Chapter 1291: Love Pollutes the Heart
After Si Yiyan opened the door of the apartment, Wen Xinya entered and headed into the room while Si Yiyan followed closely behind her.
Just as Wen Xinya was about to change into her slippers, Si Yiyan hugged her from behind and asked, “Did you miss me?”
Wen Xinya suddenly felt a little suffocated by Si Yiyan’s overwhelming masculine scent. She subconsciously raised her head, exposing her beautiful and delicate neck which glowed beneath the dim and yellow light.
“Quick, tell me!” he exclaimed in a shrilling voice.
Wen Xinya pressed her back against the cold hard wall and answered, “Yes!”
Si Yiyan bit her ear again and said, “I miss you too.”
…
Wen Xinya woke up to a pitch dark room. She switched on the bedside lamp and realized that it was already seven in the evening, time for dinner.
She carefully moved her body which was sore and weak. However, she did not feel any particular discomfort. She could not help but wonder if her stamina and endurance had improved over time because of Si Yiyan’s endless desires.
Wen Xinya hurriedly shook her head in a bid to get rid of those corrupted thoughts.
She then glowered at the man beside her.
The dim, orange light of the bedside lamp shone on his face, making his features look even more pronounced and cold. Old Mr. Mo once said that Si Yiyan was born to live a short life. At some point, she felt that way too and hence, was extremely terrified.
A poet from the Tang Dynasty once said that love stains the heart!
A man like Si Yiyan was like a tossed stone that raised a thousand ripples in her life. He had disrupted her peace and stained her once-pure heart. Despite knowing that she would never be able to control him, she still loved him nonetheless!
“How could I not be happy about seeing the man I love?” – that was the first thing that came to Wen Xinya’s mind when she saw him in school today.
Si Yiyan suddenly pulled Wen Xinya into his naked embrace. While biting her ear, he said sluggishly, “The wind and rain pour in the dark while the chickens coo endlessly.”
It was a poetic description of determination despite adverse situations.
Wen Xinya laughed and thought to herself, Si Yiyan is the best at whispering sweet nothings. He used the poem as a reference to express his love and affection for me that will persist and never change regardless of the situation.
Si Yiyan kissed her lips gently and said, “You ruined my clothes just now, so you have to compensate me with two shirts in return. I want them to be designed and handcrafted by you.”
He was not the only one who was eager just now.
Wen Xinya gritted her teeth and retorted. “I only ripped two buttons off. I’ll just sew them back on. How is it ruined?”
She could not help but blush in embarrassment, for Si Yiyan was obviously just trying to remind her of how eager, impatient and aroused she was earlier on.
Si Yiyan said, “It’s ruined. Don’t try to shirk the responsibility.”
Even if she sewed the buttons back on, it wouldn’t change the fact that it had once been damaged before.
Wen Xinya felt a strong urge to bite him. “Are you sure that you’re not just deliberately trying to take advantage of the situation?”
All of his clothes are bespoke and most of them were designed by me. Yet, he still has the cheek to be so calculative with me over a shirt.
Does he know how difficult it is and how much effort it takes to design, tailor and sew a shirt together from scratch?
The thought of it made her feel like vomiting blood.
She was the one who had spoiled him.
She was in the second semester of her second year in university when she tried designing a shirt for Si Yiyan for the first time. Back then, she was still rather amateurish at designing and none of the senior tailors could meet her expectations.
In the end, she decided to tailor them herself. As a fashion designer, it was mandatory for her to learn how to cut fabric and sew them together by hand. Besides, she also had to put in effort into learning them well. After wasting a large amount of fabric, time and effort, she finally made a shirt that he was pleased with.
On that day… Si Yiyan was over the moon. He put on the shirt and hugged her affectionately. He even got intimate with her intensely that night and called her ‘baby’ throughout the session. It was so vigorous that she could not get out of bed the next day.
The first time was followed by the second.
Si Yiyan refused to take the shirt off at all and even wore it for seven days in a row. Unable to take it anymore, she decided to make another one so that he could swap them around.
