Chapter 323
"Child,e here." Vivian absorbed his despondent expression, her face wearing a mask of pain
and heartache. This was the only grandson whom she could be proud of, even though there were
times when he messed up. He was no saint, but to err is human! Although he had his own share of
indiscretions, it still showed how much he valued his feelings and loyalty. He was worthy of being
trusted by a woman for the rest of his life.
The key was that this woman must have a good eye to recognize his merits.
She believed that Jenna could be the one, and she also believed that her grandson was a good
man who valued feelings and righteousness.
Obediently, Hansen walked over and crouched down in front of her.
"Hansen, my good child, Your current state is giving me pain in the heart. Believe me, though Jenna
has already left this ce, she would not be able to leave this earth. Now that the consumer media
is so advanced, even if you can''t see her, she will definitely see you from wherever she is. You have
to bring out the manliness in you and step up your game in your career. Let her see your
excellence. Use your abilities to convince her. Then, she would be willing to ept you ande
back to you. From now on, don''t sink into such a miserable state. Instead, you have to cheer up and
make Richards Group prosperous. Lead it to a better future, understand?" She stroked his thin face
and said pitifully, her words awash with encouragement and anticipation.
Hansen looked out of the window, his gaze distant. Outside the window, the orange blossom tree
had bloomed, painting an extremely dazzling and beautiful view. It was only now that he realized
that winter was about to end, and spring was here to rece it.
A brilliant spring full of flowers was about to arrive.
This seemed to infuse him with a glimmer of hope. Never a slow- witted person, he understood his
grandmother''s meaning.
He slowly stood up, bowed to Vivian and Trevor, and then walked out.
Back to the second floor of Green Jade Garden, in their bedroom, he held onto the pillow and fell
asleep until the next morning. Finally, he could sleep peacefully.
The next day, he returned to the Richards Group office to work.
After the New Year, Earl''s fall had caused Sadiva to quickly take the throne and was appointed the
new mayor of A City.
Through the preliminary promotion by Hansen, the number of tourists visiting Green Mountain Lake
not only had not decreased, but instead had increased day by day. There was an important reason
for this. It was that the love story of the young talent in A city, Hansen, had happened here, and it
captured a lot of people''s interest.
At first, Hansen developed a few special tourism projects near Green Mountain Lake, and then re-
developed the area around Green Mountain Lake. As a result, Green Mountain Lake retained its
original charm and was also equipped with some stylish additions, making a name everywhere.
Then, in the way of the Richards Group, he proposed an application to preserve the natural
environment. After that, he set off the whole of Green Mountain Lake''s Camphor Tree Vi for a
project and catapulted it into the market.
In this way, the development of Green Mountain Lake brought hugemercial gains to the
company. Soon, the Green Mountain Lake government once again applied to the municipal
government to designate A City as its international tourism area. Sadiva, who had already heard
about the story of the Green Mountain Lake, immediately set up the Cooperation Committee of the
Border Town and the proposal was passed with a majority vote.
In this way, the Green Mountain Lake transformed from a garbage dumping site to a tourism area
under the protection of the local government. Soon, another subway going through it would be built.
Overnight, the property value of the Green Mountain Lake rose sharply.
As for the Camphor Tree Vi near Green Mountain Lake, it attracted the attention of many
investors because of its unique charm.
Hansen invested a handsome amount of money to create this one-of-a-kind Camphor Tree Vi.
Their unique geographical locations and breathtaking cultural scenery made the Camphor Tree Vi
a gathering ce for VIPs, including banking families, local and abroad. In addition, the house
prices Hansen had proposed were reasonable.
The Sunlight Building was an investment portfolio where the citizens were waiting overnight in lines
looking for their chance to secure a property for themselves. It was a spectacr sight.
Hansen wasn''t satisfied with only expanding the property sector.
In the Green Mountain Motor City, thergest car factory in A City, after Jenna had hired Jersey to
serve as the general adviser, he also brought with him his rich experience in automobiles and
management skills.
Soon, the Green Mountain Automobile City''s international presence was established.
Hansen had invested almost all of his energy into his work. He barely talked orughed ever since
the day of Jenna''s departure. His aloofness was growing.
He promoted Alvin to be the vice president of thepany and became his right- hand man. He
also restructured all the different sectors in thepany and made great efforts to hire young
talents. For a time, the Richards Group fared well and its business flourished.
Both the properties and thepany quickly expanded from the original tens of thousands of staff
to close to hundreds of thousands at that moment.
Not only did it speed up the development of the country by opening up more factories and
branches, it even managed to expand into various countries. It crossed many milestones, and went
international and global, all within a single year.
Not only had he made into the top three on the global wealth list, but he had also overtaken the
Whalen Group. His sess had also been gradually exalted to a myth, a myth that no one could
dispel.
