Chapter 63 A Dispute


    At this time, the Gu family also learned that Emily had be the spokesperson of thepany.


    The first one who disagreed with this appointment was Nelson.


    Nelson didn''t like Emily and thought that she always came off as a bit sketchy. She was young but had


    a devious character.


    On the contrary, he liked Melinda very much. He thought she was gentle and sensible, and she was


    always obedient.


    Nelson had intended to appoint Melinda as thepany''s spokesperson. She was beautiful, lovely,


    pure and kindhearted, and she was more suitable to be apany''s image spokesperson than Emily.


    But Nelson had never thought that Emily would be chosen as the spokesperson of thepany from


    right under his nose without his consent.


    Nelson was angry beyond reproach after he realized who their choice was. He didn''t understand why


    they had settled on Emily as the spokesperson and not Melinda.


    Therefore, an outraged Nelson instantly thought of Jonas. His grandson was the CEO of thepany,


    so he was going to ask him for an exnation and to immediately rece the spokesperson.


    There was no way Nelson would allow Emily to be the spokesperson of thepany.


    Therefore, Nelson urgently called Jonas and asked him toe back home immediately.


    After receiving a call from Nelson, Jonas did not waste any time, and quickly went back home.


    When he entered the living room, he saw Nelson sitting on the sofa impatiently waiting for him.


    Meanwhile, Jonas slowly strolled to the sofa opposite where Nelson was sitting and sat down.


    Looking at the serious expression on Nelson''s face, Jonas could tell that he was burning with anger


    deep in his heart. He figured that he would know soon. His grandfather must have something important


    to tell him since he had asked him toe home urgently.


    "Grandpa, what is so important that you had to call me back? What do you want to tell me?"


    Jonas asked after hesitating for a while. He didn''t want to offend the old man and blow off his fuse.


    Nelson still didn''t say anything, but looked at him seriously as if trying to choose his words carefully.


    "What''s wrong? Grandpa, is everything okay?" asked Jonas starting to panic a little bit since he thought


    it might be Nelson''s health.


    "Go back to thepany and change the spokesperson you just appointed,"


    Nelson said, with uncontroble anger in his voice.


    Jonas didn''t understand why his grandpa was so upset with Emily being appointed as the


    spokesperson of hispany.

    So he asked in confusion, "Why, what''s wrong with the current appointment? Grandpa, why are you so


    opposed to Emily being the spokesperson? Isn''t Emily good enough for the post? Why do you


    suddenly want me to change her?"


    "I have no reason she is simply not suitable to be a spokesperson and a representative of the


    company''s image, so I want you to change the spokesperson immediately,"


    Nelson answered him firmly, leaving no room for discussion so Jonas realized he really couldn''t change


    his mind although he would try.


    "But Grandpa, I don''t think it''s a good idea to change Emily so soon after making a public


    announcement."


    Jonas still tried to negotiate with his grandfather so that he didn''t have to rece Emily, but Nelson


    objected vehemently.


    "What''s wrong with you? I thought we have finished this discussion and I have asked you to fire her.


    Haven''t you been listening to your grandfather?"


    Nelson''s reply blocked Jonas''s mid-sentence and he had to reluctantly agree to his grandfather''s


    demands.


    Now that he was sitting face to face with his grandfather, he couldn''t refuse. It wasn''t like if they were


    speaking on phone and he could pretend that he was busy and hadn''t heard him well.


    "Okay,"


    Jonas agreed finally.


    Hearing his positive response, Nelson was no longer looking so serious. He smiled in delight and said,


    "No wonder you are my favorite grandson."


    Meanwhile, Jonas went back to thepany and informed thepany''s senior officials that they had


    decided to change the spokesperson and Emily''s services would no longer be needed.


    The senior officials in thepany were all confused when they heard the news. They didn''t


    understand why Jonas would make such a decision all of a sudden.


    Therefore, the senior officials of thepany all went to find Jonas and question why he had changed


    his mind all of a sudden. It was not a good time to keep changing public statements and people they


    had appointed into new positions.


    Jonas had no choice but to stand by that decision because it was made by his grandfather and he


    could not contradict his grandfather.


    Jonas felt helpless. Even though he was the CEO of thepany, he still had to report to his


    grandfather who basically controlled every decision he made.


    Even when his grandfather asked him to change the spokesperson of thepany at once, he couldn''t


    do anything about it and had to do as he was told like a little boy.


    Jonas felt heavy in his heart because he had to make a difficult choice.


    One was the fact that he had to consider his grandpa who had a tough attitude, and the other was to


    make a consideration for a woman that he once liked. Now his grandpa was asking him to change the


    spokesperson, which was a really difficult choice to make but he had no other easier options.


    He had to listen to his grandfather.


    Therefore, Jonas decided to change the spokesperson for thepany after thinking through his


    options anding up with no better idea.


    Jonas felt that he was a loser and a puppet in thepany because he couldn''t even make any


    decision. As long as Nelson asked him to do something, he had no choice but toply with his


    demands.


