Chapter 1015 Luke's Advice
Sydney agreed with Chaim very much and nodded nonstop.
"I'm reluctant to be looked down upon by others and to hear that others say that I'm good for nothing and rely on Julien for everything, but..."
She supported her forehead and smiled bitterly. "But I just find that I have relied on Julien all the time and that I have accomplished few things by myself. It's ironic."
"Don't say that." Luke patted her shoulder. He didn't want to see her doubt herself and become decadent.
Chaim ate some food and then said, "Ms. Raines, you'd better not split hairs."
"What?" She put down her hand from her forehead and looked up at Chaim. "Mr. Houston, what do you mean?"
Chaim raised his hand and interrupted her. "How long have you run Skylight Corporation?"
She didn't know why he suddenly asked her this question, but she still replied without hesitation, "Almost six months."
Then he asked, "Have you ever learned management before you took over Skylight Corporation?"
She shook her head. "Of course, I haven't. I have never been interested in business management since I was a little kid. My father respected my interests and didn't force me to inherit the company. When I was in my teens, he even decided to hire a professional manager to run Skylight Corporation after he retired, so I could pursue my interests and not be tied to the company. However, before my father found a suitable professional manager, he..."
She became gloomy and fell silent.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Chaim touched his chin. "So you took over Skylight Corporation without any preparation, and you had never learned management before that?"
"You're right." She nodded. "To be honest, I basically teach myself to run the company. Luke and Julien have taught me how to run a business, but they have their own business and can't teach me all the time. Much of the time I don't know what I should do. Luckily, I keep Skylight Corporation running, and it hasn't gone bankrupt in my hand."
"As a novice, you're excellent. Although you can't let Skylight Corporation return to its zenith, you have made it run smoothly. It's remarkable. Thus, I advise you not to split hairs. You're reluctant to rely on Mr. Flint because you don't want others to think that Mr. Julien helps you run the company and thus look down upon you, but have you ever thought that you're just a novice instead of an old hand who has learned management for many years?" He looked at her.
She fell into a trance.
Luke blinked. "Mr. Houston, please get straight to the point. Don't keep us guessing."
She nodded in agreement.
Chaim smiled. "Alright, now that you say so, I will cut to the chase. Ms. Raines, I mean that you're just a novice at running a company, not an old hand who has learned business management for many years. Thus, you don't need to burden yourself. You can rely on Mr. Flint without any pressure and seek help from him because you're a novice. Outsiders won't think that it's inappropriate. On the contrary, if you're an old hand but still rely on Mr. Flint, outsiders will speak critically of you and think that you're incapable. In business, people are tolerant of novices, but you have never known about it. From the beginning, you think the business world is harsh from the very beginning, so you don't see the other side of it. Thus, I advise you not to split hairs."
"Er..." Hearing Chaim's words, she was at a loss.
Obviously, Chaim's words overturned her thoughts.
She had never thought about it like Chaim.
"So you want to tell me that I can rely on Julien and that I don't need to care about others' thoughts whether they will think that I'm eye candy?" She bit her lip and looked at Chaim.
Chaim nodded. "You're right. I have told you that you're a novice in business, and others are tolerant of you. They won't gossip that a novice relies on others because every novice has experienced it. Before they inherit companies, they all have backers. Thus, I say that you can rely on Mr. Flint."
She moved her red lips and was about to say something. Suddenly, Luke echoed Chaim. "Syd, Mr. Houston is right. Julien is your boyfriend, and you will get married. Of course, you can rely on him and ask for help from him. It doesn't mean that you're incapable. You're a novice. You're puny and still growing. You're not powerful enough and thus can't deal with a lot of things. Now that you can't deal with it alone, you need to ask for help from others. We come here to see Mr. Houston for help. You're willing to ask for help from Mr. Houston, but why don't you ask for help from Julien? He is the closest person to you. Also, if you ask for help from him, you don't need to pay for the price."
Luke disliked Julien and was reluctant to put in a good word for Julien.
But Luke had to admit that Julien was the person who could give Sydney the greatest help.
Thus, Luke didn't mind putting in a good word for Julien now.
Sydney glanced at Chaim and then glanced at Luke.
Chaim was an outsider. She didn't feel surprised that he said so.
But she couldn't ignore Luke's words.
'Was I wrong to insist on dealing with things by myself?'
Seeing through her thoughts, Luke patted her shoulder again. "Of course, you're not wrong, but the precondition is that you're a novice. If you are an old hand in business and insist on dealing with things by yourself, it will be nothing wrong with you. If you are an old hand but still want to rely on others at any time, you will be looked down upon. You're a novice, so you can rely on others. It's understandable in every industry. I have been in business for so many years but have forgotten it."
Talking about that, he couldn't help but pat his forehead.
Seeing it, Sydney chuckled. "Do you also think that I should rely on Julien?"
"As for the current you, you must rely on others because you're not powerful enough. You must rely on others to let yourself grow stronger in a short time. Have you thought about how long it will take if you rely on yourself to grow? Have you thought if Skylight Corporation has the time to wait for you to grow slowly? I think that it's unpractical. Skylight Corporation needs to develop as soon as possible. It means that the work will be intensive. You're a novice. When you face intensive work, you will be more confused. If you refuse to rely on others, you even don't know what you can do, and you may lose your way and make wrong decisions in the future."
When he said so, his expression was serious.
"Syd, it's not shameful for you to deal with some things by relying on Julien. Besides, you won't be inferior to him in the relationship, and you won't lose the ability to solve problems. When Julien helps you, you can observe his ways of solving problems. You learn it from him, accumulate experience and regard him as your tutor in business. After all, his position in business is unique. With his help, you will grow faster."
