Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 761

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Xinya was watching the live stream of Wen Haowen's press conference, and although she detested Wen Haowen, she could not help but take her hat's off to him.

 Indeed, they all belonged to the same family. Wen Haowen had acting chops that could win him an Oscar award, just like Ning Shuqian.

 He had first decided to shed light on Ning Shuqian's vicious misdeeds so as to win everyone's sympathy. He painted a picture of receiving deceit and betrayal in exchange for his devotion towards Ning Shuqian. He then used his frustration towards Ning Shuqian's refusal to sign the divorce papers as a reason for his encounter with Yang Ziyu. He was indirectly implying that Ning Shuqian was the one who caused him to commit adultery.

He played the victim and expressed his disappointment towards Ning Shuqian as well as a complicated mix of emotions.

 Ning Shuqian decided to use the deterioration of her mental illness to make Wen Haowen be seen as scum to the public, whereas Wen Haowen juxtaposed his devotion against Ning Shuqian's misdeeds.

Wen Haowen was just like a slut who was playing the chastity card.

 They used to be a loving married couple and yet, they were now turning their backs against each other.

 Needless to say, the most powerful trick he had pulled was to bring up the news about the success of Ai Shang Group's research, thus channeling the media's attention towards the new products that were about to be launched by Ai Shang Group. Not only was he helping Ai Shang Group publicize their products, but he had also given the stockholders more confidence. He was also certain that the stock prices of the Wen Corporation would begin to rise.

 Even Wen Xinya had no choice but to admit that Wen Haowen did have a few tricks up his sleeve and knew how to handle things. After all, he had been the CEO of the Wen Corporation for almost two decades.

Ouyang Feng browsed through the Wen Corporation's stock prices on his mobile phone before saying, “As soon as the press conference ended, the Wen Corporation's stock prices have stopped plunging and begun to rise. I reckon the Wen Corporation will rise back to normal in at most a week.”

 Wen Xinya nodded and said, “The Wen Corporation has been established for decades and the stock prices have always been stable. Wen Haowen's adulterous affair may have caused some fluctuations, but now that he has already given the stockholders of the Wen Corporation an answer, they will definitely start to regain their confidence in the Wen Corporation. Besides… the launching of Ai Shang Group's cosmetics has also given them more confidence. They'll definitely believe in the Wen Corporation.”

 Ouyang Feng nodded and said, “My prediction is that the Wen Corporation's stock prices will plummet during the launch of Ai Shang Group's products. Do you plan to invest the funds that you entrusted me to manage into the Wen Corporation's stocks?”

 What rises would drop and vice versa. The Wen Corporation was definitely going to make a comeback with Ai Shang Group as their trump card.

Wen Xinya's eyes glistened and she exclaimed, “Yes, of course. Why not? Why should I turn down money?”

 Staring at the money-grubbing Wen Xinya, Ouyang Feng burst into laughter and said, “Alright! Leave this to me.”

 Wen Xinya nodded. She had always trusted Ouyang Feng and his abilities.

 Ouyang Feng looked at Yan Shaoqing, who was reading some documents, and patted him on his shoulder. “Would you like to invest too? I can guarantee that you'll strike a fortune.”

 Yan Shaoqing shook his head and said, “I'm not interested in stocks.”

 Ouyang Feng felt extremely helpless about how honest Yan Shaoqing was. Even if Wen Xinya had given him the green light, he still did not want to reap some benefits for himself.

 Wen Xinya stared at the look of hopelessness on Ouyang Feng's face and asked, “How's the situation at the Xia Family going?”

 She had been too immersed in the news revolving around Wen Haowen's adultery.

 Yan Shaoqing said, “The Xia Family has already paid the second fine and they have no choice but to stop the sales of the prohibited products. They've incurred a major loss and their reputation in the business world has been ruined. Lots of their clients and customers have asked for refunds and the Xia Family has no reason to refute them. They've already processed the first batch of refunds, though things have been draggy. I reckon they're facing some financial difficulties. They've also gone on to hold even more discounts and promotions in their supermarkets, but no one's really buying it.”

 The Xia Family was indeed in a terrible predicament.

Wen Xinya smirked, glad to hear that everything was going according to her plan. “What has the Xia Family's in-laws, the Chen Family done?”

The Xia Family and Chen Family had always been in partnership with each other. Well… in the previous lifetime, the Xia Family encroached the entire Chen Family and caused Chen Linfang to kill herself.

 Yan Shaoqing answered, “Xia Haolin has been visiting the Chen Family rather often, but they're in need of too much funds. The Chen Family won't be able to help even if they want to.”

 The Chen Family was no fool, either. They wouldn't risk losing their family fortune in order to aid the Xia Family.

 Wen Xinya looked out of the window coldly and asked, “I told you to pay attention to Xia Haolin's villa in the suburbs. Is there any news about that yet?”

 That was the most crucial factor she needed in order to manipulate Xia Haolin.

 Yan Shaoqing stared at Wen Xinya in astonishment and said, “There's already an outcome. Don't worry, I've already taken control of the situation. We'll definitely acquire that plot of land.”

 Wen Xinya had always been decisive and had a mind of her own. She would often devise meticulous plans which she would make sure were successful. Yan Shaoqing was in awe and respect of her for her wit and foresight.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Seems like everything is ready and we're only lacking one crucial element.”

 Her tone was cold and intimidating, seemingly plotting something evil.

 Yan Shaoqing exclaimed with a nod, “Yes!”

Having received a certain answer, Wen Xinya said calmly, “According to what I know, the Xia Family has been delaying the payment of wages to the workers involved in the transitioning. Those workers are villagers who toiled and moiled for a living. Yet, these vicious capitalists are still delaying their payment. Shall we do justice for those poor villagers?”

 Wen Xinya appeared sullen and cold. She could not help but be reminded of what happened in her previous lifetime, during which she moved bricks for a living before she reunited with the Wen Family. She was about twelve back then, and although the villagers were a little boorish, they were kind enough to take care of her and help her through the tough times.

Yan Shaoqing understood what she meant. He said reassuringly, “Don't worry, leave this to me to handle.”

 Wen Xinya said with a slight frown, “You must be very careful. Don't harm the innocent or result in the loss of any life.”

 Although she was bent on making use of the situation, she truly hoped for those workers to receive their due wages which they had slogged away for.

Yan Shaoqing said, “Rest assured, I know the appropriate thing to do.”

 Wen Xinya nodded. The demand for the workers' wages would be the last straw that broke the Xia Family's back.
