Chapter 1104: The Woman Behind a Successful Man

At the instant that the wine was poured into the gla.s.s, the aroma that was encapsulated in the bottle seemed to have been awakened as it wafted into the air. The dark red liquid glistened under the chandelier elegantly.

The sounds of wine gla.s.ses being clinked together rang in air resplendently.

Ning Shuqian asked, “Did the directors say when they’d approve of the fund request? Wen Xinya has jeopardized our banquet and she’s obviously out to terminate the project. I’m worried that there might be unwanted trouble if the delay is prolonged.”

Ning Shuqian had no idea what was going on, either. Ever since Wen Xinya messed up the banquet at Autumn Wind Jade Dew Pavilion, she had been overwhelmed with an ominous feeling and she felt that Wen Xinya was deliberately trying to delay the project because she had other plans in mind.

She dared not let her guard down at all.

Wen Haowen could not help but sneer. “Wen Xinya? Who does she think she is? Does she think she can terminate the entertainment city project just because she wants to? The directors have already approved of the fund request and the shareholders are now discussing it. We’ll be receiving the approval tomorrow.”

Wen Xinya thought that she could stall by jeopardizing the banquet. She’s got a great idea and she’s also guessed the mentalities of the shareholders, but she’s too inexperienced. She’s just a greenhorn. How could she know that men would be easily convinced after a few drinks?

Ning Shuqian asked in shock, “So soon?”

After the banquet, Wen Haowen brought the directors to the nightclub for some fun. However, it was inappropriate for Ning Shuqian to stay, so she made up an excuse to leave. To her surprise, Wen Haowen actually managed to convince the shareholders to approve of the fund request so soon.

Wen Haowen chuckled and said, “Of course. If I can’t even handle those shareholders, how can I be the CEO?”

Ning Shuqian snuggled into Wen Haowen’s embrace and smiled coquettishly. “Wow, wow, wow. Haowen, you’re really something. I thought that those shareholders would change their minds after what Wen Xinya did. I thought that the fund approval would be delayed further.”

The directors were much sharper and smarter than everyone else and they were all nominated by Old Mr. Wen. Hence, they obviously had to answer to him.

Feeling smug and proud after receiving the compliment from Ning Shuqian, Wen Haowen said, “You women wouldn’t understand what a man’s world is like, let alone that greenhorn Wen Xinya.”

Still feeling a little uneasy, Ning Shuqian murmured, “But… I heard that Wen Xinya has been making a lot of moves in the Wen Corporation lately.”

Not bothered at all, Wen Haowen said nonchalantly, “Leave her alone and let her be. I shall see what she can get up to.”

Wen Haowen spoke about Wen Xinya confidently.

Ning Shuqian decided to give him a reminder. “Haowen, that may be the case, but you shouldn’t belittle Wen Xinya. Didn’t you realize that Secretary Cao is always by her side during the board meetings? Secretary Cao obeys Wen Xinya, too. I’m starting to suspect that he has already become her secretary.”
