Chapter 41 Wen

Jiaxin When Wen Jiadong boarded the plane to England, Xu Meifeng, who lived with her two daughters in a villa in the suburbs of London, finally met her eldest daughter Wen Jiaxin who had returned from school.

Ever since she received the news that Wen Jiadong had lost his fertility, Xu Meifeng had been worried.

However, her youngest daughter Wen Jiayi was only 18 years old this year, a carefree age, so Xu Meifeng could not confide her inner worries to her.

After enduring for several days, when the eldest daughter Wen Jiaxin came back, he called her into the study after dinner and said anxiously: "Didn't we agree that only your father would know that Wen Jiadong is gay? Why did the news of his infertility spread?"

Xu Meifeng stood up while talking and paced back and forth in the study. After a long time, she said: "It's a mess, it's all messed up now. Your father asked Jiadong to come to the UK. He must be completely disappointed with him. He will definitely choose a new successor next. You haven't officially graduated yet, let alone entered the company to show your ability. What if..."

Xu Meifeng walked quickly to her daughter who was sitting on the sofa, bent down, stared into her eyes and said: "Jiaxin, why don't you go back now? Anyway, you have graduated, and you can write your thesis anywhere. If you go back to Hong Kong now, The more you show up in front of your father, the greater your chance of being chosen."

"Mom, why are you so anxious?" Wen Jiaxin didn't look anxious. She put down her teacup and said with a smile, "Daddy is a cautious person. He was so quick to decide on the eldest brother as the heir because he was the only adult son. Now that the eldest brother is dead, he has many choices among the remaining four daughters. He will definitely not decide on the heir so quickly."

"But Wen Jiaqi and Wen Yue are both in front of your dad. They will definitely try their best to please your dad. What if your dad softens his heart one day?"

"You have been with my dad for so many years, when have you ever seen him soften his heart?" Wen Jiaxin asked back, "Besides, Wen Jiaqi has big breasts and no brains, and her life is a mess. How can she be capable of running a large group like Lirong? As long as Dad is not deaf or blind, he will never hand over the company to her."

Xu Meifeng asked again: "What about Wen Yue? She is also the daughter born by the wife. I heard that she is very powerful now."

Hearing Wen Yue's name, a trace of darkness flashed across Wen Jiaxin's eyes: "Wen Yue is indeed unfathomable now, and we must be on guard, but she has a fatal flaw."

"What?"

"The husband she married is too powerful."

Xu Meifeng frowned. She came to London with her two daughters after Wen Jiaxin was admitted to university five years ago. She didn't go back much in the past five years, usually only when Wen Jiaxin and her sisters were on vacation.

She did go back when Wen Yue got married, but the scene was too busy, so she and Yi Huai didn't talk much and were not familiar with him.

Moreover, in the following years, according to the news reported by private detectives, Yi Huai and Wen Yue had been separated and their relationship was not very good. After seeing him a few times, she didn't pay much attention to this person.

Hearing what Wen Jiaxin said, Xu Meifeng thought: "I know he opened a company, but it shouldn't be that big, right? I remember he came from the mainland, and it seems that he didn't have much education. His relationship with you Wen Yue has always been bad, and it's not impossible for them to get divorced one day."

Wen Jiaxin knew that Xu Meifeng must not have read the data related to Yi Huai that the private detective had recently sent back, and said: "According to the latest statistics this year, the market value of Yisheng has exceeded 20 billion. Compared with our family, it may not be a big deal, but you have to know that Yi Huai is only 30 years old this year. At his age, Daddy's company The scale is not that big. In the business world, you need real skills to speak. It doesn't matter where you come from or whether you have been to school. As for the relationship between husband and wife..."

Wen Jiaxin chuckled and said, "As far as I know, my second sister moved back to the Yi family two months ago. Some time ago, the newspaper company under my second sister's name had an accident, and he rented an office to my second sister at a low price. During this period, the couple went in and out together, which made others jealous."

Xu Meifeng looked surprised. Obviously, she didn't expect that the two people who had been separated for several years would reconcile one day. At the same time, she was a little confused: "Isn't this a help to your second sister? How did it become a fatal flaw?"

