Chapter 1186: Wen Haowen Is a Double-Edged Sword
Wen Xinya did not care about the rumors circulating in the school. After three years, if Xia Ruya still believed that rumors were enough to defeat her, she must be really gullible. She was waiting for Xia Ruya to make her next move.
Unlike Xia Ruya’s underhanded schemes, she preferred to use methods that were less shameful. After all… she had a grandfather who was a respected scholar and a noble mother who wished for her to lead an upright life. If her actions were to be seen as underhanded, how could she ever face her Grampy who spent his efforts teaching her? How would she be able to stand in front of her mother’s grave?
This was the reason why no matter how much she hated Xia Ruya, Ning Shuqian, and Ning Yuya, she did not step over the line and did anything inhumane.
What she truly cared about was the situation within the Wen Corporation.
Si Yiyan said, “Zhang Corporation is working with Wen Corporation on the entertainment city project. As of now, the first batch of funding has been transferred, with a total of five hundred million yuan. The entertainment city project has started.”
This matter was undisclosed, and the media was still unaware of it.
“I did not expect the Korean-Chinese Alliance to be so anxious.” The alliance between Zhang Corporation and Wen Corporation had been set in stone. After signing the contract, such a huge amount of funding was transferred in just a week. It was clearly planned beforehand.
Si Yiyan continued, “The anxious one may not be the Korean-Chinese Alliance. I know this organization—their best trait is their patience. They planned this game for a long time. They have waited a whole 20 years already, there’s no way they would suddenly rush this way right at the very end. There must be someone pushing them.”
If they could not even handle this, how could Korean-Chinese Alliance remain as a fearsome group?
Upon hearing this, Wen Xinya immediately understood. “You mean Wen Haowen?”
If you thought about it, Wen Haowen was really an impatient person. Judging by the progress of the project in the entertainment city, he had strengthened his control over the entire Wen Corporation. And this project was led by him. Wen Haowen had been suppressed for more than 20 years. Finally, he exhaled, and it would be reasonable to make a move.
Si Yiyan said, “Wen Haowen is anxious, and Korean-Chinese Alliance is just going along with it. This is the consistent style of the Korean-Chinese Alliance. It is difficult for people to catch on to what they are doing.”
Wen Xinya nodded with a look that was somewhat unsightly. “It’s really hard for me to imagine. It has only been a short while and now the Wen Corporation has fallen to the point of letting these people handle it? I once looked down on Wen Haowen and felt that he was overly ambitious and mainly looking out for his self-interests. Although I have taken precautions, I have never thought much of it, same with Grandpa. We thought, on one hand, we could use Wen Haowen to contain the overall situation of the Wen Corporation, and on the other hand, seized the entire power of the Wen Corporation. But who knew that Wen Haowen is a double-edged sword?”
Even she could not help but marvel at the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s use of Wen Haowen. Wen Haowen, the double-edged sword, was naturally convenient for the Wen Family, but the Korean-Chinese Alliance was even more amazing, being able to use him against them.
Si Yiyan said, “During the meeting for the launch of the entertainment city project, your grandpa, Old Mr. Wen, participated as a director and a major shareholder. He announced on the spot that the Wen Corporation would vigorously promote the entertainment city project.”
Si Yiyan admired Old Mr. Wen’s decisiveness. This part of him… Xinya was just like him in this regard.
Surprised, Wen Xinya said, “Grandpa, this is…”
The Korean-Chinese Alliance’s intention was to use Wen Haowen to gain control of the Wen Corporation. She had previously suggested to her grandpa not to act rashly and alert the enemy. Although Grandpa seemed like he had believed her, he did not explicitly say anything to her. After a long time, she thought that Grandpa had his own thoughts on the matter. She had no clue Grandpa was just waiting for the right time.
And the launch meeting of the entertainment city project turned out to be the timing he was waiting for.
After meeting the board of directors again and intervening in the group affairs, he expressed his full support for the entertainment city project in order to prevent the Korean-Chinese Alliance from suspecting him.
Everyone knew that although Grandpa did not approve of the project in the entertainment city project, he did not really block it. It was this kind of unpredictable thought that was even more puzzling. At this time, the project was too huge. Since Grandpa could no longer stop it, it was only natural for him to support the project to prevent alerting the enemy. Those people would, at most, doubt his intentions a little.
From here on, although Grandpa’s words and deeds were constrained, he still had half the authority and control over the corporation.
Wen Xinya sighed deeply. The situation had finally stabilized.
Si Yiyan said, “Now, with your grandfather in the Wen Corporation, you don’t have to worry about it. The most urgent thing is to find a way to develop your own business as soon as possible. In the future, if the Wen Corporation is under attack…”
Si Yiyan looked at her with a concerned look and a puzzling meaning in his tone. He had millions of ways to counter the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s plots against the Wen Corporation. However, he did not want to deal with them that way and had other plans in his mind.
Wen Xinya naturally understood what he meant. “I know that Lanxin skincare product expansion has been basically completed. At present, it is operating well. It is managed by Zheng Yifan. The preparation of health products has been basically completed and it could have been put into production even a year ago. Yan Shaoqing is in charge of the market, and everything is going well. I am confident that the health care brand will capture a substantial share of the market when it is released.”
The health care brand was a business project that she had planned for three years. She had been preparing during that period to make a name for herself in the future. In the past, she was prepared but lacked the crucial element. Now, with Zheng Yifan, there was no problem with the operation.
Si Yiyan said, “Do you need my help?”
The Xiasi Group, in the past few years, had performed well in the management of traditional Chinese medicine. If the cooperation between the two companies was publicized, it would certainly bring benefits.
Wen Xinya laughed. “You have already helped me a great deal, it is up to me now.”
All the traditional Chinese medicine Lanxin Company needed was from the Xiasi Group. This was only known to her last year. Although she was annoyed that he hid it from her, Si Yiyan’s unwavering support without regard for principles still moved her.
From here on, it all depended on herself.
When it came to business, the most worrying things were her contacts and funds. She owned Lanxin Investment Company, which was pretty good as well. Now, after three consistent years of hard work, Lanxin Company was now ready to rise to the top.
