Wen Haowen’s reputation seemed to have cleared on the second day, thanks to the media who painted a better picture of him, though it was perhaps due to Ling Qingxuan’s communication with the reporters. Although it was not obvious, the public did not know the actual truth and would believe everything that the media said.
The reporters had always enjoyed making huge issues out of everything and thwarting facts. The articles written by them were the deciding factor of the truth and they held the power of sending one to Heaven or Hell without much effort.
Having encountered them several times in her previous lifetime, she understood their power.
Wen Xinya put the newspapers away and smiled.
Old Mr. Wen also put the newspapers down and gazed at her. Seemingly influenced by her happiness, he also became happy. “Secretary Cao just called to say that the Wen Corporation’s stock prices seem to have stopped declining so tremendously ever since yesterday.”
Unable to contain her joy, Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Seems like the method that I used, really worked.”
Her solution was to push Yang Ziyu to the media. However, it would be easy for the media to find faults with it if the plan were to go wrong. However, Old Mr. Wen was quick to act and everything proceeded according to plan. In fact... the results were rather shocking too.
Old Mr. Wen smiled and said, “Xinya, you deserve credit for helping the Wen Family tide through the ordeal this time and salvaging our reputation and pride.”
They had managed to make Yang Ziyu take the rap in time because Wen Xinya had managed to act rapidly. Although the Wen Family had incurred a major loss, they had managed to keep the losses to the minimum.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I just gave the idea. Grandpa, you’re the one who pulled it off well.”
Wen Haowen had done an extremely shameless and truly unacceptable thing. Hence, he was still extremely disappointed and had yet to snap out of it.
However, once he did, the first thing he did was to get to the bottom of the truth and find out Yang Ziyu’s motive for getting close to Wen Haowen. After all, he had been a shrewd businessman all his life and definitely thought about the solution too.
Wen Xinya had gotten a great shock when Old Mr. Wen asked for her opinion, which she blurted without hesitation. Actually... even if Old Mr. Wen had not asked her for it, she would have blurted it out anyway. She partly wanted to show Old Mr. Wen how concerned she was about the Wen Family’s interests.
Ever since Ning Shuqian faked her pregnancy and caused a scene at the annual gala, she had become much more composed and knew better than to get upset over little scheming tricks, especially after hearing Si Yiyan’s wise words.
Old Mr. Wen sighed and said, “I wouldn’t be so frustrated if your father was half as sensible as you are.”
Wen Xinya was undoubtedly an outstanding girl who had exhibited her abilities and intelligence time and time again, be it during the acquirement of Ai Shang Group, or the current crisis that the Wen Family was facing. Her talent in handling ordeals was incredibly impressive and Old Mr. Wen was certain that she would outshine him.
Wen Xinya smiled silently at the mention of Wen Haowen. She then changed the subject and asked, “Grandpa, how should we handle Yang Ziyu?”
Yang Ziyu was no longer suitable to work for the Wen Corporation. Although Yang Ziyu was the one who had harbored designs on Wen Haowen first, it was a matter of fact that he had bedded her. Things would go awry if the matter was handled inappropriately and Yang Ziyu accused Wen Haowen instead.
Old Mr. Wen said, “Yang Ziyu has already been sacked by the Wen Corporation, and I’ve contacted Yang Ziyu’s close friends. Don’t worry, she won’t get the chance to accuse us.”
Making the media focus their attention on Yang Ziyu was only the first step of the plan.
Seemingly having understood Old Mr. Wen’s plans, Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Experience really does come with age. Grandpa, you’ve made such careful consideration. But, Grandpa... I have a friend who owns an entertainment company and is on close terms with the reputable reporters in the city. Let me know if you need his help, I can give you a hand.”
Gazing at her, Old Mr. Wen said smilingly, “Is your friend Mr. Ling? I was wondering why the reporters were so quick to clear your father’s name as soon as we cast the attention on Yang Ziyu. Turns out you had a part to play.”
She was indeed referring to him! The Ling Family was extraordinary and the patriarch of the Ling Family was the reputable Lieutenant General of the military camp. Due to the fact that his eldest son was infatuated with a rookie actress of the entertainment industry, he fell out with his son and they got into a major conflict. Hence, Old Mr. Ling decided to retire and stay at home, leading to the establishment of the Lingyun Entertainment company. In recent years, they had signed on various celebrities who possessed great potential, and became an entertainment magnate.
No wonder the reporters were willing to help and spare Haowen some mercy.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Ling Qingxuan and I are close friends. It’s just a small favor.”
She had intentionally brought it up because she wanted to be credited.
Old Mr. Wen sighed and said, “We’re getting old in our years. The world really belongs to young people now. This time, you really deserve credit for helping the Wen Family tide through the ordeal.”
He had no choice but to see her in a different light.
She had a wide network of connections and a bunch of close friends, all of whom were of great help to her. Xu Zhenyu allowed her to join the most prestigious circle of upper-class society and got her affiliated with the military. Zhou Tianyu enjoyed a great reputation in the circle and helped Wen Xinya build her reputation. Since businesses were closely associated with politics, Xu Tongxuan’s close relations to the government gave Wen Xinya an edge in the political world while Ling Qingxuan, the owner of an entertainment company, had also brought the Wen Family lots of benefits.
As soon as she returned to the Wen Family home, she had been securing a footing for herself and working her way towards becoming fully-fledged, unlike Ning Shuqian, who had been married to Wen Haowen for more than a decade. Compared to the Wen Xinya, Ning Shuqian possessed a natural advantage and had a perfect chance to improve herself. Yet, she had never been able to blend into the upper-class society, making it easy for Wen Xinya to annihilate her.
Now... she had become fully-fledged. Hence, she had the bravery and courage to spread her wings in front of him.
I’m really getting old! The youngsters are much more scheming than me.
