Chapter 1855: Qian Jianhui’s Visit
The betrayer among Wen Corporation’s higher-ups was Sun Yichen.
Sun Yichen was someone who was always beside Grandpa, and he was well-respected by Grandpa. When Grandpa was implicated in Wen Corporation’s money laundering issues and was detained at the police station, he handed the corporation over to him, and during this time Sun Yichen had helped her quite a bit. Hence, she trusted Sun Yichen and held no suspicion for him.
However, when they were checking the warehouse that day, Sun Yichen suggested expanding the market to second- and third-tier cities, this allowed Wen Xinya to see Sun Yichen’s selfishness. Hence, she lost a bit of trust in him, yet she still did not suspect him.
The sale of low-quality clothing pieces in the market showed that there was a betrayer among the higher-ups in the Wen Corporation, and when she thought about Sun Yichen’s selfishness, to be careful, she started to test him.
She deliberately placed more pressure on Sun Yichen and treated him more harshly. She treated a vice president like him as a mere assistant, but unintentionally excluded Sun Yichen from the core of the corporation.
She behaved as if she was reliant on Sun Yichen, but she did not actually take him seriously.
If he was smart enough and was not actually the betrayer, then he should have known that because of his relationship with Grandpa, his status in her heart was actually quite high, and he should have worked with all his heart to gain her approval.
However, Sun Yichen did not actually do this. She was able to sense his displeasure and unwillingness from the small things he did, as well as the ambition he had deep in his heart.
She breathed in deeply, not looking too good.
Sun Yichen was Wen Corporation’s vice president and was also the assistant president. However, the assistant chairman and the assistant to the chairman differed in order, yet the roles the two consisted of were as different as the sky and the ground—the assistant to the president was a small duty and handled only trivial matters.
However, the assistant chairman was a real and powerful position, and the job scope involved advising, executing, coordinating and managing serious matters and staff. The power he held was only second to the chairman.
Sun Yichen held an important role and extraordinary status in the Wen Corporation, and he was in possession of many secrets of the corporation that not many people knew. Sun Yichen’s betrayal would have an immense impact on the Wen Corporation.
It was no wonder. It seemed as if Li Corporation was receiving help from deities, which allowed them to quicken their attack on Wen Corporation while they were caught off-guard.
At this time, a phone call from assistant Yang’s extension rang. Wen Xinya composed herself and said, “Missy, Chairman Qian and Chairman Liu are here waiting for you in the lounge.”
Wen Xinya’s eyes flashed with a strange look in her eyes, before she said, “I got it!”
Then, she ended the call.
Chairman Liu, who was here with Chairman Qian, was no small character. He was one of the older shareholders of the Wen Corporation and held quite a significant position among the shareholders. Even Grandpa would give way to him.
It was obvious that these two had come together because Qian Jianhui had begun to execute his ambitious plans on the Wen Corporation.
Wen Xinya walked over to the lounge and said, “Chairman Qian, Chairman Liu, I did not know that the two of you would be coming to visit from afar, please excuse me.”
Qian Jianhui and Wen Family had close relations. Normally, they would be considered close, and Qian Jianhui used to call her his niece. But Chairman Liu did not have many connections with the Wen Family.
Qian Jianhui smiled and looked at Wen Xinya, his face full of warmth. He said, “My niece, you are too polite. I must ask for your forgiveness as we have come uninvited and disturbed your work.”
“Grandpa Qian, I don’t like you saying that. After all, you are still Wen Corporation’s shareholder. Although the law clearly states that shareholders cannot be involved in the operations of the company, it does not state that you are not allowed to come to the company. Furthermore, you are still my elder. I welcome you to the Wen Corporation with open arms.”
Wen Xinya scolded Qian Jianhui in her heart for being a sly old fox. He was obviously trying to take over Wen Corporation, yet he could still sit in front of her and pretend to be a loving, warm elder.
The two of them spoke formalities to one another, yet the words they spoke were full of underlying meanings.
Qian Jianhui was waiting for Wen Xinya to ask what their motive for appearing was, yet he underestimated Wen Xinya’s patience. Compared to Wen Haowen who was stupid and careless, Wen Xinya was the one who had inherited Wen Zhihang’s abilities.
During this period, Wen Xinya presided over all the actions of Wen Corporation. Hence, a cunning man like Qian Jianhui could not help but be a little fearful of her.
Wen Xinya sat on the sofa and drank her tea. Although she knew that Qian Jianhui did not come for a kind visit, she was still as stable and composed as Mount Taishan and waited for Qian Jianhui to reveal the real reason for his visit.
Qian Jianhui smiled like the Smiling Buddha and finally said, “Niece, today I have come with Chairman Liu because we have something we need to inform you about.”
At this time, Qian Jianhui was not feeling too good in his heart.
He realized that he had underestimated Wen Xinya and was not too happy about that.
“Oh? What is it that you have to come personally to inform me?” Wen Xinya put down the teacup and asked.
Qian Jianhui was displeased with Wen Xinya, but he did not show it on his face. “This matter is of utmost importance and concerns the future of the Wen Corporation. Hence, I have to be serious about it.”
He was unwilling to lose, so he beat around the bush and did not tell her immediately, trying to get her frustrated and ask him first.
Yet, Wen Xinya did not give him what he wanted and simply said, “Grandpa Qian, do say it, don’t leave me hanging.”
Her words were a little impolite, but she left Qian Jianhui some face.
“During this crisis that Wen Corporation is currently going through, the welfare of shareholders has suffered, and after discussion among us, we have decided to hold a shareholders meeting, to plan for Wen Corporation’s future. Today, Chairman Liu and I have come to invite you as the Wen Family’s representative to the meeting.”
Qian Jianhui knew that Wen Xinya was like Wen Zhihang—impenetrable. Since they were unable to please her, there was no need to harp on the small issues and make everyone feel bad. In the end, it just made him seem calculative and made him lose his grace as an elder. Hence, he decided to get straight to the point.
Although she had guessed that Qian Jianhui did not come with good intentions, this piece of news made her feel a little shocked. She calmed herself down and asked, “When will this meeting be held?”
The fact that Qian Jianhui was able to hold a shareholders meeting so quickly proved that he had gained the utmost trust of the shareholders in the Wen Corporation. No one, other than Grandpa, would be able to suppress him.
And his aim of holding the meeting, was probably to take away the last of what was valuable to the corporation.
Qian Jianhui smiled and said, “It’s in five days, at 10 am in the morning.”
Wen Xinya coldly said, “Thank you for coming all the way here, I will definitely be there on time.”
Wen Xinya’s words seemed to be chasing the two men away.
