Chapter 423 Stubborn Old Man (1/2)
”Mr. Francis, I'm so sorry to get you on the news.”
Francis answered the phone when he was in a meeting. All the managers of the departments present looked at him chatting with the other over the phone, including Lewis. Hearing this, Francis smiled, ”It doesn't matter. The media likes to make groundless accusations. No one will remember it in a while.”
”How about we clarify it together? If we continue to talk about it like this, will GT Group's reputation be implicated?”
”It doesn't matter. I can't explain it clearly. Few people will believe me.” Francis turned the pen in his hand.
”I'm really sorry for that. How about treating you a meal? I've just learned several dishes recently and they taste good. How about tonight? ” The woman said.
”It's my honor to have the dishes you cook. But I've been very busy recently. I'm afraid I'm not free because I have an appointment with an investor tonight.” Francis said with a smile. Unexpectedly, he saw the impatient and disdainful expression on Lewis's face.
”Oh, that's a pity.”
”Or, if you don't mind, you can accompany me to see that investor tonight. It will be good to have a woman at the dinner table. You can help me with this. Just take it as your apology. What do you think? ”
”It's my duty to help you, Mr. Francis.” The woman said with a smile.
”See you tonight. Wait for me at home at six o'clock. I'll pick you up. Remember to dress up.”
”Okay, I'll wait Mr. Francis at home.”
Francis hung up the phone and put it on the table. He looked at the people in front of him and asked, ”What were we talking about just now? Why don't you continue?”
”Mr. Francis is flirting with a woman in front of so many people. We are afraid of disturbing you. How dare we continue to discuss?” Lewis satirized.
”Oh, I see. You don't have to worry about me. You can talk about it.” Francis looked very annoying.
”Mr. Francis!” Lewis, who was sitting opposite to him, suddenly threw away the document and stood up. ”This is the company, not your home. Even if you are the son of the old chairman, you can't ignore the company like this! What kind of occasion is it now? This is the strategic meeting of the GT Group. Why are you answering the phone here? What do you think of the management? ”
Most of the executives had whispers in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out like Lewis did. Some bowed their heads, while the others came out to be the peacemaker. ”It doesn't matter. Everyone in a company is like a friend. It's normal for a friend to answer a phone call in front of him. It's not as serious as Mr. Lewis said.”
