Chapter 1871: Jewelry Design Strategy Meeting
Although the Wen Corporation had cleared its name from the money laundering scandal and resolved the power struggle among the shareholders, the company had been battered by wave after wave of crisis since Gu Yihan’s drug use was exposed. As a result, the Wen Corporation had suffered ma.s.sive losses and was not even half as powerful as it once was.
Although the Wen Corporation’s reputation had been greatly boosted after they were cleared of all money laundering allegations, the company still faced many issues, including their dire financial straits, the mess left behind after Qian Jianhui and gang were kicked out, implementing the new plans for the future development of the company, etc. It would not be easy to sort all these out.
The upper-cla.s.s society had been closely monitoring the Wen Family and many were just waiting for the family to fall so that they could take advantage of their defeated state.
However, a popular phrase was now spreading across the internet: Whoever dared to laugh at the fallen would end up a laughingstock themselves.
As if to prove the above phrase, the Wen Corporation had been secretly carrying out discreet operations to mend all the problems they had been facing.
The world was astounded by their astute actions.
Everyone realized now that the weak state of the Wen Corporation was just a facade put up by the company. They applauded the Wen Corporation’s shrewdness and at the same time pitied Qian Jianhui and the Li Corporation, who had been completely played for fools.
Nevertheless, all felt they deserved to lose.
Anyone who had been waiting by the sidelines for an opportunity to take a bite out of the Wen Family when they were down—they had immediately banished all such thoughts and kept silent.
And it was at this time that Wen Xinya, Cao Zixing, and Xue Yishan led a revolutionary revamp of the company.
Most surprising was the fact that the majority of the employees were not against this revamp. In fact, most of them approved of it heartily. Anyone with the least bit of foresight could tell that this revamp would inject new life into the Wen Corporation.
Meanwhile, during the period when Old Mr. Wen was in police custody, Wen Xinya had been hard at work overseeing the Wen Corporation and helping the company navigate its way out of those turbulent times. As a result, her reputation within the company had quietly surpa.s.sed that of Old Mr. Wen.
Everyone in Wen Corporation was rejoicing over the fact that the company was progressing in the right direction now.
Wen Xinya walked into the Wen Corporation with her a.s.sistant Yang following behind her. “Miss Wen, you have a 10 am meeting with the jewelry design department regarding the design strategy. At 10:30 am, the fas.h.i.+on design department will send over the new clothing designs for your review. At 11:30 am, you have a lunchtime appointment with several shareholders. Then, at 2 pm, there will be a meeting with the board of directors regarding the company’s future development. At 3:30 pm, you have a meeting with Lanxin Company’s CEO Yan…”
Wen Xinya’s entire day was jam-packed. She would hardly have time to even breathe.
But she was resigned to it. She had already tried to filter out as many unnecessary meetings as possible.
Wen Xinya raised her brows slightly. “Cancel the lunch appointment with the shareholders, as well as the meeting with the CEO of Lanxin Company.”
Yang was momentarily taken aback but still nodded. “Alright, I will do so.”
Those shareholders were new investors and had specially invited Miss Wen out for lunch, so it would be impolite to reject. Meanwhile, the meeting with the CEO of Lanxin Company was the most important task today. Why did Miss Wen just cancel them?
Miss Wen, is it really okay for you to behave so impetuously?
But Miss Wen would naturally have her own reasons for acting so. It was not for her to second-guess her decisions.
Wen Xinya continued to relay her orders. “In ten minutes’ time, I want to see the information regarding the new strategy by the jewelry design department.”
Wen Xinya was still the chief jewelry designer at Wen Corporation, while also overseeing the fas.h.i.+on design department and all internal operations within the company. No one could be busier than her.
After multiple blows to the company, the Wen Corporation was finally back on track now. It was their time to make a comeback and all had to be perfect.
Yang nodded and left.
10 minutes later, it was 10 am.
Wen Xinya entered the meeting room with the doc.u.ments on the new strategy by the jewelry design department.
Wen Xinya speed-read through the strategy as she listened to the discussion. About 10 minutes later, she had finished reading the doc.u.ments. “The new strategy is very good. Using pearls and diamonds as the main materials will fully display the themes of honing and transformation, as well as purity and eternity. This line of thought is good, but we need to be more bold and innovative—as this theme is not that uncommon in the world of jewelry design.”
The staff who had come up with the proposal was delighted with Wen Xinya’s affirmation. “Miss Wen, I understand. I will improve the proposal and come up with an even better one for you.”
Actually, she already had a new idea on how to improve her proposal.
And it was Miss Wen who had given her the inspiration for it.
She thought about how Miss Wen had returned to the Wen Family and transformed from a homeless little hooligan into a dazzling phoenix. Miss Wen herself was the perfect example of how a pearl was formed through years of honing.
Meanwhile, the diamond represented purity and eternity. They were not referring to love but to a person’s character. She resolutely believed that Miss Wen truly possessed a diamond-quality character, which was why she shone with a light that was pure and eternal.
In her eyes, the best strategy was to incorporate Miss Wen herself into the campaign. To make use of Miss Wen’s name to revive the Wen Corporation.
At this point, Wen Xinya didn’t know what that staff was thinking about at all, so she just said mildly, “Finish up the strategy as soon as possible. I will personally design two products for this new strategy, and then select the remainder from the creations of the other designers in the department.
“If you have anything you are unsure of, please come and ask me. But do bear in mind that my time is very limited. I hope that you can fully maximize all the time we have. In addition, I won’t allow any underhanded compet.i.tive methods in the jewelry design department. Should I discover any such antics, those involved will be fired.”
Wen Xinya had managed the jewelry design department for many years and groomed many talents within. This mini-compet.i.tion to select the designs for the new strategy from within the department was her way of giving those talents a chance to s.h.i.+ne. She hoped to be able to find an exceptional designer to take over the department.
Excitement pulsed through the meeting room.
Wen Xinya held a resounding reputation within the world of jewelry design, and everyone truly respected and admired her. In addition, she never tried to intimidate any newcomers but offered her guidance to everyone equally.
They had learned a lot under Miss Wen’s tutelage.
