Chapter 843 - Dealing with the Xiao Family

People often say that century-old affluent families would have wealth enough to last them three generations.

The four major families, the Wen Family, Gu Family, Xiao Family, and Jiang Family all had long histories, with the Wen Family being ranked the second richest, followed by the Xiao Family and lastly, the Jiang Family.

The Xiao Family had actually managed to rise because of the acquirement of a local household electronics business which helped them to become a pioneer in the household appliance industry. Due to the fact that Old Mr. Wen had retired early and allowed the incompetent Wen Haowen to take over, the Wen Family reached a plateau and their progress remained stagnant for years, thus allowing the Xiao Family to surpass them in the end.

Secretary Cao stood beside her and explained to her the current management situation of the Wen Corporation, as well as the projects that they were handling.

Secretary Cao explained, “Ever since Old Mr. Wen retired and your father, Wen Haowen took over, he has never made any impressive achievements, and Old Mr. Wen realized that too. He knew that it was impossible for the Wen Corporation to progress and the only thing he could do was to safeguard it. Hence, Old Mr. Wen secretly transferred his funds and assets elsewhere, partly to save the family business and also to save for a rainy day.”

Feeling a sense of enlightenment, Wen Xinya felt like her grandfather truly had great foresight and planning. “I didn’t expect Grandpa to have such great foresight. He has long made all the necessary arrangements. Given how incompetent, conceited and complacent Father is, it’d probably be difficult for him to keep the family business.”

Wen Xinya nodded and smiled.

Appearing a little stern, Secretary Cao said, “Missy, Yang Ziyu has secretly left the hospital and gone missing. Since there is no evidence to prove that the Xiao Family was behind it, we might end up getting framed by them and there would be adverse effects on the product launch.”

In the world of business, no one could be entirely confident. However… 50% confidence was enough to make her take the gamble.

Secretary Cao’s eyes constricted. By rights, he was supposed to stop her from taking such a risky move since Old Mr. Wen had tasked him to guide her along. However, he felt a little excited to see her execute her plan, for some reason. “Missy, do you have a detailed strategy?”

Secretary Cao said, “As long as you have a concrete plan, it won’t be impossible to carry it out! What matters most is the execution.”
