Jacob had complete admiration and guilt for Nicole, so he respected her from the bottom of his heart.
On the other hand, Jacob had a fear that reached deep into his bones when it came to Grant.
For some reason, when Jacob looked at Grant, he knew that his standard did not meet Grant’s requirements for this position.
Jacob was occupying a position he did not deserve.
Thus, in the end, it was a guilty conscience that produced fear.
Nicole said, “Mr. Cook, the trouble in Sand City was resolved smoothly thanks to you. When the press conference is over, I’ll ask my father to invite you to come over to my home for tea.”
Jacob looked overwhelmed by the partial treatment.
“No, no, I wouldn’t dare, Ms. Stanton. This is my job. Besides, I didn’t do anything to help. You were the one who suffered, and you were the one who came up with all the ideas. How can I take any credit?”
Nicole’s voice was gentle and calm, like a soothing spring breeze. She did not sound like she was putting on airs at all.
“That’s not true. You were the one who took charge of the situation before and after the incident, which is why this messy situation didn’t collapse. Everyone in the company knows this.”
Jacob’s nervousness gradually eased, and he looked a lot more relaxed.
He smiled. “I know. It’s thanks to the company’s support. I will definitely live up to everyone’s expectations.”
Nicole said, “Mm. Let me know if you have any difficulties. Mr. Cook, today’s press conference is very important.
You’re representing the company’s image, so don’t become a subject of ridicule! We’re the righteous party, so even if it’s off-script, you should still talk eloquently. Don’t lose momentum!”
Jacob straightened his back in an instant.
“Yes, you’re right! People live for their spirit just as trees live for bark!”
When Nicole heard his tone become firm, she knew that her purpose was almost achieved.
She looked at the time. “Well, I won’t bother you anymore. Take a look at the scene. I’ll be watching the live broadcast as well.”
“Yes, Ms. Stanton. Take care of your health.”
Jacob did not think of Nicole as a spoiled little girl anymore.
She was more like a commander behind the scenes.
After hanging up the phone, Jacob straightened his suit and collar. His nervousness gradually disappeared, and his confidence grew.
Grant casually glanced in Jacob’s direction and observed the change in his mood.
Jacob was like a completely different person from before.
Just what did Nicole say to him?
Grant was a little curious.
However, before he could ask, Grant sent Nicole a message with a thumbs-up emoji.
Nicole was confused, but when she saw how Jacob changed in front of the camera, she smiled knowingly.
The press conference officially began.
Nicole sat there, looking at her computer screen.
The number of viewers was only a few tens of thousands at first.
As soon as the reporter came up, he asked a very controversial topic.
“May I ask, after the journalist who reported that the building materials were faulty and the suspect behind the scenes is arrested, will Stanton Corporation’s quality inspection continue?”
It would be acceptable if it stopped in the middle.
However, it would leave a few doubts in people’s hearts.
Even if it was a malicious business competition, it could not exclude the possibility that Stanton Corporation falsified it.
The question had a deep meaning and made everyone surprised.
The camera swept over to Jacob on the stage. He was mature and stable. His face remained unsmiling. He only nodded after he heard the question and did not even blink.
“Of course. They’re unrelated matters. All the building materials in Stanton Corporation’s warehouse will be inspected. Unfortunately, the fire a few days ago almost burned up the building materials, but we’ve already sent the salvaged materials to the relevant departments for quality inspection. We accept supervision from everyone. We’re willing to be responsible for the health of homeowners, and
