Chapter 95


    "Remember, work hard. Don''t disappoint me," Hansen stared at Jenna''s rigid face. He came over


    and wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled evilly, saying, "Of course, not only do you have


    to do a good job in thepany, but you have to be even better when you get home. Sleep with me


    and make me happy."


    He deliberately emphasized the word "sleep", which frightened Jenna that she returned to her


    senses. She was blushing and embarrassed!


    Hansen burst intoughter.


    "You mean that I''m in charge of the Marketing Department? What about Aria then?" Jenna asked in


    a daze. If she remembered correctly, Aria was the one who was in charge of the Marketing


    Department. Now that she was in charge of that, what was Aria''s role? She was really puzzled and


    full of doubts. Was he going to marry Aria and not let her go to work? Did he want Aria to live


    happily while she ved away? When she thought of this, she suddenly became dejected.


    "You just have to do your job. Don''t ask anything else," when Hansen heard her mention about Aria,


    he looked a little unhappy and said lightly. After saying that, he went straight to his desk and sat


    down. He turned on theputer and worked, without looking at her again.


    If he didn''t want to talk about it, so be it. She didn''t expect much anyway. Jenna thought for a while,


    then turned around and walked out.


    Soon, the news of Jenna''s appointment as the Vice President of thepany spread through the


    company. Everyone was talking about it, but Jenna''s excellent performance at thest press


    conference was evident to everyone, and there wasn''t much disagreement about her appointment.


    Jenna started to take over the Marketing Department of thepany. Not only did the Richards


    Group sell luxury cars, they were also involved in the real estate industry, which were the hottest


    and most popr industries of the day. They had business dealings in almost every industry, which


    was evidently shown in the marketing record she received.


    She was going through the stack of information that was given to her. All the client information from


    both the Public Rtions Department and


    Marketing Department that the Richards Group dealt with were given to her. The information was


    very important to ensure a smooth management of thepany.


    Why did Hansen choose her? Was it really just out of trust?


    Jenna still hadn''t figured it out and it just didn''t feel real.


    However, she had spent three years working in America as a car designer in Rayan''spany and


    as the distributor for the Asia market after all. It was no doubt that she had umted a lot of


    working experience. Although she looked delicate and beautiful, she had a wealth of experience.


    Wasn''t Hansen looking down on her? She was going to prove him wrong.


    She didn''t need to spend much time in the Design Department. She was in charge of that


    department all along, so she didn''t have to worry too much about it.


    However, after a morning of sorting and analysis, it became clear that the Marketing Department


    had a number of problems, both in terms of management and in terms of marketing and sales.


    It was not that the Marketing Department was difficult to handle. In terms of luxury cars, she did not


    have to worry. Although she was not familiar with the A city market, she was very familiar with the


    European and American markets. Now that she had those orders from the press conference, there


    was no need to worry too much about small domestic orders.


    What was difficult was the real estate industry.


    There was a big problem, which was the Camphor Tree Vi. The construction of this high end vi


    was currently on hold, with only the first phase being developed. Furthermore, this vi was one of


    the Richards Group''s long term investments, which if developed properly, would build an even


    stronger foundation for the Richards Group in A city. If this project failed, even if the Richards Group


    was rich, it would badly affect them financially.


    She wondered whether Hansen had a solution. It was obvious that this problem must be solved!


    She frowned! However, what she saw next made her mind sink! The cars of the Richards Group


    dominated the domestic sales, but their overseas sales werergely in the red. No wonder Hansen


    had put all his effort into bringing her back to design luxury cars, regardless of the cost. It turned out


    that this was the reason. She breathed a sigh of relief.


    Even if the domestic real estate industry was making profit all year round, if the Camphor Tree Vi


    was not properly developed, it would still result in a deficit.


    These two industries were the core industries for the Richards Group. It had been handed down


    from generations to generations. However, when Trevor took over thepany, they were basically


    breaking even and did not continue to flourish as the previous generations once had.


    Now all those projects that were churning in the revenue for thepany were the new industries


    that Hansen had decided to venture into when he took over thepany. Under his leadership, the


    company had been involved in many new industries such as restaurants, games, software and so


    on. All of which had good results, which could be seen in the marketing strategy handed over by


    Minnie.


    One could imagine how much hard work and effort Hansen had put in when he first took over the


    Richards Group! He had not only brought Richards Group out of the doldrums, but in just three


    years he had slowly helped thepany be one of the wealthiestpanies, thanks to his


    wise and fastidious approach.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Perhaps it was also because he realized that they cannot forget about thepany''s roots. Three


    years ago, he had the foresight to buy a piece ofnd in the Green Mountain Town and intended to


    construct high-end vis that were rare in the whole city and even in the world. It would have been


    such an ambitious goal, and if it had been developed sessfully, it would not only have revitalized


    the old Richards Group properties, it would have brought the Richards Group into a period of glory.


