Ex-wife, Please Come Back

As Jacob noticed the look on everyone's faces, he readied himself to move on to the next topic. Nobody dared to speak. They all sat at the edge of their seats, anxious about what he would say next.

Jacob had seen this scene over a hundred times before. However, this was the first time he had asked them to choose. Perhaps what he was showing today was his new side, the side whom nobody had ever seen.

Everyone's impression of Jacob would probably change and get worse in the future. Nevertheless, Jacob did not care. These people were dissatisfied with him, were they not? If so, regardless of how ridiculous his plan seemed, they had no choice but to accept it.

The directors stared at Jacob in awe. They were dumbfounded, and it seemed as though they almost forgot to breathe. Even so, nobody questioned him.

"To put it simply, the company will let them stay no matter how many they are. But of course, there's a catch. The company will give in, but someone will have to make a sacrifice."

As soon as Jacob finished speaking, an uproar suddenly erupted in the room. The directors discussed their opinions all at once. Jacob, however, gazed at them with satisfaction.

After a few minutes, the directors finally had a grasp of what Jacob had said. A sacrifice? The competition was fierce in the workplace. Since he had mentioned that word, an idea occurred to them suddenly.

"What sacrifice?" someone asked fearlessly. His father-in-law was working for the company as well. If the company continued to lay off employees, he would definitely leave a bad impression on his father-in-law.

"The company can only afford to pay the employees half of the salary. Those who had invited them will pay for the rest instead. As you all know, the company is in a dire situation right now."

Jacob spoke indifferently as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with himself.

Everyone burst into an uproar again. Meanwhile, Cindy stared at Jacob with wide eyes. His idea was so good that it disproved everyone's arguments. Jacob was letting them decide for themselves. Almost instantly, he presented such a difficult problem to everyone present.
