Ch. 2261..2270
Life at the Top Chapter 2261-“No! I’m not convinced! I think your test results are unfair. There’s something fishy about you people!”
Saul’s words violated a taboo.
Professor Osmond, who always kept a cold face and did not talk much, now spoke. “That man is disrupting order. Take him away immediately! I will give you three minutes to leave, otherwise, the news that the crude oil sample from your oil field failed the test will be reported in the newspapers immediately!”
This sentence was like a trump card that threatened Saul immediately.
Saul was dumbfounded for a moment, and the people around him rushed up and grabbed him. Finally, they turned Saul to the door of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce.
Saul did not realize that the world had changed completely until he was thrown out.
He sighed helplessly and turned back to look at the signboard of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce behind him repeatedly. However, no matter how much he lingered, Saul also understood that the failure of the test this time was like a seal stamped on his face.
He could only find a way to find out the cause as soon as possible and then get ready to participate in the next test.
Saul left the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce unaware that Osmond was watching from the window.
“Hello, Miss Bella? The first round of testing is over. I followed your instructions and gave Saul a failed test result… The old man has already left in a daze. It seems that the result has hit him hard.”
Bella smiled when she heard the news.
“Of course, it can be said that the oil field business was the capital for Saul to take root here. Now, let’s cutoff his roots! From now on, Saul will never be able to do anything. You’re doing great, keep up the good work, and don’t forget I have one more name on your list.”
“Yes, I will remain vigilant and ensure that the task is completed!”
After hanging up the phone, Osmond naturally would not forget that the other name on the list was Jasper Laine.
‘I wonder when this guy will come to go through the formalities…’ Osmond muttered to himself, and the expression on his face gradually became sinister.
***
At ten o’clock the next morning, Jasper stood by the windowsill brooding, a serious look on his face.
”What’s wrong Jasper? What happened?”
“It’s nothing. I forgot to inform Mr. Jefferson about something yesterday. Now that it’s all over, I don’t want to call anymore. I’ll just go to his place.”
Julian immediately put down what he was doing and drove Jasper into the city.
They came to the door of the hotel under Mr. Jefferson’s name but found that the door was closed.
Jasper knew that something must have happened, so he immediately called Saul.
“Mr. Jefferson, I’m at the entrance of your hotel. Why is it closed?”
Saul replied quickly, but his voice sounded weak, “Yes, the hotel is closed, and my other industries, including the oil fields, may also be closed in the future… I guess I will have to go back to Somerland in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Jasper continued, “Mr. Jefferson, you can tell me if you have any problems. We will tide over the difficulties together!”
Saul was very touched to hear that Jasper was so willing to help him at this moment.
He finally sighed, “Hah, it’s hard for me to tell you in a few words. In that case, you can come to my oil field. I will wait for you here.”
Saul quickly sent the address of his oil field to Jasper, and Jasper took a look at it before setting off with Julian immediately.
Life at the Top Chapter 2262-The two did not waste any more time and soon came to a suburb of Bashra in the north of the city. There were many companies started by oil businessmen here and Saul was one of them.
Soon, Jasper and Julian arrived at their destination, and they saw a large oil base.
Jasper found that this place was at least twice as big as his own just judging by the scale. Since he had experience, he understood the painstaking efforts and hard work Saul put in to get this oil field.
It was also because of this that when Jasper heard that Saul was going to give up the oil field, he was surprised.
‘What happened to Saul that forced him to make such a decision?’
When they met again, Jasper was surprised to find that Saul had become disheveled. The Saul who used to dress in a neat suit and smile whenever he saw everyone was gone. Now, Saul looked more like a beggar.
”Mr. Jefferson, l’m here… What happened? Can you tell me?”
Saul had been staring blankly until he heard Jasper calling his name.
Immediately afterward, he informed Jasper about his participation in the first round of crude oil sample testing in the morning.
”Originally, it wasn’t a big deal that my crude oil sample failed the test… I shouldn’t have been too emotional. I couldn’t accept the result and talked back to the professor. As a result, a few hours later, news spread throughout Bashra, and now I can’t sell my oil anymore…”
When Saul said this, Jasper grasped the point at once.
