Chapter 1865 - Old Mr. Wen Is Out!
Chapter 1865: Old Mr. Wen Is Out!
In the conference room, Wen Xinya and Qian Jianhui were having a fierce debate, and neither was willing to yield to the other.
Everyone’s gaze in the conference room was focused on the two of them, and everyone knew that the battle between the Wen and Qian factions would peak right here. Whoever ended up victorious would be decided by the battle happening right now.
Regardless of whether it was the Qian faction, who seemed to be a little ahead, that won, or the Wen faction, which seemed a little weaker, that ended up victorious, everyone still felt anxious about it.
Everyone knew that regardless of who won the battle, the opposing party would definitely get kicked out of the board of directors.
Wen Xinya slowly sat straighter on the chair that she was leaning back on and exuded an air of dominance that exceeded even that of Old Mr. Wen. “Ah, Chairman Qian, you must be kidding! After Wen Corporation’s shares were diluted and reformed, the shareholders here, along with our two foreign directors, hold less than forty-five percent of the shares, so where did the remaining seven percent come from?”
Her cold gaze fell straight on Qian Jianhui like icicles.
Qian Jianhui felt ecstatic and was about to speak!
Yet, Wen Xinya did not give him any chance to. “Let me tell everybody here. Li Corporation took advantage of Wen Corporation’s low share prices and bought over seventeen percent of our shares and worked with Qian Jianhui and Sun Yichen to transfer ten percent of the shares to Qian Jianhui. This was all in an attempt to seize control of Wen Corporation. So, director Qian Jianhui, am I wrong?”
Li Corporation had rapidly expanded and did not have a stable foundation. Their management was shallow, Xia Ruya must have known that. Therefore, she decided to plot together with Qian Jianhui to help him take over control of Wen Corporation, and both of them would achieve their goals, where Xia Ruya would become a shareholder of Wen Corporation. Afterward, Li Corporation would slowly take over Wen Corporation and expand their own corporation. This could then allow Li Corporation’s unstable foundations and shallow management to improve and further allow them to grow.
It was using one stone to kill two birds and was a cause for celebration.
She could already detect it from Sun Yichen’s betrayal and Qian Jianhui’s purchase of the other shareholder’s stocks.
She did not say anything, but she had already plotted it in her head. She coldly gazed Qian Jianhui, Sun Yichen and the rest, who were about to go on the path of failure, aided by her.
Qian Jianhui’s expression instantly changed and he stood up from his chair. “Wen Xinya, how could you say such scandalous things just to keep Wen Family’s control over Wen Corporation? Don’t spread false rumors, produce the evidence if you have it, else it will not be easy to convince everyone here.”
At that moment, Qian Jianhui felt extremely uneasy.
Li Corporation’s secret purchase of Wen Corporation’s stocks should have been very well-hidden as it was placed under the name of a famous foreigner. Wen Xinya could never have found out about his cooperation with Li Corporation.
Qian Jianhui sounded morally upright, so the majority of the shareholders did not believe her and started to rebuke Wen Xinya.
“How could Chairman Qian do such things, bring out the evidence!”
“Show us the proof or I will not believe you.”
“Wen Family is too despicable. How dare you slander Chairman Qian for working with Li Corporation? This is clearly just part of their plot.”
…
A wave of retaliation arose from the conference room, the majority of which were in support of Qian Jianhui and felt that the Wen Family was just talking crap to slander Qian Jianhui.
However, those that had doubts in the first place were weighing between the different views and simply looked upon the other shareholders while not participating in the discussion. Clearly, Wen Xinya’s words began to change their mind.
This was the result that Wen Xinya wanted.
Xia Ruya functioned very carefully without leaks, and the Korean-Chinese Alliance helped to cover her tracks. She could not find any evidence, but she did not need it, as she could move people’s hearts by just speaking the truth.
Not everybody amongst the shareholders supported Qian Jianhui.
Clearly, she had achieved her goals.
At that time, the discussion in the conference room peaked.
“Di, Di, Di—”
The phone rang, and the noise in the conference room momentarily stopped.
The corners of Wen Xinya’s lips curled as she answered the phone. “Miss Wen, we have received news from the police that Wen Corporation’s money-laundering investigation has finished and the Wen Corporation has been found not guilty. Old Mr. Wen is already released, and vice-chairman Xue has gone to pick him up. It’s estimated that he will reach Wen Corporation in twenty minutes.”
Everyone in the conference room suddenly went dead silent.
Qian Jianhui felt his body weaken and sat back onto his chair. His many years of planning and calculation were just about to be ruined by Old Mr. Wen’s release. He was clear that his opportunity this time was not only due to some of the shareholder’s unhappiness with the Wen Family but also because Wen Corporation lost their core when Old Mr. Wen went to the police station. Without him as a pillar of support, the shareholders were easily shaken.
Today, everything would change as Old Mr. Wen was now released.
Those that supported Qian Jianhui showed complicated expressions on their faces, and although many were unhappy with how Old Mr. Wen ran Wen Corporation, he had held control of Wen Corporation for so many years, and there was already fear within their hearts.
They were not so fearful when Old Mr. Wen was still at the police station.
However, he had already been released.
And he was about to come to the company.
Wen Xinya simply said, “Okay, I understand.”
Wen Xinya looked at everyone’s expression. She knew a couple of days ago from the commerce team that Grandpa was about to be released. When she met him last time, she had discussed with him that when he came out of the police station, they would deal with Qian Jianhui accordingly, together.
She was to go back and forth with Qian Jianhui so as to shake the Qian faction’s resolve.
Lanxin Corporation’s appearance was only the first step.
During the critical juncture, Grandpa would appear and instantaneously take down Qian faction.
And then, they would unexpectedly bring Qian Jianhui down.
This was to prevent Li Corporation from having any opportunities to meddle with them from within.
This would save them much trouble.
At this time, Wen Xinya’s gaze swept past the few who were undecided and just observed the other shareholders. Now, they seemed to have given up on Qian faction and were standing with the Wen faction now.
Wen faction’s support now exceeded that of the Qian faction.
The Qian faction was doomed to fail.
War strategies included making unexpected moves and attacking while the enemy was unprepared, and this was applicable to the business world as well.
Wen Xinya slowly leaned back into her seat and looked calmly at the others. “Chairman is rushing back now, everyone can take a break. If there’s anything you are unhappy with about the Wen Family, we can discuss it later.”
Nobody had any objections.
The shareholder’s meeting was supposed to have been chaired by the Chairman, and only because he was in the police station, Wen Xinya, who took over, represented the Wen Family to host the meeting.
Today, Old Mr. Wen was still the Chairman of Wen Corporation, and it was only right that he hosted the meeting.
