Chapter 1721: Public Opinion, To Reward the Well-Loved Boss
Wen Xinya’s move of walking out of the meeting with bosses of various health supplement firms was seen as an extremely arrogant move and made everyone angry. People started talking, and it was clear that there was a wave of dissatisfaction within the conference room.
“What is this, that was such a crazy move!”
“Right, she’s so arrogant!”
“Who does she think she is! I doubt she’ll be able to make any changes.”
“One week? Who does she think she is for us to even believe her!”
“The youth today care too little, she needs to know that such arrogance will do her no good.”
“I bet she’s afraid of us protesting against her post as the Chairman, so she’s stalling for time. I wonder what she will do after one week?”
“T-K Corporation is doing so well recently, and even us experienced old men can’t do anything about it. She’s nothing given her young age, what can she do about this? This is unbelievable.”
“She said to give her a week… fine. We shall give her one week, then we’ll see what she has to say after she fails.”
***
Regardless of their dissatisfaction, Wen Xinya did not care at all.
These top bosses of health supplement brands only accepted Luo Desen’s recommendation back then because the entire Country Z’s health supplement market was getting bought out by T-K Corporation, and only Lanxin Corporation stood strong and fought against T-K, even performing well.
Truth be told, due to the strong force from T-K, they had no other choice.
In fact, they did not recognize Lanxin Corporation, as in terms of both age and experience, she was sorely lacking.
Therefore, there was no need for Wen Xinya to deal with them and to bear with their attitudes.
When Wen Xinya stepped out of the health supplements brand meeting, she saw University students and civilians with strong local pride forming a protest, as they blocked the entrance of the meeting zone.
They held up banners, with indignant and angry displays.
“Resist foreign products!”
“Protect local brands!”
“Useless meeting, foreign capital will consume Country Z’s health supplements market.”
“Self-centered Lanxin Corporation opened the doors for T-K to dominate local brands!”
“Health Supplements Association Chairman Bella is working with T-K Corporation to sellout our local brands!”
…
Wen Xinya’s steps slowed to a stop, and she had an aura of power.
At this time, it was just about 10 in the morning, and the association had many cars and people moving about the area, so this group of protesters soon attracted much attention.
Even the journalists heard about this and rushed to the site to film and interview the protesters.
In just a short moment, there was an increase in both flashes and people, and it looked impressive due to its sheer number.
“Miss Bella is out…” “Bella is out…”
Everyone moved forward in a surge.
“Piak—” An egg flew and hit Wen Xinya straight on the head, its whites and yolk flowing across her face.
Zheng Yifan was shocked and hurriedly covered Wen Xinya. “Miss Wen, are you okay!”
He never thought that these people would be so agitated to the point where they would throw eggs at people.
“I’m okay, it only hit my hair. It did not injure me.” Wen Xinya felt the stickiness in her hair, and the egg whites flowed down her forehead and gradually seeped into her mask.
The smell of the rotten egg was extremely disgusting.
Such a feeling made her feel terrible.
“Miss, we could be in trouble!” Zheng Yifan’s face looked troubled.
The protesters and the journalists were now on the same side, and such a combination would be tough to handle.
“Yan Shaoqing will be here anytime soon.” Under the mask, no one could see Wen Xinya’s expression clearly, but her cold voice clearly showed her unhappiness.
Yan Shaoqing received news earlier on that people would protest in front of the Health Supplements Association and knew that Wen Xinya would be in trouble, so he came to fetch them.
Zheng Yifan carefully said, “These people are scolding Lanxin Corporation for being greedy and selfish, and even said that you’re selling out our local brands. I’m afraid that such ideas were planted by T-K Corporation.”
T-K Corporation used to be righteous in the past, but ever since the final battle began, they became absolutely underhanded.
This was probably related to Xia Ruya.
That woman would do anything to achieve her goals.
“Not completely though, as a majority of the people were incited by T-K Corporation, and a part of them were indeed arranged by them.”
Wen Xinya’s voice was indifferent. This dramatic battle was probably driven by Xia Ruya. With such toxic and venomous moves, she was definitely determined to bring her down.
***
There was an increasing number of people and journalists, and when they discovered Wen Xinya, they proceeded to surround her, preventing her from moving.
Wen Xinya was deeply embedded within the group of protesters and journalists and was unable to remove herself from the situation.
“Miss Bella, please accept our interview…”
“May we please enquire about the content of the conference? Did the association develop a counterplan to T-K Corporation’s plan to acquire Country Z’s health product companies?”
“Ever since Lanxin Corporation and T-K Corporation begun this battle, it seems that Lanxin has been on the losing end all this time. May we know what do you plan to do to deal with T-K Corporation’s ferocious attacks?”
“Miss Bella, does Lanxin Corporation’s weakness represent that Lanxin has already lost to T-K Corporation and is unable to resist their attacks?”
“There has been news that ever since you took over as the chairman of the association, you have been continuously doubted by the other members, and the other members have been in a tense state all this time. Is this true?”
“According to my sources, the Health Supplements Association has been very dissatisfied with you, and is even thinking of removing you from the post of chairman. Is this true?”
“There have been news that T-K Corporation bought you over with money, and your greed caused you to betray our local brands. What explanation do you have for this?”
Each and every question by the journalists got increasingly worse and difficult to answer.
Wen Xinya was caught in the middle of the journalists, and her expression in the moment was unclear. However, her impressive aura still caused people to be mildly afraid.
“To answer your questions, I only have three points.”
Wen Xinya stopped momentarily and gazed at the reporters.
“Firstly, both the Health Supplements Association and Lanxin Corporation will resist being bought out by foreign firms for as long as we can. I hope that everyone can refrain from having any negative speculations about us, as this is exactly what T-K Corporation wants, for you to blame your own people and side with the opponent.
“Secondly, regardless of whether its Lanxin Corporation or me, we will not make any greedy, traitorous moves. This was T-K Corporation’s scheme to sow discord amongst ourselves, and I hope that everyone can calm down and do not get incited by other people.
“Thirdly, Lanxin Corporation is currently passive, but this does not mean that we have already lost the battle. We hope that everyone can have some faith in us, and do not give up support for our local brands until the very last moment.”
Wen Xinya’s short three points actually had much for the journalists to go and think about.
