Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1191: An Unkind Father, Taking Advantage of His Son

Speaking of Wen Haowen, due to the entertainment city’s investment project, Zhang Corporation’s heavy reliance on him, the shareholders’ strong support, and even the new treatment by the board of directors, his control over the Wen Corporation now had greatly exceeded his control over the Wen Corporation in the past. During this period, he was arrogant and enjoyed his power, not thinking that Old Mr. Wen would intervene in it.

Using his position as Chairman, the old man interfered in the management of the Wen Corporation. Further using his position as a major shareholder, he participated in the decision-making of the Wen Corporation, once again reconsidering it a faction of the Wen Corporation.

In just a few short days, the Wen Corporation had undergone rectification and reclassification, leaving him in full control.

In this regard, Wen Haowen was extremely annoyed.

At this moment, he finally realized the reason why as the president of Wen Corporation for over 10 years, even within the group, he held no authority, had to appeal to others, and was at the mercy of everyone else. This was because the old man had never truly let go of his control over the Wen Corporation.

He as the president was merely a chess piece in the old man’s game, allowing him better control over the Wen Corporation.

Wen Haowen shook with anger, his voice trembling. “An unkind father, taking advantage of his son. In Wen Zhihang’s eyes, does he really have zero fatherly affection for me as his son?”

His voice roared out with a thunderous rage, like a beast fighting himself, it was reduced to a final wail, unwilling and vicious.

Ning Shuqian lowered her head in the middle of brewing flower tea, pouring hot water into a porcelain bowl. The dried wild chrysanthemums flowed with the water, releasing a light, elegant fragrance. The petals mirrored her movements and slowly bloomed open.

The golden-yellow wild chrysanthemums stretched out in the cup, blooming slowly. She pushed the porcelain bowl in front of Wen Haowen and said, “Haowen, I learned a new flower tea brewing technique recently, it is quite elegant. Drink some tea and your anger will dissipate, and at the same time you can taste-test my skills.”

Ruya had been back for a while, yet they had yet to meet up or even speak on the phone. Not long after Ruya’s trip back, she had sent quite a lot of quality flower tea to her. She heard that the art of brewing scented flower tea was rather prevalent in Harbor City, and so she specifically learned it.

“I am not in the mood to drink tea.” Wen Haowen almost exploded from anger and waved his hand, causing the porcelain bowl to fall onto the ground, making a “clink” sound. The expensive porcelain bowl shattered into a million pieces, flying all over, and the tea splashed onto the floor.

Ning Shuqian gave him a cold glance, staring at the broken pieces on the floor and the mess caused by the tea. She said lightly, “Haowen, this is not worth getting angry over. You really cannot manage your anger.”

Whenever Wen Haowen ran into a problem, he only knew how to be angry. His bad temper and easily irritable temperament had not changed at all. The saying that a leopard could not change its spots was proven by this.

Wen Haowen’s chest rose and fell in agitation as he panted in anger. “With much hard work, I finally established my place and authority in the Wen Corporation, gaining more control over the Wen Corporation. I even started the entertainment city project, bringing success. Who knew that the old man would intervene and stir up things. All of our previous efforts are completely washed down the drain.”

Although he was angry at the old man for taking credit for his work, he was really only this angry due to losing control of the Wen Corporation which was gained through much hard work. Now that everyone knew about the existence of a Chairman, his position as the CEO no longer gave him any authority or power.

Ning Shuqian smiled. “Why are you so easily irritated. Old Mr. Wen might have regained authority over the Wen Corporation, suppressing you, but so what? The collaboration between Zhang Corporation and Wen Corporation was still instigated by you, the entertainment city project was also led by you, there is no way he can get involved. With the control of Zhang Corporation, Wen Corporation has no choice but to proceed with the entertainment city project. If not, the Wen Corporation will suffer major losses, more than what we can afford. Old Mr. Wen is a smart man, he will know what he has to do.”

She had suspected Old Mr. Wen and his intentions in rejoining Wen Corporation’s management so suddenly and thus sent someone to check up on his recent activities. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Even if Old Mr. Wen reclaimed control over the Wen Corporation, there was no way for him to take over the entertainment city project. Therefore, she was not worried at all.

After hearing this, Wen Haowen’s anger ebbed away, as if a basin of cold water was poured onto it. “You mean...”

Ning Shuqian lowered her head once again to remake the tea, her movements elegant and full of charm. “The project leader can only be you, and will only be you. Nobody can take that away. The old man is doing all the hard work for you, managing the Wen Corporation. This way, you can focus all your attention on promoting the entertainment city project. As soon as the project is over, you will reap all the credit for it as the leader. At that time, your interests will be closely linked with that of the shareholders, and the entire Wen Corporation will become yours.”

Everything else was secondary, only the entertainment city project had to be successfully completed. That was the most important.

Wen Haowen understood her point and smiled excitedly. “You are right. Isn’t the old man only able to suppress me as I have no authority in both the board of directors meeting and the shareholders meeting? Once the entertainment city project is successfully completed, this huge project will naturally make me the hero of the Wen Corporation. The shareholders will, of course, support me. Once I gain all that support, with my current shares, what can the old man do against me?”

He never thought about this. How foolish.

Ning Shuqian laughed. However, her smile held a hint of disdain. “That’s exactly what I meant.”

Wen Haowen was beyond excited, thinking, “Previously you said that the person supporting Wen Xinya is very likely the big boss of Jiayuan Club. She has never supported the entertainment city project, do you think she will try to undermine me?”

He was not afraid of Wen Xinya, but rather, the people behind Jiayuan Club.

Ning Shuqian let out a bitter and grueling laugh. “Wen Xinya can’t even handle herself now, why would she bother with the Wen Corporation? Also, although Wen Xinya has some involvement with Jiayuan Club, according to Madam Zhang’s investigation, we were just over-reacting, fussing over something small.”

Previously at a shareholders’ meeting, Wen Xinya pulled out the budget of the Jiayuan Club, causing her to panic. She called “that person” and after some investigation, it was revealed that although Wen Xinya had some connections in Jiayuan Club, according to the investigation, these connections were rather superficial and nothing too deep. Wen Xinya purposely pulled this move with Jiayuan Club to scare and trick them.

Now, with Ruya pining after her, Wen Xinya would have a hard time even protecting herself.
