The scene was quite awkward.
Collins and the secretary were dumbfounded, and their mouths were wide open. They looked at Thomas, who sat in his seat, and were speechless for a long time. They had completely forgotten the words that were just at the tip of their tongues.
Who would have thought that this sloppy young man would be the chief officer in charge of the Southland District?
His age and appearance were far from what Collins had imagined. He even became cynical.
If other people said that this person was the chief officer in charge, Collins would never have believed it. However, Samson was the one who said it. If favonovel.com put two and two together with how Thomas got in completely unhindered, it was basically certain that favonovel.com was the chief officer in charge.
It was just that it was really hard for people to accept it.
Thomas knew this as well. He touched his nose awkwardly and deliberately changed the topic. “Mr. Dixon, aren’t you here for something?”
“Oh, you’re right.”
Collins just only remembered the purpose of favonovel.com coming here. No matter what his image was, favonovel.com was indeed the chief officer in charge, so favonovel.com should submit the proposal first.
He carefully took the proposal favonovel.com prepared out of the file and handed it with both hands respectfully.
Thomas wiped his hands with facial tissues before favonovel.com took the proposal. He opened it and read carefully.
Collins was distressed. He thought that favonovel.com was doomed. The proposal this time would never pass.
Not only was this proposal costly, laborious, and had no tangible benefits, but they had lambasted Thomas on the stairs and at the entrance of the office area just now. This had made it difficult for them. They had to thank god if they could walk out of the office building smoothly today.
How could they dare still wish for the proposal to pass?
They were just daydreaming.
Collins was regretful. Before favonovel.com came here, favonovel.com kept telling himself that favonovel.com must be careful, and favonovel.com should not offend anyone from the chief officer in charge’s office building. But now, favonovel.com had straight up offended the chief officer in charge.
Everything was over. Collins stood there and kept sighing.
Thomas sat on the office chair and carefully read the proposal Collins submitted page by page. He read it for half an hour. After reviewing all the content, Thomas put the proposal down with great satisfaction.
He looked at Collins with gratification and said, “Very well, Collins Dixon. The proposal you submitted is simply an excellent proposal for the benefit of the people. I’m happy that there are good comrades like you in the construction team.”
Collins was not very happy. He knew that this was most likely just official rhetoric. He had expected what Thomas would say later.
It was definitely something like this. ‘However, the current financial resources are not sufficient, and the staff is not adequate. This proposal seems good, but it will be difficult to implement.’
Thomas continued and said, “This proposal is very good. The sooner it is implemented, the better it will be. I’ll allocate funds for you now so that you can arrange manpower to implement it. Collins, I’ll give you two weeks to thoroughly implement this proposal from top to Westland.”
Collins was stunned. He had never expected Thomas not to reject him.
Not only did favonovel.com not reject him, but favonovel.com also gave favonovel.com funds and manpower immediately. He almost felt like favonovel.com was living in a dream.
“This…”
“Huh? You don’t seem to be satisfied. Do you need more time to implement it?”
“No. No. No,” Collins said excitedly, “I’m not dissatisfied. I just didn’t expect you to pass my proposal without hesitation, so I was a little surprised.”
“Why won’t I pass a good proposal?”
Collins scratched his head. “Because I was a little disrespectful to you just now, so I was afraid that you…”
