Thompson had been waiting inside the club for a long time. When he saw that Jonathan came in, he just puffed his cigarette and didn't utter a word.
The smoke surrounded the whole room. Jonathan just grimaced and didn't throw a glance at Thompson.
"How long have you've been waiting here?"
Jonathan was stunned for a while when he looked at Thompson and saw that his ashtray was already full.
"Not that long. What happened? You sounded off while speaking on the phone earlier. Jacob did something again?" Thompson's mouth corners lifted. He already had an idea of what had happened.
"You bet. Jacob attended the banquet today and we met each other. He looks so damn good. I talked to him for a while, but guess what? He didn't even listen to me. He's so determined to destroy the Shi Group."
Jonathan sat beside Thompson and took out a cigarette. He lit it and started smoking.
Jonathan leaned his back to his seat and put his legs on the table next to him. He looked so slovenly. Thompson had always despised Jonathan even before, but he didn't say anything.
It seemed to be one of the habits he had developed and got used to when he was in his childhood days. So Jonathan didn't bother to change himself. Of course, some habits were really hard to change.
So even if Thompson despised Jonathan, he would not dare to say it aloud. He just believed that Jacob had more capabilities than Jonathan.
Nevertheless, no matter how capable Jacob was, he still wanted to find a way to beat him.
Thompson thought about it and comforted Jonathan, "Well, I believe that you already heard about the saying that all businessmen are profiteers. Profits are the most valuable thing for the businessman more than anything else."
"I know that. But I just don't really like Jacob's guts. He set me up and put me in a critical situation. Now I get it. It was a trap. He resigned from the company so he could trap me."
When he heard Jonathan said those words annoyingly, Thompson thought about it.
'Or you are thinking that Jacob would easily give up the company to you? Do you really think that you're that powerful?'
Even though Thompson thought about it, he decided to change the topic.
"But if you didn't know, there's still a way. Jacob is just working in Sara's company. So what if he is a good talker? He's still weak and doesn't have enough power. We don't have to compare them to the powerful Shi Group. Their small company has no advantage because they are not that popular."
Thompson blinked and directed his look to Jonathan. Jonathan was a complete idiot and he just didn't want to say anything about it. Everything was already settled, but he was ruining it little by little.
He had no one to blame for. When Jacob decided to leave the Shi Group, he shouldn't have thought about ruining the company.
But now, the Shi Group was in danger and slowly sinking. Jonathan should blame himself for the current situation and not anyone else.
However, if Jonathan was a wise man, Thompson thought that it was too risky for him to fully conspire with Jonathan. After all, cooperating with someone who was far more clever than him was not a good thing.
Jonathan had to face all the responsibilities in his life.
"Tell me, what way?" Jonathan suddenly felt nervous as he heard Thompson.
The reason why he decided to meet Thompson was to find a way for Jacob's downfall. Thompson was indeed a smart person. He just mentioned the topic Jonathan wanted to know.
"Jacob is taking the risk and keeps on pushing himself to his limit just to achieve his goal. I can say that Jacob has been acting so boldly now. But if we would cut off his source of courage and strength, he will never make it to rise again."
