Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1324 - It's an Insult, So What?

Chapter 1324: It’s an Insult, So What?

Wen Xinya’s announcement of the sales policy was like a bolt out of the blue for everyone.
Due to the scuffle that Wen Xinya and Ning Shuqian had gotten into, everyone could understand how Wen Xinya felt when she revealed the heirloom sales strategy. Despite feeling miserable, Wen Xinya still stood tall and proud on the runway, which was to everyone’s shock.
Wen Haowen openly opposed to her suggestion and even threatened to strip Wen Xinya off her position as the successor of the Wen Corporation. However, Old Mr. Wen stood up for Wen Xinya and insisted on defending her. All that happened was rather shocking to everyone.
The matter highlighted the disharmony between Wen Haowen and Wen Xinya, as well as the strained relationship between him and Old Mr. Wen. It also revealed the various conflicts within the Wen Corporation. It was indeed rather juicy and newsworthy. The reporters obviously wouldn’t miss out on it.
However, the reporters were more concerned about which identity Wen Xinya was using to announce this matter!
Reason being, Wen Xinya may be the heiress of the Wen Family and the successor of the Wen Corporation who held 10% of its shares, her position was still not stable enough for her to make decisions on behalf of the Wen Corporation. In other words, she had no right to announce such a sales strategy in front of everyone without the permission of the shareholders.
Where did she get the confidence from?
Where did she get the boldness?
How dare she announce this on the spot!
Isn’t she afraid that she would face the objection of the shareholders and end up embarrassing herself?
Just as the reporters were about to question Wen Xinya, Old Mr. Wen slowly stepped forth, clad in an immaculate black suit which made him look daunting, formidable and austere.
Everyone who was surrounding the runway hurriedly parted to make way for him.
Old Mr. Wen walked onto the runway with a steady gait before saying, “I agree to my granddaughter Wen Xinya’s decision to make the sales of the jewelry targeted at those who are planning to make the pieces their heirloom. As the Chairman of the Wen Corporation and the biggest shareholder who holds 25% of the corporation’s shares, I hereby announce that this policy is to be implemented.”
In addition to Wen Xinya’s 10%, Old Mr. Wen held a total of 35% of the Wen Corporation’s shares, which was enough for them to overwrite the decisions of the other shareholders. Even if Wen Haowen colluded with the shareholders who supported him, they would not be able to defeat Old Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya.
Old Mr. Wen’s heart raced vigorously even though he remained composed on the surface.
Wen Xinya had indeed made a brazen and rash decision.
Everyone was astounded by his words, and they were in disbelief of his firmness.
Staring at Old Mr. Wen with a complicated look on her face, she murmured, “Grandpa, I…”
She had made such a brazen move, partly because she was confident that the shareholders would approve of her decision and partly because she knew that Old Mr. Wen trusted her.
If Old Mr. Wen did not trust her, she would have faced the opposition of the shareholders and, not only would her reputation be ruined, her position in the Wen Corporation would become unstable too.
By then, it would be difficult for her to clean up the mess.
Boiling with fury, Wen Haowen barked. “Father, how could you give in to Xinya’s nonsense? How can she just decide to sell the jewelry as heirlooms so casually? As the chairman, you’re responsible for the corporation’s wellbeing and the shareholders’ interests. How could you act so presumptuously?”
Wen Haowen was overwhelmed with exasperation.
He totally did not expect Wen Xinya to come up with something like that. She was clearly insulting them by making an issue out of Ning Shuqian’s theft of the jewelry.
She was insulting Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian together.
He could not tolerate the fact that she did not seek their permission before making such a decision. He felt that they were being atrocious by announcing the policy without even discussing it with the shareholders and directors. Did they even show any respect for Wen Haowen, the shareholders and the directors?
How audacious, he thought.
By supporting Wen Xinya’s decision, isn’t the old man insulting me too?
Anyone in Wen Haowen’s position would definitely get riled up, let alone Wen Haowen, who was their family member and was angst by nature.
Hence, he decided to stop Old Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya. Pretending to be heartbroken and disappointed, he wailed. “Father, you two… actually took the Wen Corporation’s interests as a joke…” He then took a deep breath and continued in a mellower tone, “Father, this is a serious matter, let’s discuss…”
Old Mr. Wen ignored his words of hypocrisy and instead stared at Wen Xinya calmly. “Actually, the exhibition was held especially for my granddaughter Wen Xinya who insisted on showcasing my daughter-in-law Mo Yunyao’s designs. She said that she had to witness her mother’s legendary works of art in person.”
Everyone was greatly taken aback by the revelation. They knew that the exhibition was held so that they could push for Wen Xinya’s brand to be established. Although she was the star of the exhibition, Mo Yunyao’s designs managed to steal the limelight.
Old Mr. Wen continued, “The exhibition of these designs is a reminiscent of Mo Yunyao. Since Xinya wants these jewelry pieces to land in the hands of those who will truly appreciate them, I naturally have to support my granddaughter’s decision because Yunyao is worth it.”
Old Mr. Wen sounded reasonable and he had also played the kinship card. Even Wen Haowen was rendered speechless. Who would dare to disregard Mo Yunyao’s efforts that were contributed to the Wen Corporation and the Wen Family?
If Wen Haowen were to oppose, he would be seen as a heartless man!
Wen Haowen grimaced in anger and stared at Wen Xinya menacingly.
