Chapter 2257

Jasper smiled and said, “What? Is it that obvious?”

“You can’t even call it obvious anymore. It’s almost written on your face!”

Jasper did not hide anything, so he told Julian that he had dinner with Murik, the president of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce.

”I don’t believe in the new detection method that President Murik said. My intuition tells me that this is suspicious, but I have no evidence… If it involves the International Petroleum Organization, I feel like I can call someone up and ask.”

After speaking, Jasper picked up his mobile phone and made a call.

“Hey, Jasper, you haven’t called me after going abroad for so long. Do you have any good news to tell me today?”

After hearing this, Jasper began to announce the good news unambiguously, “That’s right, Mr. McNeal, I have gotten myself an oil field!”

At Mr. McNeal’s age, he was naturally familiar with the difficult years of oil production in Somerland.

At that time, Somerland was facing a long period of oil shortage. Those people from the United States and the United Kingdom even tried to take advantage of the theory that Somerland had no oil in the international market so they could sell oil to Somerland!

Everyone in Somerland felt elated the day King Petroleum successfully produced oil. Therefore, Mr. McNeal was undoubtedly relieved to hear Jasper’s news.

He replied with two words over the phone, “Not bad!”

Jasper went on to say, “Although what I got is only a small oil field, which is not worth mentioning to outsiders, at least I have the initial foundation.”

Mr. McNeal encouraged Jasper and said, “Jasper, I know what you are capable of. Now that you have established a firm foothold in Qari, your future will definitely be limitless! I also believe that you will have good news to tell me in the future!”

Having said that, Mr. McNeal changed his mind.

“But I also know that if you call me, you must have something else to say, right?”

Jasper shook his head with a helpless smile, Mr. McNeal could see through his thoughts every time. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

”That’s right, Mr. McNeal. I met Murik, the president of the local Petroleum Chamber of Commerce. He told me about the latest testing protocol issued by the International Petroleum Organization… I have a feeling that something is not right, so I hope you can help me find out and see if this is true or not.”

After Jasper finished speaking, Mr. McNeal also realized the importance of the matter:

“Somerland is also a member state in the International Petroleum Organization, it should be easy to find out.”

Jasper waited patiently, and after several hours, Mr. McNeal finally called back.

“Jasper, the minister of the Petroleum Organization personally assured me that there is no such thing!”

It finally dawned on Jasper and he cursed secretly. “I see, I knew it was fake! It seems that someone is trying to play some dirty tricks.”

Mr. McNeal had not hung up the phone yet, he continued, “Jasper, the minister told me that both old and new tests require the use of test reagents. As long as it can be proved that the test kit is fake, the lie will be self-defeating. As long as you can find a chemical laboratory with some qualifications and recgnition, you will be able to test it.”

Jasper nodded seriously and reassured Mr. McNeal, “I got it, Mr. McNeal. It’s so great to have this important news! Don’t worry, I can handle everything from here!”

Jasper hung up, rubbing his chin in thought.
