Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 424

For the past few years of his life, Jonathan had lived in the shadow of his cousin. During those times he thought Jacob was having a great time being the CEO, but now that he sat in this position, he finally knew why he was nothing compared to his cousin.

How could he be better than Jacob when he chose to have an easy and comfortable life instead of working hard? While people were enduring hardship to get to where they were, he was still uncertain about his position.

It even came to a point where Jonathan thought that the world was being unfair to him.

But who was he kidding? He caused his own problems! He could have spent the past few years of his life working hard, but all he did was complain and blame others, which was why he hadn't learned anything except hypocrisy.

Fortunately, he thought it was not too late for him to start learning. Looking at the puzzled look on Thompson's face, he couldn't help but be a little pissed off.

"How to cooperate? You tell me. We'd better discuss about the investment later. After all, the working capital was the most important part for the jewelry industry. If anything goes wrong, my money will become a commodity that I can't sell. That will be a huge loss, right?"

With his legs crossed, Thompson glanced at Jonathan, obviously not taking his words seriously.

"Hey! If you want to work with me, show some respect. I won't be the one to please you. Besides, it's you who came to me. I want to know what's in it for me."

As they spoke, Jonathan raised his head and crossed his arms, looking confident and arrogant.

But Thompson was not impressed at all. In fact, he even hated it. He thought people who were not capable to help him had no right to be arrogant.

Even so, Thompson faked a smile. Then he stood up, and slowly walked towards Jonathan.

"You must be kidding, Mr. Jonathan. My attitude totally depends on you. If you think you are the one in charge, then I have to refuse to cooperate with you."

"You!"

Shock was written all over Jonathan's face. He thought he wouldn't have a hard time making Thompson agree to cooperate with him since he was now the CEO of the Shi Group.

But it turned out that he intended to ask more than just a simple favor. Obviously, Thompson was targeting his weakness, not giving him a chance to object.

Jonathan was shocked and then he came to his sense, realizing that his attitude was indeed a little inappropriate. Technically, Thompson was not working under him. He was going to be his partner.

However, Jonathan had made the situation so embarrassing that he couldn't find the right words to say. He only looked at Thompson with an unreadable expression.

"Alright, for now I will let it slip. But next time, be careful with the words you say and the way you speak. Not everyone is working for you."

This time, Jonathan didn't dare to retort.

Now that he had become the CEO, he realized that his situation only got worse. At least when he was still a director, he could do everything he wanted to do.

Because now, he had no choice but to stay in his office and study countless documents every day.

Only then did he realize that being a CEO was more difficult than he thought it would be. It had only been a few days since he had sat in this position, yet he was already disgusted with his job.

But regardless of all the hardship, Jonathan was still holding on to his dream of becoming the CEO of this company.

"You are right. I have been thoughtless. I hope you won't take my words seriously. And please help me with the investment."

Maybe it was because he knew that the person in front of him was far different from his cousin that he immediately changed his behavior. If Jacob tolerated whatever he said, Thompson wouldn't. Thinking of this, Jonathan couldn't help but admire Jacob.
