Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Wen Xinya was indeed behind the online furor over the Boya Pavilion.

Before the Heiress’ Gala and after meeting up with Aunt Zhou, she had Liu Yanhua conduct a thorough investigation into all relevant information on the Heiress’ Gala over the years. The Boya Pavilion and its owner were a mysterious force and it was near impossible to squeeze out much information on them. On the other hand, the Heiress’ Gala was a much-publicized upper society event that had been held over many years. It was a piece of cake to dig up information on the gala.

​ 

With Si Yiyan’s aid, she had gathered as much information about the Heiress’ Gala as she could, just for the sake of dealing the Boya Pavilion a vicious blow after the event. Miss Su’s provocation of her during the gala was just an excuse.

She had made use of Miss Su to expose all those salacious rumors concerning the Boya Pavilion.

The key to succeeding in politics was that no matter how messy things were beneath the surface, one must always present a clean, upright and honorable front before your citizens. With all those dirty scandals plaguing the Boya Pavilion, was it still possible for them to try and manipulate the Parliament and stir things up in Capital city?

In this way, the Wen Family would be able to escape unscathed from the Parliament.

In the eyes of the Boya Pavilion owner, the Wen Family and Wen Xinya were just insignificant pawns. She never expected to suffer any backlash from them. Now, all her scheming had ended up being for nothing.

“It is truly a double whammy for the Boya Pavilion this time.”

Wen Xinya couldn’t help giggling when she thought of how the Boya Pavilion owner had sacrificed a priceless Ru ware just for the sake of safeguarding her ploy.

“The Boya Pavilion relied on many years of careful management in order to maintain their high esteem and reputation in Capital city. You have really seized the Boya Pavilion by their throats with your use of all these damaging scandals.”

At that point, the Boya Pavilion appeared to have Wen Xinya forced to a corner.

But the Boya Pavilion owner had grossly underestimated Xinya.

“The Boya Pavilion made use of the Heiress’ Gala to gather connections. This is such a high-level move that I can’t help admiring them. But as long as there are women involved, there will be conflicts. This is a time-honored truth. So it has been a walk in the park for me to make use of the Heiress’ Gala to orchestrate this whirlwind of negative media attention on the Boya Pavilion.”

The same person was the cause behind the rise and fall of the Boya Pavilion!

This was the most truthful portrayal of the Boya Pavilion.

Wen Xinya had a wide fan base and that media mogul Ling Qingxuan on her side—it was entirely within her powers to deal the Boya Pavilion a heavy blow when they least expected it!

Si Yiyan pinched her nose gently. “Now that the Boya Pavilion has incited such a major public furor and invited much attention and suspicions on themselves—I guess that they will be laying low for the time being for fear of exposing too much.”

This was the usual practice of the Korean-Chinese Alliance.

Wen Xinya snorted. “Only shady characters and losers sneak around in the shadows.”

Wen Xinya disdained the antics of the Korean-Chinese Alliance. Apart from hiding in the shadows, they used all sorts of twisted methods to manipulate others. What else were they not capable of?

“But even so, you must not let your guard down. They will not so easily give up the chance to defeat the Wen Family. You must be careful of Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan.”

The Boya Pavilion had to remain in the shadows for now and would not dare to make any bold moves.

On the other hand, Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya were free to maneuver in broad daylight, and they would probably take this opportunity to strike the Wen Corporation.

With one side plotting from the shadows and the other assailing them in the light—a combined attack from these two sides would not be something easy to deal with.

An idea popped into Wen Xinya’s head. “Chu Jingnan is making use of the Xiao Family to gradually take hold of the Xiao Corporation. Meanwhile, Xia Ruya is discreetly helping to develop the Li Corporation. The Li Corporation has even opened their flagship store right beside Wen Corporation’s Jo-ramst. It looks like my battle with Xia Ruya will be starting soon.”

Wen Xinya’s expression darkened as she thought about the Rosy Lane opening right beside Jo-ramst.

Rosy Lane was Xia Ruya’s own brand. It used to focus only on conservative and demure clothing for women. Banking on the Li Family’s great reputation and the support of the Korean-Chinese Alliance, the brand made substantial headway in the country.

But she discovered recently that Rosy Lane’s clothing designs had become extremely similar to Jo-ramst’s. Not only that, but the details of the designs were also even more intricate and lovelier than Jo-ramst’s.

This made her highly vigilant.

“Xia Ruya is intent on letting the Li Corporation step on the Wen Corporation in order to ascend. Xinya, you must beware of the core management of the Wen Corporation.” Si Yiyan looked at her meaningfully.

In the business world, many people would not be afraid to use nefarious means for the sake of personal gain.

Especially in Country Z, where traditional management styles held profits as their highest priority—it was a piece of cake to target a company’s core management.

As far he knew, at least half of the companies in Country Z had fallen because their opponent had managed to disrupt their core management.

Wen Corporation took a deep breath. “You are right. Xia Ruya wants to defeat the Wen Corporation, and the quickest and most effective way is to target the core management of the Wen Corporation.”

Having been under Wen Haowen for so many years, there were many issues within the Wen Corporation. Although Wen Xinya now had control of the company, there were still numerous deep-rooted problems embedded within the company’s core management.

Xia Ruya was someone who was able to spot and take advantage of the tiniest opportunity. Things that others viewed as unimportant might end up being a useful tool in her arsenal. Massive damages could be wrought from just a moment’s negligence.

This was Xia Ruya’s favorite method. They had to be extremely careful.

Wen Xinya continued, “I will call Grandpa in a moment. The Wen Corporation now needs him to hold down the fort, only then would those with nefarious motives think twice before doing anything.”

Although she held a relatively high position among the shareholders, it was only because they did not have a clash of interests for the time being.

The moment anything happened in the company and the shareholders’ interests were impacted—she, as the acting Chairman, would be in the crossfire.

Si Yiyan said, “That would be the right decision. Prevention is better than cure.”

There were too many problems within the Wen Corporation. There were so many things that Xia Ruya could make use of. It was inevitable that there would a massive attack on the company sooner or later. In order to deal with Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan, they still had to depend on Old Mr. Xiao’s own tricks and Lanxin Company.

It was not a suitable time for Wen Xinya to continue being the acting Chairman.

She still did not hold the breadth of experience required to hold down the shareholders when Wen Corporation got attacked. The board of directors and shareholders would just heap all the blame on her and she would end up getting burned.

It was different for Old Mr. Wen. He had been at the helm of the Wen Corporation for so many years that no one would dare to make any false moves against him.

Wen Xinya sighed softly. “I really hope the Wen Corporation will not suffer too intense a blow.”

Over the past few years, she and Grandpa had already done all the necessary prep work to meet the Korean-Chinese Alliance in battle. They just hoped to preserve the Wen Corporation’s foundation as much as possible.

Si Yiyan remained silent.

He could already predict the future of the Wen Corporation.
