Everyone fell silent.
Old Mr. Wen was seated on the main seat with both hands on his cane, appearing extremely austere and dominant.
Wen Haowen grimaced with a sullen expression, overwhelmed with frustration. He was just like a ferocious beast which could not control its anger. He could not keep his composure at all and was too angry to care about the fact that he was the CEO and major shareholder of the Wen Corporation. He possessed power and authority. Yet, he was still so incompetent and even tried to undermine others.
On the other hand, Wen Xinya remained calm and composed while exuding an elegant and posh aura. She looked much more confident and assertive compared to Wen Haowen, despite the fact that she did not have the advantage of having a trump card. All she had was confidence.
Everyone could tell who the better one was.
One could only control everything by being confident.
Wen Haowen had already lost this round.
Xinya has already gained the upper hand.
Glaring at her with bloodshot eyes, Wen Haowen hollered. “Wen Xinya, you may be my daughter, but if you can’t give us a reasonable explanation today, I won’t hesitate to request the shareholders to strip you of your rights to attend board meetings.”
Wen Haowen glared daggers at her in a threatening manner. He was very confident of the entertainment city project and even the shareholders were pleased with it. He refused to believe that Wen Xinya had substantial evidence to support her claim.
Wen Xinya is just making the last struggle before death!
Since she’s asking for death, I won’t stop her.
She only has herself to blame for overestimating her own abilities and going against me.
Wen Xinya pursed her lips.
However, Wen Haowen thought that she had become timid. He glared at her and questioned, “Wen Xinya, what do you have to say?”
Wen Xinya said calmly, “As the successor of the Wen Corporation, I definitely have to prioritize the Wen Corporation’s and shareholders’ interests. I’m just doing what I ought to do. How you’re going to punish me and what the directors think of this are not my focus.”
The shareholders were impressed by Wen Xinya’s stand about prioritizing the Wen Corporation’s interests over everything else.
They then thought about how Wen Xinya suggested the setup of a sister company out of protecting the Wen Corporation’s interests, after which they felt rather pleased with her.
Wen Haowen did not discover the change in the shareholders’ attitude and instead, continued to glower at Wen Xinya while seething with exasperation. “Fine, since you insist on stopping this project from proceeding, there’s nothing else I have to say. However, if you can’t convince us with the evidence that you have, I’ll definitely gather all the shareholders to file a joint complaint against you and sanction you for intentionally jeopardizing a board meeting. By then…” He paused and glanced at Old Mr. Wen before continuing, “Even your grandpa can’t save you.”
Wen Haowen sounded extremely smug and haughty. He believed that it would be difficult for Wen Xinya to make a comeback if her evidence was proven to be insignificant, for all of the shareholders were there to witness everything and even Old Mr. Wen wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Since Wen Xinya is asking for death, she shouldn’t blame me for being cruel towards her.
She has herself to blame for being so insensible as to meddle with the shareholders’ decision.
Old Mr. Wen knocked his cane against the ground with a loud thud and hollered. “Enough! Don’t get up to these mind tricks in front of me. Why did you drag me into this? The shareholders are here to witness everything. We’re all concerned about the interests of the corporation and the shareholders. We’ll find out the truth in due time.”
He discovered that he had truly belittled his son. Wen Haowen had expressed his anger all because of the scheme that he had devised. No one could compare to him in terms of slyness.
Wen Haowen’s conniving thoughts were exposed and he began to feel a little embarrassed. “Chairman, you’re right.”
A deafening silence filled the air in the conference room where all the shareholders were waiting to see a good show. They would not be at a loss regardless of intense the conflict became.
Wen Xinya smiled calmly and maintained her composure regardless of how oppressing and overbearing Wen Haowen was.
“Before this, I’ve been meticulously researching about the entertainment city and scrutinizing the proposal. I can’t help but admit that this proposal is indeed very perfect and it does seem to be a lucrative business.”
Upon hearing Wen Xinya’s words, Wen Haowen looked even smugger and he thought to himself, Even Wen Xinya has already said that. I shall see what else she can get up to.
Wen Xinya continued, “However, I have to chat with the shareholders today about the funds to be invested.”
Wen Xinya cut straight to the chase and hit the nail on the head. The invested funds were indeed what everyone was paying attention to.
We Xinya stood up slowly, her gray suit making her look slim, mature and formidable, so much that it would be easy to forget her true age.
Wen Xinya said, “I read the fund approval request for the entertainment city project and, after some investigation, I found that the budget doesn’t seem to be accurate.”
Wen Haowen’s words made Wen Haowen turn pale. “Wen Xinya, you…”
Old Mr. Wen glared daggers at Wen Haowen, who quickly kept quiet reluctantly and indignantly.
Wen Xinya stared at Wen Haowen calmly before continuing, “Ever since the proposal of the entertainment city was raised, I began to check up on the entertainment industry of the city and I found out that Jiayuan Club and the Gu Family are the giants in this industry. Thanks to Gu Junling, the successor of the Gu Family, I managed to obtain the budget plan for one of Jiayuan Club’s past projects. I’ve compared that budget plan to that of the entertainment city’s and drafted a concise report about the future investments needed. Dear shareholders, please take a look.”
As soon as Wen Xinya finished speaking, Secretary Cao had already distributed the documents to the shareholders.
