Victory in Life
Chapter 26
In the car, Wendy could not stop staring at Jasper while driving.
"Is there something on my face?"
Jasper asked him while touching his face. Looking at his reflection in the rearview mirror, he was no different from any other man other than the fact that he looked a little more handsome.
There was a confused expression on Wendy's face. He asked the question shortly afterwards.
"I'm just curious. You always treat those around you with kindness and civility. Tap, you're also being very cold to other people. Instead of asking Mr. Jones to kick them out, you let them stand there. It's a lot harder than throwing it away." She laughs.
"I don't think about it too much. To me, they were nothing but insignificant walkers in my life. If it wasn't for the fact that they spoke to you in such an insulting way, I wouldn't even care about them."
Jasper said without further ado. As a person who had lived two lives, how could he not understand the importance of remaining humble?
"Then John, I thought he was a pretty good guy. Moreover, it has far more connections than me in the domestic sphere. There will come a time when we will need each other's help. It's always better to have one friend more than one more enemy in the business sector."
"Take an example of today's events. His appearance saved me from having a lot of trouble. It's impossible for me to find someone and show them the balance in my bank account to tell them that I'm rich, isn't it?"
"Although the feeling of doing so feels quite great, I can only do it once or twice. Doing it often will make me look retarded."
Wendy kept smiling. He seemed to be thinking of something. "By the way, are you free tomorrow?" she asked.
"Are we going to meet your father? Sure." Sure."
With a playful smile on his face, Jasper instantly agreed.
Wendy's surprised. He looked at Jasper in shock while wondering if Jasper knew how to read minds. He always seems to know what's on his mind.
Thas right. After accompanying Jasper and watching him earn an incredible sum of 3.1 billion dollars by trading crude futures, Wendy was determined to recommend Jasper to her father.
His family's company is currently in a bad situation. Wendy desperately wants Jasper to help her family solve this problem.
However, Wendy intended to tell Jasper about his true identity before then.
"There's something else I have to tell you" Wendy said carefully.
Jasper pretended to listen to him attentively.
"Actually, my father was Dawson Schuler" Wendy said. After saying so, he looked at the unmoving Jasper. He had previously worried that Jasper would feel depressed after he revealed his identity. However, his worries eventually subsided as Jasper was now richer than his father.
Despite this, Wendy was still worried Jasper would blame her for hiding his identity from her.
*I guessed right."
Jasper smile. There was not the slightest bit of disgust on his face. He continued to speak, "Your dressing and acting make you different from those from ordinary family backgrounds. What's more, we both come from the same town. The only rich man whose last name is Schuler from our city is the head of the Schuler Group."
"You don't blame me?" Wendy asked worriedly.
"Why should I blame you?"
"After all, I'm hiding my identity from you" he said.
"It's not a big deal at all. You never stand out and never want to attract unnecessary attention or create unnecessary trouble because of your identity. If this was in the past, I would feel very depressed. After all, your father is the richest man in the province and you are his only daughter." Jasper laughed softly.
Wendy let go of some of her tension after listening to Jasper's words. He laughed lightly. "Are you depressed now?"
"I don't take into account the wealth of others when I'm friends now. After all, they couldn't be richer than me."
After telling famous jokes year after year, Jasper once again felt that being rich was truly a great thing! Everything is too good to be true!
"In addition, your father is the richest man in the province and I am one of the ten richest billionaires in the country. He wouldn't think of me as someone who's after you just because you're a princess, would he?"
Alrighty! Let's go tomorrow, then. I'll take a day off."
Wendy nodded. Given his father's current situation, it seemed that he was the one who was going to ask Jasper for help.
"Sure!"
Jasper agreed.
When he got home, Jasper did not rest. He kept on recalling to further refine the next move he wanted to make in his grand plan!
Wendy arrived at Jasper's place the next day. Both went to the province.
Dawson decides the time and place for them to meet under Wendy's arrangement.
They did not meet at his home or his company. Instead, they met at a recreation center... Golf courses.
Thompson's golf course is one of the most popular gathering locations among the wealthy people of the province.
Not many forms of entertainment were available in 2000. A guy like Dawson Schuler can't spend his free time on disco, right?
In comparison, golf is a relaxing, recreational, and premium activity that improves a person's status. It has certainly become one of the favorite sports of the local rich people.
Jasper and Wendy enter the golf course together. A middle-aged man dressed in white smiled at the two of them from a distance.
It was a face that Jasper was very familiar with.
He is the chairman of Schuler Group, Dawson Schuler!
He was a businessman who started by selling fruit carts on the streets and ended up owning billions of assets at the height of his business glory.
In the 1990s, households that had 10 thousand dollars were considered rich. At the time, the Schuler Group was considered the main company of the province.
Although the Schuler Group was not as brilliant as it used to be. Currently, it still had a large amount of funds. With assets worth more than a billion dollars, Dawson Schuler is the richest man in the province. Of course, this was all before Jasper got back up.
"Dad!"
Wendy called out happily. She immediately hugged Dawson Schuler like a bird coming home to her nest.
"Haha, I can finally see my dear daughter. How are you?" dawson asked with a big laugh.
"Everything went well."
Wendy smiled. He did not forget to include Jasper in the conversation. Returning to his side, he said, "Dad, this is .. the friend I told you about, Jasper Laine."
"Mr Schuler, I've admired you for a long time" Jasper said sincerely.
In his previous life, Jasper could only admire someone like Dawson Schuler from afar. Although he ended up killing himself by jumping off the building, Jasper couldn't even compare with him.
Nevertheless, Jasper had unknowingly taken over his position.
Dawson smiled and extended his hand to Jasper. "Wendy has been telling me a lot about you lately. Jasper Laine, right?
Pretty good of you too. Brilliant youth. Don't call me Mr. Schuler. Since you're a friend of Wendy's, you can just call me Uncle Schuler" she said.
"Then I will call you Uncle Schuler" said Jasper.
"Do you know how to play golf?" ask Dawson to Jasper. So far, he had a pretty good first impression of this polite man.
Dawson asked Jasper casually. He thought, a young man like Jasper must be used to playing billiards. I don't know much about golf.
Golf is a sport that is pursued by people from the top. According to Wendy, Jasper was not from a wealthy family. He was born into a rather poor family.
Wendy had the same thoughts as her father as well. Just as he was about to say something to prevent Jasper from feeling awkward, he spoke up.
"I know a little. Then my skills are ordinary.
Even so, it looks like I can play a few rounds with you."
