"That's not the case. According to what I observed, Mr. Whalen always had a good impression of you. Think about the last incident; it was you who helped me out so that I did not suffer any losses and left the company with dignity. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten anything. I still need to thank you for this."
"Mr. Levin, that's nothing. It was just a small favor. Don't mention it," Jenna smiled and said modestly. "May I know what you are doing now?"
Jenna asked tentatively, looking at his face. Jersey was someone who knew and loved cars. He had been in the automobile industry for a lifetime and was indeed experienced. If he could work for Richards Group, it would undoubtedly be good news for the Richards Group. Even if they did not need him in person, his experience and insights were already more than enough.
Many years later, Rayan lamented that the company had missed two talents at the time, one was Jenna and the other was Jersey. Of course, this was only mentioned later.
"I'm getting older now, and I have no plans of working anymore. I only have one lifetime anyway, so I plan to leave everything to my children," he replied with indifference with a relaxed face, but Jenna still observed the regretful expression on his face for not fully using his talents. She smiled and asked calmly, "Mr. Levin, I need a favor from you actually. I wonder if you, Mr. Levin, will be willing to help me out?"
"Favor?" Jersey's eyes unconsciously glanced at the gifts she brought over. Those really cost a fortune, and he had already made a wild guess in his heart. He had experienced many vicissitudes, and might really want to take a break. However, he did have a soft spot for Jenna, and if he could really help her out somehow, he would be willing to.
"I can consider it, but I am just a nobody now, so I'm not sure what you need me for. As long as I can help, I will try my best. It is my honor to be able to help you, and you must have seen something special in me. However, I am afraid that my ability is limited," he said faintly while very modestly humbling himself.
"No, Mr. Levin, don’t be humble. As long as you are willing to help me, you will definitely be of great help. It's a favor regarding the automobile industry. Mr. Levin, you have been in this industry for a long time and your experience is very valuable to us. You are also a capable man with ambitious talent. I hope that you, Mr. Levin, can use your talent to do great things, and also achieve some breakthrough in this industry," Jenna explained clearly.
Seeing his eyelids twitch, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Levin, I am here to invite you to be the production consultant of Richards Group's Automobile City. We now have a large number of orders for luxury cars to be produced in a rush, but some of our technology is not up to par yet. We hope to get your guidance on this. I wonder if you are willing to help us out?" Jenna was full of sincerity and her tone was genuine.
"Mr. Levin, Ms. Murphy is really very sincere in inviting you. She told me to get in touch with you as soon as we got off the plane, and she still has a fever now," Reeva added from the sidelines.
"Girl, are you sick now?" Jersey asked with concern when he heard that Jenna was ill, but he looked embarrassed too. "Girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I am now in Los Angeles. It's a bit unrealistic for me to go to A City. Moreover, my family is here."
"I know this, so I'm inviting you to be the consultant. I only need you to be in A city for two months in a year, and you can stay at the Richards Group Automobile City in Los Angeles for the rest of the time. Moreover, your salary will definitely be higher than that of what you used to get in Whalen Group. If you have any other requests, you can voice them out too. You also know that Richards Group not only produces luxury cars, but also has a wide range of interests. Mr. Hansen is very smart and capable. He also cherishes your talent. As long as you agree to our offer, he will meet your requirements," Jenna said solemnly. "I don’t need you to make a decision now. Mr. Levin, you should discuss this with your family first. After all, this is related to them too. After making a decision, feel free to give me a call. I will wait for your reply. I believe that you will definitely want to pass down the experience as well as the unique insights you have acquired in your lifetime in order to develop the automobile industry."
Jersey's eyes were full of hesitation. He did not respond to her immediately.
Soon, they changed the topic. They discussed car trends in the world as well as some insights of the automobile industry. After talking and laughing for a while, Jersey got up and wanted to leave.
Jenna winked at Reeva and she immediately understood. She then quickly passed Jersey the gifts over the table. Although he tried to refuse initially, he accepted them eventually.
Jenna felt relieved and relaxed all over. She also stood up. When she was about to speak, she suddenly felt like the whole restaurant was spinning in the darkness. She could not stand firmly and eventually, she passed out.
"Hurry up, someone has fainted." There was chaos in the restaurant. Some people were shouting loudly whereas someone yelled for the ambulance.
Both Reeva and Jersey were stunned.
In the ward, Reeva was very anxious. Jenna's cheeks were flushed. She was having a high fever, and she was unconscious. Although she was on intravenous fluid, she had not woken up even after several hours.
Reeva rubbed her hands and walked around the room, as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.
What should she do? They were in Los Angeles where everything looked unfamiliar to her. If something bad happened, she would not be able to bear the consequences. After walking a few laps and thinking about it, she finally picked up her mobile phone and dialed a series of phone numbers. No one answered the call in the beginning. After Reeva dialed several times, she heard Hansen’s sleepy voice. He seemed to be sleeping and there was a little dissatisfaction in his voice, but Reeva could no longer care about his feelings. After Hansen picked up the phone, she said eagerly, "Mr. Richards, there is an urgent matter regarding Ms. Murphy that I must report to you."
Ms. Murphy? Jenna? What urgent matter could she have?
Jenna's face immediately appeared in front of Hansen's eyes. He became more aware and glanced at the wall clock. It was already late at night. What would happen to her at this late hour? An ominous premonition suddenly rose, and the sleepiness subsided.
"What's the matter? What's wrong with her?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Richards, Ms. Murphy fainted at a meeting today. She has been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles. She seems to be very ill and she is still in a coma and has not awakened," Reeva said anxiously and was almost in tears.
"What? She fainted?" Hansen sat up in shock, calmed himself, and asked in a deep voice. "What is going on? Speak slowly."
"Mr. Richards, Ms. Murphy is now in the Los Angeles Hospital. She passed out this afternoon," Reeva said anxiously, and explained what had happened in detail.
