Chapter 125 Jack is Not Bad At All!
“Are you nervous?” Mr. Ward asked.
Jack put on a smile and replied, “What do you think?”
Mr. Ward gently rubbed his chin and said with emotion, “Young master, the son-inw eventually has to
meet their father and mother-inws.”
Jack didn’t know what to say in response to that.
However, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous at all.
Although he had met Amber’s parents when he was fresh in university all those years before, but it was
different from now.
Back then, he was just Amber’s friend, but now he was her boyfriend.
To make things worse, he was someone who had a divorce previously.
This fact alone was enough to degrade his image in her parents’ heart.
Ever since he parted ways with Amberst time, they didn’t really get in touch with each other often.
Now that they were reunited, he also needed to meet Amber’s parents.
What would happen this time around?
The more Jack thought about it, the more he felt uneasy.
When he was able to get three housing areas booked in advancest time, he was even able to keep
his calm.
However, he somehow felt restless this time around when he was going to see Amber again.
Mr. Ward could see that Jack was very nervous with the way his brows were all knitted up, so he
father used to look like when he was seeing your mother’s family members a long time ago.”
“My parents?”
Jack looked towards Mr. Ward.
Mr. Ward froze momentarily as a strange glint shed in his eyes. Then, he waved his hand to dismiss
his own words, “It is just some old history which is not worth mentioning anymore.”
Not worth mentioning anymore?
Jack felt doubtful when he heard that.
Since he never had a father all along, he knew very little about his parents’ past.
Mr. Ward’s words suddenly piqued his interest in this subject.
However, Mr. Ward quickly ended this topic before it even started. There was something ominous
about this whole thing.
…
The next morning, the attention of the citizen in the whole city was focused on West Shantytowns the
moment the sun appeared in the horizon.
After an encouraging period of pre-sales, almost everyone knew that DT real estate agency would pre-
sell three housing estates.
The explosive pre-sales event of Dragon Garden from not long ago was still fresh on everyone’s mind,
and it was only a brief period of time after that eventful day before this pre-sales urred with much
fanfare. This time around, three housing areas were open for sales!
Based on the housing prices of the houses in West Shantytowns, even if three housing areas were
opened for booking, it barely put a dent in their poprity.
When Dragon Garden was opened for salest time, all units were sold in just one day, which
disappointed a lot of people preparing to grab one unit for themselves.
This time around, with three housing areas being opened for booking, the number of units wasrge
enough to reignite the passion of those disappointed people fromst time.

Buying a unit this time would mean a great bargain for these people, so naturally they were very
enthusiastic about this event.
However, as Jack and his team expected, with the sales of three housing areas ongoing at the same
time, everyone’s attention was readily dispersed.
Each housing area was being visited by many buyers and onlookers, but the crowd around each area
couldn’tpare to the situation at Dragon Gardenst time where the visitors had managed to form a
long queue. The sight was magnificent.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony that signified themencement of the pre-sales was done, Jack
immediately went back to the office building of DT real estate agency.
He sat in front of hisputer and scrutinized the real time data that told him the actual sales volume
of those three housing areas.
Although the transaction volume wasn’t especially outstanding, the data showed that it was actually
rising steadily. With such a trend, it was just a matter of time before every unit was sold off.
“Jack, this event isn’t as excitingpared with that Dragon Garden eventst time. I reckon the media
probably would be at a loss of idea when ites to creating a buzz out of this.”
Corbin felt a little helpless when hepared the atmosphere surrounding Dragon Garden fromst
time to this current event. He felt a little empty in his heart.
If they had nned separate pre-sales for each of their three housing areas, they would be able to
recreate that buzz for several more times!
It was the prime opportunity for DT real estate agency to take center stage during this period of time!
“Once is enough.”
Jack smiled with a rxed expression as he pointed at the monitor of hisputer, “What we are
going after is the actual sales volume. It is better to make tons of money silently and remain low-
profile.”
Corbin also focused his gaze on the changing numbers on the monitor too and he found himself
satisfied with the current state of things of this pre-sales.
Despite that, he was still unable to fullyprehend Jack’s words, “Shouldn’t we spread the name of
our agency even further with the constant media exposure? I think that would help us in the long run by
cementing our good image in people’s hearts, no?”
“A tall tree always attracts the wind!”
