Chapter 175
Hansen was smoking a cigarette and sitting in the chief- officer chair, staring motionlessly at the computer.
However, his mind was churning.
Some time ago, in order to avoid risks, he had given Jenna 60% of the shares to operate overseas. Hansen wondered what happened to her?
Obviously, this storm was not just in Europe, but a global one. However, the situation elsewhere was slightly better than in Europe.
But what would happen to her?
Picking up the phone on the table, he discovered that the phone was turned off.
D*mn it!
His mood was so bad over the past few days. He had plunged into an unprecedented anxiety, and even dared not call Jenna. He didn't know how to face her.
He felt ashamed over his actions.
How could he face her?
Just thinking about this, he put down the phone again.
In the past, when Hansen could have had Jenna, he felt that he was the person who suffered the most in the world, and he was cruel to her.
Then, when he desperately wanted to have her, he found it harder than reaching the sky.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Grandma's words told him that the relationship between them was likely to end.
No one else could be blamed for this. He was the one to be blamed for all this as he was ignorant about what was right and wrong.
Grandma was right. No one could help him with the mistakes he made. He could only pay for his absurd mistakes.
He was afraid that he would lose her in this life.
Of all, Jenna was hurt the most. From the beginning to the present, she suffered countless times more than him.
To put it bluntly, he contributed to all of her pain.
He couldn't even beg for her forgiveness.
Thinking of this, he squeezed the phone in his hand and closed his eyes.
Even if he gave her everything, it would be irreparable.
"D*mn, it's plunged again, and it will be over if this continues," a company executive uttered a low cry of surprise and panic.
"Dragged by the international financial sector, the index fell again and hit the lowest number in nearly a decade. It was the so-called Black Wednesday. Security companies are all green and the market is covered under a gloomy veil,” the TV announcer announced the news with a usual tone.
"The continued downturn in the stock market has caused some people to lose everything overnight, and companies with insufficient funds have declared bankruptcy. The market has started panicselling and a vicious circle has led to a further decline in stock indexes."
The phone rang everywhere in the office.
After a while, the office fell silent.
"Mr. Richards, due to the impact of the financial crisis, several orders were terminated." After receiving the call, Nathan, the marketing manager, took the lead in opening the topic.
"Mr. Richards, the orders for luxury cars have a lot of refund requests because they are unable to pay."
"Mr. Richards, some shareholders called to ask what's going on, and some asked to withdraw their shares."
Hansen took a deep puff of his cigarette and sat still, as if he didn't care about what happened.
Retribution, this was retribution.
Maybe if there was nothing, everything would be better.
If he could exchange everything for Jenna, he would be very happy.
He should have nothing. Given his behavior, why should he have a successful career and a status that would make everyone envious?
Career, family, marriage, predecessors; everything was twisted together.
There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, which actually gave one the feeling that he was watching a joke from the sidelines.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't understand his expression.
After Jenna got off the plane, she felt more serious.
It seemed that after returning to A City, the atmosphere of panic had become stronger.
She saw that many shops had signs advertising that they were letting out their shops, and shopping malls and restaurants were lifeless.
Without thinking about these things, Jenna rushed to International Kinsey Center directly after taking a taxi.
There was an ominous premonition that the Richards Group were encountering unprecedented trouble. Hansen must be in a state of exhaustion now, that was why he hadn't called for so many days.
Even if he didn't call, his dad was next to Jenna. A few days ago, as long as he had time, he would call her and ask about his dad warmly. Now, the atmosphere was completely wrong.
When she opened the door of the conference center.
She saw the smog in the meeting room. There was a cloud of smoke inside.
The strong smell of smoke wafted over, and the depressing air made one suffocate.
Jenna's eyebrows were slightly tensed.
The moment the door of the conference room was pushed open, a breath of fresh air wafted in.
Everyone saw the light of hope.
Including Hansen himself.
He looked up and saw Jenna at the door. She was dressed in a long crimson coat and shawl. She had beautiful hair and was charming and full of confidence.
Her bright eyes looked directly at him.
There was anxiety and concern in his eyes.
Hansen's heartbeat slowed for half a beat, and then began to jump wildly. Then his whole body heated up, feeling an unprecedented excitement. The woman he was thinking of stood in front of him, and he knew how much he wanted to see her these days.
A huge joy rose from the bottom of his heart and soon rushed to his forehead. The gloominess on his face faded, a layer of blush rose, and his eyes cleared.
