Zayden nodded. He glanced at Terence and said, “Initially, I intended for him to act as our informant, but it looks like that won’t work anymore.”
Sylva chuckled. “If that’s your intention, I wouldn’t say that the plan is totally ruined. If you manage to take control of these two brothers, you can do things in the open and behind their backs. It may be unexpectedly effective,” he said.
Zayden’s gaze lit upon registering what he said.
Sylva did not say much due to Terence’s presence in the room. However, Zayden instantly made a 180-degree change as an idea popped up in his head due to Sylva’s advice.
After organizing his thoughts, Zayden looked at Terence and snickered. “How certain are you that you’ll be able to convince your brother?” He asked.
Terence peered at Zayden hesitantly after pondering upon it for a while. He could not bring himself to say anything.
“Why are you hesitating? Say it at once!” Zayden said impatiently.
“Mr. Hanks, I know that you’re a prominent figure with extensive capabilities. However, I don’t know if that will be enough to win over my brother. Besides, my brother has just received an investment from Jasper Laine. He’s currently preparing to start up his business, so I’m afraid it might difficult to convince him without a practical excuse,” Terence explained.
Zayden sneered and said, “You haven’t done anything for me yet, but you’re already requesting benefits?”
Terence shivered as he caught sight of Zayden’s cold gaze. “Give me two days, Mr. Hanks. Christmas is coming soon. I’ll think of a way to convince him,” he said immediately.
Zayden hummed nonchalantly and said, “You can promise him that I’ll give him double of whatever Jasper Laine is offering him. After we succeed, the two of you will enjoy plenty of benefits.”
Terence suppressed the excitement in his heart. “Thank you, Mr. Hanks!” He exclaimed courteously.
“Scram.”
…
Jasper did not know anything about Zayden’s return to the province. He was clueless about the fact that Zayden was currently coming up with a scheme to defeat him as well.
At that moment, he was having a discussion about work with Jack Tanner, who had just returned from Swallow Capital, at the investment company.
“Sena’s condition has generally stabled. Besides, it’s now the Christmas holidays, so most of the employees have returned to their hometowns for the new year. There are only a few employees on duty right now,” Jack said.
Jasper nodded and smiled at Jack. “You’ve worked hard during this period of time,” he told him.
“It’s just work. Furthermore, it’s not like I’m working for nothing. I’m being paid to do so. It’s my responsibility,” Jack replied.
Jasper massaged his temples and said, “I’ll still need you to be in charge of the work in Sena in the future. However, the investment company can’t be left vacant either. Do you have any close associates that would be able to share the workload with you here?” He asked
Jasper had long been dissatisfied with the performance of the investment company.
As the main boss of the company, it was impossible for Jasper to allocate all of his effort and time to the investment company. He needed time to handle other ventures as well. Therefore, setting up a senior management team within the investment company was a pressing issue that they had to attend to immediately.
Jack pondered upon it for a while. “I can inquire with some old friends. However, I’ll only be able to tell you the results next year. On the other hand, I’d suggest you seek out a professional headhunter company,” he said.
Jasper agreed with Jack. “Alright, I’ll hand this task over to you then. In short, it must be done as soon as possible,” he said.
After Jack agreed with his arrangements, he continued hesitantly, “Mr. Laine, I’m actually here today to ask you about your opinion on something as well.”
Jasper laughed and said, “Why are you still being hesitant in front of me? Ask me directly if you’re curious about anything.”
Jack asked, “Mr. Laine, have you ever considered letting Sena go through with its public listing?”
