Chapter 1853 - Time May Not Tell

Eventually, Cleopatra was still sent over to Gu Yuexi by Si Yiyan. Although Wen Xinya couldn’t bear to, she still accepted this fact resignedly. Whenever she thought about how Cleopatra pulled its ears back, bit the edge of her shorts emotionally, and looked all pitiful as it refused to let go, she felt a sense of guilt towards it. Finally, it was only when she promised to visit it often that its spirits perked up slightly.

Wen Xinya was thinking of fetching Cleopatra back in a few days’ time.

However, it had to be done without Si Yiyan’s knowledge.

Wen Xinya wore a cream-colored business suit as she walked into the Wen Corporation building, looking all youthful, pretty, elegant, majestic, and capable. Sun Yichen followed close behind her.

“Good morning, Missy!”

“Good morning, Missy!”

The staff greeted her as she walked past, and Wen Xinya smiled back at all of them.

After Wen Corporation went through a restructuring and purging, Wen Xinya’s harsh and effective methods shook the entire corporation, making her influence rise greatly.

“Inform CEO Cao and Deputy CEO Xue to come to my office in ten minutes—I want to discuss something with them.” Wen Xinya instructed Sun Yichen clearly.

“Yes, Missy!” Sun Yichen replied.

However, beneath his hung face hid a resentful and angry expression. They were all similarly Wen Corporation’s deputy CEOs—why was Cao Zixing and Xue Yishan trusted greatly by Wen Xinya, yet he had to follow behind her all day and seemingly be demoted from the grand position of a deputy CEO to an assistant—how could he tolerate this?

Thinking about how recently, Wen Xinya had been ordering him around even more and treating him like a servant, Sun Yichen couldn’t help but hold his hands tightly in fists with a slightly twisted expression.

Wen Xinya glanced at the rather distracted Sun Yichen who was hanging his head and asked leisurely, “Deputy CEO Sun, you seem to be in low spirits. Didn’t sleep well last night?”

It was a very ordinary topic. As if she was simply concerned about her subordinate and was chatting with him.

Sun Yichen’s suddenly released the grip of his hands, gradually lifted his head, and sighed slightly. “It’s not that. It’s just that thinking about how Wen Corporation is currently plagued with crises, I’m rather worried.”

He looked honest and sincere, already unlike his resentful self just now, as if he genuinely worried about Wen Corporation’s future.

He was very confident in his acting skills because he had fooled Old Mr. Wen umpteen times.

Wen Xinya didn’t suspect the truthfulness of his words. She looked worried as well. “I only hope that Grandpa will be released from the police station as soon as possible and be back to take the helm at the Wen Corporation.”

Any sharp person would be able to tell that the Wen Corporation was in a crisis. Right now, only having Old Mr. Wen in charge could the issues be resolved.

A look of disdain flashed past Sun Yichen’s eyes as he said, “The innocent knows that they are innocent while those who aren’t would know it for themselves too. Wen Corporation didn’t partake in the money laundering case involving the entertainment city project, Old Mr. Wen will be released soon.”

Saying that, he hung his head to cover his sparkling eyes and ambitious expression.

Indeed, Old Mr. Wen would be released from the police station soon. However, come that time, things would have changed in the Wen Corporation as well and even Old Mr. Wen wouldn’t be able to undo the changes.

Wen Corporation suddenly asked, “Deputy CEO Sun, how long have you been in the Wen Corporation? When did you start to be under Grandpa?”

Sun Yichen had always been an able subordinate under Grandpa. Ever since Grandpa took over the Wen Corporation, he had trusted him greatly.

Sun Yichen was slightly stunned, not expecting her to suddenly ask about this, thought for a while, and replied, “Thinking back, I’ve already been in the Wen Corporation for twenty-odd years and have been working for Old Mr. Wen for almost nine years.”

A slur of emotions instantly overcame Sun Yichen.

Thinking about how Old Mr. Wen had trusted him so much in the past, for some reason, he felt awful.

Naturally, Wen Xinya wouldn’t know about the changes in his emotions and merely said in a low voice, “So… it’s already been so long!”

A long journey proved the stamina of a horse, but time might not tell a person’s sincerity.

Because people were fickle-minded!

“Under Li Corporation’s attacks, Wen Corporation’s scale has been reduced to a third, capabilities at least halved, and market occupancy less than a third. After this crisis, there were also some changes among the shareholders—here’s the detailed information.”

Cao Zixing was very worried about Wen Corporation’s future.

Old Mr. Wen was still being detained at the police station. The longer this went on, the more the negative impact on the Wen Corporation.

Wen Xinya received the documents, studied them carefully, and her expression gradually turned increasingly solemn. “Up till now, six shareholders have withdrawn their shares. These shareholders have held 15% of Wen Corporation’s shares, of which 10% was bought back by the Wen Family while the other 5% has been bought by Qian Jianhui.

“Qian Jianhui is a longtime shareholder who’s reputable among Wen Corporation’s shareholders. Now that he holds 15% of Wen Corporation’s shares, I’m afraid his influence among the shareholders will surpass mine.”

Ever since she stepped into the management of the Wen Corporation and interacted more with Qian Jianhui, she got to know that this person was cunning and slightly ambitious.

Now, Wen Corporation was in crisis and shareholders were all concerned about their own benefits and losses. At this juncture, Qian Jianhui actually spent a huge sum of money to buy back shares from withdrawing shareholders—obviously, he had ulterior motives.

Controlling the entire Wen Corporation, she was slightly overbearing in her ways and was a far cry from the astute Qian Jianhui among the shareholders. Moreover, he had been a shareholder of the Wen Corporation for many years and had built great connections—all the shareholders trusted him greatly.

Cao Zixing frowned slightly and said, “The top priority now is still to get Old Mr. Wen out as soon as possible.”

Although Missy was managing the entire Wen Corporation now, she couldn’t suppress those shareholders. Qian Jianhui was ambitious—if he wanted to stir things up, something was bound to happen sooner or later.

Mentioning this, Wen Xinya went silent. With the money laundering case involving the entertainment city project implicating more parties, the police took it very seriously. It seemed like Grandpa wouldn’t be out so soon.

“How’re the investigations regarding the leakage of the batch of clothing with quality issues?” Wen Xinya looked over at Xue Yishan.

Xue Yishan looked solemn. “It’s proceeding smoothly, we’ve already identified the related parties. However, I feel that there’s definitely more than meets the eye to this incident.”

Two people in the senior management were implicated. However, he felt that there was more to this incident, just that there were no more clues and they were unable to continue investigating.

Wen Xinya wasn’t surprised. She said plainly, “I know what to do. Just leave the rest to me!”

Xue Yishan and Cao Zixing left the office.

Wen Xinya dialed Sun Yichen’s extension number. “Get ready, I’m going to look for Chairman at the police station.”
