The wine sealed in the bottle, when poured into the glass, seems to awaken the activities of years of aging, emitting mellow and fresh notes, and exuding a mellow and wonderful wine aroma. The dark red liquid appears deeper and more noble under the light of the crystal lamp.
The sound of wine glasses clinking together echoed in the room with a luxurious and noble tone.
Ning Shuqian asked, "Directors, have you agreed to approve the start-up funds for the entertainment city project? Wen Xin disrupted our dinner, and it's clear that she wants to stop the entertainment city project. I'm worried that if the funds are delayed any further, there will be complications."
Ning Shuqian didn't know what was going on. Ever since Wen Xinya disrupted the dinner at the Jinfeng Yulu Pavilion, she had a bad feeling in her heart. She always felt that Wen Xinya was trying every means to delay the entertainment city project, and there must be other calculations.
She didn't dare to take it lightly.
Wen Haowen couldn't help but sneer: "Wen Xinya? Who is she? Can she stop the entertainment city project just because she wants to? The application for the startup capital budget of the entertainment city subsidiary has been approved by the board of directors not long ago, and has now been submitted to the meeting table of the shareholders' meeting. It will be approved as soon as we get to work tomorrow."
Wen Xinya thought that by disrupting the dinner, she could delay time. It was a good idea and her calculation was spot on. She even guessed the directors' psychology almost exactly. But she was too naive. She was just a little girl who was still wet behind the ears. How could she understand the social interactions between men? After a few drinks, she was still not in a good position to handle the situation.
Ning Shuqian couldn't help but asked in surprise: "So fast?"
After the dinner, Wen Haowen took all the directors to have fun in the club. It was a bit inconvenient for her as a woman to be surrounded by a bunch of men. Thinking that Wen Wenya had disrupted the dinner, it would be pointless to stay any longer, so she made an excuse to leave. Unexpectedly, Wen Haowen could actually convince the directors to approve the funds as soon as possible.
Wen Haowen chuckled: "Of course, don't you see who I am? If I can't even handle a few directors, why would I be the president of Wen's Group?"
Ning Shuqian leaned into Wen Haowen's arms and laughed tenderly: "Haha, Haowen, you are really amazing. I thought that after Wen Xinya messed up the dinner, the directors would definitely have some other considerations, and the matter of the funds would be delayed for some time."
The directors on the board are smarter than anyone else, and a large number of them were promoted by Mr. Wen. Naturally, they have to act according to Mr. Wen's wishes.
Wen Haowen couldn't help but feel a little flattered when Ning Shuqian praised him like this: "How can you women understand the world of men, especially Wen Xinya, that little yellow-haired girl."
Ning Shuqian was still a little uneasy: "But... I heard Wen Xinya has been making a lot of noise in Wen's Group recently."
Wen Haowen didn't care: "Let her do whatever she wants. I want to see what she can do."
When Wen Haowen mentioned Wen Wenya, his tone was full of disapproval.
Ning Shuqian heard it and couldn't help but remind him, "Haowen, that being said, you shouldn't underestimate Wen Xinya. Haven't you noticed? During several board meetings, Secretary Cao was always by Wen Xinya's side. During the board meetings, Secretary Cao also acted according to Wen Xinya's expression. I suspect Secretary Cao may have become Wen Xinya's person."
Secretary Cao is the old man's personal secretary. Even the shareholders in the shareholders' meeting dare not look down on him. When she was in the Wen family, Secretary Cao didn't even give face to Wen Haowen. No one except the old man could command him. But now he follows Wen Wenya around and flatters her. This says it all.
When Wen Haowen heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "This... How is it possible!"
Wen Haowen subconsciously didn't believe it. Secretary Cao was the old man's personal secretary. How could the old man give him to Wen Wenya so easily? Even Secretary Cao himself would not agree.
Ning Shuqian whispered, "Haowen, think carefully about what the connection is between Secretary Cao and Wen Xinya during this period."
She had known about this for a long time, and she just wanted to find the right time to tell Wen Haowen so that he would be completely at her mercy.
Wen Haowen is not a fool. After Ning Shuqian mentioned this, he vaguely felt that what Ning Shuqian said made sense. He hadn't seen Secretary Cao go to the Wen family to report to the old man for a long time since the release of Ai Shang's products. This was not in line with common sense. He didn't notice it before, so it was nothing. But now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels that there is a big problem. In addition... He has seen Secretary Cao and Wen Xinya together more than once or twice.
Ning Shuqian noticed his expression and knew that he had believed it: "Haowen, I'm just guessing, don't take it to heart, maybe I guessed wrong."
"This old thing!" Wen Haowen could no longer listen to Ning Shuqian's words. His face suddenly twisted and he fiercely smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground. The clanging sound echoed in the empty living room. The broken glass shards on the ground reflected the sharp light under the crystal chandelier, and the bloody liquid spread.
Ning Shuqian quickly comforted him and said, "Haowen, don't be angry. You didn't know that the old man favors Wen Xinya on the first day. I'm just worried that if the old man gave Secretary Cao to Wen Xinya, wouldn't Wen Xinya be even more powerful in Wen's Group? No wonder Wen Xinya was so confident in the entertainment city project and actually opposed you everywhere."
Wen Haowen's expression became uncertain: "Wen Wenya thinks that with the support of the old man and the help of Secretary Cao, she can do whatever she wants in the Wen Group. Dream on! I won't let her succeed."
Ning Shuqian was still worried: "Haowen..."
If she wanted to push forward the entertainment city project as quickly as possible, she would first have to make Wen Haowen understand that he had no other options. Only by doing his utmost to push forward the entertainment city project would the Wen Group truly belong to him.
Wen Haowen sneered: "As long as the entertainment city project can be successfully completed, I have nothing to fear."
If the entertainment city project makes money, the shareholders will naturally support him. By then, even the old man will not be able to threaten his position in Wen's Group, and Wen's Group is destined to belong only to him.
Ning Shuqian was very satisfied with Wen Haowen's reaction: "Haowen, don't worry, I will definitely help you complete the entertainment city project smoothly."
Wen Haowen was deeply moved: "Good Qianqian, everyone says that behind every successful man, there is a woman. Marrying you is really the greatest blessing of my life."
He really needs Ning Shuqian's help now. Mrs. Zhang needs Ning Shuqian's mediation, and the 3% of the shares is already considered to be in his pocket.
