Chapter 117: Unwilling to accept

The transfer of equity was not that fast, but the position and equity were not completely linked. With the support of Wen Rongsheng, the appointment letter came the next day, and Wen Yue officially took office.

After taking office, the work was naturally not smooth sailing. Although she had made achievements in Lirong Department Store, Lirong Department Store was not only a subsidiary, but also the least valued of the three subsidiaries under Lirong.

When Wen Yue was the president of Lirong Department Store, the company's shareholders basically recognized her achievements. Although they did not care much about Lirong Department Store, they directly or indirectly held shares of Lirong Department Store. The better the development trend of Lirong Department Store, the more dividends they could get every year.

In the absence of conflicts of interest, they are willing to acknowledge Wen Yue's ability.

But now that Wen Yue has taken over the headquarters as the acting chairman, everyone has different ideas. It's okay for shareholders who don't have a strong desire for power and just want to sit back and collect dividends.

They don't really care who manages the company, they only care whether the person who manages the company can make Lirong prosper.

Although Wen Yue seems a little young and has little work experience in their eyes, and may not be able to manage the head office well even if she can manage the subsidiaries well, they are willing to support her temporarily for Wen Yue's past performance.

What if they don't support her?

Wen Rongsheng has been staying in the hospital for longer and longer. When he attended the event, they thought that maybe his illness was not serious and he would be discharged in a few days.

As a result, after the event, he returned to the hospital. News came one after another, and each piece of news was more outrageous than the last. Some said he was poisoned, and some said he was poisoned by his children.

But these outrageous news were all true.

As these news came out one after another, Wen Rongsheng's discharge from the hospital gradually became more and more distant. Many people in the company have been restless recently. If he doesn't arrange for someone to come in, it's hard to say what the company will become when he is discharged from the hospital.

Oh, the premise is that he has the opportunity to be discharged from the hospital.

In short, they can understand why Wen Rongsheng arranged for Wen Yue to join the company.

Wen Yue is better than the second and third wives of the Wen family. Their abilities are not outstanding, but their hearts are more vicious than each other, and they can even kill their own fathers.

They think this way not because they think Wen Yue has nothing to do with these things, but because she is at least capable and may be able to manage the company well, allowing them to continue to get dividends without doing anything. Even if

she is not capable, it doesn't matter. Since Wen Rong fell ill, many shareholders of the company have been eyeing the position of chairman.

Wen Rongsheng can easily arrange Wen Yue to come in based on his past experience, but this is not enough to make all shareholders obey Wen Yue. If she is not capable, she will be overthrown by those who are eyeing her covetously sooner or later.

But those power-hungry people don't think so. They don't even obey Wen Rongsheng who is sick, so how can they obey Wen Yue, a little girl?

What? You say she is capable and manages Lirong Department Store very well?

How can a subsidiary and a head office be confused?

What's the size of Lirong Department Store? What is the size of Lirong Group? Can it be compared?

If Wen Rongsheng didn't have a lot of shares and had a strong style in the past, they would not agree to let Wen Yue be the acting chairman. But even if they agreed, they couldn't just accept it. They had to show Wen Yue a warning!

So at the high-level meeting held to welcome Wen Yue, someone made trouble.

The person who made trouble was Zhu Chong. In front of everyone, he questioned Wen Yue why she thought she could sit firmly in the position of chairman. What else did she have besides having a good father?

This was not bad to hear, at least there was no dirty word, but it was very provocative when said at this time.

Moreover, when he said this, he looked Wen Yue up and down with his slanted eyes, his eyes were full of contempt, and also contained some vague hints when a man judges a woman, which was very disgusting.

Looking at people with such eyes in such an occasion, it is obvious that he is not only attracted by her beauty, but more likely to provoke Wen Yue, and it is also a test.

This is a meeting held to welcome her. All shareholders and senior executives of the company are there. In such an occasion, if she gets angry because of a look that is suspected of sexual harassment, but cannot provide solid evidence, it will definitely give people a bad impression. But if she says nothing and just endures it, people will think she is easy to bully.

