Chapter 58: Wen Jiaxin's New Job
It is easy to confirm that the original body was killed by Wen Jiaxin and Xu Tianyang in the original book, but it is not easy to take revenge.
Because the original body reached a deal with the system and chose to give up the body to live in another world, Wen Yue, who traveled through time, was randomly sent to April and inherited the life of the original body.
Wen Yue did not go to the UK in May, so the conspiracy between Wen Jiaxin and Xu Tianyang to murder people in the original book was also forgotten by Butterfly.
Although Xu Tianyang called Wen Yue before and wanted to trick her into going to the UK, it was indeed Wen Jiaxin who proposed it, and she had no good intentions. But she did not explicitly say that she wanted to harm Wen Yue, and only told Xu Tianyang that she was afraid that she would not be controlled and wanted to tighten the rope for her.
Therefore, this incident can only hit Wen Jiaxin and Xu Tianyang in public opinion, but cannot send them to prison.
No, it is hard to say in public opinion.
After all, in this love triangle, Wen Yue is the only married one.
Although it is the original body who fell into the love trap, outsiders will not think that they are two people. If Xu Tianyang and Wen Jiaxin's conspiracy to hang the original body is really exposed, it will be difficult for Wen Yue to escape.
This method is like hurting the enemy by hurting yourself.
So far, the only handle on Wen Jiaxin is that she and Xu Meifeng found someone to approach Wen Jiadong and gave him infertility drugs.
But according to the system, the male model must have given Wen Jiadong the infertility drug. Even if we take photos of him giving us the drug, it is difficult to prove that he gave us the infertility drug.
In addition, there are many drugs that can cause male infertility. Wen Jiaxin doesn’t know which one Xu Meifeng gave Wen Jiadong, and Wen Yue has no way of knowing.
It has been so long since the incident. Even if Wen Jiadong took the drug, it must have been metabolized by now. It is not easy to prove that he took the drug.
And even if he took the drug, it cannot be proved that it was the drug that caused him to lose his fertility.
Because most drugs only have a probability of causing a decrease in the number or quality of sperm, rather than taking a few pills to become infertile immediately. If it is really so effective and harmless to the body, why would men need to get a vaccination? Just a few pills and you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant for the rest of your life.
Therefore, it is difficult to convict Xu Meifeng from a legal perspective, but if the information is handed over to Wen Rongsheng, and he is told that it is the woman he welcomed back who made the old Wen family extinct, he will probably not let Xu Meifeng off easily.
After the second house knows about this, they will definitely fight to the death with the third house.
However, the evidence is insufficient!
Although the matter of giving Wen Jiadong the infertility drug was planned by Wen Jiaxin and Xu Meifeng's mother and daughter, they obviously considered the possibility of being exposed, so it was Xu Meifeng who did it, and Wen Jiaxin was not involved in the whole process.
In the case that the children of other houses in the Wen family are in trouble, even if Wen Rongsheng knows that it was Xu Meifeng who caused Wen Jiadong to be infertile and hates her, it is highly likely that he will not vent his anger on her two daughters.
As long as Wen Jiaxin and her sister were fine and inherited the family property smoothly, even if she was disliked for a while, it was acceptable to Xu Meifeng.
So the mother and daughter were very careful during the process. When they occasionally talked about the progress of the incident, they were also very careful not to mention words such as "Wen Jiadong" and "infertility".
The relevant conversations were basically one asking "how is it going", and the other answering "half of the progress", "it's over", "waiting for the effect", etc., which was very slippery.
This is also the main reason why the system did not prompt Wen Yue after she met Wen Jiaxin. The melons on her either haven't happened yet, or there is insufficient evidence that she did not participate in the implementation.
As for Xu Meifeng, who took action, Wen Yue had not seen her yet, so there was no evidence that she took action.
In other words, she can't kill either of the mother and daughter of the third room.
It is impossible for her to go to England to see Xu Meifeng just for evidence. The Third House has been operating there for many years. Even if she brings enough bodyguards and system plug-ins, it cannot be said to be absolutely safe.
Xu Meifeng is not expected to return to Hong Kong in the short term. In the past few years, except for Wen Yue’s marriage, she has never come back. Even during the Chinese New Year, she always stayed in England on the grounds that her two daughters were busy with their studies.
