Chapter 1054 - The Battle Between Wen Haowen and His Daughter (1/2)

The Xiao Family!

Old Mr. Xiao and Xiao Zhiyuan were in the midst of playing chess.

While focusing on the chessboard, Old Mr. Xiao asked, “How are things going at the Xiao Corporation?”

The Yang Ziyu incident had exposed the fact that the Xiao Family had colluded with the Jiang family to go against the Wen Family, as well as Xiao Zhiyuan’s scandal and his illegitimate son.

Xiao Zhiyuan was careful enough to make sure that no one got ahold of any evidence of him having a mistress. Hence, the news had begun to die down gradually, partly also because of the bribes that the Xiao Family had given the media. However… it was impossible for the Xiao Family to salvage their reputation within a short period of time.

Tightening his grip on the chess piece, Xiao Zhiyuan said, “Yuechan has given the 3% of Xiao Corporation’s shares that she owned to Chengyu. The Lin Family has been giving Chengyu a push too. We hold most of the Xiao Corporation’s shares and, now that the chaos has died down, the shareholders are no longer as displeased with us as they were at the start. After all… I’ve done so much for the corporation over the years. They’re still waiting for us to help them earn money.”

Lin Yuechan had already filed for separation from him and never returned to the Xiao Family ever since. The fact that she had transferred her shares to their son, Xiao Chengyu, simply meant that she no longer wanted to be involved with the Xiao Family. The Lin Family still contacted the Xiao Family, but solely because of Xiao Chengyu.

The thought of his wife made a regretful expression form in Xiao Zhiyuan’s eyes.

Old Mr. Xiao said with a sigh, “Yuechan has really done everything called for by humanity and kindness.”

Regardless, the ordeal could be considered to be over for the Xiao Family. All they could do now was to salvage their reputation slowly.

Xiao Zhiyuan had a sullen expression on his face and he remained silent.

Old Mr. Xiao questioned, “Do you have an opinion about the entertainment city that the Wen Family is going to build?”

The Xiao Family’s secrets were almost revealed and they were almost ruined. However, the Wen Family seemed to have experienced peace after the Ai Shang product launch and Old Mr. Xiao was glad that the Wen Family had not attacked them yet.

Xiao Zhiyuan suppressed his emotions and said, “I think it’s not desirable for the Wen Family to develop the entertainment city now. Ai Shang’s products have been distributed domestically and they have even expanded to the overseas market, and they have garnered the support of many women too. If they were to build the entertainment city now, their current operations will definitely be affected. Besides… you need incredible power and wealth to build an entertainment city. Even though an entertainment city is lucrative, it is very risky too. And most importantly, even the Gu Family doesn’t have the guts to take on such a large scale development. Who is the Wen Family to do so? I bet Wen Haowen was the one who came up with this.”

As a man who had also been embroiled in a scandal, Xiao Zhiyuan could totally understand how Wen Haowen felt at the moment. It was only understandable that he would raise the idea of building an entertainment city. He was actually surprised that Old Mr. Wen had agreed to it.

Old Mr. Xiao nodded and said, “You’re right. We all know that. And Wen Zhihang definitely is aware of the cons too. Even though he’s already retired, he’s still the chairman of the Wen Corporation and the final decision-maker. Yet, he didn’t oppose to it. I wonder what he’s thinking.”

The Xiao Family could not understand the rationale behind their decision to build the entertainment city, for it was full of suspiciousness.
