Chapter 1298: Actually Fell for the Old Man’s Trap
Ever since the Wen Corporation established a cooperation with the Zhang Corporation, Wen Haowen had been spending every day feeling smug and confident. Due to the fact that the Zhang Corporation supported Wen Haowen, Old Mr. Wen had no choice but to suck it up, regardless of how displeased he was. The shareholders also dared not belittle him or give him a harsh att.i.tude. The employees of the Wen Corporation would also feel like they were stepping on eggsh.e.l.ls whenever they saw him.
Throughout the past three years, he had been putting in effort and time into boosting the development of the entertainment city project and pus.h.i.+ng for the cooperation to proceed. Now that they were already at the last stages of the project, he could already imagine the ma.s.sive profits that the entertainment city would bring to the Wen Corporation once it went into operation.
The old man and those shareholders simply don’t have great foresight. They’re actually thinking of using money to let Wen Xinya create her own brand so that they can suck up to her. Don’t they know that I’m the person whom they should be sucking up to now? The profits that the entertainment city can bring to the Wen Corporation are so much greater than what her pathetic jewelry pieces can do.
I’m the one who can make money for the Wen Corporation, not Wen Xinya!
Wen Xinya is just an immature and inexperienced greenhorn. How much can she earn for the Wen Corporation just with those drawings of hers?
How silly and ignorant!
A look of disdain formed on Wen Haowen’s face.
Ning Shuqian stood behind Wen Haowen and helped ma.s.sage his shoulders while speaking in a coquettish voice, “Haowen, is it comfortable?”
Wen Haowen opened his eyes and said sluggishly, “Little vixen, since when have you picked up such a great skill? I feel so much at ease after your ma.s.sage.”
He was not exaggerating at all, because the ma.s.sage that Ning Shuqian gave him was indeed very comfortable.
Ning Shuqian was elated. She smiled and said, “I noticed that you’ve been very busy slogging away every day because of the entertainment city project. Hence, I especially learned how to give a ma.s.sage so that I could ma.s.sage you and help you relieve some stress.”
Since Wen Haowen was the key figure in the entertainment city project, she naturally had to coax him. Otherwise, how was she supposed to manipulate her into doing his bidding?
Wen Haowen reached a hand out to hold Ning Shuqian’s hand which he then stroked lecherously. Staring at her randily, he said, “You really are my precious baby. You know how to serve me well. I must show you some love and pamper you in bed later.”
Ning Shuqian was getting better and better in bed. Previously, she even hired some young and beautiful girls to serve him in bed together with her. He was so satisfied that he wished he could get ten years younger.
Ning Shuqian retracted her hand and caressed his chest before exclaiming, “You’re really naughty!”
In reality, Wen Haowen had been getting more and more lecherous in bed too. Although he was not completely impotent, he was no longer as energetic as he used to be. Besides, he was already in his forties, he could no longer last that long in bed. Hence, she had been getting intimate with other men in the past few years.
Wen Haowen had no idea that he had long been made a cuckold numerous times before. He began flirting with Ning Shuqian.
Ning Shuqian burst into laughter. A while later, she stopped and asked, “Haowen, when can the last sum of funds for the entertainment city be deposited?”
The entertainment city project had already been delayed for a long time and they were six months behind schedule. Hence, they could not afford any further delay and had to complete it as soon as possible.
Wen Haowen answered, “I’ve already brought it up during the shareholders’ meeting a few days ago. I reckon they will be deposited in the next few days. ”
He was no longer a small fry and now held a significant position in the Wen Corporation. Hence, the shareholders would definitely take his words seriously.
Ning Shuqian frowned slightly and said, “I’m not that worried about the shareholders. I’m just worried that the old man might stop the funds from being released.”
For the past three years, the implementation of the entertainment city project was not that smooth and she was certain that Old Mr. Wen had something to do with it. However, they could not find any evidence because of how sleek he was with it.
Wen Haowen said, “Don’t worry, the old man doesn’t have as much power or authority as he used to. If he really dares to cause any obstruction, I’ll get the shareholders to teach him a lesson.”
A few days ago, Old Mr. Wen suggested that they create a brand for Wen Xinya, but Wen Haowen opposed to it and it did not get approved in the end. Old Mr. Wen no longer commanded that much authority in the shareholders’ meeting.
After hearing his words, Ning Shuqian smiled and exclaimed, “The funds better be approved in the next few days!”
Wen Haowen said, “There might be some difficulties in doing that because the old man mentioned about hosting a jewelry exhibition during the meeting a few days ago and the directors are all in approval. Lately, the exhibition has become the most important thing to the Wen Corporation. Hence, the funds will only be released after the exhibition.”
He approved of the exhibition too, because it had been a long time since they held an exhibition and it would be a good thing for the Wen Corporation.
After hearing his words, Ning Shuqian asked with a sullen expression, “You mean, the Wen Corporation is going to hold an exhibition?”
She immediately thought about Old Mr. Wen’s suggestion about the independent brand, after which she began to make her guesses.
Sensing the displeasure in her tone, Wen Haowen asked, “What’s wrong? Is there an issue with the exhibition?”
Ning Shuqian gritted her teeth angrily and snapped. “Of course there’s an issue. Think about it. Who’s gaining fame because of her jewelry design?”
Wen Haowen answered with a petulant expression, “Wen Xinya!”
Wen Haowen vaguely understood the truth of the matter. He actually forgot about that.
Ning Shuqian said, “In that case, she’ll be the one stealing the limelight during the jewelry exhibition. The old man is obviously out to boost her popularity.”
The mention of Wen Xinya made Ning Shuqian’s blood boil with anger. For the past three years, she had been watching Wen Xinya gain reputation and fame because of her jewelry design. Yet, there was nothing she could do because she had to commit all her time and energy to the entertainment city project. G.o.d knows… how angry she felt when watching Wen Xinya enjoy immense glory.
Wen Haowen’s face turned pale and he said, “The old man suggested that we create another brand for Wen Xinya but I managed to stop him. Once the exhibition is carried out successfully, the media will actively promote Wen Xinya and her brand would be rightfully established. No one would be able to stop them.”
So that was what the old man was trying to do. I didn’t expect him to be so sly and cunning. He actually played me like a fool.
The resentment that Wen Haowen felt towards Old Mr. Wen was rather terrifying.
Ning Shuqian said in exasperation, “Old Mr. Wen is really something, eh?”
No one would be able to raise any objections now that the matter about the exhibition had been confirmed.
Wen Haowen asked sternly, “We’ve all fallen for the old man’s trick. What… do you think we should do now?”
He would definitely not sit back and watch Wen Xinya create her brand. Once her brand was established, she would have a stable position in the Wen Corporation and she might even be on par with Wen Haowen with Old Mr. Wen’s support.
There was no longer a point in saying anything at this juncture. A look of resentment formed in Ning Shuqian’s eyes and she exclaimed, “Aren’t they planning to hold an exhibition? Let them go ahead, then!”
