As long as one was capable, Jasper would be more than happy to cooperate with them.
And now as he observed Wang Zheng, Jasper had a stronger first impression of him than that of Yan Xiaosu. He could not quite put it into words, but Jasper decided to trust his intuition, just in case… Heh, if he wanted to become exceptional, he could not be afraid of risk. A carp with a fear of heights would never be able to pass the Mythic Dragon Gates. Ever since he arrived at Tita Star, Jasper always aspired to do something significant. Living his messy day-to-day life was not thrilling enough for him.
Gabre laughed as well. He had yet to utter a word due to his hesitation regarding the matter. He was in a rather precarious situation now. Who could truly understand the stress he faced when tempted with such a promising future ahead?
Wang Zheng returned to the surface of the pool and took two laps around it. He felt like he had let go of much of the burden on his body. He was just about to continue, but was interrupted by the murmurs of the girls around him.
“Wow, his body is great! Look at that inverted triangle.”
“Yeah! His merman like silhouette is so sexy, who is he?
“I don’t recognize him, shall we approach him?”
“No way, why not you go?”
Wang Zheng was speechless. He kept his gaze down and was not able to swim any longer. His skin was not thick enough for this yet.
He emerged from the pool and approached a deck chair at the side of the pool. As he reached for a bath towel to wipe himself dry, a voice rang out from behind him: “Sir, sorry to bother you but that’s our seat. Please don’t touch anything.”
He turned around and came face to face with a tall and masculine man. He had a bikini babe wrapped around each arm, and his gaze was rather provoking. There were clearly many other empty deck chairs around, but he intentionally wanted to fight with Wang Zheng over this one.
Wang Zheng simply smiled and changed his spot.
The man rushed towards two pretty girls and remarked: “He’s definitely here to try his luck at finding a mistress.”
People usually get irritated when they meet someone else on the street wearing the same outfit as them. Similarly, the man loathed when someone had the same figure as him. He worked hard at the gym to build up his muscles, yet was so easily outmatched by some other guy. The key problem here was that the other guy did not even intend to compete with him in the first place.
Yan Xiaosu happened to watch this scene occur as he was scanning the area. He patted the prettiest girl he could find near him, “Let’s go have a chat with them.”
The girl blushed and nodded before tagging along with Yan Xiaosu. Yan Xiaosu directly approached the man’s position, “Hey, little brat, this place is mine.”
With a sweep of the floor, the man’s face turned red. This was an exact copy of what he just did. He wanted to flare up, but…
This was Yan Xiaosu! Everyone in Tita Titan’s business circle knew of him. Furthemore, it was common knowledge that offending Yan Xiaosu would be akin to giving up on the burgeoning Tita Titan.
“Yes, yes, I’ll leave right away.”
“Pretty girl, any interest in staying behind for a chat or two?”
Since Yan Xiaosu had already decided to intervene, he was not going to let the man off the hook so easily. He smiled at the two bikini babes.
The two bikini babes were humbled by such an offer and rigorously nodded their heads. As for the man that they were just sticking to – well too bad for him.
Yan Xiaosu turned around after flaunting his might. He eagerly ran towards Wang Zheng’s side, “Boss, your seat is ready now, please take a seat.”
Wang Zheng was speechless. Getting into quarrels was far beneath him, but this happened to be Yan Xiaosu’s favourite pastime. He exasperatedly shook his head.
The people along the side of the pool who were watching this scene were all stunned. They all assumed that the main character of this party was Yan Xiaosu, but it seemed like the true main character was this person instead.
The man’s face turned even paler. As he turned around, he noticed that Jasper and Gabre were looking at him with unimpressed faces. This disheartened him even more.
Jasper walked over, “Borg, what’s so great about you? I’ll give you ten seconds to vanish from here.” In the business world things were even harsher, especially when it came to people like Borg who were not part of the inner circle.
Fate was always a cruel thing. One careless move could lead to losing the entire game.
The villa had a professional massage parlor. Jasper and Gabre had settled their matters and wanted to join in the fun as well. The pretty girls that were accompanying them proceeded towards the nail salon beside the massage parlor to get their nails done instead.
