Jobav had heard from others how Lance had managed to deal with the stubborn Mr. Anderson for Alberto, leaving a positive impression on him. Occasionally, in social settings, he even mentioned this incident in conversation.
He had been keeping an eye on Lance, and today presented a good opportunity to probe further—especially since he faced similar issues himself.

Alberto had provided Lance with the initial funds to start his business and helped him expand his connections in Jingang City. Even though Alberto’s “assignments” didn’t pay much, Lance still accepted them.
