The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1010: Returning to Their Respective Battlefields

Airport,

On the day Adrian Desmond left, Sienna Johnson personally went to see him off. Although Abyanabad has no winter, Sienna still brought Adrian warm clothes.

They would be useful when he returns. Otherwise, with the weather getting colder day by day, he would freeze.

"I suddenly don’t want to leave anymore."

"You have to go regardless!

You need to get rid of Night Owl and Doctor X and then come back. My daughter has suffered so much because of them. They can’t get away with it."

Someone of Night Owl’s level, Sienna couldn’t handle, so only Adrian could deal with them.

Adrian secretly vowed to himself: He must kill them! This time he would grind them into dust, leaving them no chance of survival.

The broadcast announced boarding, and Sienna urged Adrian to hurry up.

Adrian, reluctant to part, said, "Just a little longer."

"Stop dawdling; you’ll have to go sooner or later anyway."

"Thinking of being apart from you makes me very sad."

"Aren’t you just going for a few days? It’s not like you’ll never come back."

"I have a shadow in my heart, I’m always afraid that once I leave, you’ll disappear without a trace."

Sienna replied with amusement, "We have a saying in Orienta: the monk may run, but the temple won’t run. Sileria City is my home, all my relatives and friends are here, where could I run to?"

"I’ll return as soon as possible."

"Mm."

Knowing he must leave sooner or later, Sienna was more resolute than Adrian. Seeing him walk towards the boarding gate, she turned and left.

Adrian glanced back, seeing Sienna’s determined figure as she left.

"Heartless woman!"

Only then did Adrian finally make up his mind to leave, while Sienna hid behind a pillar, watching his figure disappear.

She walked to the window, watching the planes parked on the airport tarmac, thinking that Adrian would soon be on one of them, a wave of sadness welled up in her heart.

Sally said, "Madam, Sixth Master’s plane has already taken off, let’s go."

"Mm."

Sienna withdrew her gaze and left the airport.

...

Eastminster Group,

"President Johnson, now that the virus antibodies are out, the virus is no longer harmful. But they still haven’t lifted the closure on Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory. We can completely file an administrative lawsuit against them.

After all, they have no direct evidence to prove that the virus was created by Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory," Preston Keller said.

Preston Keller was a special assistant Sienna recently hired, along with another special assistant named James Winslow.

"You may have lived abroad for many years, perhaps you don’t understand the societal rules of Orienta. We Orientals are different from foreigners. If we can resolve problems at the dining table, we will never take them to the courtroom.

Unless we plan to sever all ties completely and never interact again."

"I think that administrative litigation is a very good method."

Sienna was quite satisfied with Preston Keller and intended to cultivate him into an effective secretary, so she explained patiently, "Commoners do not fight with officials. Even if their closure of Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory was entirely unjust, I can’t sue them and make the matter absolute.

Officials place great emphasis on political achievements and reputation. If I sue them, offend them, and affect their promotions, they definitely have ways to crush me.

Regular inspections at Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory would become my constant burden."

Preston Keller frowned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Have Tessa Harrington arrange a meeting with Director Linden and Director Harris, I’ll talk to them over a meal."

Sienna entrusted this matter to Tessa, instead of Preston Keller, fearing he might mess it up.

...

Recently, with the situation still tense, Sienna couldn’t openly invite them to a big hotel. She took them to a private kitchen restaurant, where, of course, the dishes weren’t cheap, and the wine was Maotai.

Wearing a black shirt, black pants, and black-framed glasses, Sienna tried hard to reduce any elements of "femininity" in her appearance.

Since entering the business world, Sienna had realized it. There are strong women in the business world, but most are still men, and this applies to other circles as well.

No matter how much the feminists deny it, this is a male-dominated society. For a woman to mix in a male crowd and gain benefits, she either needs a strong background, transform into a "man," or become an enchantress that wins people over one by one.

Sienna didn’t intend to win them over by seduction, so she could only make herself appear more "manly." Once you show even a hint of being an enchantress, it becomes hard to manage later.

When others expect you to eat, drink, and sleep with them as a prerequisite, it’s expected if you comply; if not, it’s taken as a sign you look down on them. Why would you do it for others and not for them?
