Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Mr. Richards, I didn’t do anything illegal. All of my expenses were approved by Ms. McAdams when she was around. However, this b*itch took advantage of her new position in the company and retaliated against me,” tears started to roll down Minnie’s cheeks. She looked pitiful and was full of grievances.

“B*tch? Who are you scolding?” Hansen suddenly stood up and slowly approached her. He reached out and gently lifted her chin. His expression was cold as he demanded, “It seems that you are the one who cursed in Ms. Murphy’s office.”

Minnie’s jaw dropped. At first, when she saw Hansen approaching her, she was expecting him to take her side. However, when he got closer and she saw the expression on his face, her entire body began to tremble. The fingers holding her chin were cold, without any warmth, just like his voice.

“Do you know why I allow you to continue working in this company?” He stared at her face coldly and asked.

Minnie shook her head blankly, not knowing what he meant.

“It’s because I wanted to give face to Jenna, so I gave you this opportunity, but it seems like you do not know how to appreciate it. Not only that, you don’t even know how to respect your superiors. Do you really think that our company still needs people like you?” Hansen’s expression was so cold that it seemed to freeze her. “Since you’re Vice President Murphy’s cousin, I’m going to let this matter slide. However, you’re fired. From now on, you’re no longer an employee of the Richards Group.”

After that, Hansen looked around and said in a cold voice again, “Whoever dares to gossip in the company or disobey their superiors’ orders will be fired immediately. The Richards Group does not need such mediocre employees.”

After that, Hansen turned around and walked away!

Minnie was so stunned that she almost fainted on the spot.

The rest of the staff members kept quiet, but they all understood that Hansen was building up Jenna’s credibility. His message was clear: Whoever dared to disobey Jenna’s orders would end up like Minnie, or even worse. After all, Minnie was Jenna’s cousin.

After Hansen left, the room remained silent. Even Minnie was quiet and had nothing to say.

Jenna understood why Hansen did that and she was touched. In fact, it was the best thing for everyone if he sent Minnie away like that, especially for Minnie herself. After all, if one really wanted to check the account books, not only would Minnie have to pay back the company, she would also most likely end up in jail. Obviously, he was concerned about her and for the sake of the company’s reputation, so he let this matter slide and fired Minnie.

However, Minnie didn’t think so. She stood rooted to her spot and did not want to leave.

The rest of the meeting was going on much smoother. Now that Hansen had issued a warning, no one would dare to disobey her. They all listened to her instructions with respect and obeyed her instructions.

“Jenna, I beg you! Please do not kick me out of the company,” Minnie saw that everyone had left and started to be scared, knowing that she had been fired from the Richards Group, but she did not want to leave. She knew she would not be able to find a job as good as this in A city once she left the company. She went straight to Jenna and pleaded, “Jenna, you know that I dropped out of school and can no longer continue my studies. If I lose my work, I will be unemployed. Jenna, I beg you. Please, I cannot lose this job. Can you please ask Mr. Richards to allow me to continue working in this company? I promise that I will listen to all of your orders.”

It was too late to be scared now! Jenna sighed in her heart, shook her head, and solemnly said to her, “Minnie, Mr. Richards fired you today for your own good. He’s not going to hold you accountable anymore. You should be happy. It’s better for you to go home and enroll yourself back into school or find a job and start working from the very bottom. It’s not easy to work here. The Richards Group is too complicated and you are not academically qualified to continue working here.”

Jenna tried her best to persuade her. After all, she was still young and still had time. Fortunately, she took over the Marketing Department, or else she would have been blackmailed by Aria and would have to pay a high price. That woman was extremely vicious.

Minnie suddenly became very dejected. Obviously, Jenna was not willing to help. Her departure was already a foregone conclusion, but clearly, she was not willing to leave this place. Her eyes suddenly flashed with rage and she viciously scolded, “Jenna, you have guts! You fired me on your first day as the Vice President of the company. There is no family affection between us. Don’t get too cocky. Let me tell you, since you aren’t going easy on me, I also won’t let you off the hook so easily.”

She said fiercely. Then she stormed out of the office and slammed the door shut.

“Ignorant,” Jenna shook her head and sighed slightly when she saw that she was unrepentant.

Jenna was just promoted to Vice President. Everyone knew that Hansen had driven Minnie out of the Richards Group as a show of support for her. From then on, no one dared to look down on Jenna anymore. Jenna relied on her own strength and managed to familiarize herself with all the work in the Marketing and Design Departments in less than 2 weeks.

She discovered a number of shortcomings and made a series of changes that saved the two departments more than 300, 000 dollars a month, in just half a month. Hansen looked at her with new eyes and was secretly happy.

