Life at the Top

Suddenly, the crowd surrounding them in hopes of overhearing some gossip was in an uproar upon hearing Jasper’s words.

It had long been public knowledge that the tallest building in the world would be constructed in Waterhoof City.

Many people also knew that the primary backer behind this tower was Jasper.

This was especially true for the people present at this forum conference. Most attendees were from the Teo Chamber of Commerce, excluding the few small fry from the Haddock Chamber of Commerce and the rest of the so-called experts like Perry.

Regardless of identity or stance, none of them were normal civilians.

So many things immediately came to their minds when they heard the news of Waterhoof City’s World Financial Center.

“Mr. Laine, I believe I heard you say something about an issue with the World Financial Tower that’s currently under construction? Would you mind elaborating on that?” A reporter mustered the courage to ask.

Jasper looked over to find that, coincidentally, it was again the reporter from South Somer Commercial Post.

“There’s nothing wrong with the World Financial Center, of course. The construction of the building and its design was approved by the Waterhoof City Design Institute, and was also reviewed in-depth by a team of national experts from Swallow Capital!”

“This is a large project, after all, and while it does mean the world to me, it’s also greatly valued by the government. There’s no way anything could go wrong with it.”

Jasper smiled and glanced at Alban, who had a dark look on his face. Then, Jasper continued, “But Mr. Ball had suddenly pulled out a so-called evaluative report just now and exaggeratedly claimed that there’s an issue with the World Financial Center’s design. This, I don’t understand. So perhaps we should let Mr. Ablan explain it in detail.”

After Jasper was done, everyone, regardless of background, turned to look at Alban intently.

Even a majority of businesspeople from Teo were not informed of this in advance, so they were greatly displeased to hear it from Jasper first.
