Chapter 1772 - How Deeply Scheming! (1/2)

Xiao Corporation’s annual anniversary celebration was held as planned.

After Chu Jingnan took over as Xiao Corporation’s CEO, this was the first time he was formally facing the media and appearing in a high profile manner in the upper-class society, solidifying his status in the Xiao Corporation.

After this, Chu Jingnan would make use of the Xiao Family’s power to oppress the board and further control Xiao Corporation.

After Xiao Chengyu’s death, the Xiao Family fell into a crisis. Within Xiao Corporation, power struggles were taking place.

“Then, Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya plotted for Xiao Chengyu’s death to tilt the balance and create chaos within Xiao Corporation so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to enter. This is only the first step of their plan.”

Si Yiyan smirked and looked at her, his dark eyes filled with deep meaning.

Wen Xinya naturally understood what he meant. “The second step of their plan is to exploit the shareholders of the Xiao Corporation to attack the Xiao Family’s foundation in the corporation and make the Xiao Family unable to make a comeback.

“The third step will be to make use of the 4% shareholdings in his hands to force the Xiao Family into submission. In order to protect their own interests, the Xiao Family will naturally be manipulated by Xiao Jingnan. In this case, Chu Jingnan would have completed a third of his scheme to obtain the Xiao Family’s business.”

Wen Xinya couldn’t help but gasp in her heart.

Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan were really so scheming! They totally manipulated the Xiao Family’s circumstances. Right now, everything was going according to their plan.

Chu Jingnan was at the peak of his power in Xiao Corporation and was battling it out with the shareholders.

A cold smile broke out on Si Yiyan’s face. “It’s too bad that Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan fell just a little short. When it comes to scheming and methods, the two of them are capable, but in terms of experience, they’re a far cry from the eighty-year-old sharp man.”

Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya’s biggest mistake was thinking too highly of themselves since they were backed by people from the Korean-Chinese Alliance and belittling Old Mr. Xiao.

Old Mr. Xiao was indeed hospitalized with a serious condition, having suffered from a stroke, and was unable to control the situation at the Xiao Corporation.

However, his brain was still around.

Wen Xinya completely understood. “Chu Jingnan’s three-step plan is indeed well thought out. However, Old Mr. Xiao has long seen through his trick and purposely opened the doors of the Xiao Corporation, made use of the Xiao Family’s declining influence to the shareholders to appear weak, and lure Chu Jingnan to enter with 4% shareholdings, so that he can be in control of the situation.”

Wen Xinya only truly saw through Old Mr. Xiao’s deeply scheming plot at this moment. Although she didn’t think much of the Xiao Family, she couldn’t help but be impressed.

The Xiao Family purposely appeared weak and passive and fully supported Chu Jingnan in his battles with the directors and shareholders as they sat out to reap the spoils later. One party was the ambitious Chu Jingnan who sought to devour the Xiao Family, while the other was the parasitic shareholders who were biting back at the Xiao Family—regardless of who won, the battle between them wasn’t a bad thing for the Xiao Family. If both parties were to be seriously injured due to this, the Xiao Family could indeed stand to gain as the uninvolved third party.

And Chu Jingnan naturally knew that the Xiao Family was making use of him as well.

However, he didn’t take it to heart.

Because, in his eyes, Old Mr. Xiao was seriously ill and couldn’t take control of the situation, and Xiao Zhiyuan was too useless and could only be manipulated by him eventually.

However, he couldn’t see the forest for the trees.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Exactly!”
