Getting My Ex-wife Back

“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 the company, 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 into laughter.

“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 slaved 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 the computer 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 the company spread through the company. Everyone was talking about it, but Jenna’s excellent performance at the last press conference was evident to everyone, and there wasn’t much disagreement about her appointment.

Jenna started to take over the Marketing Department of the company. Not only did the Richards Group sell luxury cars, they were also involved in the real estate industry, which were the hottest and most popular 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 Relations 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 the company.

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.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

However, she had spent three years working in America as a car designer in Rayan’s company and as the distributor for the Asia market after all. It was no doubt that she had accumulated 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 Villa. The construction of this high-end villa was currently on hold, with only the first phase being developed. Furthermore, this villa 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 were largely 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 Villa 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 generation to generation. However, when Trevor took over the company, 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 the company were the new industries that Hansen had decided to venture into when he took over the company. 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 the company become one of the wealthiest companies, thanks to his wise and fastidious approach.

Perhaps it was also because he realized that they cannot forget about the company’s roots. Three years ago, he had the foresight to buy a piece of land in the Green Mountain Town and intended to construct high-end villas 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 successfully, 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 Villa 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 upcoming movie of the moment, Rapunzel, directed by Director Cook, was officially in the 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 relationship 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 planning 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 manager. There was a manager for each of the Marketing, Public Relations, and Sales Planning Department. She replaced all the assistants assigned to each manager and further assigned them different roles. She believed that everyone should have more to do, so that there was a clearer division of labor 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 the latest 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 Relations 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 Villa and a couple of PR campaigns for games,” she answered lazily, not caring about it.

Jenna frowned. The problem with the Camphor Tree Villa situation was beyond the reach of the Public Relations Department. As far as she knew, Aria was planning 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.
