Chapter 1786: A Queen’s Authority Is Not to Be Challenged
Wen Xinya’s conflict with Miss Su during the Heiress’ Gala was the icing on the cake for the event. The Heiress’ Gala had been rather lackluster over the past few years, but the incident garnered much public attention on the event once again.
Of course, most of the attention was on Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya was an extremely gifted talent. That was undeniable.
“Did you all notice that the cheongsam worn by Miss Wen was made using one of the top three brocade material in Country Z. Her jewelry set comprised of pearls from the northern region—which have a golden tinge and luminous glow. She looked absolutely stunning and elegant. Without us realizing it, Miss Wen has completed her metamorphosis into a Queen!”
“In this world, there are always those who behave arrogantly just because they think they have some talent. Those ignorant bitches dare to challenge a Queen—they have no idea what’s good for them and deserve to be taught a lesson!”
“The Queen has once again proved with her actions that those who dare challenge her would end up falling flat on their faces! It is a warning to all those bitches who are scheming to overtake her: A Queen’s authority is not to be challenged!”
“A Queen’s authority is not to be challenged+1!”
...
“Does the owner of the Boya Pavilion have something against the Queen? She actually invited the Queen to be on the judging panel, and Miss Su challenged her on the spot, in a complete show of disrespect to the authority of a judge. Shouldn’t the owner of the Boya Pavilion have said something? Was it really right of her to have remained passively by the side?”
“The Heiress’ Gala is truly going downhill. It used to be an event for the heiresses of upper society to display their talents—when did it turn into just another opportunity for some scheming bitches to try and finagle their way into the royal palace?”
“I am truly disappointed with the Heiress’ Gala. In the past, there were the malicious machinations of Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya, and now there is this arrogant Miss Su, who dared to challenge a judge right in public. Could it be that this Heiress’ Gala held by the Boya Pavilion only favors family status, but pays no heed to the character?”
“If all this Heiress’ Gala does is to encourage such disgusting publicity-seeking little antics, then I don’t think there is any real value in continuing this event. They should stop it before they end up desecrating our future generations.”
“The Boya Pavilion is so contemptible. The Heiress’ Gala is just as deplorable!”
...
A lively debate was ignited on the internet regarding the Heiress’ Gala. The Boya Pavilion and the gala also made multiple headline news, and Wen Xinya’s reputation continued to rise.
It went beyond everyone’s expectations.
Even Xia Ruya never thought that the crafty and manipulative Boya Pavilion owner would end up miscalculating so badly. Conflicting emotions surfaced on her face.
Chu Jingnan commented woefully. “It looks like the great Boya Pavilion owner, who was once hailed as one of the grand beauties of Capital city, is not a match for Wen Xinya, one-half of the new Capital city’s Dynamic Duo.”
Time was indeed merciless to everyone. It had eroded the Boya Pavilion owner’s once illustrious name. She now lived under the shadows of Wen Xinya and was no match for Wen Xinya’s glory.
Xia Ruya clenched her hands into tight fists. “What Capital city’s Dynamic Duo? It is only because the Boya Pavilion owner decided to favor her that Wen Xinya has her current reputation. What right does she have to be compared to the Boya Pavilion owner?”
Xia Ruya never expected that six years later, Wen Xinya would once again shine at the Heiress’ Gala.
At this moment, Xia Ruya was just looking at her computer, where someone had dug out her Heiress’ Gala scandal which happened six years ago. The online comments on her scandal were scornful and vicious. All sense of rationality and calm flew out of Xia Ruya’s mind.
If not for Wen Xinya, would she have suffered such indignity? Would she have ended up on the Boya Pavilion’s ban list?
Chu Jingnan noticed the change in her expression and so didn’t continue pursuing the topic.
Xia Ruya gritted her teeth and muttered bitterly. “The Boya Pavilion holds a very high status in Capital city. The owner herself is someone well-respected and greatly admired. Wen Xinya must be behind all those online criticisms against the Boya Pavilion. She was angry about being tricked by the Boya Pavilion, and so made use of her online fans to besmear the names of the Boya Pavilion and the Heiress’ Gala. Wen Xinya is a despicable bitch.”
She was well aware of just how wide Wen Xinya’s online fan base was.
Wen Xinya’s dazzling aura was a contrast to her own shadowy existence.
As a result of Wen Xinya’s plotting, she was now without any status in Capital city. Even today, she did not dare to appear in public without any good reason.
Hatred filled her heart.
Everything that Wen Xinya had now should have been hers!
Chu Jingnan didn’t comment on that but calmly changed the subject. “I have just become the CEO of the Xiao Corporation and have yet to stabilize my position in the company. Isn’t it too impulsive to launch our plan against the Wen Corporation now?”
Only after taking on the position of CEO did Chu Jingnan realize just how deep the troubles ran within the Xiao Corporation.
The shareholders, board of directors and the Xiao Family formed a tripartite.
The shareholders were always interfering in the management of the company for their own personal gain. The Xiao Family had no control over them at all.
Meanwhile, the board of directors held great sway over the inner management of the company. And the Xiao Family also had very little authority over the board.
These were deep-rooted issues that had accumulated over many years. They would not be so easily resolved.
Even with his current position and the Xiao Family backing him, it would not be easy to suppress the board of directors and increase his control over the shareholders.
“Now is the perfect time. The Wen Corporation suffered major damage after Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian’s scandal and has yet to recover. Meanwhile, the Boya Pavilion owner is making use of the Wen Family to stir up Capital city. It may seem like the Wen Family is basking in the warm sun now, but they are already treading on thin ice. Most importantly, I have a lethal weapon just waiting to be used against the Wen Family.”
The owner of Boya Pavilion held nefarious intentions against the Wen Family. That cotton purse alone was proof.
Now that the Boya Pavilion owner had made the first strike, there was no reason for them to lag behind.
“I just feel that we should be more cautious. Wen Xinya is not that easy to deal with.” Chu Jingnan had always been a meticulous and conscientious person. Although he agreed with Xia Ruya’s words, he remained highly guarded.
Xia Ruya understood his worries. “You currently have 10% of the Xiao Corporation’s shares, plus the 49% held by the Xiao Family—this is enough for you to command the entire company. With the combined power of the Xiao and Li Families, is there any need to fear the Wen Corporation? As for the problems with the shareholders and the board of directors, don’t worry, I will help you gradually gain full control over the whole Xiao Corporation.”
Xia Ruya was so confident because Mr. Z had promised to help her deal with the Wen Corporation, and the Boya Pavilion owner was likewise aggressively eyeing the Wen Family. Meanwhile, Xia Ruya also held a trump card in her hands.
These three reasons made Xia Ruya fully confident of defeating the Wen Corporation.
Chu Jingnan nodded. He knew Xia Ruya was a very deliberate and scheming person and was not someone who was given to rash acts. She must have additional bargaining chips on hand to be so certain.
