Victory in Life
Chapter 49

80-81

Sally went to make dinner with a happy laugh.

Wendy turned to look at Jasper with a proud look.

Jasper laughs. "This woman is getting sweeter all the time."

...

Dinner consists of chicken, some vegetable dishes, and soup.

Jasper and his family sat around the dining table. The atmosphere became very bright and Wendy was no longer as nervous as before. In fact, he began to actively dilute the atmosphere.

Charlie talks more now that Wendy is here, and she asks him a few questions from time to time.

The woman is intelligent, because she doesn't tell the whole story. Instead, he simply said that his family was doing business and he was working for the Commercial Bank.

As far as ordinary families were concerned, a woman with such a family background was the most suitable for their son.

Not to mention that Wendy is a beautiful, and kind woman. Sally and Charlie were very happy with her.

Jasper drinks with Charlie and says, "Dad, these years ... I'm too much trouble for you both."

Charlie didn't even raise his head. "What are you talking about? It's part of our lives as parents."

Jasper laughed bitterly. "I broke up with Penelope."

Wendy's ears immediately raised on the topic.

"That's great, then." Charlie's happy. "This girl is so much better than Penelope."

"Wendy and I still know each other. We're not together yet. But it was only a matter of time before we became together."

"Come back with us tonight, Dad. I'm buying a new house, we can live together" Jasper suggested.

"No."

Charlie refused without much thought.

"I can't be free in a city as freely as in a village" Charlie explains.

Jasper insisted, saying, "I bought some villas in the city some time ago. You two can live together. There is even a garden on the side where you can grow vegetables and flowers. It's all up to you."

Charlie's speechless.

"I know that mom and dad sacrificed a lot for me, Dad. I know you were just silent about how Penelope treated you badly just because I liked her. But it's different now. I just want you both to be happy." Jasper sincere.

"I'm gonna have your mom pack up after dinner. Remember to give back the money, Charlie reminded.

"I will not forget," Jasper replied happily, "Not when the dignity of the Laine family is at stake."

"Bad kid" Charlie smiled and walked back home.

After dinner, Jasper takes Wendy with him as he goes to pay off debts to everyone his family has borrowed money from.

Except for Bard's family, most of his relatives loved his family, so they were more grateful than upset.

Jasper was clear when it came to this family. He returned 10,000 for every few thousand his family borrowed, and 15,000 for 10,000 loans

It was not that Jasper did not want to give more, because the flowers he earned a day with his wealth alone had exceeded the amount he paid today.

It's just that people tend to take advantage of kindness.

He would only plant the seeds of hatred if he gave too much.

After touring, the whole village learns that Charlie's son has made it in the city. He was even very generous to pay their debts. The whole village praised him.

Jasper returns home and sees Charlie and his mother packed up and ready to leave.

Their clothes were few, so they were ready to leave at any time.

Locking the door, Jasper personally traveled to the village chief's house and asked him to keep an eye on his plot of land. Jasper wouldn't be so good anymore if the Bard family tried to take it again.

Jasper actually did not care about the plot of land, but he refused to let his aunt do what she wanted. If his aunt wanted to snatch it, then Jasper would do everything to keep it from her aunt.

Not to mention this land was something that their ancestors had given Charlie, so it could not be given away.

This is a matter of the dignity of the Laine family.

After taking care of everything, Jasper stuffed his parents' luggage into the trunk and left Laine's village for the city.

Sitting in the car, Sally touched here and there before exclaiming, "This car is very comfortable. It must cost a lot, right?"

Charlie held back his words, but his gaze was filled with admiration.

Jasper's parents had never sat in a luxury car, so they didn't know much about cars, but whether a car of this caliber was comfortable or not could be felt as they sat in it.

Wendy smiled. "It's not cheap, but it's all your son's hard-earned money."

"It must be hard." Sally's heart ached for her son.

Wendy closed her mouth and smiled before turning to look at Jasper closely as she drove. "Yes, it's not easy at all."

In fact, it is very difficult to sit behind the computer and move the mouse while typing on the keyboard. He made money in just a few minutes.

...

A few hours later, in the Mirage city villa area, Jasper parked his car on the door of the villa he had chosen long ago and entered the house in shock to the parents behind him.

"Mom, Dad, you'll be staying here from now on. I'll have Wendy hire two housemaids for you tomorrow as well to take care of you."

Both Sally and Charlie shook their heads.

"Housekeeper ap? They're just wasting money. Why would someone take care of us when we could move on our own? Don't look for a housekeeper."

"Don't waste money." Charlie agreed.

Jasper shook his head but let the topic stop.

Jasper hands the card to Sally, the keys to the villa, and some cash mumps. "I live next door but usually busy, so take good care of yourself. I'll be fine. Wendy and I will come over for dinner and accompany you when you're free."

Save the money, and the card password is my birthday. Don't worry about spending money."

Sally received the card and promised, but it seemed clear that she planned to keep the card and keep the money, unwilling to spend it.

But it is a habit that can be slowly changed.

At least their living conditions are much better now.

Wendy accompanies the old couple, and they pander the villa to get used to their new home. Meanwhile, Jasper receives a call and walks to the villa entrance.

"According to your instructions, Mr. Laine, we have uploaded a newly compressed program of less than 1MB tonight and the customer feedback is very good! Our registered users have surpassed seven million, and we have reached a peak number of three million online users!"

Hudson's voice was filled with excitement.

"But, Mr. Laine, I just received a notice from an old classmate who works at Sena, the largest portal site in the country. They covet the number of our users and secretly develop new instant messaging software to attack us. We might be in trouble."

