Chapter 232

Schulers’. Dawson was waiting for the two at the door.

When he saw Wendy’s car, he walked over and saw Wendy tiptoeing out of the car while giving him a
‘shh’ gesture.

“He fell asleep. He’s probably too exhausted during this period of time. When we talked on the phone,
he would often stay up until two or three in the morning. Let him sleep for a while,” Wendy said.

Dawson glanced at Jasper who was sleeping in the front passenger seat and nodded, saying with a
smile, “Okay then. I’ll ask someone to make dinner. Let him rest.”

When Jasper woke up, he found himself sitting in the car with a shirt placed on top of him.

He got out of the car and happened to see Wendy walking toward him.

“Let’s go, dinner is ready. My dad is waiting for you,” Wendy said.

Jasper did some stretches. “When did I fall asleep? Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I just wanted you to rest longer.”

Wendy said softly, “Your career may be important, but your health is your asset. Have you ever seen
anyone work as hard as you?”

When Jasper recalled himself chatting and drinking with Anna last night and that was why he had slept
late, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

At the dining area. Jasper said to Dawson, “I’m sorry, I overslept.”

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re still young and healthy,” Dawson said while pointing at the seat
from across the table. “I asked the cook to make something nutritious for you. Let’s eat first.”



Jasper drank the spiced lentil & butternut squash soup before asking, “How’s the real estate company
doing now?”

“It’s doing okay overall, but we bumped into a bit of a problem in one of our projects in Brac County.
Our subordinates can’t handle it. I simply don’t have the time to go. Maybe you can go and take a look
two days later once you’ve gotten the rest you need,” Dawson said.

Jasper nodded and agreed.

“How’s Harbor City? Wendy told me that everything went smoothly for you,” Dawson asked.

Jasper said with a chuckle, “Everything went very well indeed. It even exceeded my expectations. I
made five billion this time. I left part of it as an investment and I’ve brought back the rest of it. I don’t
have to worry about insufficient funds for now.”

Dawson and Wendy were both startled.

They knew that Jasper had gone to Harbor City to make some money but did not know the details
about it, let alone the fact that he had made five billion dollars.

“I heard that the dot-com bubble burst some time ago and caused quite a stir. The domestic stock
market was greatly affected too. Was this the opportunity you took?” Dawson asked.

At this time, the dot-com bubble had yet to have a great impact on the domestic stock market and thus
avoided an economic loss that might happen due to the burst. There was a slight impact, but not so
much compared to other places.

Moreover, the domestic news was still relatively restricted and not as developed as in the future, so
they did not know much about the things happening out there in the world.



Jasper said, “Yes, I predicted that the dom-com bubble would burst soon, so I went to Harbor City
ahead of schedule. Fortunately, I seized the opportunity this time. Otherwise, the rapid development of
JW Capital in the future would require a lot of funds. I guess you can say that I’ve earned all my capital
back.”

“I’m old now compared to young people like you.” Dawson laughed. “The money I made this entire
lifetime can’t even compare to the money you earned from just one investment.”

Jasper shook his head and said, “Venture investment is all about tricks. There are both benefits and
risks, and no one can say for sure if they’ll fail. However, one failure is enough to bury the benefits of
ten successes. It’s important for the industry to have a solid foundation.”

If someone else said these words, they would seem really pompous and arrogant.

However, Jasper proved with facts as not one of his investments had failed, hence the things he said
just made him seem genuinely dope.

Dawson was pleased to see Jasper keeping a humble and cautious attitude. He was not haughty and
arrogant just because he had achieved a win or two.

“I’ve contacted someone with regards to the entertainment company you mentioned earlier, but there’s
no rush in this. The seller is still considering it. You can go when you have the time.”

“Which company? What’s its name?” Jasper asked curiously.

“I think it’s called… Easy Media. It’s a company run by two brothers with the last name King,” Dawson
mulled it over and said.

Easy Media!

Jasper suddenly grew interested.



The company would later turn into one of the leading companies in the domestic film, television, and
entertainment industry in the future.

As for the King brothers, they would also become the uncrowned kings of the domestic entertainment
industry.

He was surprised to learn that they had plans to sell the company at this time.

“Uncle Dawson, can you confirm with the other party as soon as possible? I acquired an entertainment
company in Harbor City and I think the ones in Mainland need to keep up as soon as possible. I plan to
open up both territories and create a major entertainment group across the straits.”

Upon hearing what Jasper said, Dawson said seriously, “Okay, I’ll arrange a time for you as soon as
possible.”

After dinner, Wendy sat on the couch and propped her chin as she stared at Jasper who was carefully
reviewing JW Capital’s documents that had piled up during the time he was away.

Jack had taken care of many things for him, but there were still many major decisions that he needed
to make.

“You said you were going to rest for two days first, didn’t you?!” Wendy was a little displeased.

“Now you’re reading documents and two days later you’re going to the entertainment company for a
discussion. There’s simply no time for you to rest.”

Jasper shifted his attention away from the documents and smiled at Wendy. “I’ve made plans. We’ll
drive to the beach tomorrow to have a relaxing time together.”

“Really?” Wendy suddenly grew excited.



“Yes, we’ll go to Brac County. One of the projects in the real estate company has hit a wall. It’s not far
from there, about a two-hour car journey. We can go there and drop by while we’re at it. Besides, it’s
just next to the beach. There’s a beach, barbeque, and even a beer festival there,” Jasper said with a
smile.

Wendy said happily, “I’ll go and pack my luggage then.”

“We’ll just be there for a day or two. Two changes of clothes will do,” Jasper said.

“What do you know, big man? Every time a woman goes out, that’s like going to war. We mustn’t let our
guards down!” Wendy had already walked out the door when her words fell into his ears.

Jasper gave a chuckle, picked up his mobile phone, and booked a five-star hotel in Brac County.

“I want to book a suite, the most expensive one.

“Yes, one… The kind with only one bedroom.”

…

The next day, Jasper and Wendy returned to the city together.

After greeting his parents and getting nagged as usual, Jasper and Wendy drove to Brac County.

More than two hours later at Brac County’s Marriott Hotel, Jasper tossed the car keys to the valet and
accompanied Wendy into the hotel to check-in.

As soon as they got to the entrance, Jasper and Wendy heard a young man passing by while talking on
the phone. His voice was harsh and grating to the ears.

“Stop talking nonsense, damn it. JW Real Estate? Never heard of it. I, Mark Zion, am the king in Brac
County. If they want that piece of land, ask them to come and speak to me. If I’m in a good mood, then



I’ll talk to them. If not, I’ll kick them out of Brac County overnight!”