She proceeded to make the third, fourth and subsequent ones…
At last, Si Yiyan insisted that he would only wear the clothes designed and tailored by her.
Hence, she had no choice but to become his personal apparel designer and tailor.
However, she actually liked seeing him wearing the accessories and clothes that she designed.
Holding her in his arms, Si Yiyan asked, “Are you going to say yes or not?”
The clothes that were handmade by Wen Xinya seemed more fitting than those of other brands. Now that he had already gotten used to wearing the clothes made by her, expensive clothes from designer labels could not entice him at all.
Sensing the threatening gaze in his eyes, Wen Xinya could not help but succumb. “Fine, I’ll do it. Hurry and get off me, you’re crushing my bones.”
Si Yiyan was an absolute tyrant and he was so dominant that no woman would be able to resist him.
Si Yiyan said, “Two!”
He stared at her and emphasized that he wanted two pieces of clothing.
Wen Xinya glowered at him and asked, “Fine. Are you afraid that I’d go back on my word?”
Anyway, I have quite a bit of free time on my hands now. I should be free enough to make some clothes for him. It’s good for him to have a few more pieces, lest he keeps wearing those same few pieces. He’s the leader of Xiasi Group, after all.
Si Yiyan grinned joyously and spread her legs apart. “As a reward, I must conquer you tonight.”
Are you kidding me!?!
Again?
Has he got a kidney made of steel?
It was then proven that he did not have a kidney of steel, but rather, she was just too good at being a girlfriend. She had been feeding him with all sorts of herbal soups which helped him nourish his kidney too well. Hence, he had great endurance in bed.
Wen Xinya began to regret her decision to help him nourish his kidney, spleen, and blood during Autumn, so much that he was overly nourished. In the end, she was the one who had to suffer. She thought to herself, I should just leave him be and let him have a weak kidney!
She decided to stop giving him herbal soups to nourish his kidney.
He doesn’t need it at all.
Chapter 1292: The Development of Lanxin Company
After three years of development, Lanxin Company had already become the most influential and capable company in the nation. They had also managed to become one of the top Traditional Chinese Medicine skincare products companies, holding 70% of the local market. It had become a luxurious brand and they would go on to reap massive profits.
The Lanxin health supplements brand had also withstood the test of time and the stiff competition of the market. They had now become the most famous health supplements brand in the nation, which had a good reputation and was known to be an ethical brand that had a massive group of loyal customers. It was also a trusted brand among citizens.
The pioneers of the health supplements industry were all impressed by the speed of Lanxin Company’s progress and development of products. Currently, they had already launched five new types of products, each offering different benefits. That alone was already better than various established brands.
Wen Xinya smiled as she stared at the team of senior executives in the office, which had expanded by twice the original size.
Most of the senior management executives of the company were recruited from the overseas students’ association and hired after a strict assessment and interviews conducted by Yan Shaoqing. They were all top elites of the world who had received timely help from Lanxin Company during the toughest times of their lives. Wen Xinya did not force those who were unwilling to join them into working for her. However, those who were willing had all developed a sense of belonging to Lanxin Company and were grateful towards them. Hence, Wen Xinya was willing to trust them.
Zheng Yifan sat beside Wen Xinya. He had now been promoted to General Manager and was in charge of managing Lanxin’s operations. He was almost on the same level as Yan Shaoqing.
Yan Shaoqing said, “The constructions of the office building in the West region have been completed. Our current office is still a little too small. Missy, when do you plan to move to the new office tower?’
Due to the fact that Wen Xinya was rather young, it would be strange for them to address her as ‘Boss’. Hence, everyone gradually began to address her as ‘Missy’, as a form of respect towards her.
The office building in the West region was situated on the plot of land that Wen Xinya had painstakingly acquired from the Xia Family back then. Later on, Wen Xinya decided to convert that plot of land into an office district. After three years, the construction was finally completed and it would become the headquarters of their company.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “You may discuss this with General Manager Zheng. Move the office there on an auspicious day. You don’t have to seek my permission.”
