Jasper merely smiled at Henry’s shock and asked, “Do you think the Law family is the only one with their eyes on this project?”
Henry replied subconsciously, “Of course not. I already heard from some other families that are just as strong as the Law family.”
“Exactly my point. Cake is meant to be shared with everyone, be it the Law family or other families as well. Everyone will have to discuss and compromise for it to work. You take a slice here, and I’ll take a slice there.
“But if someone decides to be greedy and wants to monopolize the entire cake, then everyone else will be without cake. Who else but him would deserve the beating, then?”
At that, Jasper turned to Henry and spoke intently, “We don’t garner hatred of the majority.”
Thoroughly impressed, Henry gave Jasper a big thumbs up. “That’s what my dad said too. I’m impressed, man. You’re good with stocks and you also understand traditional business too.”
Jasper merely smiled but remained silent.
From what he remembered of his past life, the Law family had only gotten the Olympic Village project but not any of the other venues.
The Law family even had a big issue at the end with the Olympic Village project alone.
After racking his brain, he then remembered how there was a small rumor about a mismatched distribution of profits. A lot of people were disgruntled because of it, so they started sabotaging each other. They ended up fighting so badly and involving the higher-ups that it was only resolved by the leader on top.
From how it looked now, everyone seemed to have their swords out and were ready to fight before it officially began. Things seemed way more complicated than what he had heard in his previous life.
Now Jasper wondered how he too could get a slice of cake with the Law family’s help.
It did not matter even if the Olympic Village was out of the question, for being in charge of even a single venue was tremendous news.
A stadium was not to be underestimated, for these main stadiums had ended up being renowned locations in his past life. The Olympic Stadium, however, had fallen short of its expectations due to all sorts of reasons.
The track stadium, for example. Many might not know where one was referring to by that, but everything would change if you named it differently. Say… the Honeycomb Stadium!
The stadium for water-related competitions as well, also known as… the Aquatic Center!
Still, all of this required further planning.

At the Westin, Anna was very surprised and elated to see Jasper.
Yet with her character, there was no way that she would run over to hug him without care like a little girl.
Such was the case when they bade farewell at Harbor City’s airport. A hug from behind was the most that she could bring herself to give.
This was the biggest difference between Anna and Wendy as well.
Perhaps it was due to their upbringing, so Anna was more introverted and could control her emotions better while Wendy was more extroverted and obvious when it came to her likes and dislikes.
“Why are you here in Swallow Capital?”
Anna pushed Henry out the door and closed it behind her with practiced ease, completely ignoring Henry’s impatient knocking outside. Lifting her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, Anna asked gently.
“Would you believe me if I said I was waiting for you?” Jasper teased.
Anna pursed her lips and glared at the man’s lack of self-restraint, but she did not reply.
Jasper immediately gave in at the sight of Anna’s alluring and charming reaction. “I actually came here to buy Easy Media.”
“I told you that I plan to buy an entertainment company in both Harbor City and Mainland, then develop both sides to enter the entertainment market together.”
Anna asked, “Did it go smoothly?”
“More or less. I’ve gotten everything done.” Jasper smiled.
Nodding, Anna suddenly pardoned. “Give me a moment.”
Then she rushed out the door.
Jasper had no idea what Anna went to do, but she had her reasons why. As such, he sat down on the sofa in the living room and waited for her to return.
Upon leaving the room, Anna went to knock on Henry’s door.
