“I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Resisting the urge to turn around and hug her, Jasper nodded earnestly. He then turned around walked toward the customs.
On the plane, Jasper took a light nap.
As Jasper’s personal bodyguard, Julian sat right beside him.
“Mr. Laine, you have such a loving relationship with Ms. Schuler,” Julian said.
Jasper opened his eyes and glanced at Julian. He chuckled. “You’re not that young anymore. Should I ask her to introduce a girl to you?”
Julian shook his head solemnly. “Work is my priority,” he replied.
“True. Since we are men, how can we start a family without first having a stable career?”
“Work hard by my side for the next two years. After that, I’ll arrange something for you,” Jasper said.
Julian smiled, but he did not put much thought into his words.
In his mind, protecting Jasper was his topmost priority. Everything else was secondary.
Two hours later, the plane landed at Cavern City International Airport.
Jack Tanner came to pick them up from the airport.
“Mr. Laine, you’re finally here,” Jack said after stepping forward.
Jasper could tell that he had spent an all-nighter working with Hudson and the others from his pale and tired complexion. “Work is important, but you need to rest as well,” he said.
Jack laughed and said, “I can’t help much in terms of technical skills, but it’s my responsibility to manage and reassure all the employees.”
“Let’s talk in the car.”
Jasper led the way as they walked out of the airport.
After they got into the car, Jasper realized that Jack kept staring at Julian. “He’s my personal bodyguard,” he explained.
Jack gasped in realization. He was not surprised. Considering Jasper’s net worth and social status, he should have employed a personal bodyguard a long time ago.
“How’s everything at the company right now?” Jasper asked.
“The competition between both parties lasted till four in the morning. Although it was extremely tough, we managed to protect our server. However, we took a huge loss this time round. The firewalls we purchased and the server upgrades in the machinery room alone cost millions,” Jack replied.
“Nonetheless, the good news is that both the portal webpage and KK have been restored. This incident impacted us greatly. KK has been disconnected for nearly 13 hours, and the users are still not reassured about the situation.”
Jasper’s expression brightened a little after listening to what he said. He then nodded and said, “Since losses are inevitable, all we can do for now is try our best to minimize it.”
Soon after, the car arrived at the two-storey commercial building that Terizone had just moved into. Upon entering the building, Jasper was met by the sight of dozens of employees working busily at their respective desks.
Terizone had recruited all of these employees later on, so Jasper did not know any of them.
Everyone was loaded with work right now due to the incident. Despite this, the atmosphere was lively as there were frequent exchanges of conversation and movement between desks.
Jasper was impressed with the vibrant work atmosphere at Terizone.
“Jack, it seems that you’re managing the company pretty well,” Jasper joked.
“I just proposed a general structure. I can’t deny that the founders of Terizone are all extremely talented. Most of the results should be credited to them,” Jack said in a humble manner.
Jasper nodded and told him, “You’ll have to return to JW Capital in the future. I allocated you here just to assist these start-up rookies so that they can familiarize themselves with the management methods of a contemporary company as soon as possible. It seems that everything is progressing well.”
After that, Jasper opened the door of the meeting room and walked in.
Zaine and the others were all fast asleep in the meeting room. Logan, in particular, was snoring loudly as he slept.
This seemingly unorganized and unrefined team would be known as the core of Terizone Inc., a world-renowned company, in the future.
All of it would be made possible because of them.
Thinking about this, Jasper reminisced upon the fact that regardless of in the past or the present, their success was definitely meant to be.
