Xiao Zhiyuan has always been high-spirited and proud, but now he is in a state of disgrace, as if his soul has been revealed. Old Master Xiao sighed slightly and could not bear to blame him anymore: "It is also my fault. I underestimated the little girl of the Wen family. I didn't expect... She actually calculated step by step and dealt a heavy blow to the Xiao family in the end."
Xiao Zhiyuan took a deep breath and calmed his surging emotions: "Dad, you are right, we all underestimated Wen Xinya. Wen Xinya had been living outside for fifteen years and had lived on the streets. As soon as she returned to the Wen family, she established a firm foothold in the Wen family and cleared all obstacles for herself in the Wen family. Even this scheming should not be underestimated."
Looking back, Wen Xinya's stepsister was kicked out of the Wen family and sent abroad, her stepmother was labeled as vicious and cruel, and even the daughter that the Wen family had raised for twelve years turned out to be a vicious and calculating ungrateful person. How could there be such a coincidence in the world
Old Master Xiao nodded solemnly, "Wen Xinya is a rich girl. It is definitely not accidental that she has come this far. She is very scheming and has great strategies. There is no other youngster in our circle who can make things happen like her. She came from an unrighteous background and must know many tricks."
Xiao Zhiyuan said: "This time, the Wen family used a series of methods to deal with the Xiao family, whether it was using the media to expose the Xiao family's plot against the Wen family, or using Lanxin Investment Company to spread rumors that were unfavorable to the Xiao family. In the eyes of the Xiao family, these methods were all inferior. Because the Xiao family was powerful, why should they be afraid of these evil methods? In the end, the Xiao family was induced to invest a large amount of money in the stock market. Until my scandal was exposed, all the funds invested by the Xiao family in the stock market were wasted. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but their reputation was also ruined in one move. I guess her next step should be to use the Wen Group to attack the Xiao family, seize the victory and pursue it, so that the Xiao family will never recover."
Old Master Xiao thought about it carefully, and his expression became more solemn: "What a scheming girl! Although she is the heir of the Wen family and holds 10% of the shares of the Wen Group, she is not qualified to participate in the decision-making of the Wen Group. It is naturally impossible for her to deal with the Xiao family. So she worked hard to set up a huge situation and created an opportunity for the Wen family to deal with the Xiao family."
Both of them had solemn expressions. It was definitely not a good thing for the Xiao family that the Wen family had a younger generation with such a character.
Old Master Wen gnashed his teeth and said, "No wonder that old man Wen Zhihang thinks so highly of her. She does have the ability to do so."
Xiao Zhiyuan took a deep breath, calmed his inner complexities, and changed the subject: "The most urgent task is to raise funds to stabilize the Xiao Group's stock market to deal with the Wen family's pursuit of victory, but on the board of directors, Dad... The interests of the group have suffered huge losses because of me. My reputation in the shareholders' meeting has declined. I guess those shareholders will be dissatisfied with me. I am afraid that I will be obstructed in dealing with the Wen family's aggressive attack."
Those shareholders only care about dividends, and getting them to take out money is more difficult than taking their lives.
Old Master Xiao said sternly, "I still have this old bone of mine to support the shareholders' meeting."
Although he is old, he can still shock those old guys.
Xiao Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dad, fortunately my scandal just broke out, and those media reporters haven't really dug up any strong evidence. As long as we take good care of it, they won't be able to come up with anything new. But... As for the media, we still need you to help. I know you have old friends there who can speak for you."
He had previously asked his secretary to handle the matter of supporting a female college student. Fortunately, due to the uproar over Wen Haowen's cheating scandal, he has been more cautious and quiet recently. Reporters cannot create new news, and with proper management, the incident probably will not be exaggerated.
Old Master Xiao listened to his clear and logical arrangements and felt comforted: "Don't worry, I will help you settle this matter even if it means risking my reputation this time."
We are not afraid of something happening, we are just afraid that once something happens, there is no solution. The current situation is already pretty good. If we manage it well, the Xiao family will be able to overcome this crisis.
Xiao Zhiyuan was very grateful: "Dad, thank you. I am ashamed that you and your son are embarrassed together."
Old Master Xiao waved his hand and changed the subject: "By the way... what's the matter with Chu Jingnan? Is he your illegitimate son?"
The newspaper said that there was a nose and eyes. He looked at the comparison photos of the two people and felt a little uneasy.
Xiao Zhiyuan quickly said, "Dad, how is this possible? I am always very careful outside and would never cause anyone to die."
He has always been cautious about this matter and naturally would not allow any complications to arise.
Old Master Xiao gently pressed his right eye, which was twitching non-stop, and frowned slightly, saying, "That being said, it is better to check it out for the sake of caution. In addition... proving that Chu Jingnan is not your illegitimate child will also be beneficial to your reputation."
That Chu Jingnan always made him feel uneasy, and he hoped that his perception was wrong.
Xiao Zhiyuan nodded: "Dad! Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
He admired the young man Chu Jingnan very much. He not only had insights but also strategies, so he kept him by his side. However, he didn't want a scandal to happen because of him. It seemed... Chu Jingnan was not suitable to stay in the company anymore.
Old Master Xiao nodded: "As for your wife, you... just comfort her! She must feel bad after something like this happened. For so many years, she has given birth to and raised children for the Wen family, and has made great contributions. This time... you are really a bastard, don't let her feel disappointed."
He couldn't find any fault with his wife Lin Yuechan.
Speaking of his wife, Xiao Zhiyuan's clear face showed an unnatural guilty look: "Dad, don't worry, I will explain it to her."
Old Master Xiao added: "As for Chengyu, you have to comfort him as well. I know you have been quite dissatisfied with him recently, but Chengyu is a good boy. You, as a father, should let him bear such a thing."
Xiao Zhiyuan lowered his head and listened to the instructions.
Finally, Mr. Xiao sighed and said, "Zhiyuan, cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and pacifying the world is an eternal truth. Only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper!"
What happened to Zhiyuan, and he didn't know what would happen to his family. He always felt uneasy.
After explaining these things, the usually straight back of the old man of the Xiao family suddenly became hunched, and the whole person seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. This scandal will have immeasurable consequences for the Xiao family.
This is the crisis of the Xiao family.
I hope the Xiao family can get through this safely.
