Chapter 686: Chapter 687 Ilana_1

"Honey, there’s something I need your help with!"

Jiang Meng looked at Xiao Chen and said, "You know how incredibly busy I’ve been lately. Mom has a friend coming back from abroad tomorrow.

She’s Mom’s best friend from America.

She helped Mom a lot when she was abroad. Here’s her photo, can you go to the airport and pick her up for me?"

Xiao Chen looked at the photo and laughed, "Wow, a real beauty, and she doesn’t look that old, does she?"

"Mm, she’s just thirty-six, much younger than Mom."

Jiang Meng said.

"Alright, I’ll go pick her up. Since she’s Mom’s friend, she’s our friend too,"

Xiao Chen replied, nodding.

"By the way, what is Sister coming to Blue Sea for? Shouldn’t she head straight to Tianhai City?"

Xiao Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"She’s not coming for a visit but to work in Blue Sea,"

Jiang Meng said, "Mom’s friend is quite something; a genius from Silicon Valley. She used to work at Apple Group.

This time she’s coming to Blue Sea because a headhunter found her a job. She’s looking for new challenges.

She even said the company she’s going to is more impressive than Apple Group.

I’m not sure if it’s March Group or Langpu Group she mentioned."

"It doesn’t matter. Business is business, and there’s no need to fuss too much. No matter where she works, she’s still Mom’s friend, right?"

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"That’s true!"

Jiang Meng nodded in agreement.

The next day at noon, Xiao Chen drove the "New Century" car belonging to Xinmeng Group to the airport.

"Oh, dear Xiao, I’ve heard about you. Liu Xin spoke very highly of you over the phone,"

The thirty-six-year-old Sister appeared quite extroverted and charismatic.

A genuine blonde.

Pure British ancestry.

Golden long hair, eyes blue like jewels.

Despite being thirty-six, she still had the demeanor of a teenage girl.

She emanated an approachable charm in every aspect.

Right away, she gave Xiao Chen a hearty French greeting.

It left Xiao Chen blushing.

To speak of beautiful women, Xiao Chen had seen his share, but this Sister named Ilana had an incredible figure.

The air around her was filled with a captivating perfume scent.

Even someone like Xiao Chen, who usually didn’t like such smells, found it agreeable.

"Sister Ilana, should I arrange a hotel for you, or shall we go straight to our house?"

Xiao Chen asked.

Ilana laughed and said, "Let’s go to Chengxu Instrument Group."

"To there?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly remembered the recent recruitment for executives by Chengxu Instrument Group through a headhunting firm.

Could it be that such coincidences actually exist in this world?

"You’re not going there for a job interview, are you?"

"That’s right, how did you know?"

Xiao Chen gave a wry smile; it seemed one doesn’t enter a family without becoming one of them.

He didn’t expect Liu Xin’s friend Ilana was coming to get a job at his instrument group.

But Xiao Chen didn’t quite understand.

After getting into the car, he asked, "I heard that Sister Ilana held a high position at America’s Apple Group. What suddenly made you think of coming to Dragon Country?

You’re not a Descendant of the Dragon Country either."

Ilana laughed and said, "There’s a little hero here that I dream about, and I only know that he’s the Boss of Xiao Corporation.

Do you know why I’m still unmarried at this age?

I’m not a singleton by choice, I’m just looking for my little hero!"

Xiao Chen nearly drove the car into a ditch.

He suddenly remembered.

Ilana had once been stranded abroad.

At that time, the country was engulfed in war.

America had no intention to evacuate.

It was he who sent Ilana to Dragon Country on his private jet, after which she transferred to America.

Speaking of that event, Ilana probably didn’t see what he looked like, but he was fortunate enough to have seen Ilana.

It was just because of that one meeting, he initially didn’t recognize her.

"Cough cough, Sister Ilana, you see, your little hero must be married by now, even if you like him, there’s probably no hope, right?"

Xiao Chen coughed twice and said.

"It doesn’t matter, I like him, so what if he’s not married."

Ilana said.

Xiao Chen was at a loss for words, truly having nothing more to say.

After all, when someone put it like that, what could he do? He just hoped his identity wouldn’t be discovered.

It really was awkward.

"Forget about me, let’s talk about you. I know you’re not as incompetent as others say.

I actually think your identity is not simple.

But the more I feel this way, the more I hope you can stay away from Jiang Meng."

Ilana suddenly became serious.

Xiao Chen then realized that this executive of Apple Group had such a serious side.

"Why should I leave?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Although I don’t know what your purpose is, a person like you is too dangerous. Jiang Meng is a simple girl.

I don’t want her to end up in unbearable pain.

If you really have to leave, then leave now.

Don’t give her a beautiful dream, only to shatter that dream by your own hands.

That would be too cruel for her!"

Ilana said.

"It’s impossible for me to leave, Sister Ilana, I swear to you, I could never leave Jiang Meng in this lifetime.

Apart from my family, Jiang Meng is my everything.

I will love her all my life."

Xiao Chen said earnestly.

"If oaths were useful, there wouldn’t be so many tragically beautiful stories in this world!"

Ilana obviously was no child; she wasn’t swayed by Xiao Chen’s promises.

"You don’t believe me, and there’s nothing I can do about it, but I will definitely not leave Jiang Meng, you’re a friend of my mother-in-law.

I respect you.

But that doesn’t mean I have to listen to you.

Alright, get out of the car, we’ve arrived at Chengxu Instrument Group."

Xiao Chen said indifferently.

He disliked others meddling in his private matters, especially an outsider.

Especially since this woman actually wanted him to leave Jiang Meng.

"You may not be happy, but I will still do my best to separate you from Jiang Meng.

You are a very dangerous person.

I don’t want Jiang Meng to be in danger either."

Ilana got out of the car and stood there, looking at Xiao Chen as she spoke.

"As you wish!"

Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I wish you success in your job application!"

Ilana walked away.

Xiao Chen parked the car in the parking lot.

He had said Chengxu Instrument Group was hiring executives and he had to personally vet the candidates.

Since Ilana had come, he certainly had to personally review her.

The headhunting company had found four people in total.

Out of these four, two would be selected to become the vice presidents of Chengxu Instrument Group.

One to be responsible for research and development and production, the other for promotion and sales, with very clear divisions of work.

The general manager Bai Xue would coordinate in the middle.

The rough structure of the group was thereby established.

In the interview room, Gu Jiali and Bai Xue were both present.

One was responsible for technical questions, the other for management and marketing questions.

Of course, both were wearing headsets, ready to receive instructions from Xiao Chen at any time.

Xiao Chen was not at the scene; he sat in his office, staring at the screen, clearly able to see everything happening in the interview room.

Soon, the first three interviewees had already been interviewed.
