After Diamonique left while looking as pale as a ghost, there was an air of grievous silence lingering in the office.
Jasper looked at a total of eight men in front of him. These eight men were the technical development team for United Legends. Among them, Mr. Adams was the leader.
Even though Jasper’s method of deterrence had suppressed their arrogance and helped them understand who the real boss was around here, it was still far from enough to get them to swear their allegiance to him.
However, Jasper did not need them to swear their allegiance to him.
“Diamonique mentioned that he was in charge of numerical values?” Jasper asked indifferently.
Mr. Adams was just about to nod when he abruptly recalled something and hastened to say, “We can fill the vacancy with our own—”
“Mr. Adams,” Jasper cut Mr. Adams off with a grin and said, “You have too much on your plate already. Since you’re short of one person, I’ll send someone in to replace Diamonique, okay?”
Mr. Adams’ complexion changed. He knew that Jasper was going to slot in one of his own men into the team.
He really wanted to reject it, but the words that Jasper said earlier were still echoing in his ears.
“Alright then.” Mr. Adams submitted to reality.
“Also, since you’re responsible for the entire team’s technical work, Mr. Adams, I believe it’ll be really exhausting for you. I’ll assign you an assistant,” Jasper said flatly.
Mr. Adams’ countenance changed abruptly and he said, “Don’t go too far, Mr. Laine.”
“I’m thinking of ways to lessen your burden, Mr. Adams,” Jasper said.
Mr. Adams stared fixedly at Jasper and gritted his teeth. “I believe I can handle my own work, Mr. Laine. You’re paying me anyway.”
“So you do remember that I’m paying you, Mr. Adams?” Jasper asked.
Mr. Adams’ expression sank, and he did not utter a single word anymore.
Jasper stood up and walked over to Mr. Adams. Patting the man’s shoulder, he said, “I don’t expect your team to work for me with unswerving loyalty, so don’t expect to seize any form of authority in my company. You should do nothing more than to live a peaceful and secure life.
“Perhaps save some money for a few years so you can start your own business when you return to Coreana, am I right?”
Mr. Adams eyed Jasper suspiciously after hearing what he said.
Sure enough, Jasper’s words had hit him straight in the heart. As a foreigner himself, he had no plans of staying in Somerland forever, let alone work for Jasper his whole life. Therefore, he was bound to leave sooner or later.
Before that, though, he needed to earn enough before going home.
Otherwise, would he not turn into a laughing stock if he brought so many men over yet went home in less than a month in such a wretched state?
“I can fulfill your wishes, Mr. Adams. I’m also willing to look at us as partners and take you as my equal, provided that there’s mutual respect between us. Therefore, Mr. Adams, why don’t you put away your petty schemes? You know I’m not stingy with giving rewards.”
Jasper’s words broke Mr. Adams’ last line of defense completely.
Jasper did not expect these men to work for him with unswerving loyalty; Mr. Adams did not see himself staying in this gaming company in Somerland.
When both parties were clear on that, many things were much easier to manage.
