A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

“The problem of the excess sodium content has already been solved by the KING Group. Almost all of their stores now have a station that monitors the sodium content of their products. I'm afraid that it won't be too convincing if we try to make a fuss about it.“ Jacob frowned when he heard it. He wasn't going to take that risk.

“Of course, we can use a different method this time,“ the editor-in-chief chief suggested, smiling at him. “Well, since they don't have this problem now, why don't you create some opportunities for yourself?“

“Are you saying that I should frame them for something else?“ Suddenly interested, Jacob raised a brow. He cast the editor-in-chief a curious glance.

“I didn't say anything like that,“ the editor-in-chief replied with a tight lip. From his tone, it seemed that he was offended by Jacob's words. In fact, he even turned around and prepared to leave.

“I apologize. I spoke without thinking,“ Jacob hurriedly said and lowered his head. New Age was the biggest news company in the country. Even though he rich was a rich and powerful man, he still did not dare to offend them.

After all, sometimes the pen was indeed mightier than the sword. One bad article about him or the company could prove to be troublesome.

Hearing his apology, the editor-in-chief sat back down and gave a genuine smile. He explained the details to Jacob. “The KING Group is now completely relying on their marketing and they've been pretty credible so far. You can write an article about their overuse of sodium, or you can ask someone to set up something in their factory. After you've done that, you can hire someone to specifically buy those faulty products.“

Honestly, there was no need for such an elaborate discussion because Jacob was already familiar with this method. The two of them smirked at each other as if they were both imagining the KING Group being destroyed.

That night, Jacob ordered someone to find a thief who had just been released from prison. He had his reasons for hiring this kind of person. First of all, he would already have a criminal record. Even if he was caught, people would not thoroughly investigate the people involved in his case. The police would simply think that the man had just committed the same crime that he was imprisoned for. Second, even if something else happened, Jacob could steer clear and nothing could ever be traced back to him. More importantly, those who had just gotten out of prison could be easily persuaded with money.

After being briefed about the task he needed to do, the ex-con set out to complete it. Sitting in his office, Jacob couldn't help but chuckle as he imagined what the headlines would talk about a few days later.

A few hours later, the phone rang as he had expected it to. Jacob couldn't hide the grin on his face as he picked it up. “How's it going? Were you successful?“ he asked.

The smile on Jacob's face quickly turned upside down when he heard the familiar, deep voice on the other end of the line. “Mr. Gu, it's really inappropriate for you to do this,“ Darren stated with a chuckle.
