Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1690

Wen Xinya clearly overestimated Wen Haowen’s intelligence.

Wen Haowen was suspended from his post for investigation, and Wen Xinya was the interim CEO, who was using her power as the CEO to help run the Wen Corporation. This news was picked up by the media, and given that Wen Xinya had always been popular among the public, with a good reputation and image, she received approval from the masses. The moment this news was leaked out, Wen Corporation’s stock prices started recovering by leaps and bounds.

However, Wen Haowen was clearly unhappy about it.

Two days after the Board of Director’s meeting, he released a public statement, claiming that what happened between him and Ning Shuqian was all due to Wen Xinya, and he angrily accused Wen Xinya of planning to sabotage him.

He lamented about Wen Xinya wanting to acquire all of the Wen Corporation’s assets, which led to her sabotaging him while Old Mr. Wen was ill. This caused his reputation to be ruined and the Wen Family’s name to be tarnished as well, which badly affected the Wen Corporation.

He reproached Wen Xinya for being overly ambitious and called her ungrateful, claiming that the Wen Family treated her well and Old Mr. Wen took good care of her for nothing. He then hurtfully claimed that the only solution was to sever his fatherly ties with Wen Xinya and to chase her out of the family.

When this news was released, there was an uproar amongst the masses.

Following the slanders between the Wen Family couple, Ning Shuqian pressing charges against Wen Haowen, Ning Shuqian’s hysteria, Old Mr. Wen being admitted to the hospital, the Wen Family then came out with yet another shocking news—the father-daughter pair turning into enemies over family assets.

When Wen Xinya saw the news, she burst with anger. “Wen Haowen, this idiot!”

Grandpa was unconscious and Wen Haowen was suspended for investigation, so what rights did he even have to represent the Wen Family to chase her out? His announcement would only become the butt of the joke for the upper-class society.

Secretary Cao looked weirdly at her, as he never expected that Wen Haowen would make such a stupid move. “Wen Haowen, he thinks that by making such a statement he will be able to ruin your reputation, but he never thought of the effect that this news will have on himself.”

When the Wen Corporation was in a crisis, Miss Wen stepped up to deal with the situation for the shareholders and helped the corporation, which meant that her reputation was clean and positive right now.

On the other hand, Wen Haowen just had a major fight with Ning Shuqian, and in the storm of the court, they slandered each other and became the hot topic of discussion in the media. His reputation was ruined long ago, and no one trusted him anymore. In everyone’s eyes, he was nothing but a clown.

During the crisis that the Wen Corporation faced, he, firstly, did not come out to stabilize the situation, secondly, did not address the issue, and thirdly, did not solve the problem. This led to many within the Wen Corporation to not have any confidence and led to internal conflicts, causing even some shareholders to sell their stocks and the Wen Corporation to suffer. Regardless of whether it was the employees, the board of directors, or the shareholders, they were highly unsatisfied with and doubted him.

Today, after the uproar in the corporation calmed down, he brought up the issue of severing ties with his own daughter, which were theatrics of fighting over assets. Wen Corporation’s board of directors and shareholders could no longer stand his actions.

Wen Xinya massaged her forehead. “Wen Haowen is totally gone. The board of directors and the shareholders have no patience left for him anymore, and he will have no chance in their eyes already.”

The board of directors would indefinitely extend the investigation for Wen Haowen, and the shareholders would also continuously press for Wen Haowen’s investigation results.

Indeed, one wouldn’t die without seeking death! Clearly, he would not have been in such a situation if not for what he did.

Yet, he could not see it.

Grandpa was unconscious, and the shareholders were not able to make a decision on Wen Haowen yet. His suspension was only for the shareholders to let out their dissatisfaction and anger for Wen Haowen and was not a permanent solution.

Over some time, if Grandpa still did not wake up, such a temporary measure would not be able to solve the problem. Wen Haowen would still be able to come back if he did what was necessary.

Secretary Cao asked, “I heard that Wen Haowen wants to hold a press conference. What do we do next? Do we stop him?”

The saying that one should be more afraid of a stupid enemy than a great one, was absolutely relevant to this situation.

Wen Haowen’s actions were a total embarrassment, and yet he did not realize it. In front of the media, he was still so active and happy, no one would bear to even look at him.

“Did the corporation’s share price get affected by this news?” Wen Xinya asked instead of answering the question.

Secretary Cao shook his head. “No, the share prices are still steadily returning back to usual.”

He kind of understood what Missy meant.

“Then let him do what he wants! Let him have his own show. Once he’s tired of it, he will stop. To treat Wen Haowen seriously would be to take things for real, and the theatrics of this father-daughter fight would embarrass everyone. The Wen Family can’t afford it, either.”

Wen Xinya said helplessly.

After the issue with Ning Shuqian, everyone’s opinion about Wen Haowen changed. To everyone, his actions today were just a repeat of his fight with Ning Shuqian at the start and were just slanders and insults meant to damage the other party’s reputation.

Only this time, his enemy was not Ning Shuqian, but his own daughter.

To add on, Wen Haowen had already been suspended, and he was no longer able to participate in the running and decision-making of the Wen Corporation. His actions would no longer affect the Wen Corporation.

Secretary Cao sighed softly. “I really hope that Old Mr. Wen wakes up quickly. Now, only he can deal with Wen Haowen properly.”

It was not that Miss Wen did not want to stop Wen Haowen, as Wen Haowen had already become such a huge embarrassment. Wen Family’s reputation had also been tarnished, but at this point, no one could really stop Wen Haowen from sending himself to his own grave.

Talking about Grandpa, Wen Xinya’s face sunk. “I found international renowned experts to diagnose grandpa’s conditions, but there have been no results yet. I really hope that they have a way to let Grandpa wake up quickly.”

Grandpa had been unconscious for almost a month and showed no signs of waking up. The hospital did not have much hope for him awakening as well, and this led to Wen Xinya being extremely worried.

Wen Corporation’s situation today could only be supported by her temporarily. If Grandpa never woke up, she would not be able to run the show indefinitely.

Secretary Cao frowned slightly. “The media has already found out about Old Mr. Wen’s hospitalization and they have been making many speculations about his condition. Particularly negative ones. I worry that if this goes on, Old Mr. Wen’s coma can no longer be hidden from the public.”

Although Missy managed to calm down the situation in the Wen Corporation for now, the crisis the corporation was facing could not be solved if Old Mr. Wen never woke up.

Wen Xinya softly said, “Now, we can only take things step by step.”

She was clear that the media had been reporting much pessimistic news on Grandpa’s conditions, and it was likely that it was Xia Ruya who had been fueling the flame about this issue.

After Ning Shuqian’s hysteria condition was revealed, the court withdrew her charges. The fact that Xia Ruya failed in her plans to cause a major uproar between the Wen Family couple meant that she would definitely find another chance to bring the Wen Corporation down.

Grandpa’s condition could be hidden from everyone, but Xia Ruya would definitely know the truth.

The fact that she attacked the Wen Corporation through Grandpa’s condition was just as expected.

As for her, by exposing Grandpa’s condition to the public, was also to further incite Xia Ruya to take action and to expose her.
