Chapter 1819: Xia Ruya Has More Tricks Up Her Sleeves

The investigation in the design department caused a huge commotion that spread to the entire corporation. Other than Cui Wenhao, over ten new and old employees were involved as well.

No one thought that just over two hours after the press release ended, the design department would have such a huge commotion.

Wen Xinya’s resolute methods shocked almost everybody.

At the same time, all of the Wen Corporation’s employees were monitoring their own department’s movements in fear of being implicated due to an investigation. However, after a day, other than the fashion department, all other departments carried on, as usual, with no news of any spies or restructuring. Everyone began to realize that probably only the design department had spies.

Everyone then became relieved and went back to work, doing what they needed to do.

The commotion in the design department only lasted for a moment and did not really affect the Wen Corporation.

However, what Wen Xinya said about killing a hundred innocent than letting go of one spy shocked everyone in the company.

Wen Xinya flipped through Liu Yanhua’s investigation report and frowned, “Cui Wenhao is indeed the spy arranged by Xia Ruya.”

Based on the report, Cui Wenhao entered the Wen Corporation about eleven years ago.

At that point, Cui Wenhao had lost his job for a couple of years and was on bad terms with his wife. When the opportunity arose, Xia Ruya arranged for him to enter the Wen Corporation, and he had a stable job which made his life better. Hence, he had always been grateful to Xia Ruya.

Four years ago, when Xia Ruya came back from Country M after her plastic surgery, she made use of Ning Shuqian to manipulate Wen Haowen and made Cui Wenhao a team leader, which made Cui Wenhao feel even more indebted to her.

Cui Wenhao was willing to be a pawn in this battle between Li Corporation and Wen Corporation and infiltrated the Wen Corporation to be Xia Ruya’s eyes.

Even Si Yiyan was surprised and frowned. “Xia Ruya has a way of manipulating people. It’s no wonder that you did not manage to find out who the spy in the design department was.”

Eleven years ago, when Xia Ruya arranged for Cui Wenhao to enter the Wen Corporation, it was only an act of kindness, she did not go out of her way to do it.

However, eleven years later, she could make use of an act of kindness from back then and manipulate Cui Wenhao to work for her. Her methods were clearly unique.

Wen Xinya said, “Cui Wenhao has been locked in the conference room for over three days, but refused to say anything. Till today, he refused to admit that he’s the spy, and the Wen Corporation has no record of him contacting Li Corporation. Liu Yanhua’s report only has his ties with Xia Ruya and cannot prove that Cui Wenhao is the spy.”

If so, then Wen Corporation could not take legal action on Cui Wenhao for leaking company documents and could not sue the Li Corporation for their illegal business methods.

She was treading on the edge of the law and had a lawyer restrict Cui Wenhao’s personal freedom. Today, Cui Wenhao had been locked for over three days, and if they continued it, it would become illegal imprisonment.

Naturally, the Wen Corporation would not put someone like Cui Wenhao in their eyes. However, if he tried to cause a commotion, it would be quite troublesome.

Si Yiyan asked, “So what do you plan to do next?”

Xinya was the type who would return an eye for an eye. For Xia Ruya to plot against the Wen Corporation and end up losing her own face, as well as for Cui Wenhao to betray Wen Corporation by leaking their designs were things that she could not forgive.

Even if she could not deal with Cui Wenhao with legal methods, she would use her own method to ruin his reputation.

Expectedly, Wen Xinya held onto the coffee table lightly and said, “I hate traitors the most. Cui Wenhao has been working in the Wen Corporation for over ten years and enjoyed a stable pay. Wen Corporation did not let him down in any way. Hence, we cannot let him go.”

Si Yiyan did not say a single thing, as someone like Cui Wenhao did not deserve his attention.

Wen Xinya continued, “Even if we cannot prove that Cui Wenhao is the spy, we can create vague pieces of evidence. After its release, we can make everyone clear that Cui Wenhao is Li Corporation’s spy, and that they used unethical competition methods.”

Police investigation needed evidence.

On the other hand, the media and the public did not. All they trusted was what they saw with their own eyes, and they only needed to capture that point to make them believe them. This could make Cui Wenhao and Li Corporation suffer.

Si Yiyan laughed. “If Cui Wenhao is known as a spy, then nobody will dare to hire him again. Li Corporation will avoid him as well to prevent themselves from getting into trouble with the Wen Corporation and the media, and soon, he will live a cruel reality where he can’t do anything to help himself.”

This was the worst kind of punishment for a person like Cui Wenhao.

Wen Xinya smiled and moved on, as Cui Wenhao was only just like an ant to her and did not deserve even more attention.

“Wen Corporation’s investigation caused such a huge commotion, but I bet you had another intention behind it!”

Others may not have known her intention, and may only treat it as an effort to eradicate all spies from the Wen Corporation.

However, Si Yiyan knew that she was not so shallow and managed to guess her intentions behind it.

Wen Xinya laughed. “I can’t hide anything from you. This investigation was blown up in order to make the other guilty employees in the company scared. Hence, within a short period of time, they will not do anything to cause trouble.

“On the other hand, I took this opportunity to restructure the fashion design department to fire any useless employees who are too old or drawing a salary for nothing. This can help the Wen Corporation streamline our processes and let more fresh talents join us.”

For this investigation, she did not plan to be soft-hearted. When she said she would rather kill a hundred innocent than let one culprit off, it was just to scare the department.

How could a small department like that have so many spies? For Cui Wenhao to be buried so deep, Xia Ruya must have put in quite a bit of effort.

“Xia Ruya prepared for a long time to deal with the Wen Corporation. They must have more up their sleeves. This time, Xia Ruya failed and allowed the Wen Corporation to retaliate so well, causing Li Corporation’s reputation to be ruined and the market share they gained all go to waste. Her careful calculations turned useless. Hence, she won’t just rest. We must be careful of her next move.”

What he did not say was that judging from the methods that Boya Pavilion took against the Wen Family, he could see that the Korean-Chinese Alliance and Xia Ruya had reached a consensus. Even if Boya Pavilion did not make any moves, they would still help Xia Ruya from the sidelines.
