Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV: 

Anya came in, carrying a laptop bag in one hand and a small suitcase in the other.She looked like she was going on a business trip.

The second she entered the office, she ordered, "Everyone, set aside your work, and go to the conference room at once."

She breezed through the progress of all ongoing projects.

And at the end of the meeting, she gave me a special assignment, asking me to collect all relevant information I could get about Zhester Technology.

Before leaving, she told everyone, "I’m going abroad for two weeks.If you have any questions, you can either send me an email or ask Phil."

"Yes, ma’am!" Everyone nodded.

Anya had many projects that she personally handled, and she was the legal counselor of several listed companies.

Almost all year round, she went on business trips across the world.

We had no idea which project she was handling that needed her to go abroad this time.

Before leaving the meeting room, Phil approached me and whispered, "Boswell, and another designer named Jane have developed a product concept, but unfortunately, a competitor plagiarized it.They’re now engaging in a lawsuit and Anya is their acting lawyer.The headquarters of Zhester Technology is abroad, so she has to go on a business trip with George."

I looked at Phil in shock.It was no wonder Anya went all the way to Philly just to meet with Boswell.

It turned out that she just wanted to take an indirect path into reaching her goal.

Instead of directly talking about the merger and acquisition case, she decided to take on a small case to start with.

Once she had gained the trust of Boswell and the company’s legal department, she’d soon earn George’s trust.

Now that I had heard that, I admired Anya even more.She was truly dependable! Phil said to me, "You should learn from Anya.You have potential, tenacity, and you know when to think ahead.In our industry, professional knowledge is a gateway to success.But the chance to achieve long-term career growth depends on one’s dedication to the job, attention to detail, and sense of responsibility."

I nodded eagerly and replied, "I’ll make sure to work even harder! Thanks for the advice, Phil!"

Phil chuckled at my response.

"Got any other way to thank me?"

"Well, let me treat you to lunch then! Are you available later this noon?"
