Chapter 1108: Terminating the Entertainment City Project
Wen Xinya noticed the smugness on Wen Haowen’s face.
She only noticed that Wen Haowen had already gotten the fund application for the entertainment city project and handed them to the shareholders, at eight in the morning.
She did not expect Wen Haowen to be so quick in winning over the directors. At this moment… she finally realized that she had been too naive to think that she could delay the approval of funds by jeopardizing the banquet that Wen Haowen had thrown. Although she could change the directors’ impression of Wen Haowen, she had forgotten about the shareholders!
All of the directors were the spokespeople of the shareholders who had nominated them to join the board. Although they seemed to be concerned about the Wen Corporation’s interests, they actually had their own motives.
They represented the shareholders.
If it weren’t because of the shareholders’ support, they wouldn’t have dared to attend Wen Haowen’s banquet or accept his gift!
Hence, the shareholders had already approved the funds.
In that case, they obviously wouldn’t be bothered by her, the mere successor of the Wen Corporation.
Hence, she immediately informed Old Mr. Wen about it and got him to hold an impromptu shareholders’ meeting while the application form was still with the shareholders.
Fortunately, Si Yiyan predicted the possible troubles beforehand and handed the data to her as soon as possible. If there had been any delay, she wouldn’t have had the confidence to sit there.
At this moment, Wen Haowen said, “The entertainment city project has already kicked off and the directors have also approved of the funds needed to complete the initial stages of the development. Do you guys have any objections?”
The shareholders naturally did not have any objections. Everyone knew how lucrative an entertainment city could be. Besides, the proposal that Wen Haowen submitted was flawless too. Although they were displeased with the ha.s.sle that Wen Haowen had caused, they were glad that the first sum of funds needed was not too large. After all, no one would say no to money.
What would the other problems have to do with him?
“In that case, I hereby declare that the entertainment city development officially begins.” The shareholders’ reaction was beyond Wen Haowen’s expectations. If it weren’t because of the shareholders’ support, the directors wouldn’t have approved of the funds.
“I object to the approval of the funds,” said a crisp and clear voice, which was also cold and a.s.sertive.
Everyone watched as Wen Xinya rose from her seat, her figure appearing slim and taut in her gray suit. Her back was as straight as a ruler and she looked rather mature.
Old Mr. Wen was suddenly reminded of Old Mr. Mo!
They had the same aura and confidence.
The shareholders remained silent and got ready to listen to what she had to say, for they knew that Old Mr. Wen definitely had his own reasons for bringing Wen Xinya along to the impromptu meeting. They had no choice but to be careful because the matter concerned the Wen Corporation’s and their interests.
Wen Haowen could not help but feel exasperated. He immediately stood up and barked at Wen Xinya. “Xinya, you may be the successor of the Wen Family, but you can’t just voice your objections so blatantly. Please tell us the reason for your objection.”
Since Old Mr. Wen was the one who brought her along and defended her, she definitely had the rights to interfere. Hence, Wen Haowen couldn’t make her shut up either.
Wen Xinya glanced at Wen Haowen calmly, not at all fazed by his menacing and threatening expression. She took a look at the shareholders before s.h.i.+fting her gaze back onto Wen Haowen. She began to speak with clear intonations.
“I’m objecting because the entertainment city project can’t bring about any ma.s.sive benefits for the Wen Corporation or the shareholders. It’ll only affect our interests negatively.”
Upon hearing Wen Xinya’s words, the shareholders could not help but begin discussing amongst themselves softly.
If Wen Xinya were the only one present, the shareholders would probably not be convinced by her words and would instead think that she was just being absurd.
However, she had attended the meeting together with Old Mr. Wen, who clearly supported her. They could ignore Wen Xinya’s opinions, but they couldn’t undermine Old Mr. Wen.
The shareholders knew that they had Old Mr. Wen to thank for how successful the Wen Corporation was, even though the latter had already retired for years.
Wen Haowen was immediately angered by Wen Xinya’s words. Due to his lack of sleep, his eyes had become bloodshot and covered in veins. His eyes turned as dry as a desert and he looked extremely terrifying.
Even until now, Wen Xinya is still refusing to give up.
Since she’s gone all out, she’d better not blame me for being ruthless.
“Wen Xinya, the shareholders have all unanimously agreed to the entertainment city project and it’s not something that you can just terminate because you want to. The proposal plan has already covered the profit a.n.a.lysis of the benefits that the entertainment city can potentially bring to the corporation and the shareholders. There are also appraisals done by professionals. How can you just oppose to it?”
Wen Haowen had put in too much effort and hard work into the entertainment city project which was the most important thing to him now. Hence, he wouldn’t let off anyone who dared to terminate the project.
Wen Xinya’s words had provoked Wen Haowen.
The shareholders were in support of Wen Haowen. After all, the proposal was evidence of whether or not the entertainment city could bring about substantial benefits to the Wen Corporation and the shareholders.
However, there was no proof of Wen Xinya’s claim. In that case, how were they supposed to believe her?
Wen Haowen’s fierce chiding did not shock Wen Xinya at all. She stared at him firmly, the serenity and clearness of her gaze a stark contrast to Wen Haowen’s menace.
“CEO Wen, you’re right. But of course, I’m not making those claims without any evidence. I only had the guts to bring this up during the meeting because I have concrete evidence and data to support my claim. Dear directors, please give me some time to prove to everyone what I meant.”
