David looked at the sincerity in Rita's eyes and felt that he was full of motivation again.
After he sent Rita away, David then proceeded to go to Jacob's house. When he arrived, he saw Jacob sitting in the dining room drinking his afternoon tea. Jacob's relaxed manner almost pissed him off.
David casually threw his coat on the sofa and walked over to one of the empty seats in the dining room. He quickly sat down and looked up at the servant standing not far away. When the servant walked over, David said, "Please make me a cup of tea and get me a fruit plate, thank you."
Jacob looked over at him and gave a nonchalant look. "You're too comfortable in my home," he informed him.
David wanted to say something to defend himself but Jacob continued before he could say anything. "Now, you come to my house without even greeting me just for some afternoon tea. What's next? You're going to become homeless and call me asking for a favor or something?"
Emily suddenly burst into laughter. She giggled as if all the problems in the last few days had just disappeared in a second.
David pounded the table in response to Jacob's words. He had a smile on his face but his tone sounded like he was scolding a child. "We haven't seen each other in only a few days and suddenly you've become super sarcastic. Don't you know how much money I have? Do you really think I would end up on the streets? You have got to be joking."
"You're right. You're more likely to get kicked out by Rita first," Jacob replied smugly.
"You know she can't live without me. Do you really think that she will kick me out?" David looked proud as he said those words.
If he didn't know the truth, Jacob would have believed what David said without any doubts. Now, however…
"Just be careful. Don't be too proud or you might end up losing everything in the end," Jacob said in a slightly ominous tone.
As she witnessed the bickering of the two men, Emily felt like she was watching an interesting film. She was also aware of why David had come to the Tyrone Mansion today. She gave him a smile before she decided to go back to her room and leave the two men to bicker.
After some more exchange of colorful words, David and Jacob went quiet for a few seconds. Then, Jacob pointed to the study room. "Why don't we go in there?" he suggested.
"I received some grave news this morning. Apparently, the Bureau of Quality Control is going to cut off our company's food production line." Not wanting to waste time, David immediately informed Jacob of the situation as soon as they entered the study room. "You've probably already seen the news that is starting to spread on the internet. I came here to ask your opinion about something."
Upon hearing David's tone, Ja
they could ask questions, each reporter tried unique and different tactics just to catch David and Jacob's attention.
"It is public knowledge that the HT Group is a novice in the food industry, considering that this is the first time you've ventured in this business. This is also the first time that you've launched a food product. Mr. Gu, what can you say about the sodium overdose of the first-ever food product released by the HT Group?"
"Starting, or in this case, re-starting a production line will cause a lot of money. Mr. Xu, care to share to us more details about the financial loss that the HT Group suffered from this incident?"
"These allegations about the quality of your product have affected the sales of your other products. It has also destroyed the reputation of the HT Group. Tell us, what are your plans for the future of your company? Will the HT Group continue to venture into the food industry or will you quit?"
"Now, you've lost many potential customers because of this issue. In fact, a lot of the online comments were very clear that they would not purchase any other products from the HT Group in the future. What can you say about this, Mr. Gu? Does this mean that the HT Group has failed to enter the food business?"
Compared to when they had held a press conference to announce the HT Group's decision to enter the food industry, the questions of the reporters in this particular conference were fiercer. It was as if they were deliberately asking questions that could worsen the situation.
Thankfully, Jacob and David had expected these questions and prepared their answers in advance. Plus, the two of them were experienced with handling savage reporters such as the ones in front of them. After all, knowing how to handle reporters came with the job of owning a huge company like the HT Group.