“Hey, it’s my fault too. If only I had come to tell you the final result sooner…”
Saul was obviously a little bit taken aback after seeing the pity on Jasper’s face
“What? Did you know the inside story a long time ago?”
“Of course, Mr. Jefferson. Do you still remember that I told you that there was a problem with this so-called new testing standard?”
Saul thought about it carefully and recalled that Jasper had indeed said such words, but he did not take it to heart at all. However, now that something happened to his family‘s oil field and he could no longer sell, he also felt that something was wrong.
“You were right at that time…”
Saul sighed, and Jasper nodded seriously. “Yes, that’s why I feel sorry for you.”
Then, Jasper told Saul that he invited a certain important person to investigate the International Petroleum Organization.
“I have obtained the correct information, and this so-called brand-new detection standard is a scam!”
Saul was taken aback when he heard it. He obviously could not accept it.
“Is it? But… It’s unlikely. I don’t believe Murik would deceive me!”
Saul clearly trusted Murik, but what Jasper said next left him speechless.
“There is a possibility that Mr. Murik was also deceived…”
As soon as these words came out, Saul took a sharp breath. If Mr. Murik was also deceived, it meant that there was a huge conspiracy behind all this!
Jasper spoke again at this point.
”The information I got came from the minister of the International Petroleum Organization. I won’t force you to believe me. I could only predict the result… In the future, there will be many more oil fields that will fail the inspection including mine. These oil fields will all either be very profitable, or are at odds with the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce. Do you believe me?”
Life at the Top Chapter 2263-Saul did not expect Jasper to dare to make such a big prophecy. It was not that he did not believe it, but he did not dare to believe it.
If this kind of prophecy had come true, what kind of serious consequences would it have?
Saul simply did not dare to think about it.
“Really? Let’s hope it doesn’t…” Saul sighed, and Jasper just smiled slightly.
“I also hope that doesn’t happen. I just prefer to plan for a rainy day based on my personal habits so that I won’t be unprepared when the real crisis occurs.”
Saul nodded slightly. Although he did not have much contact with Jasper, he could see his habits. Moreover, he listened to what Jasper said just now.
“If you say it’s false, then I’m confident… I am looking forward to the next test, and then I will find Mr. Murik. I must tell him the truth!”
Seeing that Saul was still naive and would rather continue to trust Murik as a friend, Jasper did not know what to say.
As the saying goes, it was hard to change the mind of someone already determined, and Jasper had done his best in this regard. If he continued to persuade, the other party might start to dislike him. So, Jasper also stopped discussing this topic, and he decided to take practical action.
“Since Mr. Jefferson has found a solution, I will not interfere. In short, Mr. Jefferson, I would like to advise you to have confidence in your own oil fields, but you should not be blindly confident in other things… If you need help, just ask!”
“I’ll go back and get ready!”
Saul nodded seriously when he heard Jasper’s meaningful words.
“I see, Don’t worry, I will handle this well. Hurry up and go prepare crude oil test samples!”
Jasper turned and left, knowing that the next challenge was coming. Thus, he hurried back to the oil field and conveyed the news to everyone.
Upon hearing that Saul’s oil field has been shut down, other old employees who worked there were very angry.
Their reasons were exactly the same as Saul’s.
The two companies affiliated with the oil fields had been operating for several years. If there were a problem with the product, there was no need for them to self-check at all. There would already be people coming forward. Therefore, everyone felt that there was a problem with this new testing standard.
Brock was a local after all and he had a hot temper.
“Mr. Laine, according to the locals, we have the final say on our own things. When will it be the turn of these outsiders?”
After hearing this, the remaining employees were very supportive.
Jasper smiled in reply, “Don’t worry, I already knew there was something fishy about this. But knowing the conspiracy and finding evidence to expose the conspiracy are two different things… You should follow my instructions and immediately make preparations!”
Jasper quickly called everyone whom he could and started making preparations together.
On the other side, Bella called Osmond.
“Since Saul’s oil field has been shut down, we can forget about him first. After all, that oil field will be ours sooner or later… The primary target now is Jasper, and he must be suppressed before he rises.”
Bella was very determined and Osmond immediately agreed.
