The municipal official had previously dealt with Jasper a few times before this, and Jasper had left a great impression on him. The official chuckled softly.
“Yes, the Nauritus City Government is planning to compile a list of young and promising entrepreneurs; we intend to give them a commendation in order to encourage all the young people within the city to learn from their peers!
“Mr. Laine from JW Capital is on the list. However, he hasn’t been officially notified.”
The provincial official nodded and said, “That’s good to hear. A young man like him deserves to be supported.”
“We shouldn’t just stand here and chat. How about Jasper and I bring all of you to see the Southface River?” Dawson asked them at the perfect timing.
“In that case, Mr. Law, why don’t we take a look together?” The provincial official invited Zachary as he turned to look at him.
“Alright, let’s go and take a good look at the project,” Zachary said with a chuckle.
Not only did the Southface River project mean a lot to Jasper, Dawson, and JW Real Estates, the Nauritus City Government and the Southeast Province City Government also considered it an extremely important project.
JW Real Estates had spent a total amount of 1.8 billion Somer Dollars on the project. With the support of massive funding and Dawson Schuler’s full-time supervision, the project had progressed at an astounding pace!
Amazingly, the construction was completed within ten months.
Usually, the construction of a complex, large-scale project like the Southface River project typically took three to five years. It was common for such projects to encounter a shortage of funds. Occasionally, construction could take as long as ten years.
However, JW Real Estates had outperformed them all.
While Jasper and Dawson brought the group of prominent figures to the Southface River and began introducing the area to them, a young man glared coldly at Jasper’s silhouette from a short distance away.
“Damn f*cker! This jerk does not deserve any of this!”
Zane Lancaster, who had just arrived at the Southeast Province only two days before this, had been greatly shocked within the past forty-eight hours.
He initially thought that Somerland was a poor and undeveloped country, and had expected farms and wooden houses to litter the real estate. He did not even expect there to be a single six-story building in the entire country.
However, once he stepped out of the airport, he was faced with the sight of a bustling city as he traveled along the airport highway.
Although the excessively broad roads and tidy streets looked slightly aged, a vibrant energy surged through them!
None of this could be seen in Harbor City, which was small and cramped.
Harbor City was still much more developed than most cities within Somerland, and was filled with plenty of skyscrapers. The business district was extremely lively and happening as well.
However, anyone could tell that the development of Harbor City was now at a bottleneck, whereas Somerland had only just begun.
There was nothing wrong with this.
What Zane found the most unacceptable was Jasper Laine’s prestigious reputation over here!
Almost everyone knew him!
Zane had just been here for two days, but he had heard the people around him shower Jasper with all sorts of praise.
The prince of business?
A young talent?
A business prodigy?
What an over-exaggeration.
They talked about Jasper like he was a deity.
Zane was filled with jealousy.
“F*ck this. Back in Harbor City, I’m always on the newspaper, and I’m also well-known by the public, but what do those newspapers say about me?
“They either report on my recent purchases, my spending, or the women that I’ve slept with! Those reports make me seem like a useless jerk!”
Mitch Langdon stood beside Zane. His gaze flashed ambiguously as he replied in an even tone, “Aren’t you a useless jerk? Those newspapers are merely telling everyone the truth.”
“Is Jasper Laine any better than I am? Does he have less women around him than I do?” Zane huffed angrily.
“This has nothing to do with women. He’s different from you because he managed to get those women with his own abilities. What about you? Has any woman ever approached you after you left your father?” Mitch asked with a cold sneer.
