The company debriefed as usual, and participated in the power distribution meeting. This was the first time Jasper had tasted the true power of the company.
The smell of power was a little fleeting. However, it also made him more alert. Jasper was very clear about the reason why he had all these. To return the favor, he immediately proposed two plans in the company meeting. The first was to continue to increase the investment in Titatitan Star. The second was to deepen the cooperation with the Solar System, especially with Earth.
All matters were proceeding smoothly. Jasper's plan was also in line with the company's current strategic goals. A win-win situation, and no one objected.
After the group meeting, Jasper returned to his new office. He opened his Skylink, and saw dozens of unread messages, all congratulatory. It looked like some people were not pure spoiled brats, and had already known of the news. The CPD contract had not been officially announced, and if they had not been paying attention, they should not have known at this time.
Among the many messages, Jasper's eyes flashed. He saw a special invitation.
The invitation was from Laurel, a super beauty, 27 years old, stunning Lya Sphinx, Crown Business Club chairman. It could be said that when Jasper was with her in the past, they were classic negative and positive examples. Or rather, Laurel was Lya Sphinx's Ai Xiaolu.
The Crown Business Club was different from other circles. Circles were people with similar interests, and naturally came together to make friends. But the Crown Business Club's entry system was very strict. The first condition was that one had to be the heir to a large company. Moreover, it was not just family wealth, but personal assets. Only those who had reached a certain standard could enter. The club had a history of half a century, and had become one of the most famous and influential rich second generation clubs in the Milky Way Alliance. Ai Xiaolu was also a senior member, although she did not usually participate in activities.
Jasper had reluctantly stepped into the Crown Business Club. He had the qualifications, but his personal evaluation was very weak. Therefore, he had always been a marginal character. If the club had any activities, it would usually be notified by the club's secretary. Laurel had personally sent him an invitation. This was the first time.
If it had been before, he might have been very excited. If word got out, it would have been a very prestigious thing in the circle.
But now, although he was happy, he was not as excited as he had imagined.
Of course, he had to attend this banquet. It was an opportunity for him to network and expand his influence. It was also the root of the existence of the club.
This time, the club banquet was held in a manor villa on the outskirts of Lya Sphinx's capital. Jasper had just arrived at the main entrance when he was personally received by Laurel. This was something unimaginable in the past.
She was wearing a red gown, and her breasts were as white as snow.
Seeing Laurel's smiling face, although he had been prepared, Jasper's heart still skipped a beat. In the circle of debauchees, he was considered someone. But in this Crown Club, he had no status.
But now it was different. Jasper quickly adjusted his attitude, and took the initiative to greet her. "Good evening, Miss Laurel. You are still so beautiful."
"Just call me Laurel. Jasper, you're the star today," Laurel said warmly.
But Jasper was no longer a rookie. He would not get carried away just because of Laurel's words.
"No, I was just lucky. Laurel, stop teasing me." Jasper smiled bitterly. But Laurel was slightly taken aback. Clearly, she had not expected Jasper to have changed so much.
Just as he entered the villa, Jasper saw Gabre, and went up to him with a smile.
The two hugged, and then Jasper said, "How's it going?"
Gabre nodded. "It's not going as well as you. The CK Group and the Quark Financial Group are joint agents. That's a big step forward."
Gabre still felt like he was dreaming. Originally, the CK Group had been hopeless. But in the end, they had managed to hitch a ride. Not only had Gabre's position as CK's heir been stabilized, but the CK Group itself had also taken a leap forward.
And all this was because he had persevered at Little Lucky Star Tita Investment Company …
Laurel walked over with a slight smile. "I'll introduce a few friends to you in a bit. Don't run off and disappear."
Laurel valued Jasper very much. Although the news had not been officially announced, she had already seen the terms of the contract. Compared to the other agents, Jasper had received very generous terms. It was unbelievable. CPD had a monopoly on technology and materials. After all, the company could not get its hands on the super-gravity energy ore. Jasper, without the full support of the company, had pulled the chestnuts out of the fire. It could be said to be a business miracle. In the past, his eyes would have rolled to the top of his head. But now he was so calm. What had changed him?
He seemed like an interesting man!
Jasper and Gabre naturally would not object. Within the club, there were small circles. The two had been on the fringes, and so had grown close. Laurel's introduction meant that they were in touch with the core. This was also why everyone had joined.
Once Laurel had left, many came over to greet and chat. They chatted happily, trying to see if there were any opportunities for cooperation. The Crown Club's mission was to create all sorts of opportunities for everyone amidst the fun.
Gabre was very enthusiastic. Very quickly, he had started talking to some of the more enthusiastic ones. Jasper did not participate. Gabre wanted to show off.
After apologizing, Jasper decided to go out for a breath of fresh air. He did not know why, but he had liked such a pretentious atmosphere in the past. But after spending so much time with Yan Xiaosu, Ye Zisu, and the rest, he felt that it was nothing.
Just as he stepped out of the villa door, his expression changed slightly.
At the door was a very beautiful woman. In terms of looks, she could even be described as a city toppling beauty.
Their gazes met. They were both surprised and embarrassed.
"Jasper, let's break up …"
"Why!"
"I think we're not compatible. In terms of character, in every way …"
"I can change."
"How can a person's character be changed?"
Jasper was willing to do anything for her, but she was very insistent.
That was a few years ago, when Jasper was still a young student at Yinman International Aristocratic School. And she was the prettiest girl in his class. He had used all his romance to get her, but the good times never lasted long. Men always had to pay the price for their first love before they matured. The reason was that Jasper was a fallen youth who could not grow up, and she had to have a glorious future.
"Ingrid, long time no see."
Jasper smiled and extended his hand. He remembered that the last news he had of her was that she had gone to Aslan to further her career.
Ingrid blinked. "Jasper, long time no see. How have you been?" Ingrid was not surprised that Jasper was here. After all, his family had some foundation. It was just that being the other half of a rich playboy was not what she wanted. Her ambitions and goals were greater.
Jasper chuckled. "I'm alright. It's the same as before. I'm just messing around. What about you? Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"
Ingrid smiled. "Oh, I just came back from Aslan. My boyfriend and I agreed to meet at the door before we go in together. You're not messing around either. Where do you work? You look good."
"I'm alright. I'm in charge of the company's Tita Star project." Although a long time had passed, Jasper still felt a little heartache. After all, he had been serious.
"Tita Titan Star? Such a coincidence? My boyfriend is there too. Keke, great minds think alike? I'm back this time, and I intend to go there to take a look. "
At this moment, a luxurious maglev car stopped on the road not far away. A tall young man alighted from the car.
Ingrid's eyes flashed. "My boyfriend is here. If you don't mind, can we get to know each other?"
Subconsciously, Ingrid wanted to prove that she had made the right choice.
"Forget it. I'm not going to be a third wheel." Jasper said.
Ingrid's smile became even brighter. "We're all old classmates. Don't be so reserved."
This was also why Ingrid had abandoned Jasper. His background was not bad, but he was petty. Ingrid had determined that he would not be able to inherit the company. At most, he would just be a loafer waiting to die. That was why she had decisively abandoned him.
Ingrid's boyfriend first gave her a hug, and then his gaze quickly turned to Jasper with some surprise.
(The second watch has arrived. Recently, I've been sleeping at midnight. It's said that sleeping early and waking up early will make me fat. That's why I've decided to stick to it. I've been eating supper every night. Good night, my friends.)