The construction works had already been completed for a month and hence, she was obviously eager to move there as soon as possible. Although they had been working in the current office tower for six years, it still did not truly belong to them.
Yan Shaoqing smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll discuss it with him and strive to move in as soon as possible.”
Zheng Yifan did not have any objections.
Everyone else in the conference room was obviously thrilled to be moving into the new office tower, for it signified the development of Lanxin Company and meant that they would be advancing to greater heights. Of course, they also could not bear to leave the old office.
Zheng Yifan said, “This is the latest sales report for Lanxin Company. We’ve achieved a 10% increase in sales and currently, we’re still experiencing a linear growth in sales revenue. From the looks of it, we’ll be able to monopolize 70% of the local market by the end of this year. However, we’ll be facing production problems. Hence, I suggest that we expand the factory and increase our supply levels so as to strengthen the production line.”
Actually, they were making preparations for Lanxin Company to be listed too. Once the company was listed, it would definitely have to expand to overseas markets.
Wen Xinya knew that they would definitely get listed soon and hence, they would have to make preparations for it.
“I plan to build more factories beside our current health supplements factory. That area will become our production ground. Since General Manager Zheng has already suggested that we expand our factory and increase production abilities, we shall leave this matter to General Manager Zheng to handle.”
It required thorough planning and several other processes in order for the production ground to be built, just like the construction of the Wen Corporation’s entertainment city. They would also need time, manpower, money and energy to complete the expansion.
Greatly taken aback, Zheng Yifan said frantically, “Don’t worry, Missy.”
He gazed at Wen Xinya while his heart pounded rapidly. The idea of a production ground did not even cross his mind, but he managed to think of it. All he felt towards Wen Xinya was awe and admiration of her abilities, bravery, brains, and wit.
Wen Xinya stared at Zheng Yifan sharply and said, “The construction of the production ground is the foundation and crucial factor of our market development. We must make sure that the construction, production facilities and training of staff adhere to the standards that we used to follow. No mistakes are to be made at all. Can you do it?”
In the past, Yan Shaoqing was the one who was in charge of the construction of the factory and he had done a better job than she had expected. By handing this project to Zheng Yifan, she was showing her trust in him.
Zheng Yifan took a deep breath before answering solemnly, “I won’t let you down, Missy.”
Zheng Yifan admired Wen Xinya for her intelligence and her determination to stay true to herself. He was also willing to work alongside her and advance towards their success.
Li Mengjie said, “Lanxi Cosmetics is a high-end luxury brand and we’ve reached saturation in the past three years. However, our sales are still rather stable because of our good reputation. But… in the long run, our development will come to a standstill, so I propose that we…” Li Mengjie took a deep breath before continuing bravely, “Expand to the overseas market!”
She had already had those ambitions three years ago, but Wen Xinya snapped her back to reality and made her realize her shortcomings. After three years of hard work and accumulating experience, she felt that she now possessed the ability to manage the expansion.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Sis Li, I’ve been waiting to hear that from you for a long time.”
She was willing to give Li Mengjie a chance and trust her abilities.
Extremely glad and agitated, Li Mengjie said, “I won’t let you down, Missy.”
It had been three years and she finally got to carry out the ambitions and plans that she had in mind. She believed that she would definitely succeed.
Chapter 1293: The Task of a Professional Manager
Wen Xinya stared at everyone with joy, pleased to see how eager they were in preparing for the listing of Lanxin Company as well as its expansion. She then shifted her gaze onto Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng waved at her, for there was indeed nothing much that he wanted to say. He was currently in charge of the investment firm and the development was going very well. They had already accumulated a total of 10 billion yuan in funds. They were ranked sixth in the top ten investment firms in the world. Hence, no one dared to offend the gilded Lanxin Company.
At this moment, Yan Shaoqing said, “The development of Lanxin Company’s real estate investments have already formed a scale and the commercial development of the land along the Western and Southern regions is estimated to be completed by the end of this year and fully sold by spring of next year. The development of the other plots of lands and properties are also beginning to slowly develop.”
