Clayton did not answer.
Instead, he kept her in suspense. |You’II know when you go and see. Don’t go alone. Take your friends with you. It’s very safe there.]
Nicole replied. [Okay.]
She looked at the address. She had not been there before and was a bit unfamiliar with it. She did not know what that place was used for.
It really aroused her curiosity.
The preparations for the press conference had come to an end.
This time, it was also a live broadcast.
The person sitting in the middle was still Jacob Cook.
However, the person watching from below had changed from Nicole to Grant.
Jacob drank three bottles of water before he went on stage, but he still could not help but feel nervous and shaky.
He was not even this nervous when Nicole was around. It was killing him.
Seeing more and more reporters file in and the number of cameras increasing, Jacob still could not overcome his nervousness when it was about to begin.
Nicole was connected to the scene from the Stanton Mansion and watched the setup.
When the camera swept over Jacob, Nicole suddenly said, “
Stop—”
The screen was fixed in Jacob’s direction.
Nicole squinted her eyes for a few seconds. Her expression was gloomy.
Although Nicole had already known that Jacob’s abilities had run out long before he turned thirty, she was still willing to allow him to stay in Stanton Corporation.
It was not because there was no one to replace his position, but because she did not want to give the old employees the illusion that she would get rid of someone after they served their purpose.
However, why was Jacob’s performance getting worse? Nicole called Grant.
Grant was sitting below and talked to his assistant about today’s Q&A session.
The questions were tricky and each one of them hit the main point, but only in this way could the netizens’ empathy and sympathy be aroused.
They could not just use questions in the direction that favored Stanton Corporation.
Consumers and netizens were most concerned about their personal interests.
Therefore, the main aspect of the questions would be on the issue of the building materials’ quality.
Grant’s tone was calm as he picked up the call. “Hello?”
“Grant, did Jacob encounter anything recently? He doesn‘t look like he’s in the right state of mind.”
Grant looked up, glanced at the sweaty Jacob on stage, and frowned slightly.
His sharp eyes instantly turned cold.
“He’s always like that. I’ll switch him out with someone else.”
“Wait. It’s too late to get someone else now. The person who knows this project best is Jacob. How about this? I’ll give him a call later and ask him about it. When this matter is over, you can come back and transfer him back to headquarters. I’ll assign someone else to take over.”
Grant was silent for a few seconds. His expression was cold.
He nodded in agreement. “Mm, transfer him in my name.” Nicole said, “Okay.”
Grant meant well. This way, the decision was made by Grant and had nothing to do with Nicole.
Nicole said, “Pay attention to the scene. If Jacob is too unreliable, you’ll have to go up personally and save the show…”
Grant agreed and hung up the phone.
He looked at Jacob with a dark gaze and stared at him.
Jacob took a sip of water. His eyes swept in Grant’s direction.
When he saw Grant looking at him, Jacob was so scared that he almost choked to death from that sip of water.
The next second, when Jacob looked back again, Grant had already turned around to continue explaining the process to the people around him.
Jacob took a breath, and his phone suddenly rang. It was from Nicole.
He immediately picked it up respectfully. “Ms. Stanton?”
Jacob immediately stood up to speak. His posture was humble without the slightest hint of arrogance.
Grant caught sight of this and frowned slightly.
He suddenly felt a little astonished.
