If the workers were dismissed because of a few words, they would become displeased in their hearts. It would be troublesome if they ended up tampering with future projects.
More seriously, the foreman might even run away with the workers.
How could they be asked to be aware of their contracts?
There was no way.
Thus, Nicole’s method only looked like she was being soft- hearted, but she had eliminated all the potential threats.
Jacob had to admit that all the contempt he felt for Nicole in the beginning had turned into admiration now.
It was no wonder Floyd Stanton could leave Stanton Corporation behind with ease. It was no wonder Grant Stanton was willing to play second fiddle to her.
It was because Nicole was worthy!
Jacob looked at Nicole and suddenly felt a rekindled hope in his heart.
With her around, there was no problem that could not be solved.
“Ms. Stanton, I think that at this moment, the best move is to find that reporter and figure out what his purpose is. Then we can solve the problem!”
Nicole felt that it was very reasonable and nodded. She looked at him with expectation.
“Did you find him?”
Jacob’s smile stiffened. “No.”
Nicole’s expression disappeared quickly. “Mr. Cook, could you please only put out suggestions you’re capable of completing?”
If Grant came in person, Nicole had no doubt that Jacob’s position would have been replaced long ago.
She was really speechless.
Jacob paused. “Although there’s no news about that reporter’s whereabouts, I got people to try finding clues through the information he left on the short video platform, but I don’t know if it was of use or not…”
It was because that clue was too inconspicuous, so he did not dare to bring it up.
Nicole looked at him silently.
Jacob did not keep her in suspense and quickly spoke.
“In his previous inconspicuous works, he used to deal with commerce, but his sales were not very good. He immediately deleted all those works after his recent fame.”
Nicole paused and was silent for a moment. “What goods?” “An electronic product from Ferguson Corporation.”
Jacob gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
“But I think it might just be a coincidence. Back then, because of Lincoln Zelman and Hector Leach, almost no workers came to the projects in Sand City. It was through Mr. Ferguson’s contacts that Ferguson Corporation introduced the workers used here, so logically… It wouldn’t be him.”
Since Ferguson Corporation helped them, why would they turn around and harm them?
It was counterproductive.
More importantly, everyone knew that Eric and Nicole were divorced, but their companies were still closely related.
There was no reason for them to suddenly turn against each other.
This matter was important but also too outrageous, so he did not mention it.
When Jacob finished speaking, he looked at Nicole carefully.
Nicole’s expression gradually became grave. She fixed her gaze in a certain direction and looked deep in thought.
According to Eric’s character, an underhanded tactic like this was not his handiwork.
Furthermore, Eric was still in Liberty. He had just helped her solve the trouble with the Sloan family. How would he go against her now?
Then why?
Logan pursed his lips and spoke.
“President, I’m afraid this matter probably has something to do with Ferguson Corporation. According to what Mr. Cook said, if this has nothing to do with Ferguson Corporation, why would the reporter delete his past works?”
Jacob froze for an instant. “Maybe he was afraid of offending Ferguson Corporation?”
Logan laughed.
“Offend them? That reason is too far-fetched. It’s more plausible to say that it’s a cover-up. He deleted them because he’s afraid of being exposed.”
Nicole was silent and did not speak.
