"No, nothing happened. It feels a little strange, right? I think it's suspicious that Darren didn't take advantage of the time when you were gone. I wonder if he's plotting something," David stated. They had been waiting for Darren to strike but so far, he had done nothing.
"It's hard to say. Darren is a crafty guy. He will always attack when he knows the enemy is least expecting it," Jacob replied.
This whole time, Jacob had always regarded Darren as his biggest opponent. After all, Darren had always found a way to compete with him. Darren's methods were sly and devious. There was no way that Darren had just stopped trying to take them down.
While the two of them were considering the possibility that everything was going back to normal, chaos had broken outside.
Sam barged inside the office with wide eyes. He reported to Jacob and David as soon as he received the news.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Xu, have you seen the news? Someone said that even though the HT Group was in the middle of a food poisoning scandal, the CEO of the company was unsympathetic. They're saying that he went on a vacation with no regrets!" Sam informed them in an anxious tone. It seemed that they were in big trouble again.
"How can they bring it up again? I thought we cleared it up already. Why are they targeting you again all of a sudden?" David asked, glancing at Jacob. It was strange.
"I have no clue either. I was shocked when I saw the news floating around on the internet just now. It escalated quickly and was immediately shared by several reporters. There's a swarm of reporters downstairs," Sam told them. He felt helpless at this point.
"Let's just wait and see what else happens," Jacob said in a calm tone. He didn't want to lose composure yet.
After Sam enlightened them of the situation, Jacob and David turned on their computers. They saw the news that Sam was talking about and found that it was spreading like wildfire on the internet.
It seemed that Darren had had something up his sleeve after all. They had wondered why Darren had kept quiet when Jacob was away. It turned out that he had just been waiting for Jacob's return so he could drop this on them. Darren hadn't had a change of heart; he still wanted his revenge.
For a moment, Jacob became the center of the storm.
Realizing how serious the matter was, he couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Gu, what should we do now? Should we release a statement as soon as possible?" Sam was worried that if they didn't clear up the matter, it would tarnish their company's reputation even more.
As he skimmed through the articles of the news websites, Jacob frowned and pursed his
t. Due to the financial losses that they had suffered after being forced to stop their food production, their cash flow had been affected. The issue had impacted their other businesses and their revenue kept dwindling each day. The senior executives of the HT Group were in distress, and the other employees were also in low spirits. It was as if the incident had cast a dark cloud over each of their heads and there was no way to escape it.
The next morning, an emergency meeting was held. The large conference room was filled with sad faces.
"The food chain can't operate again, but the company is not closing down. Why do you guys look so sad?" As usual, Jacob had a cold and sullen expression plastered on his face. His tone was emotionless. His bony fingers slowly knocked on the table, which seemed to have woken up the company's board of directors. They sat up and looked at him.
"Mr. Gu, our company has suffered major financial loss because of this incident. We made a big mistake…"
Jacob looked at him with a scowl, and the director's voice became lower and lower until it turned into a whisper. A deep and serious voice declared, "The HT Group didn't start as a food company. Even without our involvement in the food industry, the company was able to operate and always ranked top."
"Mr. Gu, are you planning to restart the company?" There were mixed reactions from the company directors. Some of them were still worried about the company's future while others understood what Jacob implied. "Our company is a reputable industrial company. Our connections and qualifications in several industries are more than enough to make the company run smoothly despite what happened. We will make up for the financial loss soon enough," Jacob added sincerely.
