He slightly cleared his throat and looked at Amelia with embarrassment, "Madam Amelia Ramsay, why is your hair so messy? Why is your face so dirty? You..."
"Stop!" Amelia had sworn that she would never want to hear a parallel sentence again in her lifetime!
She rubbed her face which had been splashed with paint. Although it turned out to be useless, at least she had tried to clean it!
As Jonathan and the others gaze were getting full of misery, Amelia dropped her hand and said to Jonathan, "Uncle Tucker, take it as a being grandiose."
Jonathan and the other directors were speechless.
As for the people from the Environmental Protection Bureau, they had already begun to discuss Amelia's personal image privately. In their opinion, as an acting director, Amelia was incompetent!
Jonathan signalled Amelia with his eyes and then took her to the officers of the Environmental Protection Bureau. They were standing neatly in a row. He said with some difficulty, "Dear leaders, this is our company's chairperson, President Ramsay."
Amelia's face was full of colours but she solemnly reached out her hand and was ready to say hello to the people of the Environmental Protection Bureau.
However, how could her hands be clean after she had rubbed her face?
The officers from the Environmental Protection Bureau moved his hands to his back and said, "Nice to meet you!" In a very good manner and they consider this as a proper greeting.
Seeing this, Amelia was not bothered too. "I've heard about the so-called business from Director Tucker but this is not a good place to talk about it. It would be nice if we can talk about this in my office. Please come with me."
In Amelia's office.
As soon as the door was opened, Amelia's hairstyle bothered the assistant.
The assistant's behavior was as if she was watching monkeys in the zoo, and it made Amelia's felt uncomfortable.
She held back her impulse to hit her and said, "Audrey didn't you see all these officers behind me? Go and get some tea."
"Sure, right away!" Audrey came back to her senses and quickly lowered the document in her hand. She bowed her head towards the officials and rushed out.
Even if she was far away from the department store she could still hear the laughter ringing in her ear. She really had the urge to rush back to Roxxon and fight the little girl who dumped coloring on her.
Hearing Amelia clenching her little fist so tightly, the officers of the Environmental Protection Bureau could not help but look at each other. What was Amelia doing? Was she planning of beating them up?
But perhaps they misunderstood Amelia. When Amelia looked at them, she became enthusiastic and said "Please take a seat."
"Take a seat? Where should we sit?" the officials thought.
There were only four small sofas and one larger one in her office but there were a total of ten of them.
The Apex Construction Corporation was really failing, even the president of the corporation could not afford a much better sofa.
As the officers were disgusted with the declination of Apex Construction Corporation, Amelia was also disgusted with them.
They look fat and stupid. What's more, why would so many of them come at once, what should she do if they broke the sofa that she imported from Italy.
Even though they were disgusted, a few officers quickly occupied the four small sofas and the remaining of them would have to squeeze in the larger sofa with grievance...
The scene of layers of meat and fat piled up together made Amelia uncomfortable.
With her eyes half-closed, she leaned against the desk behind her and asked, "Well, everyone, I heard that the sewage in the staff restaurant of our company is too dirty. Can you tell me more about it?"
All the officers nodded and one of them said, "President Ramsay, there is one thing I need to be clear with you first."
"Go ahead."
"The Apex Construction Corporation is attached to the river and you are the only large company nearby, the rest of them were just normal residential houses. You know that, don't you?"
"I do."
The other party showed an expression of 'its good that you know' and said, "Recently, someone has anonymously filed a complaint to our station. They state that there was an unknown floating object in the river. It was contaminating the
environment. After our inspection, we found that the floating object was all food waste, as the amount of waste disposed was more than any normal residential could produce. We now suspect that it was the Apex Construction Corporation that caused this." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Amelia replied, "Oh is that so?" She glanced at Jonathan, who had been silent for a long time. She wanted to get some useful information from him.
As a result, Jonathan nodded slightly but then shook his head again. He was like an eminent fortuneteller, who would not speak the truth of anything.
Amelia could not ask Jonathan in front of the Environmental Protection Bureau. It would seem like she did not trust them.
When Amelia was secretly communicated with Jonathan through eye contact, someone from the Environmental Protection Bureau said, "According to the rules, we will assign a fine to the Apex Construction Corporation and we will need the corporation to cooperate with solving the water pollution issues! Otherwise, we can only expose this matter and let all the companies be aware of it."
Upon hearing the word 'expose¹, Amelia's instinct reacted immediately. "Of course we'll cooperate! We will do all we can to cooperate with you!"
As she did not know the truth behind all these, she could only follow what the officers said. Otherwise, she and the company would not be able to bear it if she had disregarded them.
The people of the Environmental Protection Bureau were very satisfied with Amelia's respectful attitude. After exchanging glances with each other, someone said with a strange expression, "If President Ramsay wants to deal with this in private, we can make an exception."
What a tempting sentence!
However, Amelia knew that this issue was not that simple because she saw Jonathan secretly making gestures to her. It was clear that Jonathan meant 'no'!
Amelia rolled her eyes and said humbly to the officers on the sofa, "Dear officers, to tell the truth, I want to settle this in private too. But I am just an acting chairperson, I don't have the rights to make the decision, and I don't have the right to privately mobilize the company's capital. How about you giving me more time and I will initiate an emergency meeting with the board of directors so that I can tell you the final decision?"
Upon hearing this, the people of the Environmental Protection Bureau frowned and pondered. Anyway, it seemed that they were not happy with this answer.
Amelia felt this was strange. She wanted to follow the rules and solve this issue but this group of people seemed to prefer her solving it privately.
At this time, Amelia once again took a glimpse at Jonathan from the corner of her eyes. Jonathan was shaking his head so hard that it almost fell off. Fortunately for him, he was standing in the corner and no one noticed his abnormal behaviour except Amelia.
It was also because of this that Amelia completely dispelled the idea of dealing with this issue privately. "So officers, what do you think about it?"
The people of the Environmental Protection Bureau stared at her for a moment and said, "Well then, well wait for President Ramsay's updates."
At the end of their words, the ten of them straightened up from the sofa and expressed that they would like to leave.
Amelia opened her mouth and asked in an ingratiating manner, "Don't you want to have a cup of tea before you leave?"
The people of the Environmental Protection Bureau declined politely, "There's no need, we have other important things to deal with."
