Life at the Top

Jasper’s negotiation before the forming of the partnership was a success.

The experts and professors then introduced themselves and exchanged name cards with him. Every single one of them, even those that had nothing to do with the project, was filled with confidence as they shook Jasper’s hand.

After the meeting was over, Jasper returned to the dean’s office alongside Patrick.

“Dorian, could you make us some tea?” Patrick was in a great mood. After instructing Dorian to make them tea, Patrick turned to tell Jasper kindly, “We’d be elated if there were more courageous and responsible youths like you in the country, Jasper.”

Jasper waved his hand and smiled. “It’s nothing much. I’m just doing what I think is right.”

Patrick sighed and said, “These things that you consider as nothing much are almost impossible feats to many others.”

“Please don’t be too kind, Mr. Marshman, otherwise I won’t know to bring up my small request.” Jasper smiled.

Patrick had a great impression of Jasper by now, and he laughed and said, “Do tell. As long as it’s within my powers, then it won’t be an issue.”

Jasper replied, “What a coincidence, then. A word from you would actually solve this little issue of mine, Mr. Marshman.

“So basically, I have a distantly related sister. She…”

Jasper proceeded to tell him about Tiffany’s situation.

“She’s very hardworking and she loves to study. She’s talented as well, but her family conditions have been too harsh, and she has to take full responsibility for her brother’s expenses.

“What she lacks is an opportunity, which I was hoping Hoofmorn University could give to her.”

Patrick frowned slightly after he heard Jasper.

As a morally conscious individual, Patrick would never agree to anyone trying to enroll in his school through private connections. However, he could not help but consider this deeply since Jasper was the one who was requesting it.
