Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1348: Finally Plunged into the Trap!

The submissions for the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition had already closed and the results would only be released in the middle of the month. However, Wen Xinya had been paying close attention to the official website of the Milan International Jewelry Design Competition.

It was an upscale international jewelry design competition which had a different competition style from most contests. Instead of opening the competition to the world at large, contestants could only participate in the competition if they had received an invitation from the Milan World Expo. The Milan World Expo actually sent invitations to various renowned jewelry design schools in the world, after which the schools would relay the invitations to the students whom they deemed fit enough to join the contest. On the other hand, famous jewelry designers also had the right to recommend their students, or anyone whom they preferred, to join the contest.

To Wen Xinya’s knowledge, there were thousands of designs submitted during the contest. Clearly, the competition was stiff.

Secretary Cao especially visited her at the Mo Family home.

Wen Xinya knew that Secretary Cao must have another reason for visiting her.

Seeing that she was appearing radiant and energetic, he knew that she had been taking good care of herself lately. “How’s your ankle injury?”

Secretary Cao could not help but feel terrified about the incident of the falling chandelier. Fortunately, Wen Xinya managed to escape the ordeal and the Wen Family got to keep their heir.

Wen Xinya said, “It’s healing well, but I still have to rest for another few days before it can recover completely.”

Wen Xinya could already get out of bed and walk around freely, though she had to be careful with her movement and could only walk for a short period of time. Si Yiyan would restrict the area that she could pace around in. Apart from letting her walk around for a short period of time to aid blood circulation, he would make her stay in bed.

It was rather inconvenient for her to perform tasks because of her injury. However, Si Yiyan did not feel burdened at all and even enjoyed taking care of her. He would take care of all her needs, including her meals.

Secretary Cao said, “You’re recovering well.”

Most sprains would require at least a month to recover. Yet, Wen Xinya’s sprain healed within just two weeks. Hence, he was rather shocked by the rapid recovery. But he was actually glad about it.

Wen Xinya said, “I rested and recuperated well. That’s why it healed so quickly.”

Secretary Cao changed the subject by saying, “The Wen Corporation held a board meeting this morning and the topic of the meeting was about the heirloom sales strategy. Wen Haowen is in great support of the strategy and has even expressed his willingness to support it.”

Secretary Cao was greatly astonished because he almost thought that Wen Haowen was out of his mind. If he wasn’t well aware of the fact that the sales strategy would bring about great benefits to the Wen Corporation, he would have almost suspected that Wen Haowen had other intentions in mind.

“Wen Haowen isn’t that silly, after all!” said Wen Xinya, who had already expected that Wen Haowen would do that. By beating them at their own game, she managed to point the arrow at Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian, thus making them do something to stop the news from spiraling out of control.

The reports in the past two days were all revolving around Mo Yunyao’s designs. Although the news had already died down, Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian blew them up again.

Noticing how composed she was, Secretary Cao knew for sure that the change in Wen Haowen’s attitude definitely had something to do with Wen Xinya. However, he did not think too much of it. “That’s not all. Wen Haowen even suggested to the shareholders that you take charge of the sales strategy, Missy.”

That was what Secretary Cao was the most shocked about.

If the sales strategy cold be implemented successfully, it would help improve the Wen Corporation’s reputation and the Wen Corporation’s jewelry brand would be taken to greater heights. Wen Xinya would then have a stable position in the Wen Corporation.

He knew better than anyone else that Wen Haowen was afraid of Wen Xinya. Given how much he had been trying to undermine her in the past few years, how could he have given her that opportunity?

Not at all surprised, Wen Xinya asked, “What did the directors decide on?”

The power struggle in the Wen Family exposed the scandalous news of Wen Haowen harming his own flesh and blood and he had to stop the news from continuing to spread before it blew out of proportion. He also had to express his innocence as soon as possible.

It was as a good chance for him to do so by supporting her sales strategy.

The prideful Wen Haowen definitely wouldn’t miss it.

Everything was going according to Wen Xinya’s plan. Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen actively tried to bring more attention to Mo Yunyao’s masterpieces. Once everyone paid attention to the Wen Corporation, the Korean-Chinese Alliance wouldn’t dare to act rashly and hence, had to slow down the project.

Hence, Wen Haowen tried to shift everyone’s attention on the sales strategy, thus making it impossible for the Wen Family to continue meddling with the entertainment city. He thought that that would help quicken the progress of the entertainment city.

Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen have finally fallen into the trap!

She just had to wait for the results from Si Yiyan’s investigation.

Secretary Cao said, “The shareholders have expressed their support for his decision and they all think that you’re the best candidate for managing this proposal.”

Secretary Cao stared at Wen Xinya with a complicated mix of emotions. Throughout the past few years, he had been staying by Wen Xinya’s side and watching her grow. She had never once tried to intervene with the Wen Corporation’s management nor stabilize her position. He secretly felt worried for her.

However, he finally realized today, that Wen Xinya had already made a name for herself even though she did not intentionally do anything else.

Wen Haowen had never respected the board. Yet, he didn’t know that the directors were the ones who could influence the shareholders’ decisions. Controlling the directors would be akin to possessing great power in the Wen Corporation.

Ever since Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family, she had been making every move of hers carefully and conscientiously. While everyone was not noticing, she had already become fully-fledged.