"Why does daddy always value his son? Isn't it because he is afraid that the property left to his daughter will become someone else's family in the future? It's just like when daddy went to Pengji Trading Company to find food and met Pengji's eldest lady, and in the end the entire Peng family was named Wen."

Xu Meifeng frowned: "Your father is not a poor person, let alone marry into the Peng family."

Wen Jiaxin thought to herself, even if the process is different, the result is the same. What's more, most of the money her father originally opened the grocery store came from Peng Lifen. Later, he was able to have the funds to expand the scale of the business and open a department store with a new look. This was also due to Peng Lifen inheriting Pengji Trading Company.

However, a son will never dislike his mother's ugliness, and as a daughter, she couldn't say bad things about her father, not to mention that Wen Rongsheng made a fortune by using Pengji, and she herself was a beneficiary. Seeing that her mother didn't like to hear it, she shut up .

But within half a second, Wen Jiaxin spoke again: "Yi Huai is too much like Daddy in terms of background and ability. Mommy, tell me, when Daddy looks at him, does he think of himself?"

Of course he would.

Without waiting for Xu Meifeng to answer, Wen Jiaxin said, "Daddy will never want the Wen family to become the next Peng family. So the better the relationship between Wen Yue and Yi Huai, the more Daddy will dare not hand Lirong over to her."

Xu Meifeng asked, "But what if Wen Yue and Yi Huai divorce?"

"That's another matter."

Wen Jiaxin raised an eyebrow, stood up and walked to the window, looked up at the half moon hanging in the sky, and said after a long time, "Then let's talk about it after she gets divorced."

"By that time, will it be too late?" Xu Meifeng asked, "Don't you think the current development of things is very strange, and it is not going in the direction we want?"

In addition to the fact that Wen Jiadong is a homosexual and may lose his fertility, what they are holding in their hands is not only Wen Jiadong's life experience.

In their plan, when Wen Jiadong returns to China this time, they just need to let Peng Kaili catch him dating a man. Wen Rongsheng is conservative and will definitely not tolerate this. In order to stabilize her son's status, Chen Baoqin will most likely let Wen Jiadong get married and have children as soon as possible.

Xu Meifeng and her daughter are not sure whether Wen Jiadong can make a woman pregnant. Although they have used some means, they cannot completely guarantee the effect. However, even if a woman can get pregnant, the child will most likely not be born, so the result is the same.

During the period when Wen Jiadong is seeking a child, Wen Jiaxin will return to Hong Kong and join the company. When she is on her feet, the fact that Wen Jiadong is infertile can be exposed.

Then Wen Rongsheng might focus on the younger Wen Jialiang, but he is not a member of the Wen family at all, and the problem can be solved by simply exposing his background.

By then, the eldest daughter is a scumbag, and the second daughter is away from home. Wen Rongsheng can only decide the heir between her two daughters, and the most likely person to be chosen is Wen Jiaxin.

But since Wen Jialiang's background was exposed, everything has been messed up.

Xu Meifeng felt very uneasy.

Wen Jiaxin said calmly, "Mom, as long as it's a plan, it's impossible to ensure it's foolproof, and no one can avoid accidents, but we can't let accidents mess us up. Going back to Hong Kong now will give us more time to compete for Daddy's favor and seize the initiative, but it's also like telling Daddy that we have ambitions."

Wen Jiaxin walked behind Xu Meifeng, patted her shoulder gently and said, "You've been with Daddy for so many years, don't you know him? He used to think so highly of Brother, but what important position did he hold in the company? Daddy is 61 this year, not 71, let alone 81. He's not in urgent need of deciding on a successor, and he doesn't want to hand over the power in his hands easily."

"What we need now is not to show our edge, but to move forward according to the original plan. I believe that Daddy will see my goodness one day and rest assured to hand over Lirong to me. Please rest assured, okay?" "

Okay." Xu Meifeng was convinced by her daughter and asked with a sigh, "You still go as planned and hand in the thesis in September before returning to China?"

"Yes."

Wen Jiaxin said, "Be patient for a few more months, Mommy."

...

While the mother and daughter were having a secret conversation in the UK, Wen Yue was calculating the melon-eating value obtained from Wen Jiadong.

The amount was not much, just 670,000.

