When Ron finished, the whole conference room fell silent. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"And, I promise that I will do my best to find the director. As for the money he borrowed, it is an oversight by the RA Group, so the company is responsible to pay the debt.
Now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Ron leaned back on his chair. Although he might have appeared gentle to these people at that moment, in truth he was feared and respected in RA Group. Otherwise, he would not be the president of the company.
Seizing this opportunity, a reporter stood up and asked, "So, Mr. Mu, didn't you know what the director was doing? Or was the director acting on your orders?"
The reporter's question was direct and bold.
All eyes in the conference room turned to Ron simultaneously. They were eagerly waiting for his answer.
In addition to paying back the money, there was another important matter that was of interest to the audience—was Director Zhang's misdeed his own doing or was Ron the mastermind behind it?
For his part, Ron did not show any signs of panic after hearing this accusatory question. He answered calmly, "Mr. Zhang is indeed the director of our company, but nobody in the company was aware of his crime.
Moreover, I returned to J City just yesterday. When I came back, I was told that something had happened in the company. I rushed to the office as soon as I could. So I didn't know anything about it, before coming here."
"I can corroborate this. I called the president and told him what happened yesterday as soon as I got the news,"
the assistant cut in to save his boss.
"So, Mr. Mu, do you know why Director Zhang did this? Was there any misunderstanding between him and the RA Group? Or was it specifically directed at the RA Group?"
another reporter asked again as the first reporter sat down.
"Mr. Zhang had been appointed the director of the company ever sinc

"I'm sorry. My place is too small to entertain a great man like you."
"Why do you say that? I'm in good shape; I won't take much room," he grinned and quickly made his way in, while talking to her.
Ellie was very close to the door and she did not expect Francis to squeeze in to her apartment. As he inched past her, he got very close, so she immediately stepped back.
"Get out!" Ellie barked in anger.
It was not appropriate for a man and a woman to be in the same room at this late hour. She believed that Francis was not interested in her, but still, she did not want to be alone with him.
He looked at Ellie pitifully. "How can you be so cruel? I came all this way to see you, but you're chasing me away like this.
Well, I don't care. Anyway, as long as I have come in, I won't leave,"
he stated coolly, walking into the living room and sitting down on her sofa. He really knew how to make himself at home.
Ellie had never met such a thick-skinned person. She did not know what to say to him anymore.
In the end, she exhaled loudly and shut the door. She proceeded to do her own things as if he was not present in the room.
Francis put his hands on the sofa and watched Ellie. Ellie paused what she was doing, but then continued minding her own business.
