Chapter 1512: Chapter 1484: The Myth of Peaceful Times

Kiara guessed right.

When answering the previous question, she had already surmised that some department had taken notice of her abilities and wanted to recruit her.

By the time the last question was posed, Kiara already had a sketch in her mind, so she wasn’t surprised by the introduction of this person.

"I’m personally very fond of a saying, ’What peaceful years we have only exist because someone is carrying the weight in places we can’t see.’ Our department is just such a place. To ordinary people, we are like characters out of legend, and we might never appear in the public eye in our lifetimes—so the kind of problem you’re worried about, not being able to speak well in front of people, doesn’t exist."

Many people don’t even realize that such a group exists, quietly making sacrifices. Put simply, it’s a think tank.

How many people are part of this is unknown, but those who can enter are certainly skilled in their own right. Having an international think tank has become a necessary trend for future development, and it’s no wonder that Kiara, as a top figure in domestic psychology, caught their attention.

This offer of an olive branch was both surprising and reasonable.

In her past life, Kiara hadn’t had this kind of opportunity, so she was never invited. These people made a simple introduction for Kiara, clearly valuing her abilities and sincerely wishing to invite her to join them.

Mario Yuno was not pleased with the way they tested Kiara’s response through action before words, but Kiara understood.

For someone of their stature to personally come and recruit her was not a sign of disrespect; assessing a person’s true state under sudden conditions through this method was obviously very direct.

Having spent a lot of time with Mario Yuno, she too harbored dreams for her country, but considering her current situation, if she were to join such a department, she might not be able to open her own workshop.

A decisive battle with JR was imminent, and Mrs. Kiara couldn’t rest easy without settling this score.

Beyond that, she had other concerns.

Her daughter was still young and needed her parents’ care. If she were to join such a department, most of her time would likely be taken up. At her level, Kiara wasn’t lacking in money, but she was missing a normal family life.

So after much thought, Kiara still declined and diplomatically explained her reasons.

To outsiders, refusing such an invitation for the sake of a small family might seem like a lack of vision, but Mrs. Kiara had no regrets.

From the moment Camden fearlessly shielded her, she had been willing to support a family for this man. Perhaps one day in the future, she would even give Wendy a little brother or sister, making the household even livelier. Missing out on opportunities was regrettable, but she had no regrets.

The others felt a sense of loss seeing her determined to leave, and just when Kiara thought she had missed her chance, the least talkative person finally played a trump card.

"Have you heard of the River God?"

Being smart people, everyone understood with just that one sentence.

The other two couldn’t believe it and looked at the boss in disbelief, who just helplessly shook his head.

"When it comes to talent, one must always be flexible—so, what do you say, sly Little Girl, are you willing now?"

Kiara, of course, knew the allusions of the River God.

The River God, listening to adjustment, not listening to the announcement.

Normally residing at the river’s mouth, if needed, he would go back to offer support. Listening to adjustment, not listening to the announcement, seemed contradictory, but upon careful reflection, it was the ultimate arrangement.

Adjustment represented a cooperative relationship, akin to being allies who respect you as the boss but not as a superior. Normally, one would carry on with their work, whether it was starting a business or anything else, and the higher-ups wouldn’t interfere unless needed, similar to being an external consultant.

Announcement, on the other hand, meant a hierarchical relationship, where you must follow directions exactly.

"Although we’ve never had such a precedent, your talents and resources are what we need right now. I hope you will consider it carefully."

"No need to think it over, I agree," she said.

Once Kiara had left, the three of them shared a smile. Despite the twists and turns, they had ultimately succeeded in their pursuit.

However, some also thought of a very serious matter—

"Listening to adjustment, not to announcement; adjustment... that includes a salary, right?"

An announcement refers to normal scheduling, where one doesn’t need extra pay for doing things within their job scope, but adjustments have always involved a salary since ancient times.

Still, she was outwitted by that sly little girl!

...

When Kiara came out, she saw Mario Yuno waiting outside, in good spirits.

"You refused?" Mario Yuno asked.

Kiara shrugged, "Not exactly."

"You... agreed?" That didn’t fit the daughter-in-law’s character.

"Not that either."

"...?" So what was going on?

"Let’s go, let’s go~ Our family is waiting for us to have the reunion meal."

Who says you can’t balance a career with family? Who says responsibility and interests have to conflict? There’s always a balance where you can freely express yourself, be your most beautiful self, love those who deserve your love, raise a few exquisite little darlings, and write a thrilling life story.

However, Mrs. Kiara’s delightful life didn’t escape Mr. Joel’s criticism during the meal.

"So... you just let yourself be taken over for a bargain?"

It pained his heart!

Now with her status, one appearance of his daughter wasn’t inferior to his own, and working as a contractor meant her appearance fees were significantly reduced, right?

"Don’t make it sound so bad, how can one only look at immediate benefits?" Kiara was quite satisfied with herself.

Mr. Joel found himself unable to criticize any further, waving his hand away, "If you want to play, then play, but you still need to eat. I heard from Fox Cat that you plan to set up a Workshop?"

"Hmm, I’m considering it..." Kiara’s initial plan was to get her doctorate degree first and then strive for success, but after being kidnapped she changed her mind.

How could she crush Matt Bailey without her own team?

"Do you have enough people?"

"Just me and my cousin for now... If I count my Apprentice, that makes three."

Considering her Apprentice hadn’t even graduated with a master’s degree yet, it was clear she was short on people.

Too pitiful, wanting to start her own business but suffering from a lack of talent.

"Shall I transfer some people over to you?" Eldest Brother wanted to help her.

"No need, give me some time and I’ll pull the team together myself. It’s just that headhunting and such take time," Mrs. Kiara said coolly.

"Headhunting?" Edward Farmbright struggled to swallow the greens in his mouth, "Let’s get things straight; borrowing personnel from me is okay, but headhunting is out of the question!"

The Farmstead didn’t have many people, but each of them could do the work of several. Yuzo Joel barely managed things now, and it was Farmbright Farmer handling farm affairs. If his junior sister didn’t help him and was additionally planning to headhunt his people, Farmbright Farmer would be driven to punch walls—in fact, he was already resentful that Kiara managed to poach Fox Cat.

He thought Fox Cat would return and get down to help, but didn’t expect Emma Clark to sway him first.

"Senior Brother, you’re overthinking it. How could I possibly headhunt your people? We’re allies!" Kiara smiled cunningly, and Mario Yuno, with a chopstick in his mouth, seemed to understand as he watched Kiara’s expression.

"Daughter-in-law... you can’t mean you want to headhunt... those people, can you?!"
