Chapter 464 Survival Of The Fittest
If so, all he had suffered would be meaningless, so Jacob started the engine. Anyway, he must rise again.
Moreover, he wanted to make an achievement that far more than the Shi Group.
Soon, Jacob got to Earl's home. Earl was drinking tea leisurely at home. The moment he saw Jacob, he was not surprised at all.
It seemed like Earl had already known that Jacob would show up. He welcomed Jacob into the house.
"Mr. Earl, why don't you go to work today? I heard that you are not available."
Jacob asked, knowing exactly why Earl didn't show up today. Jacob looked around and found that Earl's house was clean, but it felt like something was missing in this place.
"I'm not feeling well, so I don't want to go." Earl picked up a teapot on the table and began to pour tea.
There was a set of chess sitting on the table. Jacob finally realized what was wrong. It turned out that Earl was playing chess alone.
How lonely and boring it would be to play chess alone? Jacob didn't get angry at all after hearing Earl's words.
On the contrary, Jacob felt lucky. He could tell that Earl was an upright man and he was not as cunning as others.
Some people would talk sweet, but it would be impossible if you want them to do anything.
"Mr. Earl, why are you not satisfied? Is the company unfair to you?"
Jacob had always been polite. He was here to persuade Earl, not to blame or scold him, so he spoke in a respectful and friendly tone.
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Jacob. I don't think I will have anything to do after the company transformation. It is also what most people in the company think. That's your plan didn't go well. "
Earl handed a cup of tea to Jacob, but his eyes were always fixed on the chess pieces in front of him.
Jacob didn't know if Earl was really looking at the chess pieces or just avoiding his gaze. Anyway, Earl looked very calm.
Jacob didn't say anything, but thought for a while. He didn't see that coming. He thought that the experienced employees were making trouble for him, but now he realized that there was a reason behind it.
"I haven't thought about it before. But since the company will be transformed, I will certainly consider it as well. Don't worry about your treatment after the company transformed, Mr. Earl. "
Jacob frowned tightly. His attitude towards Earl changed dramatically. He felt embarrassed when he knew the other's difficulties.
Besides, he was the one who brought difficulties to him.
"Mr. Jacob, I didn't mean that. You still don't understand. I can do anything to make a living. But I love textile industry. I will miss my job even if I have to quit this industry."
Earl looked at Jacob directly. The moment his eyes met Jacob's, the communication between them was going on silently.
Jacob was stunned by Earl's words. Earl's words made sense. No one would regret for moving forward, but there were always something that you couldn't take away or give up.
That was why many people would hesitate in making choices and afraid of losing in their lives, because many things were indeed very important.
But there were so many important things in life, so they could only choose the most important one to stick to.
Jacob looked at Earl with firmness in his eyes. "I got it, Mr. Earl. But when spring comes, a withered tree would come to life again."
Jacob paused. His eyes fell on a painting on the wall, which was full of green trees and flowers, which was not in accordance with the current season.
"The company's development has have a bottleneck in the period. Even if it passes, it may not be able to come to life again. What's more, what if it can't survive without transformation?"
Jacob's tone was very calm and rational. He had to explain it to Earl what he thought about the company's development honestly.
Earl was stunned by his words. "I know the company needs to be transformed, but Mr. Jacob, don't you think it's too much? We don't know anything about the energy industry. The company would enter an emerging and new industry it had never encountered before. Don't you think it's too thoughtless?"
Jacob thought about Earl's words. He had planned to tell Earl that he wanted to keep their conversation between them, but he immediately realized that it was not right.
If a company wanted to succeed, it definitely couldn't rely on a certain person. The final result depended on whether they could put forth a united effort.
"Mr. Earl, do you know why this game stuck?"
Jacob didn't answer Earl's question directly. Instead, he looked down at the chess in front of him carefully. Earl played this game alone, but Jacob could see through the game.
The chariot on the other side was close to the chief. In order to protect the chief, Earl had to give up the chariot, but Earl was unwilling to move.
"I know, but I don't want to, because I think the chariot is very important to me. If I abandon it now, I may not win this game."
Earl was still struggling. He knew he had to make that choice, he just couldn't let it go.
Jacob didn't say anything. He moved the chariot and placed it in front of the chief.
"Mr. Earl, no pain, no gain. This is life. If you didn't use your chariot to stop the chief, this chess game would be over. But if you have stop the chief, there may be a chance to win."
Jacob picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. It was the authentic West Lake Longjing tea. It seemed that Earl had a good taste.
"Now I know why Miss Sara is willing to hand over the company to you. I thought you had unearned reputation. Now I know I'm wrong. "
With a smile on his face, Earl finally felt relieved.
Now he had an answer to his questions. Most of the time, he just needed an answer.
"Do I still have a place in the company?"
Earl smiled. If Jacob said no, he would accept it anyway. After all, the survival of the fittest was the rule of this society.
Earl continued, "Sometimes, many people can see through it. But they just need an excuse to persuade themselves to make the choice. What we are afraid of is not the transformation of the company, but that we will be useless to the company. We are afraid that we can't do what we like in the future." Jacob lay back on the wooden chair. The ceiling was gray, and the air was extremely dry and hot. However, Jacob was calm in his heart.
It was almost the end of their conversation. Earl spoke out of his worries and the key point, and half of the success was achieved once they found the main problems.
"Earl, as long as you have passion, you can do anything and be anyone you want. In this society, there is always a common rule among many things that seemed not related. Did those successful people succeed because they had chosen the right field? I don't think so. They could still be succeed even if they work in another industry. "☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
