Grant looked at the name for several seconds before finally sneering. He turned off his phone and turned to leave.
Clayton Sloan was really everywhere.
Even until the end, the host did not understand what just happened. Why did Grant ask for the number?
Grant looked back at his assistant who was following him and instructed, “Tell Jacob to come over.”
“Yes, sir.”
Jacob sent the reporters away before going to Grant’s office in trepidation.
Grant spoke straightforwardly.
“Mr. Cook, I’m going back in a couple of days, and you’ll be going back with me. The project department will still be under your responsibility for the time being. Handover the project here to someone else for now. The handover procedures should be completed within two days.”
Jacob froze, and his face paled slightly. It still ended up happening.
His performance today was not outstanding. It could only be considered mediocre and not disgraceful.
However, Stanton Corporation was full of talents. Any youngster would have a bearing and style of conversation that was much better than him.
Grant’s dissatisfaction with him was finally voiced out loud.
“President Stanton, did I make a mistake?”
Jacob’s voice was very weak.
Jacob knew that nothing he did was great. He even caused such big trouble.
To be honest, if not for the fact that the first person who came was Nicole, he might have already packed up and gone home.
However, Nicole did not let him go, which meant that he still had a chance.
Grant looked at him steadily for a few seconds. His eyes were cold and dark. He laughed softly.
“Mr. Cook, you should know clearly whether you’re doing well or not.”
Jacob’s face went white. “President, I…”
Grant raised his hand to stop Jacob from talking. He did not want to hear Jacob talk about useless things that were just a waste of time.
“Mr. Cook, I’ll just ask you one question. If you stay here, can you guarantee that no more accidents will happen in the follow-up of this project? If you can, then stay. If you can’t, then leave.”
Grant did not give Jacob any chance or leeway. It seemed like Jacob was forced to make his choice while being compelled by a crushing air.
The cost spent on this project had exceeded their initial estimate by 20%. If it went beyond that, they would start to lose money.
Grant was a shrewd person. He would not let a project muck up in his hands.
Jacob had been in Stanton Corporation for many years and knew Grant’s temper well.
When Jacob heard those words, he knew that there was not much hope left for him.
Jacob sighed and nodded. “Okay, President. I’ll go back.”
Grant looked down at his phone indifferently and spoke calmly.
“There should be a big change in the middle and senior positions in a few days. I’ll let HR announce it. You’ve been in Stanton Corporation for a long time, but to be honest, the solutions to the matters you’ve encountered this time are the opposite of what people in this industry should do. It’s really not appropriate for you to continue to stay in this position, don’t you think?”
Jacob jerked his head up as his expression changed slightly.
“President… I really tried my best. For the sake of my dedication to the company for so many years—”
Grant was not moved in the slightest. His face remained indifferent as he reached out to stroke his forehead.
“Don’t worry, I won’t dismiss you. Nicole wants to keep you in the project department, but I don’t think it’s appropriate anymore. Mr. Cook, there’s a vacancy in the procurement department. If you want to go, you can take the initiative to report for work.”
The words had already been said to this point. How would Jacob, a veteran in the workplace for many years, not hear Grant‘s underlying meaning?
