Jacob paused and looked at the flashing lights in front of him. The faces of the journalists were hidden
behind the lights. Everything was like a dream from Jacob's perspective.
"We have found out the cause of the accident that everyone is concerned about. Today, we will publish
the news once and for all. In order to ensure the authenticity of our statement, we have invited the
police. The police officer is just sitting between me. " Jacob pointed at the policeman beside him.
The latter nodded in agreement. Jacob paused for a second and continued.
"I'm sorry for what happened this time. After all, it happened in the factory of our company. We didn't
expect the accident to happen, nor did we expect the cause of the accident. One of the employees'
wife was seriously ill and needed a lot of medical fees. In order to save money, the employee roasted
potatoes in the factory to feed himself, which finally caused an accident. "
Jacob looked serious. Thinking of Jim's name, his heart sank. Even though he didn't know this
employee, he could still feel how great the man was.
"Someone may question why our factory allows employees to use a furnace. The winter in the North
was very cold. The temperature in the factory was about the same as outside. The company wanted to
take care of all the employees based on humanity. Besides, after the test, the furnace won't explode
without open fire. "
Jacob looked at the camera with his bright eyes. If his eyes flickered because of uneasiness and
uncertainty before, then now he won't do that again.
"I believe the company is responsible for this problem. We shouldn't have ignored the emotions and
family life of our employees. It's our fault that we didn't know about the difficulties our employees were
facing in time. On behalf of the whole company, I apologize to the victims in the explosion and their
families. "
Jacob stood up and bowed deeply. Now that things had come to this extent, the company's
responsibility could not be shirked. But as long as the accident was not caused by the loopholes on
management and equipment of the company, the responsibilities on Jacob's part was limited.
"Mr. Jacob, will you really believe the reason given if you were us?" Colin asked in a sharp voice. He
had been listening carefully to Jacob's words, hoping to find the loophole in it.
"Why would I not believe that? Isn't life full of ridiculous yet real accidents? If you don't believe me, you
can find other evidence or go through the court process. "
Jacob reminded himself patiently not to be irritable at this moment.
"Why are you evading to tell the truth? What are you trying to hide?" Colin didn't give up, as if he was
the hero today.
"I don't know when did I evade. If there is anything I can't explain clearly, you can ask my lawyer."
There was no expression on Jacob's face. He must keep calm on such a serious occasion today.
"Then why don't you answer my question directly?" Colin seemed to have the right to speak. Last time,
Jacob embarrassed him, and this time, he must make Jacob more embarrassed.
"Does anyone has any other questions? The main purpose of our press conference today is to make
the announcement and allow time for questions, and I have answered the question this reporter asked
just now. If you insist on pestering me, I reserve the right to refuse to answer. "
Jacob directly refused to answer Colin's question. He was not obligated to answer each questions
anyway. Jacob had the right to keep silent. Besides, he had answered Collin already.
But he wouldn't subject to endless pestering.
"Then Mr. Jacob. How are you going to compensate the family? " A female reporter asked.
"We will discuss this with the family. The preliminary decision of the company was to make some
financial compensation. Besides that, we would visit the parents of the victims on a regular basis. In
addition, I'm going to set up a foundation after the accident. "
Jacob looked up at the audience. Chole was hidden in the crowd, but Jacob easily found her.
Perhaps Jacob not only learned how to deal with crisis, but also how to deal with love.
Only when a person was serious about love and was responsible for himself could he be responsible
for others.
"May I know why you are preparing for the foundation?" The female reporter's eyes lit up. This decision
sounded very attractive.
"Well, maybe it's because I've been touched by some affairs and people derived from this accident. I
think this world will be better if we could care more about the people around and try to help each other
out of pure love. "
Jacob fixed his eyes on Chole. He really wanted to say thank you to her. Thank them for teaching him
how to love and how to grow in adversity.
"Up to now, this accident had created extensive affection. For example, do you think it will cause panic
in the new energy industry? In other words, will this industry fall into some kind of predicament due to
this accident? "
The female reporter seemed to have asked the expected question for most people, and this was also
the predicament that the Shi Group might face. After all, the birth and development of anything new
could never avoid setbacks.
"There would be some negative impact caused to the industry, but there would always be difficulties in
the developing process of new industries. I firmly believe that as the members of such a vital industry,
the practitioners of this industry would conquer all the difficulties. "
Jacob fooled her by mentioning the Marxist philosophy he had learned before. Philosophy can be
useful sometimes.
The crowd nodded.
In fact, running a company was like raising a child. As the runners witnessed the process of a
company's birth and growth, they would also see all the difficulties a company meets in the process.
Just like see their children get sick.
When encountering a problem, if the first thought of the runners was to escape, the problem would
never be solved.
Therefore, Jacob would not flinch. The current difficulties were only temporary. There would always be
a day when all these difficulties would become a history.
"What experience will the Shi Group learn from this matter?" Obviously, the female reporter was not
trying to stir up more troubles. She was asking questions from an objective point of view. She didn't
want to make things difficult for Jacob. After all, there was no personal grudge between Jacob and her.
"I promise that the company will cherish its employees more and learn to treat them with tolerance and
care. In the future, we would create a better environment in the company for all of our employees. The
company is not a cold institute, but a warm family. "
Jacob revealed his heart sincerely. He couldn't believe these soulful words would come out from his
mouth one day. Now, these words naturally came out, just because a seed of love and humanity had
been planted in his heart.
Words may not save life, but literature could make life better.
After saying that, Jacob stood up and gave a hint to James.
Unsurprisingly, today's press conference should be over at this point.
"Wait a minute. I want to interview the families of the victims. As far as I know, this lady behind me was
so sad that she tried to jump off the building of the Shi Group that day, right? "
Colin's sharp voice sounded. A reporter with honor would not question an emotionally troubled party in
such a direct way. Colin's behavior was in fact a violation of the professional ethics as a
reporter.