In the past three years, Lanxin’s real estate company had been developing together with the health supplements and cosmetic brands under Lanxin. They had also begun investing and planning the land use of the plot of land along the railway track that Wen Xinya had purchased five years ago. Besides, the investment plan for Lanxin Company had already been approved by the government. After five years, that plot of land had already become a luxurious business district that amazed everyone.
Besides, there were plenty of cities that were being developed in recent years, such as Jin City. Lanxin Company had already begun investing funds into the development. The most shocking part was that the construction team that they hired comprised of the construction workers who had worked for the Xia Family back then and were denied their wages.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “That’s half a year earlier than I expected.”
She initially estimated the construction works to be completed in May. Now that the works were completed half a month in advance, they were all excited about the news.
Next, everyone began discussing about the future developments of Lanxin Company. After deciding on the policy, Wen Xinya said, “I have something important to announce during the meeting today.”
Everyone was rather curious about what Wen Xinya had to say. Although she was younger than them, she was very capable and competent. Even though she rarely took part in the management of Lanxin Company and its operations, every decision of hers helped to push the company to greater heights.
The most classic move she made was clinching the sponsorship for the martyr appreciation event hosted by Zhishan Club, thus allowing Lanxin Company to expand and take to greater heights. During that period of time, Lanxin Company managed to achieve an impressive sales record that was a miracle in the health supplements industry.
Wen Xinya was the brain and soul of Lanxin Company.
The managerial staff of a company was disposable, unlike the brain and soul.
Wen Xinya glanced at Yan Shaoqing with a stern expression. “It has been six years since Lanxin Company was founded. Throughout the past six years, we grew from a baby to a household brand and an established company of the nation. All of you deserve credit for our success.”
Wen Xinya’s voice was rather influential and everyone felt influenced by her words.
Wen Xinya took a sweeping glance at everyone before fixing her gaze onto Yan Shaoqing. “However, one of us here has put in much more effort and hard work then the rest of us, including… me, the boss of Lanxin Company.”
Everyone turned to look at Yan Shaoqing. They all knew how much he had done for the company.
Yan Shaoqing was at a sudden loss for what to do. His throat turned a little dry and he wanted to speak but had no idea what to say.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “In that case, I plan to appoint Yan Shaoqing as the professional manager of Lanxin Company.”
As a professional manager, he would be in charge of all the assets, management, value appraisal, legal processes and operations of the company. He would have the legal rights to make decisions on behalf of the company.
In other words, he would become Wen Xinya’s spokesperson and given the rights and power to manage and run the company on her behalf.
Yan Shaoqing was dumbfounded. He subconsciously asked, “Are you really going to become a sleeping boss?”
Since she had handed over everything to him, she would really just be a sleeping partner.
Yan Shaoqing’s words made everyone laugh out loud. They felt that there was no difference because Wen Xinya would still be the boss of Lanxin and she would still have the rights to make decisions and take part in the management of the company. She was just entrusting her power and authority to Yan Shaoqing so as to make it easier for him to run the company.
In the past, Wen Xinya rarely took part in the management apart from making the final decisions regarding the development of the company. Hence, they were not too surprised.
After being exposed by Yan Shaoqing, Wen Xinya began to feel a little embarrassed, especially since the rest of them were all laughing at her. “Nonsense. The company belongs to me. How can I sit back and do nothing? I’m busy with school and the design competition, so I don’t have time to manage the company. I’m entrusting my power and authority to you so that it’d be easier for you to manage the company.”
Wen Xinya had thought about it carefully. Now that Lanxin Company had already been developed and that she had already laid the foundation for Lanxin Company, she felt that she did not have to worry about it, especially since she had Yan Shaoqing and Zheng Yifan to help her.
She would also have more time to prepare for the jewelry design competition and make her way towards success.
Yan Shaoqing was talented and capable. Hence, it would be a waste of talent if she were to make him continue being her assistant. His new position was very suitable for him.
Wen Xinya’s attempt to defend herself made everyone guffaw out loud.
