Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 97

"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.
