Based on the article, carefully read the provided text, and answer the following questions. "Sulaiman, can you come and see me right away please?" said Liza Abdullah, the managing director. "Sure, right away," replied Sulaiman Bakar, the manufacturing manager. Sulaiman knew for sure that the managing director wanted to see him regarding his letter of resignation. Sulaiman had joined the company nearly five years ago, as the engineering manager and after one year was made the manufacturing manager. He had graduated with a first-class honour's degree in mechanical engineering from Universiti Malaya twenty years ago and had worked in three different companies before joining this company. "Your resignation letter has caught me by surprised, Sulaiman," said Liza. "I thought you were happy here and we work very well as a team. What's the problem?" Sulaiman replied, "There is no problem, and I am happy here, but when I was head-hunted to join this company as their new deputy managing director, I really had to think a lot before making my decision. Their managing director is retiring in one year's time, and they have recruited me with a view to take over as managing director when he retires. I feel that it is a golden opportunity for me. Here, I am 43 years old, and you are 46. So, it looks like my career here has come to a standstill and I need to wait a long time for you to retire to get a promotion." "But that's not correct," said Liza. "Confidentially, the head office has asked me to move next year as managing director for the Vietnam operations and I had proposed your name as my replacement. So, there are plenty of opportunities in our company because the whole group is expanding. In fact, again, confidentially, we are building three more factories in Malaysia in the next three years and that means we need three managing directors just in Malaysia alone. Now, can we ask you to withdraw your resignation letter?" "I am sorry, Liza," replied Sulaiman. "I was not re of all these plans and when I asked the human resource manager what career development programmes are being implemented in the company, all he said was it all depends on your luck. Now, I have already signed the acceptance letter in the other company, and I cannot go back on my word. Thank you for all the good times we had together, Liza."
