Chapter 1107: A Hostile Conflict

Chapter 1107: A Hostile Conflict

Greatly taken aback, Wen Haowen subconsciously took a look at each and every shareholder present.

Old Mr. Wen was dressed in traditional Chinese attire and his hair was sleek and shiny. He also had an austere expression on his face as he sat up straight on the chair with both hands on his cane. He exuded a domineering and commanding aura.

Wen Haowen was caught off guard and his breathing began to quicken while he curled his spine involuntarily.

With disbelief in his eyes, he asked worriedly, “Father, what brings you here?”

It had been several years since Old Mr. Wen meddled with the management of the company and yet, he was alarmed by the entertainment city project funds. Wen Haowen was suddenly overwhelmed with an ominous feeling.

Old Mr. Wen barked. “There is no family in the world of business. You’d better address me as Chairman!”

Wen Haowen immediately fixed his eyes on Wen Xinya without making careful observations as soon as he entered the room. Old Mr. Wen was well aware of what he was thinking.

He had no idea that the shareholders were all mocking him for his ridiculousness.

The tension in the air intensified.

Feeling rather embarrassed, Wen Haowen exclaimed, “Chairman!”

The thought of Old Mr. Wen hearing all that he had said to Wen Xinya made Wen Haowen feel incredibly flustered.

Staring at him sternly, Old Mr. Wen chided. “I was the one who called the shareholders’ meeting today and asked Xinya to accompany me. You don’t have to reprimand her like this. Xinya has always been a sensible child.”

Appearing a little awkward, Wen Haowen eagerly tried to explain himself. “Father… Chairman, I was just careless, that’s why…”

Wen Xinya was sensible and the person going overboard was Wen Haowen. Wen Haowen immediately flew into a rage and his temples began throbbing while his hands quivered uncontrollably in exasperation. He clenched his fists tightly before releasing them again because he found it inappropriate…

Old Mr. Wen shifted his gaze onto Wen Haowen and interjected. “You’re the CEO and a major shareholder of the Wen Corporation. Not only did you not actively respond to the meeting, you even made everyone wait for you.”

Old Mr. Wen did not spare Wen Haowen any mercy at all and immediately berated him on the spot.

Wen Haowen was obviously disrespecting the occasion and the shareholders by teaching Wen Xinya a lesson in front of everyone before trying to explain himself.

Wen Haowen could not take the humiliation at all and his face grew sullen. However, he dared not express his anger. “I didn’t do that on purpose. I just…”

Old Mr. Wen barked. “What are you waiting for? Apologize to the shareholders.”

Wen Haowen was now a major shareholder because he had obtained the additional 5% of shares from Old Mrs. Wen and 3% from Ning Shuqian.

He was actually ten minutes late to the shareholders’ meeting.

What would the shareholders think about him? They would just think that Wen Haowen was being conceited and arrogant just because he was a major shareholder. Hence, they would definitely feel disrespected.

He didn’t even respect him as the chairman.

Hence, Old Mr. Wen decided to berate Wen Haowen in order to assert dominance.

At this moment, Wen Haowen snapped out of his trance and he could acutely sense that the shareholders were displeased with him. Hence, he frantically apologized to the shareholders. “Dear shareholders, I’m really sorry. I was stuck in traffic while on my way here. I’m sorry to have wasted your time and resulted in these inconveniences. Please forgive me.”

Wen Haowen lowered his pride and sounded as sincere and mellow as he could in a bid to seek the forgiveness of the shareholders. The shareholders already had a poor impression of him. Hence, he would be at a disadvantage if he were to offend the shareholders by being late.

Most of the shareholders were unwilling to accept his apology.

“You don’t have to apologize, CEO Wen. We don’t dare to accept it.”

“CEO Wen, we don’t dare to accept your apology.”

“You were only late for ten minutes. We’re not as busy as you are, CEO Wen.”

Wen Xinya smirked coldly, thinking to herself, Back then, Wen Haowen tried to plot against me and make me show up late to the shareholders’ meeting. Yet, he didn’t expect that this would happen to him too.

She stared at the pathetic Wen Haowen. The tables had turned.

“Dear shareholders, please don’t say that…” Wen Haowen murmured with a lopsided smile, trying his best to suppress his emotions.

However, he absolutely detested Wen Xinya and Old Mr. Wen deep down.

If it weren’t because of Old Mr. Wen who had put Wen Xinya on a pedestal and reprimanded him relentlessly, the shareholders wouldn’t have been so displeased with him.

Wen Haowen could not help but shift his gaze onto Wen Xinya.

Sensing that Wen Haowen was staring at her, Wen Xinya nodded and held his gaze.

Wen Haowen’s eyes were full of fury while Wen Xinya’s gaze was icy cold. They were destined to be in conflict.

Soon, the two of them looked away, as if there was no one beside them.

Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “Alright. Since we’re all present, the meeting shall begin now.”

If Wen Haowen were to continue delaying, it would be difficult for the meeting to begin.

Everyone immediately quietened down.

Wen Xinya could not help but be reminded of the previous board meeting where the shareholders also began to complain and kick up a fuss while Wen Haowen was at a loss for what to do. The situation today was juxtaposed against that.

Old Mr. Wen said slowly, “I was the one who called for the board meeting to be held, mainly because of the entertainment city funds.”

After hearing his words, Wen Haowen raised his brows confidently.

Although he had embarrassed himself just now, he managed to get on his feet again. He stared at Wen Xinya and thought to himself, Does she think she can terminate the entertainment city project just because she has the old man’s support? She can dream on. The entertainment city project is related to the interests of the shareholders. They wouldn’t give it up so easily.
