Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1297: Creating the Jewelry Brand

Fine! Wen Xinya admitted that she was indeed intending to hear some gossip and juicy news, but actually, she was also just a little curious. However, she would not probe further since Old Mr. Mo did not want to tell her about it. However, she could more or less guess the truth after piecing together the bits of information that she had collected over the past three years.

Currently, she could confirm that the owner of Boya Pavilion harbored feelings towards Old Mr. Mo. Unfortunately, Old Mr. Mo had devoted all of his feelings to Old Mrs. Mo and spent his time and efforts on nursing Old Mrs. Mo’s health. His heart had also been buried together with Old Mrs. Mo’s body.

She actually took pity on the owner of Boya Pavilion.

Given how prideful and arrogant she was, how could she be satisfied with losing to Granny!?!

Besides, the fact that she had stayed single throughout her life made Wen Xinya feel rather amazed. In China... women would be ostracized and judged for staying unmarried for their entire life. It required tremendous courage to be able to take the criticism.

Usually, most people would feel touched and guilty if someone else were to stay unmarried for their sake, regardless of how iron-hearted they may be.

However, the owner of Boya Pavilion had underestimated Old Mr. Mo.

As the Confucius of the modern era, Old Mr. Mo would not deserve respect if he were to be as superficial and ignorant as most people.

There were different types of men in this world.

Old Mr. Mo had never had any romantic ties with the owner of Boya Pavilion. In that case, how could he possibly feel touched by her actions? It was all just wishful thinking on her part.

Wen Xinya silently gave Old Mr. Mo a thumbs-up.

...

Secretary Cao said, “The development of the entertainment city is coming to an end. Recently, Wen Haowen has become more and more arrogant and reckless in the Wen Corporation. He no longer fears or respects Old Mr. Wen like he used to. Previously, he even talked back to Old Mr. Wen during the shareholders’ meeting a few days ago and got into an argument with him. He didn’t show the shareholders any respect, either.”

Three years ago, Wen Haowen singlehandedly facilitated the cooperation between the Wen Corporation and the Zhang Corporation from Singapore. Since then, he had also taken charge of the entire project. In the past three years, Wen Haowen began throwing his weight around the corporation just because he had the support of the shareholders. If it weren’t because of Old Mr. Wen who had taken over the Wen Corporation again, he would have ruined it.

As the entertainment city project came to an end, Wen Haowen began to show his true colors and became a vicious and menacing wolf.

Wen Xinya asked with a slight frown, “What did they argue about?”

Wen Xinya was well aware of what Wen Haowen had been doing in the past three years and her resentment towards him grew even stronger than before. Wen Haowen had almost ignored the interests of the Wen Corporation and become the dog of the Zhang Corporation.

There were plenty of details of the cooperation between the two parties, which had to be discussed and negotiated repeatedly, for it concerned the interests of both parties. However, Wen Haowen seemed to have done the bidding of the Zhang Corporation and followed all of their instructions. Regardless of whether or not the Wen Corporation’s interests would be affected, he would forever stand on the Zhang Corporation’s side. He seemed to have forgotten the fact that he was a member of the Wen Family and was the CEO of the Wen Corporation which was the Wen Family’s business.

The Wen Corporation was initially in a dominant position. After all, Wen Corporation had invested more in the project than the Zhang Corporation. Hence, the Wen Corporation definitely had an edge.

However, the Zhang Corporation managed to gain dominance after manipulating Wen Haowen. Since they were extremely powerful, the members of the Wen Corporation had no choice but to bear with it.

His actions were to the great displeasure of the shareholders.

Secretary Cao said, “Missy, the Autumn series of jewelry pieces that you designed contributed to 65% of the Wen Corporation’s total sales revenue, which is 20% higher than that of last month’s. Such an impressive sales record is unprecedented in the Wen Corporation. Hence, the shareholders are very happy with you.”

Wen Xinya nodded. She had already heard about it from Old Mr. Wen.

A sullen expression formed on Secretary Cao’s face and he said, “The rules and regulations of the Wen Corporation state that designers would have the rights to set up their independent jewelry brand if their designs manage to contribute to 50% of the total sales revenue. Your designs have already met the requirements and hence, Old Sir has suggested during the shareholders’ meeting that we grant you the rights to set up your own brand. The shareholders have all approved of it. However, Wen Haowen strongly opposed to the idea.”

Despite having a calm and rational personality, Secretary Cao could not tolerate it either. Throughout all these years, Missy has been contributing greatly to the Wen Corporation and she already deserves the right to set up her own brand since half a year ago. Old Mr. Wen simply did not mention it yet because he felt that the time wasn’t right. Now... Missy has generated such an impressive sales record for the Wen Corporation. What rights does Wen Haowen have to object to it!?!

“What was the reason for his objection?” asked Wen Xinya, who was shocked to hear about that.

That explains why Grandpa was so eager about holding the jewelry exhibition. Grandpa just wanted to use the media and the Wen Corporation to bring me more reputation, so that Wen Haowen won’t have the chance to object.

Now that Wen Haowen held 23% of the Wen Corporation’s shares, he was indeed a major shareholder. If he were to object to the idea and gather the support of the other minor shareholders who were on his side, there would definitely be another conflict. Old Mr. Wen did not want to create unnecessary trouble.

Hence, Old Mr. Wen chose to implement that strategy.

Secretary Cao said, “He said that creating a new brand requires a lot of manpower, material resources, funds, and energy. He also said that the Wen Corporation already has a limited amount of funds because of the entertainment city project and that creating a brand for you will result in the foundation of the Wen Corporation being affected. Besides, you’ve already become the head designer of the Wen Corporation, which is an honorable feat, given your young age. He said that you’re not experienced enough to run your own brand.”

Although those reasons were not exactly convincing enough, they were rather logical and hence, no one could find any fault with him. Old Mr. Wen’s face grew sullen immediately.

Wen Xinya said slowly, “He sounded really reasonable, huh!?!”

By using the Wen Corporation’s foundation as a reason to pressurize Old Mr. Wen and oppose to the shareholders’ decisions, Wen Haowen sounded rather reasonable. Weren’t they afraid that the entertainment city project would affect the foundation of the Wen Corporation? That’s why they cooperated with the Zhang Corporation.

Most of the Wen Corporation’s fluid funds had been spent on the entertainment city.

Wen Xinya’s tender age also served as a good excuse for Wen Haowen. Although there were plenty of individuals who were talented in jewelry design, how many could go far? If the Wen Corporation really created a brand for her, she might implicate the Wen Corporation and do them damage if she were to face failure in the future.