But she had a lot of melon-eating value left before, adding up to nearly 4.5 million. So after this melon-eating value was credited, Wen Yue exchanged it for 2,000 days of life value.

After the redemption, the remaining life value in her account was less than 1.6 million, but her remaining life span was almost 20 years, which was one step closer to a long life.

In the Wen Jiadong scandal, Dongjiang Newspaper did not benefit much, and it just followed other newspapers to drink soup.

But after the reporter team grew stronger, Dongjiang Newspaper no longer relied on the melons leaked by Wen Yue from time to time, and it also took a few small news during this period.

In addition, the afterglow of the Zheng family affair has not yet passed, so the sales of newspapers have been steadily increasing.

At the same time, Wen Yue also completed the acquisition of the printing factory. With the financial support of Yi Huai, this matter was done very quickly.

During the acquisition process, Wen Yue changed the name of the printing factory to Dongjiang Printing Factory, so that others can know who the boss is at a glance.

The newly acquired Dongjiang Printing Factory is doing well. Although there are some losses in the accounts due to the boss's gambling, the customers were not aware of the situation of the printing factory before the change of ownership, and the cooperative relationship was relatively stable

. After the change, some customers were concerned, but Wen Yue did not hide her identity. She directly revealed her identity as the daughter of the richest man to prove that she had strong funds and offered relatively generous cooperation conditions, so most customers chose to continue cooperation.

As for the lost customers, they can be fully compensated by Dongjiang Newspapers. Now the newspaper company has two newspapers, and the monthly sales are hundreds of thousands, and the printing volume is quite large.

Suppliers who did not want to continue cooperation because of the arrears of payment by the former boss quickly changed their minds after Wen Yue settled the payment for them.

For them, the printing factory is the Party A, so as long as the payment can be settled, it is a good Party A, not to mention that the printing factory has a new boss, so the grudges are written off.

In short, after the change of boss, there was not much change outside the printing factory. However

, a lot of people in the middle and senior management were replaced, because these people were basically the relatives of the former boss, who came in to take up the radish pit, did not do any real work, but received a lot of salary.

Of course, Wen Yue couldn't keep them for free, so she fired them all, then hired a few people from outside, let Zhuang Hui poach a few people, and promoted a few hardworking employees in the factory, completing the personnel reorganization.

Of course, those who were fired were dissatisfied, and they wanted to drag the ordinary employees to make trouble.

But when they were there, it was the grassroots employees who worked hard, and they were the ones who took the credit and got promoted. The grassroots had already complained. Once they left, the grassroots had the opportunity to rise, and of course they would not follow them to make trouble.

So the personnel reorganization process was relatively smooth.

As soon as Wen Yue sorted out the matters here, Wen Rongsheng recovered from the grief of having no grandchildren, picked himself up, and began to consider new heirs.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wen Rongsheng has four daughters, so there is a lot of room for choice.

But he doesn't think so. As for

the eldest daughter, Wen Jiaqi, needless to say, if she is allowed to inherit the family business, he doubts that the Lirong Group will last more than three years.

The second daughter studied Chinese, and has been living at home after graduation, and has never shown any management ability. In the past six months, she has made progress, and the newspaper company is managed well. I heard that she recently acquired a printing factory and got it on the right track.

However, being able to manage a small company with dozens of people may not be able to manage a large company with tens of thousands of people, so we need to wait and see.

The third daughter studied economics and obtained a master's degree from a prestigious university. Her grades have always been good. But she is not an isolated case of talking big on paper. Whether she can support the Lirong Group remains to be seen.

The youngest daughter is only eighteen years old this year. She is carefree and simple-minded. When she chooses a major in college, she is more inclined to art, so she can't be relied on.

After considering a circle of candidates, Wen Rongsheng called the third daughter first. When he learned that she planned to hand in her thesis in September and then come back, he didn't say much . He just wished her good academic performance and a speedy return home.

After the call ended, Wen Rongsheng called his second daughter.

When he dialed Wen Yue's number, Wen Rongsheng hesitated. During this time, he couldn't help but think of the conversation that day and the sarcastic look in her eyes when she said that he killed her second son.

That look made him a little afraid to face her.

