Chapter 534
At the same time.
A marketing department general manager from Yamin Group came to replace Christina.
At this moment, this aforementioned general manager of Yamin Group, who had just gotten off the plane, was sitting in the conference room for a meeting with her employees and introducing herself.
She had a strong aura and spoke very quickly without stopping. “Hello, everyone. My name is Leia March. You can call me Ms. March in the company, but you can call me Leia outside. Don’t discuss my age. A woman’s age has to remain mysterious. Maintaining a sense of mystery has always been what I want.”
Everyone in the conference room was surprised by the woman who had appeared out of nowhere. They looked at each other in confusion.
Ms. Yamin did not say that she would resign before the new year, did she?
“So don’t discuss my age in private. Instead, use the time to discuss more business to grow the number of your bank balance, so you can sleep better at night, don’t you think so?”
No one in the room knew the woman’s temperament. Thus, they did not know if it was better to agree or to remain silent. There were only a few nods.
Leia did not care if they agreed or not. Her purpose was very clear. She was here to work today. “Alright, let’s cut to the chase. That’s it for my self-introduction. We’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future. There’s no hurry to let you understand my style of doing things. I’ll take over Ms. Yamin’s work from now on. Come find me if you have any important questions.
“There’s no need to be curious about where Ms. Yamin went. This isn’t something you should be thinking about. You should be concerned about the results for this month on my report. Do you understand? Get your priorities right.”
In the seat Christina once sat in, sat a woman who did not give anyone a chance to breathe. She was wearing a flesh-pink suit and had a short ponytail, looking very capable, handsome, cold, and exquisite. Her fingers tapped on the table pasta, and she gave off a very oppressive aura. “Stella, hand out the information. Don’t miss anything.”
Stella got dragged to work by Christina, and she was also very helpless. She had yet to resign at the Wilson Group and had already started working here. Seeing that this new manager was even stricter and fiercer than her sister, she was a little scared. She had a feeling that it would not be as easy as being a receptionist in the future.
The end of her world was near.
In another office, Charlie sat in a chair. Christina and Joseph stood on the same side, paying close attention to the surveillance in the conference room. Charlie.once again looked at this son-in-law in a new light.
He was very efficient.
Even Christina felt that she was not as good as this woman, who clearly was very effective and efficient in her work. With one hand on the desk, she tilted her body and raised her head to ask Joseph, who was beside her, “Is this the general manager of your company from the business department? I might be unable to do this when I visit your company. You might have lost a capable soldier.”
Joseph’s main purpose for letting Christina join the company was not to increase his business. Firstly, he did not want the two of them to live separately. Secondly, he did not want Christina to be as tired as him. There were many people in the Turner Corporation who traveled around for business, and he did not need her to be one of them. She could just give orders in the office. “It’s worth it in exchange for you.”
Unlike Christina, Leia had climbed up the ranks step by step through hardship. She was born into an impoverished family, so she always worked harder than others, and the outer shell of her disguise was harder as well.
Christina was different. She was born to win at the starting line. She was forced to take over the family business and help her father, but Charlie was behind her, so it did not matter, even if she failed.
Christina did not know if she should say that Joseph was infatuated or that he was muddle-headed. If they were in ancient times, he would be called an idiotic ruler.
“It’s a good thing to have Stella follow Ms. March. She’ll learn better. When she’s with me, she might bargain and push her luck all the time.” Christina had no idea that her sister was already complaining in her heart, missing her position as the receptionist of the Wilson Group.
Charlie nodded. “Yes, it’s time for her to learn. Every day, I’m worried that she’ll grow dumb from sleeping.”
An hour and a half later, in Christina’s office, Leia came in after a meeting and shook her hand politely. “Hello, Ms. Yamin. No wonder Mr. Turner wants to invite you back. He really has a good eye for people.”
Christina smiled. “Welcome. Thanks in advance for your hard work, Ms. March.”
Joseph put his arm around Christina’s shoulder and said to Leia, “This shouldn’t be a problem for you, right? Help me to take care of my Auntie Ava and give her some pointers.”
Leia shrugged her shoulders and smiled calmly. Her 3-inch heels made her stand as tall as Christina. “Mr. Turner, you know that I only teach people based on my principles, not relationships. Is Ms. Yamin okay with that?”
“Sure, Ms. March, you make the decision. I believe in your ability. Thanks.”
At noon, Christina briefed the new general manager about the company’s affairs again and prepared to leave. Then, she the suite she had prepared to Leia and a car.
As the boss, Charlie treated Leia to a welcome party, and they headed to Grand Manor.

Because Stella was a newbie, Christina was worried that Leia might have too difficult of a time, so she gave Leia her personal assistant to help her with her work. Thus, everything was arranged well. In the afternoon, Charlie did not let Leia go to work and asked his assistant to take Leia to familiarize herself with the suite prepared by the company.
The next afternoon.
Ava, Frank, Joseph, and Christina boarded the Roberts family’s private plane.
They headed for Sapphire City.
The Turner family’s bodyguards were also on the plane. The few of them sat together and chatted. Ava held her cheek and said regretfully, “If only Rose would go with my sister. Unfortunately, she’s less than three months pregnant, and my sister’s child is so young.”
“After she gives birth, you won’t be able to stop her even if you want to. This peace won’t last long.”
Before boarding the plane, Frank sent another message to Edward, telling him to keep an eye on his sister. He really had an endless amount of worries. How troublesome it was to have a sister who was naughty and worrisome.
Christina asked, “Rose is naughty?”
Frank said calmly, “It’s comparable to your receptionist, maybe even more.”
A few hours later.
The plane had already landed at the airport of Sapphire City. The people on the plane were still sleeping soundly.
The car in the parking lot had been waiting for a long time. An hour had passed, but no one had come out.
Joseph had woken up a long time ago, but he was not in a hurry to wake Christina, who was sleeping peacefully. He liked to watch Christina sleep, and he felt very at ease when he did. After watching for a long time, she opened her eyes. Joseph’s handsome facial features entered her sight. At that moment, she was glad that she had found a handsome man.
If she found an extremely ugly man, she would be scared to death right now. She yawned. “Why didn’t you wake me up? Are we already here?”
“Yes, it’s been a while. Sober up before getting up.”
Ava stood at the door, wondering if she should wake them. “Frank, do you think we should call them? What if…”
“Do it.”
Frank approved. Joseph should not be in such a hurry. He was already in Sapphire City and could do it tonight, so there was no need for him to do it on the plane, where he could not even go all out. Thus, from a man’s perspective, Frank felt that Joseph and Christina were only sleeping.
“Then I’ll call them. Stand behind me. If my brother gets angry, I’ll protect you.” Ava waved her little hand and protected Frank behind her.
Frank stood behind and let the little girl arrange everything. The corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful smile. His little girl actually wanted to protect him.
She had really grown up.
Just as Ava mustered her courage and was about to knock on the door, it was opened by her neatly dressed brother. “You’re awake?”
Ava nodded and tiptoed to look. He whispered, “Where’s Christina?”
“She’s putting on her clothes. You guys can go down first. We’ll follow behind. Ethan has already arranged for a car. Let him drive. Your car is still in the manor.”
The latter sentence was said to Frank. Frank nodded. “Okay.”
When Christina came out, Ava and the others had already left. Only she and Joseph were left on the plane. “Where are Ava and the others? Have they gone down?”
“Yeah, they left first. Frank knows the way.”
