Life at the Top

That night, in a coffee house in the province, Jasper met with John after a long time.

“You’re finally back. I’ve called you to meet up so many times but you weren’t in the province.”

John laughed as he spoke, pulling Jasper into a hug when the two met.

Jasper chuckled. “I was working on something in Swallow Capital for a while, so it took me some time to get back… But I have to say that I was surprised to hear that you’re also in the province when I called. I thought you were still over in the towns.”

At that, John smiled. “Thanks to you, I got transferred to the city branch as their vice president in charge of the credit system. I just came back to the province to participate in the provincial ICBS presidential study meeting.”

“You got promoted? That’s got nothing to do with me. I’m pretty sure it’s all your hard work.” Jasper smiled.

John shook his head. “You know how it is with banks, we’re evaluated by deposit indexes. The accounts you opened with me alone already doubled, tripled our outlet’s indexes.