Almost for just an instant.
Unprecedented courage rose in his heart.
For their happiness.
He decided to fight for it.
If he did not marry Aria, the Richards Group would be hit hard and his reputation would be damaged. He would be reprimanded by thousands of people.
Anything could start from scratch.
As long as Jenna could stand by his side and trust him, that was enough.
He did not want to lose Jenna, not at all! He had never been a good man, and it didn't matter even if it brought shame upon himself.
For his beloved woman, he was willing to carry infamy forever.
"Jenna, you are back." He stood up with a rare smile on his face.
Suddenly there was a spring breeze blowing through the freezing winter, blowing away the darkness of the room.
The red figure that was Jenna burned in the quiet conference room like a fire. She walked toward Hansen with a confident smile, and her beautiful eyes swept across the room. She observed everyone's expression.
She understood everything.
It seemed that Richards Group really encountered difficulties this time.
But was this a big deal to Richards Group?
Hansen, a big man who had been in the business world for so long, was scared by this little thing?
What was this financial crisis?
She slowly approached Hansen like a fire, staring at him with big bright eyes.
Hansen's eyes were clear, his pupils were shining, and the soft light in his eyes was dazzling. He saw Jenna standing in front of him, smiling playfully and charmingly, and the fire in his heart ignited.
The way Jenna looked at him felt like she was challenging Hansen.
What was the challenge? He understood that it was a challenge to adversity, calmness to the difficulties he faced, and he felt that she had a little contempt for him.
His precious woman had actually scorned him, Mr. Richards. This was depressing!
At that moment.
He laughed loudly.
Smiling confidently, calmly, and comfortably, the peculiar calmness that disappeared from him returned instantly.
Jenna was sure that what she saw was a free, confident, unruly man standing in front of her with ambition.
She pursed her lips and smiled softly.
She sat down beside him.
She opened the notebook in her hand.
Everyone was relieved.
They heard Hansen's hearty laugh, which was definitely a joyful laugh from the bottom of his heart.
The alarm was finally lifted.
They were sure that Mr. Richards would stop throwing tantrums for no reason.
Everyone saw the sun. It was clear that the snowflakes were still flying outside, and there were even more and more omens of disaster. The sky was as dark as night.
However, they saw the bright sun.
The tension and decadence was replaced with a relaxed atmosphere.
Jenna's fingers tapped on the keyboard a few times, then she raised her head. Her face had a faint smile on it, beautiful and dazzling.
"Mr. Richards, the biggest opportunity for our company is here. Please buy several major companies under the Mobile and Wireless sectors immediately." Jenna sighed after sitting down,
turning her head slightly, and facing Hansen's soft and bright eyes. She spoke clearly.
She said decisively, simply, and with plenty of confidence.
Hansen could smell the faint white scent of white flowers on her body, as well as her intoxicating body scent. It seemed that he hadn't smelled such a reassuring scent for a long time, and that was why he was so confused and irritated.
The lingering breath of the fragrance infiltrated his nostrils, and then slowly soaked into his internal organs. Hansen was so intoxicated and his mind became sober.
"Ms. Murphy, now the market is panicking. Wouldn't it be abrupt to purchase a company now?" Someone questioned.
"Yes, Ms. Murphy. Our company might not even have the ability to acquire these companies now. Even if we do, if we continue to decline in the future, it will drag the entire company down. But if we stay in place, even if we' re affected, we can at least preserve the centuries- old name of the Richards Group, and it won't be difficult to revive it," different voices sounded.
Unexpectedly, Jenna smiled faintly, and her clear voice rang loudly through the conference room.
"Dear colleagues, our company should take this opportunity to acquire more, because not only will we not be damaged, but taking this opportunity would take us to the next level. Haven't you always been eyeing the mobile and wireless sectors? Their profits and benefits are almost comparable to the Richards Group, and they have the backing of their country. They are basically safe. Usually, it's difficult to purchase them, but now God has given us a chance, which shouldn't be in vain. Now is the best timing. Colleagues, we need to take risks in order to break through the bottleneck. Normally, even if we wait for decades, we may not be able to get this opportunity. This wave of the financial crisis will not last too long, and the market demand will explode soon after being suppressed for a period of time. This panic is temporary. Don't worry, it will subside very soon. At
this time, it is the darkest hour before dawn. We should take this opportunity to start. The sooner the better. The opportunity will fade if we hesitate even a little."
