Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 416

Looking at the files on the table, Jacob heaved a heavy sigh. The documents were so many it seemed as though his desk was too small for him. However, he believed that although everything in front of him felt overwhelming, it could be a door of opportunity.

If he did a great job, he could enjoy his success in the future. On the other hand, if he did not, he would have to live a miserable life.

At the thought of this, Jacob cheered himself up. Working in the same company as Sara had its own advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages was seeing Sara all the time. The downside of it was that he might not be able to distinguish between public and private interests.

Jacob believed that that was possible.

After all, men are easily influenced by the woman whom they love.

Jacob examined the company's accounts and status and could not help but let out a sigh.

It seemed that it was a big blow to the company when he withdrew his investment. Until now, the company was still suffering the repercussions and still had not returned to its peak. What was more, because of him, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Its performance had not improved, and orders were declining.

This was a production company. Jacob knew how difficult it was to produce and make steady produce. Not to mention, the selection of standard materials and talents was very important.

Purchase and production seem to be two easy steps. However, they are actually complicated procedures that can cause confusion in many people. Little do they know, the first process alone is not easy.

This process is not only about purchasing per se. It is also about the person who does the purchase and his ability to pick the right materials. This process itself is enough to make people exhausted.

Besides, there are also things in the market that have to be meticulously selected. If the quality of the product is not good enough, it is not only embarrassing but also inconvenient.

The companies that process raw materials face difficult situations. Ironically, Carlos' company was the one that dealt with this.

Fortunately, the production of daily necessities is not that difficult. The machinery that they use is not hard to operate. Despite that, the profit was thin, and the company could barely survive.

The production industry is no different than that of the catering industry. Making a high profit is, if not impossible, extremely difficult. Jacob also looked at the materials on the table and sighed for the second time.

An idea suddenly occurred to him. He reached out for a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote something on it.

Yes, he was writing a transformation plan. He planned on outsourcing the production process to an outsourcing company. By doing so, the company would have enough time to transform and upgrade.

However, what Jacob was worried about was the quality. Because of this, he stated clearly what the company should do next.

Once he was done writing, he checked the complete plan to see if there was something he had missed. As he reread it, he realized that his proposition was veered towards changing the company's operating model. This made Jacob frown. He felt that his plan would definitely be questioned by many people.

Moreover, there must be someone who was questioning Sara why she invited him to the company. Jacob was convinced about this. Nevertheless, he had found a way to make that person, who was doubting him, shut up.

His premise was that he would push the company to great heights. Only by seeing the effects could he put an end to their skepticism.

It was already noon when he finished. The blank paper from a while ago was now smeared and densely filled with words.

Jacob was probably the only one who could understand what he had written. As if in a daze, he could not stop staring at his proposal.

All of a sudden, a knock came at the door. "Come in," he said absentmindedly.

He did not even bother to raise his head to see who it was. His eyes were just fixated at the piece of paper in his hand.

"What are you looking at? You seem so serious," Sara said with a lunchbox in her hand. She was not very particular about food when she was in the company.

She ate what her employees ate. She never acted like a spoiled child in front of them.

"Well, I wrote a transformation plan for the company," Jacob answered. He lifted his gaze, and when he saw that it was Sara, his face lit up in an instant. 'How could Jacob change his mood so fast?' she wondered.

Sara placed the lunchbox on the desk, while Jacob hastily put the documents aside.

She clicked her tongue twice and remarked, "This paper is full of words. It took you a lot of time to make this, didn't you?" With a sigh, she began to read the plan.

With a smile, he opened the lunchbox and found that the lunch for the day was fried chicken drumsticks.

"Yes. It actually took me a whole morning to write it. I haven't even sorted it out yet," he answered while looking at Sara.

Every time he saw her, it made him want to smile. Of course, Sara figured that out just by looking at his expression. She felt happy because of this.

"Your plan is brilliant. I've finished reading it, and it's completely feasible. I also think that the company won't grow bigger just by manufacturing raw materials. You know, even though I regard myself as the CEO, you're the one who's taking over the company."

Sara looked at him seriously. She was actually reminding him that he could not be careless and hasty when it came to the company's affairs. Besides, this was the fruit of her father's lifelong painstaking efforts. She had to let him know that although the company was small, it should not be taken lightly.

She also believed that changes had to be done. Otherwise, the company would be eliminated in the future.

"Come on. Let's have lunch first," Jacob said while opening the lunchbox. Then, he stood up and went out to get some water for them.

When he returned to the office, he found that Sara had already started eating.

"Are you hungry?" he asked with a chuckle. For some reason, he seemed happier than he was before.

"Yes. Actually, I've been busy all morning. Anyway, I noticed that you were ostracized today. Don't worry. I've already talked to every one of them. This is exactly the reason why I didn't tell them about you before."

Sara explained what had happened as she bit a drumstick.

Jacob felt warmth in his heart. He did not expect that she would be protective of him even at the critical moment. For him, this might be the most important thing he had discovered about her.

"What did they say? Did they teach you a lesson?" he queried while observing her expression.

"Yes, they did. They claim that I've let my personal feelings get in the way and that I've already forgotten what happened in the past. I couldn't even say a word. Although I appreciated them for sharing adversity with me, I couldn't stand it when they said something bad about you."

As Sara spoke, she stopped eating for a moment and looked at Jacob sincerely. In her heart, nobody could beat him as the most important person in her life. She was sure about that.

"Thank you, Sara. But, let me take care of that from now on. Don't worry, okay? Your task is to take good care of yourself. Taking care of the company, while also loving you, is mine."

Jacob walked up to her and stroked her hair dotingly. Upon hearing his words, Sara fell speechless and tears welled up in her eyes.

He had become a slick talker, and she liked it.

Jacob did not just order her and tell her what she needed to do. He also made sure that her needs were being met. That was how much he loved her.

Sara wanted freedom and liberty to do whatever she liked, and he gave her that without reservations. She was very grateful for him.

Even if she did not become rich and powerful in the future, she would accept it.

Besides, she used to be rich before, but she was dissatisfied and unhappy. It just proved that money was not the only standard for happiness. At the thought of it, Sara continued to eat her drumstick.

Jacob finally sat down and began to eat. It was his first time to eat lunch with her in the company. Although he did not eat well, he was in a bliss.

There is a kind of happiness that material things cannot equate. For Jacob, this was the best example of it. With that, he picked up a piece of meat from his bowl and put it into Sara's.

Sara accepted his offering without any hesitation.

Although it was just a little thing, she was beaming with happiness while she ate. No one knew her nor loved her better than Jacob. At the thought of this, her heart was filled with warmth.
