As soon as the board eting ended, the news of Wen Xinya being granted free access to the board etings as well as Ning Shuqian becoming a freshly minted director spread like wildfire within the Wen Corporation.
The entire Wen Corporation was flabbergasted.
As the successor of the Wen Family who had Old Mr. Wen’s support, it was no wonder that she would be granted access to the board etings. However, they could not understand why Ning Shuqian beca a mber of the board.
She was just a howrecker whom the Wen Family had yet to acknowledge even to this day. Previously, she was even branded as a vicious woman for faking her pregnancy in order to plot against Wen Xinya. Even if she owned 3% of the Wen Corporation’s shares, what rights did she have to join the board eting?
The entry-level employees were rely gossiping about the matter.
However, those who had worked hard and slogged away to climb the ladder were extrely displeased with Wen Haowen.
Wen Xinya was not concerned about what the Wen Corporation’s employees thought about Ning Shuqian becoming the latest mber of the board. She did not have the ti to care about it either, for she was pressed for ti. She had to co up with a solution to postpone the entertainnt city project within three days. Otherwise, she would lose control and dominance as soon as the funds were invested in the entertainnt city. Later on, she would have to be at Wen Haowen’s and Ning Shuqian’s rcy.
Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family mansion where Old Mr. Wen and Butler Yu were having a ga of chess.
Despite her lack of knowledge in Chinese chess, Wen Xinya could tell the ruthlessness of Old Mr. Wen’s chess moves.
The ga ended with Butler Yu losing terribly.
Butler Yu said, “You used to save so face when we played chess in the past and you’ve never made lose so terribly. Yet, you didn’t show any rcy at all today.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left the living room.
Wen Xinya took a seat on the spot where Butler Yu was sitting and said, “Grandpa, I’m sure you know about what happened during the board eting.”
She was firm with her tone, for she knew that Old Mr. Wen would find out about everything in the Wen Corporation.
Old Mr. Wen picked up the teacup and said with an icy cold gaze in his gray eyes, “I got soone to check on the loose shares of the Wen Corporation and there are a total of 5% that are available on the market. Three months ago, soone purchased about 3% of the shares at a high price. They couldn’t acquire the remaining 2%, however. You’re right, there’s indeed soone instigating and manipulating Ning Shuqian. That mastermind is making Ning Shuqian manipulate Wen Haowen and using the entertainnt city against the Wen Family.”
Three months ago, the entertainnt city project had yet to exist. Clearly, soone had begun planning the conspiracy a long ti ago.
Although Old Mr. Wen did believe Wen Xinya’s words which were supported by Ning Shuqian’s actions, he felt that he could deal with all petty tricks, given his rich experience in the business world. Hence, he did not quite take it to heart even though he did keep his guard up.
The 3% of shares made him flabbergasted.
He had considered buying back the 5% of the Wen Corporation’s shares before, but it required a massive amount of manpower, resources, money and ti. Besides, the profits wouldn’t be equal. Hence, he gradually dropped the idea.
The person manipulating Ning Shuqian actually had the ability to acquire 3% of the Wen Corporation’s shares. Clearly.... the mastermind was not inferior to the Wen Corporation in terms of abilities. Hence, he could not help but feel a sense of threat.
Wen Xinya was a little shocked, for she did not expect that Old Mr. Wen would act so soon. “Could you find out who the person who acquired those shares is?”
The mastermind had pulled such a great move, she felt that she could perhaps find out so clues about him. Having been a businessman for so many years, Old Mr. Wen definitely had his own network of connections and he might just be as useful as Celestial Detective Agency. After all, it was rather inconvenient for her to engage Celestial Detective Agency to check on this.
Old Mr. Wen answered with a slight frown, “There are still no useful leads for now.”
Wen Xinya nodded and thought to herself, It’s remarkable enough for Grandpa to have found out so much within such a short period of ti. Well, at least, Celestial Detective Agency wouldn’t be able to do this.
Wen Xinya frowned slightly. She subtly felt that it was not that easy for Celestial Detective Agency to find out the information that she wanted, be it about Xia Ruya’s missing or Ning Shuqian’s tricks.
She knew that they were rely a detective agency and hence, did not have the ability to find out more in greater detail, especially since the mastermind covered up so well.
It seems she had to rely on Si Yiyan to investigate and find out the information she needed in the future.
Old Mr. Wen looked up at Wen Xinya who had a sullen expression on her face. He asked softly, “Ning Shuqian has beco a director of Wen Corporation and she’s going to be cooperating with Wen Haowen to push for the entertainnt city project. What do you think about this?”
Ning Shuqian harbors ill intentions and I definitely can’t let her stay in the Wen Corporation. There’s nothing I can do about Wen Haowen if he’s willing to be manipulated by her.
Wen Xinya said slowly, “The most important thing to do now is to stop the entertainnt city project from proceeding.”
Since the mastermind intends to push for the entertainnt city project, will they have other plans in mind if the project is terminated or delayed?
Old Mr. Wen asked, “What solutions have you got?”
Old Mr. Wen could tell from the clear gaze in her eyes that she seed to have so ideas and hence, decided to ask her about her opinion. He was sure that she would have her own solutions regardless of what happened.
After giving it so thought, Wen Xinya said, “I haven’t got a concrete plan yet and still need so ti to consider. However, I’ll still need your help when the ti cos, Grandpa.”
Although the Wen Corporation did not seem to be affected by the entertainnt city project, they had already been affected to a certain extent. Hence, it would be impossible for her to handle it alone and she would need Old Mr. Wen’s help.
After hearing her words, Old Mr. Wen said with a warr expression, “Since you’ve said that, you definitely are confident. Go ahead and do what you have to. I’ll be here to support you no matter what happens.”
Wen Xinya had already given him too many surprises and he sohow had a lot of faith in her. Hence, he decided that he shouldn’t be too hesitant.
Wen Xinya smiled and exclaid, “Thank you, Grandpa!”
After her rebirth, her relationship with Old Mr. Wen was distant because of the fifteen years that they had lived separately. Although it was destined that they would never be that close, she was glad to have gained Old Mr. Wen’s trust.
