"Hey, Vice President Murphy." The conversation in the conference room stopped abruptly, and all eyes were on her. The shrewd Tobey immediately greeted her politely.
Rudolph relied on his identity in the Richards family, as well as his position in the company. He just nodded at Jenna, then left the room.
"Mr. Richards, please have a seat." Jenna nodded at Tobey as if she hadn't heard their conversation at all.
Tobey sat down at the guest seat opposite her, took out an envelope, and carefully said, "Ms. Murphy, I am here to ask you about some technical issues. The batch of products designed by you has already started its production, but there's now a little issue regarding the raw materials. At present, the material you requested cannot be found in A City. Besides, there's this other production issue that's also troublesome. I'm here today to see if you can make some changes so that we can save a lot of money."
Jenna looked down at the information in her hand and her delicate eyebrows gradually settled into a frown. Her face became more serious. She said loudly, "No, the process of production that I designed must use the raw materials required. If there's any technical issue or problems related to the material, please purchase the raw materials abroad or hire more professional engineers."
What a joke. This batch of products was the first global automotive product by Richards Group and it was too important for the company. She would rather make less money to maintain the quality of the products. How could they save money because of some minor difficulties or cost issues? The gains would not make up for the losses.
She immediately refused him.
Seeing Jenna's face, Tobey knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't dare to say more. However, he cautiously laughed and said, "Vice President Murphy, please report to Mr. Richards the technical and production issue. Now that we have started the production, we will lose more money if it's delayed any further."
"Then why didn't you raise this question in advance but instead only come to ask for help now? Does it make sense?" Jenna raised her eyebrows and spoke with dissatisfaction.
"This...Vice President Murphy," Tobey's expression was a little nervous, and he said, embarrassed. "Vice President Murphy, this is the first time that our company is producing such a luxurious car. We're really inexperienced. Please accept my apology, Vice President Murphy."
For a moment, Jenna almost saw no hope. A large organisation like Richards Group was still unable to train its own professional automotive talents, and there was also no clear standard operating procedure. Obviously, the car orders must now be transferred to other companies abroad that also belonged to the Richards Group. The matter was imminent and she had no time to consider too much. She then made the decision and said, "I'll deal with this matter. You, immediately select some technicians from the factory and have them be at the airport tomorrow night. They will follow me to the branch abroad to learn their technology."
"Okay, okay," seeing that Tobey had his troubling issue solved, he couldn't help but feel very good, so he hurriedly agreed with a smile and stood up.
"Mr. Richards, I have another question." Jenna stood up suddenly, looking at him sharply. His beautiful eyebrows furrowed, "About the Panika luxury car parked in Green Mountain Automobile City. Where is it now? I need it quite urgently."
Panika luxury car? When Tobey heard this, cold sweat began to drip and his face changed.
"Vice President Murphy, I am really not sure about this luxury car. Mr. Richards has already sent someone to ask, but now this car has disappeared, and it is not in Green Mountain Automobile City anymore. I'm sorry that I'm unable to help," Tobey, seeing the increasingly sullen expression on Jenna's face, hurriedly explained. He feared that Jenna would not believe it. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
A smart person like him knew he couldn't offend Jenna.
"Mr. Richards, I hope you can think about how the car disappeared and how it was transformed. All in all, this car is very valuable. If it just disappears like that, you will have to be responsible," Jenna narrowed her eyes and said coldly.
Cold sweat oozed from Tobey's forehead. Such a limited edition car, even if it had been a few years, still cost at least 10 million in terms based on the current market value. This amount was simply a disaster to him.
Jenna ignored him and left the conference room with a long face.
She didn't believe that this luxury car would be moved to a wild island for no reason. Hansen didn't want to check it so she was now using her power to figure it out.
"Ms. Murphy, Ms. Murphy." Tobey caught up to her. His face was full of bitterness, and he repeatedly begged for mercy, "Ms. Murphy, I'm really not at fault in this. You can ask Mr. Richards about this. Although it was parked at Green Mountain Automobile City, if there is any high- level person who wants to use this car, I can't stop him or her either. I'm not from a wealthy family and I might even go bankrupt if I need to pay for this car!"
"Really?" Jenna sneered. "Let me ask you. Are you the manager of Green Mountain Automobile City? Are you in charge of everything there? To me, no matter who used the car, I have the power to hold the person in charge accountable. As for you, you can also use your power to check on your employees. The company’ s fixed assets can't disappear for no reason. Furthermore, it is a luxury
car reserved by Richards Group as a memorial piece. This matter is not a simple issue. I will definitely pursue this matter and clear things up. I will find out whose responsibility it is and who needs to be held accountable. Therefore, I'll give you ten days. You go and find out what's happening and submit your findings as a report to me."
