Jax panicked even more. He hurriedly looked at Jasper, who was sitting in front of him, and suddenly showed a pleading look.
“I only have half a day, so you have to listen to me!”
Jax tried his best to calm himself down and immediately changed his expression to look at Jasper with a huge grin on his face.
“In truth, we still have room to discuss this matter.” Jasper nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue, “Indeed, I originally wanted to cooperate with you.”
Upon hearing this, Jax thought he held the bargaining chip to continue negotiating to ease the situation, so he hurriedly started to fawn over the person in front of him.
“Of course, we can cooperate! I have understood Lane Automotive’s intention to cooperate with us. If you agree, you can sign the contract immediately and we will not delay this matter for even one second!”
Jax’s attitude did a 180-degree change.
Regardless of if it was because of Larry’s pressure on him or his because of his work, he had to treat Jasper well today. After all, if he lost his job, he would have nothing.
“We will surely have a pleasant cooperation and we will not trouble you in the future. Plus, we’ll even escort you and protect you.”
Of course, Jax chose the former option of partnering with Lane Automotive over losing the company’s stock value as well as his job. He also understood that at this time, admitting defeat and being humble would be the best way out for him. It was possible that from now on, he would understand that protecting the company was the most important thing.
“Now, our company has lost its profits and it’s debts are at a sky-high figure. If you don’t help me, I won’t be able to pay them back even if I go bankrupt.”
“Why should I help you?” Jasper smiled.
“Back then, it was my fault. However, if the two companies work together, it’ll be good for you too,” Jax replied quickly.
“What if I purchase your company directly?”
Jasper’s sentence caused Jax to freeze on his ground. He did not know what to say to that.
The corners of Jasper’s lips were turned upward. Meanwhile, Jax fell to the ground limply when he saw Jasper’s smile.
Jax never imagined that one day it would come to this point. He originally thought that this young man was not as amazing as everyone claimed, but now, reality had slapped him hard across the face.
Beckett finally could not stand it anymore. He pulled Jax up from the ground and said to him with some disgust.
“You should leave now. Mr. Laine doesn’t want to see you!”
After speaking, Beckett summoned security and they escorted Jax out.
At this moment, Jax lost all strength, let alone resistance. He did not even make any sound of opposition because he felt as if someone was choking his neck
Jasper’s mood did not fluctuate as he watched Jax leave. Since they were unkind first, they should not blame Jasper for his actions.
After leaving Lane Automotive factory, Jax rushed to the road like he was crazy. Even though cars were driving toward him, he had no intention of dodging them. He wanted to be rammed to death right here. However, he could not do that.
He had been in a high position and living like royalty for so long, so how could he be willing to leave this world?
Jax’s roar reached the ears of the passersby, and everyone stared at him like he was a madman.
At this moment, the phone in Jax’s hand suddenly rang. It was from Larry… Jax pressed the answer button with trembling hands.
“Fck! Are you taking me as a fool?” Larry growled from the phone.
“Mr. Weis, I’m doing everything I can.”
“Do you think it has anything to do with me whether you’re doing everything you can? You’re no longer a part of Homer now! The company’s stock price has been plummeting since you left! I’ll let someone else handle this!”
Immediately afterward, Jax heard the dial tone from the other end. Then, his phone fell to the ground.
Back in the office, Larry clenched his fists.
“Send someone else to communicate with Jasper. This matter must be resolved. If the company’s stock price falls like this again, all of you can f*ck right out of here!”
The secretary hurriedly nodded and left the office to look for more suitable personnel.
***
At this moment, Jasper was standing by the window of the office as he stared out of it calmly.
This time, Lane Automotive could proceed smoothly to the next step. After all, Homer’s internal state might be worse than imagined today. This was a good opportunity for Lane Automotive to develop.
Thinking of this, Jasper quickly sent a plan to Beckett and asked him to execute it immediately. Now, they had to act fast.
