After receiving the painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and one of the "Seventeen Posts" by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, my grandfather could not sit still. After commenting on her performance in Country E one by one, he hurried upstairs with the three gifts.
Wen Xinya couldn't help but chuckle. It was rare to see her grandfather so impatient. She guessed that he must be going to the study to burn incense, wash his hands, make tea, and appreciate calligraphy and paintings!
Wen Xinya gave the gifts she had brought for Uncle Zhang, Mother He, and Mother Jiang to them. They were very happy to receive the gifts. They pulled her aside and kept asking her about her trip to Country E. They also said that she had lost a lot of weight in just over ten days in Country E. They also discussed what to cook to nourish her at noon.
Wen Xinya felt warm in her heart.
Some people, even though they are not related by blood, treat her better than family members.
Some people, although they were related by blood, treated her with indifference and disgust.
After lunch, Wen Xinya left the Mo family.
At this time, she received a call from Secretary Cao asking her to meet.
Wen Xinya naturally guessed that Secretary Cao must have come to her because of the "plan" that Wen Haowen mentioned last night. Her grandfather gave Secretary Cao to her, and Secretary Cao would definitely tell her about such an important matter.
The two of them made an appointment at a private restaurant at Bai Ma's home. When Wen Xinya arrived, Secretary Cao had already arrived.
Wen Xinya said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept Uncle Cao waiting for so long."
Secretary Cao's father once accompanied Grandpa to lay the foundation of Wen's Group. Later, Grandpa Cao passed away due to illness, and Secretary Cao came to Grandpa's side. Both father and son are close people around Grandpa, and the relationship is naturally different. Moreover, he has real ability. Not only is he loyal, but he is also very dutiful, so Wen Xinya is willing to treat him as an elder.
Secretary Cao could naturally feel the girl's respect for him. Thinking of Wen Haowen's command over her, he felt somewhat touched: "Miss, you are too polite. Did you have a good time in Country E?"
Wen Xinya laughed: "Country E is quite interesting."
Secretary Cao said solemnly, "I specially asked Miss out today because of the Wen Group's business."
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Wen Xinya guessed that the current situation of Wen's Group must not be as simple as she imagined, and her expression became serious.
Secretary Cao pushed a document in front of Wen Xinya. "Five days ago, Wen Haowen convened the group's board of directors and proposed a project to invest in the construction of a large entertainment city. The plan was perfect and there were almost no loopholes. Half of the shareholders expressed their support on the spot. I don't know what tricks Wen Haowen used, but in just one day, the shareholders who remained neutral and voted against expressed their support."
Wen Xinya was extremely shocked. She opened the file bag, took out the documents inside, and started flipping through them hurriedly.
After reading the plan at a glance, she had to admit that it was too perfect: "The wording of this plan is simple and easy to understand, the word games are hard to guard against, the slightly inflammatory words, and the various initial investments and later profit budgets make people almost excited."
Such a perfect plan was obviously prepared long ago and it was definitely not made after she went abroad.
Secretary Cao nodded and said, "Since I received this document, I have consulted several well-known lawyers in the industry. After reading the plan, they all said that this plan is too perfect and there are no loopholes in the interests."
This was what really made him uneasy. In all his years in the business world, he had never seen such a perfect plan. It seemed to be specially prepared to convince everyone, rather than based on the interests of the company. So he keenly sensed that something was wrong.
When he heard that the eldest lady had returned yesterday, he almost couldn't wait to find her. However, thinking that the eldest lady had just returned to the country and had not officially taken over the business of Wen Group, he didn't want to go to her so hastily, so he held back until today.
Wen Xinya looked at Secretary Cao with more seriousness. Secretary Cao was indeed sharp-minded and could sense something unusual based on the plan: "Uncle Cao, before this, have there been any clues about this plan? Or are there any unusual movements within the group?"
Secretary Cao thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "No, I have followed the old man for so many years, and I know the operation and management of Wen's Group very well. Whenever the group has any action, I will get the news."
He is not bragging about this. As the old man's personal secretary, if he didn't even have this ability, the old man would not have kept him by his side.
Wen Xinya naturally knew Secretary Cao's ability, so she naturally wouldn't doubt his words. She said with a heavy face, "There was no clue about this plan before, which shows that it was not made by the planning department of Wen's Group. However, such a perfect plan cannot be made by ordinary people. There must be someone behind Wen Haowen. I don't think this matter is that simple if the plan is hidden like this."
How did Wen Haowen come up with the idea of building a large entertainment city
Wen Haowen was ambitious but incompetent. He could not have come up with such a large-scale project, let alone such a perfect plan.
If there is someone behind him, then everything can be explained.
Secretary Cao was shocked: "If it is true as the young lady said, then who is the other party? What is his purpose? Does he have other intentions towards the Wen Group?"
He felt that the eldest lady's analysis was very reasonable. He knew Wen Haowen too well. He had mediocre qualifications but great ambitions but little talent. He seemed bold but actually lacked courage and responsibility. Such a huge investment project was not something he could handle with his courage.
Wen Xinya shook her head and said, "This is just my guess. I can't be sure yet."
Wen Xinya rubbed her forehead. She had only been abroad for twelve days, and Wen Haowen had done something so weird. She felt helpless. Before, her grandfather had told her to pay more attention to the internal affairs of the Wen Group and even gave her Secretary Cao. She didn't think much of it at the time, but now she regretted her decision.
Wen Haowen's restlessness gave her a headache.
Secretary Cao asked, "Miss, what are you going to do now?"
He guessed that since the eldest lady had already guessed that there was something fishy going on, she would naturally not stand idly by. However, in the current situation, Wen Haowen's plan had already been unanimously voted through by the board of directors. If the eldest lady wanted to turn the tide, it would be impossible.
Wen Xinya frowned tightly, did not answer him, and began to analyze the pros and cons of the entertainment city in her mind.
