Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1093 - Please Guide Me Along

Chapter 1093: Please Guide Me Along

A whirlpool of emotions surged in Wen Xinya’s heart.
She did not expect Ning Shuqian to use the 3% of her shares to delve into the Wen Corporation’s core. It was something that even Old Mr. Wen definitely didn’t think of. She had no choice but to admit that Ning Shuqian had indeed pulled a brilliant move.
The current situation was disadvantageous for the entire Wen Corporation as well as the Wen Family. Although Ning Shuqian’s 3% shares seemed insignificant, they were enough to help Wen Haowen have the same authority as Old Mr. Wen once combined with his 20% shares.
Ning Shuqian had already planned her move to join the board a long time ago.
Her purpose was to give Wen Haowen some help and not to make it easier to facilitate the supervision of the entertainment city project like what Wen Haowen had claimed.
Wen Haowen now had 23% of the Wen Corporation’s shares, including the 3% that belonged to Ning Shuqian. Hence, he and Ning Shuqian managed to gain the upper hand, for the shareholders could no longer rival him. And since the directors took instructions from the shareholders, they could not stop Wen Haowen either.
Wen Xinya’s hands turned cold and she was filled with an inexplicable sense of disappointment.
So far, every move that the mastermind had made during the entertainment city project was precise and meticulous. It was as if they were bent on achieving their motive, thus making Wen Xinya feel extremely perturbed.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Ning Shuqian. I’m glad to be able to join the board and work alongside all the directors and shareholders. Please guide me along, everyone.”
Her tender and sultry voice was as light as a feather, and it was as if it had tickled everyone’s hearts gently.
“Director Ning, don’t stand on ceremony…” Everyone began applauding and gossiping fervently amongst themselves. It was unknown if they were genuinely welcoming her or just brushing her off perfunctorily.
“Yeah, you’re being too formal. We’re going to be working alongside each other. No such thing as guiding…”
Wen Xinya took a deep breath and looked up to see Ning Shuqian standing beside Wen Haowen.
Ning Shuqian was dressed in a black suit that had a cutting that resembled Chanel blazers. She wore a red shirt beneath the blazer, which had a fancy collar that made the suit look less stiff and more graceful. Ning Shuqian looked absolutely alluring.
Ning Shuqian was extremely smug and proud as well.
“I’m very glad to have received such a warm welcome from all of you. From now on, I’ll definitely prioritize the Wen Corporation’s interests,” Ning Shuqian said while glancing at all the directors with a sultry gaze. At last, she glanced at Wen Xinya with raised brows and electrifying eyes, clearly trying to brag about her success.
The applause in the office gradually came to a halt.
Ning Shuqian shifted her alluring gaze onto Wen Xinya and reached her hand out smilingly, her long and slender fingers appearing like jade. Her nails were nicely trimmed and painted with red nail lacquer. It was as if her fingers were enough to seduce someone.
Wen Xinya shifted her gaze onto the hand in front of her before looking at Ning Shuqian with her eyes glassed over, as if she were confused.
Wen Haowen frowned slightly and chided. “Xinya, you may be the heiress of the Wen Family, but Director Ning is both your stepmother and a director of the corporation. Don’t be rude.”
Ning Shuqian would still be of help to him in the future. Hence, he was upset with Wen Xinya’s nonchalance towards Ning Shuqian and decided to berate her.
The directors in the conference room were all aware of the feud between Wen Xinya and Ning Shuqian. Hence, they were all waiting to see a good show.
Ning Shuqian smiled radiantly before exclaiming, “Hello, Miss Wen!”
Wen Xinya probably didn’t expect that I’d come up with this, did she!?! I’ve become a director and undermined her.
Ning Shuqian had already noticed the look on Wen Xinya’s face as soon as she entered the conference room.
Wen Xinya’s face was as pale as a sheet and she seemed to be in disbelief. She could not hide her astonishment at all. Ever since Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family, Ning Shuqian had never seen such an expression on her face at all.
If it weren’t for the sake of seeing such an expression on Wen Xinya’s face, she wouldn’t have gone to the great lengths of trying to convince Wen Haowen to let Wen Xinya join the board meeting.
Wen Xinya recovered from the shock and shook Ning Shuqian’s hand. “Congratulations, Miss Ning.”
The room was full of directors and yet, Wen Xinya was the only person whom Ning Shuqian offered a handshake to. Clearly, she was out to make Wen Xinya feel uncomfortable and flaunt her success.
“Xinya, I heard that you’re going to represent Old Mr. Wen in all the future board meetings and shareholders’ conferences. You’re free to join as and when you please. Do guide me along,” Ning Shuqian said with a smug expression. She could feel the moisture of Wen Xinya’s palms which were also clammy. Clearly, Wen Xinya was distraught.
In Ning Shuqian’s eyes, Wen Xinya’s current smile was pathetic and useless. She felt that it was much more easy on the eyes compared to the sarcastic smirk that Wen Xinya would have on her face whenever she looked at her condescendingly.
“Don’t mention it, Miss Ning.” After a brief handshake, Wen Xinya nonchalantly grabbed a piece of tissue and wiped her hands gracefully. She meticulously cleaned every finger, as if there was nothing more important than that.
Her movements were graceful and elegant.
Ning Shuqian’s face grew sullen and she asked coldly, “Xinya, there has been a lot of misunderstandings between us. Now that the shareholders are all here, shall we bury the hatchet?”
Ning Shuqian’s sincerity came as a surprise to the shareholders, who were slightly impressed and glanced at her less nonchalantly.
Wen Xinya pressed her lips together without uttering a single word.
Her calm and mysterious attitude compelled Ning Shuqian into putting on a pitiful expression. “Xinya, are you still unwilling to forgive me? I don’t mean anything else. I just think that we should clear the misunderstandings between us since we’re going to work with each other in the future.”
Ning Shuqian’s words were reasonable and everyone agreed with her. They could only cooperate well when there were no misunderstandings.