Knowing that he had said the wrong words, Yan Shaoqing frantically said, “I accept it.”
He knew that Wen Xinya would never change her mind easily after she had decided on something.
Despite feeling a little embarrassed, she was pleased with his answer. She extended her hand and said, “The company is yours to handle from now on.”
Yan Shaoqing stood up and hesitated for a moment before holding her slender and beautiful hand. “Rest assured! I won’t disappoint you.”
Zheng Yifan smiled and applauded.
The sounds of enthusiastic applause sounded in the office. Clearly, they all approved.
Chapter 1294: Everything Is in Control
Old Mr. Wen flipped through the latest sales report for the Wen Corporation’s jewelry stores. He smiled and said, “It’s been a month since the Autumn jewelry series was launched and 65% of the total sales come from its sales. The sales revenue is still increasing.”
65%? That meant that Wen Xinya’s designs had contributed to more than half of the Wen Corporation’s jewelry design sales in the past month. She had already begun driving up the sales of the Wen Corporation.
Frankly speaking, he had never thought that she would have perfectly inherited her mother’s flair for jewelry design. In the second semester of Wen Xinya’s second year of university, Wen Xinya began taking part in designing jewelry pieces for the Wen Corporation, all of which were popular amongst consumers.
In the second semester of her third year in university, he personally appointed Wen Xinya as the head designer of the Wen Corporation jewelry brand. She managed to live up to his expectations and both the series that she had designed were rather popular amongst the consumers.
Hence, Wen Xinya managed to secure a stable position in the Wen Corporation where the shareholders were all in approval of her.
Wen Xinya accepted the document that Old Mr. Wen passed to her. After skimming through the content, she said in shock, “I didn’t expect the sales results to be this impressive.”
Old Mr. Wen continued, “That’s not all. Ever since the launch of the Autumn series jewelry, there was a total increase of 20% in sales in all of the stores.”
A 20% increase meant that… 20% of the customers of the Wen Corporation’s jewelry brand had patronized the brand because of Wen Xinya.
Within just three years, Wen Xinya managed to build a good reputation for herself. He was extremely proud of her achievement.
Honestly, even Wen Xinya was rather taken aback.
Noticing the look of bewilderment on her face, Old Mr. Wen said, “Xinya, you really didn’t disappoint me.”
It had been six years since Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family. At the start, he did not trust her. However, he later tried to develop some trust in her and gradually began to trust her completely, especially after finding out about the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
Wen Xinya did not disappoint him at all. She used her actions to prove that she was trustworthy.
With Wen Xinya’s impressive capabilities, there was no need for him to fear the Korean-Chinese Alliance at all.
He thought about the looks of astonishment on the faces of the shareholders when they saw the document during the shareholders’ meeting today. After they were done with being happy, exhilarated and agitated, they began singing praises of Wen Xinya for the rest of the meeting.
Having understood what Old Mr. Wen’s expression meant, Wen Xinya changed the subject smilingly. “What are the responses and reviews given by the customers?”
Although the Autumn series was lavish, extravagant, graceful yet down to earth, she was more concerned about the customers’ response.
Old Mr. Wen said, “The customers have all given a great response to the products. They’re all looking forward to the next series of jewelry designed by you!”
Back then, Mo Yunyao was best at designing vintage jewelry, and she mostly used gold, pearls, and jade in her designs. However, Wen Xinya’s designs were more diverse and she seemed to have understood the significance of every kind of jewel and gem. She would always manage to incorporate the elements and showcase them through her designs effortlessly.
The good responses of the customers were the best encouragement for Wen Xinya.
Old Mr. Wen said, “I plan to hold a jewelry exhibition for the Wen Corporation. The theme of the exhibition will be the outstanding jewelry pieces designed by your mother, as well as the designs you’ve produced for the Wen Corporation. What do you think?”
It had been a long time since the Wen Corporation held a jewelry exhibition. By using Wen Xinya and Mo Yunyao as the theme, they would definitely bring more clout to the exhibition.