”No problem, Miss Bella. Don’t worry, he can’t be more difficult to deal with than Saul!”
In Osmond’s view, Saul, an old oil businessman who has worked in the local area for many years, was not his opponent.
Life at the Top Chapter 2264-Osmond found Mr. Murik. Meanwhile, Mr. Murik still respected Osmond very much.
“Professor Osmond, do you have any orders?”
“No, I remember that there is another oil field on the list that hasn’t prepared for inspections yet… I can’t let them get off the hook. Call them now.”
Mr. Murik glanced at the list and spotted that it was Jasper who had not yet signed up.
“I see, leave this to me.”
Soon, Jasper received a call from Mr. Murik.
“Hi, is this Jasper Laine? I’m Mr. Murik… Today is the day all oil traders in Bashra will participate in the testing. As long as you can pass the test, the procedures on your side will go through smoothly. Why are you not here yet?”
Then came Jasper’s weak voice on the phone.
“I’m sorry, Sir, … l didn’t intend to not cooperate, I suddenly fell ill…”
“That’s okay, you can arrange for someone to send the crude oil sample. The result will be the same anyway…”
At this point, Jasper suddenly became nervous.
“How is that possible? Sir, you know that I am an outsider. l have to do everything myself if I want to run an oil business here. How about… Can you bring them over to me, Sir?”
Mr. Murik was stunned upon hearing this and turned back to ask Osmond for his opinion.
Osmond knew Jasper was stalling for time as soon as he heard it, so he replied directly, “Sir, you tell him that I will bring someone to him to run the test. No one can escape today!”
When Mr. Murik saw how determined Osmond was, he immediately conveyed the news back.
“Did you hear that, Jasper? Professor Osmond said he will go do the test in person.”
“No problem. I want to thank Professor Osmond for making the trip. I’ll wait for him here.”
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Murik saw that Osmond started packing his clothes immediately.
Murik seemed a little hesitant and finally reminded, “Professor Osmond, I know Jasper so I think he is really sick and not deliberately delaying time. Please don’t be mad.”
Given Saul’s relationship, Mr. Murik also helped Jasper with a few good words.
It could be seen that Jasper’s analysis of Murik was not wrong. He was not a bad person, but unfortunately, he was just foolishly loyal. Many things in front of him had clearly gone wrong, but he still chose to believe it.
When Osmond heard this, he also forced a smile on his face.
”Sir, you must be joking. We must ensure absolute fairness when working. We absolutely cannot mix emotions with work. You can rest assured about this!”
Mr. Murik felt very relieved when he heard Osmond say this.
On the other side, after Jasper hung up the phone, he began to improve the plan he had prepared.
“Immediately pass on my order, Professor Osmond will come for a test soon. This is the most important task at the moment. It must be prioritized even if we have to stop production. Everyone must fully cooperate and make no mistakes!”
“Roger that!” Brock passed on Jasper’s order immediately while he stood by the window and looked at the entrance.
“I wonder who will win this time…” Jasper sneered inwardly.
Obviously, he knew that he and Osmond had almost shown their cards.
Both sides know what the other side wanted to do so this was equivalent to a duel between hidden plans!
Life at the Top Chapter 2265-About twenty minutes later, Professor Osmond brought several people to the oil field under Jasper’s name.
After getting out of the car, Osmond glanced at the people at the door and asked with a frown.
“Where is Jasper Laine?”
Julian, who had been guarding the door, immediately showed a smile after he saw this.
“Sorry, Professor Osmond. Mr. Laine is really sick right now. He can’t come out to greet you, so he specially arranged for me to come over… Please come with me.”
Originally, Osmond was very upset, but seeing that Julian was very polite, he stopped pursuing the matter.
He took his signature silver suitcase and walked in with Julian.
Everyone came to a small building, went up the stairs, and entered a spacious and bright meeting room.
Jasper was sitting here. He deliberately put a little bit of makeup on his face to pretend to be sick.
Osmond thought that Jasper was pretending to be sick, but when he saw Jasper’s pale face, he changed his mind a little.
“Hello, Professor Osmond, I’m really sorry that I’m not doing well today and couldn’t take the initiative to greet you…”
Osmond quickly waved his hands after seeing Jasper’s weak appearance.
