After the shareholders meeting ended, the inspectors of industry and commerce arrived. A reporter accompanied them and was personally received by Wen Xinya along with Cao Zixing.
When the inspectors and the reporter registered their names in the list of personnel, Si Yiyan intervened and checked their backgrounds, ensuring that there was no problem with any of them. As such, she was able to do this fearlessly.
Also, the way the Wen Corporation dealt with the allegations of money laundering had been spread by the media and netizens such that everybody knew about it.
Wen Xinya’s fans excitedly praised and supported her.
They believed that Wen Xinya was bold and magnificent, befitting of the name Queen.
The upper-class society was also paying close attention to Wen Xinya’s every move.
There were people who thought that Wen Xinya was arrogant, some who admired her charisma and foresight, and others who scoffed at her thinking that she was leading the Wen Corporation to a dead-end…
However, even so, Wen Xinya did not have a way to save the Wen Corporation from ruin.
Wen Xinya rubbed her painful head.
“Migraine?” Any normal person would not be able to last a few days continuously in this high-intensity job, much less Wen Xinya, who had been pampered and spoiled by him.
Wen Xinya acknowledged listlessly.
“Let me massage it for you.”
Si Yiyan’s heart ached. He held her by the shoulders and let her lie between his legs. His long slender fingers began to slowly massaged the acupoints on her head.
As Wen Xinya laid on Si Yiyan’s lap, she closed her eyes and said, “I feel like I’ve been set up by Grandpa. If I had known this earlier, I would’ve chosen to be the one in the police station.”
It had been a full three days since the allegations of money laundering towards the Wen Corporation began. Over the past three days, Wen Xinya had been overwhelmed with concerns. She had to manage the overall situation in the Wen Corporation and calm everybody down, deal with the difficult shareholders and appease them, cope with the media’s interference every now and then, take care of the investigations by the police and inspectors…
There were all sorts of issues, and during this critical moment, she had to deal with them all personally.
In these three days, she had held over a dozen meetings.
However, Wen Corporation was still painted negatively by the media and news on the internet.
Si Yiyan smiled. “Do you think you can enter the police station just because you want to?”
Even if she really volunteered to be in the police station in Old Mr. Wen’s stead, he would have stopped her.
Wen Xinya pouted, clearly sulking. “This burden is bigger than I had expected.”
Grandpa handed over the Wen Corporation to her, and this was the first time she felt like she was struggling.
Si Yiyan understood that she was facing immense pressure. He said softly, “Don’t stress yourself out, you’ve already done well.”
With his massages, Wen Xinya’s stiff body began to relax. “This is the biggest crisis the Wen Corporation is facing since its establishment. In the past, I fearing nothing since Grandpa was around no matter what happened. Now that Grandpa is not here at the chairman’s seat, I always feel so lost. With Grandpa in the police station, Wen Corporation has lost its backbone. Not only that, I feel like I’ve lost mine as well.”
Si Yiyan’s massage technique was perfect, and Wen Xinya let out a comfortable sigh.
At the same time, she praised herself inside for being able to find such a gentle and caring man.
“Even if your grandpa is here, he will not be able to handle things as well as you. Although it seems as if your actions now are not able to save the Wen Corporation, but in the future when the corporation is cleared of all allegations, the trust and faith of the people will still remain. This is the greatest asset of the Wen Corporation, and you have more foresight than anybody else.”
Back when Wen Xinya told him that she was allowing the industry and commerce inspectors in and getting the media involved on top of that, even Si Yiyan, who had years of experience in the business, was shocked.
He was shocked by her boldness.
In this money laundering incident, the damage done to the Wen Corporation was irreversible. In addition, they had to deal with the attacks from Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan, backing them into a corner.
It was a dead end.
He had originally planned on investing in the Wen Corporation and funding them so that its foundation would not be destroyed.
However, she was more farsighted than he had imagined. She sacrificed the knights to save the queen and saw a larger picture.
Wen Corporation would be cleared of all allegations sooner or later. However, she did not just sit still and wait for the results of the investigations. Instead, she made the first move. This required a lot of courage.
“As of now, the thing I’m most worried about is the internal affairs of the Wen Corporation. Since not long after the fashion press release, we’ve already been searching for the traitors in the company. Now, we have our eyes set on them. However, the corporation is caught up in a crisis and suspected of money laundering. Everybody in the company is panicking and uneasy. I’m afraid that those traitors will take the opportunity to put the corporation in chaos and destroy it from inside out.”
Normally, they could slowly investigate the traitors in the company and it would have no impact on the Wen Corporation. However, now that the corporation was caught up in money laundering allegations, any problems with the internal affairs would be lethal to the company. This was the biggest danger faced by the Wen Corporation now.
If the Wen Corporation really were to be sent into chaos, their attempts to find the traitors would be obstructed as well.
Si Yiyan said, “Xinya, a harsh method is needed in troubled times.”
Now, Wen Corporation was facing troubles both internally and externally. They would have to solve the problems from the inside first before they could deal with the attacks from outside, this was a universal rule.
Wen Xinya’s expression turned serious and her eyes went cold. “Seems like we’ll have to quickly deal with the traitors. We can’t let this drag on any more.”
She had the same viewpoint as Si Yiyan.
Wen Corporation’s overall situation was unstable, and the people were in turmoil. At this time, only harsh and strict enforcements would be able to put the entire Wen Corporation under control. They had to speed up their process in finding the traitors. It was better to kill off a hundred innocent men than let a criminal escape.
“Next up, Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya will be sparing no effort in attacking the Wen Corporation. You have to be mentally prepared.”
The issue of money laundering was just the beginning.
After this, it would then be the darkest days of the Wen Corporation. For a long period of time, Wen Corporation would be receiving attacks from all sides.
Wen Xinya scoffed. “When the water rises we use the earth to keep it back; when the soldiers arrive we use a general to keep them off. Wen Corporation will not let them devour us without a fight.”
In the past, when Haowen managed the Wen Corporation, he did not make any great accomplishments for years. Grandpa then secretly transferred some of the Wen Corporation’s operations elsewhere. Other than Grandpa and Cao Zixing, nobody else knew about this.
Later on, when Grandpa found out that the Korean-Chinese Alliance was plotting against the Wen Family, he moved even more of the operations outside while battling against them over the years. Now, these operations had accumulated to a large scale.
These operations preserved some of the Wen Corporation’s foundation.
She believed that Xia Ruya would never figure this out.
