Life at the Top

Given Jerome’s status and position, he was still not qualified to know Secretary Lee personally.

However, he knew Director Sund, who was following Secretary Lee’s lead from behind, very well. After all, he was the direct supervisor of the self-regulatory council. He was in charge of managing Jerome’s council.

Jerome headed over to greet Director Sund instinctively when he caught sight of him.

However, once he noticed Director Sund, who was usually friendly toward him although they were not particularly close, sending him a harsh glare, he immediately stopped walking toward him.

At the same time, a sense of uneasiness arose within him.

“My apologies for coming late, Mr. Laine.”

Secretary Lee made his way in front of Jasper in a hurry. He extended his hand toward him from a distance away and shook Jasper’s hand politely, speaking to him with a sincere expression on his face.

Jasper chuckled and said, “You’re not late. It’s the opening of my restaurant today, but Mr. Canne from the self-regulatory council claims that our restaurant has violated the law. He’s ordering us to close down the restaurant for further rectification, so our opening is being delayed.”

Secretary Lee smiled awkwardly after detecting the dissatisfaction in Jasper’s tone. He turned around and dragged Director Sund in front of him. “Mr. Laine, this is Director Sund. He’s the office head who’s in charge of managing the office directors from the self-regulatory councils of various industries within the city,” he said.

Director Sund extended his hand at once. “Mr. Laine, it’s nice to meet you,” he said courteously.

After shaking hands with Director Sund, Jasper said, “It’s great that you’re here. Please check if my restaurant has violated the law in any way,

“If my restaurant has really violated the law, I’ll close it down at once and never get involved in the food and beverage industry ever again without any complaints. However, if nothing’s wrong with my restaurant, we will need to have a long talk about it.”

Director Sund looked at the rectification notice thrown onto the ground by his feet while he registered Jasper’s words. A look of distress formed on his face.
