Chapter 1688 - Wen Xinya, the Acting Chairman (1/2)
Wen Xinya’s appeal towards the court to withdraw Ning Shuqian’s charges towards Wen Haowen was processed and instantly decided upon by the court.
This move was shocking to nearly everyone.
At the same time, Ning Shuqian’s news about her being diagnosed with hysteria was also widely publicized by the media, and journalists even got shots of Ning Shuqian’s hysteria acting up. In the video, two workers even sent Ning Shuqian to a mental institute. This image surprised everyone.
No one doubted that Ning Shuqian truly had hysteria.
Instantaneously, the media lost interest in the scandal between the Wen Family’s couple and shifted their focus towards Old Mr. Wen’s health condition.
The good thing was that, due to the court drama, Old Mr. Wen’s exact health condition was not known by the media, and thus, did not cause a large impact on the Wen Corporation.
The negative news surrounding the Wen Corporation was minimal, and their share prices began to rise.
In the midst of the Wen Corporation’s crisis, Wen Xinya’s actions of stepping up received praise and support from just about everyone in the Wen Corporation, and the few largest shareholders requested for a board of directors meeting, for a conference between the board of directors and the few largest shareholders.
Wen Xinya also participated in the directors’ meeting as the CEO of the corporation and as a shareholder.
“This time, while Old Mr. Wen was hospitalized, Wen Corporation had a crisis which was stabilized all thanks to Miss Wen stepping in at the critical moment to solve this major issue.”
“Without Miss Wen’s help, Wen Corporation may have suffered terribly in the midst of all of this scandal and storm, and may have even been entrenched in court affairs.”
“Good job to Miss Wen, always putting the welfare of the Wen Corporation in front of everything else, unlike some other person, who only burdens the Wen Corporation and pulls us down, hurting the Wen Corporation’s reputation!”
The few shareholders had many praises for Wen Xinya at this time, and the board of directors agreed with the shareholders. Some of the shareholders even began to scold Wen Haowen in front of everybody else.
Wen Xinya humbled herself in front of all of their recognition and praise and humbly said, “I’m just doing what I should do. I don’t deserve all the praise from all of you directors and shareholders.”
Wen Haowen’s face turned livid and his expression soured, angry and filled with hatred.
He looked at Wen Xinya, who was sitting diagonally across from him in professional office wear, looking calm and restrained. It was at that moment that he realized that Wen Xinya had changed so much.
Although the news of Ning Shuqian having hysteria shifted media attention away from his scandals and drama with her, as the person involved, his reputation and future had already been ruined, and his image in the Wen Corporation was already utterly destroyed. He no longer had any power in the board of directors and amongst the shareholders.
On the other hand, Wen Xinya had taken over his old position and received praise from everyone around.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he had become Wen Xinya’s stepping stone.
Qian Jianhui, representing the shareholders, spoke, “During Wen Haowen’s tenure, due to his personal reasons, he caused the Wen Corporation to suffer losses, and the profits, welfare, and rights of the shareholders suffered as well.
“As the chairman of this organization, he did not perform his duty well and neglected the needs of the Wen Corporation and the shareholders. This forced some of the shareholders to sell their shares, which caused panic in the corporation and chaos internally. With the agreement of the few of us shareholders, we have decided to temporarily remove Wen Haowen from his post as chairman and his duties, and request that he be investigated by the board of directors.”
Qian Jianhui was one of the Wen Corporation’s original shareholders and garnered a lot of respect and power amongst all of the shareholders.
