Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 315

There was still something that was rather unclear.

And Jacob realized that it was just the beginning of how things were going to be.

"Yes, you can guess by his attitude. He was the one who pushed the other directors to stir up trouble. So please take a moment to mentally prepare yourself before you deal with him. I would say the same for you too, Cindy."

Saying that, James coughed and stumbled.

"Yes, Uncle James, I understand. Say no more, now that I am here. And don't worry, I already told you that I have a solution, didn't I?"

Jacob said with a bright smile. He seemed thrilled. He was a lot different from others in terms of looks as well as his mannerisms.

Once the elevator reached the destined floor, Jacob got off and strode forward confidently.

The noisy group of directors became quiet the moment they saw him enter the room.

"Mr. Jacob! Looks like you're finally here..." One of the director's voice came, making the entire room go silent.

People were discussing about the developments and the solution to the problem, but they all became quiet the moment he spoke.

Jacob walked in, glancing at each person seated in the conference room. Everyone was respectfully seated at their usual seat, except for Jonathan.

Jonathan had his legs on the conference table with a smirk, which made him look rude and pompous.

All of a sudden, he clapped his hands loudly.

Everyone immediately turned to look at him. Jonathan was the first person who had dared to do such a thing.

"What's up? Has our CEO returned victorious?" Jonathan mocked, his contemptuous gaze fixed on Jacob.

Without saying a word to him, Jacob sat down with a calm expression. He then turned to look at Jonathan.

"What? You're the CEO, so can't you at least give us an explanation?" Jonathan retorted with a smug smile.

Anything that could be a threat to Jacob's position as the CEO was entertaining for him.

However, his sarcasm had already exposed his true intentions.

According to the other directors who were there, he did not seem noble or capable. Jonathan was a bold man with an attitude. He was even bold enough to stand up against any ruler, but he was stupid enough to think that he was better than everyone else.

There were some people who approved of his actions and his mannerisms, because they believed that a person who could do great things could have minor flaws. According to them, Jonathan was a person with minor flaws, which he did not care about.

Everyone had different opinions about him.

Jacob looked at Jonathan and then at everyone else as he tried his best to suppress his anger.

However, he thought that it was probably not the best time for him to throw Jonathan out of the company by firing him because that would only make him seem cheap to the other directors and he could not afford to let that happen for the time being.

Hence, he decided to stay calm for a while longer.

"I'm still dealing with the issue that we're facing. As for the source of the leak, we will be looking into it soon enough." Although Jacob's voice was not too loud, everyone heard him clearly.

Most of the people present nodded to show him their support. However, some understood that things were about to get much worse.

Jacob did not take the issue any further, but he took a moment to cast a glance at everyone in the room.

"I don't think it matters the way you found out about it. You all should be concerned about what solution I offer for the problem and how the company gets through it. I hope that everyone here loves the company and is devoted to it. Or at least, that's what I want to believe."

Jacob paused to look at James, who was sitting next to him.

James stood up and said, "If anyone has come up with a good solution, you may step forward. Any useful information that could help the company will get a reward."

In agreement with Jacob's words, James glanced at everyone present. And the deal was made.

Cindy looked quite serious, After all, she was the very reason such a thing had happened in the first place, so she was the one who knew how big of a deal the problem was.

However, fortunately for her, Jacob was not mad at her. And Cindy was grateful for it. If it had been anyone else in his position, they would have gotten angry and would not have waited for that long.

There was just silence in the room. No one spoke, and none of them were ready to step forward.

Jacob glanced at some of the most outstanding people at Shi Group. They were all really talented. But even they could not offer a solution, which disappointed Jacob.

"Are you guys clueless or are you afraid to speak up? Whatever it is, you need to start talking, someone has to..." Jacob stood up, looking serious.

"I think we'd better find Kim first and see if we can recover it. After all, he is the one responsible for this... He is the reason we're in this situation."

After observing everyone in the room, one of the older directors stepped forward.

His words were like the first ray of sunshine, after which everyone started to talk.
