Victory in Life
Chapter 684
Fletcher replied grimly, "No matter how the situation really is, he did break Ned's arm. The Adkins can leave a job in Reed City if I don't even get justice for my son."
Nodding, Len replied, "Alright, it seems like we are in the same understanding, then, the Coine and Adkins Families have been close since our father's generation. There's no way I'm gonna shut up and see someone bully Ned."
"Dad, Uncle Adkins, I don't plan on giving 950 million to the city government" Marcus said grimly.
"They're obviously after us, the work of the last few years would have been worth it if I had given them that money."
Len was about to speak when Marcus' phone rang.
"This is Mr. Powers from the city government." Marcus' expression changed the moment he received the call.
After a while, Marcus hung up the phone angrily and spoke, "Dad, Uncle Adkins, Mr. Powers wants me to pay the bid price of 950 million in three business days according to the rules, what does that mean?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Len glared at Marcus who seemed to have no idea how to choose his words properly and growled. "There are some things you can keep to yourself, okay? you don't have to state every thought that comes to your mind! how old are you, huh? can't you tell the difference between what you can and can't say?"
Marcus replied angrily, "Master Powers sounded so loud on the phone, he said that if I didn't pay, the city government would sue us and we would be taken to court, at that time, he said, they even investigate and charge new for defrauding state-owned property! This is not even a big deal and they make this out of proportion!"
At that moment, Len's expression also changed.
He looked at Fletcher and spoke grimly, "That guy who just took office in the city government, isn't he?
Fletcher sneered, "It seems so, he's the only one who doesn't like us, they've made some moves against us recently so there's no way they're letting go of this opportunity."
"Hmph, the Coines aren't their punching bags." Len scoffed and turned to Marcus, saying, "You have three more days, right? so before those days are over, I need you to get something done."
"What's that?" ask Marcus
"You're saying Jasper bribed this guy named Chad? then go and think of a plan to get him fired."
The Coine and Adkins families are very strong in Reed City, the next night, Jasper receives a call from Chad.
Walking out of the hotel, Jasper and Julian arrive at the satay stall and see Chad smoking by the side of the road sadly.
"You're here, Mr. Laine." Chad quickly turns off his cigarette butts when he sees Jasper walking over.
Although polite as before, Chad also spoke to Jasper with a little respect and caution now.
Jasper pretended to be unaware of this small but important change and glanced at the small pool of cigarette butts on the floor beside Chad with a smile. "Is there anything that bothers you, Mr Wright?"
Chad smiled bitterly. "You don't have to call me politely anymore."
"Let's sit down, I'll tell you when we eat."
"My parents are farmers, I don't really care about cheap food prices, especially at dinner, there's nothing better than sheep's satay." Jasper laughs.
"Good!" Chad's eyes brightened and he turned to yell at the owner, "I'm asking for ten more skewers of sheep, please!"
Chad opens two bottles of cold beer, he also gives Julian a few bottles of non-alcoholic beverages because he knows that Julian is Jasper's bodyguard and does not drink.
"So tell me, Mr Wright, what happened?" ask Jasper.
"My boss spoke to me when I came out today, he said that he would move it to a small village south of Reed City," Chad explained with a long sigh.
"From working in a big city relegated directly to a small village? not even in a small town first? that's not unusual" Jasper commented meaningfully.
"Ha ha. It's Coine's family work." Chad scoffed and gulped at the beer violently.
"So I broke down the table and surrendered, I exploded and vented all the injustice I had kept inside me, if the Coine family wanted to oppress and dominate, he said, then I better not work there anymore!"
"I've been thinking of working with you, Mr. Laine, so I wonder if I still have a chance? Chad glanced at Jasper with an expression filled with hope."
If Chad was ever reluctant to leave his job because he had been attached to the job he had been doing for more than half of his life, he was no longer now that he had seen the truth behind the working system, he was ready to give his all.
"I don't want anything else." Jasper grabbed his beer bottle and clinked it with Chad's bottle.
Chad grinned and spoke, "Alright then, I'll start working for you now Mr. Laine, I'll be your loyal subordinate!"
"You'll soon realize how smart this decision is."
Jasper was truly grateful to Marcus for this incident.
After all, it wasn't easy to get such talent in management like Chad by his side, and Marcus easily did it for him,
Despite having the advantage of being reincarnated with future memories, Jasper knows that not everyone who is an expert in the management industry is suitable to work at a company like JW Capital.
However, Chad was different, while Chad was not a famous person in Jasper's past life, this short time was enough for Jasper to recognize the potential of this man.
The two were in a good mood now that their frustration was resolved, time began to pass as they both drank and chatted.
Just as they started the third round of drinking, two vans suddenly stopped on the road and more than ten black-clothed men jumped out with machetes, all of them rushing towards Jasper's table.
The sudden development caught everyone off guard.
The incident was like a movie scene, and the other customers who were eating around them all shouted while running around.
Julian reacted very quickly. "Jasper, lookout!"
