“CEO of the Wen Corporation gets thrown out of the Jiang Corporation Office Tower!!!”
When the news reports of Wen Haowen being thrown out of the Jiang Corporation office tower were released together with some photos, an uproar broke out amongst the public.
The news resulted in a further plunge in the Wen Corporation stocks.
Wen Xinya turned pale the instant that she read the reports on the newspapers. “Wen Haowen is such a good-for-nothing! He actually gave others the chance to humiliate him. He’s utterly disgraced the Wen Family and brought shame to the Wen Corporation!”
Si Yiyan poured her a glass of water and said, “Simmer down. It’s not worth getting angry because of someone like that. He can’t represent the Wen Family. Everyone is just going to make him a laughing stock and forget about him soon enough. Everyone knows that Wen Haowen is only running the Wen Corporation on the surface and your grandfather is the one who’s really managing everything.”
Wen Xinya picked up the newspapers on the table and scrunched them up into a ball. She said coldly, “He’s definitely not worth my anger. However, him going to the Jiang Corporation benefits me in some ways, actually.”
Si Yiyan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Wen Xinya said with an icy cold look in her eyes, “Since Jiang Shaofeng has made the first move, he’d better not blame me for paying him back in his coin!”
Wen Xinya switched on her mobile phone and checked the stock market for Ai Shang Group’s stocks, only to discover that they had already plunged beyond 200 points. It was the worst decline ever. “Have you noticed the latest stocks of Ai Shang Group?”
Si Yiyan said, “I haven’t, but there has been relevant reports about it in the newspapers. The Ai Shang Group stocks have hit an all-time low.”
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I knew it. A busy person like you would never notice a small company like Ai Shang Group! I hold lots of Ai Shang Group’s stocks before, and I’m still buying some more now.”
Ever since she gained financial freedom, she had been using her excess money to purchase Ai Shang Group stocks and now owned quite a fair share of them.
After checking Ai Shang Group’s stock index on his mobile phone, Si Yiyan said, “The Ai Shang Group stocks are declining so tremendously, and they’re predicted to follow a steep decreasing trend. You’re just going to make a loss by purchasing so many units of their stocks. Tell me the truth… what are you planning to do?”
Wen Xinya leaped into Si Yiyan’s embrace and looked at him smilingly. “Si Yiyan, would you like to play an interesting game?”
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Si Yiya asked, “What game?”
Wen Xinya put on a beautiful and alluring smile. “Would you like to become a stock market stopper?”
Having understood what she meant, Si Yiyan agreed. “If I can earn money, why not? I’m getting married very soon, too. In order to ensure that you can be dressed in Henry Poole & Co. apparel everyday, don sparkling jewels from Cartier, as well as other precious gems and jade jewelry, I must work hard to earn more money. I should be able to afford some clothes and jewelry for you.”
Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “You’re making me sound so high maintenance.”
Si Yiyan chuckled and said, “You’re intending to make me intervene and battle against the Xiao Family and snatch the Ai Shang Group stocks. That way, the Ai Shang Group stock prices will definitely increase, and by the time the Xiao Family decides to sell the stocks while they’re still worth something, they’d lose all the money that they had invested in the Ai Shang Group stocks. You want them to incur a major loss, am I right?”
Gently pinching his chest, Wen Xinya exclaimed, “Yes! You’re right!”
Si Yiyan sighed. “If we wait until the Xiao Family starts acquiring the Ai Shang Group to buy the Ai Shang Group stocks, we’d definitely arouse the suspicion of the Xiao Family and the plan will fall through. You’ve long set your sights on the Ai Shang Group stocks and decided to purchase their stocks slowly and unassumingly. The Xiao Family will definitely be destroyed by you.”
Wen Xinya sneered. “The powerful and wealthy Xiao Corporation will definitely acquire an established cosmetic brand in order to delve into the luxury goods market. Once they do, they’ll start revamping the brand and promote it. Not only will they get to keep the original consumer group, but they’ll also get to secure a footing in the market as well.”
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Cosmetics only make up 20% of the Wen Family’s businesses. You’ve made the right guess about the Xiao Family making use of cosmetics as a gateway to the luxury goods market. Once they build a cosmetic empire, they’ll continue to vie with the Wen Family in other areas.”
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I’ve already started looking out for the established local cosmetic brands after I heard about the Xiao Family wanting to delve into the luxury goods market. I finally laid my eyes on Ai Shang Group because they enjoy a good reputation and most importantly, they have a wealthy consumer group. Hence, Ai Shang Group is the Xiao Family’s best choice.”
Si Yiyan held her hand and complimented. “You’re really something, huh? You’ve already started making plans since then. I reckon the number of stocks you have now is enough to make a huge dent in the Xiao Family’s pocket.”
Wen Xinya scoffed. “It serves the Xiao Family right for crossing the line and stepping onto our territory. They ought to focus on developing and expanding their own electronics business. I must teach them a lesson so that they can learn how to stay in their own lane.”
Si Yiyan asked, “When do you plan to take action?”
Wen Xinya said, “Tonight! I believe they’ll panic when they wake up tomorrow morning and realize that there’s an obstacle in their plan to acquire Ai Shang Group. However, you don’t have to really go against the Xiao Family. You just need to scare them.”
Si Yiyan burst into laughter and asked, “Do you really have that much faith in me? The Xiao Family is a scheming bunch. How are you so sure that I can scare them?”
Pouting her lips, Wen Xinya said, “No matter how scheming they are, they’re no match for the despicable you.”
Si Yiyan caressed her hair and asked, “Are you praising me or insulting me?”
Wen Xinya exclaimed, “It’s a compliment, of course!”
Si Yiyan raised her chin gently and said, “Let your actions do the talking. Besides, I’m giving you so much help this time. Shouldn’t you be thanking me properly?”
“How do you want me to thank you, then?” she asked flirtatiously, blowing her alcoholic breath onto his face. Wen Xinya blushed shyly and her heart skipped a beat. She licked Si Yiyan’s lips gently and murmured, “Like this…” She continued to brush her lips against his. “Or this?”
“Have you learned the art of seduction?” Si Yiyan asked, tightening his grip around her waist. Wen Xinya leaned close towards him and pressed her lips against his coquettishly.
