Chapter 174
On the 88th floor of International Kinsey Center.
"How on earth did you do your work? You can''t even do a godd*mn report?! Redo it." Hansen
cursed at thepany director Rory Temple with a dark expression on his face. Then, he threw the
job reports to the ground.
"I''m sorry, Mr. Richards. I''ll tell them to redo it right away," Rory hurriedly lowered his head to pick
up the report, said cautiously, and left in embarrassment.

As soon as he walked out, he ran into the Chief Financial Officer, Rudolph Brown, who was walking
in with a financial evaluation report.
After a while, Hansen''s angry shouts came from the office, "Why should I hire you useless people?
You can''t even control the financial risks. You see, the ounts over the past few months have
been messy. Hurry, reorganize and study them. If not, you'' re fired."
Rudolph was also an executive of thepany and a rtive of Marissa. Hansen was usually kind
to him, but that day, Hansen was being picky. Nothing was good, and his words were vicious,
leaving nopassion.
Rudolph couldn''t hold it anymore. He was almost fifty years old. When he was working hard with
Trevor, Hansen was still a little boy! He couldn''t help it and protest.
"Mr. Richards, these deficits were due to the sponsorship of Rapunzel. The unclear ounts were
due to the crew. Mr. Richards, you know this and now the movie has stopped. We invested 800
million. What should we do with it? No matter what, the money has to be invested in the market so
that we can recover some at the box office."
Rudolph had no good feeling about thepany supporting the film. Now, things were messed up.
Aria only said that she was not feeling well, and refused to show up again. With this, the eight
hundred million dors were basically wasted. Rudolph had been dissatisfied for a long time. From
his perspective, Hansen was so stupid over that decision. His head was probably squeezed by the
door, and that was the only reasonable exnation as to why he wanted to invest in that kind of
thing.
Now that thepany experienced a severe deficit, Hansen actually vented this anger at Rudolph.
He couldn’t take this ridiculous me!
"Do you mean that I made a mistake in investment, and I don''t deserve to be the president?"
Hansen asked with a cold face. Aria''s matter was a pain in his *ss, but Rudolph inflicted it. Hansen
was immediately irritated. His entire face was dark like a ck cloud. His eyes stared at Rudolph as
if he was about to eat him. "Don''t think that I don’t know the usual working style of your finance
department. When you audited thepany''s financesst year, there were a lot of unclear
ounts. Thispany is a big business. Just your finance department alone has made a mess of
the entirepany''s ounts. Sooner orter, thispany will be destroyed in your hands."
These words became sharper and harsher, and Rudolph was even more confused by Hansen''s
inexplicable fire. He was full of difort that Hansen even turned over the old ounts fromst
year. Rudolph stared and asked.
"Mr. Richards, I have had a clear conscience working for thepany for so many years, and I
have never done anything that would harm thepany. However, what you are saying today is
unreasonable. Even Mr. Trevor Richards did not say that to me at that time. You have an even more
bilious temperament than the chairman, and it seems like you hold a grudge against us old guys.
You are deliberately trying to drive me away."
Hansen was full of anger. Usually, he was always lofty and no one dared to refute him. However,
now he was so angry that he immediately patted the table and shouted, "Very well. You have the
guts to talk to me like this. I happened to have an ount during the audit at the end ofst year. I
just wanted to settle it with you. If it wasn''t for my parents'' sake, I would have investigated you a
long time ago."
After that, he really called the statistics department and asked them to check the ounts
immediately.
Hansen had many confidantes, and many people had been eyeing that position. Usually, a finance
director had a lot of benefits, so naturally, people would have caught some evidence.
After he was checked, within two days, Rudolph was expelled for unclear ounts and embezzling
public funds. Until the moment he rolled up and left, he did not understand how he had offended
Hansen. These years, he had never seen such a big tantrum. Did Hansen take some kind of drug?
After Rudolph was asked to check the ounts, the managers who followed him were all treated by
Hansen in the same way. He scolded them badly for various reasons. They all stared at him with
large eyes, then they walked away dejectedly.
They just couldn''t figure it out. The quality of the report was as usual. Hansen had never been angry
before, but these days, everything was wrong.
There was a smarter person. When he saw Hansen picking his fault, he thought for a while and said
cautiously, "Mr. Richards, this report was done by Ms. Murphy."
Just saying this, Hansen''s face immediately softened, and soon he signed it, and the manager went
out without any trouble.
