Chapter 833 Their Life
"I'm sorry. I need to let the Chief know. Please wait a moment."
"Let me call Jasper," Sean said. He took out the phone that Jasper had given him before and dialed a number.
"Jasper, it's me, Sean. Do you know what happened?" Sean asked in a deep voice.
"Yes," Jasper replied. He had the God's Eyes and his men had been following Sean 24 hours a day, so naturally, he was very clear about what had happened.
"I appreciate your help, but this is enough. You don't have to arrange the rest for me. I'll go by myself," Sean said firmly.
"It's too dangerous for you to be in D Country."
"The most dangerous place is the place they'll least expect me to be. I have plenty of my men hidden in D Country."
Jasper was silent for three seconds and said in a low voice, "I will instruct someone to give you ten million dollars. If you run into any danger, contact me. My men will stay in D Country for the time being."
"Okay," Sean smiled. "Thank you. Money is not necessary. I still have 1 billion or so myself. Just find a discreet place to let me off later."
"Are you sure you don't need my men to protect you? Larry won't let you off so easily."
"From now on, I'll make it impossible for him to find me. You don't have to intervene in my affairs. That's all. I'll be hanging up now. Just tell your men to drop me off on the roadside. Lastly, I wish you and Stella eternal happiness," Sean smiled, his gaze showed the deep pain he harbored. It was as if he had absorbed all the colors of life, and all that was left was darkness.
"Okay," Jasper did not push him any further. He made a call and asked his men to drop Sean off.
Stella looked at him worriedly as she waited for Jasper to speak.
He looked at Stella and sighed softly. "Sean wants to do things his own way. He doesn't want us to get involved."
"I'm worried that he'll be in danger, and I'm also worried that he'll hurt Eli. This is frustrating."
"It's Eli who told Larry about his whereabouts. It's Eli who harmed him first. We'll make things even more complicated if we get involved. Unless if Eli asks for help, we shouldn't act, or things will get out of control," Jasper reminded.
She understood that she had no right to intervene in other people's affairs and there was no way to change them. Perhaps, they would be better off as strangers. She just hoped they wouldn't hurt each other.
She sent a text message to Eli. "You still have me. Call me whenever you want and I'll come to you."
Three minutes later, she received a text message from Eli, "Thank you."
Jasper put his arm around Stella's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
He didn't say anything, but there was a warm feeling in her heart. She was grateful to have Jasper by her side.
Days passed by and life was mundane, busy yet fulfilling.
In three years, Stella had established Greene New Town, Spring Residence, Waterbay Residence, Ancient Star Residence, and Greenery Residence. Each district had 28 buildings, and each of them was 25 stories tall. Each floor had two to four families, and the soldiers' families had been given the right to pick their units.
In addition, she also built a school, a hospital, a shopping mall, and restaurants. Each sector had over a thousand job placements. Most of the teachers, doctors, chefs, and waiters were the family members of the soldiers. Besides these, Stella also built an old folks' home.
While the construction went on, Jasper became the focus of the army's morale. Every soldier was proud to be under Jasper's command. He even became the idol of many young teens and appeared in many international newspapers.
Critics all over the world had different views on the matter. Some felt like the stars had aligned for Jasper and he was a successful politician and strategist. However, there were also some people that felt Jasper would not have achieved so much without his family's wealth. They felt like he was encouraging leaders to use money to earn the people's hearts. There were even those who thought that Jasper was aiming to become the next President and that he was an extremely ambitious man.
However, no matter what kind of comments other people made, they did not affect Jasper's family at all.
Milton Corp was not just rich, they were extremely wealthy. They wanted to do as much as they could to help others in the limited time they had.
Their first target group were the brave, righteous, and hot-blooded soldiers.
Soldiers were tasked to protect the country. It was inevitable for them to miss their families. The establishment of the residential areas at the base was a way to take care of their families and make sure the soldiers weren't worried about their families while they were on the front lines. It was also to instill patriotism in the fellow countrymen, to have hope that the people could focus less on riches and instead, have real goals to work for.
Furthermore, it was also to encourage other rich people to join in and contribute to their country.
The Parliament had also officially agreed to establish Southern Bay, which covered an area of 1620 square kilometers. It was affiliated with the country and was a special administrative area. For this, Stella was named the regional head.
The administrative area consisted of different departments, such as military, finance, arts, environment, land development, city planning and so on.
This year, Stella decided to establish Snowie Town. This area was built by the beach and was open for sale to the public. The condition to stay there was to contribute ten million dollars to the cause. Each house was sold for a hundred thousand dollars per square meter.
Every Tuesday, the Special Administrative would hold a meeting where each department would report their progress.
"In addition to the sponsors from last week, the total profits so far is estimated to be 290.56 million dollars. I have sent the detailed report to your e-mail," the Chief of the Finance department reported.
Stella wrote it down on her notebook.
"We have been promoting Snowie Town for the past three weeks. At present, there have been several hundred inquiries. We have already acquired 6 sponsors and 26 others who are interested in it. They've suggested allocating security guards so that the people can enjoy their independent space safely," the Director of the Marketing department said.
"We are currently still in the testing phase of this project, so there will be a lot of issues arising. You should sort out their ideas and come up with some solutions to solve them. That's the only way they will agree to come in. I want this area to become the most elitist residential area," Stella said.
"Understood."
"I have already prepared a proposal according to your instructions, but there is a problem. Young people nowadays mostly find jobs in a sector close to what they majored in. Either that or they're too young and inexperienced. We don't have enough professionals for certain sectors. For some sectors, we only have one or two applicants," The Minister of Education said.
"After graduation, it's normal for students to get a job in what they majored in. If some sectors are lacking in employees, we have no choice but to hire externally," Stella thought and said.
"In terms of external recruitment, there must be many talented people who will want to join us. After all, we offer housing allocations. Furthermore, they won't have to worry about their future kids' jobs. Nothing better than guarantees," The Minister of Education said with a smile.
"If two people were to apply for the same profession, I would suggest having them combine their classes. Let the head allocate them to the departments as he sees fit. Then, let the top student give classes on the theories of the profession. We want people who speak with their actions, and not just with their words," Stella suggested.
"Okay." The Minister of Education recorded it down.