After the massage, the few of them lounged comfortably on the sofas in the living room. They all knew that the following negotiations would determine their future paths.
Jasper was first to speak. He announced his intentions to take a more proactive attitude towards his involvement in Tita Titan Star, “… all in all, I’m wagering all of my reputation on this. Brother Zheng, Brother Yan, the rest is up to you.”
Gabre opened his mouth with the intention to say something, but there was something in his heart stopping him from doing so. This meant that he was now wrapped up in the situation. If they were to fail, he would no longer be able to stage any sort of comeback anymore.
Yan Xiaosu laughed, “Jasper, with such an all-in move, aren’t you afraid of the project may become a bust?”
“Fortune is created from dire situations. Without any form of sacrifice, how can dreams be achieved?” Jasper stroked his nose as he looked towards Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng smiled back. He understood that Yan Xiaosu had a knack for doing business. He did not wish to interfere, for this was something that Yan Xiaosu was pursuing after all. Whether or not they succeed or fail, Yan Xiaosu had his support. After all, Yan Xiaosu and the others were supportive of him in other matters as well.
He chose not to respond. After all it would be best for Yan Xiaosu to settle the matter. This meant that he had time to zone out for half a day’s worth of time. This was really relaxing and the surrounding beauties around him were rather pleasing to look it as well. It was a pity that none of them caught Wang Zheng’s eye.
This was something that Xiaosu probably had the best understanding about. Having seen the vast ocean, the rivers seem like nothing in comparison to Wang Zheng. However his standards were far too high now and it would be prohibitively difficult to meet them. It would be best if Wang Zheng was more flexible when it came to this matter.
There was a love guru who once said this – Every woman is like a book. They all have their different stories, and you should be someone who enjoys reading these books.
No matter what, Yan Xiaosu did not intend to only read one book for the rest of his life.
All of a sudden, Wang Zheng’s Skylink rang out. He originally wanted to hang up, but he noticed that it was in fact classmate Ai Xiaolu. Wang Zheng smiled and accepted the call.
“Wang Zheng! Are you alright? You’d better not let my investment become all for naught.” Ai Xiaolu’s voice seemed calm, but she was talking way faster than she normally did.
Wang Zheng smilled. He knew that Xiaolu was genuinely concerned about him, but she never expressed her true emotions.
“Classmate Ai Xiaolu, if you are worried about me just let me know. There won’t be any misunderstanding.” Wang Zheng teased. He was in a good mood after all.
“Scram. You’re clearly well enough since you even dare to flirt with your senior. Poor Snow was worried to death for nothing.
“I’m fine besides a few minor injuries. After soaking in the pod for three days, I’m now as energetic as ever.” Wang Zheng replied. “The Earth Grade expert was definitely a cut above the rest, but I’ve learned a lot due to that as well.”
“Oh god, how did you even manage to live? Your opponent was Heaven after all!” Ai Xiaolu exclaimed in reply. She originally thought the people of Tita would deal with it, and never expected Wang Zheng to personally intervene.
Wang Zheng did not notice the fact that upon hearing Ai Xiaolu’s reply from the Skylink, Jasper and Gabre’s faces had lit up in interest.
“Should have been him alright. I wouldn’t know have known how he looked like though.”
Ai Xiaolu was clearly skeptical of Wang Zheng’s assertion that he only suffered minor injuries, “Did you really get hurt so little? You don’t need to lie in order to hide your embarrassment from me. How is it possible to escape with such little damage? How did you do it? How many people did you mobilize?”
Wang Zheng laugh, “Haha, I have many brothers-in-arms as backup, so I’m never afraid of a one-versus-one.
He indeed had many people to rely on. When he and his allies shared the same goals, teamwork made the dream work.
“Liar!”
Wang Zheng noticed the difference in Jasper and Gabre at this moment. He smiled as he cut his Skylink conversation short:””Alright, go enjoy the rest of your vacation. I still have some stuff to settle here, so we’ll talk more once I get back…”
