Ever since Lanxin Corporation’s health supplements went on sale, its sales volumes had been continuously rising, and its share prices had been increasing as well. This also improved the sales for its healthcare supplements and also boosted development in its real estate. The future was looking bright for them.
“Xu-er, why did you call me today?”
Wen Xinya leaned back on her chair, because the moment she received Xu Zhenyu’s call, she let down her guard and all of her trained image, relaxing herself to cool down.
Over some time, because she was busy and so was Xu Zhenyu, they were not in much contact.
“Yo, yo, you are now the famous Chairman Wen. Such a busy person, I won’t dare to call you for nothing.” Xu Zhenyu looked at the cars and people that were passing by him, and he was still back-facing the cafe he was in earlier on.
He did not know how, but he had a sudden urge to give her a call.
“When did you learn to mock me! No matter how busy I am, when did I ever reject your call?” Wen Xinya said unhappily, but she still had a smile on her face.
Xu Zhenyu did not continue to banter with her. “How’s your work been recently? Now, you not only have to run the Wen Corporation as the Chairman, but you still have to take care of Lanxin Corporation. How are you coping?”
After Lanxin Corporation was listed, they made move after move, and how much of their legendary sales volume was due to her strategy and tactics?
At the same time, the Wen Corporation had yet to recover from the losses it suffered, and it was not easy to be in control of the board of directors while answering to the shareholders.
“It’s okay. Wen Corporation has Secretary Cao as well as my Grandpa to run the show. I don’t have to worry. And although Lanxin Corporation was only recently listed, the company’s management and operations have mostly stabilized, and things have been easier on me.”
Soon after Lanxin Corporation was founded, Si Yiyan taught her that the below average put in hard work, the average person used their wits, and the best made use of other talented people to work for them.
As the person in control, the most important thing to learn was to let go of control! To keep all the control and rights to yourself was tiring on both your mind and body, and it was the method of a below average worker.
The most important skill of a manager was to know and make use of the skills and talents of the people under him.
Therefore, other than some strategic matters, other operations in the company had almost all been delegated to Yan Shaoqing and Zheng Yifan. Among the two of them, one was observant and analytical, while the other was a great manager with good decision-making skills. They both excelled in what they did, which made her feel assured.
“That’s good. Although work is important, you must take care of yourself too.” Xu Zhenyu gently reminded.
Wen Xinya was a hard worker, and she was incisive as well.
Thinking about how much she had to do to be where she was today, he felt a little sorry for her.
He sighed with regret. In her life’s most challenging parts, he was not with her and did not even help her at all.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Xinya sighed a little.
Xu Zhenyu was talented with so much potential, and the news that the Xu Family was arranging blind dates for him was no secret in the upper-class society.
She used to pay attention to it, but Xu Zhenyu did not seem interested in having a family, and she lost interest in following up with his blind dates.
She only hoped that in this world, Xu Zhenyu could escape his fate and find his own happiness.

Leaving Lanxin Corporation, Wen Xinya went to Mo Family and talked to her Grampy in the study.
Old Mr. Mo looked at her determinedly. “Are you really sure about your decision?”
In the blink of an eye, Xinya had already returned to the Wen Family for ten years.
Only recently did he truly let go of his worries for his granddaughter and felt proud of what she had accomplished.
Wen Xinya nodded. “I’ve thought it through. Such an arrangement can not only help with the Wen Family’s reputation by not avoiding the topic of Jinyu being an illegitimate child, but this can give Jinyu a better future as well.”
Grandpa’s agreement to host the baby shower was also due to her request, and she naturally must make plans for it.
Old Mr. Mo calmly said, “Since you already made your mind, then you no longer have to discuss it with me. This is the Wen Family’s matter, I won’t interfere.”
Even when Yunyao died, he did not interfere when outsiders stuck their hands into the Wen Family. Now, he had less reason to get involved.
Grampy’s attitude did not surprise Wen Xinya. “I just felt like listening to your opinion.”
Grandpa was calm, open-minded, and not calculative, truly the mark of a gentleman.
Old Mr. Mo sighed. “You’re morally upright and have a kind and soft heart, what else could I say? The fact that you can let go of Wen Jinyu’s status and treat him genuinely, and let go of your obsession with the Wen Family and see things objectively, is what makes me most happy.”
At least now, after such a long time, he could finally answer to Yunyao.
Wen Xinya made a decision in her heart and then changed the topic. “Grandpa, I’ve been really busy with Lanxin Corporation recently and haven’t had much time to spend with you. I’m free today, so why not play a few rounds of chess?”
Grandpa’s health was not bad the past few years, but he was aging indeed, and she hoped that she could spend more time with him and be filial to him.
Therefore, she planned to move in to stay with the Mo Family for a few days.
Anyway, the things that she had to do was just moving on to the next phase. Also, the Parisian International Fashion Jewellery Design Competition was just less than a year away, and she should take the opportunity to learn jewelry design.
Old Mr. Mo looked at her. “If you lose, just get Ninth Si to come to play with me and win.”
When Xinya was too busy. Ninth Si would occasionally come to chat, drink tea and play chess with him, and Ninth Si lost more than he won, but he soon realized that most of the time when Ninth Si won, he won for the sake of his granddaughter.
Wen Xinya could not help but say, “How can that be, do I look like a sore loser?”
After she said it, she felt a little guilty.
Old Mr. Mo placed his teacup onto the coffee table and simply gazed at her.
“Hehe, Si Yiyan’s chess skills were taught by you personally, and winning you occasionally simply means that you went easy on him.” Wen Xinya then hurriedly drank the tea in front of her.
The tea was slightly cool and had a bitter taste to it.
She did not mean it, but it was just that she lost too terribly to Grandpa, and she occasionally ranted to Si Yiyan about it.
Old Mr. Mo’s eyes twinkled with laughter. “That’s enough, don’t be a bootlicker. Don’t treat me as an old man that’s easy to trick!”
It was clear that his chess skills had long exceeded his, and he still plotted and tried his hardest to lose to him.
On the other hand, her chess skills were not as good, but she still liked to play with him, and when she lost, she was sore about it.
Wen Xinya hurriedly said, “That’s not the case. You are still healthy and energetic and look young, not old at all. We won’t dare to trick you.”
Grandpa’s chess skills were great indeed and were a match to Si Yiyan’s. For Si Yiyan to win Grandpa was not an easy task.
Old Mr. Mo looked at his coquettish granddaughter and felt pleased.
Over these years, she had not let what she had been taught to go to waste.
