Chapter 1859

Qian Jianhui made his moves non-stop after the new shares were issued, causing the Wen Corporation’s crisis to be exposed. This piece of news greatly agitated the media and attracted their attention. After Wen Corporation’s Old Mr. Wen went to the police station for questioning, Wen Xinya took control over the whole situation.

All this time, Wen Xinya had done many things in the corporation, and no one had any doubts about her ability, yet she did not resolve Wen Corporation’s problems and instead caused Wen Corporation to be embroiled in a financial crisis.

This made many question Wen Xinya’s abilities, as many of them felt that while she was skillful, she was young and did not have sufficient experience which limited her capabilities. She was unable to take charge of the Wen Corporation and had no way to resolve the corporation’s problems.

This way of thinking resounded with many people in the Wen Corporation.

This was especially true for the stubborn old people in Wen Corporation, who thought they were better because of their age. These stubborn old men were key stakeholders of the company and consisted of old shareholders, directors, and higher-ups. Not only did they doubt Wen Xinya’s abilities, but they were also unhappy with Old Mr. Wen, as he left the company to a young lady just because she was his granddaughter and did not care about the others’ welfare.

Old Mr. Wen’s status began to waver.

The Wen Family’s decision-making power also began to waver.

At this time, the media got hold of the news that Wen Corporation was about to hold a shareholder’s meeting and made a big deal of it. Through their actions, everyone was aware that there were intense conflicts in the Wen Corporation, and that the tension would cause large conflicts during the shareholder’s meeting.

This shareholder’s meeting would have a large impact on Wen Corporation’s future and fate, at the same time deciding if the Wen Family would be able to maintain control of the Wen Corporation and remain the largest shareholder of the Wen Corporation.

However, those with eyes would be able to tell that money held all the power, that the power of the Wen Family was diminishing, and that the future for the Wen Family was worrying.

Of course, if Old Mr. Wen was able to leave the police station at this time to take over the situation, then the Wen Family would have a chance to turn their defeat into victory. However, these were just “ifs”.

In the blink of an eye, the shareholder’s meeting was that week.

9:50 am in the morning, Wen Xinya entered Wen Corporation, with Xue Yishan and Cao Zixing behind her.

The workers that she passed still greeted her, but with a change in their expressions. After all, as workers of the Wen Corporation, they knew better than anyone else what was happening in Wen Corporation.

Wen Xinya did not care.

“Good morning, Vice-Chairman Su!”

“Good morning, Vice-Chairman Su!”

Sun Yichen brought his assistant and entered Wen Corporation behind Wen Xinya. The employees that he passed by greeted him passionately, which made him feel proud.

In the past, he used to walk behind Wen Xinya. When the employees saw them, they would simply say, “Good morning, Missy. Good morning, Vice-Chairman Su”. Yet today, his status in the Wen Corporation had changed, and so had the employees’ attitudes toward him, which allowed him to taste the ability of power.

He walked forward in big steps until he was beside Wen Xinya and said, “Good morning, Missy!”

At this time, as he faced Wen Xinya, he was no longer humble and was instead arrogant and prideful, as if he was in the same position as Wen Xinya.

“Good morning, Vice-Chairman Su!”

Wen Xinya wore a tailored black suit, which had a smooth and graceful cut and accentuated her figure. She wore a red, lacey top under the suit. The colors were strikingly different, which created a classic red-black combination and made her seem mature and elegant, sophisticated and noble, restrained and stable.

Cao Zixing and Xue Yishan were not used to Sun Yichen’s insufferable arrogance.

Cao Zixing laughed coldly. “When the villain gets his way—”

“He rejoices!” Xue Yishan continued.

The two were in perfect harmony, causing the proud expression to fall off Sun Yichen’s face. Yet, he tried his best to be calm and sneered. “Chairman Cao and Deputy CEO Xue, you two seem to have some misunderstandings about me. Everyone is working for the benefit and for the future of the Wen Corporation. As the saying goes: the bird chooses the best place to rest. Aren’t we all just trying our best to make use of our talents?”

Sun Yichen managed to justify himself in just a few words.

Cao Zixing and Xue Yishan scoffed, unwilling to continue arguing with him.

Even if Sun Yichen tried to speak beautifully, he would not be able to hide his betrayal. The fact that he was able to climb from being a small clerk into the position of vice-chairman was all thanks to the nurture and support of the Wen Family. However, instead of being grateful, he still became an ingrate and betrayed the trust of the Wen Family. Such a person could not even be called a human.

Sun Yichen felt a little awkward and looked at Wen Xinya. “Missy, I’m sure you’re here for the shareholder’s meeting!”

Wen Xinya was cold and said, “Obviously!”

Wen Xinya did not respect those who tried to make awkward small talk and make things uncomfortable for themselves.

Wen Xinya’s indifferent attitude made Sun Yichen feel even more awkward. He felt anger bubbling in his heart, but he could not let it show. “Let me remind you on account that Chairman Wen once nurtured and advised me.

“The meeting this time was organized specifically to go against the Wen Family. The Wen Family is now unable to maintain control and decision-making power over Wen Corporation. If you know this, you should stop trying to fight with us aimlessly. Otherwise, the Wen Family will not be able to maintain even their status.”

Old Mr. Wen’s prestige and influence in the Wen Corporation had diminished greatly and Wen Xinya’s ability was being questioned. This shareholder’s meeting was Qian Jianhui’s opportunity to get rid of the Wen Family and dilute their power in the Wen Corporation.

Wen Xinya would never be able to fight against Qian Jianhui.

Cao Zixing and Xue Yishan’s faces changed and they glared at Sun Yichen, evidently displeased about Sun Yichen trying to challenge Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya did not care. She laughed coldly and looked at him with clear eyes. “I didn’t know Chairman Sun still remembered what the Wen Family did for you. however, you don’t have to bother about us. On account of the fact that my Grandpa once respected you, I will also give you a warning. ‘To abandon someone after they have achieved their aims’—you should be careful of those who choose to kick someone to the curb when they’ve outlived their usefulness.”

If one did not listen the first time, no matter how many times one was reminded, it would not work.

Sun Yichen may betray Old Mr. Wen who nurtured him because of his own benefit and kick the Wen Family away to become Qian Jianhui’s lackey, but who’s to say he would not do that to Qian Jianhui?

Qian Jianhui was not stupid. He was scheming and manipulative. Once he had taken over Wen Corporation, would he still bear with Sun Yichen?

Of course not!

If Sun Yichen was a typical elite, Qian Jianhui may have been able to tolerate having him around. However, Sun Yichen was a man of high status and power in the Wen Corporation and was the Deputy General Manager.

Sun Yichen’s face changed and his eyes revealed a glimpse of thoughtfulness before he composed himself and laughed. “Missy, you don’t have to say these words to cause a rift between us. Do you think I will believe you? You really underestimate me.”

Actually, Sun Yichen did not feel too good at this time.

He knew better than anyone else what kind of man Qian Jianhui was. However, with high risks came high rewards. Upon thinking of what Xia Ruya had promised him, that he would become the Chairman of Wen Corporation after this was completed, he felt that this was worth the risk.

After all, although he was the vice-chairman of Wen Corporation and was respected by Old Mr. Wen, after Wen Xinya became the chairman, things would change, and he would not be able to keep his current status.

Wen Xinya coldly replied, “It’s up to you to believe me or not.”