When Jenna said this, she turned her head to look at him. With frost in his eyes, she said coldly, "Mr. Tobey, this matter will surely come to light in my hands, and I need to know all the reasons for this. If this car is really not found, you must be held accountable, and I assure you that there will be no sloppiness allowed in this issue."
After finishing her sentence, she gave him an enchanting smile, then cast an awe-inspiring look at Calvin, showing him her unquestionable determination.
Tobey was stunned for a while and he left in fear.
"You think I can be easily fooled? I will never give up easily," Jenna sneered while looking at his retreating figure.
One day passed.
Jenna was too busy that day and it was only with such a busy schedule that she was able to forget all her troubles.
When night fell, she drove her car into Richards Manor.
She was planning to go abroad for a few days, so she was back to pack her luggage. She was unsure about whether to talk to Hansen about it or not.
She hadn't seen him in several days.
She thought that since she was given this position, she could make any decision that was within her jurisdiction.
At present, the foundation of Richards Group could only be stabilized if the problem of the luxury cars was solved first. She had a clear conscience in doing this, and she was doing this for Trevor. That night in Richards Manor, it was cold from the autumn wind, and the street lights were dim.
When Jenna came out of the underground parking lot, the chill brought by the autumn wind made her shiver. The electric car was already waiting aside, and she walked towards the electric car. However, as soon as she saw the person in the electric car, her face instantly darkened and her heart sank.
Norton was sitting in the electric car with a straight back. Although it was dark, the dim street light shone on his back. His mood seemed strange and unpredictable.
Jenna stopped in her tracks.
There was a storm brewing in her heart.
Norton sat quietly and didn't look back at her, but his back looked confident and calm.
A smile appeared at the corner of Jenna's mouth. It was an enchanting and unpredictable smile.
"Norton, you are in the car. What a coincidence," she took a step forward, sat in the back seat, and said in a very clear voice.
Norton seemed to have expected that she would take the initiative to sit behind him. He turned his head and smiled slightly. "Hello, Jenna."
It was a gentlemanly smile, but there was a hint of darkness in his eyes. Although the surrounding was also dark, Jenna still saw the shiny dark spots in his gloomy eyes. They were not representing
kindness; instead, it was a sign of warning, with some excessive enthusiasm and expectation for her.
This made her very uncomfortable. For a long time, Jenna didn't like his gaze. Even when she was studying at university, he deliberately approached her. Even though he was friendly and dedicated, she didn't like him. She had no reason to dislike him, but she just did not like him.
At that moment, she had calmed down, resisted all the unhappiness and weirdness in her heart, and said coldly, "It seems like you were waiting for me on purpose. Fine, just say it if you have anything to say. I was going to talk to you too."
"Really? It seems like we have coincided with each other. Great minds think alike!" Fie smiled charmingly, and cocked his head, looking at her with his faint dark eyes.
Jenna leaned back and frowned. Even though his smile was masculine, she still didn't like him.
Generally speaking, in terms of appearance, he was tall and handsome with a manly look, and his profile was somewhat similar to Flansen's. Fie was the kind of man who could suffocate women with his beauty. Fie was also successful in his career. On those accounts, Jenna should not have disliked him.
Flowever, Jenna couldn't help refusing him and hating him whenever she saw him.
Later, she understood that her instinct was because she didn't like the smell on his body. The evil smell that he always exuded was completely different from Fiansen's. Flansen's masculine and resolute smell made her feel at ease..
Flowever, Norton's scent was too strong and oppressive, not to mention, pungent. Just like species in nature, not every species were equal; it still came down to personal preference.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. It's getting late now." She took out her phone and swiped the screen to check the time. She was a little impatient. Dinner was about to be served in Richards Manor soon, and she would not be able to make it to dinner if she was late.
"Well, let's talk about it outside over dinner. How about that?" Norton asked generously and stared at her with a mysterious smile.
Jenna's expression became gloomy again.
"Norton, just tell me here if you have anything to say. Also, the last time you talked to me about my father, you seemed to know a lot of information. Can you tell me that too?" Jenna said briefly and quickly. The wind was really cold, and she was uncomfortable all over.
However, Norton was not simple either. He chose to keep her in suspense.
"Jenna, do you think it's alright to talk here?" He looked around while shrugging helplessly and spreading his hands.
Jenna took a deep breath and looked around. The Richards Manor was large in size, but there were not many people. Except for some cars that went in once in a while, there were not many workers there either. However, there was a driver in the electric car. That was it. He was obviously referring to the presence of the driver.
"Then let's step aside and talk." Jenna stood up and was about to get out of the car.
