Of course, Cindy didn't regret at all that she had refused Alice's offer to be Jonathan's assistant in the Shi Group. Although the working environment and salary here were really different from before.
But Cindy always believed that Jacob would lead her to a bright future. No, she would create a bright future with Jacob.
With such expectations, Cindy could always be calm no matter what happened. Because she knew that Jacob would solve all the problems.
"Of course, you may wonder why my attitude changed so fast. Our lives are only a few decades. If we haven't fought for what we want, how could we know if we could success or not?"
Earl's words were like a bomb. No one knew what happened to Earl, but there were still people who were confused when they saw Earl's attitude changed so greatly.
Jacob fixed his eyes on Earl, he was also surprised by Earl's words. But it was undeniable that Earl was indeed different from most people.
Even in his age, Earl still had a dream. Perhaps none of the young people present had such a passion like him had.
"Earl, we don't want to talk about dream. We just think that we should have full consideration before making a decision. Even if the company would end up bankruptcy, we don't want it to struggle before it comes to its end. "
Some young men stood up and retorted. They no longer believed in the word "dream". The reason why they went to work every day was to make a living. The burden of daily expense was as heavy as the burden of fulfilling dreams.
Jacob squinted his eyes. He didn't plan to say anything. He was just observing the emotions of everyone present showed right now. It was quite strange. When you really calmed down and observed the surrounding situation, you would find out that many things seemed to be what you imagined.
"Full consideration? Tell me what is full consideration? Do we really need some perfect plans to achieve something? Then tell me, if the company shut down because it refuses to transform, will you look for another job? It's a good thing to settle with the current situation, but we have to know when to make changes. "
Earl had nothing much to say. When he said that, he didn't even look at Jacob.
He knew that there was no need for Jacob to hold this meeting to explain to them. If it were any other CEO, he would just fire those who had objection about the company's transformation.
People always have to know their own place. Sometimes, others respect you doesn't mean that you can push your luck. The higher you climbed, the greater would be your fall. Earl knew this better than anyone else.
Therefore, many people were always willing to submit to others. It was not that they couldn't climb up, but that they got used to inferior position. Because the risk was low when they lay low.
People looked at each other in dismay. What Earl asked just pointed out their true thoughts. They didn't want to quit their current job, nor did they want to make any changes.
To put it bluntly, they hoped that the company could maintain the current situation. Although some of them wanted to make some changes, the attraction of changes was far less than the determination to protect themselves.
Jacob coughed slightly. The vibe became even weirder. No one spoke or even moved. Everyone paused like a sculpture.
Someone said in a low voice, while Jacob's eyebrows frowned all the time. This was probably the first meeting that he didn't need to care about win or lost.
"You don't have to worry about this. The company will find a suitable position for all of you, and the previous business will not be changed. The market department and the financial department would remain the same. It will have no impact to you. The rules are the same. "
Jacob spread out his hands to make everyone relaxed. The voices of objection and doubt were reducing, because after hearing Jacob's answer clearly, everyone felt relieved.
"Well, so that's it?" Jacob took a look at everyone present. He didn't say too much in the meeting. Instead, he just made some conclusion when they were needed, but the effect was much better than when he said all the time.
"Mr. Jacob, are we really not going to be fired?"
Some people were still worried. They didn't know where the rumor came from. It had been spreading in the company, but no one could come out to confirm for it.
Jacob put his hand on his chest and said seriously, "Don't worry, everyone. The company won't fire any hard-working staff. It's better to train an experienced old employee than to find a new one. Please have faith on this company. This company's development can't live without your efforts. "
All the people present breathed a sigh of relief. They were relieved after heard what Jacob promised. At least, Jacob didn't say anything unpleasant, but reassured everyone and gave them a promise.
Jacob took a deep breath and watched them leave the meeting room one after another. He had lost count of how many meetings like this one had taken in his life. Jacob recalled the first time he had a meeting.
