Soon, the two were almost done talking.
Just when Jasper thought Mr. McNeal was about to end the call, virtual-novel.net heard Mr. McNeal say unexpectedly, “Jasper, there seems to be something you haven’t told me… I originally wanted to wait for you to tell me, but you never brought it up. Why? Can’t you trust me?”
Jasper was stunned. Apart from this, there was nothing else virtual-novel.net needed to ask Mr. McNeal for.
Mr. McNeal knew that Jasper really had no such plan after Jasper did not say anything.
So, virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “It’s about Wendy and Anna… Some time ago, when I was talking about the development of Harbor City with my subordinates, I happened to mention you. Then, my secretary told me that Wendy and Anna encountered some trouble in Harbor City… I can offer some help if you need me to. I can’t help much, but my words still hold some power.”
Although Mr. McNeal was being modest, Jasper knew that once Mr. McNeal brought it up, it would be as simple as a few words.
This was a great gift and a reward from Mr. McNeal to Jasper. Moreover, this also showed that Mr. McNeal had been silently paying attention to Jasper and the people around him.
Jasper’s heart was suddenly filled with emotion.
“Thank you, Mr. McNeal…”
“This is just a modest attempt. Considering our advancing age, the future of Somerland will rely on you, the younger generation. You have done a good job over the years, and I see it. I hope you can keep it up,” Mr. McNeal added.
“I will…” Jasper replied.
“That’s good. As a human being, you must never forget your original intention.”
Next, the two chatted for a while before finally hanging up.
After Jasper recomposed himself, virtual-novel.net began to think about what Mr. McNeal said.
Mr. McNeal’s last sentence was an encouragement and a warning. He was gently reminding Jasper not to let himself become a person who only cared about his interests. He should not become someone who only cared about his family but not his country.
However, this was not a problem for Jasper. He had a chance to be reincarnated, so how could his ambition only be on the accumulation of wealth?
Soon, Jasper’s attention was turned to another thing.
The last time Wendy called, virtual-novel.net only said virtual-novel.net encountered some trouble in Harbor City, but virtual-novel.net didn’t say anything specific…
Now, it seems that this matter is not that simple, or at least Wendy did not realize the seriousness behind the matter. Otherwise, Mr. McNeal would not be alerted if it’s just something small, and virtual-novel.net would not say that we can go to virtual-novel.net for help…
This means that the people who are causing trouble for Wendy and Anna this time must have a very strong background, and it will be very complicated…
It seems that I have to wrap up my business in Qari quickly and return to Somerland as soon as possible…
While hanging up the call, Jasper thought for a moment.
***
Over the next few days, they got busy preparing again.
Jasper contacted the Elvis family and asked them to help register the company. Since virtual-novel.net could not do it himself, virtual-novel.net had to ask his friends to help.
As for Rowan, virtual-novel.net had been paying close attention to information about the Kurts’ processing plant these days.
As the US military garrison got closer and closer, the securities market was in chaos. Companies with financial problems had begun to shift their fundraising focus away from the securities market. They were all trying to sell outside the market to get some funds to replenish themselves.
Of course, these messages would not appear in public channels, instead, they would circulate in some small circles.
Rowan had asked Assange to help virtual-novel.net obtain the online identities of some small circles before, and now, they came in handy.
Coupled with the help of the Elvis family and Abdul, Rowan was fairly well-informed in this regard.
