Chapter 1395: It’s Hard to Dodge a Bullet Fired from the Dark
At this point, Wen Xinya had no idea that Xia Ruya had already returned to Capital City and was hiding in the dark like a terrifying snake. Xia Ruya was watching her closely and waiting to attack her with a lethal blow when she was not noticing.
For the last few years, she had been engaging Celestial Detective Agency to keep close tabs on Xia Ruya. However, their abilities were limited and Xia Ruya had been becoming extremely mysterious ever since she started cooperating with the Korean-Chinese Alliance. Hence, even the Celestial Detective Agency could not track her whereabouts.
The Wen Corporation had garnered plenty of attention for their heirloom sales strategy, thanks to the publication made by the media. The stock prices of the Wen Corporation had also been increasing steadily.
With the support of Old Mr. Wen and Wen Haowen, the heirloom sales strategy had become the most important project of the Wen Corporation.
Wen Xinya was in charge of it.
She took over the project after her ankle injury healed and hence, the project had been proceeding smoothly.
Secretary Cao handed a doc.u.ment to Wen Xinya and said, “These are the sales records of the Jewelry pieces designed by Madam, as well as the information of our clients. I’ve already sorted and filtered the information and I can confirm that these customers will be interested in purchasing Madam’s designs.”
Secretary Cao had been making arrangements for the heirloom sales strategy, according to instructions given by Wen Xinya. Hence, the project was now in full swing.
Secretary Cao was indeed very efficient, for he managed to submit the report to her a day after she requested it. “Get the project team to come up with a detailed invitation list and submit it to me in three days’ time.”
The Wen Corporation would be sending out sales invites to the guests whom they would like to offer the chance to purchase Mo Yunyao’s last masterpieces. They had selected some clients who fancied Mo Yunyao’s designs and the final list of clients would be the future owners of Mo Yunyao’s last masterpieces.
Secretary Cao acknowledged with a nod. “No problem!”
Wen Xinya asked, “What has Wen Haowen been doing lately?”
She knew that the last sum of funds had already been released. Unfortunately, the entertainment city project had already come to a hiatus which had lasted for more than 20 days.
She wondered if Wen Haowen was aware of that.
Secretary Cao answered, “Wen Haowen has been focusing all of his time and attention on the heirloom sales strategy and the progress of the entertainment city project seems to have slowed down. Not many are paying attention to it, but Wen Haowen has been becoming more and more bold with his behavior in the Wen Corporation.”
Wen Haowen was focusing on the heirloom sales strategy and wis.h.i.+ng that Wen Xinya would accidentally make some mistakes at work. He wanted to take the chance to nitpick on her and strip her of her rights to manage the project.
After all, if Wen Xinya were to successfully complete the project, she would gain the recognition and approval of the shareholders of the Wen Corporation and that would help increase her status and power in the corporation.
Wen Haowen only supported the sales strategy and Wen Xinya, because it was his last resort. He obviously didn’t want to see her succeed.
Wen Xinya thought about it and soon understood what intentions Wen Haowen was harboring. She said with a slight frown, “There shouldn’t be any mistake in the heirloom sales strategy. Pay more attention to it because it’s hard to dodge a bullet that comes from the dark.”
If someone were bent on harming someone else, he or she would be impossible to prevent against. Hence, Wen Xinya had to be more cautious. Her greatest fear was not Wen Haowen or Ning Shuqian, but rather, it was the hidden snake.
Secretary Cao said, “Rest a.s.sured, Missy. With us in charge of the entertainment city project, Wen Haowen won’t be able to disrupt it at all. We won’t let them have the chance to take advantage.”
Wen Xinya had been extremely careful and had already started making arrangements for the project after she took over the heirloom sales strategy. On top of that, she also had the help of Old Mr. Wen and hence, there would be no way for Wen Haowen to pull any tricks at all. Now that the entertainment city project was about to be completed soon, Wen Haowen was getting more and more angst, and he would face everyone with a sullen expression as if they owed him a living.
Extremely pleased, Wen Xinya said after a brief moment of silence, “That may be the case, but Wen Haowen’s attention on the project is going to be disadvantageous to us. It’s only a matter of time before it causes other problems.”
Wen Haowen did not mind harming the Wen Family’s interests so long as he could get rid of her. What else would he be afraid of doing?
Clearly, Secretary Cao had also thought about that. He asked with a sullen expression, “Missy, what do you plan to do?”
It was very much unlike Wen Xinya to sit back and wait for her enemies to launch an attack. He reckoned that she definitely had a solution and strategy in mind.
Just like he had expected, Wen Xinya answered after a brief moment of thinking, “Find a chance to let Wen Haowen know that the entertainment city project has already come to a halt.”
She knew Wen Haowen too well. The entertainment city project was the thing that he was most concerned about now, and given how much he liked to claim credit, he would have definitely sped up the progress of the entertainment city project as soon as the last sum of funds were released. However, he actually s.h.i.+fted his attention to the heirloom sales strategy. Clearly, Ning Shuqian had already distracted him and he had no idea that the entertainment city project had already come to a halt.
What would he do after he found out?
The catalyst of the entertainment city project was Wen Haowen who was also in charge of it. He had a say in the project and, although the Korean-Chinese Alliance had already controlled Ning Shuqian and got her to manipulate Wen Haowen, they were still not the ones handling the project themselves. Wen Haowen was a decisive person who had his own thoughts and not a mindless puppet who would blindly follow everything they said. What would Wen Haowen do once he found out that the project had temporarily been put on hold?
Wen Xinya was looking forward to it.
Of course, the fact that he had been focusing all of his attention on the heirloom sales strategy had also made her feel a sense of threat. Hence, she decided to let him find out about the halt, so as to distract him from the sales strategy.
She believed that Wen Haowen would be more interested in the entertainment city project than the heirloom sales strategy.
Greatly taken aback, Secretary Cao asked, “The project has come to a temporary limbo?”
Clearly, he had no idea.
Secretary Cao’s face grew sullen, for he had been paying close attention to the project and yet, he was clueless about it coming to a halt.
However, Wen Xinya was already well aware.
Wen Xinya smiled and remained silent. The fact that even Wen Haowen had no idea that the project had already come to a halt, meant that the plan was carried out in an extremely mysterious and secretive way. She knew that Si Yiyan had something to do with it.
