Wen Corporation was once again entrenched in a crisis of trust, where its brand image was severely affected.
Wen Corporation reacted quickly and managed to remove all of the clothes that had quality issues and destroyed all of it in front of the media.
At the same time, Wen Corporation’s public relations department made a public apology.
Although such a move solved the root of the problem, the masses did not trust Wen Corporation. They believed they were in the midst of a financial crisis, which was why they made low-quality clothing to sell in places far away from the city. However, after it was exposed, they had to put on a show to the masses by destroying it.
The people no longer trusted Wen Corporation.
However, Wen Corporation suddenly had a turmoil amongst the executives, where many of its core members and directors were kicked off. This caused a commotion.
Wen Corporation tried to keep this all under wraps.
However, the journalists were still able to dig out that these few directors had relations with Li Corporation, and that the sale of low-quality goods was related to these people.
Although that cleared Wen Corporation of any suspicions of simply putting on a show, the trust and brand image that they lost could never be fully recovered.
Wen Xinya was currently looking through documents when the telephone in her office rang. It was her secretary. “Miss Wen, someone named Mr. Xu Zhenyu is looking for you.”
Xu Family was a famous family, and their second son Xu Zhenyu was well-known. It was no secret that there were ties between Miss Wen and Xu Zhenyu.
Therefore, when her secretary knew that Xu Zhenyu came without an appointment, she informed Wen Xinya immediately.
Wen Xinya paused for a moment, then smiled. “Invite him up!”
She never thought that Xu Zhenyu would do this, as all he needed to do was to phone her and she would meet him regardless of how busy she was. Yet, he came personally to the Wen Corporation.
Wen Xinya slowly closed the documents in front of her and called her assistant Xiao Yang. “Two cups of tea please, a Biluochun and a Tieguanyin.”
She had no idea what was going on with Xu Zhenyu over the past two years, as he began to appreciate tea, and particularly liked Tieguanyin. She had a few high-quality Tieguanyin leaves that were almost all taken by him.
Soon, there was a knocking sound on the door.
Afterward, her secretary then led Xu Zhenyu into the office.
Wen Xinya slowly stood up from her seat. “Xu’er, what are you doing here?”
What could not be solved by a private meeting that he had to come personally to the Wen Corporation?
Xu Zhenyu laughed. “I’m just here to feel how you, as Chairmen Wen, feel.”
Afterward, he then walked one round around Wen Xinya and looked at her classy, tailored officewear, exuding the airs of an elegant professional, and mocked her with a whistle.
He rarely saw Wen Xinya like that.
Wen Xinya glared at him. “Silly!” Then, she looked at him with the sideways. “How could us commoners match up to Colonel Xu? There’s a phrase that goes: don’t mess with officials.”
Xu Zhenyu had a bright future in the military and had many accomplishments in the army. He was a distinguished colonel, and he had always been really hardworking. Within a year, he spent most of his time on missions, and once he had more achievements, he would only be waiting to become a general.
Talking about status, Xu Zhenyu was a leader of over a thousand soldiers and led many men.
Xu Zhenyu choked. A good man would not bicker with a woman, and he thus decided not to pit his wits against her. “So this is where you work! Looks really large and luxurious.”
This was Xu Zhenyu’s first time coming to the Wen Corporation, and he was also extremely interested in Wen Xinya’s office. He looked everywhere earnestly, occasionally commenting and complimenting.
Wen Xinya thought that it was funny.
Xu Zhenyu, who was about to turn thirty, was still single, and recently, she had not heard any news about the Xu Family arranging blind dates for him. He lived in an army camp for the better part of the year and treated the army as his family. He had been spending more and more time going out on missions and had been getting busier. She barely saw him a few times in a year, but they connected through the phone often.
Aging seemed to be going well for Xu Zhenyu.
The tough life of being in the military trained him to become a righteous, hardened and tough soldier, and he radiated the impressive and domineering aura of someone who had been through countless missions and operations.
He seemingly never changed out of his uniform. Now, he was finally willing to take it off and change out into some slacks and a shirt. Yet, he still looked calm and towering, showing off his identity as an outstanding soldier.
At that moment, assistant Xiao Yang delivered tea in.
This was when Xu Zhenyu sat down on the sofa with Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya looked at Xu Zhenyu, who was busy sampling the tea, frowned. “Say, why did you especially come to the Wen Corporation to look for me?”
Xu Zhenyu would not come for no reason at all.
Xu Zhenyu unhappily said, “Why can’t I find you for no particular reason?”
Then, he acted as if he was really hurt by what she said.
Wen Xinya snorted. It was lucky that she had already swallowed her sip of tea, or she would probably end up spitting it all over him.
Xu Zhenyu did not want to mess around anymore and simply said, “Lady, I really don’t have any motives in looking for you today, all I wanted to do was to ask whether you needed my help.”
Xu Family was a typical military government family and did not interfere much in business, so he could not help Wen Xinya with much.
Wen Xinya laughed. “I can handle the Wen Corporation’s issues for now. If I really need your help one day, I will not hesitate to ask, so don’t worry.”
Xu Zhenyu had only been back from his mission for fewer than two days, and the fact that he could remember about her made her really thankful.
Although they were not as dependent on each other as they were in their past lives, there was still a strong chemistry between the two of them.
Hearing her say that, Xu Zhenyu let go of his worries. “Girl, I knew it.”
Afterward, Xu Zhenyu felt a little bitter.
Till today, he could not figure out whether the dream he had back then was real, or really just a dream.
If it was real, then what happened in his dream was totally different from what was happening now.
If it was only a dream, then why were the plots and conspiracies from Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian against Xinya so real?
Wen Xinya laughed while drinking her tea. “It’s rare for us to meet, let’s go for a meal!”
Xu Zhenyu looked at the huge pile of documents on her table and asked, “Won’t it affect your work?”
Wen Xinya shook her head. “I can do my work anytime.”
Xu Zhenyu naturally had no other opinion about it.