“Okay, okay, I don’t care about this at all. It‘s fine as long as you can obediently accept the test. Is the crude oil sample ready?”
After Osmond finished speaking, Jasper immediately looked at the staff next to him.
The other party was also prepared and quickly took out the crude oil sample. This time, because there were not so many people watching, Osmond did not need to pretend to enter the laboratory.
He skillfully opened the silver suitcase and directly took out the bottle of bright green reagent inside.
However, before Osmond did anything, he turned around and said, “Draw the curtains and turn on the lights!”
After hearing this, Jasper felt a little strange, so he hurriedly asked, “Professor Osmond, why do you have to close the curtains and turn on the lights? Isn’t it superfluous?”
Osmond reluctantly began to explain, ”It’s because this new detection reagent is phototaxis. Artificial light can be irradiated, but not natural light. Stop talking so much, time is running out!”
Jasper nodded immediately, and then hurriedly spoke a few words to Julian next to him.
Julian then immediately arranged for someone to close the curtains and turn on the lights.
After everything was ready, everyone gathered around the table, wanting to see how powerful this so-called new testing reagent was. No one, including Osmond, saw Julian quietly leaving through the door.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Osmond took out the reagent and the dropper and dropped a bit of the reagent directly into the petri dish. Soon the final result appeared. It was almost exactly the same as Saul’s earlier that day.
The original black oil in the petri dish gradually turned the color of water, which looked very strange. After that, Osmond still announced with a straight face.
“As you can see, your oil field also failed the inspection…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room was suddenly pitch black!
The room became chaotic in an instant, and Osmond was also flustered. He did not know what to do.
Fortunately, Jasper spoke at this time.
“I’m sorry, Professor Osmond, there may be a problem with the circuit and the power went out. It’ll be back to normal soon.”
Sure enough, after about tens of seconds, the room was filled with light again.
Julian walked in from the position of the door and said apologetically, “I’m really sorry, it’s because the voltage outside was unstable that there was a powertrip.”
Life at the Top Chapter 2266-Osmond looked around and saw that nothing had changed. He was a little flustered when the power went out just now because he was afraid that Jasper had intentionally caused the power outage.
Perhaps Jasper wanted to deliberately create confusion at this time and then completely destroy the test results that have been obtained. Now, it seemed that Osmond was just overthinking.
By now, Osmond‘s mission was completed, so there was no need for him to stay here any longer.
”You failed the test and your company must make some internal rectifications. You will not be allowed to open until you pass the next test.”
After Osmond finished speaking, Jasper said with a sullen face, “Although I just took over this oil field, l have been in business for several years. Won’t my customers know whether the quality of my oil is good or not?”
Osmond did not want to stay here any longer, so he hurriedly fled with his men.
It was not until Osmond and his subordinates drove away that Jasper continued to speak, “I asked you to turn off the switch and steal the test reagent just now, have you done it?”
Julian immediately took out a test tube with some bright green reagent. “Of course, Jasper!”
Just now Osmond was correct. The power outage was indeed caused by Jasper himself. However, the purpose was to get the test reagent, not to destroy the test result. This was because even if he destroyed the test result, Osmond could do it again on the spot.
Osmond guessed wrong, and now Jasper’s plan was half successful.
Jasper had never forgotten the information he asked Mr. McNeal to collect for him. The minister of the International Petroleum Organization said that they would know what the composition of this detection reagent was as long as they sent it to a standardized lab.
So, this was what Jasper was going to do now.
“Are there any laboratories here that meet international standards?” Jasper glanced back at Brook, and Brook’s eyes immediately turned dark.
“Um… Not in Basra because no one needs it, but there should be one in the capital, Bardot.”
When Jasper heard this, he immediately began to give orders, ”You are more familiar with the locals, so this time I will entrust the task to you. Be sure to go to Bardot, find a laboratory that meets international standards, and ask them to test its composition…”
”Remember, you’re allowed to spend any amount of money, but it must be authoritative enough!”
Brock nodded immediately after hearing this.
His expression was very serious. “Don’t worry, Mr. Laine, thank you for trusting me so much. This time, I will do my best and will definitely complete this mission!”
