Baz’s first reaction was to call Wendy.
After all, Wendy was the boss of JW, so it
would be justified for him to contact
Wendy about this kind of thing.
However, as soon as he took out his cell
phone, he realized this would not work.
Currently, Wendy was still in Harbor City,
and was equally busy. If the boss’ woman
came back at this moment, it would delay
the work in Harbor City. Baz felt he would
really die if he did this, to the point where
even Wendy would not be able to save him.
After thinking about it, Baz saw another
name that he had just added to his
contacts some time ago out of the corner of his eye…
Judging from his manly instinct, Baz
concluded that the relationship between
this woman and his boss was pretty
unusual when he first saw her.
This was not a joke. She was appointed as
the future president of JW Bank the
moment she joined the company. If these
two had nothing going on between them,
Baz would swallow the conference table in front of him.
With that, Baz decisively dialed the
number.
The result of this was that after more than
ten minutes, Jasper received the arrival of
Celine and the medical team behind her
instead of Baz’s opening report.
Jasper did not even have time to say a
word before he was pushed onto the bed b
y a group of doctors. Then, he was forced t
o undergo various examinations.
“Celine, are you crazy? Are you rebelling
against me?”
Celine put her arms across her chest and
said with a cold face, “You should accept
the examination like a good boy. It will
not take much time or delay the opening.
You know from my character that I will
not compromise on this kind of thing.
“You may think you can still go on, but
what if you can’t and you end up
collapsing? At that time, who will save
your staff and such a big industry? The
more urgent the situation, the more you
need to protect your own health.”
After a doctor punctured his skin with a needle to collect blood, Jasper took a sharp breath, gritted his teeth, and said to the doctor, “Can you be gentle? I’m still alive and I can still feel pain.”
The doctor said embarrassingly, “I’m
sorry, Mr. Laine. If you don’t resist, I
won’t be so anxious.”
One should not continue to split hairs with someone who had just apologized. Plus, the doctor was only doing this for his own good. Thus, Jasper could not express his anger at this moment and could only bite his tongue while letting this group of people do whatever they wanted with him.
It took more than half an hour before
Jasper was freed and regained his
freedom.
This medical team also assessed his physical condition.
“It’s not looking too good.”
The lead physician shook his head slightly. He said, “Mr. Laine is now in his prime of life and it should be the time when a person’s physical function is at its
peak, but even so, it has its limits. If I were to compare a normal and healthy young man’s body to a river, then Mr. Laine’s body is almost turning into a desert.
“To put it simply, it has been squeezed dry.
“Because of equipment and venue restrictions, we can only do the simplest blood-taking procedure right now, but even so, there are four indicators that have exceeded the normal value and the other three indicators that are far below the normal value. Mr. Laine, with all due respect, if you continue like this, your body will collapse soon.”
Jasper, who was putting on his shirt, said helplessly, “Then what should I do?”
“The best thing to do is to rest immediately and give up all work.”
“No way.”
Jasper refused without thinking.
“If you can’t do that for the moment, then
we can temporarily give you nutritional support. We can use medical intervention to
support the body’s consumption. However, this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. At least 2 months of complete rest is required for you to recover fully.”
“What nutritional support?”
Jasper was amused and he said, “I eat everything that is specially prepared by a nutritionist. It shouldn’t be a problem.”
After ten minutes, Jasper understood that the nutritional support the doctor spoke about was not the same concept as what ordinary people without medical knowledge thought they knew.
Jasper sat in his chair with no expression o n his face as he had an IV attached to his left hand. Inside the IV was albumin that looked like milk, as well as various nutritional liquids.
Next to him, Celine, who had ordered someone to move her desk over, glanced a t Jasper and lazily said, “Why are you pulling a face? I especially moved my office here to work with you. What else are you unhappy about?”
“This is the command center, why are you moving your office here? And what work do you have to do now?” Jasper asked angrily.
Although JW Bank would inevitably be founded by Jasper, it had not even started the basic construction work yet, and the team had just begun to release relevant talent recruitment information so that the headhunting company could source
people. However, the real executive team consisted of just Celine and nobody else at the moment. Jasper really could not figure out what kind of work she could do.
“Do you think it’s that simple? The domestic system is different from that of foreign countries, and the work and overall framework of the banking industry must be adapted to the domestic market.
“Moreover, you must have detailed knowledge and understanding of existing banks, especially commercial banks similar to those jointly established by local governments and capital. Do you think opening a bank is as simple as opening an account in the stock market? I have a lot of things to do, okay?”
Celine was obviously dissatisfied with
Jasper underestimating her
professionalism, so she started to lecture
him.
Jasper replied with a pounding head,
41
Alright, alright, alright, you’re right. I
was wrong for saying that.
“But.”
Jasper lifted his hand that was attached to the IV and waved it. He said, “What’s the meaning of this? This thing is huge, and it will take four or five hours for it to finish. Are you planning to just attach this to me like this?”
“Duh.”
Celine finally smiled, but from that smile, she looked like a little girl who was satisfied and delighted after successfully pranking someone. “This is for your own good. You don’t want to collapse before you enjoy the fruits of victory, right?”
Jasper sighed. He did not think he would be able to escape this after he saw Celine’s attitude.
Therefore, Celine became the first and
only JW executive to arrogantly fight for a
n office space with Jasper.
Even so, Jasper’s mind quickly shifted from this trivial matter, because in the call auction stage before the opening of the domestic A-share market, the futures market had already kicked off.
This time, Soros seemed to have made up his mind about something, so when trading started, he gave up the suppression of other futures products, and instead went all out to long more foodstuff futures.
He would buy, and he would buy a
massive amount.
Huge amounts of funds poured into the foodstuff futures trading market, to the point where it seemed like all foodstuff futures contracts in the country had been swept away in one breath.
What followed was a surge in foodstuff futures prices.
