Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1915 - Living In Bliss But Not Realizing It

Old Mr. Li in Harbor City had sold all his shares in the Li Corporation to the Wen Corporation. News of the Wen Corporation taking over the entire Li Corporation hit the news and caused a media frenzy.

Everyone was shocked at this news.

The Li Family and the Wen Family were at odds. Everyone knew this. No one expected for Old Mr. Li to set aside his pride and take the initiative to approach the Wen Family. It was also completely unexpected that the Wen Family could look beyond their disdain to accept Old Mr. Li’s suggestion.

Indeed, in the business world, there was no such thing as an eternal nemesis. Only profits and self-interest were constants.

In taking over the Li Corporation, the Wen Corporation would gain the sales and operations channels that the former had accumulated over its long history. This would become a crucial factor for the Wen Corporation to foray into the global luxury market.

And Li Corporation was facing the threat of bankruptcy. If they didn’t quickly resolve their dire straits, they would be torn apart by the other enterprises in Harbor City and be left utterly defeated and shamed.

A mutually beneficial relationship could be used to describe the Li Corporation and the Wen Corporation.

"Grandpa, Li Corporation’s base is still in Harbor City. So we need to choose a suitable person to handle the matters over there. Is there anyone you wish to recommend?"

Harbor City had already developed into a global market. The Wen Corporation had always wished to break into the luxury brands market in Harbor City and had some operations over there. But competition in Harbor City was too intense and the Wen Corporation was unable to link up with a substantial sales channel. As a result, they had always been rather ineffective over there.

Taking over the Li Corporation was a great opportunity for the Wen Corporation to launch a major foray into Harbor City’s luxury brands market.

On top of that, Harbor City’s luxury brands market was a direct link to the global platform, and successfully breaking into Harbor City’s luxury sector would be a major boost to the Wen Corporation’s efforts to enter the global market.

Old Mr. Wen already had a candidate in mind, but he still asked Wen Xinya, "The person we are sending over to Harbor City will have to bear the heavy responsibility of the Wen Corporation’s drive to break into the global luxury brands market. Not only must this person be extraordinarily capable, but he must also be bold and daring. Most importantly, he must be loyal to the Wen Corporation. Without any hesitation, who is the first candidate that comes to your mind?"

Now, as long as it was a major strategic decision concerning the Wen Corporation, he would always ask Wen Xinya for her opinion first.

Wen Xinya smiled. "What does Grandpa think of Xue Yishan? Not only is he extraordinarily capable, but he is also already rather accomplished. Most importantly, he’s a straightforward person with a certain sense of dignity and pride. I feel that we would be suppressing his talents if we keep him here under the Wen Corporation. He’s more suited for a wider platform, which will better accommodate a person of his caliber."

Xue Yishan was an ambitious person, but he could also endure loneliness.

He was prideful, but he also knew when to hold back.

In the business world, people of such caliber would definitely wish to reach for the stars in the future. As a result, she had no intention of suppressing him but planned to provide him an even great and wider platform, so as to reward him for his astute decision to pledge loyalty to her.

Old Mr. Wen laughed out loud. "Xue Yishan is indeed a great talent. Both you and I hold the same opinion."

Actually, Xinya had let Xue Yishan participate fully in the acquisition of the Li Corporation, giving him free rein over the most important tasks. He could already guess her intentions, and as he himself did admire Xue Yishan, he naturally had no objections to his granddaughter’s wishes.

Moreover, apart from Xue Yishan, there was indeed no better candidate within the Wen Corporation.

Cao Zixing was getting on in his years and was not suited for overseas postings.

He was also a member of the board and there might be conflicts of interest if they assigned him to that position.

Wen Xinya smiled. "In that case, I will immediately make the necessary arrangements. We need Xue Yishan to assume leadership at the Li Corporation in Harbor City as soon as possible."

They could not afford any delays in this matter.

Old Mr. Wen nodded. He raised his brows slightly as he gazed at his granddaughter. "Not only have you grown thinner as of late, but you also seem much more haggard. The Wen Corporation still has me to see to things, you don’t need to push yourself so hard. Let me handle all work matters over this period, while you get a good rest."

For some unknown unreason, Xinya had more or less invested all her time and energy into work during this period of time. She appeared thinner and weaker day by day, and his heart ached tremendously for her. He had advised her previously and she had verbally agreed, but then it would be all thrown out the window in the next moment.

Wen Xinya smiled. "Alright!"

Discovering that she had a near-zero chance at conceiving was a major blow to her. She was still unable to come to terms with this fact and needed some time to readjust her mental and emotional state.

She had used work to numb herself and to keep Si Yiyan at bay. She had turned off her mobile phone and refused to reply to any of his messages. This was not a wise move.

Old Mr. Wen didn’t know the reason behind it all and sighed. "Xinya, I hoped that you will take over the Wen Corporation, but not to pressurize you or to have you work so hard. I just think that Ninth Si has such a high position in life, and although you have Lanxin Company, the disparity between your statuses are as wide as heaven and earth. I just wanted to give you a bit more leverage. Although it will still not be an exact match, at least you will have more standing power."

One should never aspire to marry above their own station.

Many people wished to marry into a wealthy family, but of all the common folks who managed to enter an upper-class family, how many gained happiness and respect?

The divide between wealth, status, power, and position, apart from those who put in extraordinary efforts to fill the gap, the ending was always a sad and bitter one.

Just take Zhou Huiyan. She married into a wealthy family and only managed to attain her current status and gain recognition via true talent and sheer hard work.

Wen Xinya was moved after realizing Grandpa’s kind intentions. "Grandpa, I understand."

Grandpa was right.

One should never aspire to marry above their own station. This age-old adage existed no matter which generation, especially among the upper-class society.

Even if Si Yiyan didn’t mind, what about her?

She had previously thought about the issue that she was not worthy of Si Yiyan. At one point in time, the goal of being on par with him had even been the motivation behind her fight to become more powerful.

It was all rather contrary to common sense.

But in this world, which great romance was free of nonsensical yearnings? It would not be love if one was always behaving practically.

She understood that Grandpa was planning all this for her own good.

Old Mr. Wen patted her hand. "I don’t have any other hidden reason for doing this. Don’t think too much. Although I don’t like that Ninth Si, I must admit that he is true to you."

Detecting that his earlier words might have provoked something in Wen Xinya, Old Mr. Wen hurriedly tried to explain.

Even Old Mr. Mo approved of Ninth Si, what else could he say? Anyway, Ninth Si was indeed more true to Xinya than anyone else.

Wen Xinya felt a bit choked. "Grandpa, don’t worry. No matter what, I will be fine."

She never expected Grandpa to take such efforts to plan for her future. She was very touched and full of gratitude. She thought of how much she had agonized over her low chances of conceiving and felt that she was already very blissful but never realized it. In this world, she already had all that she could ever want. To ask for more would be a greedy and selfish act.
