Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Jonathan was starting to learn that running a company wasn't a piece of cake. When Jacob was the one who managed it, he made it look extremely easy.

Therefore, to an onlooker, an illusion of ease was shown. Jonathan had assumed anyone could do it.

However, the reality was rather complex. In this short period of time, Jonathan had learned that running a company wasn't easy nor was making money out of it.

Now that he was actually in Jacob's position, it dawned on him that he wasn't as capable as he had thought. This realization made him feel vulnerable. He chose to ignore Alice when he saw her.

He couldn't bear to tell her about it. If he did, he was certain she would laugh at his incompetence. Jonathan was already going through a lot. The last thing he wanted was to get mocked!

In spite of all this, Jonathan was eager to prove he was better than Jacob. He wouldn't give up just yet. When all the elite employees proposed to resign, Jonathan agreed unhesitatingly. He did this in order to save his face.

After all, there was no point in forcing anyone to stay. If they wished to leave, they were free to do so. Then, he hired a set of new employees, offering them the same amount of money he had given to his previous employees.

To his utter disappointment, these newcomers weren't very competent. Every time Jonathan was around them, he couldn't help but think they weren't suitable for the job.

Deep down, he knew that was the case with himself as well. He wasn't fit for the position of CEO.

This thought was what stopped him from finding too many faults with the newcomers. He told himself with time they would get better.

One after another, the company's orders began to go wrong. And a big problem presented itself before Jonathan. A foreign technical factory that had previously cooperated with the company decided to bail on them.

They refused to provide new technology to the Shi Group and also stopped updating the company's equipment. All this led him to become restless.
