“Go outside with your mom. I’ll come out in a bit.”It was just like when Jasper was young. As far as Charlie was concerned, Jasper would always be a little boy who could not solve adult situations like this.Jasper shook his head. There was no way he would leave.“Did you bring the money?” Jasper asked Wendy.When Jasper asked Wendy to come pick him up at the airport, Jasper had also told her to take some money out.Wendy nodded and pulled out ten bundles of brand new hundred-dollar bills.While everyone in the house was still stunned by Wendy’s ethereal beauty, they saw her taking the money out.Everyone’s eyes shone as they looked at Jasper in disbelief.Jasper’s family was known for being poor, and while Charlie had done everything he could to buy a house in town, doing so had only made their family’s situation worse.Now there were bundles of hundred-dollar bills. Where did Jasper get the money?“This is 20,000. I’m paying the 10,000 I owe your family back two-fold!”Ja

Jasper was not loud when he spoke, but his aura had stunned the crowd.Jasper, despite his youth and the fact that he was still one of the younger ones in his generation, had managed to silence the elders in the garden with his words.Jasper was about to leave, but Bard was not having any of it.“Bullsh*t. You really think you’re some big shot now, huh? Who are you acting for? Do you need me to beat you up before you listen?” Bard scoffed as he glared at Jasper enviously.Having been held back one too many times, the hot-tempered Charlie had yet the chance to let out the flames of fury within him.After feeling pleased with his son’s outstanding performance just now, he now roared at Bard’s threat. “I dare you to say that again, you b*stard!”Regardless of how much of a ruffian Bard was, he still cowered before Charlie who was known for his hot temper. Hiding behind his parents, he yelled, “Don’t look so proud of yourself. Aren’t you living off the money your son got from selling

Jasper replied calmly, “Sure, if that’s what you wish.”Elated, Jasper’s aunt began to praise him. “Look at you, so forgiving, surely befitting of a man who has made it in the city. You’ve got to learn more from Jasper, Bard.”“Yes, of course. I’ll definitely follow him so I can learn more.” Bard smiled as he nodded and bowed.Jasper frowned. “Follow me? What are you trying to say?”His aunt quickly replied, “Bard is your cousin, Jasper. Now that you’ve established your own company, you need to have someone on your side to look after it, don’t you? I think Bard’s a perfect choice.”Bard patted his chest. “Don’t worry, Jasper. I’ll make sure to keep a close eye on your company. I’ll make sure not even a burglar gets in.”Jasper finally understood what this family’s intentions were and replied, “My company isn’t hiring, nor do I need you to go and watch over it.”Bard was an idler, and there was nothing Bard had that he could be proud of—from his educational background to his ab

Sally went to make dinner with a happy chuckle.Wendy turned to Jasper with a proud look.Jasper chuckled. ‘This woman’s getting cuter by the second.’…Dinner consisted of chicken, a few vegetable dishes, and pork rib soup.Jasper and his family sat around the dining table. The atmosphere had lightened greatly and Wendy was no longer as nervous as she was before. In fact, she began to actively lighten the mood.Charlie spoke more now that Wendy was here, and he would ask her some questions from time to time.The lady was smart, for she did not tell the whole story. Instead, she merely said that her family did business and she worked for Commercial Bank.As far as ordinary families were concerned, a lady with such a family background was the most suitable for their son.Not to mention that Wendy was a beautiful lady, and both Sally and Charlie were extremely pleased with her.Jasper drank with Charlie and said, “Dad, these years… I’ve troubled the two of you too much.”Charl

Jasper frowned at Hudson’s words.According to what he remembered, Sena should currently be in a critical period of preparation for listing.Sena had indeed developed a communication software, and they had indeed caused a great amount of trouble for Terizone.Yet that was something that happened in 2004.The butterfly’s wings had begun to flutter, yet Sena was now entering the communications industry two whole years before it should have. Not to mention that they were developing it by themselves.Sena was currently in full swing and would turn into one of the country’s top three networking sites along with Netsy and Soha.The most important concept for internet users right now was that of web portals. Since its main function now was to read up on the latest news, it was far less complex than it would be in later years.Terizone and Sena were of completely different sizes right now. All it took was one small move from Sena and Terizone would lose one line of defense.Which was w

Jasper was woken up by Hudson’s phone call at six o’clock in the morning.“We’ve just gotten wind that Sena’s beta communication software, Sena Chat, will be officially released tomorrow morning.”Hudson's tone was anxious, for the release of Sena Chat would definitely deal a fatal blow to Terizone right now!“I’ll be right over!”Hanging up the phone, Jasper booked a ticket and rushed to Cavern City as fast as he could.Meanwhile, Sena Chat was officially released on the market.Sena's sudden launch of the software, Sena Chat, had resulted in a frenzy within the domestic internet circle.Disregarding its portal sites and its gaming aspect, instant messaging had the most users in the internet industry within the country right now, for it was also the easiest to draw users in at alarming rates.It was just that this form of business did not have overwhelming web portals like Sena and Soha.KK might have the most users within the country, but no one seemed to be taking Terizone

Sena was evidently at a greater advantage than Terizone right now.Not to mention that the other party was still one of the three major domestic web portals. Once they did everything they could to push their chatting software into the market, it would be an easy feat to gather more users.All they had to do was advertise it on their web portal.Therefore, merely giving Hudson and the rest ideas was not enough.What Terizone needed the most now was users. The purpose of the new features was only to increase their attractiveness and customer stickiness. However, it could also easily be plagiarized by their competitors.What Terizone needed the most now was to pull in a large wave of users in the shortest amount of time.Jasper already had a plan to carry that out, but he had to be the one to do it personally.If he succeeded, it would function as a figurative thruster for the carriage Terizone was, and it was something Hudson and the rest could not do now.That night, Terizone’s

“If one billion isn’t enough, then two billion, three billion!“There is not a single person in the domestic internet industry who has more money than me.”While Jasper's ‘two billion’ and ‘three billion’ were mostly exaggerations, newfound confidence had grown in the five’s hearts with Jasper's words.Hudson waved his hand. “Everyone heard what Mr. Laine said, right? Stop hesitating and get to work!”“Alright. Cameron, Logan, and I will take charge of building the webpage’s content as fast as we can, while Zaine and Daniel, you two endure a little more and finalize the new features we made last night. We’ll upload the updated software before noon today!”…After a while of busying and under the expectant gazes of everyone, Hudson released the newest version of KK at 12 o’clock sharp!This update had caused an uproar within the market!It now seemed to everyone that Terizone was long prepared for Sena’s aggressive attack, for they managed to upload a new version of KK the next
