“Get ’em boss! You must defeat Aslan!” Yan Xiaosu cheered. “Love is love, and work is work. A man must make himself!”
In the past, Yan Xiaosu was the senior on the playing field. But now Tyrant Su was reborn. Although Wang Zheng’s situation was a little special, focusing on oneself was undoubtedly still the most important thing.
And it was not that Wang Zheng did not understand this. But humans were not robots. They needed to vent once in a while. After talking it over with Yan Xiaosu for a while, he felt much better.
After hanging up, Yan Xiaosu took another call. Clearly, Yan Xiaosu was very clear as to his own future.
Few had a number on this line. If it was not an important partner, it was an important customer.
The one calling was Jasper. It was something important. He would not usually call on this line even if Yan Xiaosu’s other line was engaged.
“Brother Yan. As expected, Mr. Sam Green has agreed to meet with us. Personally.”
As expected, Jasper had heavy-duty news to convey. Jasper’s voice was emotional. The other party was Sam Green!
An elder and giant of Lya Sphinx’s financial world, who had made his name through an accurate and ruthless way of seeing things. A godfather figure in the business world. His comment at breakfast could cause ripples in the Lya Sphinx stock market. This was power that even the president did not possess.
Yan Xiaosu had been in Lya Sphinx recently, hoping to find a connection to work with Sam Green, and bring in even more profits. Tita Star’s expansion could not depend on the Hail Cloud Alliance alone. In comparison, Jasper’s side was the one with the potential of greater cooperation. But Jasper was not enough. They needed to call on those with even greater ability.
Jasper had thought that this was a hopeless task, but Yan Xiaosu had carved out a path with nothing else but his boldness, affirming that nothing in this world was impossible, if one only dared! And this was not baseless. When considered overall, there were still chances, but it depended if one wanted to try. At least one could begin relations with other investing firms. Success or failure was unimportant. The important thing was to get the word out and build impressions. If there were more opportunities in the future, then it would be easy to work together.
A puny thing like rules was not at all useful to Tyrant Su. He was not like those “aristocrats.” He was not afraid of embarrassment. Face was worth nothing to him.
Jasper was already a follower, and was more convinced than ever of Yan Xiaosu. He was invincible! TItatitan Star had already been awesome – one had to be lucky sometime. But this was Lya Sphinx!
He had hunted down a vice-chairman from one of Sam Green’s investment firms. After a long talk, he had finally consented to put the proposal on Sam Green’s desk. There were no guarantees whether Sam Green would look at it, or be interested.
And then Jasper had received a call from the vice-chairman.
The vice-chairman looked like he had seen a ghost: “Mr. Sam Green wants to meet Yan Xiaosu personally!”
A personal meeting!
The vice-chairman was shocked. One had to know that Sam Green was 73 years old this year. In the last few years, he had already started to let go of many things. Besides the core business that he still managed, he had left the rest up to professional managers, or to capable descendants to handle.
Although this matter of Jasper’s was within the scope of Sam Green’s core business, and had some potential, the investment amount should not have caught Sam Green’s eye. Scrawling a reply signature or marking it “seen” would have been enough for his subordinates to take care of the rest.
But this time, Sam Green would personally take a hand.
This was overkill, much like firing a cannon at a mosquito.
Yan Xiaosu smiled and calmly asked, “Compose yourself. Time? Place?”
To be able to meet Sam Green in person was out of his expectations, and he was a little shaken up. But the more things were so, the calmer he was. He had been through winds and rains. From a run-of-the-mill second generation business owner to where he was today, he had to suffer so many eye-rolls, and also been lifted up and exhorted. He had even been through a war. Yan Xiaosu’s attitude had been honed under a thousand hammers. He dared not call it impervious, but save armageddon, he could maintain his composure.
Jasper exhaled. Wow. Brother Yan was Brother Yan. “Maple Leaf Forest Club. Tomorrow night.”
“Very well. Help me with the preparations.”
Maple Leaf Forest Club. Any place that Sam Green could choose as a meeting place must be uncommon indeed. Clearly somewhere that ordinary people could not enter.
Jasper nodded. “Already on it.”
As the elite club of Lya Sphinx, Maple Leaf Forest was a 95-story tower in the grandest financial capital street in Lya Sphinx. A skyscraper over 511 meters high. Flanking it were the Lya Sphinx stock exchange and the Best Bank’s building.
This was the financial heart of Lya Sphinx.
At this moment, a grand convoy of 12 cars rolled up to the financial street, stopping at the front door of the Maple Leaf building.
An hour earlier, the Maple Leaf Club personnel were already waiting. And 10 minutes before the appointed team, traffic control began in the area.
“They’ve finally come. Do you know who it is?”
“Look at the car plate. Looks like the Green family…”
“See that black elongated Orwell Dragon? It’s Mr. Sam Green’s personal ride!”
There were gasps all around. Was Mr. Sam Green personally coming to the Maple Leaf Club?
A light gleamed in all the members of the Maple Leaf Forest Club. Everyone knew that Sam Green was an S-rank member of the Maple Leaf Forest Club. A few years back, Sam Green would still visit the club, and entertain some juniors. He would listen to interesting proposals, then generously invest.
But in the last two years, Mr. Sam Green had spent most of his time in his private manor.
Outside of the Green family, few had seen this Lya Sphinx legend in a long time.
After a moment, this legend walked out from his personal ride, under everyone’s gazes.
It was really him!
The entire Maple Leaf building had turned out to welcome his arrival.
“Mr. Sam Green, this way please. The top floor you requested has been prepared.”
The chairman of the club personally met him, his stance like a servant. He did not even introduce his own name or status.
Only after this legend walked into the building and entered the custom elevator did the financial street return to normal. The convoy rolled into the building’s carpark. The Green family’s personal security and the club security worked together to provide continued security.
The moment Yan Xiaosu and Jasper reached the Maple Leaf building, two security guards met them, only courteously inviting them into the building after both had displayed identification. Then they spoke softly, “There are special circumstances today, and security is extremely tight. Please forgive the inconvenience.”
Jasper nodded to show his understanding.
Could they not know? Sam Green had come! And they were about to meet this legend.
Inside, neither said a word, but headed straight for the elevator.
At this moment, someone called Jasper’s name softly. “Jasper, a moment.”
The two of them halted.
A few middle-aged men came over smiling, with a young woman curiously sizing them up.
