Victory in Life
Chapter 40

60-61

How many companies are there in the country that are worth more than a billion dollars?

Ignoring those that are national, there are less than a hundred private companies in the country that are worth more than a billion dollars. This means that when Jasper's company is registered, it will be part of the top hundred companies in the country.

"You really are a man, Jasper. Mr. Ziegler sighed in admiration.

"Thank you for helping me, Mr. Ziegler, or the entire registration process will take longer." Jasper thanked me politely.

Master Ziegler waved his hand indifferently. Now that local governments have started publicly soliciting the investments of wealthy businessmen like Jasper is considered a VIP wherever they go. There was no reason for him to act high and mighty.

"You're too good. I'm just doing my job. However, what name do you want to give your company?"

Jasper glanced at Wendy whose lips were on her back smiling and gave her the name she had made a long time ago. "JW Capital."

Wendy was stunned, then her face flushed red.

The last thing he expected was that Jasper gave the company a name with a combination of their names.

"good. JW Capital that." Mr. Ziegler laughed out loud and waved his hand for his employees to put relevant information into the system.

Half an hour later, with all the industry and trade bureau letters in his hands, Jasper bid farewell to Mr. Ziegler and John.

"People from the Royce villa meet for dinner at Sheraton, Jasper, and they want me to invite you. Don't you want to join us?" John smiled and asked Jasper.

Jasper nodded. "certain. I'll be there tonight."

Seeing Jasper agree, John laughed out loud. "Well then. See you tonight."

Jasper waved his hand.

The two watch Jasper and Wendy get into Bentley and leave. Mr. Ziegler turned his head towards John and sighed in admiration. "What kind of sacred creature is Jasper, John? That's an incredible capital."

"Don't think about it too much. He is not from a big family at all. It was all his own hard work." John chuckles. Inevitably he felt proud to see the shocked expression on Mr. Ziegler's face.

"I didn't believe it at first either, but I think I understand now. Some people are born smarter than others. That's not something we can compare."

"Indeed." Master Ziegler nodded and wailed.

"Put me in for dinner tonight?" Mr. Ziegler asked.

John smiles. "It's an honor for us to have a great Mr. Ziegler join us."

Sitting in the car, Wendy held a file of documents in her hand. It might seem like just a few official letters and seals but actually, they have a billion dollar company qualification.

In addition, the company was given a name that was a combination of its name and Jasper.

Feeling warm inside, Wendy turned her head towards Jasper. "I hear you, President Jackson, and the others have dinner reservations at the Sheraton?"

Jasper nodded. "They're all connections. You can't do business without some friends here and there. All the same regardless of which industry you work in. There are some people you just need to entertain.

Wendy explained, "I didn't think to tell you this before, but do you remember Ivan? He used to be our classmate in high school. He called me a while ago and said that there's going to be a high school reunion in Sheraton tonight."

"I didn't want to leave, but he persuaded some female classmates who used to be friends with me and kept telling me to leave. You'll have dinner there too, right? How do you want to come and stop by with me?" Wendy suggested.

"Why didn't anybody call me, huh? Jasper asked playfully.

"You know how people are, how they like to look down on others. As far as they're concerned, you're just a poor boy. I think Ivan managed to earn quite a lot in the stock market this year, so he called some rather rich classmates to hang out together. That's why he didn't call you." Wendy's a little upset.

"Did Ivan try to chase you during t?" Ask Jasper.

Wendy quickly rejected the idea, "impossible. We're not even related."

"Looks like I should go to the reunion, then."

"If it wasn't for the invitations I kept receiving from some of those close female classmates, I wouldn't have left" Wendy explained.

"Don't worry, I didn't think too much about it. It's Ivan's own business if he wants to come after you. There are so many people out there chasing you. However, since he is about to appear in front of you, I want to tell him that he must not obey his wishful thinking" Jasper chuckled.

" Your words make it easy for others to misunderstand our relationship" Wendy murmured.

"There will be no misunderstanding. I mean what I'm saying, and you know it, too" Jasper said firmly.

"Hey! you're not even ready! You ... How can you say that!?"

"What should I prepare? My point is you should focus on your work with me instead of thinking about a relationship. As boss, I don't want my secretary to think about other men all the time."

"... Go to hell!" ....

Five o'clock in the afternoon, Sheraton Hotel.

As one of the first western hotel chain groups in the province, ordinary people could not afford to go to Sheraton.

Many people have a deep curiosity and admiration for this luxurious five-star hotel.

Bentley Jasper slowly stops in front of the hotel entrance and throws the key to the bellboy, Jasper receives a call from John.

"Mr Laine, we're in the orchid room. Everyone's waiting for you."

"407? All right, we're waiting for you" John said with a chuckle.

