Ning Shuqian answered the call from Xia Ruya and learned what had just happened in the police station. A smile slowly emerged on her gloomy face. That smile was as charming as poison, as if it could kill anyone who touched it.
Wen Xinya, you bitch, let’s see how you turn things around this time.
Ning Shuqian adjusted her facial expression and came to the living room, where she found Wen Haowen talking on the phone with someone unknown. His face was sinister and the veins on his forehead were throbbing, but he was still forcibly suppressing his temper and anger.
Then Wen Haowen hung up the phone, suddenly stood up from the sofa, and kicked the glass coffee table in front of the sofa. With a series of "clang ping pong" sounds, the coffee table fell to the ground, and the things on it fell to the ground.
Ning Shuqian quickly walked over and asked, "Haowen, what happened? Why do you look so bad? Is there something wrong with the company?"
Wen Haowen was furious and smashed his phone to the ground fiercely: "Mrs. Jiang called just now and rejected the cooperation project that was renegotiated with the Wen family."
Ning Shuqian's eyes widened in disbelief, "Haowen, how could this happen? Wen Xinya and Miss Jiang had a conflict before, and you finally reached a new cooperation agreement with the Jiang family after visiting them three times. How come the Jiang family suddenly went back on their word?"
When this matter was brought up, Wen Haowen was furious. He kicked the overturned coffee table fiercely and said angrily, "It was that little bitch Wen Xinya. Miss Jiang was missing, and the police asked her to go to the police station to assist in the investigation. Who knew that she refused to cooperate and even had a conflict with Mrs. Jiang. The two sides tore their faces apart just like that."
"Haowen, there may be a misunderstanding in this matter. Have you asked Mrs. Jiang clearly?" Ning Shuqian's face was full of shock. She had wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Haowen about this matter, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang would actually call Haowen in person. It was really a blessing from heaven.
Wen Haowen was so angry that he almost lost his mind: "There is no misunderstanding at all, it's just that evil girl Wen Xinya who did something wrong!"
Ning Shuqian suddenly gnashed her teeth and said, "This Wen Xinya is so despicable. You worked so hard for the Wen family's business, and because she went to the Jiang family in a humble manner, gave gifts and apologized, you finally begged for the Jiang family's forgiveness and were willing to discuss new cooperation with the Wen family. But she actually pulled your leg and stabbed you in the back everywhere. Where in the world can you find such a daughter!"
As expected, Ning Shuqian's words suddenly made Wen Haowen's anger rise: "This evil creature!"
Ning Shuqian hurried over, pulled Wen Haowen to sit on the sofa, and calmed his anger, saying, "Haowen, don't be angry. The cooperation with the Jiang family cannot be negotiated. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger!"
Wen Haowen pushed Ning Shuqian away and angrily said to her, "What do you know? The Xiao family's ambition to enter the luxury brand market is obvious. Over the years, the Wen family and the Jiang family have worked together to suppress the Xiao family's arrogance. Otherwise, with the Xiao family's strength and financial resources, I'm afraid they would have competed with the Wen family for the luxury brand market long ago. Now that the cooperation between the two families has failed, the Xiao family should take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Ning Shuqian's face was pale and miserable: "Haowen, then... then what should we do?"
Wen Haowen stared at her with a fierce expression: "How should I know! I finally persuaded the Jiang family and negotiated new cooperation with them, but that evil creature Wen Wenya ruined everything."
Ning Shuqian panicked and said, "Don't we still have the Gu family? The Xiao family wants to occupy the luxury brand market. If they succeed, it will also be a threat to the Gu family. The Gu family will not sit idly by!"
Wen Haowen said angrily, "You ignorant woman with long hair and short knowledge. The Gu family is well-connected to both the black and white worlds. The Xiao family would be stupid to try to pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth. As long as the Xiao family does not threaten the interests of the Gu family, why would the Gu family take action against the Xiao family!"
Ning Shuqian seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said to Wen Haowen in panic: "Haowen, I just talked to Ruya on the phone. Ruya casually mentioned that Ai Shang's cosmetics are very good, but recently because of the Xiao family's acquisition, Ai Shang Group has been in turmoil, and many products have been removed from the shelves."
This news was undoubtedly a double whammy for Wen Haowen. He was shocked and stunned to the extreme: "Is this true?"
Ning Shuqian said quickly: "Yes! Ai Shang and the Xia family have always been in a cooperative relationship. Xia's supermarket has always had an Ai Shang cosmetics counter."
Wen Haowen seemed to still not want to believe it: "Is the news true?"
Ning Shuqian frantically took out her phone and called Xia Ruya: "I'm not sure either. I'll ask Ruya again!"
Unexpectedly, Wen Haowen snatched the phone from her hand and asked as soon as the call was connected: "Ruya, is the news that the Xiao family acquired Ai Shang true?"
Xia Ruya said, "Indeed, the Xiao family has already started to take action today. Uncle Wen should have noticed that the decline in Ai Shang's stock price today was even more severe than before."
Wen Haowen hung up the phone and quickly opened the stock market to check Ai Shang's stock. Sure enough... As of today, it has fallen below 100 points.
"It's over, it's over!" Wen Haowen slumped down on the sofa, his face dejected. He had heard before that the cosmetics brand Ai Shang had become a first-tier domestic cosmetics brand in less than five years after its launch, and many ladies and young ladies from prominent families liked to use this brand. If the Xiao family really acquired Ai Shang, then the Wen family's already small share of the cosmetics brand sales market would be divided up by the Xiao family.
According to the Xiao family's ambition, once cosmetics sales occupy the market, the market for other products of the Wen family will also be in jeopardy.
Ning Shuqian was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles, mumbling what to do. Suddenly, she widened her eyes and asked, "Haowen, do you think it's possible for the Jiang family to cooperate with the Xiao family to deal with the Wen family? After all, the Xiao family wants to occupy the luxury brand market, and the Jiang family has old and new grudges with Wen Xinya..."
This sentence shattered Wen Haowen's only remaining rationality, and a surge of anger rushed to his head: "It's all because of that bitch Wen Wenya that the Wen family has fallen into this predicament. Since she returned to the Wen family, nothing good has happened to the Wen family!"
He was confused for a moment and had not thought about this, but when Ning Shuqian said it, he felt that the possibility of this happening was very high.
What if the Jiang family and the Xiao family cooperate
These words kept echoing in his mind, his rationality gradually shattered into dust. He grabbed his coat and strode outside.
Ning Shuqian asked anxiously: "Haowen, where are you going?"
Wen Haowen said angrily: "I will go back to the old house now and teach that evil girl a lesson. Let's see how the old man can protect her."
Ning Shuqian said anxiously: "Haowen, I'll go with you."
Wen Haowen ignored her and hurried towards the door with his coat. Ning Shuqian quickly followed him.