Brock quickly left with the test tube.
Julian looked at Jasper and asked, “Do I need someone to protect him? What if the other party finds out?”
“No, Brock can protect himself. If we bring too many people to him, we might be exposed.”
Jasper had already considered this, so he was not worried at all. Now, everything was going as he expected. He only needed to wait for Brock to successfully get back with this authoritative report.
Saul and Mr. Murik would also come to their senses when they saw it, and Jasper could also take advantage of the opportunity to expose the other party’s plan!
“We just need to be patient and wait.”
Life at the Top Chapter 2267-Jasper gave the order, but soon Julian came back, “Jasper, some of the employees are worried about their salary.”
“After all, the entire oil field has been shut down so it’s normal for them to have doubts.” Jasper nodded to express his understanding after hearing this, and then he held a staff meeting again.
At this conference, Jasper clearly told everyone that his ultimate goal was to cooperate with the Kurt family.
Winning this small oil field was only the first step in his plan. Jasper revealed his identity and the employees present finally realized the truth. It turned out that he did not depend on this oil field for a living, so everyone stopped worrying. At the same time, they were extremely happy to be able to take paid vacations during this period.
Osmond, on the other hand, had already returned to the city with the fruits of victory.
He avoided Mr. Murik and immediately contacted Miss Bella.
“Miss Bella, I want to tell you some good news! Currently, I have issued a failed report to the oil field under Jasper’s name. I have already warned them that they must suspend work and production. If you want to take over, you can go at any time!”
Upon hearing this, Bella was elated. Originally, Bella followed Jasper to Qari just to beat Jasper once.
Unexpectedly, now she not only had a sure chance of winning but could even get two oil fields as well. Moreover, no one had discovered the true identity of the chemist Osmond until now. This also meant that Bella could continue to use this technique to obtain more oil fields.
One must know that the United States’ recent national strategy was aimed at the oil resources of Qari. As a Rothschild, Bella had known this for a long time.
The reason why the seniors of the Rothschild family agreed to let Bella come to Qari at the beginning after she applied was to let her learn more.
Looking at it now, Bella was not only knowledgeable, but she had also become their advance army!
”Great! Uncle Paulson has always thought that I don’t have any ability since I’m from a rich family, but this time, I will prove it to him!”
As she thought about this, Bella decided not to take over Jasper and Saul’s oil fields prematurely. If she did this, she would immediately alert them. Obviously, Bella was not interested in small gains.
She intended to continue this testing plan and get as many oil fields as she could.
Bella then hurriedly ordered. ”Osmond, you have done a great job this time, and I will definitely reward you well in the future! However, you can’t relax now. You have to make persistent efforts, understand?”
Osmond was naturally excited when he heard this.
“No problem, I understand. Don’t worry, Miss Bella, I will bring more good news in the future!”
Osmond understood what Bella was trying to say, that was, he needed to carry out more tests as soon as possible. If the oil fields failed the testing, they would have to stop working.
As soon as they stopped working, they would face enormous pressure. If Bella made a move then, it was very likely that she would be able to buy the oil fields at a low price.
Jasper was smarter. He held a staff meeting as early as possible to ease everyone’s worries. On the contrary, Saul on the other side was suffering.
His oil field could not operate now and so many of his employees were waiting for their salaries. Plus, Saul did not expect this matter to turn out to be a bad label that he could not get rid of.
Everyone began to boycott all of Saul’s industries one after another, which made Saul suddenly face huge economic pressure. The closed hotel Jasper saw that day was the harbinger of Saul’s decline.
Saul was not in the mood to eat or sleep these days, so he looked haggard. He thought for a long time, but he did not know how to solve the predicament in front of him.
At this time, his assistant called.
Life at the Top Chapter 2268-“Hey, Sohn, what’s the matter?”
“Boss, come and take a look! The employees are starting a riot! Now the oil field is in chaos, and some people even threatened to burn the oil field!”
Upon hearing this, Saul stood up immediately.
“What? Is there such a thing? Sohn, help me keep them under control first. I will go there now.”
The oil field was the foundation for Saul to stay in Bashra. If something really happened to the oil field, then Saul would not be able to stay here anymore.
