The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 703 A Complicated Choice

Nicole glanced at Logan. Her words could not compare to a group photo that Xandria took out. How ridiculous!

"Ms. Xandria is still in her internship period. Whether she can stay or not is her problem, but if Mr. Cook wants to give up his position, we have no problem with that..." Jacob instantly went ashen.

Nicole's words clearly meant that she did not want to be Xandria's backer.

He sucked up to the wrong person!

It was time to get down to business.

Nicole walked over to sit on the sofa, reached out, and took the documents that Logan handed over.

"To be honest, Stanton Corporation has been flourishing this year. We have project after project, but it seems none of them have anything to do with you."

The Al project was Nicole's achievements, and the big projects were all a result of Grant's operations. The rest were cooperation with brands under Stanton Corporation.

In that case, what was the significance of the project team's existence?

Jacob looked at Grant in a panic, but Grant merely sat aside with a cold face. He had no reason to speak up for Jacob, right?

"President Nicole, I..."

Nicole raised her hand and interrupted his words, and said with a faint smile, "If it were in the past, we should be having high-level conversations upstairs. The reason why we suddenly came down this time is t o see how the company raises its vermin..."

There were thorns in every sentence Nicole said, and her soft tone made people feel a great fear instead.

It was more frightening than getting cussed out by the boss.

Jacob felt himself shivering from the cold. If he was laid off at the age of nearly 40, he would be at his wits' end.

"President Nicole, I... I'll tell them to work properly immediately!"

Nicole smiled and said in a cold tone, "Don't be so eager, Mr. Cook. The people who can come into Stanton Corporation are all talents, and the people who can stay in your project team are elites among those talents. You turned this team of elites into this sorry state. How are you going to compensate for my company's losses?"

Jacob finally felt that he could not stand any longer. His legs went limp.

He was a senior executive of Stanton Corporation with an annual salary of tens of millions. His whole family counted on him. What would happen to his family if h elost his job?

Go hungry?

He was scared out of his wits. Although Nicole had only been in the company for a short time, her swift and decisive methods were not just hot air.

She even dared to move against the shareholders before. Was it Jacob's turn this time?

"P-President Nicole..."

His voice was extremely flustered.

Nicole looked away and changed her tone, but she was still polite.

"But I know that during the large management shakeup back then, only you were able to stay. My father left you to my brother, not because you didn't take sides, but because your ability is evident to all. It's jus that it's easy for people to start slacking off when their days are too comfortable. However, I can't tolerate my subordinate muddling on like this. I'll give you two choices. Either you resign yourself and we'll still be on good terms, or you stand up again and lead the project department to new heights."

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Jacob suddenly looked up at her in disbelief. She was still letting him continue to stay even though he was like this?

However, he had no other choice. He stood up straight with excitement.

"Yes, I'll definitely do the projects well. No matter what project it is, I'll do my best!"

He raised his hand and swore.

Nicole smiled and looked at Grant, then said to Jacob," In that case, you can look at the materials I have here first. We'll discuss the next step when you're done going through them." Then, she left calmly and decisively, just like when she first arrived.

Grant stood up and patted his shoulder, his voice clear and cold. "You should thank President Nicole. She was the one who let you stay."

In other words, if not for Nicole, Jacob would have already been dismissed.
