Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 332 Dead Silence

The crowd fell into dead silence. The onlookers had already settled back down to their stations, and started to mind their own business. However, occasional glances could be observed as the confrontation between Jacob and those experienced employees continued for a while.

Although everyone wanted the scoop of what was to be the result of this matter, they knew that once Jacob had made his decision, there was no way to persuade him otherwise. This was all a futile activity—a total waste of effort.

But one couldn't really blame them for trying. If they succeeded somehow, it would have been beneficial for most of them. If they failed, at least they could give a warning to the other employees present.

As Jacob pondered in silence, he walked around back and forth as if also trying to scan the area. He glanced over at the stunned employees, and finally said, "I know you have done a lot for the company until now, and I'm aware of your fair share of contributions to keep this place running. Idlers, however, are not welcome in the company, but those who work hard will never go unrewarded. So, please, people. You have nothing to worry about. I will deal with this matter fairly and with utmost transparency."

The employees who heard his words never uttered a word in response, but one could tell how their hearts sank into despair. They didn't care about fairness and justice. What they hoped was for Jacob to reconsider his decision entirely.

Now it seemed that all hope was lost, and there was no way back for them. They knew that any further attempt would be a waste of time.

Jacob turned around, and left the area in silence, leaving the employees standing there in a daze.

As soon as he got back to his office, Jacob locked the door as his annoyance started to manifest in his otherwise stoic facial expression. He took out the list again and started crossing out names of people he didn't want to lose.

Since he couldn't possibly be generous to just basically everyone, he had to at least try his best to make everyone satisfied with how he would handle the matter with fairness.

He looked up as he lay back against the chair after crossing out some names. The calm demeanor returned to him again, but the waves of rage and intense emotions that were mixing up were roaring from inside his heart.

It was supposedly not that much of a deal for him to handle something like that, but he suddenly felt much tenser than he expected.

He called out for Cindy and ordered her to carry out the list to the directors. It was not until then that he knew that the show had only just begun.

Naturally, people might not have the courage to fire the person they recruited, but Jacob reminded himself that he did so to let others know how determined he was to set the company straight with his own ways.
