"I didn't expect to see you here. Keke, why don't I see your father? Is he alright? "
It was Tadinger Group's former important business partner, the Borg Group's CEO York. They had once been family friends, but they had parted ways. This fashionably dressed, even a little sexy, girl had almost become Jasper's wife. But because of Jasper's "debauchery," and the differences in the group's interests, the marriage had come to naught. Simply put, York would not let his daughter marry a piece of trash.
York was actually a little surprised to see Jasper here. The Maple Leaf Forest Club was not a place that could be entered with money alone. This was a club for the truly successful, and not a playground for the rich. Although he had heard that this kid was showing signs of turning over a new leaf, he was still a junior, and not qualified enough.
Jasper nodded politely. He was more cultured now. "My father is in good health, and is planning to go on a holiday. The family business has been handed over to my worthless son. Miss Lai Si, long time no see. You're as good as ever."
Back then, Jasper's abandonment in the debauchee circle had been a topic of conversation, although Jasper had not cared then.
"Keke, young people should learn with an open mind. There's a salon on the 17th floor. Do you want me to introduce you to some seniors? They're all earth-shattering characters. You know, I love to guide juniors." York had not expected that the kid who had not dared to raise his head at him years ago would speak so harshly now.
"I'm waiting for my girlfriend, so I won't disturb you. Lai Si, you're not young anymore. Don't hang out with those male models all day, lest your uncle worry." Jasper said warmly.
Lai Si rolled her eyes at Jasper. "Mind your own business. Your taste is getting worse. This fatty is your new follower. Can't you find someone more human?"
"Lai Si, be polite. Mr. Yan is my important guest."
"Guest? This guy has a big head and a short neck. One look and you can tell he's a peddler. I thought you'd really improved. Rumors really can't be trusted," Lai Si said sarcastically.
Yan Xiaosu rubbed his nose. This girl had a sharp eye. Speaking of which, Little Lucky Star had indeed started out as a peddler.
"Jasper, young people shouldn't get complacent just because they've achieved some results. You have to be humble, or you'll stumble." York's smile was rather sanctimonious.
"Old man, can you stop pretending? And you, peach blossom eyes and slender waist, are you trying so hard to seduce me? I won't accept you even if you throw yourself at me."
Yan Xiaosu was not so courteous. Who cared where he was? Sometimes, a kind person would be bullied, and a kind horse would be ridden.
York was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. "Men!"
The service of Maple Leaf Forest was really good. Immediately, a staff member came over. Obviously, he also knew York.
York was so angry that his hands were trembling. "Throw this b * stard out. Since when has your club become so chaotic? How can you let such a random person in?!"
A few staff members immediately surrounded him. One look at Yan Xiaosu and they knew that he was not from Lya Sphinx. Jasper and the rest knew that he was a member, but his rank was not high enough. And this fatty looked like a follower.
"Mr Jasper, would it be possible to ask your underling to wait in the lounge, to avoid any misunderstandings?" the staff member said rather politely.
Jasper was angry as well. This was his territory, and he had lost so much face before he had even shown off. If he did not make things right, how could he continue to live?
His wastrel temperament was surging. At this moment, a crisp laugh interrupted Jasper.
Laurel had arrived.
"Isn't this Mr York? What's the matter? Why are you so angry?" Laurel was like a gust of fragrant wind. She was on a completely different level.
"Laurel, you're here." Jasper smiled as he held Laurel's hand. "These snobbish people."
Lai Si covered her mouth in shock. Laurel was a goddess level character in the circle. And Jasper … how was that possible?
"Mr York, I think you might have misunderstood. Mr Yan Xiaosu is an important guest of Mr Sam Green. Your impoliteness will tarnish Lya Sphinx's image. If I were you, wouldn't I apologize at this time?" Laurel was still smiling.
Hearing Sam Green, York was taken aback as well. Actually, they had all heard the news. Only, no one had known that Sam Green had come for this unremarkable fatty before him.
"Keke, so it's a misunderstanding. Lai Si, let's go."
But Laurel laughed. "Mr York, if you leave just like that, how can I answer to our esteemed guest? Lai Si is young and ignorant, but you shouldn't be ignorant, right?"
The last sentence showed Queen Laurel's dominance. Yan Xiaosu smiled but did not speak. He had purposely blown it up, because he wanted to see the other's reaction.
York's face froze. Clearly, many thoughts had flashed through his mind. But very quickly, he smiled. "Mr Yan, I'm so sorry. My daughter is young and ignorant …"
"Keke, Mr York, she's old enough to be a mother. But I'm a man who can tolerate the worst. I'll let it go this time. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. What a waste of my precious time."
York was fuming. Were these three rascals trying to overturn the heavens? He was about to fly into a rage, but Sam Green's granddaughter had come out … His angry expression immediately turned into a radiant chrysanthemum.
Sam Green was watching the scene from the conference room. His son, Little Green, was frowning.
Sam Green smiled slightly. "You seem displeased?"
"Father, this person is young and arrogant, full of the air of a local ruffian. Let's not talk about whether he's qualified to discuss business with us. Just his manners are lacking." Little Green said mildly. In these few years at the helm of the family, his aura had grown. He did not approve of his father sending his daughter down to save the day.
Old Sam smiled. "How's Laurel?"
Little Green was quiet for a moment. "Steady and steady, with a unique eye. She's the cream of our Lya Sphinx's younger generation."
"Then why didn't you pay attention to her reaction?" Sam Green said mildly.
Little Green was deep in thought. Laurel was the leader of the younger generation, and had seen the world. Logically speaking, someone like Yan Xiaosu should be the last person she would want to see. But on the contrary, Laurel's aggressiveness had completely gone against her usual principles.
"Father, do you mean that this Yan Xiaosu's backing is big enough?"
"Oh you. Don't underestimate the youngsters these days. To make Laurel like this, ability alone is not enough. It shows that Laurel trusts this little fatty's character, and is willing to offend people for him. That is to say, business with this fatty is reliable." Sam Green lightly rapped the table.
Little Green did not speak. He was also a smart man, but the older, the wiser.
If the Tita Star project was to grow, it had to pass through the Sam Green family. That was why Laurel had brought Yan Xiaosu and Jasper to discuss. As for success or failure, she had no confidence.
She had been a little worried that what had happened downstairs would leave a bad impression on Sam Green. But on the contrary, Sam Green was very cordial, and Yan Xiaosu had no "tricks" in the entire negotiation. Whatever he wanted to do, he was straight to the point.
Actually, this was art. Against a sly old fox, sometimes being open and honest was better than any trick.
That was why Tyrant Su was a smart man.