Thinking of this, Wen Yue asked: [By the way, do you know why Xu Meifeng went to England? ]
[To accompany her to study. ]
Wen Yue didn’t believe it and said: [It shouldn’t be this reason, right? 】
【Indeed, many people don't believe it, such as the second wife Chen Baoqin. She always felt that Xu Meifeng was forced to go to England by Zhou Baoyi, but she didn't find a good excuse. Even if Zhou Baoyi fell, she would be embarrassed to come back because Wen Jiayi was still studying. 】After a while, she added, 【Wen Jiaxin also said this to Xu Tianyang. 】
Wen Yue felt that this reason was even more ridiculous. Xu Meifeng had the nerve to harm Wen Jiadong, so would she be embarrassed to overturn her words a few years ago and return to Hong Kong? What's more, Wen Jiayi is already an adult and will go to college in the second half of the year. Does she still need her parents to accompany her to study?
Besides, if Xu Meifeng was not willing to go abroad, shouldn't she take advantage of the two daughters' vacation and take advantage of the opportunity to return to China and cultivate her relationship with Wen Rongsheng?
After all, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will fade away when they are far away, let alone a scumbag like Wen Rongsheng. How much feelings can he have for her after not seeing each other for a long time?
In Wen Yue's opinion, no matter whether Xu Meifeng was favored before she went abroad, Wen Rongsheng definitely didn't have much feelings for her now. This can be seen from the fact that Wen Rongsheng didn't fly to England in the past few months since she came here.
It would be fine if Xu Meifeng was really indifferent. After all, she gave birth to two daughters, and Wen Rongsheng would never treat her badly. But she clearly had wolfish ambitions and aimed at the inheritance rights. Wen Yue didn't believe that she didn't understand the principle that those who are close to the water get the moon first.
But thinking this way, Xu Meifeng might really be forced to live in England for a long time.
But it is hard to say who forced her to do so. It was definitely not Zhou Baoyi, as she had already left. It was also not Wen Rongsheng. He might not have many feelings left for Xu Meifeng, but he certainly did not want her to stay in Hong Kong.
And if it was Wen Rongsheng, the system would have given a prompt.
In other words, it was not everyone Wen Yue had met so far.
Wen Yue asked: [Does Wen Jiaxin really think that the Third Wife was forced to go to England?]
[It seems... not?] The system hesitated, [She thought it was because of other things, but Xu Meifeng refused to say, so she did not investigate further.] Sure
enough. Although
her guess was correct, Wen Yue was not happy in her heart, because it would be difficult to get Xu Meifeng back without figuring out the reason why she was forced to live in England.
Unless there is another happy event in the family.
Can Wen Jiaqi get married this year?
Forget it. Even if she doesn't come back this year, Xu Meifeng can't stay in England forever. She should come back after Wen Jiayi graduates from university, right?
Uh... university takes four years, which is a bit long. Instead of expecting Wen Jiayi to graduate and return to Hong Kong, it's better to expect her to become the heir as soon as possible, or force Wen Jiaxin to take action and send her to jail.
Wen Jiaxin is cautious and cunning. If someone wants to harm her, she probably won't do it herself. After all, she has a very useful knife in her hand, and it would be a waste if she doesn't use it.
So when will Wen Jiaxin's knife come back?
...
In order not to appear too eager, and not to let Wen Rongsheng misunderstand that she doesn't want to join the secretarial department, Wen Jiaxin rested for three days after returning, just in time to adjust to the time difference.
On the fourth day, early in the morning, after dinner, she proposed to go to the company with Wen Rongsheng.
Hong Kong's newspaper industry is prosperous. Unless the rich themselves do not want to expose the appearance of their children and are willing to spend money to buy paparazzi photos, the children of these rich people in Hong Kong have more or less appeared in the newspapers.
Wen Rongsheng was more careful in this regard because his eldest son was kidnapped and killed. Except for the older siblings of the second wife, the rest of the Wen family rarely appeared in the newspapers when they were young.
But after Wen Yue and others grew up, Wen Rongsheng no longer cared about these things, so before the accident, the two siblings of the second room had always been frequent guests in the newspapers, and Wen Yue has also been very popular in recent months.
Although Wen Jiaxin went abroad after attending college, she would return to Hong Kong several times a year to keep in touch with Wen Rongsheng and meet friends.
It was inevitable to be photographed when meeting friends, so she was also in the newspapers several times.
