Chapter 1909 - Wen Xinya Arrives At The Li Corporation With Her Team
"Miss Wen…" Xue Yishan pushed the door open.
Wen Xinya suppressed a wave of nausea and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Sorry!"
With that, she covered her mouth and dashed into the bathroom, puking straight into the rubbish bin.
Over the past two days, she had a very poor appet.i.te and ate very little. There wasn"t much in her stomach such that as much as her gut churned, she only vomited some bile.
Having finally suppressed her nausea, Wen Xinya washed her face before putting on a thick layer of makeup to cover up her haggard appearance. She then came out of the bathroom.
Xue Yishan asked worriedly, "Miss Wen, are you alright?"
Miss Wen"s health had not been too good lately. She had obviously lost a lot of weight over a short period of time, and they were all very concerned.
"It"s nothing. Let"s go!" Wen Xinya took up her purse and left the office.
Xue Yishan had no choice but to follow.
The group of them boarded the car and the vehicle slowly made its way toward the Li Corporation.
Wen Xinya appeared very tired. The moment she boarded the car, she immediately leaned back against her seat to catch a little shuteye. a.s.sistant Yang, who was riding shotgun, looked back at her worriedly.
a.s.sistant Yang was constantly by Wen Xinya"s side and no one knew better than her what Miss Wen"s health condition was like.
She had previously advised Miss Wen to go for a checkup at the hospital or to get more rest.
But Wen Xinya completely ignored her advice.
Several times she noticed Miss Wen standing in a daze by the window with a mobile phone in hand. She could feel that something bad must have happened to Miss Wen.
About half an hour later, the car came to a stop at the Li Corporation"s VIP parking area. Wen Xinya had really fallen asleep and didn"t even realize the car had stopped.
Yang bit her lips and was just about to wake her up.
But Xue Yishan shook his head at her.
A quietness permeated the s.p.a.ce within the car.
About 10 minutes later, Wen Xinya was awoken by the urgent beeping of a mobile phone. She raised her brows slightly and asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Have we arrived? How long was I asleep for?"
She rubbed her swollen eyes, looking rather peaky.
She never expected to have really fallen asleep in the car.
Xue Yishan said, "Not for long. Only about 10 minutes."
"Let"s go!" Wen Xinya nodded and sat up straight. She touched up her makeup and arranged her clothes before alighting.
Yang followed behind Miss Wen, feeling rather vexed at herself for forgetting to keep her mobile phone in silent mode. Otherwise, Miss Wen could have slept a bit longer.
A whole team was tagging along behind Wen Xinya, including Xue Yishan, several directors from the Wen Corporation"s board, as well the company"s legal team. The entire group strode confidently through the front doors of the Li Corporation.
The Li Corporation"s staff were startled by the sight. Everyone started whispering fervently.
"What"s happening? Did something go wrong? If my eyes didn"t deceive me, the one leading the delegation is Wen Xinya. What is she doing in the Li Corporation?"
"Miss Wen has certainly arrived in style. This group looks very formidable. I wonder why have they come?"
"The Li Corporation is about to go belly up soon. Why has Wen Xinya brought such a large team over with her?"
"…"
At this point, Xia Ruya was calling the Li Family"s Grandpa on the phone. Grandpa"s health had not been too good over the past few years and he was admitted to a nursing home in Harbor City. All matters regarding the Li Corporation were now completely handled by Xia Ruya.
Her decision for the Li Corporation to focus on their development in China had been met with strong resistance by Grandpa. But as Grandpa was getting along in years and she had the support of Mr. Z, she had gradually gained control of the entire Li Corporation. Thereafter, she had secretly transferred the Li Corporation"s financial resources to China bit by bit, and their Harbor City division was now just an empty sh.e.l.l.
But she knew that any great family must have some hidden resources, especially an influential and powerful family like the Li Family, who had been established for over a hundred years.
The Li Corporation had been destroyed by her hand, and she was contacting Grandpa in hopes that he would forgive her and support her in the future, so that she could make a successful comeback.
Her call was quickly picked up by Mrs. Yang, who had been taking care of Grandpa.
Xia Ruya took a deep breath and first asked about Grandpa"s health, before raising her request. "Mrs. Yang, I have something to discuss with Grandpa."
Mrs. Yang"s chilly voice echoed through the phone. "Old Mr. Li just took his medicine and is asleep now."
Xia Ruya had no choice but to just murmur some words of concern before hanging up.
Recently, she had called Grandpa nearly every day, but her calls were always picked up by Mrs. Yang. Whenever she requested to speak with Grandpa, Mrs. Yang would give some excuse to reject her.
She knew Grandpa must be angry at her, so she mulled over this matter for a moment before calling her a.s.sistant. "Book me on a flight to Harbor City this afternoon."
Grandpa was unwilling to take her calls, so she had no choice but to personally return to Harbor City for a visit.
"Clang!" The doors to her office were pushed open as her fl.u.s.tered a.s.sistant dashed in.
Xia Ruya"s face stiffened as her expression turned as icy as a snake"s. "Get out. Who gave you permission to barge into my office just like that?"
Many employees within the Li Corporation had already deserted this sinking s.h.i.+p, and those who were left probably believed that the company was already on its last legs, and so displayed none of the behavior of a proper employee. She was very annoyed at this and wanted to blow her top, but recalling her doctor"s advice, she managed to suppress her outburst.
The a.s.sistant couldn"t help s.h.i.+vering under Xia Ruya"s venomous glare. "CEO… CEO Xia, Wen Xinya brought a team with her to the Li Corporation, and they are now in the board meeting room. They said that Harbor…"
The a.s.sistant was very scared of Xia Ruya.
Since Li Corporation was attacked by the Wen Corporation and Lanxin Company, Xia Ruya frequently flew into a rage for no apparent reason. Just a single glance from her was enough to make one tremble all over.
Before the a.s.sistant could finish her sentence, Xia Ruya had already jumped up from her seat with a whoosh. She widened her eyes and asked sharply, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Wen Xinya had arrived at the Li Corporation?
How was that possible?
"Wen Xinya brought a team with her to the Li Corporation…"
The a.s.sistant swallowed her saliva and tried to hide from Xia Ruya"s gaze. She was scared witless. She never realized how harsh and malevolent Xia Ruya looked when her eyes were widened like that.
"Wen Xinya, that b.i.t.c.h. Why has she come to the Li Corporation? Does she think the Li Corporation is her own backyard, that she can just come and go as she pleases? Even if the Li Corporation is about to collapse, it"s none of her business."
Xia Ruya was already angered beyond the point of reason. The doctor"s orders had already been replaced by rage.
In her opinion, Wen Xinya had brought a team to the Li Corporation as a direct challenge. She had purposely come over to gloat about her victory, and to see how miserable and wretched Xia Ruya was.
