After Jennifer left, James returned with a proposal in hand.
"Mr. Hans, this is the project plan for the next six months. The department has revised it according to your request at the meeting last time. If there is no problem, please sign it, and then they will carry out the project in this direction."
"Well, have you read it? Is there any problem?"
"No problem, but you should take another look..."
Hans directly turned to the last page and signed his name. "As long as you think it's fine, just leave it to them."
James had always been by his side since he first entered the company. If he could not trust James on this, then there was really no one he could trust around him.
"Alright." Hans closed the contract and handed the black file to James who was on the other side of the desk. "Give it to them."
James took it with a hesitant look, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Mr. Hans, have you read today's news?"
Hans was puzzled. This was the first time James asked such a question, "Why?"
He didn't like to read the news from his mobile phone. Every day, Jennifer would organize the newspaper and send it in. He glanced at the spot where the newspaper usually sat and frowned. His tone grew cold. "I think Jennifer is eager to get fired. When you go out, remind her to do her job."
There was a strange look that flashed past James's face but he did not dare to say anything.
He had been with Hans for a long time and he knew a little about the relationship between Hans and Jennifer. However, Hans's attitude towards Jennifer was so unpredictable. In front of others, he always treated her coldly, but he always secretly looked after her behind her back.
He didn't know how much Hans knew about what happened today.
James debated internally before he decided to silently walk out with the folder. Whether Hans knew about the news or not, it had nothing to do with him. He'd better not get muddled up in this mess.
When he passed by the secretary office, he reminded Jennifer to send in today's entertainment and finance papers into Hans's office.
Jennifer looked busy, her face turned pale when she realized her mistake. "I really forgot, did... he say anything?"
James gave her a comforting smile and said, "He didn't say anything. He just asked me to remind you. I think Mr. Hans is in a good mood today, so just quickly send it in."
Jennifer nodded hurriedly, picked up a pile of newspapers on the sofa opposite the desk, and walked out of the secretary office. When she was at the door of the president's office, she suddenly remembered something and turned to the break room to make a cup of coffee, no sugar, with a splash of milk. Then she took the newspaper in one hand and knocked on the door with the coffee in the other hand.
"Come in."
"Mr. Hans, the coffee you asked for and today's newspaper."
"Alright."
Hans didn't even raise his head. He was just scribbling on a piece of paper with his Parker fountain pen.
