A Graduation Gift

Chapter 210 The Secret Investor (Part Three)

Jasper simply answered, handing him a few documents. He gave Rufus ample time to go over the documents while he started explaining.

"The groups under our company were always losing at biddings. I found it pretty strange. So I asked some people to look into it. Guess what I have found out?"

Jasper said with a serious look on his face, wearing a deep frown. Obviously, he found the situation so annoying and was also worried about their company's status. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"Our competitors won the bids by the base bid price?"

Rufus said, after going over the documents. He was good at his job, and of course, it was easy for him to find out what was wrong with those bids.

If it only happened for one or two times, they could still consider this a coincidence. But the same situation happened for many of their projects. This was definitely unusual. There must be someone behind their back who had been sabotaging their business.

Jasper just nodded at his words. His eyebrows knitted into a tight frown.

"It's not just that. When I tried to find out who is behind all this, I just couldn't find a thing. There's no trace or shreds of evidence. And look at this…"

Jasper said while giving Rufus more documents. The frown on his face was getting tighter. He was really exasperated about this.

"Recently, our TY Securities also lost a number of good clients. They all went and invest in a newly opened securities company. According to them, the new company takes less money than us,"

Jasper said in a low whispered voice. The thought of the many clients they had lost to the new company made Jasper felt so discouraged.

"This will do no good to their company, and I am sure that they know it. This is like suicide. They'll make little profit, and it will also affect the whole industry. No matter what, a malign competition is never the best way to kill your competitors,"

Rufus explained in a cold tone. With these words, he threw the documents on the desk with a disdainful look on his face.

He knew that malign competitions were childish and low. It seemed that the leader of the new company was pretty stupid. This would do them no good, and it would endanger the whole industry.

"Yes, it's not a smart way to get into the market. But it doesn't matter that we know this or not. The ones who don't know this are the clients. If they find out that the new company charges less, definitely they would go to them. We just can't stop them,"

Jasper said, shrugging. In fact, he had already talked to many big clients about this. But they all insisted that the TY Securities should lower their prices so as to compete with the new company. Of course, Jasper couldn't agree to that, thus those clients just took their money and left.

"Don't mind them. Just focus on our loyal clients. I believe that soon, that new company will face serious problems because of this malign competition. They will not be a threat forever."

Rufus let out a deep sigh. He raised his hands to rub his throbbing temples. A headache suddenly struck him. He just had too many things on his plate.

Jasper's call made him feel anxious and alerted. Moreover, he wasn't able to rest on his way to the HQ because he was worried. Now, he just felt exhausted and wanted so badly to lay his back on a floppy bed.

"Are you okay, Rufus? You don't look good,"

Jasper asked in a worried tone. It was rare for him to see Rufus this tired and stressed. If Jasper's memory was right, he had never seen him so weak and vulnerable. Rufus was always energetic and collected. He was good at hiding his feelings, and he was always powerful and strong. He was a genius in this industry, brilliant enough to juggle his true feelings with displayed impressions.

"I am okay. I just need some rest and I will be all good again,"

Rufus replied. Then suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something.

"How about Arthur recently? Did you hire someone to watch over him? Do you have an idea of the persons he's been in contact with recently?"

Thinking about the sudden change of the spokesperson in G City, Rufus still felt a bit uncertain.

"Arthur? He just focused all his attention on getting the projects of the tourism district. He is just too ambitious for his own good, and we can never really trust this kind of man,"

Jasper said in a serious tone. After Arthur got the investment from the TY Group, he became bold and eager. It was not a good thing for both Rufus and Jasper. He had too many ideas, and to be honest, they were not candid, actually not good at all. He just kept doing vicious things to get what he wanted.

"If he keeps being like this, I believe he will end up in prison just like Vernon sooner or later."

Something flashed through Rufus's eyes at the mention of Cassandra's father. It seemed that he should use Arthur as soon as possible. He was worried that Arthur would cause his own death soon and affect the big plan. He should take advantage of him and quickly get rid of him after that.

"To be honest, Vernon really had a stroke of bad luck. In this industry, nobody is 100 percent innocent and truthful. We all know this. Someone must have sold him out and successfully sent him to prison. Poor Cassandra, Not only does she have to pay a big amount of penalty for her father, but she also has to take over the Qin Group for him at such a young age,"

Jasper said in a pitiful tone while shaking his head. In front of him, Rufus breathed heavily. His heart dropped hearing what Jasper had said. He couldn't help but felt remorse for Cassandra.