And her character can also be seen from the choice she made. If she chooses the former but does not handle it well, she is impulsive and irritable, and if she chooses the latter, she will swallow her anger.

Those who want to bring her down will adjust their strategies according to her personality, and Zhu Chong is the one they send out to take the lead.

Wen Yue smiled coldly, looked Zhu Chong in the eye and said, "When it comes to reincarnation skills, I am indeed better than you, so I can understand your envy and hatred of me."

Zhu Chong was naturally not very smart as he was instigated to stand up and take the lead. His face changed instantly: "What do you mean?" "

Literally."

Wen Yue's expression was cold, and her tone could be said to be understated, but the more she said this, the more Zhu Chong felt that he had been humiliated. "You just have a good father, otherwise, with your personal ability, can you sit here and have a meeting with us? But people should know their own limitations. Without ability, even if your father sends you to this position, you won't be able to sit still!"

When Zhu Chong was expressing his passion, Wen Yue just turned her head and whispered a few words to the secretary who was temporarily arranged by the President's Office to be next to her.

After she finished her explanation, Zhu Chong's passionate output also ended. Wen Yue turned her head and looked at him again: "Indeed, at my age, it is not easy to sit in the same conference room with everyone for a meeting. So you say I have a good father, I admit it, and I am very fortunate. If it weren't for him, how could I sit in this position and see your ugly appearance of being angry and embarrassed when you hate me but can't get rid of me?"

Zhu Chong was enraged. He jumped up and slammed the table and shouted: "Wen Yue!"

Wen Yue's expression did not change, but her posture was slightly adjusted, from sitting upright on the chair to Zhu Chong's usual posture. Chong leaned back in his chair, raised his head slightly and looked at him, and said in a light tone: "You said that people should know themselves, and I agree with this, so I did a lot of preparation before joining the company. Unfortunately, I found out a lot of things about you."

Zhu Chong's eyes flashed with some hesitation, and he looked at someone at the conference table. Seeing the other person's soothing look, he instantly became more confident and sneered: "I, Zhu Chong, am upright and not afraid of your investigation!"

As soon as Zhu Chong finished speaking, Wen Yue's assistant walked in with a brown paper file bag.

Wen Yue stood up and took the document, untying the rope while saying: "Since President Zhu said so, it seems unreasonable for me not to send the information to everyone."

Looking at the brown paper bag in her hand, Zhu Chong felt a little worried. Although he spoke righteously, he had done many things that harmed the interests of the company over the years.

So he looked at someone at the conference table again.

The man was a little hesitant, but then he thought about it. Wen Yue had only been working at Lirong headquarters for a few days. Even if she was a successful person, she had made special preparations before joining the company and investigated several people. She must have started with the major shareholders and important senior executives.

Zhu Chong did not have many shares. Although he held a position in the subsidiary, his level was not high and it was not an important position.

Unless Wen Yue knew in advance that Zhu Chong would find fault with her at today's meeting, it would be impossible to get evidence of his infringement on the company's interests in a short time.

Thinking of this, the man nodded to Zhu Chong imperceptibly.

When Zhu Chong saw this, he was relieved. He stopped hesitating and sneered, saying, "Let's see what evidence you can come up with!"

Wen Yue didn't feel anything when she heard this, but the system was furious. What does it mean? Are you questioning its ability?

The system said angrily: [Host! Quick! Throw the evidence in his face! ]

Well, although Wen Yue doesn't have the ability to predict the future, she has the system's golden finger.

Although there are many people who are involved in the shareholders and senior management of Lirong headquarters and other subsidiaries, so that after Wen Yue walked into this conference room, the system prompts rang several times in a row, causing Wen Yue to almost ignore Zhu Chong, a small shrimp, but who made Zhu Chong jump out to find trouble? As soon as

he showed up, Wen Yue would not be able to keep an eye on him.

When Zhu Chong finished his first sentence, Wen Yue asked the system about Zhu Chong's situation, focusing on whether he had violated the interests of the company. If not, it was okay if he had problems with his private life.

The system gave a positive answer. This person not only embezzled public funds, but also used his position to harass female employees.

