Chapter 289 Unhappy Beginning of Year 1
Emily naturally didn't agree with Jake's point of view, but as she'd said before she knew something like this could happen and so didn't want to talk from the start, even if she didn't agree with Jake, Emily trusted Jake's vision a lot and hoped for the company to make more profits from these riskier investments.
Jake respected Emily very much and knew he was lucky to have her working for him, unfortunately maybe he couldn't use all of Emily's investment talents, yet he wanted her to know that she helped him a lot.
"Emily, I know you want only the best for the company and are concerned about investments, but I want you to know that I have complete confidence in my vision for investments."
"I think I always review and choose the best investment option and it's impossible for you or anyone else to change my mind about it, maybe if one day I could make a mistake I won't take your opinion of it anymore."
"Still you help me a lot and it's critical to the company, I trust you and all administrative and employee management decisions of the company are yours, you are also my personal representative and lawyer."
"So the best way to help me is to keep doing what you have been doing, especially since over the next few years I will be very busy with basketball and marathons."
Jake knew he might sound arrogant saying something like that, but since he couldn't tell anyone he knew what would happen in the future, he better say he didn't want to hear other people's opinions because he was overconfident.
So even if he seemed arrogant no one could criticize his decisions unless he made a mistake, after all, he really would need Emily's help in the coming years to handle his business.
This time she might not have been very upset that Jake hadn't listened to her advice, but in the future, she might be dissatisfied thinking he didn't trust her, so it was better that he looks arrogant now and make Emily give up advice.
After that Emily left her house to make the investments Jake requested, she didn't seem bothered that Jake heard him, but it seemed she found it unpleasant that Jake was arrogant like that.
Jake was very fond of Emily as it would work and even with a friend, but he always tried to keep a distance and treated her as his assistant and business partner, he learned from his experience in his past life that keeping some distance with employees was important.
The fact that Jake always tried to be humble even with everything he achieved could make others think he was very easy going, so for Jake a bit of arrogance was necessary to look natural.
After talking to Emily, Jake had finished all the business he had to settle in Miami, so for the next few days he spent plenty of time at the restaurant to talk and spend more time with Eva.
After another week Jake said goodbye to his mother again and went to college, he wanted to spend more time at home, but coach Smith asked the players to return before the end of the year.
Jake naturally refused and only came back on January 2 when two days left for the first game of the year, Jake knew he might end up angering the coach, but he was willing to face the coach's anger to spend both holidays at home.
When Jake returned he went first to the dorm and talked to his friends who were all still in college, just as Jake though none of them ended up deciding to come home for a few days as Jake did.
