is such a brazen opportunity to exploit a rich man, I won’t miss it. Let me tell you that I want to eat the most expensive food.”
“Not the best?” Jasper asked.
“Only the most expensive food can reflect my identity,” Adele arrogantly said.
“Yes, you look like the brainless child of the government now.”
“Go to hell.”
After they finished meal, it was already around three in the afternoon. Adele finished her meal and bade farewell after answering her phone.
“How can a secretary like you exist? You’re playing truant on the first day of work?” Jasper was dissatisfied.
“Oh, you can just deduct my salary. I promise I will work overtime at the opening tonight.”
Adele grinned and blew Jasper a kiss. Then, she got into a car and left.
Looking at Adele’s back, Jasper chuckled and turned back to the company. Tonight, a war that would shake the world was waiting for him.
