The originally good atmosphere became stiff and cold because of Wen Haowen's words.
Wen Haowen looked at the old man with a bit of embarrassment. He had just mentioned it casually, and it wasn't a big deal. Was there any need to react so strongly
Old Master Wen glanced at him with his sharp eyes and said, "Since the board of directors has approved your plan, I, an old man who has retired, naturally have no other opinions."
It was a typical case of acting first and reporting later, which made him very unhappy.
Although he has withdrawn from the business world and is no longer in charge of the operations of Wen's Group, he is currently still the chairman of the board of directors of Wen's Group. Any major decision must go through him.
Wen Haowen's face froze slightly, and he quickly said, "Dad, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to discuss this plan with you, but you've been very busy with the charity fund recently, so I..."
In recent times, he has suffered setbacks everywhere, including divorce and cheating. He originally wanted to make up for 10% by launching a product, but Yang Ziyu pretended to be pregnant and made a scene in Wen's Group, which made him lose all his face. In order to ensure his position in the Wen's Group, he was eager to perform. This plan was a good opportunity. Due to the large initial investment, he was afraid that the old man would veto the proposal, so he acted first and reported to the old man later, convened a board meeting, and approved the plan.
Before, the Xiao and Wen families were fighting, and the stock market of the fatal Wen Group was booming. The shareholders all had full pockets and were thinking about turning the money in their hands into more money. So when his plan came out, as soon as the shareholders heard that there was money to be made, they passed the proposal without much trouble.
Wen Haowen continued, "Dad, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Whether this plan can be passed in the end still depends on your decision."
Although the old man has retired from the business world, he still serves as a director of the group. Major plans like this require his consent to be successfully implemented.
Mr. Wen interrupted him: "Okay, stop talking."
The words sound nice, but now that the board of directors has approved his proposal, even as the chairman, can he still refute the decision of the entire board
"Dad, I..." Wen Haowen moved his lips, but under the pressure of the old man's authority, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Wen Xinya listened to their conversation and couldn't help feeling a little surprised. Wen Haowen, who always acted according to his grandfather's mood, would actually act first and report later. What on earth was he trying to do
Mrs. Wen said quickly, "Old man, why are you so angry? The shareholders in the shareholders' meeting are watching over the business. What do you have to worry about? Besides, Hao Wen didn't mean to not tell you first. He also knew that you were busy recently, so he didn't want to bother you with such a small matter..."
Old Master Wen glanced at the old lady calmly, and the old lady subconsciously shut up.
He put the chopsticks in his hand on the table and looked at Wen Haowen with a pair of majestic eyes: "What's wrong with you recently? You often stay out all night. Don't tell me that you are working overtime at the company for work or something like that. If you lie to your mother, she might believe it, but you can't lie to me."
Wen Haowen has not returned home for almost four or five nights since Xinya went on a trip abroad.
Wen Xinya paused while eating and subconsciously looked up at Wen Haowen.
What was going on when Wen Haowen didn't come home all night? Did he have another woman outside? She just thought it was absurd. Since the cheating incident, Ning Shuqian was sent to a sanatorium. The relationship between Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian was in name only. On the one hand, Wen Haowen was suspicious of Ning Shuqian, and on the other hand, he hated her because of the fake pregnancy.
As a result, Wen Haowen felt empty around him. Without a woman, Wen Haowen was at the age of forty when a man was as strong as a tiger. Naturally, he had the needs of a normal man and it was impossible for him to hold back. Thinking about it this way... it was also normal for him to have other women outside.
However, Wen Haowen's reputation has been so fragile because of the cheating scandal that it can no longer withstand the test. If he continues to have affairs with other women so blatantly, won't he end up capsizing in the gutter and ruining his reputation completely
Wen Haowen's face froze, and he explained unnaturally: "Dad, I am indeed busy with work..."
Old Master Wen didn't want to hear his explanation: "You know whether it's work or not. I don't want to care about your private life, and I, an old man, can't bear to care about it, but...if you dare to do something that will bring shame to the Wen family again, then don't blame me for being rude."
Wen Haowen's cheating scandal has caused great damage to the Wen family. Xinya has finally used the Xiao family to establish her authority and restore the reputation of the Wen family. How could she tolerate Wen Haowen being so shameless
Wen Haowen's face changed, and his whole face became hot. Even though the cheating scandal was in the past, he still felt embarrassed when the old man brought it up out of the blue. Moreover, the old man's eyes scraped at him like knives, and his tone was frighteningly sharp. He had no doubt that if something really happened again, the old man would definitely not give him a beating like he did last time.
He forced out an unnatural smile: "Dad, don't worry, I know my limits and will never let anyone scheme against me and cause trouble for the Wen family."
After saying that, he secretly winked at the old lady.
This scene did not escape Wen Xinya's eyes, she just found it funny.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wen received his distress signal and quickly came out to smooth things over: "Old man, Haowen already knows he was wrong and will definitely not make the same mistake again. Besides...it was clearly that little bitch Yang Ziyu who schemed against Haowen last time. How can you blame Haowen for bringing shame to the Wen family?"
Old Master Wen glared at the old woman fiercely and said, "Shut up, you little bitch, are you ashamed of yourself?"
The old woman had lived a wealthy life for decades, but she had not learned the slightest bit of reserve that comes with being a lady of wealth and nobility. He no longer knew what to say.
Old Mrs. Wen was speechless and felt indignant. She thought the old man must despise her vulgarity and thought she was shameful.
The atmosphere was a little tense. Wen Xinya picked up a piece of food for Grandpa with chopsticks and said with a smile, "Grandpa, the stir-fried pork that Aunt Wang made today tastes a little different. Try it."
Mr. Wen's expression eased, his eyes softened, "You eat too."
Wen Haowen looked at the interaction between the old man and Wen Xinya, his eyes flickering, with a hint of hidden sinisterness passing through his eyes. The old man now has Xinya to inherit the family business, so he doesn't take him seriously at all.
