Chapter 176 Public Opinion
Jacob frowned. He could tell what kind of asion it was now. But when assistant Cindy fell to the
ground, his face was really gloomy.
A repeated rumor makes others believe. Even the passers-by woulde to see what happened.
However, the bodyguards who were watching secretly didn''t dare to move forward. Since the boss
didn''t say anything, they didn''t dare to act rashly. If it weren''t for the fact that there were too many
reporters in front of them, they would have stepped forward to protect the CEO.
"First of all, I''m sorry for what happened. I hope you could calm down. I believe that no one would like
to see the ident happen. Second, it couldn''t make things better even if you surround our CEO here.
"
Assistant Cindy looked at the people around seriously. Her hand, which had been stepped on when
she was fallen down, was still aching. But at this moment, he had to help the CEO out.
Even if it''s not her duty, she would try her best.
While they were talking, Jacob had already walked to the door with the mass still around him. He
walked in quickly. The security guards finally came in handy. Assistant Cindy took a deep breath. It was
a cold day and they were exposed in the cold wind for quite a long time. Despite the coldness, sweat
had appeared on Cindy''s forehead.
The reporters, family members and onlookers were still waiting at the door. They seemed to be full of
energy and tireless.
Regardless of her red hand, assistant Cindy pinched his fingers nervously and said, "What should we
do, Mr. Jacob? Those media outside won''t let it go."
"Let''s wait and see. Now the most important thing is tofort the family." Jacob nced at assistant
Cindy''s hand. He saw that her hand was stepped on.
"Are you okay?" Jacob said with concern. She helped him out just now. It was unnecessary for her to
do so.
"It doesn''t matter." Assistant Cindy blushed, but she felt warm in her heart. At this moment, the CEO
was still caring about her. It seemed that the CEO was also a warm-hearted person despite his cold
face.
James was waiting in the hall. Seeing Jacob, he came up to him.
"How is it going, uncle?" Jacob said in a calm tone. As the president, he couldn''t show panic at such a
moment. Only when he gave them strength could they remain calm.
"It''s a little troublesome, but it''s not impossible to solve it." James looked solemn. Such an ident
happened every day. But this time, it happened in theirpany.
"Yes, I know. There is a group of journalists outside. I didn''te in until entangled with them for a long
time. " Jacob said with a frown.
"Yes, I saw it, but I didn''t ask anyone to takepulsive measures. After all, nowadays journalists are
not easy to be trifled with. " James squinted his long and narrow eyes, as if he was deep in thought.
In the Inte society, the media staff could easily confuse right and wrong. Moreover, they would hire
arge number of paid supporters. In short, they were one of the most difficult group of people to deal
with.
Jacob walked straight forward without any hesitation.
"Inform the board to have a meeting." Jacob turned to assistant Cindy and ordered.
"Mr. Jacob, the directors are already waiting in the meeting room." Assistant Cindy replied.
"Good." Jacob nodded. He was relieved to have Cindy as his assistant.
"Are there any abnormalities of the directors?" Jacob entered the elevator, expressionless. In the whole
elevator, the three people stood together, inexplicably depressing the atmosphere.

Abnormal? What kind of situation could be regarded as abnormal?
James seemed to have made up his mind after gathering his breath. "Some directors seem to be
dissatisfied with this matter and have argued for a long time in the meeting. They want you to show up
right now. "
Jonathan''s face immediately appeared in Jacob''s mind. How could his good cousin remain silent at
such a critical moment?
Jacob narrowed his eyes, with a hint of viciousness in them. Mercy to the enemy was cruelty to
oneself.
Especially for those who regarded him as the number one enemy, Jacob had been too kind in the past.
Walking to the door of the meeting room, assistant Cindy held her breath. She had just spent too much
energy downstairs.
But now, she had to calmly follow the CEO into the office calmly. It could be seen that the CEO was
very calm, which made her feel much relieved.
Opening the door, Jacob walked in slowly. During the whole process, he only nced at the directors
present.
Then he sat on the CEO''s seat. Jonathan gave him a sharp look. Why it must be Jacob, not himself, sit
on that seat?
"Such an ident happened in thepany, but Mr. Jacob was nowhere to be found. Mr. Jacob, you
seem to be careless about thepany''s affairs." Jonathan said sarcastically. He couldn''t wait to see
how the awkward face of Jacob.
James nced at Jonathan. He was talking about Jonathan when he was in the elevator.
"Have you discussed how to solve this problem?" Jacob ignored him directly. It was not appropriate to
argue with Jonathan today.
If you want to despise someone, the most effective way is just to ignore him. Jonathan''s face turned
blue and pale. The directors who had the same thought as him didn''t say anything.
"Jacob, you should give us an exnation on the issue. You should be med for the trouble. "
Jonathan deliberately raised his voice. He couldn''t stand being ignored.
"Exnation?" Jacob stood up and looked out of the window, and then turned around. He gave off a
strong sense of oppression.
Except for Jonathan, no one spoke.
"Don''t you think you should be responsible for what happened as the CEO of thepany?" Jonathan
said confidently. He must drive Jacob off from the position of CEO.
"I don''t know what you are talking about, but please don''t be so ignorant." Jacob frowned, as if he didn''t
me Jonathan for not knowledgeable enough.
The other directors present tried hard to hold back theirughter. It was a very serious meeting, but
they suddenly felt a little funny. Assistant Cindy, who was standing next to him, also smiled. He felt
much more relieved.
"Don''t think that you can pass the buck by quibble. Someone has to be responsible." Jonathan
narrowed his eyes and wondered who would finally taking the responsibility.
"You are right. Someone has to be responsible for this. But it''s too early to decide who should be
med. " Jonathan sat down on the chair again.
"Does anyone has any advices on how to solve the crisis?" Jonathan nced at the directors present
sharply, as if he had already know the way to solve the problem.
"I think we should figure out the number of casualties first. After that, we must find out the cause of the
ident. " One of the directors suggested.
Although it was not really useful, Jacob still nodded. "That''s right. That''s exactly what I was going to
say. "
Jonathan rolled his eyes at Jacob. The advice was meaningless as everyone know that. He felt that the
Shi Group was not far from bankruptcy.
"We shouldfort the family members andmunicate with the media in a proper way. After all, in
the age of Inte, rumors can destroy us." James took a look at the director who had just spoken and
then suggested.
Jacob nodded, knowing that James was right. The most terrible thing was not the event itself, but the
public opinion about the event. If he didn''t handle it well, rumors would spread without control, making it
even more difficult to be solved.
"I''m afraid that things would go contrary to your wishes. These people won''t be easilyforted by
you. You''d better makepensation as soon as possible. " Jonathan raised his eyebrows. He knew
how difficult it was to deal with these people.
Jacob nodded. For the first time, he felt that Jonathan was not that stupid.
