Chapter 1029 - Whos Causing a Stir While Hiding Behind the Wen Family? (1/2)
Wen Xinya filled in her university application forms and struck something off her to-do list. Now, all she had to do was wait for Capital University to inform her of her successful admission and wait for school to begin in September.
Wen Xinya stretched her back and began thinking about how she should spend the remaining two months of her long holiday. Should I go on a short vacation with Si Yiyan? Or should I go to Hawaii to bask in the sun with my friends?
However, she soon thought about the situation in the Wen Corporation and let out a long sigh. It was not the best time to go on a vacation now.
The entertainment city may seem perfect and profitable, but it was full of loopholes that no one could prevent against. One mistake and the entire Wen Corporation’s interests would be affected. Hence, she had no choice but to be wary.
Wen Xinya whipped out her mobile phone and opened her email mailbox to see that she had an unread email which was sent by Celestial Detective Agency, regarding the land in the West City, on which the entertainment city was to be built.
The information provided by Celestial Detective Agency was rather detailed and it included the personal details of the owner of that plot of land, as well as the triads around the area. After reading through the information, a sullen expression formed on Wen Xinya’s face.
Ever since history, buying land in a resettlement site was never a good thing for the citizens and everyone would often feel conflicted. The numerous acquisitions of land that took place in China had resulted in numerous tragedies. She reckoned that the building of the entertainment city on that plot of land would result in a whole string of problems.
Not to mention, West City was complicated and rowdy, with all sorts of people and gangsters. It was not a wise decision for the Wen Corporation, which ran a proper business, to get involved with them. Those people had nothing to lose and they would do anything to safeguard their interests. Although the Wen Corporation was not afraid of them, its reputation would be damaged if they were to be stuck in a knotty situation.
The best way to acquire a large plot of land for major developments was to purchase the land directly from the government. However, West City was not part of the government land sales region and hence, it would be impossible for them to bid for the land.
Wen Xinya printed the doc.u.ment and sorted it simply. After some thought, she decided to seek Old Mr. Wen’s opinion.
“My granddaughter obtained a score of 703. Hmm… she’s done well. She didn’t embarra.s.s me…”
Wen Xinya could not help but feel a little embarra.s.sed and shy. Lately, she had been hearing those words repeatedly. It was just the final examinations and yet, Old Mr. Wen was already so smug that he called everyone to brag about her stellar performance. He even called his old friends whom he had not contacted for years.
Old Mr. Wen said some words before ending the call. Glancing at his granddaughter who was standing at a spot not too far away from him, he smiled and asked, “Xinya, when did you arrive? Is there a reason you’re here to see me?”
Wen Xinya’s results had managed to salvage his pride. Although he had an incompetent son, he had an outstanding and brilliant granddaughter, thus making him the subject of envy of everyone.
Wen Xinya took a seat beside Old Mr. Wen and said, “Grandpa, I’ve read through the relevant information regarding the entertainment city that Father wants to build. Although it seems feasible, I don’t approve of it.”
She expressed her intentions directly without beating around the bush.
Old Mr. Wen’s smiled faded and he said, “You actually have great patience. I thought you’d come to see me earlier.”
Since he had instructed Secretary Cao to a.s.sist Wen Xinya, he thought that Secretary Cao would definitely inform her of the matter on the second day of her return. He felt that she would definitely talk to him about it as soon as she found out. However, several days had pa.s.sed and it was as if she did not know about it at all. He began to find her hard to predict.