+++

Jasper frowned at Hudson's words.

According to his memory, the current Sena should be in a critical period of listing preparation.

Sena did develop communication software, and they did cause a lot of problems for Terizone.

But that was something that happened in 2004.

The butterfly wings began to flap, but Sena has now entered the communications industry two full years before it should. Not to mention they developed it themselves.

Sena is currently in full swing and will turn into one of the top three networking sites in the country along with Netsy and Soha.

The most important concept for internet users today is the web portal. Since its main function now is to read the latest news, it is much more complex than in later years.

Terizone and Sena have very different sizes now. All it takes is one small step from Sena and Terizone will lose one defensive line.

That's why Hudson called Jasper as soon as he found out. Her nervousness is evident from her tone of voice.

"Calm down first. Wait for my call."

"For now, find a way to get their internal Beta version."

Unaffected by the people in Terizone who were worried, Jasper remained unaffected.

Sena never managed to beat Terizone in the end, as Terizone slowly became a trillion-dollar powerhouse. Meanwhile, Sena was left standing on her last legs, completely left to dust.

Coupled with the memories he had of his past life, Jasper had full confidence that he could get out of this business war as a winner.

All that was left was to wait and see how Sena planned to attack Terizone.

After ending the phone call, the door behind him opened.

Wendy out.

"They're asleep" Wendy told Jasper.

"Well, it's time for us to return as well, then," replied Jasper.

However, Wendy refused to move. His gaze was fixed on Jasper as he asked nonchalantly, "Your ex-boyfriend, Penelope, you two are almost married, right?"

'Yeah, I've seen this scene before. If I misunderstand, I'm fucked.'

Jasper walked towards Bentley and replied in an even more indifferent tone than Wendy's. "Error to man, to man is error."

Wendy smiled with sickle eyes as she looked at Jasper and quickly ran to open the passenger seat door. "Let's go. Take me home, please!"

Turning on the car, Jasper breathed a sigh of relief.

'Now it's time!'

"Isn't it scary living alone?"

In Bentley, Jasper drove to the small district where Wendy lived and asked Casually.

"Not really," Wendy replied carefully, not capturing Jasper's hidden intentions.

"Don't underestimate me, okay? I've been sleeping alone since I was young because my father was always busy with work. Then it happened as I got older."

Jasper. "You know how much my parents like you, don't you? So, stop by my parents' place for dinner at any time. It's just that the district where you live is a bit far away, isn't it?"

"That's a bit overdone, isn't it?" Wendy blinked, still not understanding what Jasper was hinting at. "I'd feel bad if I always ate your parents' food."

"Your parents' you' and my parents' what? Did you forget what your father said?" Jasper asked clearly.

Wendy suddenly remembered how her father had given her to Jasper to take care of. At that moment, he realized what Jasper looked like along the way.

Blushed red, Wendy replied shyly, "that, I..."

"The whole villa area is mine. Everything's empty for now, so just pick one around my villa." Jasper sincerely invited.

" huh?! Didn't you ask me to stay with you?" Wendy exclaimed "..."

Ten minutes later, under Wendy's apartment.

Hardly, the car door slammed shut.

"Jasper, you bastard! Fuck you!"

Grabbing the keys to the villa he stole from Jasper, Wendy ran away feeling embarrassed and angry.

Jasper watched as Wendy's figure slowly disappeared into the building while she rubbed her cheeks and sighed sadly.

She knew if she wanted Wendy to stay with her, there was no way Wendy would agree given their current relationship and her shy and conservative character.

Since that wasn't her intention, Wendy was encouraged to play a role that was over-thinking.

Still, he had given her another set of keys to his villa and she did not need to spend time driving between the two locations.

"I should have invited him if I knew this would happen. I'd rather be rejected than hated by angels" Jasper murmured to himself and went home.

...

As Jasper slept peacefully, Sena's entire office burned the midnight oil in the capital.

After receiving venture capital from the world's strongest country initially, Sena plans to push themselves into overseas markets this year. Their working conditions and others were much better than Terizone.

Dane Warroid sits in a boardroom, where all of Sena's technical and senior executive backbones are present.

"I've seen the Beta version of Sena chat, it's not bad."

Dane spoke, and most of those in the meeting room brightened up.

"However, this is not a reason for us to get ahead of ourselves. If we can't even win five amateurs in the Cavern city with the best Technical strength and team in the country, then we might as well have to forget about getting into the market. Then we better jump off the roof."

As the founder, Dane had absolute authority in Sena, and his choice of words was rather crude.

"Our goal is to take a leading position in the field of instant messaging. Terizone is simply nothing more than the advantage of having developed the technology earlier than us. It's nothing more than a little pebble on our way to being top."

"Instant messaging is the most important battle we have to win before we enter the stock market abroad. If we win, then our Business Report will look much better, and thus will affect the outcome of whether we can successfully enter the market or not. There's no room for carelessness."

"Master, Warren, the Technology Research and Development department is very confident in winning this battle" Wells said confidently, Sena's current technical director.

Dane nodded. "What about the Business Department? Have you completed the release plan for the first version of the Beta program?"

The other senior executive nodded and spoke, "Ready according to plan. It will be officially released at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and we have already started spreading the word on our official website."

"Very good. I'll wait for news of your victory and victory then."

Dane stood up and walked to the big French window with a smile." Soha is our only competitor in terms of the internet market in the country. Even Sam Netsy is miles behind us."