Yes, he was afraid.

Wen Yue used to be sharp-tongued and never looked good when she saw him, but beneath the surface she hid her admiration for her father and her desire for his love.

But from some day on, the feelings hidden under her mask disappeared.

When facing him, she became more sharp and her words were more touching, but he couldn't get angry, but couldn't help feeling regretful.

Thinking of his daughter, Wen Rongsheng let out a long sigh, hesitated for a long time, and finally made the call.

But what was surprising was that when Wen Yue sat in front of him again, there was no sarcasm in her eyes from last time, and her expression was so calm as if the last conversation had never happened.

So it was Wen Rongsheng who was embarrassed. He coughed lightly and asked, "I heard that you recently acquired a printing factory."

"It's a small factory," Wen Yue said with narrowed eyes, "Daddy, you even know this?"

"I heard about it a few days ago," Wen Rongsheng quickly changed the subject to avoid Wen Yue finding fault, "How much did you spend to acquire that printing factory? Do you have enough money?"

Of course Wen Yue had enough money. Yi Huai gave her 10 million yuan, and her account number was also given out. There would be a dividend deposited in July.

She has never felt so wealthy.

But, it is unnecessary to show off her wealth to Wen Rongsheng. Wen Yue smiled and said, "Daddy, you ask this, are you going to support me a little?"

"We are father and daughter. If you want to start a business, of course I will support you." Wen Rongsheng took out his checkbook and wrote a check to Wen Yue. It

's a lot of money, five million.

But compared with Yi Huai, well, it's a bit stingy.

But Wen Yue didn't mind, and smiled and said, "Thank you, Daddy!"

People may just like to make mistakes and be mean. In the past, Wen Yue longed for fatherly love, but he never cared. Now she doesn't need these anymore. Wen Rongsheng actually thinks it's worth spending five million to buy her a smile.

But Wen Rongsheng asked Wen Yue to come over, not just to care about her and give her a check. After a few words, he said: "You can build a newspaper company, which shows that you are capable, but the newspaper company is too small and the competition in the print media is fierce. You work so hard but it's just a small thing and it's difficult to achieve scale. If you want to prove yourself, why not come home and help."

"Go home to help?"

Wen Yue was of course willing to go home to help. With the premise of Wen Jiadong being exiled, anyone could see that this was a test for Wen Rongsheng to re-select his successor.

She had never thought about fighting for the family property before. Well, it’s not that I regard money as dirt. It’s mainly because I didn’t care about these things.

And at that time, she didn’t know that Wen Jiadong would get into trouble. With Wen Rongsheng’s temper, he would never consider his daughter unless his son got into trouble.

Wen Yue is reluctant to admit that women are inferior to men, but in the eyes of parents who favor boys over girls, there is always a huge gap between sons and daughters.

Sons often don't have to do anything, and they will willingly present what they have to them. And no matter how hard the daughter works, no matter how good she is, all she can get is a sentence "She is not good enough".

Before crossing, Wen Yue felt painful about this throughout her adolescence. It would be fine

if her parents had never loved her, but before her younger brother was born, she was obviously the little baby of the family, the apple of the eye of her father, mother, grandfather and grandmother.

But everything changed when her younger brother was born.

Because she was loved, she could deeply feel the gap between the two kinds of love, and even more deeply understand the gap from being loved to not being loved.

When she was desperate, she even thought about using self-destruction in exchange for their regret. But she finally came to her senses, thinking that since they didn't love her, she shouldn't love them anymore.

After she came to her senses, Wen Yue suddenly felt enlightened.

Wen Rongsheng was actually the same person as her parents in her previous life. When they had a son, he couldn't see her, and she didn't want to beg for mercy like she used to.

So when she saw that he didn't want to give, she didn't plan to fight for it.

But now the situation is different. Wen Jiadong was exiled, and Wen Rongsheng had to turn his attention to his daughter.

Wen Yue certainly wouldn't refuse the opportunity when it came to her.

However, the four words "go home and help" are a bit broad. Going to the headquarters of Lirong as a boss means going home to help, going to a subsidiary as a leader means going home to help, and going to a branch as a minion means going home to help.

