The Amazing son in law Chapter 6778

However, he has decided not to protect Jacob any longer.

This means that Jacob’s resignation email has provided a perfect opportunity for him to sever ties with Jacob.

He could have simply replied to the email with a straightforward acknowledgment of Jacob’s resignation, allowing Jacob to pack his things and leave the association.

Yet, he was concerned that Jacob might cause trouble late at night, especially since Jacob needed to catch a flight back to Dubai the following morning. As a result, he chose to approve Jacob’s resignation the next day, hoping that by the time Jacob arrived in Dubai, he would have a few days to process everything.

Just five minutes after Jacob sent his resignation email, President Pei responded. Jacob opened the reply and saw that President Pei had written: “Vice President Jacob has chosen to resign, which is a significant loss for our association. However, we respect Vice President Jacob’s personal circumstances and wishes. I would like all vice presidents to meet in my office tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM to discuss this matter together.”

Jacob was puzzled about why President Pei would reply in a way that summoned all the other vice presidents to his office. Upon closer inspection, Jacob realized that President Pei had copied everyone on the email.

Copying everyone in a reply was akin to forwarding the email to all those individuals.

Jacob felt uneasy; matters like this could be discussed internally among the president and a few vice presidents, making it unnecessary to involve everyone. He quickly sent a voice message via Weibo to President Pei, asking, “President Pei, did you accidentally copy everyone in your reply to my email?”

President Pei responded: “Jacob, we are all aware of this situation, so there’s no need to keep it hidden. It’s better for us to appear transparent and fair. Rest assured, I will handle the discussions discreetly with the other presidents tomorrow.”

Jacob thought about it and realized that President Pei made a valid point. His situation had already become common knowledge within the antiques and art community, so there was no real reason to conceal it within the association. Since it was all just a performance, being open about it might actually be more convincing.

Feeling relieved, he told President Pei, “I’ll be flying back to Dubai tomorrow morning, so please take care of things here!”

President Pei assured him, “Don’t worry, Jacob, I’ll definitely handle it.”

Jacob believed him and smiled, saying, “I’ll treat you to a nice drink at Tian Xiang Fu when I return!”

Upon hearing this, President Pei couldn’t help but murmur to himself, “Tian Xiang Fu? Master Don Albert doesn’t even care about you anymore. Maybe when you come back, I’ll be more popular there than you.”

With a sigh, President Pei tossed his phone aside and remarked to his wife, “I’m not really falling on my sword here; after all, Jacob’s actions are his own doing, right, dear?”

His wife quickly agreed, saying, “Of course, you’re not falling into a trap; you’re just taking the opportunity to distance yourself from him. You shouldn’t just convene a small meeting with a few vice presidents; instead, call for a general meeting with everyone present. If Jacob truly doesn’t want to stay in the association, we should put it to a vote by show of hands to gauge everyone’s sentiments.”

“If the majority wants Jacob to stay, then you can keep him. But if the consensus is that he should leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association, you won’t bear the blame alone. It’ll be a collective decision.”

President Pei responded, “Even without this incident, Jacob would still need to go. He’s the least competent person in our association, and everyone knows he lacks the necessary professional level. I’ve expressed my concerns about him before.”

His wife nodded, laughing, “That’s perfect! If Jacob questions you later, just tell him it was the group’s decision. He can’t blame you for the consequences of his own actions. If he wants to assign blame, it’s on him!”
