Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 177

"I think it would be much easier to deal with if the accident was not caused by the equipment problem of the company, but by man-made reasons." Another director said. It was related to his own interests, so he naturally had to analyze it carefully.

"But now the key problem is here. What if it is because of the equipment?" Jonathan argued. Jacob's calm expression made him uncomfortable. If he had encountered such a thing, he would never be as calm as Jacob.

He didn't want to admit that he was no match for Jacob in some aspects.

"So we need to prove that there's nothing to do with the equipment. The police have intervened. If it's the equipment's problem, it will cause immeasurable loss to the company." James looked solemn.

The company's new energy industry had been on the right track. The next step was to expand it from the city to the national market and monopolize it. No one expected such a thing to happen.

"No need to hurry. The problem of the equipment is only one of the problems, the most important thing is how to relieve the family's mood at the critical moment." Jacob squinted his eyes. All the people present just wanted to know his thoughts.

No one was willing to bear this problem alone, and they couldn't.

"Mr. Jacob, do you have any good idea?" Jonathan asked ironically.

"I have sent people to rescue the wounded, and the police have also been involved in the investigation. I will go to the hospital to visit the wounded during this period of time. The police are responsible for the investigation. They are professional."

Jacob paused. All the people present were looking forward to what he would say.

"Our main work is to comfort the families of the deceased. I hope that all the directors of the company will go there. We need to be attentive. Of course, there are some people who are not good at talking and they don't need to go.

I don't want to spend money on public relations. I'm going to hold a press conference, of course not now. Please get ready to get through the difficulties with the company." Jacob said slowly. Even if the plan took shape in his heart, it had to be carried out.

Jonathan glanced at Jacob. Although he was not satisfied with this plan, he couldn't think of any words to defend himself. But when he thought that Jacob mentioned that some people who were not good at talking didn't need to go, he was furious.

"Who are the ones that are not good at talking? Make it clear." Jonathan's voice was neither loud nor low, just heard by everyone present.

"Jonathan, pay attention to your tone and position." James glanced at Jonathan coldly. This young man was too impetuous.

"You!" Jonathan glared at James and said, "Don't rely on your old age."

As soon as he finished his words, the board members held their breath.

With a cold light in his eyes, Jacob suppressed his anger and said, "That's enough. You are the one who is not good and talking. And you don't need to judge whether Uncle James is old or not. You just need to take care of yourself."

"Humph!" Jonathan glanced at Jacob coldly. After all, they had broken up a long time ago, so he was not afraid at this time. Anyway, it was Jacob who took the responsibility in the end.

"If there is nothing else, let's call it a day. Recently, the company is in a special period. I hope you can keep vigilant and inform me in time if anything happens." Jacob said calmly.

At this time, his phone rang. Jacob picked up the phone and asked, "Hello, who's that?"

"Boss, the woman who cried downstairs just now is going to jump off the building now!" A woman's trembling voice came from the other end of the line.

"I see. I'll go upstairs right now. Call the police." The board members heard what Jacob said.

Everyone was particularly sensitive to recent events, especially the words "call the police".

Jacob put down the phone and stood up in a hurry. He didn't explain to anyone. If everyone went upstairs together, maybe the woman who was going to jump off the building would be stimulated.

He rushed out of the meeting room and immediately went to the roof of the building. Fortunately, the meeting room was not far from the top floor.

The roof of the building was locked. How could the woman go up?

Jacob recalled the inexplicable smile of Jonathan just now. For a moment, there was a chill in his back.

Before he could think more about the smile, Jacob ran upstairs quickly. He didn't know why the door of the rooftop was opened and the lock was put on the ground.

On the rooftop, the woman held her body tightly, seeming to be on the verge of collapse.

Jacob stood at the door. The lobby manager implored in a low voice, "Come down quickly. Let's have a talk."

The woman was nearly 40 years old, but she looked at least 10 years older. She stood upright on the stage at the side of the building, facing the wind.

"My husband has always been working so hard and living so hard. We never expect such an accident to happen. You are all murderers." The woman growled sadly. She saw Jacob at a glance.

When she was downstairs, Jacob's cold expression hurt her heart. Maybe for Jacob, the one who died was just a stranger. For her, the dead man was her world.

A world that only belonged to her disappeared because of the explosion.

She couldn't accept the fact that her happy family was ruined by the death of her husband who had lived with her for so many years. Besides, her husband and she were from the bottom class of the city. They were afraid that their descendants would also live such a life, so they chose DINK.

Some people would give birth to children to change their fate, which was the so-called ray of hope. But some people didn't want to have children because they had seen their own life.

The woman was lonely and helpless. Once her husband died, she naturally didn't want to live anymore.

She almost didn't want to live. The world was so cold that it was frightening. No matter how hard she tried to wrap herself in the coat, she still felt cold.

Are the people at the bottom destined to live like ants? No, she refused. Even if she died, she had to be remembered. She wanted everyone to know her when they thought of this company.

This was her revenge on the company. A smile unexpectedly appeared on her face.

"Please calm down!" Jacob tried to soften his tone.

"Boss, I don't know how the door of the rooftop was opened. Besides, I don't know how she got here. I..." The lobby manager explained hurriedly for fear of being held accountable.

"All right. Now it's not the time to talk about this. Have you called the police?" Jacob rudely interrupted the lobby manager. With only this sentence, the lobby manager could not help but bend down.

It seemed that the woman wanted to jump off the building after causing a sensation. She wanted to attract everyone's attention with her life.

It had to be said that this method was very brilliant. It was so brilliant that Jacob frowned.

"Yes, the police will arrive in a few minutes." The lobby manager replied in a low voice, afraid of irritating the woman on the rooftop.

"Mr. Jacob, do you know what people at the bottom of the society look like? No one cares, has no friend, and no time for entertainment! Do you know what's the point of living so tired every day?"

The woman's sharp voice sounded as if she was talking to herself.
