Grandpa had not woken up since he became unconscious. The Wen Corporation had been suffering because of Wen Haowen’s falling reputation, and stock prices had dropped and hit rock bottom.
The board of directors panicked, and the shareholders could not be appeased anymore. Even the media continuously came up with wild guesses and suspected that the Wen Family was experiencing major shifts in roles and major conflicts. On top of that, Old Mr. Wen had not shown up to calm everyone down to date.
Seeing that the fact that grandpa was hospitalized could not be hidden any longer, Wen Haowen had tried to make things better by leaking Ning Shuqian’s videos and photos to shift everyone’s focus.
However, this issue still had to be resolved quickly.
Or else, grandpa’s situation would eventually be found out by the media.
Wen Xinya read some discussions online and closed the webpage.
She had complicated feelings. She thought of Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya’s schemes to film her and ruin her reputation, even making her pay with her life.
Yet, the same thing was now happening to Ning Shuqian. How would she feel?
Ning Yuya did drugs, Ning Shuqian’s pictures were revealed. In her previous life, they inflicted so much pain onto her, now she was slowly taking revenge on them.
She was also slowly accomplishing her revenge plan.
At this time, Liu Yanhua called.
“Wen Haowen will be holding a press conference the day after tomorrow, at the Wen Corporation’s meeting room located in the lobby. He invited many reporters from big-name news agencies, and he just announced this.”
Such a move by Wen Haowen had surprised Liu Yanhua.
In her knowledge, Wen Haowen was a man who was not able to take responsibility for his own actions. Now that this situation had been blown up, he did not even have time to hide. Why would he hold a press conference to face the media?
Wen Xinya’s face darkened, as she replied, “Looks like after going into hiding and being a cowardly turtle for so long, he is finally going to do something. It seems like I have underestimated him.”
A common man would not be able to understand Wen Haowen’s motives.
Even she did not think that Wen Haowen would make such a move.
Liu Yanhua asked blankly, “Why do you say this?”
Is there more to Wen Haowen holding a press conference?
Wen Xinya explained coldly, “He has been planning this for a while. At the start, he allowed Ning Shuqian to ruin his reputation and did not make a move. However, now that Ning Shuqian’s pictures are out, he suddenly decides to hold a press conference. It looks like he has been forced to do so now that he has run out of moves.”
Just like Lanxin Company and T-K Group’s merger.
Her very first tactic was to win by beating the weak.
Under the aggressive attack of the T-K Group where they made use of lowly price reduction strategies to compete, their eventual retreat showcased their weakness. However, people tended to feel more sympathy for local companies.
This made the T-K Group seem arrogant and domineering, angering the public and making them resent the Group.
Wen Haowen’s move was exactly to beat out the weak to win the war.
Liu Yanhua reacted quickly and replied, “A jerk like Wen Haowen looks like he is unwilling to take on responsibility for what he does, yet I never would have expected him to push the responsibility to someone else. He is indeed best at this.”
This move was a scheming one indeed.
It seemed as if his initial silence was on account of their long term relationship as husband and wife, and that he was unwilling to make things ugly. That way, he was also able to protect his image as a deeply sentimental man.
As a man, his reluctance to speak up seemed as if his dignity was hurt after being cuckolded. It seemed as if he was unbelievably embarrassed and humiliated, which made people sympathize with him more, and some even forgave his extramarital affair on account of that.
As a victim, after being cuckolded by his own wife, not only was he willing to be humiliated by his wife, he still silently acknowledged the power his wife had over him, making it seem as if Ning Shuqian was an unreasonable, domineering woman who was at fault, yet chose to push the blame onto others.
Because of his manipulativeness, Wen Haowen reached a new low in Liu Yanhua’s eyes.
Wen Xinya coldly said, “He thought this through. He even dared to hold a press conference at this time. Such a big issue cannot be resolved by a press conference.”
Wen Haowen only had three objectives in organizing a press conference.
Firstly, clear his name of what Ning Shuqian said about him.
Secondly, act like the victim, sue Ning Shuqian, and sever all ties with Ning Shuqian.
Thirdly, apologize to the media and obtain their sympathy.
This was similar to his apology during the cheating incident, yet its nature completely different. At that time, Wen Haowen could play the victim and push all the blame onto Yang Ziyu.
However, it was different this time around!
“You’re right. Although Ning Shuqian’s photos and videos were leaked, and everyone is disgusted by her, it does not mean that they will have sympathy for Wen Haowen. Most people will be able to tell that this is simply another move in their dogfight.”
If this situation was not handled properly, this would be a next-level dogfight.
The media was just a group of people who wished for the world to be in chaos.
“Wen Haowen made the wrong move this time around. Once the press conference starts, the Wen Corporation will suffer even greater losses.”
Wen Xinya massaged her temples.
Wen Haowen is truly incompetent. Everything he does fails and all he knows is to cause trouble for me.
“Now that Wen Haowen has played such tricks, what should we do? Should we stop him from holding the press conference?”
Liu Yanhua naturally also thought of this point and was not very happy.
Their plan could not be carried out because Old Mr. Wen was unconscious. Wen Haowen, this useless piece of trash. How dare he hide under a woman’s skirt and live his life as if nothing had happened, yet leave the Wen Corporation in chaos.
Wen Xinya did not hold many shares of the company and could not appease the major shareholders. To calm them down, she had been dealing with the directors and shareholders personally. If this continued, the fact that Old Mr. Wen was unconscious would be revealed. If that happens, the Wen Corporation would suffer severe losses.
“We can’t stop him. It seems like we will have to execute our plan even earlier than expected.”
With someone like Wen Haowen, who could stop him from doing what he wanted?
Furthermore, there was a whole group of media personnel involved in this. Who could stop this?
If Grandpa was awake, the Wen Corporation would not be in such a mess.
Upon thinking of Grandpa, Wen Xinya felt a tinge of sadness. Grandpa had been unconscious for half a month and there had been no signs of him regaining consciousness. The doctor said that the more time passed, the lower his chances of waking up.
