Wen Haowen headed to the office feeling indignant and frustrated. Ning Shuqian was still out of sorts. Although her face had become less red and swollen thanks to her meticulous care, she still felt a stinging pain.
Ning Shuqian finally understood what it felt like to have her plans get backfired.
It was as if she had given herself a hard slap which made her feel unbearable pain, though she had no choice but to bear with it.
She deliberately plotted the chandelier incident with ill intentions, because she wanted to harm Wen Xinyan and the Wen Corporation. However, the outcome turned out to be different from what she had expected and hence, she had no choice but to make an issue out of Mo Yunyao’s masterpieces and instigate Wen Haowen to support the heirloom sales strategy. So what if she felt angry and indignant?
For the first time in her life, Ning Shuqian felt extremely powerless. It was as if nothing she did to deal with Wen Xinya was of any use. It seemed Wen Xinya would always have a way to foil her plans and make her end up shooting herself in the foot. At last, she would have no choice but to suck it all up angrily.
It was a terrible feeling.
The more Ning Shuqian thought about it, the more indignant she felt. She then scurried towards the storeroom and rummaged through the items for the mobile phone. At last, she decided to call that man.
After dialing the number, Ning Shuqian began to break out into cold sweat and her breathing became irregular as well. She gripped onto the mobile tightly with quivering hands.
Soon, the call went through and a voice asked in a cold and threatening manner, “You’ve been very incompetent lately. You failed to complete the tasks I assigned you to. Yet, you didn’t accomplish a single thing. How dare you give me a call?”
Although the voice had been altered by software, it still sounded robotic and aloof.
Ning Shuqian quivered nervously and said, “I’m… I’m sorry. I’ve already done my best. It’s all that little bitch Wen Xinya’s fault. She managed to escape our schemes over and over again. Old Mr. Wen had been creating obstacles for us. That’s why the funds haven’t been released yet. However, Wen Haowen has already agreed to do his best to urge them to release the funds as soon as possible.”
Ning Shuqian would only call that man when it was absolutely necessary to do so. Due to the fact that he was way too terrifying, his voice alone was enough to make her feel daunted. However, she didn’t have a choice, for she wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences if she were to provoke him.
The man was clearly not satisfied with her answer. He said, “Do you know how many inconveniences you have caused for us because of your incompetence? We have to delay all of our plans and postpone the launch of the entertainment city. What’s the point of keeping you around if you can’t even get such a simple matter done?”
Mo Yunyao’s masterpieces had caught the attention of the media from all around the world, especially the Puerile Phoenix. The French Vogue Jewelry Association had already sent their professional staff members to communicate with the Wen Family, in hopes of getting the opportunity to curate the set of jewelry and showcase it in the French Vogue Museum together with The Spirit Of The Dragon, which was also designed by Mo Yunyao.
There would then be another uproar.
Due to the fact that there were already plenty of people paying attention to the Wen Corporation, the entertainment city project would definitely catch everyone’s attention too. There were lots of people who knew about the Korean-Chinese Alliance, especially those who were at the top of the social hierarchy. Hence, they had no choice but to slow down the progress of the entertainment city project because they could not take the risk. They might even have to stop the project.
The strange and cold tone of the man made Ning Shuqian feel a cold shiver down her spine. She frantically said, “I’m sorry. This was my mistake, but I’ve already found a way to salvage this. Wen Haowen is going to support the old man in promoting the heirloom sales strategy. By then, I’ll think of a way to shift everyone’s focus onto this project and speed up its progress.”
It was her last resort, and she was already making a compromise. Hence, she reckoned that Old Mr. Wen probably wouldn’t suggest that they launch Wen Xinya’s brand. As long as her brand didn’t get launched, there would be hope for them.
However, that man was not satisfied with the outcome. “You’ve got a good solution, but do you know that the Wen Corporation’s reputation will improve once the sales strategy is implemented successfully? That would be disadvantageous for us because they would continue to develop and expand. It would then be difficult for us to use the entertainment city project to control the Wen Corporation.”
The most terrifying threat for them was the jewelry design prodigy Wen Xinya, who would bring about endless opportunities for the Wen Corporation to develop. Hence, they would not stand to gain from the sales strategy.
Ning Shuqian had already thought about it long ago. She sneered. “I doubt it. The sales strategy may help to develop the Wen Corporation but… that’s only if Wen Xinya can continue producing good designs for them.
“However, Mo Yunyao is already dead. How long more can they exploit her designs? As for Wen Xinya, her existence is an obstacle for us and she’s a stumbling block. Is there a need to keep her alive?
“Losing their jewelry design prodigy would be a huge blow to the Wen Corporation, and that would be very beneficial for the entertainment city project. You should be well aware of how much it can do for us.
“Without Mo Yunyao and Wen Xinya, how successful can the sales strategy be? How long will their interest hold? Soon, they’ll no longer be influential once the Wen Corporation stops producing stunning designs.”
Wen Xinya was the key factor. Without Wen Xinya, the Wen Family would only be manipulated by them. That was the reason she called that man to persuade him not to give up on killing Wen Xinya.
In order to make herself sound more convincing, Ning Shuqian added, “We plotted the chandelier incident seamlessly, but Wen Xinya still managed to escape in the end. I’m guessing that someone has helped her.”
They were both well aware that the person who helped Wen Xinya was the boss of the Jiayuan Club. Although the man did fear him, he did not show any signs of fear in his voice. However, the boss was clearly a potential threat to them.
Ning Shuqian had obviously gotten his approval. The man nodded and said, “You do make sense.”
Wen Xinya posed a massive threat to their scheme. Just like Mo Yunyao, Wen Xinya must die!
