Chapter 1595: Darling, I love you!
The charity banquet jointly held by the Zhishan Club and Lanxin Company was Wen Xinya’s one-man show. She had painstakingly described the pros and cons of external acquisitions of local businesses, helplessly admitted the current situation of the local brands losing out to foreign brands, and also expressed her determination in resisting external acquisitions.
It shook most of the people present and also everyone who was following this charity banquet. A sense of patriotic pride started brewing in the hearts of everyone.
The next day, the papers, magazines, and websites all reported Wen Xinya’s impa.s.sioned speech at the charity banquet.
An online group was formed to resist external investors which harmed local brands and invaded the health supplements market. These people furiously forwarded Wen Xinya’s impa.s.sioned speech and listed all of the tragedies of Chinese companies being viciously acquired by foreign investors over these years.
Some members of the public also gathered pa.s.sionately patriotic people to raise banners and stage protests at the entrance of the three companies under the T-K Corporation—Nanshan, XX, and Mei Shan.
“Resist the vicious acquisitions of external businesses!”
“Defend the safety of local brands!”
“Drive the overbearing external investors out of China!”
T-K Corporation came forward to appease them. However, they were mostly too agitated and totally unwilling to accept any consolation. T-K Corporation couldn’t take more aggressive measures and daren’t report to the police, because once the matter was blown up, its reputation would be done for and they would realize their image as an overbearing invader.
There were even some victors of external businesses who gathered crowds to cheer in front of the three companies under the T-K Corporation:
“To defend the pride of local brands!”
“To the rise of local brands!”
“To the future of local brands!”
The acquisition battle between Lanxin Company and T-K Corporation had completely turned into a battle to defend local brands.
For this battle, Wen Xinya had four steps.
The first step was to play the victim and give the consumers a hint that T-K Corporation was an overbearing invader.
The second step was a peripheral attack to crush the reputation of T-K Corporation and its products, inviting the enemy to the battle!
The third step was an imitation flank attack, thoroughly nullifying T-K Corporation’s marketing strategy and obtaining the upper hand in this battle.
The fourth step was a head-on attack, using the reputation of the Zhishan Club to gather the patriotic ma.s.ses to resist external acquisitions, embroiling the T-K Corporation in a whirlwind.
The four-step strategy by Wen Xinya all targeted at the hearts of the ma.s.ses with only one goal—to bring everyone to her side.
By losing the hearts of the ma.s.ses, T-K Corporation would lose its compet.i.tiveness in the market.
Si Yiyan hugged Wen Xinya as they watched the news. “I thought that you’d ask me for help this time around.”
T-K Corporation was aggressive and the local health supplements brands lost one after another. Based on the situation of the health supplements market, Lanxin Company would face an arduous battle.
Thus, he had also done some preparations to attack T-K Corporation.
However, unexpectedly, this young woman single-handedly turned the tables for the local health supplements companies and for Lanxin Company, gaining the upper hand in this battle.
Wen Xinya ate a strawberry as she stared at him. “Stop looking down on people. Even without depending on you, I can defeat T-K Corporation, drive them out of China’s health supplements market, and give them a painful lesson so that they know who’s boss.”
Previously, she had indeed thought about asking Si Yiyan for help regarding the T-K Corporation’s intention to monopolize China’s health supplements market. However, she eventually gave up this thought. She wanted to see if she could win this battle without depending on Si Yiyan and if Lanxin Company could withstand this tough test.
It had been shown that she was right.
T-K Corporation was indeed as aggressive as a tiger.
However, on China’s soil, this tiger, which was only said to reign over jungles, was like coming from the Amazon Jungle and placed on a huge plain—and plains had always been the hunting grounds for wolves.
Tiger vs Wolf!
It seemed as if they weren’t of equal capabilities.
n.o.body would think that a wolf could triumph over a tiger’s ferocity.
However, a wolf had an innate geographical advantage.
Hunting relied on an animal’s strength as well as its geographical location.
Wen Xinya had precisely used her innate geographical advantage as a Chinese. Each of her steps, from playing the victim, to the peripheral and flank attacks, and even the head-on attack all depended on China’s patriotism.
Si Yiyan pulled her onto his lap and looked at her seriously. “I’ve never looked down on you or underestimated you, ever.”
She had won this tough battle and the happiest person was none other than Si Yiyan.
This woman actually dared to do such an audacious act, going against a huge force such as the T-K Corporation without fearing the consequences, only because he had her back.
This feeling of being able to be depended on by a woman and being able to hold the sky up for a woman made Si Yiyan feel a dull sense of pride.
“Then, do you think that I’m brilliant? Am I worthy of fighting alongside you? Am I a good match for you?” Wen Xinya was riding between Si Yiyan’s legs. When a man looked at you with focus, his gaze was scorching with hidden turmoils and overflowing with pa.s.sion.
Previously, she had wanted to depend on herself to control her fate.
Unknowingly, her att.i.tude had been changed completely. She wanted to depend on herself to match up to him.
“Very brilliant. In this world, only you’re worthy of fighting alongside me, and you’re the only woman who’s truly a good match for me.”
At this point, Si Yiyan had an inexplicable urge.
She looked at him with eyes filled with admiration and asked him lovingly as a submissive girl: Am I worthy of fighting alongside you? Am I a good match for you!
The overflowing feelings became strings of attachment which wrapped his entire body and entire heart up.
It wasn’t that Wen Xinya hadn’t said similar things before, but none had affected him this much.
Because, she used her own actions to prove to him that she was a girl worthy of being his match.
Wen Xinya smiled, and happily so.
“Darling, I love you!” Si Yiyan leaned in, sealed her lips, and kissed her pa.s.sionately.
He didn’t tell Wen Xinya.
All along, he had been following her calling, chasing after her glamorous footsteps. Without his ident.i.ty and status, he was merely an ordinary man who loved her—a man who also needed to match up to her.
