Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The Xiao Family’s matter had finally been finalized. Within just half a month, the Xiao Family faced their defeat. Their stocks almost crashed after hitting an all-time low. Hence, the Xiao Family lost their status in the upper-class society and Xiao Zhiyuan managed to keep his position as CEO by a close shave. However, he was not in a stable position, and the Xiao Family would go into hiatus soon.

The Wen Family stood to gain this time. Everyone knew that Old Mr. Wen was focusing all of his attention on the establishment of the charity fund and hence, stayed out of the Wen Corporation’s matters. Besides, Wen Haowen was incompetent and overly ambitious. Hence, it was not difficult to guess that Wen Xinya was the one behind the execution of those plans.

Although Wen Xinya was young, no one dared to belittle her. After all, she was taught by Old Mr. Mo and had also earned the recognition of Old Mr. Wen.

This time, Wen Xinya managed to give everyone a warning by dealing with the Xiao Family.

While having some tea with Old Mr. Wen, Wen Xinya said, “Grandpa, this is premium West Lake Biluochun tea. Give it a try and see if you like how it tastes.”

If one were to get immersed in tea-brewing, they would realize that it was an enjoyable thing that involves wisdom and skill. It was an ancient treasure that would be enjoyed only when one took it seriously and put in the effort.

Old Mr. Wen watched as she brew tea with much grace and finesse. He knew that her skills had improved again. He picked up the teacup and gave it a little whiff. “The tea is mild yet fragrant. It’s of good quality.” He then took another sip and continued, “It smells wonderful and the taste lingers. Amazing.”

He enjoyed tea-tasting, but his wife was unfortunately not a fan and Wen Haowen was too mediocre to enjoy tea. To his surprise, Wen Xinya turned out to be the one who could have in-depth discussions with him about tea.

Wen Xinya smiled calmly and said, “It’s all thanks to the premium tea leaves that allow the tea to be fragrant.”

Old Mr. Wen said, “Regardless of how good the tea leaves are, it still depends on the skills of the brewer.”

There were hidden meanings to his words. He had already built a strong foundation for the Wen Corporation, which unfortunately did not flourish in the hands of Wen Haowen. As a result, the Wen Family was reduced to third place in the ranking of the four major families. Yet, Wen Xinya could help take the Wen Corporation to a greater level. That was the difference between the two of them.

Wen Xinya smiled and remained silent.

Old Mr. Wen gazed at her with a look of satisfaction and said, “Secretary Cao has already told me about what you’ve done to the Xiao Family this time. I really didn’t get the wrong impression of you. You’re a good kid who can take on major responsibilities.”

Old Mr. Wen was surprised that Secretary Cao was full of praises and respect for her. Secretary Cao was extremely competent and Old Mr. Wen initially hoped for him to train Wen Xinya and guide her along. To his surprise, she managed to earn his respect.

Wen Xinya was not shocked at all. Although Secretary Cao had been giving her help and assistance, he was still Old Mr. Wen’s secretary at the end of the day. “Those scheming tricks that I have used are not upright or morally correct. I was just taking advantage of the situation. I still have a lot to learn about business management.”

If the Xiao Family did not belittle her right from the start, she wouldn’t have been able to take advantage so easily.

Old Mr. Wen smiled and changed the subject. “Xinya, you’ve done a great job this time. The Xiao Family has indeed been too haughty all these years, and they’re so conceited that they forgot about how experienced we are. Back then, we used to be in second place, though we’ve deteriorated. However, we still have the foundation that we’ve painstakingly built. How dare they provoke the Wen Family? In that case, they shall have a taste of failure.”

Regardless of how strong the Wen Family was, they would forever be inferior to the Xiao Family because of how incompetent Wen Haowen was. That was the reason why he remained silent and allowed the Xiao Family to undermine them while hiding their real abilities throughout all these years.

However, things were different now that Wen Xinya had returned to the Wen Family. She had come up with a brilliant plan this time and did not reveal the Wen Family’s hidden powers just to deal with them. It simply meant that she had greater ambitions.

Wen Xinya smiled calmly and said, “The Wen Family’s authority is not be challenged. Grandpa… I’ve always remembered your words.”
