Chapter 1030: The Unusual Situation of the Wen Corporation
Wen Xinya found it rather strange that Celestial Detective Agency had yet to find out who the woman behind Wen Haowen was. Having worked with Celestial Detective Agency for several years, she had faith in their competency. Yet, they were faced with difficulties this time. She was afraid that it was not simply because of Wen Haowen’s conscientiousness.
She found out from Celestial Detective Agency that Secretary He would tag along throughout all the times that Wen Haowen had gone out. She was reminded of the occasion when she met Secretary He for the first time. Back then, she had a bad impression of him and felt that he was not a decent person.
The thing that she felt the strangest about, was that there was no such person in Wen Haowen’s life in her previous lifetime. Hence, she began to keep her guard up, though she forgot about it after observing Secretary He for a period of time and not finding anything suspicious about him.
Could Secretary He have something to do with Wen Haowen’s mysterious whereabouts?
Wen Xinya instructed Celestial Detective Agency to check up on Secretary He, but no constructive information was found.
There was nothing too suspicious about Secretary He, and the only thing she could do now was to hire someone to tail and keep an eye on him. She reckoned that he would definitely let the cat out of the bag after some time.

Uncle Cao, has there been any unusual occurrences in the Wen Corporation lately?
Wen Xinya asked. She had arranged to meet Secretary Cao in a teahouse that served thick and fragrant tea. She particularly liked the pleasant vibe.
Secretary Cao answered,
Ever since the shareholders approved of the entertainment city project, Wen Haowen has been making major changes to the Wen Corporation. He even began holding frequent meetings with the financial department. I’m guessing that Wen Haowen is going to kick off the project soon.


Secretary Cao found him to be utterly ridiculous. Enterprises and corporations would usually spend at least one to two years planning and observing the plot of land before starting such a major project. Yet, Wen Haowen began preparing for it without knowing too much about the details. He felt that Wen Haowen was acting too hastily.
Wen Xinya frowned, for Wen Haowen had taken action way earlier than she had expected.
He’s so impatient. There will definitely be many financial issues.


Unless the Wen Corporation put a halt to their current businesses and channeled all their resources to the construction of the entertainment city, it would be impossible for the project to continue due to the lack of funds. Wen Haowen’s impatience was the reason for the lack of financial planning.
What was he trying to do?
Secretary Cao continued,
Wen Haowen has suggested that we set up another department in the Wen Corporation that will focus solely on the entertainment city. He has also decided to hire new staff members for the department instead of reassigning the current employees to the new department.

After hearing her words, Wen Xinya asked with a sullen expression,
Is he out of his mind? There definitely needs to be another department, but why is he thinking of hiring new employees?

Wen Xinya could not help but feel a cold chill down her spine.
Did Wen Haowen come up with this idea himself or did that person suggest it?

Regardless of the reason, the hiring of new employees would be disadvantageous to the entire Wen Corporation.
Since Wen Haowen was in charge of the entertainment city, the employees of the new department would be under his control and follow all of his orders. When that happened, the project would be successful and solely managed by Wen Haowen.
Most importantly, the person behind Wen Haowen definitely harbored designs on the Wen Corporation and she definitely wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to manipulate Wen Haowen and plan her snitches in the Wen Corporation. Or perhaps… she had already secretly planted her people. The consequences would be dire.
Wen Haowen had already begun getting rid of the potential problems before the project had even kicked off. Could Wen Haowen have possibly come up with such an idea all by himself?
Secretary Cao said,
Wen Haowen has used the excuse of it being difficult to transfer the employees due to the lack of manpower, to support his decision of setting up a new department. Besides, most of the employees are busy with the skincare, jewelry and apparel businesses which cannot be neglected.

Wen Xinya said calmly,
That’s reasonable. What do the shareholders think?

A large amount of funds was needed to kickstart the project and every action of his would be closely monitored by the shareholders. Besides, the employment of new employees was not something that Wen Haowen alone could decide. He definitely had to seek approval from the shareholders.
Secretary Cao answered,
The shareholders have already approved of his suggestions. However, there’s no official proposal yet and they’re still discussing it. I have a feeling that Wen Haowen came prepared, so it’s only a matter of time before the shareholders approve of his suggestion.

He discovered that Wen Haowen had been rather careful with each and every move he made. It was as if it was all premeditated. He could not help but feel uneasy.
Wen Xinya took a deep breath and asked,
When will the official proposal be given to the shareholders?

Secretary Cao answered,
Wen Haowen is going to hold a board meeting in three days.

Wen Xinya asked in surprise,
So soon?

The setup of a new department was not a major matter, but it also required some time and planning. Besides, it also had something to do with the entertainment city and hence, it was understandable for her to be shocked by Wen Haowen’s speed.
Secretary Cao nodded and asked,
Missy, would you like to speak to the shareholders whom you’re closer to and get them to watch over the situation?

Once the new department was established, no one would be able to intervene.
Wen Xinya shook her head and said,
No, I’ll be joining the board meeting as one of Wen Corporation’s shareholders. However, do keep this a secret for now.

Wen Haowen was careful with every move he made during the planning of the entertainment city, making her feel a little intimidated. It had also raised her vigilance.
She was certain that Wen Haowen could not come up with such a scheming plan.
In other words, she was dealing with an unknown person whose abilities she was unaware of. Of course, she could deduce that the mysterious person knew the Wen Family inside out and she had already lost the upper hand right from the start.
Shocked to see the change in Wen Xinya’s attitude, Secretary Cao said,
Alright, I know what to do, Missy.

Wen Xinya nodded.
After Secretary Cao left, Wen Xinya sat in front of the coffee table and spaced out.
