Chapter 1100 - Inviting the Directors (1/2)

Wen Xinya received a call from Secretary Cao during the three days that she had to make preparations in order to stop the entertainment city project from proceeding.

Wen Xinya hurriedly rushed to Autumn Wind Jade Dew Pavilion.

Autumn Wind Jade Dew Pavilion was one of the most renowned clubs in the city, just like Ninth-Heaven, the symbol of status, and the Jiayuan Club, which was a paradise for the rich. Fragrant tea and wine were served in Autumn Wind Jade Dew Pavilion which was known for its elegance and scholarly vibe.

It was a popular joint amongst the wealthy members of the upper-class society who enjoyed being pretentious.

As soon as Wen Xinya entered the main atrium of Autumn Wind Jade Dew Pavilion, Secretary Cao rushed towards her and said, “Wen Haowen has invited all of the directors to a banquet here under the pretext of celebrating Ning Shuqian’s new position as director. I’ve only found out about this just now.”

Wen Xinya pressed her lips gently together. She had already guessed that Ning Shuqian merely agreed to give the shareholders three days to consider approving the fund for the entertainment city, simply because she did not wish to offend the directors during the Wen Corporation’s board meeting.

However, Ning Shuqian was no fool and she was obviously well aware that the longer they dragged the development on for, the more trouble there would be. Hence, it was only expected that she wouldn’t sit back and do nothing.

Their purpose of throwing a banquet and inviting the shareholders was actually to cozy up to the shareholders in order to have the funds approved as soon as possible, and not to celebrate Ning Shuqian’s new position.

Although the shareholders were given three days to decide, they could come to a decision within a shorter period of time too.

That was Ning Shuqian’s motive. During the board meeting, she had given the directors face and the directors were no fools at all. Since the funds had to be approved sooner or later, they felt that it didn’t matter whether or not there was a delay. Since Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian showed them due respect, they had to do the same.

What a seamless plan.

Wen Xinya asked coldly, “How many directors are present?”

It was impossible for all of the directors to be convinced by Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian. Hence, she was excited to see how Wen Haowen managed to convince them.

Secretary Cao answered softly, “24 out of the 36 members of the board are present today. I’ve already consolidated a name list.”

Secretary Cao found out the list of names at the instant that he found out about the banquet.

Wen Xinya remained silent.

In order to create a vintage vibe, the owners of Autumn Wind Jade Dew Pavilion opted for an Ancient Chinese-style walkway which was elegant and grand. There were also live water features and a pond in the courtyard, in which there were some water lilies and green lotus leaves. There were also some disporums and chrysanthemums which bloomed the most vibrantly in August. They were lush and pleasant.

Autumn Wind Jade Dew Pavilion truly lived up to its name.

Secretary Cao said, “According to what I know, Wen Haowen has ordered ten cartons of 1988 Chateau Lafite Rothschild.”

Ten cartons! It would be impossible to finish all of them during the banquet.
