Chapter 1817: Old Madam Wen Creates a Scene at the Wen Corporation

Chapter 1830: Old Madam Wen Creates a Scene at the Wen Corporation

The Wen Corporation’s entertainment city project money laundering case had caused a great public uproar. Plagued by all those negative headlines, the Wen Corporation’s share price dropped drastically. Everyone in the company was utterly shaken and feeling very anxious.

The company’s reputation was in grave danger. Their market share of the clothing industry continued to shrink and was now only at about 15%. The skincare sector was also affected and stood for less than 20%. With the famous Wen Xinya at the helm of their jewelry department, sales in that category fared better, but even so, they only held about 30% of that market now.

Financial issues had already cropped up in the Wen Corporation.

The police were treating the Wen Corporation money laundering case with top priority. They had nearly completed their preliminary investigations and gathered the necessary evidence. The Administrative Bureau Of Business and Commerce’s investigations team made ready to leave the Wen Corporation.

“Thank you, everyone, for your hard work during this period.”

Wen Xinya was wearing a black vest over a pink lace, long-sleeved shirt with a Chinese collar, paired with slim-fit pants. She exuded an elegant beauty as she spoke cordially with the investigations team.

The Administrative Bureau Of Business and Commerce’s investigations team had been camped out at the Wen Corporation for the past five days and Wen Xinya had tried her best to accommodate their investigations. Both parties had established a certain level of mutual trust, which made the entire investigative process very smooth.

“Miss Wen is too kind. We want to thank you for cooperating fully with our investigation.”

During this period, with Wen Xinya’s help, the investigation had progressed more smoothly than they had expected.

Many companies who were accused of commercial crimes were secretive and obstructive toward investigation efforts. They even worried about company secrets being leaked out, and so guarded against the investigations team as if they were thieves. As a result, their investigations were usually full of obstacles and challenges.

But Wen Xinya was completely different. She had been very generous and professional, and the entire team felt very positive toward her. As a result, they had been more meticulous in their investigations.

Wen Xinya smiled. “The Administrative Bureau Of Business and Commerce is in charge of supervising our country’s commercial activities. It is our duty to cooperate with your investigation. I only hope that the truth can be quickly exposed, then my Grandpa can be released from police custody as soon as possible. He is already very old and his health is not as good as before. I am worried that he can’t take it physically if he is held by the police for too long. Also… I am sure you have noticed that the Wen Corporation needs him to oversee things.”

She had spoken very magnanimously.

But of course, she also had a hidden meaning behind her words.

The preliminary gathering of evidence had been more or less completed and the case should have progressed to a certain stage. She was wondering when Grandpa could be released from police custody, and so she was trying to probe the team for any information.

Seeing as to how cooperative the Wen Corporation had been, the investigations team was willing to share a bit of information. “Don’t worry, Miss Wen. From the evidence we have gathered so far, it looks like the Wen Corporation is not entangled too deeply in this money laundering case. There doesn’t seem to be sufficient evidence to implicate the company. Old Mr. Wen has been proactively cooperating with our investigations, so he shouldn’t be held for more than seven days.”

During this period, their investigations had shown that Wen Corporation’s involvement in the entertainment city project was not very deep.

In that case, Old Mr. Wen would no longer be a suspect and the police had no reason to detain him anymore.

Wen Xinya couldn’t help feeling relieved. Grandpa would probably be released within these two days then.

“Wen Xinya, you jinx…”

At this point, Old Madam Wen charged into the lobby of the Wen Corporation like a crazed woman. She noticed Xinya speaking happily with a bunch of people and instantly rushed over while spewing curses.

The security guards tailed after her dejectedly. They did not dare to obstruct her.

“Sorry, please excuse me.”

Wen Xinya apologized to the Administrative Bureau Of Business and Commerce investigations team before assigning Cao Zixing to see them off.

Wen Xinya strode toward Old Madam Wen. “Grandma, let’s head upstairs to talk this through. I just received news that Grandpa…”

Most people would not be able to handle Old Madam Wen when she decided to kick up a fuss. She was prepared to inform her of Grandpa’s imminent release, so as to appease the old lady.

Old Madam Wen interrupted angrily. “Wen Xinya, do you know that your father was just arrested by the police? You are a jinx. You caused your Grandpa to be detained by the police, and now even your father…”

Old Madam Wen was fuming mad.

Today, Haowen had gone to the Wen Family residence to ask her for some money. Several policemen had then arrived and arrested him without a word. They led him off in handcuffs as if he was a common criminal.

She was completely frazzled and had rushed over to the Wen Corporation to find Wen Xinya.

Wen Haowen was arrested?

Wen Xinya raised an eyebrow. She was not surprised. The entertainment city project had always been managed by Wen Haowen. The money laundering had also occurred when he was still in charge of that project. Wen Haowen’s guilt was undeniable.

“Grandma, it’s a long story. Let’s go back to my office first!”

Wen Xinya surveyed the lobby, which was full of staff, clients and reporters milling around. It was clearly not a suitable place to discuss this matter.

She was worried that Old Madam Wen might create a huge scene and make a fool of herself before everyone. It would be a major embarrassment to the Wen Family.

Old Madam Wen had already lost all common sense in her anxiety. She continued haranguing Wen Xinya. “Wen Xinya, did you do this? Why are both your Grandpa and father at the police station, but you alone are fine? Are you plotting to seize control of the Wen Family business, that is why you purposely framed them…”

Wen Haowen had often told her that he was in such a pitiful state now as Wen Xinya had framed him in order to take over the Wen Family business. That was why she always felt that Wen Xinya had nefarious motives toward the Wen Family.

Xia Ruya had been with the Wen Family for 12 years and she still turned out to be such a vicious character. Whereas Wen Xinya had not even been raised by the Wen Family.

Old Madam Wen’s voice was loud and strident, and a lot of bystanders were eavesdropping. Wen Xinya could even feel that some reporters were taking photographs.

Her face turned chilly. “I know you are blabbering nonsense as you are worried about Grandpa. But must you create such a scene and be an embarrassment to the Wen Family and to Grandpa?”

Family matters should be kept private. With all the current negative headlines plaguing the Wen Corporation now, Old Madam Wen’s tantrum would just make matters worse.

Old Madam Wen took a deep breath and suddenly realized that many people were staring at her. She instantly swallowed her words. She might be unreasonable, but she knew it was not good for her to kick up a fuss like that in public.

Wen Xinya continued calmly, “Father has always been the one in charge of the entertainment city project. You and father vigorously opposed when Grandpa and I tried our best to stop it. Now that Grandpa has been implicated by this project, you should be asking Father what is going on. I already received news that Grandpa should be released within two days’ time.”

Wen Xinya stopped talking at that.

Old Madam Wen was extremely obstinate and prejudiced. There was no need to explain any further.
