Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 330

All the board members had inexplicable looks on their faces. If they came to fire those people personally, they would probably turn against them and become enemies.

Their reaction wasn't far from what Jacob had imagined before he called this meeting.

"It's just a reduction of staff. They should have thought of this possibility when they first entered the company. The risk of getting fired at work is always there. You're not to blame."

Jacob remained indifferent.

"But sir, we can't be at ease thinking that they would lose their source of income. I'm not the only one who thinks this way. All of us do."

"That's right, sir. Do you really have to do it? The company can assign someone to terminate their contracts. If we will be the ones to do that, we might be in trouble. Don't you think so?"

The board members still had a lot to say, but no one dared to speak up anymore. After all, it was obvious that Jacob had already made up his mind, and no one could change it anymore.

It was useless to argue, but some board members still didn't want to give up on this matter.

"I know that this seems to be a little hard to do. But I know that you can do it. Once you've done it, it will be counted in the annual performance. The company won't forget your sacrifices."

Surprisingly, Jacob looked so calm in this situation. Maybe it was because he had already thought this over several times.

Nothing could change his mind. The only thing he had to worry about was how to carry it out.

Meanwhile, the board members still looked at Jacob with helpless eyes. How could he ask the directors to do such a difficult thing?

"But Mr. Jacob..."

Some of the board members were itching to have a try again. They felt that there was still a turning point in this matter. But Jacob sat there motionlessly, which made everyone lose confidence.

During the whole conversation, James only remained silent. Back then, if the company had any announcement or anything that needed to be executed, it was James who always declared it.

But since Jacob thought that he should take responsibility for his own idea, he decided to declare it himself in front of the board members.

It was a tricky matter. No matter who said it out, the person would nonetheless offend so many people. Even so, Jacob knew he should be the one to do it, no matter how difficult it would be.

If he turned a blind eye every time there was a problem, it might put the company at stake. Therefore, he would rather face the problem and get over with it as soon as possible for the sake of the company.

When he figured that the conversation was over, James lowered his head. At the same time, he wondered why Jonathan behaved strangely today. Why didn't he object?

But on second thought, it was only understandable. After all, only a few people relied on him to enter the company, and he didn't care much about such things.

The only thing he cared about was his ambition to become the CEO. When James thought of this, he was relieved. "I know you are dissatisfied with this matter, but I hope you can think more about the company. I know that there are no easier way to explain this, but I hope you can put the overall situation first."

Glancing at the people in the room, Jacob refused to give in.

After all, if he decided to compromise, the meeting would be meaningless. In addition to that, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

This was why Jacob had to be ruthless and be firm with the reason why he called for this meeting.

Everyone except Jacob lowered their heads in silence.

This was probably the hardest thing that they had to do at work. When they hired those people, they were so grateful. Now that those people were going to lose their jobs, there would probably be a lot of complaints.

The worst part was, not only the relatives of the directors would be affected, but also the old employees of the company. Such a thing was simply unimaginable.
