Chapter 416


    "Good morning, Mr. Richards." Everyone in the hall stood up and called out respectfully in unison.


    Their voices were loud and clear.


    Hansen did not look at them. His eyes were fixed on the ground. He casually waved his hand in the


    air, indicating to them to sit down. Then, he led Alvin forward withrge strides.


    "He''s so handsome." Jenna cheered for him in her heart. She tilted her head and appreciated the


    tall and graceful temperament Hansen showed. Hismanding demeanour was not something


    that could be built within a short period. It came from years of confidence, training, and a rich


    environment.


    Hansen grew up privileged and had been trained to be a leader, which helped him achieve his


    current aplishments.


    She stood there absent- mindedly. They were married. Although they loved each other, she


    sometimes still felt like it was a dream.


    As he walked over with calm and confidence, she didn''t dare show her affection or even talk to him


    in public, as they were still working. She only ended up standing still and admiring him.


    Jenna''s grandfather was once Johan''s trusted subordinate, and he returned to A City, along with the


    Richards family. However, as a result of him meeting an untimely death, and her father being too


    straightforward and upright, their family didn''t do well in the political arena. Her eldest uncle, James


    Murphy, was also a good-for-nothing.


    Although she could be regarded as the descendant of a prestigious family, the affairs of the world


    were unpredictable. Now, she was only considered ady living in genteel poverty.


    While she was still lost in her thoughts, Hansen had already walked up to her side. He noticed


    Jenna, who was standing aside in a daze.


    "Greetings, Ms. Murphy." Alvin greeted her respectfully when he saw her.


    Only then did Jennae back to her senses and looked at Hansen in a panic.


    Their eyes met. In just a split second, Jenna withdrew her gaze and pursed her lips as she swiftly


    walked towards the elevator.


    Hansen frowned.


    D*mn woman, why did she pretend not to see him? What did that mean?


    With that thought in mind, he went to the sales department.


    Jenna frantically returned to the office. She sat in front of theputer, sorted out some


    information, joined a video conference, and then the morning had passed.


    At noon, Hansen brought her to Collier Manor as usual.


    "Hansen, I have something to tell you." After the meal, Jenna sat on the sofa and began to speak


    seriously, after contemting for some time.


    "What is it?" Hansen sat down and picked up the newspaper beside the couch.


    "Do you remember the incident where the brakes had been recalled?" She asked with some strain,


    sitting up firmly.


    An icy light shed across Hansen''s eyes. The economic loss caused by the defective brakes were


    secondary but the reputation of thepany was severely affected. Hansen wanted to further


    inquire about it for a long time, but with Jennaing to work in thepany these days, he was in


    a good mood. Hence, he had forgotten all about it. Now that he heard her question, he immediately


    recalled it again.


    "Yes, I''ve ordered Mr. Parker to investigate," he replied gently, lifting his head.


    "Have you found out the reason?" Jenna probed.


    "This..." Hansen was at a loss for words. He had forgotten to ask. "Oh, he hasn''t replied yet."


    He answered evasively.


    There was a hint of sarcasm in Jenna''s eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up.


    "What''s wrong? Is there any problem?" Hansen knew that there must be something wrong, since


    she asked. Perhaps it was more than just a few problems. After all, she was adept when ites to


    automobiles.


    "I consulted Mr. Levin today. The reason for it was that one of the parts had been bought from an


    external vendor and the quality was poor." Jenna gave a detailed ount of what she knew.


    "Oh." Hansen nodded thoughtfully.


    "Was the person in charge of the purchasing department arranged by you?" Jenna asked with a


    heavy heart.


    "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the person from the purchasing department, or


    that he might have tampered with it?" Hansen asked in return.


    "I''m not merely suspecting him. I''m certain it''s him." Jenna refuted without mercy. "After the


    conversation with Mr. Levin, I learned that Green Mountain Automobile City used to purchase


    quality parts from a trustworthy manufacturer. Now, it has been reced with an unknown brand.


    Not only is it not well-received, but its quality is also far worse. I wonder if you have agreed to the


    changing of brands?"


    Hansen put the newspapers down and raised his head, pondering.


    He remembered that in one of the meetings, the purchasing department had once suggested that it


    would be much cheaper to change the brand of the parts. At that time, he did not think it would have


    led to this consequence and only agreed to it.


    He was lost in thought.


    "I did agree, but I didn''t foresee this oue, nor did I think of recing the parts. This matter


    needs a thorough investigation." After a long time had passed, he spoke with a hint of anger in his


    voice.


    "How do you feel? Do you think you''ve been fooled?" Jenna looked at him and asked teasingly. The


    smugness in her cold voice was evident.