Wen Yue did not hesitate to buy relevant evidence from the system and let it put it on her desk when no one was around, creating the illusion that she had prepared it.

Hearing the system's urging, Wen Yue said: [Don't worry. 】

While speaking, Wen Yue took out a stack of information from a paper bag and distributed it to the people sitting on both sides

, saying: "These are the information about Zhu Chong's misappropriation and embezzlement of public funds in recent years, as well as evidence of bribery. There is information about the flow of funds in his account. Everyone can take a look." Then she took out a few photos and distributed them, saying: "These photos are taken of Zhu Chong's harassing text messages to female employees. Everyone can circulate them."

As the information was distributed, Zhu Chong's forehead began to sweat and his eyes frequently looked at someone.

Wen Yue saw it in her eyes, but she didn't point it out.

The road must be taken step by step, and people must be dealt with one by one. It is not good for her to rush to send all those who oppose her to prison before she has a stable position.

He had to slow down. If he got rid of Zhu Chong today, the killing of the chicken to scare the monkey would be almost over.

The person targeted by Zhu Chong did not look at him, intending to read the information before deciding what to do. But when he got the information and read less than half of it, he knew that Zhu Chong could not be saved.

Not only could he not save him, he had to try his best to cut ties with him.

Fortunately, he always thought that this person was stupid and was not close to him. It was not until Wen Rong fell ill that he started to contact Zhu Chong when he thought that he might arrange for his children to join the company to prepare for succession.

He did not know Zhu Chong well, and Zhu Chong was the same with him. In other words, the other party did not have any handle on him, and he could not turn against him even if he was abandoned.

The only thing he had to worry about was how to give up Zhu Chong without chilling other people.

He quickly thought of a way, gave Zhu Chong another soothing look, and acted like he had everything under control.

Zhu Chong was successfully deceived, and he did not give out the person who instructed him until he was taken away by the police. It was not until the end of the trial that he realized that he did not seem to have received any help from that person.

But it was too late. He had no handle on the other party, and it would be in vain to scold him in prison no matter how fiercely.

Of course, this is a story for later.

...

Wen Yue's entry into Lirong was decided in a hurry, so only the senior shareholders knew about it on the day Wen Yue joined the company.

However, who will take over after Wen Rongsheng fell ill has always been a hot topic in the Hong Kong media recently, so there have been people guarding the downstairs of the headquarters of Lirong for a long time. As soon as Wen Yue appeared downstairs of the company, the news spread quickly.

Lirong Group did not hide this matter. The publicity department quickly revealed the news that Wen Yue took over Lirong as the acting chairman.

In fact, there is no unanimous opinion within the company on this matter.

Some people think that announcing Wen Yue's entry into Lirong is tantamount to a disguised admission that Wen Rongsheng's illness is difficult to recover.

As the founder of the company and the person who has been in charge of Lirong for more than 40 years, Wen Rongsheng has always been a stabilizing force in the company's stock price.

Originally, because of his confusing illness, the company's stock price has been ups and downs, and the overall trend is downward. After this news is announced, won't the stock price plummet?

Some people also think that these century-old families in Hong Kong have experienced generational changes before. Although most families have a long transition period, the fact that they can make a smooth transition shows that the founder does not have such a big impact on the stock price.

The stock price of Li Rong has been fluctuating, in large part because he has been seriously ill and hospitalized until now, and has not yet decided on a successor. In addition, the few people who went to the hospital to show their courtesy are not only incompetent, but also have rumors of patricide. Shareholders cannot see the future of Li Rong, and it would be strange if the stock price does not fall.

But if a successor can be decided at this time, and the successor is not the Wen family members who are entangled in negative news, but Wen Yue who has made achievements in the subsidiary, maybe after the news is exposed, it can give shareholders a reassurance and make the stock price rise again.

Moreover, Wen Yue has already joined the company and is in such an important position. As a listed company, Lirong cannot keep such personnel changes secret.

They can't keep it secret either. Can they control their own mouths and the ordinary employees below from telling others?

