Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1326: This Is a Threat and a Warning!

Wen Xinya stood beside Old Mr. Wen and stared at Wen Haowen quietly with a derisive look in her eyes.

In the past, Wen Haowen still had some shame and knew how to hide his greed. In fact, he would even swallow his pride in order to reap greater benefits. However, ever since the entertainment city project commenced, he received the support of the Zhang Corporation and began to drop his pretense. He started being hostile and unfilial towards Wen Xinya and Old Mr. Wen respectively, thus baring his true colors to everyone.

Most terrifyingly, he was rather self-righteous about it.

Old Mr. Wen’s words made Wen Haowen’s face grow petulant, though he knew better than to argue with Old Mr. Wen in public. He suppressed his anger and said, “Father, please be more rational. The Wen Corporation is not ready to take on such a top-grade sales strategy at this point.”

Just as Old Mr. Wen was about to speak, Wen Xinya asked smilingly, “Father, what makes you think that the Wen Corporation is not ready to take on such a top-grade sales strategy?”

Wen Haowen had completely ignored Wen Xinya’s presence just now. After hearing her words, he rebuked angrily. “I’m speaking to your grandfather, why are you interrupting? What do you know about the Wen Corporation’s interests?”

Wen Xinya naturally knew that Wen Haowen was just trying to take the opportunity to chastise her and assert dominance. However, she obviously wouldn’t give in. “Father, how could you say that!?! Since I was the one who raised this proposal, I have to be responsible for it and understand its shortcomings.”

Wen Haowen could not help but become speechless, though he obviously wouldn’t let Wen Xinya rebut him. He ignored her and turned to look at Old Mr. Wen. “Father, it has been 30 years since we founded the jewelry brand and we’re indeed considered an established brand in the local market. However, we are worlds apart compared to those century-old brands in the local and overseas markets! Since neither of those brands has implemented such a bold strategy, why should we compare ourselves to them?”

Wen Haowen’s words were rather convincing, in a way.

He felt that he was making sense too. Hence, he raised his brows and stared at Wen Xinya in a taunting manner.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “They didn’t dare to do that because they don’t have Mo Yunyao.”

Ever since Mo Yunyao passed away, there had been four Parisian Vogue International Jewelry Design competitions which shot several designers to fame. However, none of them could compare to Mo Yunyao.

Not only was Mo Yunyao the undisputed champion of the Parisian Vogue International Jewelry Design competition, but she was also the youngest and most outstanding contestant in history.

Wen Xinya’s words made Wen Haowen feel incredibly angst. He barked. “Mo Yunyao, Mo Yunyao, she’s already dead!”

What’s the point in wasting so much effort on promoting a dead person?

Since she was already dead, she already posed no value to the Wen Corporation. Hence, what was the point of holding on to her works?

Wen Xinya said coldly, “My proposal is going to have sentimental value, precisely because Mother has passed on.”

Wen Xinya had witnessed the amazement and fascination that Mo Yunyao’s designs had spurred in the hearts of the guests. That was also the reason she dared to raise such a proposal.

Wen Haowen was speechless and indignant. At last, he said, “This type of sales strategy requires an immeasurable amount of manpower, resources, money, and energy. If we don’t succeed, who’s going to be responsible for the losses?”

Wen Xinya sneered. “Father, you’re the CEO of the Wen Corporation. How could you say something so illogical and silly? All types of investments and businesses involve risks. It’s worth taking the gamble if the gains outweigh the risks.”

Wen Haowen turned red, for he knew that he sounded rather silly too.

Old Mr. Wen chuckled before saying sternly, “Since I’ve already made up my mind, I won’t go back on my word. You don’t have to say anything else, nor do you have to intervene. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that your entertainment city project will go on successfully.”

It was a threat and a warning.

It was a must to implement the sales strategy of selling the jewelry pieces as a heirloom, and if Wen Haowen were to have the audacity to intervene, Old Mr. Wen would definitely disrupt the entertainment city project too.

Wen Haowen stared at Old Mr. Wen in disbelief, with his eyes wide open. “Father... you... you actually threatened me!”

So what if he was feeling exasperated? At this point, no mistake was to be made in the development and he could not afford to lose the entertainment city project.

He kept his eyes fixed on Old Mr. Wen as resentment flowed out of them.

Noticing that something was amiss, Ning Shuqian hurriedly rushed forward and pulled him away. Regardless of what happened, the most important thing now was the entertainment city project. Given Old Mr. Wen’s scheming mind and tricks, he would definitely stop the project from advancing smoothly if he wanted to.

After Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian went away, Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, “Grandpa, I’m sorry. I acted presumptuously!”

She had acted too rashly. As the heiress of the Wen Family and the future successor of the Wen Corporation, she had to give Old Mr. Wen an explanation, even if her sales strategy was highly profitable.

Staring at her with a complicated expression, he said, “You’ve indeed acted presumptuously and brazenly today, but you didn’t neglect the Wen Corporation’s interests. Hence, you weren’t wrong.”

Ever since Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family home, she had been taking him by surprise, time and time again. Whenever he thought that he had already understood her well enough, she would pull another shocking move which made him feel like he didn’t know her at all.

Old Mr. Wen felt that he had always been underestimating her.

After having received Old Mr. Wen’s affirmation, Wen Xinya felt as if a boulder had been lifted off her chest. “I was still too rash.”

She did not think about the heirloom sales strategy beforehand at all. The idea had only popped up in her mind when she found the set of jewelry in Ning Shuqian’s purse. She flew into a rage when she heard Wen Haowen undermining her mother’s last masterpieces and hence, decided to raise the proposal in a moment of anger and recklessness. However, she did not regret it at all.

She wanted her mother’s masterpieces to land in the hands of those who truly treasured them.

She would not allow anyone to stain or dirty them.

Besides, she had other plans in mind.

Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “It’s a good move to sell them as heirlooms. You’re very brave. Don’t worry, the Wen Family will fully support you in implementing this sales strategy.”