Jack uttered these words with a solemn expression as he continued to stare at the data on his monitor.
Corbin lowered his head as if deep in thought.
In this pre-sales event, a ck G-ss Mercedes Benz slowly rolled to a stop by a road not far from
the housing areas on sale. The car window was winded down and a middle-aged man who looked
impressive came into view. He had white hair which wasbed into an immacte style. He was
craning his neck out of the car window to get a good view of themotion in front of the pre-sales
building.
The middle-aged man slowly nodded with a smile, “This young man has been doing well, it seems.”
“Dad, why do you even think that he’s doing well? Jack has made a terrible mistake this time.”
In the car, a voice rebuked him, “Thest time around, that pre-sales event was something never seen
before and it was the talk of the town. I can’t believe that they don’t make use of that reputation
properly, and they even open three housing areas for booking this time. Aren’t they being too greedy? If
he could recreate the buzz that could hold a candle to their previous event, the DT real estate agency
would definitely be an unshakablepany in the citizen’s hearts.”
“Oh, I saw that video on the inte some time ago. He has tantly confessed his love for my
daughter in public, so it was only natural that it had caused a sensation at that time.”
The middle-aged man joked, “Do you still think that it was the pre-sales even at that time that was the
talk of the talk? I think that my daughter was the one who was the talk of the town!”
“Dad…”
That female voice sounded a little powerless.
“You old geezer, why are you making fun of your daughter like that?” That gentle voice sounded again
wryly.
That middle-aged man let out a guffaw while rolling up the car window.
Then, the G-series Mercedes Benz roared to life once again.
In the car, that middle-aged man was studying a piece of document intently.
A meaningful smile was forming on his lips, and from time to time he would nod lightly.
By his side, there were two women who were ncing at him.
One of them was none other than… Amber!
There was an attractive woman seated beside Amber, and despite looking mature, she was able to
maintain her figure and appearance well as if time didn’t really rub off on her that much.
If they were seen by outsiders, those people would never have thought that they were actually mother
and daughter. They resembled a pair of sisters more.
In reality, Amber had returned to the city together with her parentsst night.
The fact that she was spending time with her parents coupled with Jack’s pre-sales event caused her
to decide not to inform Jack prematurely of her return.
This morning, her father suddenly suggested to go to the scene of the pre-sales event to get a good
look of the situation.
This was why they had appeared not far away from the sales building.
“Dad, why are you thinking so highly of that silly guy?” Amber was a little stunned.
Jack’s greedy disposition which caused him to give up on making DT real estate agency the main topic
of the city for a long time was a pretty stupid move in Amber’s eyes.
The West Shantytown had so much untapped potential, and by making moves on it slowly with a n
in mind, Jack wouldn’t need to worry about the sales of his housing areas. On the contrary, he could
slowly cement DT real estate agency’s reputation in the people’s hearts.
If a corporation wanted to have a longsting development in the city, acknowledgement given by the
citizen surrounding it and also a good reputation was essential.
However, judging by her father’s reaction, she felt that something was wrong about his opinions.
“You silly girl!”
The middle-aged man gently rubbed Amber’s hair and said meaningfully, “A tall tree attracts wind, and
the bullets of a gun always hit the birds who emerge from their hiding first. If one were to act too
brashly and expose oneself in such a high-profile way, he might attract misfortune instead.”
He pointed at the bustling scene of the pre-sales event and continued, “The West Shantytowns is a
huge piece of cake with so much untapped potential which is also targeted by many. If DT real estate
agency somehow causes a lot of sensation with their events, it would only further fuel emotions of envy
of those people who are jealous of the agency. They might not be afraid of getting their data or money
stolen but it is always dangerous to get targeted but unscrupulous people.”
“The business field is like a war territory, conspiracy and back-stabbing happen all the time. Which one
would you choose: unting oneself in public or simply earning the big bucks from behind the scenes?”
As he finished his exnation, the middle-aged man cupped his chin and revealed a faint smile.
“Jack is really not bad. That time when I first saw him, I never imagined that he is someone with such
broad vision.”
As she listened to his father’s words ofpliment being thrown at Jack, Amber only felt secretly
happy. She somehow felt that thosepliments were rubbing off on her despite the fact that she was
not the one beingplimented.
With a glint in her eyes, she suddenly asked, “Then, have you guys decided when to see him?”
