Chapter 811 Susan Back


    Chapter 811 Susan Back


    It was beyond Susan''s expectations that this business trip took her half a month, as she had expected


    to finish the trip in a week. And her project had been nearly wrecked by so many unexpected events


    happening midway. She hadn''t realized that the customerpany had a little wish for cooperation


    with Phillips Bank till she was in deep conversation with the boss of thatpany. That was why the


    officers of thatpany had always rejected Susan''s requests for a meeting with them. The project


    would have failed if Susan hadn''t gone to visit their office. Luckily, the officers there were favourably


    impressed by the sincerity of Susan''s party. Susan waited outside the customerpany for meeting


    the officers every day and finally got an opportunity to cooperate.


    It was afternoon when Susan and Matt returned to Kensbury City after signing the contract with that


    trip, worrying about the contract every night. But as soon as they came back to Kensbury City, they just


    got a phone call from Manuel and they were asked to go to the office.


    Later, they arrived at Manuel''s office, exhausted. There was nothing changed these days. Susan


    looked calm andposed. Suddenly, the door opened, and ra Stern came into the office with


    three cups of coffee.


    "President, your mocha, please. I made it for you." Smiled ra.


    Manuel nodded, "Thank you."


    ra had a sweet smile on her face. She passed the other two coffees to Susan and Matt and then


    went out.


    Susan felt Manuel was in a bad mood. "The contract has been signed." She began and handed the


    contract to Manuel.


    Manuel took a nce at the file.


    "The content of this contract meets the requirement of ourpany. The customerpany is gratified


    at the cooperation with us." Susan continued.


    "If so, why it took so much time?" asked Manuel.


    Susan hesitated a moment, and then exined, "In fact, they have no intention of cooperating with us,


    for they are in negotiation with otherpanies. It concerns them that weck experience in cross-


    industry projects. That''s why they had always rejected our requests for a meeting with them. The


    matter was not what I had prefigured it. This project would have fizzled if you hadn''t called my attention


    to that."


    Susan was filled with admiration at Manuel''s insightful view when she realized the customerpany


    had no intention of cooperating with Phillips Bank. She had thought they had been too busy to give an


    interview to her. Now she had learned that there was no ce for sincerity and sentiment in business


    affairs.


    Manuel still had a poker face, silent.


    Susan continued, "We had stayed there every day to have a meet with them those days, and finally we


    met them. They agreed to meet us for showing respect to you." That''s not her ttering remarks, but


    the facts. On the one hand, it was Susan who had struck a chord in them. On the other hand, they


    thought highly of Manuel''s business talents. "They had challenged our ability to engage in cross-


    industry business in the beginning, but they started to hesitate when I mentioned you. Shortly


    afterwards, they told me they believed in your business talents and decided to cooperate with us after


    careful consideration. That''s the whole story of the contract." Susan continued.


    It was also from this matter that Susan found the gap between her and Manuel had been increasingly


    widened. She had always given the cold shoulder to Manuel in her childhood, yet now she felt she was


    out of his league.


    Manuel still kept silent when Susan finished her report. Then Susan just sat there quietly and waited for


    his criticism. She thought, "Whatever you think, fine by me." She had an increasingly peaceful state of


    mind now.


    "Susan, you are the general manager, and you bear the responsibility of thepany. Didn''t you think


    you''re going away affect thepany''s operations?" Manuel asked.


    Manuel didn''t award praise for her. Instead, he med herck of due consideration.


    "I''ll not do that again." She admitted her fault readily, without exnation. She worked remotely at the


    hotel these days, and sometimes she still worked atte night. Yet that couldn''t be the reason for her,


    she thought. The only thing she needed to do was to admit her fault as Manuel said.


    "You must get my permission for wherever you go," Manuel said in a cold voice.


    "Yes," responded Susan immediately.


    "You may get out now." Said Manuel.


    Susan and Matt got out of the office then. They were quite sleepy.


    "You can go home now." Susan began.


    Matt didn''t say no, since he was indeed exhausted from the business trip. He had wanted to defend


    Susan when Manuel criticized her, but he suppressed his thoughts. It wasmon that one would


    think of himself more in the workce.


    "OK, and you?" said Matt.


    "Do you think I can leave now? Manuel is not satisfied with me at all." Susan said resignedly.


    "Then I…"


    "You just go home. You''re my direct subordinate, not Manuel''s." Susan interrupted him. It was


    umon to bypass the immediate leadership in the workce. "You just have a good sleep, and we


    have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow." Susan continued.


    "All right. Take care!" said Matt.


    Susan nodded. She thought she was young and could withstand stress.
