Chapter 159: Grand Banquet After abusy half month, things at the company had settled down, and Bruce finally returned from his business trip, much to Sylvia’s relict.

“You have no idea how diligently I worked every day while you were away. I didn’t dare to slack off for fear of causing any major trouble for the company. Thankfully, you’re bark.” After this episode, Sylvia realized that although Broce could handle the company matters, his experience far surpassed hers. Many tasks still posed headaches for her, as she was relatively Inexperienced compared to Bruce.

Bruce had been involved in company affairs since he was 18, whereas Sylda was just starting out.

It was natural that she found it challenging to navigate through tasks with the same ease as Bruce.

“It’s normal. You’ll encounter more of these situations in the future. Eventually, I’ll delegate all this information to you. You need to grow quickly. The workload is immense, and all I’ve wanted these years is to have some proper test,”

Bruce’s expression was earnest. Over the years, he had dedicated himself to the company, of course, he had also attended to matters at home diligently, but now with Sylvia willing to take over, he saw it as opportunity to relax.

However, after hearing Bruce’s words, Sylvia’s eyes widened.

“Are you planning to throw me into the deep end just like that? You know, I’m not very knowledgeable about the company’s affairs.”

“Exactly because you’re not well–versed in the company’s matters, there will be hands–on experiences. Only through practice can you identify the issues you face. But don’t worry, I’ll assist you gradually, I have another business trip next month, which will take about a month. During that time, focus on handling the company’s affairs well. As long as we don’t go bankrupt, feel free to experiment with the company. Of course, you still need to deliver results. There’s a collaboration next month, so prepare for it.” Given that Sylvia had recently taken over the company’s affairs, it was normal for her to encounter difficulties Bruce believed that as long as the company didn’t go bankrupt, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

After all, their family shared the same attitude towards Sylvia. If she made a mess, they would cover for her.

Sylvia sighed, beeling the pressure mounting. Yet, she found satisfaction in the challenge; pressure fueled her motivation.

“Don’t worry, I won’t bankrupt the company. Oh, by the way, I received an Invitation yesterday from a company I’m not familiar with. Should I attend?”

Sylvia hadn’t heard of this company before, suggesting it might not be local. Since her assistant was busy and likely unaware, she turned to Bruce for advice. Depending on his response, she would prepare accordingly.

Bruce took the invitation from Sylvia and glanced at it before setting it aside. It seemed they were invited to quite a grand event.

“This company is a foreign one. They’ve been transitioning into the medical field in recent years, previously engaged in real estate development and other projects, Including the IT industry.”

Bruce briefly introduced the background of the company. Sylvia nodded in understanding. It appeared to be a longstanding company undergoing transformation. Their sudden invitation was likely an attempt to expand their market, hence the invitation to local enterprises.

“In that case, we should probably attend,”

*Indeed. I’ll call the stylist to prepare early. We’ll head over in the late afternoon after work.”

With plans set, Bruce returned to his work, and when they were almost done in the afternoon, they packed up and left together. Originally, Juliette intended to join them, but she had her family’s obligations at the event, so she didn’t accompany them With many attendees, Bruce and Sylvia mingled with the crowd, exchanging greetings. Among them was Cyril, whom Sylvia didn’t find surprising; such events brought diverse encounters.

“Keep some distance from Cyril.”

Bruce, feeling uneasy, pulled Sylvia closer and earnestly cautioned her. Given Cyril’s recent antics in France, Bruce wasn’t sure what trouble he might stir up.

“I know, bro. You can relax.”

As long as Cyril didn’t approach her with his usual recklessness, Sylvia wouldn’t engage in anything problematic.

After chatting for a while, Sylvia spotted a familiar figure on the second floor staircase, briefly passing by. Struggling to recall where she had seen him before, she furrowed her brows, deep in thought.

dancing at her, Bruce remembered bearing about her helping someone in France. Although he hadn’t paid attention to who was on the second floor, it was likely the host “It might be an employee. We’ll find out soon. Don’t wander around; the banquet is about to begin.”

“I’m not a three–year–old. I know what to do. Let’s go chat with those two over there, they have some connections to our collaborations.”

In such settings, maintaining relationships was crucial.

Sylvia and Bruce busied themselves mingling with others, while Cyll also remained engaged in conversations, not letting his guard down “I never realized Sylvia and Bruce had such a good relationship. They’ve been inseparable for so long. Oh, I heard your grandfather took your mother and sister to the var family recently. But it seems the head of the Ivanov family supported Sylvia.”
