A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1479

"Mr. Gu, as we all know, the HT Group has never stepped foot into the food industry before. Furthermore, all of your existing industries have nothing to do with food. So why did you think it was a good idea to venture into this completely unknown territory?"

"When did this idea come into being?"

"Since you don't any experience with the food industry, don't you think it's too risky to make such a decision?"

"I'm sure that the HT Group would have made the necessary preparations. Can you tell us about the plans you made beforehand?"

"Mr. Gu, doesn't this decision imply that the current state of the other industries of the HT Group is nearing saturation?"

"The KING Group entered the food industry not long ago. Now, we have the HT Group joining them as well. Were their actions the reason for your decision, Mr. Gu?"

Every reporter there was eagerly asking questions nonstop. Although Jacob had expected that this press conference would definitely cause a widespread sensation, he still felt a bit irritated trying to answer all their questions. He had a somewhat displeased expression on his face. He looked toward Sam and his assistant immediately understood what he meant just by look of his eyes.

"Everyone, please calm down. Today's conference is o..."

Before he could finish his words, a loud, sharp voice came from the back of the crowd. "Just as one of my peers said, the KING Group recently entered the food industry. The HT Group soon followed. It seems like the HT Group and the KING Group enjoy ramming heads at each another. Doesn't that seem idiotic to you?"

As soon as that person finished her question, the room fell silent. Even a single camera shutter couldn't be heard. All the reporters turned around and looked at the woman who had asked such an audacious question.

They were completely stunned. The expressions on the reporters' faces were all over the place. Some were surprised, a few were disdainful, and some others admired her bravery. At that moment, almost everyone looked at her like she was a proud warrior of the past.

"Sorry, the press conference is over," Sam repeated and managed to settle everyone down just in the nick of time.

Even though he had acted decisively, even he was bewildered about what had just happened. It was the first time that he had seen someone dare to ask such a question in front of Jacob. The HT Group had a powerful grasp on this city. If someone offended Jacob and he wanted to get rid of that person, it would only take a snap of his fingers for him to do so.

When Jacob heard what the female reporter said, he was unfazed. The only thing that bothered him was whether she had come up with the question herself or if someone had sent her. He stared down the woman from head to toe with his cold-blooded eyes.

Jacob realized that he had never encountered her before in any of the other press conferences he had held.

"It's fine. Let her finish her question if she wants to," Jacob said in a serious tone. He directed his gaze straight into the eyes of the woman.

When she was allowed to go on, the female reporter's eyes flashed with complacency. In her mind, Jacob had already given his answer with the way he reacted.

"I happened to come across some information that you don't have the best relationship with Mr. Xu of the KING Group. With that said, Mr. Gu, could you please enlighten all of us about the reason why the HT Group chose to enter the food industry all of a sudden? Is it really just because you believe that there's a large amount of money to be made there or is it because you intentionally want to hinder the KING Group's development? Please tell us the truth."

Even though she hit the nail on the head with her question, Jacob remained composed and maintained the stoic expression he had had on his face since the beginning of the conference. He acted as if the question was just a common one he got from time to time.
