Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 1866

Chapter 1866: There’s Someone to Succeed the Wen Family Now

Qian faction actually had a chance of seventy to eighty percent to take over control of Wen Corporation this time, but it was a pity that they only held fifty-two percent of the shares, which was only four percent more than the Wen Family.

The four percent difference was carefully managed by Wen Xinya, as so long the Qian faction did not hold more than fifty-five percent of shares, then she could still change the situation at any moment.

Wen Family had been in control of Wen Corporation for a long while anyway, and as long as they took some measures, they could shake the resolve of those in the Qian faction and very easily pull those less determined shareholders to their side.

The meeting room was silent.

Wen Xinya, who was leading the Wen faction could not hide the joy on her face, and she looked as if she had already won it all.

Qian Jianhui, who led Qian faction, had a dark expression on his face, and his emotions were in a mess right now as he had already lost the advantage. What they were about to face was Wen Family’s intense revenge, as their shares were stolen, and some of the directors betrayed them as well.

Although they were unhappy with how the Wen Family ran the corporation, they had never thought of leaving the Wen Family, as they were very clear that the Wen Family had helped them earn a lot of money.

At that moment, everyone felt regretful.

What they regretted was that they should not have been lured by Qian Jianhui’s offer and become blinded by the benefits that they immediately accepted his proposal to take over control of Wen Corporation.

What they hated was that Qian Jianhui was a cunning old man who offered them a huge piece of the pie that they had not even gotten a taste of yet, but they were going to pay for it soon.

Many people secretly hated Qian Jianhui now.

How could Qian Jianhui not know what the shareholders were thinking?

However, things had already reached such a stage, so what else could he do?

Qian Jianhui’s gaze secretly moved towards Wen Xinya, and his swollen eyes looked unresigned and angry, as he knew that he had already lost this battle.

Qian Jianhui loudly said, “Dear shareholders, things have already progressed to such a stage, so we can only depend on each other now. How can the Wen Family still take us? We are on the same boat now, so we must persevere through the good and the bad together. All we can do now is to fight through it.”

It could not be denied that Qian Jianhui’s words had a certain sway to them, and even though they could see the situation for what it was now, they still continued to stay by Qian Jianhui’s side.

However, there were a couple of shareholders who switched sides.

Originally, the Wen faction was at a disadvantage and was taking a beating, but a miracle happened that shocked almost everyone who supported the Wen Family. No one thought that Old Mr. Wen would be released at such a critical juncture.

This result caused Qian Jianhui to be a little stunned.

The resistance from Qian Jianhui and the shareholders were within Wen Xinya’s expectations, and she simply stood up from her chair. “What could you achieve with such resistance? Businesses are managed in a way such that the shareholders are in charge of the directors, and the directors would take instructions from the shareholders, while the smaller shareholders take instructions from the bigger shareholders.”

She pursed her lips lightly into a smile afterward. Her meaning was already very obvious.

Qian Jianhui had lost his advantage.

Wen faction’s shares exceeded that of Qian faction, and they were the major shareholder that Qian faction should be listening to.

No matter what he said to the shareholders, it was only a fruitless struggle.

“Okay! Okay! Okay!” Qian Jianhui continuously said three “Okay”, and each was higher, more agitated and intense than the previous one. His chubby face lost its usual smile and he looked extremely angry as he looked directly at Wen Xinya. “Wen Family has a successor now.”

Qian Jianhui was not stupid.

Old Mr. Wen was decisive and bold, but he did not have Wen Xinya’s strategic foresight.

At that moment, he finally realized that she was the one who caused him to fail with no way to retaliate.

Wen Xinya humbly said, “Thanks for your praise.”

The Qian Jianhui in front of her dropped his pretense and facade and exposed an air of negativity, which was probably his true self.

Qian Jianhui sarcastically laughed, and his fat, swollen eyes only exposed a tiny slit of his pupils. “I had been fighting with Old Mr. Wen for so many years, nobody should know him better than me. Based on his ruthlessness, he could only teach someone like Xia Ruya. You…” His expression changed to an evil one. “You’re Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter indeed.”

Old Mr. Wen was morally upright and logical and was relatively stubborn and determined. But he was too domineering, and Wen Haowen’s opinionated behavior was probably from him.

The only sad thing about Wen Haowen was that he did not have the intellect and ability to match up to it.

The reason why Wen Zhihang could fail was because of how stubborn and determined he was. What he decided on could not be changed as his morality was too strong, and he did not have many ties with people.

Originally, he thought that Wen Xinya would have been ruined by Old Mr. Wen after she was brought back to the Wen Family.

However, Wen Xinya was very lucky to have a maternal grandfather that loved her a lot.

Wen Xinya just looked at him, not really knowing how to reply to him.

Qian Jianhui did not say anything afterward.

No matter what he did, he would still be wrong. He did not regret working with the shareholders to take control of the Wen Corporation, but he did regret working with Li Corporation. That resigned him to his loss, with no way of turning anything back.

At that moment, Sun Yichen stood up from his seat and righteously said, “Wen Xinya, if not for the injustice that the Wen Family has caused us when you suppressed the shareholders who care about their own benefits, how could Chairman Qian gather so many shareholders against the Wen Family? We are only doing this for Wen Corporation, to take back what truly belongs to us. What’s wrong with it?”

He could not accept that their operation to take over Wen Corporation failed, as it meant that he was going to lose all that he had now. He was still hoping for Xia Ruya to help him at this moment.

Clearly, Sun Yichen’s words stirred the feelings of many of the shareholders.

Everyone was fighting for themselves, and all businessmen wanted profits, so why could they not support Qian Jianhui when he provided better benefits as compared to the Wen Family?

Wen Xinya said, “Why don’t you tell us what Wen Family did wrong? How have we badly treated any of you? What did my grandpa do that was unfair? You received benevolence and loyalty from the Wen Family, yet you chose to betray us for profits, forgetting everything that we did. You’re speaking nonsense and should not be speaking to me.”

Sun Yichen was momentarily speechless.

He wanted to make a rebuttal, but he could not say anything that betrayed his own feelings. Everyone in the Wen Corporation knew that Old Mr. Wen had groomed him and mentored him, so he was afraid that everyone there would look down on him if he said anything bad about him.