    However, the Camphor Tree Vi was a bombshell with an unpromising and uncertain future.


    Jenna suddenly understood why Grandma Richards agreed to let Aria live in the Richards Manor.


    Obviously, Grandma Richards, who didn''t like Aria, was wise enough not to offend Mayor McAdams


    for now.


    It was a stop-gap measure!


    However for her, it was a double-edged sword. For a moment, her heart sank!


    At noon, Jenna ate while she watched the TV in her office.


    A City''s entertainment news headlines were overwhelmingly about Aria and she could see striking


    reports at random!


    The hottest uing movie of the moment, Rapunzel, directed by Director Cook, was officially in


    pre- production stage. The casting of the female lead, for which Director Cook was personally


    responsible, was now open to the public, starting with a prime-time slot on television.


    The show was actually a warm-up to build up hype for the movie and for promotional purposes.


    The major TV media all said that this movie was funded by the Richards Group and that the lead


    actress had been elected. The actress would be Aria, the woman whom the president of the


    Richards Group, Hansen, was going to marry. The so-called casting was just for show and hype.


    The news alone was enough to bring the rtionship between Hansen and Aria back to the


    forefront.


    Jenna remembered that when she saw Hansen this morning, he was reading the newspaper. At


    that time, he so happened to be reading the entertainment section. So, was that really the case?


    She flipped through all the Marketing Department documents and saw Aria''s signature but the


    recent signatures had been changed to Hansen''s. Did this mean that Aria was actually leaving the


    Richards Group?


    When they left the Richards Manor this morning, she didn''t see Aria following them out. So, what


    was Hansen nning to do?


    Although she had many doubts running through her head, when she asked Hansen this morning, it


    seemed that he did not want to disclose anything. If he wanted to tell her, he would have done so.


    However, since he did not want to say anything, then there was no point in asking.


    However, Jenna was in a good mood. She did not really care what Aria did, at least she didn''t have


    to run into her every day in the office and that alone was enough to put her mind at ease!


    Jenna took over her role in the morning and swiftly called for a meeting right away in the afternoon.


    This was the first meeting Jenna had held ever since she was appointed and it involved everyone


    from both the Marketing and Design Departments.


    As soon as she was appointed, she immediately appointed two new managers in the Design


    Department. She promoted Perrie, who was just an assistant manager, and appointed Cornell, a


    veteran of the Richards Group, as the new managers. There was a manager for each of the


    Marketing, Public Rtions and Sales nning Department. She reced all the assistants


    assigned to each manager and further assigned them with different roles. She believed that


    everyone should have more to do, so that there was a clearer division ofbour and more


    responsibilities for each person.


    Unconsciously, she switched the executives in both departments and repositioned all the people


    who had been under Aria.


    This move might seem unimportant to others, but it was crucial for Jenna. It would be much more


    convenient for her to do her job in the future. Except for Minnie, all the staff in the departments


    should be able to do what she said.


    As soon as she went back to her office, she summoned all the managers and asked them to give


    her a brief run down about their jobs in hand.


    Jenna sat in front of her desk. She flipped through thetest batch of design drawings handed over


    by the Design Department with ease. Because the models were mainly domestic cars, there were


    not too many problems. She nodded her head in agreement with almost all of them, except for a


    few that were dismissed as superfluous. "Mr. Forbes, have these orders been handed over to the


    production team?"


    "Don''t worry, Ms. Murphy. It''s all in production and we''ll be able to see the results soon," Nathan


    answered confidently.


    "Okay," Jenna nodded and took the report from Minnie.


    Jenna looked up and asked, "Ms. Murphy, what is the Public Rtions Department''s main project


    for this week?"


    Minnie seemed to be still reeling from the news of Jenna''s appointment as Vice President of the


    company. She was so full of resentment that she didn''t expect that this b*tch would be promoted to


    the Vice President position so quickly and she had to report to her. She was very displeased.


    Initially, her only way up was to depend on Aria, but things changed so quickly. Aria left the


    company and went off to do some sh*tty TV show.


    What did all this mean? She was so resentful that she despised Jenna from the bottom of her heart!


    "Well, at this stage, it''s mostly about the Camphor Tree Vi and a couple of PR campaigns for


    games," she answeredzily, not caring about it.


    Jenna frowned. The problem with the Camphor Tree Vi situation was beyond the reach of the


    Public Rtions Department. As far as she knew, Aria was nning to use her father''s, Mayor


    McAdams, influence to solve the problem. However, apparently she had already left the position


    and this no longer had anything to do with her. She couldn''t figure out what exactly Hansen had in


    his mind.
