Chapter 1325: The Old Man Must Be out of His Mind!
Ning Shuqian, too, was exasperated. She knew better than everyone else that Wen Xinya had merely brought up the idea of selling it as an heirloom in a moment of recklessness. She acted presumptuously. Who was Wen Xinya? How dare she oppose to the shareholders and openly announce her decision?
She initially thought that Old Mr. Wen would be displeased with Wen Xinya for putting the Wen Corporation’s interests at risk.
She was waiting for Wen Xinya to make a fool out of herself and become a laughing stock.
She thought, Wen Xinya deserves to reap what she sowed. She can’t blame anyone else for it, either. It’s time she gets a taste of failure. She keeps acting brazenly and getting her way just because she has Old Mr. Wen to support her.
However, Ning Shuqian did not expect Old Mr. Wen to support Wen Xinya.
The old man must be out of his mind!
Wen Xinya is clearly challenging his authority as the chairman of the Wen Corporation.
Ning Shuqian was dumbfounded.
A petulant expression formed on Wen Haowen’s face and he glowered at Old Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya as they made their way down the runway and got surrounded by reporters, who frantically interviewed them. They smiled and answered the questions tactfully.
Wen Haowen wished he could dash forth and question Old Mr. Wen for his decision.
Recalling all the events that Wen Xinya had attended ever since she reunited with the Wen Family, Wen Haowen noticed that she seemed to have always created some sort of trouble that he could never prevent.
After the reporters backed away, Wen Haowen darted towards them and hollered angrily. “Father, I don’t agree with what Xinya has suggested. As the CEO of the Wen Corporation, I’m going to oppose it on behalf of the shareholders.”
Wen Xinya was clearly just trying to honor Mo Yunyao and, since she was Mo Yunyao’s only daughter, everyone would obviously shift their attention to her. Only then would the shareholders remember Mo Yunyao’s contributions to the Wen Corporation, stabilizing Wen Xinya’s position.
It was not a good thing for Wen Haowen.
Old Mr. Wen said, “Xinya’s proposal is excellent. She has proposed the sales strategy in her mother’s name and, not only will she be promoting Yunyao’s legacy to the top luxurious jewelry collection in the world, she will also be helping the Wen Corporation make massive profits. At the same time, the strategy will be giving us more fame and reputation. This suggestion is a win-win proposal for the Wen Corporation. Why are you opposed to it?”
He had long expected that Wen Haowen would oppose the proposal. Even the shareholders had consented by remaining silent. Hence, it was too late for Wen Haowen to oppose now.
Despite being at a loss for words, Wen Haowen still felt indignant. “Even if this proposal would bring about profits to the Wen Corporation, how can we casually decide on this without discussing it with the shareholders and directors? Father... you’re not the only person who calls the shots in the Wen Corporation.”
The sales strategy was for remembrance of Mo Yunyao and a token of their gratitude towards Mo Yunyao, who had put in plenty of effort into the Wen Corporation. Although Wen Haowen could not deny that it was very profitable, he could not allow Old Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya to get what they wanted.
Old Mr. Wen sneered. “Why would the shareholders and directors oppose to a profitable proposal? They didn’t voice their objections just now, did they? I’m not the only one who calls the shots, but you don’t have the final say either. You can’t just stop the proposal because you oppose to it.”
Old Mr. Wen was well aware of what Wen Haowen’s intentions were. He chose not to expose him, only because Wen Haowen was still his son at the end of the day.
Wen Haowen said with a sullen expression, “Father, what are you saying? Since when did you and Wen Xinya give us the chance to voice our opinions? You two were rattling on and on.”
He admitted that the shareholders respected Old Mr. Wen’s decisions more than they respected his, but that did not mean that he did not have a way to stop them.
Old Mr. Wen could not be bothered to speak to him any longer. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the runway.
At this moment, Wen Xinya’s designs were on display. Although they could not hold a candle to Mo Yunyao’s, they were still approved by many.
Most importantly, she was only 21 years old!
Infuriated at the fact that he did not get a response, Wen Haowen hollered. “Father, did you even hear what I said? Are you just going to indulge Xinya? Since when have you listened to this greenhorn blindly and done her bidding? Father... are you really old and muddled up?”
He was trying to provoke and reprimand Old Mr. Wen.
Staring at the disgusting and greedy Wen Haowen coldly, Old Mr. Wen chastised. “You have to ask yourself that question. If you weren’t so shameless as to take Xinya’s mother’s designs and caused such a commotion, would Xinya have suggested this proposal so as to defend her mother’s pride and save the Wen Family from embarrassment?”
Wen Haowen was being disrespectful towards his former spouse by defending Ning Shuqian and making things hard for Wen Xinya. He was also showing how heartless he was to his daughter and wife, both of whom had contributed greatly to the Wen Corporation.
It would seem like the Wen Family was making use of Mo Yunyao’s reputation to hold the exhibition and was indulging their son’s mistress who had humiliated Mo Yunyao and Wen Xinya. What would others think of the Wen Family?
The Wen Family would be seen as heartless.
Unfortunately, Wen Haowen did not realize that and retorted angrily. “It’s just a set of jewelry, isn’t it? If Wen Xinya wasn’t so overbearing, things wouldn’t have ended up like this. It’s all that bastard’s fault.”
Old Mr. Wen turned pale in exasperation and suddenly clenched his fists. He raised them slightly before putting them down again. “How did I give birth to such a heartless thing like you?”
If it wasn’t because of his rationality, he would have slapped Wen Haowen.
