The cooperation between the Jiang family and Xiao Family was extremely eventful and resulted in the decline of the Wen Corporation stock prices. However, there was no news from the Wen Family ever since Wen Haowen made a scene at the Jiang Corporation office tower.
The Lanxin Cosmetics shopfront was about to officially open soon and Wen Xinya was as busy as a bee. However, she still made it a point to keep close tabs on the Ai Shang Group stock market. The Ai Shang Group stock prices had risen to more than 30 yuan, and the Xiao Family currently held 25% of the Ai Shang Group stocks.
Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan, who was driving, and asked,
How much Ai Shang Group stocks do you currently hold?

Si Yiyan answered,
10%!

Wen Xinya’s eyes widened in shock and she stared at him in huge disbelief.
Why do the tabloids say that you’ve acquired at least 15% of their shares, then?



Si Yiyan answered,
The stock market is elusive, to begin with.

Wen Xinya said,
The Xiao Family is extremely experienced and scheming. They probably won’t believe the rumors, will they?

Si Yiyan chuckled and said,
How are you so sure that the Xiao Family won’t believe it? Most of the Ai Shang Group’s shares are still in the hands of the major shareholders and there are still some loose stocks available on the market. How can the Xiao Family be sure if I’ve really acquired 15% of Ai Shang Group’s shares? It’s the suspense that’s the most frustrating. The Xiao Family is going to fall into my trap and never get out of it.

After hearing his words, Wen Xinya remarked,
You said that the Xiao Family is scheming, but I think you’re far more sly and cunning than they are.

Si Yiyan said calmly,
The fluctuations of the stock market have always been major and unpredictable. Although all of it is within my control, there are still certain unprecedented risks involved. I’m a businessman, the basic principle I should follow is to maximize profits and minimize risks!

Seemingly enlightened by his words, Wen Xinya asked,
How high do you think the Ai Shang Group stocks are going to rise?

Si Yiyan answered,
Now that I’ve intervened, the Xiao Family must hold more than 51% of the Ai Shang Group stocks before they can go ahead with the acquirement. They’ve currently already acquired 35% of the Ai Shang Group stocks, and there are still 65% on the market. The real battle begins now. If the procurement goes well, the Ai Shang Group stocks will rise to above a hundred yuan.

Wen Xinya took a deep breath and asked,
Do you have the confidence?

Si Yiyan answered,
Since Wen Haowen made a scene at the Jiang Corporation, it’s very likely that the Xiao Family is going to think that the Wen Family was behind it. We could really exploit that point.

Wen Xinya suddenly discovered how terrifyingly scheming Si Yiyan could be.
The Xiao Family is bent on acquiring Ai Shang Group and delving into the luxury goods market. Hence, we must let the Xiao Family think that the Wen Family is hindering them from proceeding. The Xiao Family will definitely battle the Wen Family all the way. After all, if the Xiao Family loses the upper hand, it’d be detrimental to their future expansion into the luxury goods market. We must strike the iron while it’s hot.



Si Yiyan nodded and said,
Stocks are all about mind games. The deciding factor lies in the details.

Wen Xinya whipped out her mobile phone to check the latest stock prices of Ai Shang Group, only to chance upon a thread that Wen Haowen had published onto the internet. She decided to open it. Wen Haowen had publicly castigated the Jiang family for being ingrates and biting the hand that fed them. He had even uploaded all the data of the cooperation between the Jiang family and the Wen Family. He had also berated the Jiang family for colluding with the Xiao Family to attack the Wen Family and haughtily challenged the two families.
Wen Xinya read the post out loud and said with a smirk,
I was afraid that Wen Haowen would collude with the Wen Corporation shareholders and accept the help from the Xia Family. Seems like Wen Haowen actually believed that Grandpa had a solution for dealing with the Xiao Family. Sometimes, dimwits can be useful, too. Someone has already done the job for us, and he’s done it well.

Si Yiyan burst into laughter and said,
Seems like the Xiao Family does believe that the Wen Family is the one who’s hindering them from acquiring Ai Shang Group.

Wen Xinya stared at Si Yiyan smilingly and said,
Ninth Young Master Xiasi, it’s your time to shine. I shall see if you can propel the Ai Shang Group’s stock prices to a hundred yuan.

Si Yiyan chuckled and asked,
If I manage to do that, how are you going to reward me?

Wen Xinya answered,
We’ll talk about it when you manage to do that.

Si Yiyan answered smilingly,
The acquirement of the Ai Shang Group has drained lots of your energy. Besides, the Lanxin cosmetics shopfront is about to open officially, too. Your exams are around the corner and you should be focusing on your academics. How has your revision been going?

Wen Xinya answered with a nod,
It’s alright. It’s not exactly arduous since I’ve already built a strong foundation. I’ve been doing well for all the mock tests lately. I should be fine for the year-end examination!

She did not mention that Zhong Rufeng had already given her a compilation of notes for the year-end examinations, which added to her confidence.


Si Yiyan said,
Leave the acquirement of Ai Shang Group to me and focus on your revision!

Wen Xinya smiled and said,
Don’t worry, I know what to do. I won’t let those issues affect my studies. Everyone in the circle knows that I led a wandering life before I reunited with the Wen Family, and they’re all waiting to see me fail now that I’ve entered school.

Seeing that she knew not to neglect her studies, Si Yiyan asked,
How has the preparation for the opening of Lanxin Cosmetics’ shopfront been?

Wen Xinya answered,
I don’t plan to hold any public events or do any advertising prior to the opening, so there’s nothing much to prepare. However, the products are yet to be ready for sale. There are some issues in the manufacturing line in the factory, though they’re not too major.

Si Yiyan said,
Lanxin Cosmetics has a good reputation. Hence, you indeed do not have to do any opening events or advertising. Not only will you be proving your confidence in your products, but you’ll also keep the consumers curious as well.

Wen Xinya smiled and said,
On the day of the opening, Aunt Zhou will be bringing her friends over to show some support. That’s far more useful than publicity events.

Si Yiyan chuckled.
No wonder you’re so confident.

Wen Xinya said,
There’s no need to fear if you’ve got what it takes. I have faith in Ruoruo’s formulas and confidence in Li Mengjie, Yan Shaoqing and the rest as well.
Si Yiyan nodded and remarked,
The people around you are indeed very capable. That Yan Shaoqing can take on major responsibilities.

Wen Xinya said,
Yan Shaoqing is decisive but not arrogant and stubborn. He makes his intentions clear and is very honest as well. I plan to let him manage Lanxin Cosmetics. He shall be in charge of the health supplements business when I go into that field in the future.



Si Yiyan had long guessed that her intentions were far beyond just opening a cosmetics store, and that she had set her sights on health supplements.
