Life at the Top

In a luxurious villa within the province, Dawson Schuler raised his phone and laughed. “That means you really find this young man extremely capable?” he said.

Wendy, who was seated in her office in Commercial Bank, replied intently, “For real, Dad. He’s the most capable person I’ve ever met in the financial industry. I know that the company is now in a financial slump. That’s why I intend to bring him to meet you,” she said.

“Aren’t you bringing your boyfriend to meet me instead?” Dawson laughed out loud.

A faint blush dusted Wendy’s cheeks. “Dad, I’m telling you something important,” she nagged.

“Alright, alright,” Dawson replied, “Since he’s your friend, it’s alright if you bring him home for a meal. I have my own plans for other things. You shouldn’t overthink things. I’ve been through so many hardships throughout the years. This isn’t much of a problem. It can be solved quickly,” he added.

From Dawson’s perspective, Wendy was still young. Her friend was also a young man. What experience and capability would he have?

Wendy was finding any help she could get. Little did she know, he was facing a huge problem. One could not even begin to imagine the magnitude of it. He could not solve it himself, so how could her friend do so?

“You’ll definitely change your mind after meeting him,” Wendy said. She understood Dawson’s thoughts. However, she did not say anything else. Reality spoke louder than words. She believed that someone like Jasper would shine wherever he went.

After hanging up the call, Dawson sighed. If this problem could not be solved, he was glad that his daughter had someone to take care of her… However, this young man would first have to go through his vetting.

On the other hand, Wendy was just about to head over to tell Jasper the time they would be meeting her father. Right then, someone barged into her office in a hurry.

Harold Wood had an extremely panicked expression on his face. “Oh my goodness, Ms. Schuler! Did you know that Jasper Laine purchased the futures for international crude oil in a full position? He leveraged the prices by 50 times. It’s 3.6 billion dollars! He bought it all in a full position!” he exclaimed.

“Huh?! Has he gone insane?!” Wendy shouted out loud in surprise. He was entering the market in a full position under a futures leverage. This meant that if the market fluctuated slightly in the opposite direction, Jasper’s position would be liquidated and he would be done for.

“I’ll go look for him at once!” Wendy exclaimed. Pushing Harold away, she rushed out immediately.

At this moment, a fire was slowly spreading at one of the largest oil fields in the Middle East. A strong wind was headed its way from more than six miles away. It would be arriving in a few minutes’ time…