When the sun was rising in the morning, Jenna arrived at the office on time, and none of the Richards Group’s Marketing and Design departments staff were late. The moment she stepped into the office, they stood up and greeted her loudly.

“Good morning, Ms. Murphy!”

“Good morning,” Jenna nodded and smiled slightly. She loved this kind of office culture. Everyone was in good spirits and efficient. She made it a rule for every employee to sign in at the front desk of the Design and Marketing departments before going to their respective workplace to start their days.

She too was not exempted from this rule. She had to sign in just like everyone else. Then, she saw all the managers lining up with their respective reports to give her a run down for the day.

“Ms. Murphy, the amusement park in the western part of the city will open tomorrow. The marketing team has prepared all the proposals. Please take a look,” Mr. Forbes was the first to come up and said respectfully.

“Okay. Just pass it to the secretary. I’ll look through it immediately,” Jenna said briefly.

“Ms. Murphy, there’s only one month away until the shares of the Logistics Park are listed, but Galaxy Heights is having some problems with the capital,” Sylvia, the newly appointed Public Relations Manager reported.

Jenna frowned and narrowed her eyes. She walked to her computer, tapped her fingers on the keyboard and retrieved the information about the Logistics Park. She browsed through them and instructed decisively, “Go ahead with our plans. I will immediately give the financial advisor, Frederic Newton, a call.”

“Okay,” Sylvia Swinburne was the top student studying in the field of management in University A in City A, and she was handpicked by Jenna to join the team. She was smart and had a good temperament and her own opinions. She was also a tactful person. After receiving Jenna’s instructions, she left immediately.

“Ms. Murphy, Mr. Chan is about to start construction on the land in the eastern part of the city, but yesterday the Quality Inspection Department found out that he bought a lot of building materials from the Bluming Construction Material Company. Everyone knows that that company provides substandard and inferior products, which is a major issue for the reputation of the Richards Group and our Marketing Department if we proceed with this. Do you want to report it to Mr. Richards?” The supervisor of the company, Rory, walked up with a solemn look.

These kinds of issues were not within her jurisdiction at first, but at that time, Aria participated in the bidding and had connections with the Marketing Department. Now that she had taken over Aria’s role, she could not let this matter slide. She thought about it for a while and immediately ordered.

“We won’t be using those low-quality materials. The Richards Group doesn’t cooperate with such an unscrupulous developer. How about this, let’s hold another auction for the land. Work with the finance team to find out the irregularities in the bidding of this land and make it null and void. I will make it clear to Mr. Richards then.”

Her orders were very straight forward. She was very decisive.

Rory was stunned for a moment and reacted immediately. He was shocked. Obviously, Jenna was much more astute and capable than Aria. To be honest, when this piece of land was being auctioned, he was very opposed to Mr. Chan’s appointment; he gave off the impression of a dishonest man. Somehow, Mr. Chan had managed to get on Aria’s good side which was how he got the project.

After all, the project was a long-term development plan and the Richards Group’s reputation was on the line. He was much more relieved now that Jenna, who was steadfast and selfless, was in charge.

As soon as the elevator reached the 88th floor, the advertising manager who had been waiting on the side came up and said, “Ms. Murphy, about the car models, we are going to sign a contract with the Art College. Mr. Koch, the principal of Art College, is here to discuss the contract. He is waiting in the office.”

“Okay, I got it. I’ll be right there,” Jenna answered as she walked forward.

At this time, Yetta, the Director of the Planning Department, came forward to stop her and said in a hurry, “Ms. Murphy, the proposal of Creative City has been rejected. They said that it was not trendy, not good enough and it needs more work. They want you to come up with another plan and then send it to them personally…” In the end, the voice of Director Turner lowered.

It was obvious that he was trying to pick on her just because she was newly appointed!

Jenna gave a scornful smile and Chester’s sly face flashed before her eyes. She said calmly, “Then I’ll do it again. Tell him that I’ll personally send it to him in three days.”

Hmph! He wanted to pick on her thinking that she didn’t know anything because she’s just getting started? This cunning businessman saw the Richards Group’s press conference go off without a hitch and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do some automobile business, didn’t he? After all, one could make a huge profit from the automobile industry. She didn’t care about his business in the Creative City.

“Ms. Murphy, the models that you replaced have been making trouble in the company, saying that they will come to you later.”

“Really?” Jenna had already reached the door of the office and was about to open the door when she heard this. Then, she turned around to look at the secretary with a smirk. She had a vicious look on her face and said, “Go and tell them that the underground boss in A city is looking for escorts. Ask them if they are interested. It pays well there!”

“Yes,” the secretary was shocked and hurried away after receiving the order.

Hansen was sitting in front of the surveillance video in his office and was observing her every move, from the moment she stepped foot into the office and dealt with each and every situation.  A smile of appreciation appeared on his face.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
