Jayesh: Dad. I got great news.
Dad: What is it?
Jayesh: I managed to secure the 2 pending bullet train projects of worth 100 million dollars, exclusively in our family's name.
Dad: What's the catch?
Jayesh: I suggested that we can also expedite the slum demolition process so that the project timeline can move faster. He liked my proposal and offered full cooperation along with the projects. This way we won't be lagging behind the Singhanias too much.
Dad: That's my son. You can take over the rest of the money as your own reward. I will call you after ten minutes.
Jayesh: Sure, Dad.]