    Thinking of his decision, Jonas felt guilty about Emily, who had to be reced by another person, for no


    good reason except for the mere fact that his grandpa disliked her.


    Just as he was in deep thought, his cell phone vibrated on the table, alerting him that he had a call from


    Emily.


    When he saw Emily''s name on the screen, Jonas was raked with a new wave of guilt. He didn''t know


    whether he should answer it or not.


    But atst, Jonas decided to pick up the phone and face the consequences of his actions.


    "Hello, may I speak to Jonas?"


    Before Jonas could say a single word, Emily''s voice came through the phone.


    "Yes, this is him speaking,"


    Jonas replied in a low voice full of guilt.


    "Jonas, you can rece me by someone else as the spokesperson."


    There was a moment of silence before Emily finally decided to bring up the topic.


    "So I assume you were aware of everything?"


    Jonas felt guiltier and guiltier because he hadn''t expected that Emily would tell him that she was willing


    to step down from the position of the spokesperson.


    "I know you have no choice but to fire me. So I''m okay with the decision."


    Emily generously gave up and was also being so considerate.


    Jonas knew that although Emily had given up being the spokesperson of thepany on her own


    initiative, she must be a little sad. After all, no matter who it was, she would still feel offended and hurt.


    "I''m sorry, but my grandfather asked me to fire you. It wasn''t a decision I could have made so easily. I


    didn''t mean to offend you,"


    Jonas told Emily the truth and hoped that she would understand that he had no control over the


    decision and didn''t want to fire her.


    "It''s okay. I know your Grandpa doesn''t like me. Maybe it''s because he thinks I''m not good enough for


    the job, but I don''t care. You shouldn''t feel guilty,"


    Emily chuckled and tried tofort Jonas.


    Hearing her statement, Jonas heaved a sigh of relief, feeling lighter in his heart. He stood up and


    walked towards the huge French window which had a beautiful view.


    The weather outside was good but he was not in a good mood, so even the surroundings were


    depressing for him.


    Jonas took a deep breath, but the guilt and helplessness were rooted in his heart.


    "Emily, thank you so much. Thank you for giving up the position without putting up any resistance."


    Actually, Jonas didn''t know what to say, but expressed his gratitude to Emily.


    Meanwhile, Emily keptforting Jonas on the other side through the phone.


    Emily appeared so considerate and empathetic, and Jonas kept talking to her. It was as if he had finally


    found an opportunity to talk to Emily, and he did so without any reservations.


    "I really want to manage thepany well, not only because I am the CEO of thepany, but also


    because I want to make thepany bigger and better."


    Jonas finally spoke out what had been weighing down on his heart and he had managed to talk it out


    with Emily who gave him a listening ear that he had been craving.


    "I know. You have always been a capable and insightful person. I believe that you will manage the


    company well and make it prosper," Emily gentlyforted Jonas.


    Emily''s affirmation gave Jonas the encouragement he needed, which rxed him a little, because


    Emily could understand him, she could understand what he was thinking and feeling.


    "But now I''m controlled by my grandfather like a puppet. I really don''t want to be treated like this, but I


    have no choice. It was my grandfather who pushed me to take this position, so I have to listen to him."


    There was a weary sadness in his voice. He felt powerless.


    "I am such a loser,"


    Jonas said with self-mockery.


    "No, you''re not. You''ve always been the best at what you do, or else thepany wouldn''t have done


    so well while under your leadership. Your grandfather may have his own reasons for dictating and


    giving orders to you."


    Emily kept praising Jonas and told him not to be so self-loathing.


    In fact, Emily almost exploded when she learnt that Nelson had suddenly asked Jonas to change her


    from the position of the spokesperson. How could she not be angry?


    But she had to pretend to be a kind person andfort Jonas.


    It would be great to make Jonas feel increasingly guilty about the decision that they took about her.


    A sinister smile appeared on Emily''s face, but it was a pity that Jonas couldn''t see it through the phone.


    Emily didn''t belittle Nelson, but praised him all the time, which made Jonas feel good.


    Jonas felt good because what Emily said injected a ray of sunshine into his heart and made him very


    cheerful.


    Jonas also felt much relieved after talking to Emily and telling her everything.


    "Thank you, Emily. It''s so kind of you to give your time and listen to me."


    Jonas was grateful to Emily from the bottom of his heart. She was willing to listen to his words and


    instead of being impatient, she keptforting him.


    "You don''t need to say ''thank you'' to me, I didn''t do anything much,"


    Emily immediately replied.


    Jonas couldn''t help but smile. He liked Emily more and more at the thought that she was so


    considerate. Why didn''t his grandfather like her? He couldn''t understand his reasoning.


    At the same time, he was getting more and more dissatisfied with Nelson. But he could not express his


    feelings, because he was his grandfather.


    When he hung up the phone, Jonas wasn''t as depressed as he had been before. He felt better and his


    heart was not as heavy as it was before.


    After hanging up the phone, Emily was very satisfied. She had effortlessly given up her position and


    comforted Jonas, which must have made Jonas have more positive feelings towards her.


    Emily was very proud of her ingenious idea and aplishments.
