Just then, Zachary had already led Jasper over to a modest-looking middle-aged man who had a pair of round glasses on.

“Jasper, this is Michael Lane, otherwise known as Mr. Lane. He’s the CEO of Gladness International Corporation.”

“Mike, this is the wonderful young man I’ve been telling you about, Jasper Laine.”

When Zachary was done with the introductions, Jasper extended a hand and said while smiling, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lane. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Michael smiled as he shook Jasper’s hand. “I’ve never heard about you in the past, but Zach’s been talking about you for the past few days.”

The fact that Zachary and Michael had nicknames for each other proved that they were on close terms.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jasper said, “Mr. Lane, I won’t beat around the bush anymore since Uncle Law is here. I’m interested in purchasing Gladness Entertainment, which you currently own.”

Michael glanced at Zachary before he smiled at Jasper and said, “I do intend to sell it. However, in terms of its pricing, I understand that it’s not exactly cheap, but I don’t plan to lower the price.”
