Jacob took a careful look at Logan Brown’s expression before speaking slowly, “This is from Edward Ford’s assistant, the letter is about wanting me to meet with Edward Ford again alone.”
“You know what he wants?” Logan Brown asked.
Jacob nodded, “Knowing that because Edward Ford knows the biggest threat to himself is Sir, and the closest person left around Sir is me, so ……”
Logan Brown lost his smile, “That’s some self-awareness for you this time.”
“That ……” Jacob followed with some embarrassment and scratched the back of his head, “And because of the first time, I didn’t have to guess what the other side was up to this time.”
Logan Brown hooked his lips and propped his chin on his hands as he looked at him good-naturedly, “In that case, what’s your decision? What do you want?”
“I, of course, am sworn to follow you, sir!” Jacob immediately made his determination clear.
Logan Brown nodded in satisfaction, but also shook his head.
Jacob looked at him with some uncertainty, not understanding his demeanour.
Logan Brown pondered for a moment before saying, “I need you to see Edward Ford and then make him think you’re going to betray me, do you understand?”
“I… I’m betraying Sir?”
Jacob looked confused, the thought just flashed through his mind before he quickly dismissed it himself, “No, I can’t do that, and I won’t abandon Sir!”
“It’s all just a sham, what do you care?” Logan Brown was a little helpless at his persistence.
This time Jacob understood immediately and a look of realization was written all over his face, “So, what Mister means is that he wants me to do a play?”
“I mentioned to you earlier that you could oblige him, you were the one who never opened up.” Logan Brown shook his head helplessly, not really knowing whether to be happy or to cry.
Happy was his heart, but on the other hand, the man in front of him clearly didn’t give a damn about anyone but him.
Jacob couldn’t help but feel ashamed this time, “I’m sorry sir ……”
“No problem.” Logan Brown smiled, “That’s something I like about you too.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed by his side for so many years.
In the end, there are reasons that make it worthwhile to keep him. In the business world, there are many people who have the skills alone, but not many who have the skills to keep their hearts, and Jacob is one of those people who has both.
The following day, as stated in the letter, Jacob arrived as promised, but when he did, there was only Edward Ford’s assistant.
Jacob was a little surprised, but the assistant greeted him with a smile and said, “Mr Jacob, I didn’t expect you to be here.”
Jacob’s eyes took a wary look around the box and he frowned, “Why, wasn’t it Mr. Ford who asked me out? Why you?”
“This ……”
The assistant hesitated for a moment, he couldn’t say that Edward Ford was deliberately trying to avoid seeing him, could he?
Seeing that he couldn’t say a word of explanation even after stammering for half a second, Jacob simply waved his hand and said coldly, “Since he didn’t come, I can also leave first.”
“Eh, wait!” The assistant rushed up to him and blocked the doorway.
Jacob gave him a wary look, already a little upset because of the broken appointment, and now that he was stopped, his face had completely sunk.
Jacob was worthy of the man who had been with Logan Brown for several years, and had an oppressiveness that was unmatched.
“Wait?” Jacob chuckled, “Mr Ford has no desire to see me, he even sent a little assistant to meet with me, a little assistant who doesn’t have the slightest idea why, and you’re asking me to wait? That’s ridiculous!”
Edward Ford’s assistant stood in front of him and felt that he could not hold his head up at all, and the words that came out of his mouth were so justified that he could not respond to them.
The assistant clenched his hand under the pressure, “Mr. Jacob, I know you’re angry, but it’s really an emergency that President Ford couldn’t make it here in time.
Jacob lifted his hand to glance at his wristwatch, “I’m sorry, I have a video conference with the shareholders at 3:30, I’m afraid I can’t wait.”
“Sh……”
“What?” Jacob gave him a sidelong glance, “This gentleman, no matter what I ask you to remember, I am the Vice President of KL, I can take time out of my busy schedule to come here to give Mr Ford face, but now the person who is not sincere is also Mr Ford, in that case, why should I wait for him?”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
The assistant blocked the doorway and even took out his mobile phone in a hurry, pretending to answer it, “Hello, yes, is this President Ford?
“Yes, yes, okay, I’m going out now then!”
The assistant hung up the phone turned his face and immediately raised a smile at Jacob and said, “Mr. Jacob, our Ford president has arrived at the door and is coming in now, wait here for a moment, I’ll go out and bring him in.”
“……”
Before the assistant left he was told again and again to be patient.
As soon as he left, Jacob followed him out.
The assistant was on his way to the next box to bring Edward Ford over when he saw Jacob’s back as he was about to leave, and he ran after him, not caring about Edward Ford.
“Mr Jacob, please wait for a moment ……”
The assistant was panting, and managed to catch up with the man who had stopped him at a steady pace.
Jacob’s afterglow fell deep into him with a displeased look on his face, “What, is there something else?”
“Mr. Jacob, didn’t I tell you to wait in the box? Our President Ford has arrived, so if you have anything to talk about, you can go to the box and have a good talk.”
“Talk?”
Jacob shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference, “Sorry, the person who wants to talk to me is Mr Ford, I don’t really have anything to talk about, and apparently, I gave Mr Ford this opportunity, it’s him who doesn’t appreciate it!”
With a single word, Edward Ford was directly put in a low position.
The assistant had a difficult face, not at all on Jacob’s level, and was at a loss for words when Edward Ford’s bright voice behind him had taken the lead, causing both of them to involuntarily cast their eyes in unison.