However, the thing that remained mysterious through all of this was his private life.
For such a handsome, noble and rich businessman, many women would imagine themselves dating
him and be his dream lover. However, at this time, not only did he keep women at bay, there
weren''t any rumors of romantic affairs revolving around him. This left many women who wanted to
get close to him feel resentful. More people whispered that he might be secretly sick in his mind, or
that his sexual orientation had changed.
There had always been only one man following him, and that was the expressionless Alvin. Almost
no woman had ever appeared by his side.
Hansen was just as dashing, handsome, and charming as he had been in the past. He didn''t care
about thements and remained calm in the face of criticism and nder.
His words and actions were steady and cold. Now, he would never blow up as easily. However, if he
did, something big would almost always happen. This side of Hansen gave his subordinates the
chills. Therefore, they were all dedicated to their work, since everything was dictated by their
achievements.
"Mr. Richards, Green Mountain Automobile City is steadily developing, and the supply couldn''t keep
up with the demand. What weck now is a new model that could truly shock the world. This is a
real headache. Even the group of high-caliber students we recently recruited were still not enough.
Some of the designs look good, but they performed average in the market." The manager of the
Green Mountain Automobile City, Marquis, was standing respectfully in front of Hansen''s desk,
voicing very cautious suggestions.
Ever since the truth behind Javon''s case had been revealed, Hansen found out that the engine of
the Pranica had been sabotaged by the people sent by Calvin, who had been bribed by Aria. He
immediately became furious and drove Calvin away. He personally appointed the young and
promising aristocratic student, Marquis Grint, as the manager of Green Mountain Automobile City.
Surely enough, Marquis was indeed talented. In just a few months after he had taken the position,
he managed the Green Mountain Automobile City very well.
Hansen''s handsome brows furrowed, his face expressionless.
Holding his right hand so tightly under his serious expression, he slowly loosened it, and a delicate
shell appeared in his palm.
The shell had a car model painted on its surface with ck paint. As Hansen stared at the shell in
the center of his palm, a glint shed in the depths of his eyes. A bright arc flitted across the corners
of his mouth.
That day, he had held the shell with his blood still flowing. In order to keep this shell, he''d fought
with Rayan and finally obtained a thing that belonged to her, the only thing that belonged to her.
She had never given him any of her things. Just thinking about it was enough to send knives
piercing at his heart. He could only imagine just how much she had rejected him in her heart.
If it weren''t for Javon''s death, she wouldn''t have returned to Richards Group, nor would she have
returned to Richards Manor. This was evident from her final departure.
The colourful shell in his palm was warm, and the smooth lines on the shells were getting clearer
and clearer. It seemed that there was warm liquid almost flooding his eyes, staring at the shells as
his vision became gradually cloudier.
He carried this shell with him all the time, until the corners of the shells were worn down by his
hands. He looked at the shells, his eyes shing with painful light.
Marquis had been standing nervously in front of the office, waiting for Hansen''s reply. However,
after waiting for a long time, his response was none too forting. Marquis raised his head,
bewildered.
The scene in front of him stunned him.
The formidable man in front of him, the unwavering President Richard, staring at a shell in his hand,
lost in thought. Were those tears in his eyes?
This shell was obviously a woman''s item at first nce. Was Mr. Richards thinking of his lover?
Ever since he entered thepany, he had heard people mention his private life one after another,
and he also knew the names of Jenna and Aria.
Now there was a rumor that Mr. Richards wouldn''te close to a woman and had lost interest in
one. Some people even defamed him. They gossiped about him behind his back, but no one could
tell what the truth was.
Marquis stood there in a daze as well. Staring at Hansen''s face, he made a guess. He only came
back to his senses when Hansen''s soft coughs resounded. When his eyes met Hansen''s severely
dissatisfied gaze, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He chastised himself in his
heart. Since when had he be such a gossiper?
"You can leave first. I already know about this matter," he said in a concise and short tone, waving
at him.
This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Marquis quickly took his leave as if he had received a decree. He was truly worried that if he stayed
for one more minute, he might anger that almighty man and end up in serious trouble.
One must know that to peek into the superior''s privacy, the consequences would not be a light one.
Currently, the Richards Group was an ideal corporation for most young talents to apply for. He
couldn''t afford to lose such a coveted position.
After Marquis left, Hansen immediately turned on theputer and drew the picture of the shell in
his hand in its original shape. Then, he carefully reasoned that the model
was something new, which suited a woman''s tastes, but it wasn''t all that elegant. After all, it was her
unfinished work. If he improved upon it, it would be a hit in the women''s goods market.
While there were lots of men''s cars in the market, there were very few cars which designs would
tailor to women.