Rather than delaying it until then, letting the outside world think that there is something wrong with Wen Yue's position as acting chairman, causing the company to continue to be turbulent, it is better to announce the news now to see if the stock price can be stabilized.

In the end, this question was thrown to Wen Yue. Anyway, she is the person involved and acting chairman. Whether to announce or conceal the news, it is most appropriate for her to make the decision.

If the situation is stabilized in the end, those who support her will naturally be happy. If the situation is not stabilized, those who oppose her will also be happy, so both parties quickly reached a consensus and decided to listen to her.

Wen Yue chose to announce the news.

That night, all evening papers published by various newspapers and news programs on various television stations, whether comprehensive economic news or entertainment news, reported this incident without prior agreement.

...

"Mom! Mommy! Come quickly!"

After dinner that night, Chen Baoqin had a quarrel with the captain of the bodyguard team who was in charge of guarding Wen Jiadong. She wanted him to release Wen Jiadong, but he insisted on waiting for Wen Rongsheng to notify him and refused to agree.

Not achieving her goal, Chen Baoqin cried and went to the door of Wen Jiadong's room to comfort him, but she only got a complaint and couldn't help crying.

Just as she was crying sadly, she heard Wen Jiaqi's shouting, wiped her tears, went to open the door, and asked, "What happened?"

"Wen Yue joined Lirong! Her position is acting chairman!" Wen Jiaqi yelled, "Doesn't she disdain the family property? She didn't even want to visit Dad more often when he was in the hospital? Why did she suddenly join the company?"

As early as when she received the news that Wen Jiaxin was also kicked out of the hospital by Wen Rongsheng, Chen Baoqin felt that it was not good.

If Wen Rongsheng and Wen Yue were still competing, he would definitely not kick all three of them out of the hospital, and he would definitely leave someone by their side to continue to observe.

He kicked Wen Jiaqi and Wen Jiaxin out of the hospital. There was only one possibility, he did not intend to consider handing over the Wen family to one of them.

Wen Jiadong was still locked in the room, and Wen Jiayi still hadn't been approved to return to Hong Kong. It was obvious who Wen Rongsheng favored.

Although Chen Baoqin hadn't been able to go upstairs to see Wen Rongsheng in those days, she learned from the nurse that Wen Yue hadn't appeared since she left, so she always had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

But now think about it, which of the father and daughter is easy to get along with? How could she easily ask for important information?

Those nurses were probably bribed to give her false information.

"I saw in the news that Daddy transferred half of the shares to Wen Yue. Has he decided to let her inherit the Wen family? What will he do with the remaining half of the shares? Do I still have a chance?"

After asking, Wen Jiaqi remembered, "Daddy doesn't even let me go to the hospital now. What chance do I have? Mommy, please say something. What should I do now?"

Chen Baoqin was getting annoyed when she heard Wen Jiaqi chattering, "How do I know what you should do? I told you to be smart and please your daddy before. When did you listen to me? It's come to this point. What's the use of trying to get something for the time being?"

Wen Jiaqi exploded instantly, "What do you mean I don't listen to you ? ? When did I not listen to you? It was because I listened to you too much that I reconciled with Wen Jiadong and was used by him to poison my father! I have nothing now, and it’s all Wen Jiadong’s fault! "When Wen Jiadong

was mentioned, the resentment that Wen Jiaqi had finally calmed down "surged" up, turned around and walked out of Chen Baoqin's room, ran all the way to the door of Wen Jiadong's room, slapped and hit the door, and shouted and cursed at the top of his voice: "Wen Jiadong, get out of here! You ungrateful bastard, how could I have such a vicious brother like you..."

Wen Jiadong was not locked up for a long time, but he became visibly manic, and he would explode at the slightest thing these two days. Chen Baoqin was afraid that he would be upset, so she didn't dare to provoke him.

Chen Baoqin, who had followed over, saw Wen Jiaqi banging on the door and cursing, and hurried forward to pull her back: "Jiaqi, your brother is already so miserable, just let him go."

