"Oh, and what kind of performance do you mean? The one in bed, or the psychological one?" Hansen laughed out loud as he joked.
"Hey!" Jenna was embarrassed and shouted. Her face turned red, and she gnashed her teeth. "You know I didn't mean that."
Hansen was pleased, letting out another laugh. After a while, he stopped smiling and teasing her. "Silly, you should have thought about what your husband's company is up to. Melvin is talented. It makes sense that Richards Group wants to welcome him aboard, but he is also coveted by a lot of companies. He may not necessarily come. Knowing the enemy will ensure a successful battle. Therefore, I have investigated Melvin's background before I came to the headquarters. I have already gathered this important information. Otherwise, how can I compete with him?"
It occurred to Jenna that Steffan had also done a background check on Hansen. However, it was not as detailed and broad as Hansen's. This guy must be a veteran in the business circle.
"So, Melvin is able to come work at Yintern Group because of you." She raised her little face to look at him and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Hansen smiled and hugged her tightly.
"My wife is smart. It's no wonder you're my woman."
Jenna was shocked when she heard that. Steffan wanted to hire Melvin. If Hansen were to get involved in it, Steffan might not even be able to do it even with Mr. Tangger's help. She felt a sense of foreboding for Steffan.
Soon enough, Hansen spoke.
"Jenna, if I really wanted to hire Melvin, then how could Yintern Group possibly have any hope?" At that point, Jenna did not speak. Hansen continued as he sensed her speechlessness. "You are still more worried about Steffan, so to speak. Is he more important than your husband?"
These words did not sit well with Jenna. She defended herself, saying, "I am working for Yintern Group right now, and it should be a given that I'm thinking about the company's future. I can't possibly follow my personal interests."
Hansen was enraged by her words, with his face showing a hint of anger. "You're so loyal to your company that you're treating me so heartlessly? Let me tell you, if it weren't for you, then would I have given up on Melvin?"
Every time Steffan was brought up, Hansen would jump into this mode. Jenna observed that he was really angry, so she tangled their palms together and whispered, "Hubby, this is what I owe him."
These words were like a ray of sunlight descending from the heavens.
In the blink of an eye, all the rage on Hansen's face faded away. A layer of dazzling light once again appeared on his face.
In other words, she was just returning his favor and paying him back for saving her life!
If that was the case, then he had no objection.
For the past few days, they had actually gotten along well together, and his determination to destroy Yintern Group had quickly dissipated. When he heard her saying it in person, he was infected with joie de vivre.
"Jenna, if you only want to repay his kindness, then I will help you. I will help you expand Yintern's Group. It's completely capable, for Richards Group," he said softly, holding her small hand.
"Really?" Jenna's eyes lit up. "With this, you won't be angry at Steffan, will you?"
"Yes." He buried his face in her hair and said softly, "He saved my wife. I do owe him a favor. This is what I should do. I have transferred an extra 500 million to you. It depends on you how to use it."
A sudden warmth rose in Jenna's heart. She put her hands on his neck and said, "Thank you, my dear husband." "I accept your gratitude. You just need to perform well tonight. I don't want anything else other than you." Hansen hugged her tightly, thinking about the lonely and cold nights in the past. Only when his loneliness was then completely filled with this hard- earned happiness could his life be considered to be completed. There was nothing else to complain about.
Steffan sat on the bar stool, with two large empty bottles of wine. His eyes were as deep as the depths of the ocean, and his face was terrifyingly cold.
In just a few days, Jenna had completely returned to Hansen's embrace. They were husband and wife, and there was no chance for him at all.
To deal with his loss and pain, he had to drink.
It was only then that he finally understood why Mr. Tangger was always drinking. Drinking did ease his sorrows.
He was also a decent man with his pride and self-esteem intact. Especially when it came to relationships, what he required was that she was willing to be with him. Even if it was only threadbare. Forcing her would not work in his place.
Therefore, in the course of his interaction with
Jenna, he had become a modest gentleman. Other than encouraging her with words, he had never forced her to do anything out of her comfort zone.
She was a noble and pure woman. She should be the kind of person who would slowly warm up under someone's gradual influence.
