"What about quality?" Jenna's beautiful eyes narrowed. She heard that a group of cars had been recalled due to unqualified brake production. It was a fatal flaw in car production. She could not allow this kind of thing to happen.
"In terms of quality, the majority of the cars pass the qualification criteria. Occasionally..." Before Benson could finish his words, Jenna interrupted him. "In the production of cars, I won't allow 'majority' or 'occasionally'. It can only be absolute. We need to pay attention to efficiency and quality. How about this? Go back and look into the recalled brake parts issue. Hand in a report including personnel or things involved. There will be penalties and rewards. Such a thing can't be overlooked, and you can't allow it to happen again."
Benson was a little stunned.
"Is there a problem?" Jenna gazed at him as she knitted her eyebrows and asked.
"No, no problem." Benson came back to his senses and quickly replied. Then, he stood up and left.
In fact, the brake production issue had always been a hidden problem of Richards Group. The manager who purchased the brake parts was related to Hansen. The quality had often fallen short of the requirements. However, it was hard for him to investigate deeper. Problems like this had occurred previously. However, the problems were minor. That was why it was easily overlooked. This time, it concerned the brakes. Evidently, the issue had spread. If Jenna could curb this problem, it would be great. Therefore, Benson was in a hurry to go back to organize the whole process. Then, he made a detailed report all night and presented it to Jenna the next day. The outcome would depend on Jenna's deliberation.
After the matter had been settled, it took only an hour for everyone to return to their positions. After Jenna checked on the other departments and was assured, only then did she leisurely return to her office.
She turned on the computer and began to work.
Just as she was engrossed in her work and her face flushed red, there was a movement at the door. She looked up and saw Hansen walking into her office.
"Honey, I heard that you've started a lot of work today. It's only the first day, yet you're already working so hard. You sure are my lovely wife and a great leader of Richards Group." Hansen approached her and said with a smile.
"Not now." Jenna was comparing some data. Hansen came over and disrupted her thoughts. She said, "Hansen, go and do your work first. You have to be disciplined during work hours. Neither the president nor the staff is allowed to violate the rules. I will need to set a rule. No one is allowed either to flirt or show affection during work hours. In short, we must be serious."
She moved her eyes away from the computer and looked at Hansen's frivolous expression and said, "Especially you. Please set a good example." "You have got to be kidding!" Hansen complained in his heart. Was she here to work or to target him? Originally, he was authoritative. It seemed that his work life would not be so good. It was impossible to 'tease' her in the office like what he had done previously.
"I heard that in the past two years, your performance was good. You are serious all the time. Your level of efficiency is high. The most important thing is that you don't take a second look at other women. This is rare. You did great. I hope that you can continue to work harder and keep up the good work." Jenna praised him solemnly.
"You..." Hansen's mouth dropped open.
"You must be persistent. Don't ruin the good image that you managed to build with great effort. Got it?" Jenna said.
In the two years when she was not in the company, her colleague had secretly reported Hansen's performance. Jenna felt sweeter than honey when she heard this.
Hansen looked at her with a somewhat chagrined expression.
Even though Jenna spoke in a serious manner, her eyes twinkled with a hit of mischief and her cheeks were flushed. Hansen was 'moved' by her serious expression but said with a bitter face, "Honey, please don't be so serious. We are married. It's different from the past. Now, I have you by my side."
"Married? Do you know that there are many companies that have a rule that forbids married couples to work under the same company, and that the employees can't be in a relationship. Do you think it's appropriate for you to declare us as husband and wife?" Jenna continued to tease him.
"You little minx. You'd better go home then." Suddenly, Hansen gave an evil smile and spoke frivolously. After saying that, he was about to touch her again.
"Hold that thought." Jenna quickly stood up and avoided his hand. Since he had often disturbed her in the office previously, it had become a habit. This was not good. At that time, she had nothing to do with him and dared not to offend him. However, this time it was different. She was the mistress of Richards Manor. Vivian, Trevor, and Marissa were on her side. Therefore, she needn't fear him. At the moment, she was not afraid of him and adeptly avoided his hand.
Hansen's hand missed her and for a moment, he felt uncomfortable. He was about to retort when she walked forwards and pushed him out of her office. As she did so, she said, "Mr. Richards, we can discuss matters over the phone. I am busy right now. You should first go to the production department to check the issue of the recalled brakes. I will report it to you tomorrow."
Seeing that they were about to reach the door, she suddenly pushed him with all her strength and Hansen was immediately out of the door.
"Bang!" The door was locked from the inside.
Finally, it was quiet.
Jenna clapped her hands and was delighted. She looked through the peephole. Hansen was standing by the door in a stunned manner. It looked as though he was still baffled by what had happened. She pursed her lips and smiled before returning to her table.
In the past, when she served as the vice president of the company, she had to work overtime often because of Hansen's interference. Now that Jerry was at home, she did not want to work overtime. After all, Jerry could not be without her for too long.