It would have been fine if Chen Baoqin hadn't tried to persuade her, but after trying to persuade her, Wen Jiaqi became even more furious: "He's miserable? Am I not miserable? What did I do wrong to be used by him like this? It's his fault that Daddy doesn't want to see me! If Daddy dies and doesn't give me my shares, I'll never forgive him!"

...

Not only Wen Jiaqi was shocked by the news that night, but also Wen Jiaxin, who lived alone.

Although she said she lived alone, in fact, it was not only Wen Jiaxin who lived in this house, but also bodyguards and servants. But Wen Jiaxin paid great attention to her image, and was used to pretending to be herself even in front of the servants, and never yelled.

So although Wen Jiaxin saw the news in the living room, she started to vent after entering the study. Before leaving the living room, she even told the servants to go to bed early and not to enter the study no matter what they heard.

After entering the study and locking the door, Wen Jiaxin's expression began to twist. Then she walked to the desk and swept everything on the desk to the ground.

After a series of crackling sounds, Wen Jiaxin put her hands on the desk, bent her waist, hunched her back, and let out a suppressed scream, which then slowly turned into crying.

Along with the crying, her body gradually softened and she sat down on the chair in a very decadent manner.

She really didn't understand what was so good about Wen Yue?

Why did Wen Rongsheng insist on her, even though she was disobedient and had been indifferent to him since he was hospitalized, he still rushed to hand over Lirong to her?

She didn't understand why Wen Rongsheng just refused to believe her.

It was like this when he drugged Wen Jiadong, and it was also the case when Wen Jiadong poisoned him. There was obviously no definite evidence, but every time someone said that it was related to her, he believed it without hesitation, and didn't even want to listen to her explanation.

Thinking of how much she had done, but every time, when she felt that she was about to get to that position, she got disappointment, and Wen Jiaxin felt deeply unwilling.

Why!

Why every time when she no longer had expectations, there was always a turnaround, but when she worked hard and thought that she was about to get what she wanted, she always found herself back to square one?

Why can Wen Yue always get everything so easily, while no matter how hard she tries, it is always in vain?

Wen Jiaxin spread her palms and covered her face, letting the tears flow out from her fingers. Her crying gradually changed from sobbing to screaming. Ah ah ah ah -

she was unwilling!

She couldn't accept it!

After crying for an unknown period of time, Wen Jiaxin finally stopped crying. She did not cover her face with her hands anymore, but stood up and walked to the French window, looking up at the dark night sky outside.

Against the backdrop of the night, Wen Jiaxin's pupils washed by tears became exceptionally bright, and her expression gradually became firm. After a long time, she uttered a name, as if she had made some kind of decision

. Wen Jiaxin did make an important decision.

Before, she thought that Wen Yue was really not interested in the huge Wen family property. At the same time, considering that Wen Yue had many bodyguards around her and it was difficult to deal with her, she ignored her and dealt with Wen Jiadong. Who would have thought that she would make wedding dresses for others after all her efforts.

Doesn't Wen Rongsheng value Wen Yue so much that he would rather let her take over than give her a chance?

Then she would get rid of Wen Yue and let his plan fail.

In the past, she didn't dare to touch Wen Yue because she was too concerned, but this time, the experience of being summoned and being released by the police helplessly made Wen Jiaxin understand a new truth.

As long as the plan is thorough enough and the police don't find evidence, even if everyone suspects that she has done something, she can still get away with it.

Anyway, she doesn't have much to lose now, so she might as well fight to the death and give it another try.

But this matter has to be handled slowly. The police have not completely dispelled their suspicion of her. Taking action now is tantamount to walking into a trap. She has to remain patient and wait for the right time.

However, before Wen Jiaxin had the chance, she received the news that Wen Rongsheng had chosen to call the police.

After Wen Rongsheng called the police, Wen Jiaxin, who served the poisoned sugar water to Wen Rongsheng, and Wen Jiadong, who was basically confirmed to be the murderer after checking fingerprints, were arrested immediately.

Not long after the second brother and sister were arrested, Wen Jiaxin was summoned by the police again.

With the first experience, Wen Jiaxin had no worries when she left with the police this time. She believed that as long as she was patient enough, she would definitely be released again.
