Maisie calmed down and said, "Steven, I don't think it's a wise decision."

Maisie gave him the advice from her heart. Steven knew nobody and nothing here in Riverside City. It would take some time to adapt to life here, not to mention establish a new company.

Steven burst into laughter on the phone, "Thanks for your concern. But I think it is an opportunity for me since China is developing very fast now."

"I don't want to live under my parents' wings all the time, and I would like to prove myself."

Maisie stopped talking. She thought Steven's words made some sense. To a man at his age, he would like to challenge himself and make a breakthrough.

"And, I am so proficient in Chinese that I can communicate with local Chinese without a problem. So, no worry," added Steven, confidently.

"Good luck, then," said Maisie.

"Thanks." Steven thanked her and added, "But please do help me if I have some problems in understanding the policies or some other matters later."

"Sure," said Maisie, without hesitation.

She remembered Steven had helped them a lot when she and David were out of the country at that time. Of course, she would help him in return now.

Maisie hung up on Steven and arrived at Julian and Emelia's place.

They were ready for dinner and told the cook to add a few more dishes when they knew she was coming over.

"How's work today?" Emelia asked with concern as soon as Maisie sat down.

"It's great. Indeed, it's easier to be the secretary of Mr. Hughes. I'm really not born for leadership." Maisie smiled and made a joke of herself.

Emelia laughed, "Gosh, you find it easy to be his secretary? Seriously? You know what, the young man was crying."
