Chapter 2664
The director said firmly, "Eevonne, if they're so assertive and no longer willing to work with US because of a personal matter or because you were late for one and a half hours, do you think we still need to keep this company? This company is indeed very outstanding in every aspect, but it is not also exclusive. On the contrary, it would be very difficult for their company to accept such a big order like ours that could sustain their business for two years. This Is especially when the economy is not doing great right now. I don’t want to compromise with them because firstly, I want to protect our company's attitude. Secondly, I also want to protect my own staff. In the past, when Mister Ford was running the company, he had said before that if our company wanted to grow stronger, then we have to put our staff first. If our company doesn't protect you this time, what would other staff be thinking? What if it causes a panic? Then, wouldn't the company be a goner soon?"
Eevonne was speechless. At that moment, she was very touched.
"Calm yourself down. I'll hand in the report to the headquarters. We...won't be collaborating with them anymore!"
Eevonne opened her mouth as she wanted to say something, but the director had already left. A few colleagues came up to comfort her.
"Eevonne, that kind of person is too arrogant. How can he request our company to change a person just because there's a conflict between you guys in the past? That's too unreasonable!"
"Oh, yes, Eevonne, why are you late for one and a half hours today at this juncture? You've always been so hard -working, and you're always already in the company before we got here. When we ask you about it, you always say that the slow person should always start working early, but you've helped US do so many things. Your Spanish has improved a lot now. That translation for the tough and uncommon words that I've encountered the last time, I later felt that your translation was the right one. Eevonne, I feel if our department has lost you, then it would truly be the company's loss. What the director did is right!"
"Eevonne, we support you!"
"Eevonne, you'll be getting your level six certification for your Spanish soon, right? You're going to be getting your college diploma in another two years. In the future, let's see who else still has the guts to scold you."
When she saw her colleagues standing up for her and helping her, Eevonne suddenly felt that she was very worthy. She simply felt that she was living in the real world at that moment. Everything in the past, on the other hand, was just an illusion. She had always been imagining that if she had achieved academic success, had a successful career, and had all sorts of glamor, then she could hold her head up high in front of her family and neighbors.
However, at that moment, she was very pragmatic and had been keeping her own feet on the ground.
Everything that she got was gained by working for it one step at a time, so it was very stable and solid. She would not be affected by anything. She would remain standing tall even if she encountered a torrential storm. A person has to be real. That was the truth that Eevonne has arrived at. Respect was something to be won by one’s own effort.
"I thank you all. Thank you," Eevonne said sincerely. "I... even if I...were to resign from this place, I also felt like I had gained a lot. I’ve regained my dignity. Thank you all. But..."
She felt that since all these people helped her so much, she has the need to tell them the truth.
