Wen Haowen was busy preparing for the entertainment city project, but he still took half a day off to take the old lady out shopping.
Wen Haowen always hated going shopping with women, but today he patiently helped the old lady pick out clothes. After picking out the clothes, he went to the jewelry store and picked out several sets of expensive jewelry for the old lady.
The old lady was extremely happy. In all the years since she married the old man, he had never accompanied her shopping. The silver ring they got married was bought by the old man directly for her to wear. So she felt almost flattered that Wen Haowen could take time out of his busy schedule to accompany her shopping.
"Old lady, your son is really filial. I have been selling things here for so many years, but I have never seen a few sons bring their mothers to buy things."
"Old lady, you are so lucky. Your son is not only handsome, but also so filial to you. Nowadays, young people are busy with work. How can they have time to accompany women to buy things?"
The old lady was surrounded by similar words for the whole afternoon, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
After buying everything, Wen Haowen took the old lady to eat Western food.
Wen Haowen even booked the entire restaurant. The dazzling crystal chandeliers, elegant piano performance and wonderful violin concerto in the restaurant exuded romantic and beautiful notes.
Wen Haowen also prepared a bouquet of bright red carnations for the old lady.
The old lady held the flowers and smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line: "Haowen, Mom knows you are filial. You have been so busy with work recently, why do I need you to take time out to accompany me like this."
Wen Haowen said, "No matter how busy I am at work, I can't neglect you. So many things have happened in the Wen family recently. You've been caught between me and Dad and suffered so much injustice. I, as a son, am being unfilial."
Wen Haowen lowered his head in shame. Although he was trying to coax the old lady into taking her shares, these words were truly from the bottom of his heart. From childhood to adulthood, the old man either beat or scolded him, and it was always his mother who protected him regardless of whether he was right or wrong.
The old lady's eyes moistened when she heard this: "There is no such thing as grievance in a family. I just want you and your son to live in peace. We are a family no matter what."
Wen Haowen's face turned pale. "Mom, I know what you're thinking. It's not that I don't want to live in peace with Dad, but because Dad has completely ignored me since he found his granddaughter. This time, because I didn't tell him about the entertainment city at first, he has always been dissatisfied with me, which has made me questioned in the Wen Group and made it difficult for me to do anything."
"It's all Wen Xinya's fault." The old lady didn't understand business matters, but she had eyes. She saw how much the old man valued Wen Xinya, and it was also a fact that he was indifferent to Hao Wen.
Wen Haowen sighed, "Mom, Wen Xinya got a good score of 703 in the college entrance examination this time. The old man was so happy. On the other hand, I was busy preparing for the entertainment city project and trying to make money for the Wen Group, but he never treated me well..."
"Haowen, Mom knows you've been wronged." She knew that the old man was proud of Wen Xinya's college entrance examination results. She also knew that her son had been working very hard recently, often working overtime until late at night, and sometimes even working all night. She felt distressed.
Wen Haowen struck while the iron was hot and said, "Mom, regarding the cheating scandal, Chairman Qian teamed up with the directors of Wen's Group to remove me from my position as president. Since then, my position in Wen's Group has been unstable. Dad doesn't support me, and the shareholders on the board don't take me seriously at all. No matter what I do, I have to act according to the faces of those directors."
Mrs. Wen didn't expect her son to have such a hard time in the Wen Group: "Then... what should we do? Do you want me to persuade your father?"
Wen Haowen said, "Mom, it's useless. Dad doesn't even have me as his son in his eyes now."
For a moment, Mrs. Wen didn't know what to do.
Wen Haowen changed the subject and said, "Mom, when Wen's Group was first established, didn't Dad give you 5% of the shares of Wen's Group? Can you lend me this 5% of the shares? I will return it to you after I have survived the entertainment city project."
Mrs. Wen looked at Wen Haowen in confusion: "But that 5% of the shares was transferred to me by your father, I..."
It’s not that she didn’t want to give it, but she didn’t dare to make such a decision because the old man would not agree.
Wen Haowen said, "Mom, I don't really want your shares. It's just that I'm in a difficult situation in Wen's Group right now. The more shares I have, the more stable my position will be. The entertainment city is a big money-making project. If I can successfully complete this project, I will make money for Wen's Group, and naturally no one will look down on me anymore. I will return the shares to you then."
Mrs. Wen was still a little hesitant: "But, your father..."
Wen Haowen struck while the iron was hot and said, "Mom, Dad actually transferred the stocks to your name, which proves that those shares already belong to you. You have the power to transfer them. If you are worried that Dad will not agree, then we can find a lawyer and do it quietly in private and ensure that Dad will not know about this."
Old Mrs. Wen didn't quite understand these things, and asked with some doubt: "Is this really possible?"
Haowen is her only son. Now that he is in such a difficult situation in Wen's Group, she hopes to be able to help him.
Wen Haowen nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't lie to you."
Wen Haowen never worried that his mother would disagree to transfer the stocks to his name. He was his mother's only son, and his mother had doted on him unconditionally since he was a child.
Mrs. Wen nodded hesitantly: "Well... okay! But don't let your dad know."
Wen Haowen was naturally overjoyed, holding the old lady's hand and excitedly said, "Mom, thank you."
Mrs. Wen patted her son's hand gently and said, "There's no need for us to say thank you. These shares are useless to me except for dividends. Now that you're having a hard time at Wen's Group, I'm naturally happy that these shares can help you."
The old lady couldn't understand the true meaning of the shares of Wen's Group, so when Wen Haowen asked her for them, it was natural for her to give them to him.
Wen Haowen said, "Mom, don't worry. I just want these shares to be registered in my name. As for the quarterly dividends of these stocks, I won't touch a cent. I will transfer all of them to your card when the time comes."
Mrs. Wen said, "How much can an old woman like me spend? I haven't used much of the dividends. The dividends over the years are enough for me to spend. If you need money, you can keep the dividends for yourself."
Wen Haowen naturally wouldn't agree.
