Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1874: To Deal a Fatal Blow to the Li Corporation

Si Yiyan frowned, clearly unsatisfied with her answer. “Do you mean that I’m not handsome when I’m awake?”

When he was awake, she did not usually take the initiative to kiss him like that.

Wen Xinya knew that she had dug a hole for herself and hurriedly said, “No such thing, you look even more handsome when you are awake.”

Afterward, to prove that she was speaking the truth, she pounced forward to kiss him on the lips. Then, she looked up coquettishly at him, as if looking for praise.

Si Yiyan laughed and hugged her tightly by the waist. “As an act of reciprocity...” He kissed her on the lips and held it for a long time.

He only let go of her when Wen Xinya almost suffocated.

Through her rapid breathing and squinted eyes, she could see how tempestuous her man was. She panicked. “The... the dinner is ready, let’s go and eat quickly before the food gets cold.”

She then nimbly slid out of his grip.

Si Yiyan laughed as he watched her escape from him like that. She could run away for now, but she could never escape him. Afterward, his gaze fell upon the sumptuous dishes in front of him and decided that he had to eat before he had the energy to do anything else.

At that moment, Wen Xinya did not know that she had already become meat on his chopping board for him to slaughter, and she still thought that she had managed to escape...

***

Wen Xinya’s deliberate plan to clear Gu Yihan’s name worked over time as negative news reported on her lessened in spite of all the controversy she was still going through. At the same time, it was announced that Wen Corporation would work together with Lanxin Corporation as business partners, aiding each other through the crisis and sharing profits with each other.

Their press conference was to be held three days later.

Once that news was published, the entire Country Z’s business community was shocked. Lanxin Corporation had rapidly expanded, far exceeding the rates of the top Gu Corporation and Wen Corporation had operated in Country Z for many years, and was one of the top 500 firms in the world. For these two major firms to work together would mean that no one else in Country Z could stand up against them.

This news brought attention away from Gu Yihan’s drug abuse issue.

At the same time, Wen Corporation made a strong recovery, letting the media see that they had done so well that caused them to stop reporting on Gu Yihan. They even had praises for her, talking about learning from her mistakes to become a greater person, and that she was extremely talented...

It could also be predicted what kind of reaction the masses would have towards such news, as their main sources were mostly the media and magazines.

Over this period of time, news of Wen Corporation dominated the city’s newspapers and magazines. Xia Ruya felt very agitated about it. “I never knew that Wen Corporation had such strong operations and management.”

After her plan to take over Wen Corporation failed, Wen Corporation had been operating away from the eyes of the public. Now, they had suddenly come back with such a piece of news. She was extremely shocked.

As a former daughter of the Wen Corporation, she had also never known that Wen Corporation had that much potential, till they could match up to the top Gu Corporation of the four major families.

She realized that Wen Family had never trusted her. On the surface, Old Mr. Wen raised her personally for twelve years, but she could not even compare to a small fry who was picked up halfway and had no relations other than blood ties, Wen Xinya.

This realization made her angry, and her hatred for the Wen Family deepened further.

Chu Jingnan was shocked as well. “Every corporation has its own hidden trump card, saved up for rainy days, to deal with the rapidly changing business world.”

However, Wen Corporation’s trump card was too well-hidden and too shocking.

This made him feel that Wen Family had already known that it would face such a crisis and had been preparing for a long time.

However, he did not reveal his speculations about how although Wen Haowen managed Wen Corporation for over twenty years, he made no progress and even dragged the corporation down multiple times.

For someone like Old Mr. Wen who had such great foresight, it was obvious that he would be guarded against someone like Wen Haowen.

Xia Ruya could not get rid of the anger in her heart, but there was no point crying over split milk at this point. She changed the topic. “I never thought that Wen Xinya would be so daring to publicly clear Gu Yihan’s name and even succeeded. I shouldn’t have spared her.”

She had planned to get rid of Gu Yihan.

However, Chu Jingnan advised her otherwise as she may still be of other use.

Therefore, she had planned to make use of Gu Yihan to work for Li Corporation through drugs after she had taken over Wen Corporation. However, her plan had clearly failed.

Chu Jingnan looked at Xia Ruya, who was looking pale and haggard. He turned away. “Gu Yihan is talented in design, and she’s still young with a lot of development potential. It’s expected that Wen Xinya would be unwilling to give up on her, thus her effort to whitewash her scandal.”

Wen Corporation was on an upward rise, so it was the best time to clear Gu Yihan’s scandal as no one dared to go against the Wen Corporation. Wen Xinya was so thoughtful in her actions and had always had such great foresight.

For Wen Corporation to recover rapidly after being dealt several blows by the Li Corporation for so many times, Gu Yihan would be a very important piece in the equation.

Xia Ruya’s expression was cold. “Li Corporation was mildly affected by Wen Corporation and Lanxin Corporation’s collaboration, but we were not severely affected. Although our share prices have dropped, it only dropped by a bit. This situation is really weird. I guess that over the next three days when both parties have reached an agreement, Li Corporation will receive a severe blow. I assume that Wen Xinya wants to make use of Lanxin Corporation to deal a fatal blow to Li Corporation.”

Li Corporation was not like Wen Corporation, which had strong reserves and management. They could take the blow of Li Corporation’s attacks and their money-laundering scandal. Li Corporation, on the other hand, had an unstable foundation and shallow management. Soon, they would be thoroughly exposed to Wen Corporation and Lanxin Corporation’s collaboration.

This was what Xia Ruya was most worried about.

Chu Jingnan’s expression changed. “I feel that we must carefully investigate the relationship between Wen Xinya and Lanxin Corporation. The two of them seem too close. Given that the two corporations have such different management styles, their sudden announcement to work together seems to just be for the Wen Corporation to re-establish their position and brings no benefits to Lanxin. Lanxin’s purchase of Wen Corporation’s shares earlier on was also suspicious.”

Xia Ruya thought so as well, but she said nothing while her expression darkened. She was deep in thought.