After giving it some thorough thought, Wen Xinya understood what Old Mr. Wen meant. “That’s a great idea. The jewelry exhibition will help give the Wen Corporation a better image and give our position in the jewelry design industry a little push. On the other hand, we’ll also be helping the Wen Corporation receive more attention and publicity. I don’t have any objections!”
Of course, Old Mr. Wen was also intending to promote her through the exhibition. Although she was already famous and renowned enough in the world of jewelry design in China, the exhibition would allow the media to bring more attention to Wen Xinya and the Wen Corporation. Old Mr. Wen simply wanted to take the chance to stabilize her position in the Wen Corporation, so as to make her irreplaceable. He also wanted to reveal to the media, the contributions that she had made to the Wen Corporation as the heiress.
Old Mr. Wen smiled and said, “The exhibition will occur in half a month’s time. I’ll leave the details to Soaring Public Relations company to handle.”
Since the Autumn jewelry series designed by Wen Xinya was now in trend, it was the best time for the Wen Corporation to hold an exhibition.
Rather surprised by his decision, Wen Xinya said, “Half a month? Would that be a little too rushed? It’s been a long time since the Wen Corporation held an exhibition. We must refine it to perfection since the media will definitely pay attention this time.”
Wen Xinya was rather worried about the time constraint.
Old Mr. Wen said smilingly, “Don’t worry. I’ve already called Soaring Public Relations company to confirm the schedule with them before I made this decision. Although we’re a little pressed for time, they have no problems making the arrangements.”
Most importantly, the Wen Corporation had held several jewelry exhibitions before and hence, they had a template that they could follow and the preparations would be much easier.
Finally feeling relieved, Wen Xinya asked, “How are things in the Wen Corporation lately? At which stage of development is the entertainment city?”
The entertainment city project would forever be a thorn in hers and Old Mr. Wen’s flesh, that they would never be able to remove. Old Mr. Wen was extremely infuriated throughout the past three years, for Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen were actively developing the entertainment city.
The mention of it made Old Mr. Wen’s face grow sullen. “Things are going well in the Wen Corporation, but we’re already at the end stages of the entertainment city project. It is estimated to be completed in less than a year’s time. They will go into operation very soon.”
Wen Xinya sulked before smilingly calmly. “Good that everything is still within our control.”
Chapter 1295: Being a Snake Catcher for Once
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For the past three years, Old Mr. Wen had been secretly creating plenty of obstacles for the development of the entertainment city. On top of that, the long duration of the project had caused the shareholders to gradually lose their passion and enthusiasm about the project. Besides, the large amounts of funds required had also sparked unhappiness amongst the shareholders who complained about it. There had been plenty of delay and dilly-dallying because of various reasons. Hence, the project had yet to be completed even until now.
It was a good thing for Wen Corporation.
In the past three years, Wen Xinya and Old Mr. Wen had been making all sorts of preparations and arrangements for retaliating against the Korean-Chinese Alliance. Now, Old Mr. Wen was in charge of the Wen Corporation and had secretly implemented various changes to the internal department, thus reducing the potential impact that the entertainment city could have on the Wen Corporation. He also managed to control the harm that the Korean-Chinese Alliance would bring to the Wen Corporation in the future.
On the other hand, the Wen Corporation had always had some hidden abilities that no one knew of. In the past three years, Old Mr. Wen had been secretly transferring some of their resources away from the Wen Corporation. He managed to do everything secretly.
On top of that, Old Mr. Wen and Wen Haowen’s relationship was extremely strained and everyone in the circle knew that they had already fallen out with each other and that their blood ties were the only thin thread that was holding them together.
Hence, it would be easier and reasonable for Old Mr. Wen to deal with Wen Haowen, and Wen Haowen’s actions wouldn’t implicate the Wen Family. That would reduce the impact that Wen Haowen would have on the Wen Corporation.
Although they had already done everything that they could, Wen Xinya was still rather worried. “For the past three years, we’ve been using the entertainment city project to investigate the Korean-Chinese Alliance. We’ve yet to find any leads, however. How are they so sneaky and shady?”
