Chapter 1680: Miss Wen, Please Come up with a Solution!

After the press failed to dig up any further information on Yang Ziyu, they then focused on Ning Shuqian’s lawsuit against Wen Haowen.

Ning Shuqian’s erotic videos and photos were still circulating. Nevertheless, she appeared indifferent and splurged on hiring an extremely reputed legal team from overseas to represent her in this court case. She also frequently appeared before the media.

Meanwhile, after repeated failed attempts to get Ning Shuqian to withdraw her charges, Wen Haowen gave up and also hired a well-known local legal team to represent him.

Both sides had chosen to put up lofty and aggressive stances. The hostility between them was electrifying.

There were only three more days to the date of the court case.

The fragrance of the tea should have been calming, but everyone at present was feeling extremely perturbed.

With Secretary Cao at the helm, several directors, the marketing and sales deputy head Xue Yishan, the head of human resources, as well as several relevant persons from the jewelry design department were all sitting in the tearoom. The atmosphere was beyond intense.

They were all supporters that Wen Xinya had amassed within Wen Corporation and were the people that Wen Xinya trusted.

“Why are you all not talking?” Wen Xinya broke the silence as she surveyed the group.

Everyone glanced at each other, as the atmosphere became even more grave.

Finally, one of the directors couldn’t resist any longer. “The share price of Wen Corporation has been falling for two consecutive weeks. At this rate, the company will be even worse off than during the economic crisis of 2008. The Xiao Corporation has been eyeing us with every intention of leveraging off our crisis. If this goes on, the Wen Corporation will suffer irrevocable damage.”

The atmosphere in the tearoom started bubbling like boiling water the moment he spoke.

“Not only that, the marketing and sales department has been significantly impacted. Sales have fallen by nearly half. Jewelry sales have been faring slightly better, but the numbers for clothing, shoes, bags, makeup, and skincare have all declined drastically. Consumers will lose their trust in the Wen Corporation if this continues to drag on. I cannot imagine the consequences of that.”

Since Xue Yishan pledged his allegiance to Wen Xinya, he had risen to the ranks of deputy head of marketing and sales. The entire department was now within his control.

The competitive environment for clothing, shoes, bags, makeup, and skincare was very fierce. As a result, the impact of the Wen Family husband-and-wife drama was more pronounced for these sectors.

Although competition for the jewelry sector was also very intense, they had the world-famous Wen Xinya in their ranks, so the impact wasn’t as great. After all, Wen Xinya’s designs had always been a leading influence on jewelry design trends in Country Z. Her products were also well-received in overseas markets. As a result, Wen Xinya’s jewelry designs had become Wen Corporation’s most popular product.

“Old Mr. Wen has yet to wake up and there has been an increasing number of conjectures and gossip surrounding the Wen Family. Just this afternoon, several shareholders got into an argument with Wen Haowen when they demanded to see Old Mr. Wen. They said that they would withdraw their shares if they don’t get to see him. I am afraid that we can’t keep Old Mr. Wen’s condition a secret for much longer.”

This was Secretary Cao’s greatest worry.

The entire Wen Corporation would be in peril the moment news of Old Mr. Wen’s condition was revealed.

“The most detestable is Wen Haowen himself. The lawsuit is going to court very soon. As the CEO and major shareholder of Wen Corporation, he will be dragging the whole company into the pits if they really end up in a legal tussle. Wen Corporation’s hard-earned reputation and foundation built over so many years will be destroyed.”

The head of human resources was flushed red with anger.

“Everyone in Wen Corporation is ill-at-ease, but he has not stepped up to calm the situation, and instead fired quite a number of employees. The board is in a right mess, but he refuses to resolve things and just completely disregards the other directors. The shareholders are panicking, but he has no intention of calming them. Instead, he uses his authority as the majority shareholder to do as he pleases. Wen Corporation will collapse if this goes on.”

Everyone started voicing out their displeasure toward Wen Haowen.

With Old Mr. Wen hospitalized and in a coma, Wen Haowen had been acting as if the whole Wen Corporation was his. His actions had been increasingly audacious and impudent. He had been firing employees left and right—for gossiping behind his back, for work that displeased him, or just because he was in a bad mood that day.

During this period when everyone in the Wen Corporation was already feeling jittery, he was just making things worse.

Wen Xinya gently traced her teacup with one finger. She remained silent throughout.

“Miss Wen, Wen Haowen has completely messed up the entire Wen Corporation. Meanwhile, our Chairman is in a coma and unable to step up. Please come up with some ideas!”

Although everyone was well aware that Old Mr. Wen’s coma happened too suddenly and Wen Xinya held too little shares to assert any control, they were all supporters of Wen Xinya and so naturally held her in high regard and fully acknowledged her capabilities.

She could not publicly face-off against Wen Haowen or the media would have another field day reporting on their dispute. As a result, she was met with obstacles on all sides. Nevertheless, they still hoped she had a solution.

“Yes, Miss Wen, please offer us a solution. Wen Corporation cannot continue on like this.”

Everyone turned to look at Wen Xinya as if she was the main pillar of the group.

Wen Xinya put her teacup down on the table. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

Her calm speech held a soothing quality. Light and pleasant to the ear.

Silence fell across the tearoom.

Xue Yishan spoke up cautiously. “Miss Wen, what do you mean by that? Do you already have a plan to resolve this?”

A tremor of excitement shot through the room. Everyone was somewhat agitated as they gazed at Wen Xinya with hopeful yet slightly disbelieving eyes.

Only Secretary Cao looked wise and knowing.

He knew very well that everything that had happened to-date was well within this girl’s control. She already had a plan to resolve this situation, just that the right timing to execute it had yet to arrive. As a result, she had kept silent and passive all this while.

He already knew this since a long time ago.

That this was a remarkable young lady. No matter what happened, she could easily resolve it. It was as if nothing in this world was too difficult for her.

Wen Xinya replied in a mild tone, “Tomorrow, I will make a court appeal to withdraw Ning Shuqian’s lawsuit against Wen Haowen.”

That was all she would say.

Everyone exchanged glances. They were momentarily stunned.

Making a court appeal to withdraw the lawsuit. Was it really such an easy thing to do?

Why didn’t they know it then?

But then, why was Miss Wen speaking with such affirmation, as if her appeal would definitely succeed? Could it be Miss Wen had something that could make the courts reject Ning Shuqian’s lawsuit?