    "Are you making fun of me?" Hansen sounded vaguely annoyed. He did feel like he had been


    fooled.


    "Of course I''m going to ridicule you. You''re the one who practices nepotism." Jenna chided


    unrelentingly.


    "What do you mean?" Hansen straightened his body, with anger emerging on his face.


    "Let me ask you, is Kirston, the purchasing manager, Marissa''s rtive?" The smile on Jenna''s face


    faded as she said, "You have to know that he is in charge of purchases all this while. As far as I


    know, he has received quite an amount of rebate from the brand''s distributor. I think that you know


    this."


    The light in Hansen''s eyes grew more chilling.


    He had to admit that he did not trust others when it came to purchasing. That was why the Richards


    Group had always relied on their rtives, while Kirston was Marissa''s cousin. Kirston had worked


    in Richards Group for almost all of his life. This lucrative job naturally fell into hisp.


    It seemed like he had to change his outlook on nepotism. He used to feel that it was also


    inappropriate but let it slide, as he could not find a proper reason to reduce the practice. However,


    now that he had a reason, he could punish Kirston openly.


    "I''ll leave this to you. You can do whatever you want." After thinking for a while, he said solemnly as


    if he had made up his mind.


    "Really? Are you sure?" Jenna repeatedly asked. She knew that Kirston was rted to Marissa. If


    she punished him, he would definitelyin to Marissa and their rtionship might be affected.


    She first thought about this problem, whether Marissa would have any opinions against her was


    secondary.


    "Yes, I''m sure. It''s only right to receive punishment for making mistakes. There''s nothing wrong with


    that." Hansen shrugged indifferently. "Just do it. I''ll support you and Mother won''t me you.


    Believe me."


    He looked at her with his bright eyes and encouraged her with a smile. Jenna felt more confident.


    "Well, let''s take a rest first." She stood up and walked towards the bedroom.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Jenna, wait a minute." Hansen stopped her and asked in a grave manner, "Are you preparing to set


    up an online marketing studio?"


    "Yes." Jenna turned back and smiled. "You won''t criticize me for not informing you, right? You have


    said that I can make my own decisions."


    For fear that he might feel that she was acting rashly on her own, she took the initiative to bring this


    out and block his criticism beforehand.


    "Of course not." Hansen shook his head, but his expression did not rx. "This is a good idea, but


    the globalwork isplicated, and it is vulnerable to hackers."


    Hansen''s worry was reasonable. Richards Group''s performance was currently still underwhelming


    when it came toworking, and could not manage to keep up with thetest advancement. They


    were indeed facing the needs for a transformation, but it was not something that could happen


    overnight. In order to solve this problem, he went to colleges and recruited outstanding students,


    sending some of them to study abroad. They would return to work for Richards Group soon. He did


    not expect Jenna to act so quickly.


    "Of course, there will be risks. There are risks in everything you do, but you can''t just give up


    because of that." Jenna didn''t know that he had been training and honing the skills of


    computersavvy talents. So, she voiced out her own ideas.


    "We need to act, but it''s best not to be hasty." Hansen nodded.


    "But, Hansen, Sky Sword Group has done a sessful job regarding this aspect in the market. If


    we continue to dy and postpone everything, I am afraid that it will be toote then," Jenna


    exined, turning around to sit beside him.


    Hansen reached out to hold her in his arms and muttered, " Since you''ve started, then let''s


    continue. It''s just that we will need to hire skilled IT personnel. The talents I''ve sent for training will


    return in two months. There won''t be a dy. How''s that?"


    He rubbed her earlobe and made a suggestion. In fact, he did not agree with her brisk actions.


    However, in order not to dispel her eagerness, he decided topromise. Since this enormous


    system would not be used in such a short time, he should let her have a try. If it didn''t work, she


    would stop. If it worked, the transformation could start ahead of time.


    "Alright, thank you for believing in me." Jenna smiled happily. She understood Hansen''s n.


    ording to his tone, he had thought about the ws in this aspect and was also trying to improve


    it.


    Since that was the case, it could be understood that they shared the same n.


    The next day, Mr. Parker escorted Kirston to Jenna. She immediately held a meeting with the heads


    of the departments in charge of automobile production. With plenty of evidence, Kirston had no


    choice but to confess his misdeeds.


    ording to Richards Group''s rules, Jenna dismissed Kirston''s position as the purchasing manager


    and demoted him to a lower position in thepany.


    A new purchasing manager was appointed and it achieved a good effect. Gradually, most


    departments stopped showing favoritism to members of the Richards family. The productivity of the


    internal management of the Richards Group was improved. Hansen was also delighted and


    approved of these changes in thepany''s operations.
