Chapter 1082 - The Chess Piece in Her Hand (1/2)

Wen Xinya was in the midst of a game of chess with Old Mr. Wen.

Honestly speaking, she was not exactly great at Chinese chess and only knew the basic rules of the game. She was completely clueless about how to plan strategic moves. Hence, she lost all three games terribly.

What is Grandpa thinking? I’m so bad at playing chess and yet, he still seems so interested and excited to play with me. I have no choice but to sacrifice my pride.

While playing chess, Old Mr. Wen said, “Your father called me just now to say that the development of the entertainment city is about to begin soon. He’s been very busy with work lately, so he’s planning to move out.”

Actually, Wen Haowen was just going to move in with Ning Shuqian and Old Mr. Wen was well aware of that fact too, though he did not expose or try to stop him. At this point, his relationship with Wen Haowen was so strained that they were nothing more than a pair of father and son related by blood. Old Mr. Wen had long given up on him. And the fact that Wen Haowen now possessed 20% of the Wen Corporation’s shares did not matter to Old Mr. Wen at all.

Wen Xinya paused in her actions and looked up at Old Mr. Wen, who seemed to be just talking about a casual topic. “The media has already reported about him reconciling with Ning Shuqian. There’s no need to cover up anymore.”

She did not expect that Wen Haowen would act so brazenly in front of Old Mr. Wen.

Did that 20% of the Wen Corporation’s shares give him that confidence?

Or was it the entertainment city project that had done so?

Old Mr. Wen sneered. “He thinks he has the final say in the Wen Corporation just because he holds 20% of the Wen Corporation’s shares and is holding the stable position of CEO. He thinks that I won’t be able to do anything to him once the entertainment city development goes into full swing and generates a massive amount of revenue for the Wen Corporation. That’s why he doesn’t even show me any respect now.”

Wen Haowen had already lost, for he was acting like a winner before he even succeeded.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “My father is so silly and naive to think that you’ll really stay out of the Wen Corporation’s management just because you’ve retired from the business world.”

Old Mr. Wen may have retired, but even then, he still had the final say in the Wen Corporation. Otherwise… the incompetent Wen Haowen wouldn’t have been able to deal with the shareholders at all. He wouldn’t even be able to control the board of directors, let alone the entire Wen Corporation.

Old Mr. Wen said coldly, “He thinks that he can cover up just by pretending to be a devoted husband in front of the reporters. Little does he know that Ning Shuqian’s reputation is badly ruined. He has merely picked up a rock from a pile of feces. I wonder how others are mocking him now.”

Wen Xinya smiled calmly without answering.

Old Mr. Wen changed the subject. “What do you think Ning Shuqian will do next?”

Previously, Wen Xinya informed him that there was a person behind Ning Shuqian and he had also completely believed her after observing the situation for some time. Ning Shuqian had an agenda for every move that she made.

Wen Xinya laughed and answered, “I think she’ll openly interfere with the entertainment city project.”

First, she put in painstaking efforts to get herself discharged, after which her relationship with Wen Haowen was exposed to the media. Although the two seemed to be trivial matters, she had actually done that just to openly interfere with the entertainment city project.

After all, Ning Shuqian had begun planting her snitches in the sister company for the entertainment city project as soon as she got discharged.

Old Mr. Wen suddenly said curiously, “You seem to be very confident.”

Even he could not guess Ning Shuqian’s intentions.