Wen Xinya could not help but feel rather infuriated and frustrated at the thought of it. She initially planned to use the entertainment city project to lure the mastermind out of his hiding. While they did find several useful leads, the more they realized how deeply rooted the organization was. In fact, she even felt that… the information they had was not enough to remove the organization for good.
Since they could not remove them completely, it would be impossible to get rid of them.
Next, they would be getting ready to receive the revenge taken by the maniacal organization.
The Wen Corporation could not bear the consequences at all. We Xinya did not wish to take them either.
Si Yiyan said calmly, “Don’t be so impatient. We’ve already begun approaching the core of this organization, but we still need the right time and opportunity. Before then, let’s not act rashly.”
The Korean-Chinese Alliance had already planted their roots within Capital city in China, much deeper than he had imagined. Besides, their network was complex and complicated. He had already investigated them previously and found out some leads that traced back to some tycoons and wealthy families of the city.
Throughout all these years, he had been paying close attention to the Korean-Chinese Alliance and managed to get ahold of some information about their preferred style of handling matters. Although there was only a little information, it was enough for him to continue finding out more clues.
Feeling extremely frustrated, Wen Xinya said, “How can I not be impatient? The entertainment city project is about to be completed soon and we don’t have much time left.”
At this point, it was already extremely difficult to stall time and cause any further delay to the entertainment city project. They had to find out more about the Korean-Chinese Alliance and attack them with a lethal blow before the entertainment city went into operation. Otherwise, the Wen Corporation would be destroyed.
Si Yiyan explained calmly, “I suspect that the Korean-Chinese Alliance has already infiltrated several wealthy and prestigious families in Capital city. Hence, I’ve been checking up on them meticulously in order to avoid alarming them. At this critical juncture, we can’t afford to make any mistakes. Otherwise, it would be a waste of all our efforts.”
Greatly taken aback by the sudden news, Wen Xinya asked, “What do you mean?”
She had already gotten some ideas, she was still in disbelief.
Si Yiyan answered, “It’s exactly what you’re thinking.”
Even Si Yiyan was astonished when he first found out about the organization. He did not expect that they had already amassed so much power and authority in Capital city, the core of the government.
Wen Xinya gasped and tried to calm herself down. “This organization is really terrifying.”
The more she found out about the Korean-Chinese Alliance, the more daunting she found them to be. She felt that she had truly underestimated them.
Si Yiyan said, “I’ve been looking into these families lately and the results will be out soon. I’m sure we’ll get something.”
It was not that easy to investigate those wealthy and powerful families because they possessed immense wealth, power and connections. Hence, they would definitely leave some clues during the investigation, and it would be easy to let the cat out of the bag. Hence, they had no choice but to investigate slowly.
Wen Xinya was well aware of the reasons.
Si Yiyan said, “Xinya, I want to deal with this organization by attacking them with accurate shots. I don’t want to give them the chance to escape because they’re just like snakes. If you don’t nab them within the first shot, you would be giving them the chance to crawl onto your stick and it would then become tougher to attack them later on.”
Having understood what he meant, Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I know, don’t worry. I’ll find a chance to discuss this with Grandpa and get him to be warier so as to avoid alarming them.”
The Wen Corporation was still the key in investigating about the Korean-Chinese Alliance. Since things had already developed to this extent, she naturally wouldn’t back down and would instead work alongside Si Yiyan. It was her duty to assist him fully.
Si Yiyan said, “Yes, but don’t get too worried about the Wen Corporation. I’ll safeguard it.”
However, he did not mention how he was going to do so.
Wen Xinya did not dwell on his words. After all… the Wen Corporation had already done everything they could and Wen Xinya had also prepared herself for the worst. Although they were not as powerful as the Korean-Chinese Alliance, they would at least be able to take the blows and keep their foundation.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Xinya, we must catch the snakes together!”
In order to catch the snake, they would first have to understand the habits of snakes and remain patient and calm while waiting for the chance to take action.
Appearing rather interested, Wen Xinya said, “That sounds interesting.”