After hanging up, Jasper and Wendy enter the hotel lobby together.

Although the Sheraton was very luxurious to people in the current era, it was too old-fashioned for someone who had seen the aesthetics of the next 20 years.

"I have to be in the hospitality industry first. None of the hotels today stand out" Jasper said casually.

Wendy is used to Jasper's eccentric thinking. Just as he was about to speak, a woman he knew appeared in front of the two of them.

"Wendy Schuler?" The woman commented in surprise.

Wendy smiled. "Are you Quinny Clint? I can barely recognize you" he said.

Quinny's face was friendly and rather pretty. However, his appearance paled in comparison to Wendy.

Nonetheless, Quinny had a delicate attitude. Jasper also reminded her; she was a highly educated and polite girl.

Quinny dressed up for a reunion today. She bought her dress not long ago and it suits her.

"I thought you weren't coming."

Glad to see Wendy, Quinny walked forward and continued talking.

"I had no choice, you kept calling me one by one. I have to come how... This is Jasper Laine. Do you still remember her?"

After hearing Wendy's words, Quinny looked towards Jasper. He pondered for quite a while before shaking his head. "It's been too long, I don't remember," he said awkwardly.

Jasper doesn't mind either. She laughs. "Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's normal for you not to remember it" he said.

Quinny did not think much about what Jasper said. "Do you? A very skilled Stock Speculator in our class, Ivan Larson has earned 700-800 thousand dollars from the stock market this year alone. He paid for the reunion today" he told Wendy happily.

"He's in the room upstairs telling everyone about the basics of stocks. C'mon quickly. We might be able to get some tips and earn some money!" Quinny. He then pulled Wendy up with him.

Looking at Jasper, who had a faint smile on his face, Wendy smiled in despair. Which Stock Speculators can Jasper compare to?

Ivan was so full of confidence after earning 700-800 thousand dollars. He even held a reunion to show off. He had no idea how great Jasper had surpassed him in his achievements.

Upon arriving in the room upstairs, Jasper could hear the voice of an arrogant young man before even entering.

"That's why I said that you don't know anything. If you want to learn how to trade stocks, learn from me. I make up to 800 grand in a year. You guys can't even produce that much in ten years.

"If we weren't classmates, I wouldn't have given you this opportunity.

"Do you know people out there are calling you? They call me the King of Shares!"

At that moment, Quinny pushed the door open. "Look who I brought," he said to Ivan, who gave advice at the table, eagerly.

Ivan turned. When he saw Wendy, his eyes lit up.

He took some big steps. Ivan, who was wearing a designer suit, pretended to be elegant while talking to Wendy. "Wendy, we've been waiting for you a long time."

Small wrinkles formed on Wendy's face. "I came just to visit my old classmate. You don't have to wait for me" he said.

Knowing Wendy still firmly rejected him, Ivan was rather displeased.

It's okay if he doesn't like it in the past. Now that he was rich, how dare he continue to treat him with a lukewarm attitude?

"Wendy, you don't know, do you? I get up to 800 thousand dollars from the stock market. Within a few months, the amount reached a million dollars. I'm rich now" Ivan said without further ado.

Being known as a millionaire is indeed an interesting title these days.

He was sure that Wendy would look up to him very much.

"Congratulations" said Wendy. Nevertheless, his response was still indifferent and unsatisfactory.

Ivan frowned. He felt humiliated.

Everyone flattered him with a smile on their faces after knowing this. However, Wendy still seems indifferent to him.

Ivan glanced at Jasper, who was standing beside Wendy at close range, and frowned. "You who? It's our reunion, unrelated people can't come in" he said.

"He's Jasper Laine."

Quinny thought of Jasper back then. "He's our classmate too" he added hastily.

Ivan thought about it for a moment. He then sneered and pointed at Jasper. "You jerk! poor is it true you only eat twice a day? People who only eat a little bit of oats every day?" yells.

"Ivan Larson, he's our classmate. Be more polite!" Wendy screamed when she saw him humiliating Jasper.

The more Wendy defends Jasper, the more unhappy Ivan becomes. He grinned coldly. "A classmate or not, he must have come to ask me for tips after hearing that I made a lot of money from the stock market, right? I've seen a lot of people like that" he said.

"You can't even compare to me during our school days, you son of a bitch. The gap between us is even bigger now. If you know where you are, don't get too close to Wendy. Don't even go near him. I can give you some tips about the stock market if I'm in a good mood. You can get enough money to eat meat" he added.

As Jasper stared intently at Ivan, who was extremely arrogant, he raised his hand and wrapped it around Wendy.

"What did you say?"

Ivan's delighted expression instantly turned stiff. Jealousy and humiliation prevail over it. He looked at Jasper with a furious look and moved his teeth. "Take your dirty hands off her!"
