Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 323

Jacob had been waiting from 8 AM to 11 AM. Except for him and James, nobody else knew about this meeting.

As Jacob turned around, he saw Mr. Wang walking hurriedly towards him. Beside him were his two assistants.

Jacob looked at Mr. Wang, who smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

Then, Jacob stretched out his hand and motioned Mr. Wang to sit down. "It's okay. It's not yet too late anyway. You must've had something very important to deal with."

"Yes, you're right. Our company is also bothered by the contract. The board of directors has just discussed it, and everyone is paying close attention."

With a solemn look on his face, Mr. Wang sat down in front of Jacob.

"I understand. The consequence is serious. I apologize for that," Jacob said while nodding. On his face was a hint of guilt. He winked at James, who understood what he meant at once.

Almost immediately, James handed a folder to Mr. Wang, whose eyes turned wide in surprise. "What is this? I heard that the file was destroyed."

With a smile, Jacob explained, "We just said that to the public on purpose. In fact, we found it."

"That's good. Our senior executives have reached an agreement that if the file can't be retrieved, we'll have to make a new one for you," Mr. Wang remarked. He was clearly impressed by the turn of events.

The assistant next to him chimed in, "Mr. Wang worked hard for this after our last meeting."

"Ha-ha! Thank you so much, Mr. Wang." Jacob shook hands with him.

"It's okay. I think we can be friends. I've heard a lot about you. Everyone says that you're cold and arrogant. But when I talk to you, you're actually the opposite. Because of that, I figured that I should fight for our chance of cooperation."

Mr. Wang ended his note with a chuckle. Things were almost done there.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. I won't disappoint you. From now on, we're friends." Jacob was serious in his words. Meanwhile, James did not say a word.

"That's good then. I'm afraid I have to go. Remember to secure the document. Don't lose it again, okay?" Mr. Wang said sincerely.

"I understand, Mr. Wang. Take care. Wait. How about I invite you for lunch today?" Jacob looked at his wristwatch and checked the time. The clock had just struck past 12 o'clock in the noon.

"Thank you, but let's take a rain check. Although my job here is done, I have to go back to the company and report to the CEO about our agreement immediately. Take care, Mr. Jacob."

With that, Mr. Wang walked to the door. Before he left, he turned around and gave Jacob a faint smile.

"Alright. See you around, Mr. Wang," Jacob said calmly as he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not until Mr. Wang's figure disappeared that James stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Do you think that the information on this meeting is going to be leaked? If so, will the other directors think that you're really kind?"

"I'm doing this for the company. I'm sure everything is going to be alright. I believe Mr. Wang won't tell anyone about this. Don't worry, Uncle." Jacob lay back on the chair and heaved a sigh.

Meanwhile, James pondered for a moment. This matter was not something that anyone could control. Fortunately, Mr. Wang seemed an upright and trustworthy man, otherwise, he would not have fought for the sake of the Shi Group. They had no doubts about that.

Although it was worth investigating, it was better than nothing.

James turned around and was about to leave, but Jacob stopped him before he could even stand up. "Uncle, you've been working hard recently. I suggest you take a few days off. I'll take care of the company so you can rest. Besides, you haven't completely recovered from your cold. You should see a doctor."

James smiled and nodded in agreement. "Sounds good to me. I'm fine, but I got really busy with the company these past few days. I can really take some time off."

"That's good." Jacob watched James leave. For some reason, James' back looked rather sad.

He raised his hand to check the time again. Since the matter was already settled, it was now time for him to look for Sara.

The moment Jacob got out of the company, he felt the early spring sun shining on him. He felt warm and much better.

Looking back at the company building, the bold characters of the signage 'Shi Group' glinted in the sun.

Jacob's mouth curled into a satisfied smile, and he quickly got into his car.

Meanwhile, Jonathan was watching him in the distance. His eyes were full of anger and contempt.

"Boss, what should we do? We can't let our efforts be in vain," the man next to Jonathan said as he saw Jacob's car speed away. Like his boss, he was also disdainful.

"Sadly, there's nothing else we can do for now. Let's not talk about it," Jonathan replied. The frustration in his tone was apparent.