He immediately drove to the oil field, and sure enough, he saw a group of rioting employees just as he arrived at the gate of the industrial park. Saul appeared in front of the crowd.
The restless crowd froze for a moment and suddenly someone spoke. “Look, Mr. Jefferson is here!”
“That’s right, Mr. Jefferson. Let us go back to work or we won’t be able to put food on the table anymore!”
“Mr. Jefferson, if you don’t let us start working, we won’t be able to survive and we won’t forgive you!”
Everyone obviously lost some of their sanity at this time.
Saul also did not expect that he would one day be threatened by his employees.
However, since Saul came here to solve the problem, he immediately said seriously. ”Don’t worry, everyone, I won’t delay your salary or anything. And you have also seen what happened. A new testing rule popped up claiming that we are do not have the rights to sell our oil anymore…”
“We have to close down the oil field and there is no way for us to make a profit. I also have my own difficulties dealing with this!”
Obviously, not many people were willing to believe Saul when he started complaining.
”Mr. Jefferson, stop trying to make yourself sound pitiful. You can still eat delicacies every day after doing that, but we can’t even eat instant noodles!”
“Yeah, Mr. Jefferson. Even after suffering a loss, the rich will still be better off than ordinary people. No matter how poor you are, you can’t be as poor as us!”
Only then did Saul realize that he had said the wrong thing. However, at this time, it was impossible for him to turn back.
At this time, an old employee stood up.
“Mr. Jefferson, we’ve been working here for a very long time and we know the oil produced here is better than anywhere else. That man named Professor Osmond is surely trying to fool us this time. We can’t trust him. Didn’t he say that he could do another test last time? Then call him!”
“If we pass the test, we will continue to work. If we fail, he must give us an explanation!”
When Saul heard this, he was in disbelief.
He was very surprised. As the boss, he was not even as passionate as the old employee in front of him. Therefore, Saul’s passion was also ignited at this time, and he also yelled.
”You’re right! How long have we been building oil fields and factories here? We don’t need to follow this guy’s so-called advice at all. I’ll contact Professor Osmond, By the way, arrange for someone to go to the city to buy another batch of weapons!”
Saul immediately ordered and his men began to split into two groups.
Some people went to the weapons market in the city to buy weapons while another group of people waited here and saw Saul call Mr. Murik again.
“Saul, are you alright?”
The call went through, and Mr. Murik began to exchange pleasantries with Saul. Everyone could see that the failure of the last test gave Saul a huge blow.
Saul immediately waved his hand. He looked very calm.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Murik, I’m not someone who can be defeated so easily.”
Life at the Top Chapter 2269-“The reason why I called you this time is that I am ready to be tested again! I will pass this time!”
After hearing this, Mr. Murik was relieved. He was afraid that Saul would never recover from this fall, but he did not expect Saul to recover so quickly.
“Okay, then I’ll arrange for someone to come and do the test for you.” Mr. Murik quickly told Osmond the news, and he seemed a little impatient when he heard it.
”It’s not that I don’t agree, but come and see for yourself, Mr. Murik. The list has expanded to include dozens of oil fields. We should always follow the first come, first served rule, right?”
The reason why Osmond did not want to go was, of course, he wanted keep buying time.
He was following Miss Bella’s orders, and once these oil fields were targeted, he would be unwilling to give them a chance to make a comeback again. Thus, Osmond naturally wanted to delay as long as he could.
However, Osmond did not know that Mr. Murik had a very good relationship with Saul.
At this time, Mr. Murik spoke.
”Um… Professor Osmond, please do it for my sake. Help my friend. He lost a lot from the failure last time.”
Osmond knew he would be exposed if he continued speaking when he saw how persistent Mr. Murik was. Hence, Osmond nodded immediately.
“Okay then, but I have to go later. I will test the people on the list one by one during the day, and I will go to Mr. Jefferson’s place in the evening.”
“No problem, it’s a deal then!”
When Osmond agreed, Mr. Murik was ecstatic. He immediately relayed the news to Saul, who thanked him too.
