Chapter 1105: Urgent Board Meeting
Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian spent the whole of last night getting intimate with each other. Ever since they reconciled, Ning Shuqian had rarely ever given in to him so pa.s.sionately. Hence, Wen Haowen was extremely enthusiastic and vigorous. He only stopped and dozed off after his muscles began to ache.
Wen Haowen was jolted awake by his loud ringtone.
It was the most common ringtone ever. It continuously repeated over and over again in the quiet room and it was so obnoxious that he could not ignore it.
Wen Haowen woke up, only to find that he was suffering a throbbing headache because of the ringtone. He subconsciously rubbed his head and closed his eyes.
Wen Haowen could not help but curse angrily.
Next, Wen Haowen grabbed his mobile phone and hollered. “Heck, you’d better pray that you’re calling me to talk about something important. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you get it from me.”
The person on the other end of the line remained silent for a while.
Fuming with exasperation, Wen Haowen barked. “Hey, h.e.l.lo… if you keep staying quiet, I’m going to hang up.”
Wen Haowen was infuriated by the fact that the caller remained silent after calling so many times and waking him up.
Just as Wen Haowen was about to hang up, the caller said in a jittery voice, “CEO Wen, I’m Xiao Zhao. The shareholders informed me that they’ll be holding an impromptu board meeting.”
Since Secretary He was in charge of the entertainment city project, Xiao Zhao took over his job of being Wen Haowen’s secretary. Although Xiao Zhao was not as sharp as Secretary He, Wen Haowen was rather pleased with his performance in the past month or so.
Wen Haowen immediately sobered up and asked, “An impromptu and urgent meeting? Did something happen to the company?”
The urgent board meeting was definitely held because of a significant reason. No one had the rights to hold a board meeting unless the topic to be discussed concerned the Wen Corporation’s interests. Hence, the first thing that came to Wen Haowen’s mind was that something had happened to the Wen Corporation.
Xiao Zhao said, “I’m not sure about that, but the shareholders wanted me to inform you to show up at the meeting on time. I probed, but they didn’t reveal any details.”
Wen Haowen was completely dumbfounded. Suppressing his doubts, he urged. “Hurry and go ask around. Find out the reason for the impromptu meeting. I’ll be there in no time.”
Despite being the CEO of the Wen Corporation, Wen Haowen had no idea what the impromptu meeting was for. However, he was ill at ease because he knew that there was something unusual about the matter.
Xiao Zhao naturally did not have any objections. He exclaimed, “CEO Wen, make your way here as soon as possible! The shareholders have already arrived.”
After ending the call, Wen Haowen took a look at the time to see that it was already 9:10 AM, which also meant that he had to make it to the Wen Corporation office tower in 20 minutes in order to be in time for the board meeting. He could not afford to be late at all.
Without hesitation, Wen Haowen lifted the duvet and rushed out of bed. To his astonishment, his legs turned into jelly and he blacked out.
“Haowen, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” asked a worried Ning Shuqian, who was greeted with the sight of him falling down as soon as she entered the room. She frantically strode towards him and helped him up.
Wen Haowen was not feeling unwell. He was instead just feeling feeble because he had hurt himself while engaging in excessive intercourse last night. Wen Haowen had always been l.u.s.tful and obsessed with women. However, he was prevented from indulging in l.u.s.t because of Old Mr. Wen’s strict supervision. Later on, Ning Shuqian managed to win Wen Haowen over and he also refrained from adultery because of his pride. Ever since his adulterous affair was exposed, he became more and more unrestrained when it came to s.e.x.
Last night, Wen Haowen made her get intimate with him for several hours and even took some v.i.a.g.r.a to keep himself going. Staring at Wen Haowen who was as pale as a sheet with his eyes gla.s.sed over and his body turning weak, Ning Shuqian chastised in her heart, Such a wimp!
Wen Haowen frantically shrugged her arm away and said, “I’m alright. I received a call from Xiao Zhao just now. After being told that the shareholders have held an urgent board meeting, I got too fl.u.s.tered and became a little giddy.”
He obviously wouldn’t let Ning Shuqian know that he almost collapsed because of how feeble his body was.
Greatly taken aback, Ning Shuqian asked, “What? Impromptu shareholders meeting?” Next, she asked in surprise, “Could it be that there’s an outcome for the entertainment city request funds? Has the application been handed over to the shareholders?”
Ning Shuqian was over the moon and she thought to herself, What else could the meeting be for? It must be that the funds have been approved. Wen Xinya can dream on if she wants to terminate the project!
Once we receive the funds, it’ll be over for Wen Xinya.
Ning Shuqian could not conceal her happiness at all.
“How could I forget about that?” said Wen Haowen, who suddenly snapped out his trance, as if he had seen a silver lining. When he first heard about the conference, he was too busy panicking to even remember that. Reason being, all the board meetings were often related to the Wen Corporation’s interests and profits. Hence, he subconsciously a.s.sumed that something had gone wrong.
In hindsight, he realized that it couldn’t be such a coincidence because the funds’ application had just been relayed to the shareholders yesterday and yet, a meeting was held today. Besides, the Wen Corporation’s interests were concerned in the entertainment city project and hence, it was only normal that they’d hold an emergency board meeting.
Wen Haowen felt less fl.u.s.tered after giving it some thought.
However, he nonetheless dashed to the bathroom and freshened up before putting on his clothes and dragging his feet out of the house. He then rushed to the office with heavy eyebags.
Wen Haowen’s apartment was only a 15-minute drive away from the Wen Corporation office.
However, traffic in the city was not smooth. By the time Wen Haowen arrived, it was already 9:35 AM. Xiao Zhao was holding his mobile phone and waiting for Wen Haowen to arrived while pacing back and forth anxiously.
Wen Haowen finally showed up.
Wen Haowen missed a step on the staircase and almost tripped, perhaps because of his nervousness.
Xiao Zhao scurried towards him and said, “CEO Wen, you’re finally here.”
Due to the fact that he had embarra.s.sed himself, Wen Haowen appeared rather upset. “Did you find out anything?”
Although Wen Haowen had made some speculations about the meeting, he wanted Xiao Zhao to verify the information. After all, Wen Haowen had always been paranoid.
Xiao Zhao answered, “I heard that it’s regarding the starting funds for the entertainment city project.
