Victory in Life
Chapter 386
As expected, the celebration party to earn the right to host the Olympics became a major event involving the entire country.
Entertainment, for the citizens of today, is very far from the wide array of options that appear in the future, all they have are a few ways to have fun here and there.
The nightlife is mainly dancing in discos or eating and drinking beer at barbeque stalls, some big cities may have karaoke rooms and people will stop by to sing some songs.
That'sthat's all.
Thus, when the news of the banquet was released, it instantly became a household topic within the country given its relationship with the agreement to host the Olympics.
Its influence can be considered as second only to the annual New Year's Eve countdown on national television.
However, the countdown is annual, but there is only one banquet of this celebration as it has acquired the right to host the Olympics.
It makes the banquet much more special.
The next day, Jasper and Henry arrive at the airport together.
All the guests from Harbor City arrived at the Swallow Capital today, so Jasper definitely had to pick them up.
However, Jasper was unfocused upon arriving at the airport.
Considering the four wealthy families would arrive together, including tough seniors like Old Man Law, the Swallow Capital immediately decided to give it the highest standards of welcome once they found out.
Ignoring the other welcoming teams, the fact that the mayor and deputy mayor of the Swallow Capital were present meant Jasper had to step aside.
However, no one present also took it lightly, however the higher-ups were well aware that the four great families of Harbor City and the wealthy businessmen were here not for them but for Jasper.
Jasper has done something in Harbor City, and it's no secret to the higher-ups.
As the grandson of Mr. Law's parents, Henry certainly joined the conversation with some important people there.
"Oh my God, just look how enthusiastic they are with you, I think they all seem to want to lock you up in a little cage."
Henry spoke with envy when the two returned.
Jasper didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What does that have to do with keeping me in a cage with enthusiastic people?"
"They'll lock you up so you can work with them, of course! They're aware of your abilities and influence" Henry explained.
Jasper smiled, but there was no change in his expression as he replied, "They're here because of your grandfather whom they welcomed, there's no way I can talk to such great people if I'm alone."
Henry looked at Jasper's calm expression and smirked, "Sometimes I really wonder if you are a wise old man who has reincarnated into our timeline. We're both young, but why are you so amazing, hmm?"
Henry never thought that his true jokes were the truth, sure, Jasper was physically in his 20s, but his soul was a wise old man who had experienced more than half the events of a lifetime.
Less than ten minutes later, a special plane landed on the tarmac, Jasper and Henry followed behind the two main figures and were followed by a welcoming group.
With Old Man Law in front, the other heads of the four great families walking down the stairs, the two mayors of the Swallow Capital stepped in to greet them, enthusiastically greeting Old Man Law.
Although this was the first time everyone had met each other, the older generation seemed to have a tacit understanding to all act like old friends and start chatting.
Old Man Law excused himself and walked over to Jasper, patting his shoulder in a very familiar manner. "We meet again, Jasper."
Jasper greeted him politely, "I'm glad to see you're still beaming and alive the last time we met, Old Man."
The old man laughed loudly, "It's too early for me to rest when I see the citizens living a better life and the strength and influence of our nation growing every day,"
