My Fiance Ran Away On Our Wedding Day

Chapter 79 

Anika had just finished reading the project report that Peter had handed over.

"You've done well during this time period.After that, I'll delegate responsibility for North City to you.If nothing unexpected happens, I'll give you a promotion when the North City Project goes live”

The North City Project is on track, and construction will be the next major project, but it will take two years to complete.

She entrusted this project to Peter so that she could focus on other projects.

Mrs.Stevens saw the North City Project as merely a safety net for the coming years.

Because other businesses have shrunk dramatically over the years, it is preferable to develop new businesses directly.

Peter clearly was surprised.

After that, he blurted, "Thanks, Ms.Anika.I'll work hard’

"Alright, go call Sara Bradley in" Anika said with a smile.

Peter nodded and walked away.

Sara Bradley knocked on the office door a few minutes later.

"Ms.Anika"

"Please come in” Sara pushed the door open and walked in.

She handed Anika a list and then said, "Everything you asked me to do the last time, Ms.Anika, have been completed.Eighty percent of the branch's former employees agreed to the terms of transfer, and

the rest received compensation."

Anika sent Sara on a business trip before she left for her honeymoon to communicate with the X Province factories to switch production lines and settle the employees.

These factories are chemical plants.

After passing the training, some factory employees who were willing to undergo job transfer training can change jobs directly in the new production line workshop.

If they are of retirement age, the company will also provide a generous severance payment.

"Are they all voluntary?"

Anika asked as she scanned the list.

"Don't worry about it,"

Sara said with a smile.

Anika nodded.

It relieved her that Sara was in charge of the situation.

Putting down the list, she remembered another thing: "Get a flight for tomorrow.Go there yourself and help Jael settle down at a hotel."

"Alright, I understand."

Before leaving the office, Sara answered and reported on everything else.

Anika eventually went to Scott's house.

She pushed the door open and went inside after knocking and receiving an answer.

Scott raised his head from the document he was reading to see who it was.

"Why are you here now?" he asked, a smile on his face.

"Scott, I'm here to ask for your help today” Anika said as she walked to her desk and sat down.

"What can I help you with?" Scott asked.

"Following that, I will be primarily responsible for NY Company's research and development.The stockholders." Anika continued.

NY Company was a newly established company originally owned by Meyer Family.

Still, because Anika was the sole investor and did not accept Meyer Family funds, she and Meyer Family divested.

Anika wanted to say something, but Scott already knew what she meant.

Although the shareholders didn't have many shares, they relied on their previous experiences and sacrifices for the company to do whatever they wanted.

They only wanted to lie down and earn money all day, so there were many complaints.

Scott nodded, "I will communicate with you.Don't worry"

"Thank you, Scott.’ Anika smiled.

Scott was not only well-connected, but Anika admired how he dealt with unreasonable people.

She was confident that the other party would handle it flawlessly and would not allow the shareholders to object.

Scott glanced at her and shook his head with a smile, "The honeymoon has softened you.By the way, I really appreciate the gifts you gave me.Perhaps a trip to the island would be useful for me.” Anika pursed her lips and smiled in embarrassment as he teased her.

"Then I'll introduce you to Bailey the local tourist guide." she replied.

She had recently been very busy with the new company and had worked a lot.

Anika did not ask Zac to pick her up from work.

To be honest, she thought this was a good thing.

She had almost forgotten how to drive the car after being picked up every day.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Anika finished her work and drove home.

Zac sat in his lounge clothes in the living room and looked like he was waiting for her.

When he saw her take off her shoes and enter the living room, he raised his eyebrows gently and angrily, "Anika, can you come and give me a hug?"

Zac hugged her as if she were a drug that he was addicted to these days.

Every night, he would hug her and watch TV in the living room before retiring to his room.

Anika approached him and sat down.

"I want to start a new company, she said casually, leaned her head against his shoulder.

"Nika, what do you intend to do?"

Zac lowered his eyelids, wrapped his slender fingers around her lovely hair, and whispered.

"At first, it was used as a raw material in medicine and beauty." Anika said.

Hearing this, Zac chuckled and looked at her with pitch-black eyes, "Are you trying to steal Kayden's employees?"

Although it was a question, with his understanding of her, he was afraid that he had already dug her up.

Anika paused for a moment before muttering, "I haven't yet told you.Kayden bought the T&D stock from me- Just as she was about to finish speaking, Anika realized she had said that T&D's dividend was their husband and wife's common property, but she had sold it directly.She didn't even bother to explain herself.”

Anika looked up at Zac's beautiful face and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will raise you when I earn money.’

Even though she was already in a relationship with Zac, he was so attractive that she felt the need to financially secure herself to keep him.

"Is that why you came looking for him last time?" Zac said as he looked down at her.

"Yes." Anika nodded.

Although the price was slightly lower, she wouldn't have enough money to invest in the new company's early stage research and development if she hadn't sold her shares to Kayden.However, she saw too much money to invest in the future, and she realized that it could be considered negative equity on her company's accounting book.

Anika felt compelled to earn money after considering the disparity in assets between her and Zac.

When you look at beauty, she could buy him an island if he was that attractive.

"Anika, you're very smart.You should use Kayden's money to poach his men” Zac said, raising his eyebrows.

‘‘So, I'm not worried that she'll be duped” Zac thought Anika felt that his words seemed like she was too ambitious.

She explained, "The main research and development direction of T&D is not on this.I also gave them the opportunity to put their skills to use."

"Do you need my help?" Zac asked.

"I want to establish my R&D base in JH City, but first I need to buy a factory site and rebuild an industrial workshop that meets the standards and scales.We may not have enough money at hand, and we may have to negotiate with the government”

The R&D base was unsuitable for a city like LQ, where every inch of land was occupied.JH, a second- tier city, was a better fit.

The government's investment-attraction policy was also not bad.

After all, the tax that businesses paid to the local government was a long-term one.

However, this did not imply that they could find a suitable location for a factory.

After all, excluding the funds required for prior research and development, Anika had little money left, which depended on the government's attitude.

With negotiations, Zac was an expert at dealing with government officials.

He could teach her a thing or two.

Zac had a rough idea of how much money she had.

After a few seconds of thought, he smiled and said, "Nearly.Simply use caution and be smart when speaking."

‘Be smart?’ she wondered.

Anika thought for a moment and frowned at him.

"You actually want me to be a fat cat?"

To put it another way, she was being asked to pretend to be a wealthy woman.

"This is just a negotiation strategy.’ said Zac

‘‘The man was calm and collected’’ Anika thought.

"Negotiation strategy is pretending?" She asked.

"How else do you think I took the South Prefecture project back then?" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Zac asked, raising his eyebrows to look at her.

It was with South Prefecture that Anika felt like he finally had a powerful position.

Zac was able to secure cooperation with South Prefecture, which surprised many people.

Anika's eyes widened slightly as she realized something after a while of pondering "They are all under the impression that the project funds are in your possession! You have the audacity to bet extremely!"
