Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 96

"Ms. Murphy, this morning, Mr. Wyld from the Finance Department informed me that the Public Relations Department has been spending a lot of money lately and asked me to look into it properly. I'm just wondering what sort of expenses require such a huge amount of money," Jenna's expression was serious. On the very first day, she was approached by Mr. Wyld, the manager of the Finance Department, who wanted her to manage the Public Relations Department and avoid unnecessary expenditures.

A look of panic flashed in Minnie's eyes, but she confidently said, "Vice President Murphy, these expenses were submitted by Ms. McAdams when she was here. This amount is not that big compared to what the Richards Group was earning. Richards Group is earning millions of dollars, yet you guys are being petty about such a small amount? Of course, if you don't believe it, you can call Ms. McAdams and ask her. There are receipts for every expense, so you can go ahead and check them."

Her voice was very loud and her face was indifferent. There was even contempt and disdain in her eyes.

Jenna frowned and looked at the summary report in her hand. She sneered in her heart. Was this even considered as a summary report? Not only was her work a mess, even her several signatures were all crooked and unreadable. How did she manage to get through university? Obviously, she was not serious about her studies. She probably didn't study hard at all and just wanted to get a leg up. Her mentality was very dangerous for a woman who had no real talent.

She didn't understand why Hansen wanted to hire her. Even though she was beautiful and he needed someone to help out with dinner dates, he shouldn't have hired her as the manager. She was barely even qualified to be a PR person.

Jenna pointed to a piece of land on the outskirts of town and asked about the expenses, "The building for this land was already bid and it should be the client who relies on us. What's the justification for spending 100,000 dollars on public relations for it?"

This land was a piece of property owned by the Richards Group. Since there was already subway access, they wanted to build a small condominium and a shopping mall. Hansen had ordered the Marketing Department to organize an auction and had been prompted to select someone based on the results of the bidding. Moreover, it was a project wherein the developers should get on the company's good side. Minnie had actually withdrawn 100,000 dollar of PR fees this week. Moreover, Aria approved and signed off the expense.

When Aria was in charge of this matter, she didn't have a hand in it. However, now that Jenna had taken over the department, she couldn't leave it alone. If she was right, Minnie probably hadn't figured out what the project was about and just thought it had something to do with the land, so she thought she could get some benefits out of it. Judging from her current outfit, with her secretary's salary, it would probably not be enough to meet her monthly expenses.

Ignorant and stupid.

She picked up the phone on the table and dialed, "This is Jenna. Is this the Finance Department? Would Mr. Wyld please come to my office now?"

Minnie did not expect that Jenna would actually investigate the matter and on her first day as the Vice President as well. Minnie began to tremble and her face turned pale.

She had already squandered all the money, but she didn't expect that Jenna would check on her now. Her hands trembled for a moment and her arrogance was gone.

"Ms. Murphy, Aria was the one who signed off on this expense. It was the manager who asked for the kickback. I won't admit it even if you find out," Minnie panicked and stammered.

"Oh really? Then give me the manager's number. The company already allowed him to bid at such a low price, yet he even wants a kickback from the company in private. I'd like to see if he still wants to take on this project or not?" Jenna's eyes flickered with irritation and said coldly.

Minnie became even more flustered when she heard that. If they found out the truth, she would probably be kicked out of the Richards Group. It seemed that the b*tch was deliberately targeting her.

At this time, the other managers were still in the room. However, she could not care more and shouted angrily, "Jenna, you're doing this on purpose. You're just trying to embarrass me and bring me down. This thing happened when Ms. McAdams was around, and it has nothing to do with you. Now you want to investigate me just because we have an old score to settle. This is obviously disrespectful to me. You hate me. I'm going to tell Mr. Richards that you're not worthy of being Vice President."

At this point, she was still so reckless and bad-tempered. She was really childish.

Mr. Wyld came over quickly.

"Mr. Wyld, please tell Ms. Murphy about the bid for the land in the eastern part of the city and tell her if she still needs to give a commission to the developer for that land?" Jenna ignored Minnie's rant and smiled politely at Mr. Wyld, who was walking in and asked lightly.

Commission? Was there such a thing? Mr. Wyld was stunned. He said hurriedly, "Ms. Murphy, this piece of land has already been auctioned last year. Mr. Chan kept pestering Ms. McAdams to let him win the construction right of this land at a low price. How could she possibly give him any commission? It's already good enough that we did not ask him for a reevaluation."

Mr. Wyld's words made Minnie speechless. Her face was pale and she was exasperated as well.

Jenna now fully understood, and her heart was bitter. She recalled that as a girl, Minnie didn't study hard in school, and when she entered society, she still thought of herself as self-righteous. She simply didn't know the dangers of society at all. Ever since Minnie became the Public Relations Manager, she had spent millions of dollars within the span of a few days!

If she was right, it was Aria who deliberately allowed her to get these benefits, so that she could trap her and blackmail her in future.

Aria had been in the company for several years. How could she have been unaware of such an obvious mistake? The fact that she would even agree to her nonsense was clearly purposeful.

However, Minnie, who was in front of her, didn't understand what was going on and even thought that she was deliberately targeting her.
