Roland informed plainly, “These few projects I mentioned need a very large amount of upfront investment.”

"Of course, we know that. We don’t need you to tell us that.”

“What kind of project doesn’t need a large sum of upfront investment anyway?”

"The funds for these projects have been pre-allocated since the start of the year. You don’t have to come up with a measly excuse to justify your intentionally picking on us!”

All three of Jimmy, Charles, and Lester glared at Roland discontentedly.

The others joined in and threw snide remarks at Roland, “Mr. Roland, you’re only worried because you don’t want us to spend all the company funds that you hoped would go into your pockets instead, aren’t you?”

"The funds allocated to our projects are all in the public account. They won’t go into his pockets no matter what.”
