Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1799: Wen Corporation Gave up on Gu Yihan?

In the business world, things and circumstances could change rapidly and drastically.

Following the Wen Corporation’s fall after being taken down by the Li Corporation, the masses also took advantage of the Wen Corporation’s dire state to fulfill their own greedy needs.

People would really take full advantage of the situation.

Wen Corporation had been founded for so many years and had been in control of much of Country Z’s luxury goods market, its name was synonymous with the industry already. On the surface, it seemed like the Wen Corporation was highly popular, but secretly, many people were jealous of them and wanted a share of their pie.

Otherwise, Xiao Corporation would not have suffered heavy losses to the Wen Corporation when they tried to acquire Ai Shang Group. They became the Wen Corporation’s stepping stone for no good reason. They used to be one of the four big family corporations but had now fallen to just a lower-class family, now completely removed from the city’s upper-class society. Their former glory and reputation were all gone.

Amongst the elites, everyone respected the Wen Family’s reputation and power and hence, did not mess with the Wen Corporation.

However, it was now a different situation. Wen Corporation and Li Corporation were in intense conflict and had suffered losses already. Many were taking advantage of their troubles to take a piece of the Wen Family’s pie.

Wen Corporation’s fashion industry department completely collapsed, and the design department was in a complete mess. Wen Xinya attempted to manage this crisis and took over control of the department, which made her extremely busy over the past couple of days.

“Dong dong dong—” Sounds of someone knocking on the door sounded from outside.

Wen Xinya was busy browsing through the design drafts that the department had just submitted and did not even look up. “Come in!”

An elegant lady of about twenty-three to twenty-four walked in shyly “Miss, I would like to ask you. What happened to Teacher Gu? Did Wen Corporation give...”

Wen Xinya lifted her head suddenly and glared at her. “What’s your name?”

After Gu Yihan was embroiled in all these scandals, the entire design department kept quiet and avoided talking about it. She was the first who dared to ask her about Gu Yihan’s situation face to face.

The young lady kept quiet for a while, but then managed to gather the courage. “My name is Bai Ling, and I have been in the Wen Corporation’s design department for two years. In the past, Teacher Gu taught me a lot about fashion design. She is a good person. She did a lot for the Wen Corporation. Wen Corporation cannot... cannot...” Under Wen Xinya’s sharp gaze, she closed her eyes and she said loudly, “Cannot give up on her.”

Afterward, she lowered her head depressingly and did not even dare to look at Wen Xinya.

She knew that everyone in the fashion department could only care about themselves at this point and no one dared to mention Gu Yihan. However, she overheard that the Wen Corporation was going to give up on Teacher Gu. Panicked, she went to find Miss Wen without caring about much else.

For her to say such things to Miss Wen, she might even lose her job.

Wen Xinya revealed a smile on her face. “Who said that the Wen Corporation was going to give up on her? Now that this issue is so hotly debated, we can only let her go through the proper procedures. Right now, the Wen Corporation’s representative lawyer has already given enough bail money to the police, but we must still wait for them to detain her for a while. As for how long she will be detained for, we can only do our best.”

Gu Yihan had taken on the role of the lead designer in the Wen Corporation for over ten years, but not many people had shown concern for her. This made Wen Xinya feel disappointed that people could be so cold.

Ultimately, a shy but genuine Bai Ling was the only one who ended up asking. This made her admire her just a little bit more.

Bai Ling looked at Wen Xinya optimistically with eyes filled with admiration.

Miss Wen was her idol, so when she heard that the Wen Corporation wanted to give up on Teacher Gu, she daringly came over to ask her that. She did not expect that Miss Wen would be such a nice person.

Wen Xinya shook her head and laughed, then suddenly realized. “Oh yes, you have been in the Wen Corporation for over two years and should have submitted something already. Why are none of your designs part of the drafts?”

If she could catch the attention of Gu Yihan, then her talent for designing should not be too bad and the standards acceptable. It was impossible for it to not be chosen.

Today, Wen Corporation’s fashion market had completely collapsed. So, the Wen Corporation could not sit there, unmoving.

Wen Corporation had a huge market share in the fashion market, and Li Corporation naturally would not be able to take over all of it immediately. Hence, the Wen Corporation still had a chance of regaining their market share.

Bai Ling’s face darkened. “The group leader said that my designs were not suitable, so they weren’t chosen.” Afterward, her eyes sparkled and she clenched her fists in a moment of encouragement. “However, I will work hard.”

Wen Xinya simply said, “Show me your designs.”

Bai Ling looked down at the stack of designs that she was holding, which was just rejected by her group leader earlier on. She felt uneasy about it but still passed them.

Wen Xinya looked at it and became dazzled.

Indeed, Gu Yihan had a good eye for talent. Although her designs did not look professional enough, she was spirited. Her talent was shocking and was ahead of her time. In terms of design principles, she was not far behind Gu Yihan.

Such a good design, and yet it was not selected. Wen Xinya more or less began to understand the rules of the game.

Gu Yihan had led the fashion department for many years and was the lead designer. Her talents must have suppressed the chances of many other designers under her, making it hard for them to shine.

Therefore, they would naturally be unhappy about Gu Yihan over time.

Today, when something bad happened to Gu Yihan, these people finally had the chance to shine and would naturally fight amongst themselves, not giving any chance to a newcomer.

Bai Ling was slightly nervous. “Miss, I...”

Wen Xinya cut her off. “Your design is very spirited, but the style is not mature yet. If you have time after work every day, I could teach you some knowledge and techniques. But you cannot let anyone else know.”

Wen Corporation desperately needed new talents that stand out amongst the masses now. Bai Ling was innocent with spirited designs and was definitely a good choice.

However, it all boiled down to Bai Ling’s own decision.

Bai Ling was stunned. Her eyes opened wide and she happily asked, “For... for real?”

Maybe nobody else knew, but she had casually raised to Teacher Gu that Miss Wen not only had a keen eye and talent for jewelry design but also had a knack for fashion.

If not to maintain how low key she wanted to be, her name and reputation would have been really good.

To be able to get her guidance and mentoring was something that Bai Ling had always wanted.

Wen Xinya felt that she was someone who could be taught. “Go back to work now. And don’t make such brash moves again.”

Although she admired Bai Ling, her brash questioning today had to be dealt with, showing her that she was still the one in control.