Osmond had been busy for about seven or eight hours during the day and tested a total of 21 companies that came to him. In the end, Osmond had issued a total of about seven certificates. The rest were all unqualified, and they had to go back to stop work and production so they could rectify themselves.
This was what Bella wanted to see.
By that afternoon, the news that only one-third of the companies passed the test had spread like wildfire. Many oil companies that had not yet gotten in line were retreating at this time. They were afraid that even if they got in line early, it would be a nightmare for them if they failed the test.
When all the oil companies were panicking, Osmond finished all the work and re-reported the latest news to Bella.
“Miss Bella, I have taken down 70% of all the oil companies in Bashra that signed up for the test. Once the time is right, they will be all yours!”
Bella was smiling from ear to ear. She did not expect the victory to come so suddenly and easily.
“Osmond, l was right about you. Have an early rest today and your rewards will be doubled once you succeed.”
At this time, Osmond also knew to ask for credit, so he pretended to add casually.
“Sigh, I want to go to rest too, but I can’t. What do you mean by that?”
“Mr. Murik told me that Saul was ready for a second test and insisted that I go there tonight. I couldn’t argue with him, so I had no choice but to agree.”
It sounded normal, but Bella was keenly aware that something was wrong.
“Since you have already agreed, it will be suspicious if you change your mind again. But it seems a little abnormal for Saul to ask you to go again so soon. Alright, you need to go and if you sense anything fishy, let me know immediately!”
Life at the Top Chapter 2270-After hearing this, Osmond also felt that he had to be more cautious.
“I understand, Miss Bella, don’t worry, I will act carefully.”
After hanging up the phone, Osmond set off immediately and took a few of his assistants with him.
Soon, he returned to Saul’s oil industry park easily since he already knew the way.
Before going in, Osmond glanced at one of his assistants nearby. “I want to give you a task. Stay here and hide. If I don’t call you to report my safety twenty minutes after I go in, you should immediately contact Miss Bella to save me.”
“Yes, Sir!”
After Bella’s reminder just now, Osmond also realized that he had to pay attention to Saul’s emotions.
People would do anything if they were driven to desperation. If they make Saul fail twice in a short period, they did not know what he would do if he became anxious.
Not long after, Osmond drove into the oil industry park and spotted Saul, who had been waiting there for a long time.
Saul was beaming and immediately got up to greet Osmond proactively.
“Welcome, Professor Osmond. Your arrival brightens this place so much.”
After Saul finished speaking, Osmond waved his hand casually.
“Mr. Jefferson, there’s no need to be so humble. Let’s get straight to the point! Didn’t you say you’re ready for a second test?”
Although Saul failed to flatter Osmond, he was not bothered in the slightest.
“Of course, please follow me. We have a specially prepared laboratory upstairs!”
Then, Saul took the lead, and Osmond followed quickly to the laboratory upstairs.
“After you, Professor Osmond, this is the specially prepared laboratory!”
Osmond took a look and found that the laboratory here was really up to standard. If he did not use some tricks, he would not be able to intimidate Saul in his territory.
No matter where Osmond went, it would always be the same set of procedures because the main ingredient was the test reagent in his hands.
As long as the test reagent remained the same, anyone would have to obediently obey Osmond if he wanted to fail them.
Osmond opened his suitcase again, took out the test reagent, and dropped a few drops into the petri dish. This time Osmond deliberately used less of the reagent, so there were some changes in the petri dish, but not much.
Finally, Osmond said.
“Mr. Jefferson, it seems that you have followed my advice seriously after you came back… You see, from the test samples, your oil purity this time is much higher than before. Although it has not yet reached the standard, it is very close, so you should continue to make persistent efforts!”
After Osmond finished speaking, he reached out and patted Saul on the shoulder to express his comfort.
Saul’s tone suddenly changed at this moment. “Professor Osmond, you’re saying that I still can’t pass the second test, right?”
”That’s right, isn’t the test result right in front of you? I won’t lie…”
Osmond was packing his things leisurely while talking. He was pretending to be calm. Only in this way would he have a chance to leave.
It was a pity that Osmond had no idea that Saul had already made up his mind. There was only one result of today’s inspection. Saul’s oil field inspection had to pass. Otherwise, Osmond would not be able to leave safely!
