At this time, the Gu family also learned that Emily had become the spokesperson of the company.
The first one who disagreed with this appointment was Nelson.
Nelson didn't like Emily and thought that she always came off as a bit sketchy. She was young but had a devious character.
On the contrary, he liked Melinda very much. He thought she was gentle and sensible, and she was always obedient.
Nelson had intended to appoint Melinda as the company's spokesperson. She was beautiful, lovely, pure and kindhearted, and she was more suitable to be a company's image spokesperson than Emily.
But Nelson had never thought that Emily would be chosen as the spokesperson of the company from right under his nose without his consent.
Nelson was angry beyond reproach after he realized who their choice was. He didn't understand why they had settled on Emily as the spokesperson and not Melinda.
Therefore, an outraged Nelson instantly thought of Jonas. His grandson was the CEO of the company, so he was going to ask him for an explanation and to immediately replace the spokesperson.
There was no way Nelson would allow Emily to be the spokesperson of the company.
Therefore, Nelson urgently called Jonas and asked him to come back home immediately.
After receiving a call from Nelson, Jonas did not waste any time, and quickly went back home.
When he entered the living room, he saw Nelson sitting on the sofa impatiently waiting for him.
Meanwhile, Jonas slowly strolled to the sofa opposite where Nelson was sitting and sat down.
Looking at the serious expression on Nelson's face, Jonas could tell that he was burning with anger deep in his heart. He figured that he would know soon. His grandfather must have something important to tell him since he had asked him to come home urgently.
"Grandpa, what is so important that you had to call me back? What do you want to tell me?"
Jonas asked after hesitating for a while. He didn't want to offend the old man and blow off his fuse.
Nelson still didn't say anything, but looked at him seriously as if trying to choose his words carefully.
"What's wrong? Grandpa, is everything okay?" asked Jonas starting to panic a little bit since he thought it might be Nelson's health.
"Go back to the company and change the spokesperson you just appointed,"
Nelson said, with uncontrollable anger in his voice.
Jonas didn't understand why his grandpa was so upset with Emily being appointed as the spokesperson of his company.
So he asked in confusion, "Why, what's wrong with the current appointment? Grandpa, why are you so opposed to Emily being the spokesperson? Isn't Emily good enough for the post? Why do you suddenly want me to change her?"
"I have no reason she is simply not suitable to be a spokesperson and a representative of the company's image, so I want you to change the spokesperson immediately,"
Nelson answered him firmly, leaving no room for discussion so Jonas realized he really couldn't change his mind although he would try.
"But Grandpa, I don't think it's a good idea to change Emily so soon after making a public announcement."
Jonas still tried to negotiate with his grandfather so that he didn't have to replace Emily, but Nelson objected vehemently.
"What's wrong with you? I thought we have finished this discussion and I have asked you to fire her. Haven't you been listening to your grandfather?"
Nelson's reply blocked Jonas's mid-sentence and he had to reluctantly agree to his grandfather's demands.
Now that he was sitting face to face with his grandfather, he couldn't refuse. It wasn't like if they were speaking on phone and he could pretend that he was busy and hadn't heard him well.
"Okay,"
Jonas agreed finally.
Hearing his positive response, Nelson was no longer looking so serious. He smiled in delight and said, "No wonder you are my favorite grandson."
Meanwhile, Jonas went back to the company and informed the company's senior officials that they had decided to change the spokesperson and Emily's services would no longer be needed.
The senior officials in the company were all confused when they heard the news. They didn't understand why Jonas would make such a decision all of a sudden.
Therefore, the senior officials of the company all went to find Jonas and question why he had changed his mind all of a sudden. It was not a good time to keep changing public statements and people they had appointed into new positions.
Jonas had no choice but to stand by that decision because it was made by his grandfather and he could not contradict his grandfather.
Jonas felt helpless. Even though he was the CEO of the company, he still had to report to his grandfather who basically controlled every decision he made.
Even when his grandfather asked him to change the spokesperson of the company at once, he couldn't do anything about it and had to do as he was told like a little boy.
Jonas felt heavy in his heart because he had to make a difficult choice.
One was the fact that he had to consider his grandpa who had a tough attitude, and the other was to make a consideration for a woman that he once liked. Now his grandpa was asking him to change the spokesperson, which was a really difficult choice to make but he had no other easier options.
He had to listen to his grandfather.
Therefore, Jonas decided to change the spokesperson for the company after thinking through his options and coming up with no better idea.
Jonas felt that he was a loser and a puppet in the company because he couldn't even make any decision. As long as Nelson asked him to do something, he had no choice but to comply with his demands.
Thinking of his decision, Jonas felt guilty about Emily, who had to be replaced by another person, for no good reason except for the mere fact that his grandpa disliked her.
Just as he was in deep thought, his cell phone vibrated on the table, alerting him that he had a call from Emily.
When he saw Emily's name on the screen, Jonas was raked with a new wave of guilt. He didn't know whether he should answer it or not.
But at last, Jonas decided to pick up the phone and face the consequences of his actions.
