Victory in Life
Chapter 68
"Jasper, we meet again*
Zachary walked over laughing heartily when he saw Jasper get out of the car.
As he spoke, he smiled sincerely as he shook hands with Jasper and patted Jasper on the shoulder with his relaxed hands.
Jasper smiled and replied, "I'm sorry to bother you with my arrival to Harbor this time"
Zachary returned with a smile as well and said, "It's okay, it's our responsibility to host you as the owner of this place"
Then, Zachary guided Jasper to Manor, he said as he walked, "How is the view of Harbor city on the way from the Airport?"
Jasper thought for a moment and sincerely said, "I see prosperity along the way, I also see opportunities everywhere"
Zachary said meaningfully, "Young people are full of vitality, Your vision is indeed different.
"Come, old man is in the backyard, I've talked to him about you and he really wants to meet you" Zachary said.
Following Zachary into the backyard, Jasper noticed an old man in loose daily clothes wearing a straw hat, he was doing weeding work in a small vegetable garden.
Frankly, Jasper really didn't expect this to be his first meeting with the legend of Old Man Law's company.
"Usually, when the old man has no job, he likes to keep himself busy in this little vegetable garden, there's nothing we can do about it" Zachary explained.
At this moment Old Man Law saw the two of them, ignoring Zachary who was walking over, he gestured to Jasper and gestured for him to come.
Jasper entered the vegetable garden and smiled "Sir, you are as fit as a violin"
The old man was born in 1923 and is now 77 years old.
Old Man Law leaned against the garden hoe, his forehead slightly sweaty, in inhaling and smiling "There is a lack of energy to do other things when one is old, in the old, but it just feels like being in a vegetable garden"
"Come, young man, come and talk"
Jasper went to the side of the old man, the two finally had a chance to see each other at this moment.
The old man was very thin, he was not a tall man, not as the novel described him as ambitious or stubborn, his entire demeanor did not smell the domineering aura of the kind of person who enjoyed just ruling over everyone.
On the contrary, he looked more like an ordinary old farmer, only that his eyes were very bright even though he was almost 80 years old, his gaze was not gloomy but full of vitality.
The old man observed Jasper from head to toe and praised, "Not bad"
"Young man, come here and see, how's my vegetable garden?" ask the old man with some pride.
Jasper saw and noticed that the vegetable garden was not large, but it was clear that someone took good care of it every day, some vegetables grew well.
If it was an ordinary person, they would rack their brains to think of praise and flattery regardless of the situation.
However, Jasper shook his head, "Old Brother, you planted it wrong"
The old man was surprised, he asked, "How could it go wrong?"
Jasper pointed to the tomato seedlings and cucumber seedlings next to him, and said, "Old Pak of tomatoes and cucumbers cannot be planted together, cucumbers have relatively shallow roots and need to be watered regularly, so that they can not be planted together, but tomatoes on the contrary have deep roots and low water requirements.
"If the two were planted together, cucumbers would die from lack of water or tomatoes would die from a lot of water, only a child born to a family of farmers like me would know such a thing."
The old man patted his forehead and said with a sudden realization, "So that's why I can't grow tomatoes? Unfortunately, the knowledge gained from books does feel shallow"
Zachary who was not far sweating profusely.
He never really expected Old Man and Jasper, whose age difference between the two was over 50, to have such a great conversation about the topic of growing vegetables.
Anna who came to his side at one time, laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at" Zachary asked curiously.
Anna looked at the two people in the vegetable garden and said, "Previously, Grandpa didn't even listen when he was told to rest more, but it's okay now, Grandfather would probably be embarrassed to show off the garden hoe again now that someone had revealed his flaws."
At this moment, Old Man Law smiled and said to Jasper, "Actually, you will understand how to become a person who has lived a long time. The principle is the same when growing vegetables."
*From planting the soil to sowing seeds, fertilizing and watering, then waiting for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit, each process should be carefully carried out in the correct order."
"Problems can occur at any stage. If the quality of the soil is not good enough, the seeds will not grow. Too much root fertilizer will burn, but too little fertilizer They will wither. Too much water and vegetables will be inundated, but too little vegetable water will dry out. Everything has to be precise.*
Jasper nodded in agreement. "The smallest piece of land may be no more than a few square feet, but it still has incredible wisdom."
Old Man Law said cheerfully, "I heard from Zachary you promised to help the Law family get back nine billion?"
Jasper said solemnly, "Yes, I'm sure."
However, Old Man Law waved his hand and said, "There's no need to feel depressed. The Law family loves to make friends, even more so with young talents like you.
"When there's a lot of money, it's just a series of numbers. The Law family is still the Law family apart from the nine billion. You don't have to worry about it."
Jasper smiled and said, "Of course, impressed that Old Man Law was able to see the bright side, but I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for myself, so I can't just let it slip away."
"If there's something you need, you can tell Zachary. The Law family will give you all the help you need" Old Man Law said.
"Thank you, Old Man Law." Jasper doesn't pretend to be humble.
Appearing in the town of Harbor and standing in the Law family home has proven an alliance between the two sides.
Law's family needs him, and he needs Law's family, too.
The third main intention of coming to help each other was to form an alliance.
"I'm tired, I'm going upstairs to rest. You can see the Law Family residence waiting to have dinner together at night" Old Man Law said.
"Well," Jasper said with a smile.
They both came out of the vegetable garden with Jasper right behind Old Man Law.
"Dad don't work in this vegetable garden anymore. Leave it to the servants" said Zachary.
*Grandfather, I'll help you up, '" Anna said with a sweet smile.
"Stay my grandson who understands me" Old Man Law smiled and patted Anna on the hand, then said to Zachary in annoyance, "You just need to think about your business. I don't see any prospects from you even at this age, yet you still want to lecture me every y?"
Jasper stood beside Zachary and watched Old Man Law leave.
It would be too foolish to think that he was just an ordinary old man because of his appearance.
This old man was considered the true hero of Harbor City!
Like other wealthy families, even the richest caucasian family, the Langdon family, once faced ruthless criminals who kidnapped their son. However, the Law family has for years stood firm against the wind and rain. No one from law enforcement or the mafia would dare to touch them and why would that be?
That's because Old Man Law from the Law family still exists.
This old man was a great person who had connections on both sides of the law and a smart way. The Law family was also involved in the arms trade in its early years.
In addition, very few people know that the Law family has a large stake in the gambling industry in the city of Harbor. Back then, the King of gambling alluded to him, he said, "Never enter the city of Harbor as long as I live."
The gambling king was so frightened that he never stepped into the city of Harbor to this day.
In the past, just after Old Man Law died, the King of gambling dared to enter the city of Harbor freely and easily again.
It could be seen that while Old Man Law had long retired and was busy with this vegetable garden every day, his name could still control the entirety of Harbor City and Auma City in his control.
There is a saying that everyone in the elite circle knows.
Mr. Law is the first and only top businessman since economic reform.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Old Man Law's ability had surpassed heaven!!
