Jacob had never been so embarrassed before.
He snorted, "please step aside. It can't solve any problem if you surround me. Now the top priority is to
let me go back to the company and see what to do next."
The family members gradually calmed down. They didn't come to make trouble today, but just to get an
explanation. It would be good if Jacob could deal with it.
But at this time, a woman who received a phone call burst into tears. She just learned that her husband
had been confirmed to be dead in the explosion.
The shrill cries exploded in the air.
All of a sudden, many people seemed not to be lit up.
"Are you really going to let him go? It's rare for us to see him. No one knows when we can see him
again after he leave today. Do you really want him to leave?" Colin held a camera in his hand to incite
the crowd, and the woman beside him cried in a shrill voice.
He just wanted to embarrass Jacob. He couldn't miss such a good opportunity. If he missed this
chance, he had to wait for a long time to get another.
People surrounded Jacob again. The woman's crying infected the crowd. Colin was right. They might
not have the chance to see the CEO of the Shi Group face to face next time.
The crowd began to push and shove. Assistant Cindy, who was protecting Jacob, was trampled by a lot
of feet. More and more people came here. Suddenly, Cindy was pushed to the ground.
Jacob's anger was suppressed by himself again. "Enough, you guys."
Perhaps it was because his voice was too loud that everyone was stunned. They had forgotten that the
man in front of them was also a person with a temper.
"Are you angry from embarrassment?" Colin said sarcastically standing aside.
Jacob looked straight at him with disdain and contempt. His patience was about to reach its limit, and
Colin just recorded this moment. This was exactly what he wanted.
The angrier Jacob was, the more Colin liked him. It was a good stunt, and he could do anything for it
without hesitation.
Jacob frowned. He could tell what kind of occasion it was now. But when Cindy fell to the ground, his
face was really gloomy.
Sometimes, even passers-by would like to step in and watch the mess.
However, the bodyguards who were watching aside didn't dare to move forward. Since the boss didn't
say anything, they didn't dare to act rashly. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many reporters
here, they would have stepped forward to protect the boss.
"First of all, I'm sorry for the accident of the company. I hope everyone can calm down. I don't think
anyone wants to see such a thing happen. Second, even if you surround the CEO here, it's useless."
Assistant Cindy looked at the people around her seriously. Her hand, which had just been stepped on,
was still aching. But at this moment, she had to help the CEO out.
Even if Jacob might not need her now, she would try her best.
While they were talking, Jacob and she had walked near the door. Jacob walked in quickly. The
security guards finally came in handy. Cindy took a deep breath. It was a cold day and the wind had
been blowing for so long. However, sweat started to form on her forehead.
The reporters, family members and onlookers were still waiting at the door. They seemed to be full of
energy and tireless.
Regardless of her red hand which had been stepped on, Cindy pinched her fingers hard and said,
"what should we do, boss? Those reporters outside won't let it go."
"Let's wait and see. Now the most important thing is to comfort the family members and the public
relations in crisis." Jacob glanced at Cindy's hand. When she fell to the ground, her hand was stepped
on. He saw it clearly.
"Are you okay? How's your hand?" Jacob asked with concern. Cindy helped him out just now, and she
had tried her best to protect him. It was difficult for a female in such a situation.
"It doesn't matter." Cindy blushed, but she felt warm in her heart. At this moment, the CEO still had the
mood to care about her. It seemed that the CEO was also a warm-hearted person, although he always
looked cold in the appearance.
James was waiting in the hall. Seeing Jacob, he rushed up to him.
"How is it going, Uncle James?" Jacob asked in a calm tone. As the CEO, he couldn't panic at such a
moment. Only when he gave them strength could they remain calm.
"It's a little troublesome, but it's not impossible to solve it." James looked solemn. Such an accident
happened every day. But this time, it happened in their company.
"Yes, I know. There were a group of reporters outside just now. I couldn't come in until I was entangled
with them for a long time." Jacob said with a frown.
"Yes, I saw it, but I didn't ask anyone to take compulsive measures. After all, the two most difficult
people to mess with now are the police and the media." James squinted his long and narrow eyes, as if
he was deep in thought.
In the network society, the media could tell the black as white, and vice versa. Moreover, they would
hire a large number of paid supporters. In short, they were one of the most difficult people to deal with.
Jacob walked straight forward without any hesitation.
"Inform the board to have a meeting." He turned to Cindy and ordered.
"Boss, the directors are already waiting in the meeting room." Cindy replied.
"Good job." Jacob nodded. He was relieved to have Cindy as his assistant.
"Are there any abnormalities of the directors?" Jacob entered the elevator, expressionless. In the
elevator, the three people stood together. The atmosphere was inexplicably depressing.
'Abnormalities? What on earth was abnormal?'
James seemed to have made up his mind. "Some directors seem to be dissatisfied with this matter and
have argued for a long time in the meeting. They want you to show up right now."
Jonathan's face immediately appeared in Jacob's mind. How could his good cousin remain silent at
such a critical moment?
Jacob narrowed his eyes, with a hint of viciousness in them. Mercy to the enemy was cruelty to
oneself.
Especially to those who regarded him as the number one enemy, Jacob had been too kind in the past.
Walking to the door of the meeting room, Cindy held her breath. She had just spent too much energy
downstairs.
But now, she had to calmly follow the CEO into the office. It could be seen that the CEO was very calm,
which made her feel much relieved.
Opening the door, Jacob walked in slowly. During the whole process, he only cast a glance at the
directors present.
Then he sat on the CEO's seat. Jonathan gave him a hard look. Why could Jacob sit in that seat
instead of himself?
"Something happened in the company, but the CEO was not present. Mr. Jacob, are you too careless
about the company's affairs?" Jonathan said sarcastically. He couldn't wait to see how embarrassed
Jacob was.
James glanced at Jonathan. Actually the directors that he was talking about were Jonathan.
"Have you discussed how to solve this problem?" Jacob ignored him directly. It was not appropriate to
argue with Jonathan today.
There was nothing more than ignorance to show one's contempt for another! Jonathan's face turned
blue and pale. The directors who had the same thought as him didn't say anything.
"Jacob, you should give us an explanation. It's your fault to have such a big trouble in the company."
Jonathan deliberately raised his voice. He couldn't stand being ignored.