At this time, he understood. It turned out that Mr. Richards''s anger was rted to Ms. Murphy.
Thinking about Ms. Murphy suddenly being transferred overseas, it seemed that their rtionship
might be in trouble.
Judging by the way he was angry, it was possible that boss was dumped by Ms. Murphy?
At this time, the other managers saw that he was the only one who could sessfully pass the
report evaluation, so they ran over to ask for tricks. He told a few important people. Sure enough,
when Hansen tried to find faults in their reports, they only had to mention Jenna, and Hansen would
sign the report.
In just a few days, the entire Richards Group was filled with danger. Rudolph''s expulsion from the
Richards Group made all the employees plunge into a tense atmosphere. The management team
was especially frightened, as if they were walking on thin ice.
Evenpany veterans like Rudolph and Hansen''s rtives could be driven away, so forget the
outsiders. They all worked cautiously, not daring to be careless.
However, some people had said that Rudolph who relied on Marissa usually disrespected Jenna.
Mr. Richards might have been trying to drive him away and avenge Jenna.
All in all, the people inside thepany were panicked and tense.
A global financial crisis hade unknowingly.
Jenna sat in the hospital ward and stared at theputer screen for three days in a row, feeling
uneasy.
For three consecutive days, the Richards Group''s stock had three consecutive down- limits. The
market caused a major panic, and more rumors about the Richards Group slowly appeared in the
news.
However, this did not seem to happen to just Richards Group alone.
All newspapers and media outlets were reporting this financial crisis.
Affected by the international financial situation, Europe was the first to bear the brunt of the financial
crisis.
Overnight, it was as if buildings were about to fall. Manypanies had to change their business
model.
The disaster came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.
Jenna''s mind sped up. She had stayed overseas and naturally was more sensitive.
After hesitating for a moment, she transferred 60% of the funds of the Richards Group that Hansen
brought to her to an Asian financial institution for project hedging, and sessfully won the railway
construction in an Asian country.
For several days, she stared at theputer and followed various news.
On the second and third days, manypanies were losing money overnight, and news of
corporate bossesmitting suicide continued to spread.
Jenna was frightened, but after careful analysis of the domestic situation, she knew the domestic
policies. The country would definitely save the market if such a disaster happened. That is to say
that the disaster would onlyst a few days or even a short period of time. Maybe a couple of hours.
The transfer of these funds and shares of Richards Group sessfully avoided this risk.
Then, she made a decision to buy thepanies that were about to go bankrupt at a low price
before the country rescued the market.
Although some domestic projects of the Richards Group would inevitably lose some of their market
value, after her decision, at least her 60% of shares not only had no losses, but in turn, they could
compensate the shortfall in domestic assets, which was beneficial to acquisition. When the country
rescued the market in the future, they would definitely make a steady profit.
The situation was urgent and it was toote to think, so she called Hansen.
She made three calls in a row. Each time, she either got aputer recording, or no one answered
the call.
Jenna was shocked, and then remembered that she hadn''t received a call from him for a few days.
Her eyelids twitched wildly. Did he meet an ident?
This thought made her fidget.
Without further ado.
At the moment, she paid a lot of money and hired two special nurses to take care of Trevor.
She immediately booked an air ticket for the day and hurriedly flew back to A City immediately.
Inside the Richards Group Conference Center.
The panic of the financial crisis called ck Wednesday was everywhere. Hansen was leading all
the executives, sitting in front of theputer screen and staring at the greenish stock market with
a gloomy face.
In response to this sudden financial crisis, they were desperate.
Recently, his personal affairs had consumed a lot of his energy, and he was in a particrly bad
mood. He couldn''t concentrate on facing this sudden disaster at all. He even behaved a little
flustered and was at a loss.
All the senior executives of Richards Group gathered together to stare at theputer day and
night, but they could not find a way. They could only watch the market value of the Richards Group
shrink or even evaporate day after day.
The only thing that gave themfort was that the disaster did not affect just their family. Almost all
enterprises were affected, but the Richards Group was financially strong enough to withstand it
longer.
After all, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse, and the Richards Group was calmer and
larger than otherpanies. Once it passed this test, it would be easier to recover than other
companies, and it would be easier to stand up in a difficult situation to seize the market
opportunities.
In spite of those who jumped off the building andmitted suicide over the past few days, even
though everyone in the Richards Group had a dark face, there was no extreme case.
