Life at The Top
Chapter 2117

The thief covered his head with both hands as Celine kicked him. He kept shouting and begging for mercy.

"Stop! Stop it! If you keep kicking, you'll kill me!"

Celine got angry and kicked him in the leg again, scolding bitterly, "You don't even behave like a human, yet you're scared of losing your life?"

While Celine was venting her anger, she did not notice Jasper standing beside her. Jasper looked at Celine's shrewish appearance, never expecting her to have such a violent side.

"Ahem," Jasper pretended to cough and caught Celine's attention.

When she noticed that the person who helped her subdue the thief was Jasper, she could not hold back her surprise.

"Jasper! It's you?! Why are you in Harbor City?"

Jasper shook his head in astounding and said, "Miss Maynard, did you just notice me?"

Celine was a little embarrassed. She glared at the thief and complained, "It's all his fault! Of all the things he could steal, and he stole my stuff! But it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, my latest bag would have ended up on the black market..."

Jasper shook his head with a smile and could not stop himself from teasing her, "With your financial resources, I don't think you'll have a problem buying hundreds of such bags. However, this thief is indeed a piece of work. Why don't we send him to the police?" Celine nodded, "Sure..."

Celine then took out her phone and called the police. Soon, the police arrived. They then handcuffed the thief and took him away.

After that, Celine smiled and suggested, "Thank God you're here today. How about I buy you lunch?"

Jasper touched his stomach and said with some embarrassment, "I just ate at a friend's house, but if you haven't eaten yet, I can accompany you."

"That's fine..." Celine nodded while beaming.

The two found a place for afternoon tea near Nine Dragon Commercial Street and sat down.

Jasper asked with a smile, "Why are you here in Harbor City this time?"

Celine said, "I met the Brown siblings back then, and now am discussing a partnership with them."

"Oh, what partnership?" Jasper asked curiously.

Celine did not shy away from the question and said directly, "Actually, this is not a secret. You can see that Harbor City has returned to the sovereignty of the mainland for several years, but so far, there is no direct road to the mainland. My family has always been concerned about the situation in the mainland, and it just so happens that our next plan with the Browns is to develop Cavern City. I am very optimistic about the economic development of Cavern City in the next 20 years... As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must build a road first. If we at least open up the highway between Harbor City and Cavern City, this will also provide a lot of convenience for the future, right?"

Jasper listened to what Celine said and nodded in agreement.

"Yes! In fact, I am also very optimistic about the development of Cavern City in the next ten or twenty years. If you build the road now, it will indeed be something to look forward to."

After receiving Jasper's approval, the smile on Celine's face became even brighter. Then, she asked curiously. "By the way, what are you doing in Harbor City this time?"

Jasper smiled and said, "What else would I be doing here? I'm here because JW Group is developing the information industry in Harbor City. I encountered a little obstacle recently, but it's not that serious. I believe it will be solved soon," Jasper said lightly. However, Celine picked up some useful business information from Jasper's words. With what she knew about Jasper, whenever this guy had any new plans, if the people around him could seize the opportunity, then they could all get a share of the cake. So, how could she miss this opportunity?

Celine thought for a while and said, "Somerland's economy is just rising, and it's just like a baby in its cradle. It seems excessive to develop the information industry so fast right now. But if you take a long-term view, it is prescient. I firmly believe that in the future, we will be able to seize the opportunity in the information field!"

Speaking of which, she paused again and said with some hatred, "At present, the global information industry is monopolized by the Murdoch family and the Granger family, which is also the main reason for the blockade of domestic information. That's why those well- known people are frequently active in the eyes of the public and dare to spout nonsense so freely!"

Celine could be sure that if Somerland's own information industry developed, every citizen would have the opportunity to directly understand the latest developments in the world in the future. If that was the case, those well-known people who Quintus Hoch led might lose their jobs...

Jasper smiled and nodded. "Yes, I think so too."

However, another main reason he started in Harbor City was to strengthen the cooperation between Harbor City and the mainland of Somerland.
