As soon as she finished speaking, the whole room went dead silent.
Jacob couldn't help but lower his brows and burst into laughter, "Secretary Tesdal has a good point."
"What do you mean? Don't want to negotiate with us, huh?" The leading villager suddenly stood up and slammed the table.
Sawyer hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Calm down! Calm down!"
He looked at Rosalynn, "Secretary Tesdal, We really should discuss this properly. Being stubborn won't help. Delaying the project will only result in losses for the company."
Rosalynn looked at Sawyer inexplicably, "Stubborn? Mr. Galen, I'm talking about the facts. Where did I say wrong?"
Sawyer's smile nearly crumbled off his face.
He was furious to be suppressed by a woman.
Sawyer looked at Jacob.
Logically speaking, this Mr. Jacob should have a higher rank, so why was he allowing a woman to cause trouble here?
"President Strand, look, both of you came all the way here to solve the problem. You can't let Secretary Tesdal mess around like this, can you?"
Jacob glanced at him and shrugged helplessly, "Secretary Tesdal represents the president. Her opinion is the president's opinion."
Sawyer was speechless, and Rosalynn remained calm, as if waiting to see how they would continue.
He gritted his teeth and turned to the villagers.
"Everyone, you've heard her. Unlike me, Ms. Tesdal represents the president and she can make all the decisions here. You don't need to hold back, if you have any demands, just ask!"
Everyone looked at each other.
They had discussed this before, and when Sawyer said this, it meant they could start talking about money.
"We understand your situation, and relocation is tough and costly. So here's the deal: give us 200 million, and we'll relocate the graves," the leading man held up two fingers.
"200 million?" Jacob was shocked.