Wen Rongsheng was not stingy enough to let Wen Yue join the company as a minion, but he was not generous enough to let her join the head office as a boss.

He offered three positions to Wen Yue, namely the vice president of the department store in charge of the Hong Kong Island area, the assistant to the general manager of the real estate company, and the assistant to the president of the investment company.

It sounds like the vice president position is the highest, but in fact it is not. Assistants are divided into administrative and life-related positions. If you do well in the former, you will often be trained as a company manager. Moreover,

following the general manager and the president, you can come into contact with people and things from all walks of life, and it is easy to accumulate experience.

As for the vice president of the department store, it sounds like a high position, but please note that Wen Rongsheng is talking about the vice president in charge of the Hong Kong Island area.

Hong Kong is composed of three parts, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, of which the New Territories are divided into New Territories East and New Territories West. The regional division of Regent Department Store is basically based on this.

In other words, there are four vice presidents in charge of different regions within Regent Department Store. So compared with the general manager and the assistant to the president, the vice president of a department store seems a little worthless?

But it’s not that the position is low, after all, it’s a vice president, and even if they are both regional vice presidents, there are differences in status between those in charge of prosperous and dilapidated areas. Hong Kong Island is the most prosperous area in Hong Kong, and the status of the vice president must be not low.

After consideration, Wen Yue chose the vice president of a department store.

It’s a choice, but Wen Yue actually had no choice.

Being an assistant seems to expose you to more people and things, and it’s easy to accumulate experience, but the prerequisite is that the leader is willing to train you.

Wen Yue was arranged by Wen Rongsheng. In ancient times, she would at least be the crown princess. When you work with the company's senior management, you will most likely be flattered, but flattery does not mean true training. When

someone else gives you a task and doesn't let you do it, it is flattering you; when you mess up a task with your colleagues and they scold you instead of you, it is also flattering you; when you are arranged to stay in the company to enjoy the air conditioning in a place with difficult conditions, it is also flattering you.

But can you learn to show your ability in this way?

Wen Yue thinks it is difficult.

If she really encounters such a situation, she still cannot have any opinions on such special treatment. She is not willing to be treated well by you. Is there something wrong with her brain?

If she encounters a leader who is wary of her, it will be even more terrible. She will waste her precious time on intrigues with her boss, and

she doesn't know when she will be able to make a breakthrough. Instead of being manipulated by others, she might as well choose to go to a department store to be in charge of an area. She can tell whether it is a mule or a horse by taking a walk. It is so direct.

Wen Rongsheng was not surprised by Wen Yue's choice. He now felt that his daughter had a bad temper. With her temper, she really wouldn't be able to get bullied by others.

But being a vice president doesn't mean that she doesn't have to get bullied. There are many leaders above the vice president, including the president, general manager and vice president, and any of them can fire at the vice president.

The performance of the Li Rong Department Store in the Xiangjiang Island area has been declining for nearly half a month due to the closure of the business some time ago. It is unknown whether Wen Yue can stop the downward trend in the future.

However, Wen Rongsheng did not persuade Wen Yue to change companies and positions. In his opinion, if Wen Yue can't stop the downward trend of Li Rong Department Store's performance and can't handle the relationship with superiors and subordinates well, it proves that she is not suitable to be the successor.

If she wants to resign at that time, he should agree.

Wen Yue was not sure if she could fulfill Wen Rongsheng's request. After all, before she traveled through time, she positioned herself as a cow and horse rather than a capitalist.

At that time, she thought that if she could become a partner before the age of 40, she would be successful.

Although she has a company under her name after traveling through time, and now she has acquired a printing factory, the small unit has a simple staff, and both units have managers. As the big boss, she just needs to grasp the direction of development.

Shopping mall? She has never managed one.

But Wen Yue always felt that if she didn't do it, how would she know if she could do it?

Anyway, if she failed, she would only lose the inheritance rights of a billion-dollar company... Well, the price is a bit high, but before traveling through time, she had nothing and could only be a cow and a horse.

Thinking of this, she felt calm.

On the contrary, if she succeeded, she would have the opportunity to obtain the inheritance rights of a billion-dollar company.

This transaction is not a loss at all.

So three days later, Wen Yue took office and became Vice President Wen.
