Chapter 854 - Teacher Xiasi (1/2)

The Xiao Family was rather quick to make a response to the scandal. They spent a huge sum of money to wiped out all of the major media agencies and boycotting them. They had also hired a ma.s.sive number of hackers to handle the matter. Soon… the matter was taken into control and, although they could not put it to an end entirely, they managed to stop it from spiraling out of control.

Xiao Zhiyuan had managed to secure his position as CEO with the help of Old Mr. Xiao.

However, the series of actions did not manage to salvage the Xiao Family’s reputation and face. Neither did it stop the Xiao Corporation’s stock prices from declining.

Although Wen Xinya found it a pity that the Xiao Corporation did not end up in a predicament as dire as that of the previous lifetime, she had already expected it.

After all… Chu Jingnan had indeed put in a ton of effort into setting up a trap to deal with Xiao Zhiyuan and caused the scandal to spiral out of control. As a result, Xiao Zhiyuan was forced to resign from his position as CEO of the Xiao Corporation. Back then, Chu Jingnan managed to compel Old Mr. Xiao into removing Xiao Zhiyuan from his seat, using his strong connections and outstanding abilities. Besides… Chu Jingnan was the flesh and blood of the Xiao Family and no one would want outsiders to take over the Xiao Corporation.

In this lifetime, Wen Xinya had no idea what plans Chu Jingnan had executed, which caused Xiao Zhiyuan to be in hot soup and spark an outrage amongst the shareholders. Hence, that was all she could do.

However… she was already more than happy with it.

Staring at the girl in front of him who was beautiful and full of confidence, Si Yiyan kissed her baby hairs and said, “You actually took control over such a major corporation and caused them to suffer heavy losses. You’ve become much more scheming in these two years.”

Two years ago, she did not execute a perfect plan even though she had prepared to sabotage the Xiao Family’s plan to acquire the Ai Shang Group, since a long time ago. If he did not help her, she might not have been able to achieve such an outcome and wrap the Xiao Family around her finger. In fact… she might not have been able to cause the Ai Shang Group stock prices to rise tremendously. He made up for all of her shortcomings.

However, she had singlehandedly hatched such an elaborate and seamless plot to deal with the Xiao Family and, at the same time, get rid of all the factors that would affect the execution.

Her growth was truly astonis.h.i.+ng.

Wen Xinya giggled and said, “I’m going to get conceited if you keep praising me like this!”

Si Yiyan’s compliment gave her a huge sense of compliment, and she looked rather smug.

Si Yiyan grazed his fingers against her eyebrows and said, “You deserve to feel proud, so it’s alright to be arrogant.”

Wen Xinya pouted and said, “Don’t they always say that one ought to be modest in order to improve oneself and that arrogance will cause one to deteriorate?” She grabbed his collar and glowered at him. “Tell me, what ill intentions are you harboring for teaching me to be arrogant?”

Si Yiyan’s heart melted upon sight of her adorableness. “An appropriate amount of pride is a form of self-affirmation and a way to show your confidence.”

Glaring at him in displeasure, Wen Xinya groused. “You’re always so full of excuses. I can never outargue you.”

Although Si Yiyan disliked arguing, no one could ever outargue him, and his words would often render everyone else speechless.

Unable to contain his amus.e.m.e.nt, Si Yiyan chuckled and grabbed her hand tightly. He suddenly realized how tiny her hand was and began to treat it with more affection.

Feeling a little aroused, Si Yiyan kissed her and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Are you done with your practice questions yet?”