So when Wen Jiaxin went to work at the real estate company, Wen Rongsheng didn't think about telling her to keep a low profile, because this identity couldn't be hidden!
But not deliberately keeping a low profile is different from taking his car to work... Just looking at his daughter's smiling face, Wen Rongsheng hesitated for a moment and gave in, saying: "Don't make an exception next time!"
"Got it, Daddy!" Wen Jiaxin said happily, and stepped forward to hold Wen Rongsheng's hand.
Wen Jiaqi, who was still sitting in the restaurant, saw this and felt very unbalanced. She said a few words in a weird way: "It's not like they don't have a car at home, she's
the only one who can act well!" "She's not the only one who can act well," Chen Baoqin said, "I told you to change your temper a long time ago, but you didn't listen. Now you're fine, right? One of them got a job as president in a department store, and the other got a job as secretary in a real estate company, but you can't get into any company."
Although Chen Baoqin always persuaded herself to think more positively after her children got into trouble, as long as she kept Wen Rongsheng under control, she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
But after fighting for a lifetime, how could she think positively so easily?
Besides, Wen Jiaqi and Wen Jiadong were her children after ten months of pregnancy. As a result, one of them was infertile and had no hope of having offspring, and the other was divorced and now had no children. She didn’t know when she would be able to have a family again.
How could Chen Baoqin be happy when her own children were like this and the other two daughters were more successful than the other?
It would be fine if she didn’t talk about these things. Once she started talking about them, she couldn’t help but complain.
Wen Jiaqi thought, does she not want to change? She can’t change, okay? She also complained: "Who told you to make me like this."
Chen Baoqin was so angry that she fell backwards: "So it’s still my fault?"
"Of course!"
Chen Baoqin didn’t want to talk to her anymore, rolled her eyes and left the restaurant.
Wen Jiaxin didn't know about the dispute between the second wife's mother and daughter. She kept chatting with Wen Rongsheng with a smile on her face while sitting in the car, talking about the changes in the scenery along the road and what she had seen and heard in the past few years abroad.
A few days after returning home, she had thoroughly figured out how Wen Jiaqi and Wen Yue usually got along with Wen Rongsheng.
A few years have passed, and these two people have not made much progress.
Wen Jiaqi is still so stupid, and only knows how to make Wen Rongsheng angry. Some time ago, she was fooled by a scammer from Nanyang and was sued. Now the relationship between father and daughter is as cold as ice.
Wen Yue is still so stubborn, or aloof, and is not willing to bow to Wen Rongsheng. She has never said a few pleasant words in front of him.
Oh, except when asking for money.
But her daddy just loves this, and he has given her a lot of money during this period.
In fact, money is secondary. What Wen Jiaxin is worried about is Wen Rongsheng's attitude towards Wen Yue. Although they don't seem to be very close, they definitely value her, which makes people worry.
She is just starting out now, and her position is dispensable. It is probably not easy for her to grow up quickly and be on par with Wen Yue. She can only go the route of being a caring daughter and try her best to improve her status in Wen Rongsheng's heart.
Although Wen Rongsheng said that it would not be an exception, they work in the same office building and live together, so she will definitely have many opportunities to show off in front of him, and Wen Jiaxin is not in a hurry.
So when they arrived at the company parking lot, Wen Jiaxin did not follow Wen Rongsheng to take the high-rise elevator, but took the initiative to say: "I'll just take the ordinary employee elevator, Daddy, you go up quickly, bye."
Seeing that she was so sensible, Wen Rongsheng's expression softened a lot, and before entering the elevator, he said: "Do a good job."
"Okay, Daddy!"
Wen Rongsheng did tell the president of the real estate company to treat Wen Jiaxin as an ordinary employee. The president of the real estate company, Du Pengwei, has always followed his lead, so he naturally agreed and told him not to mention Wen Jiaxin's name when new employees joined the company.
But those who can work in the president's office are basically smart people. Not only do they know the family members of the president of the real estate company like the back of their hands, but they have also specially learned about the situation of the Wen family.
So when Wen Jiaxin walked into the office with this face, she was warmly welcomed.
The work arrangement was not marginal. On the first day, she was arranged to serve tea and water in the president's office. When the special assistant assigned her the work, he also asked her if she was okay with it.
Although Wen Jiaxin wanted to do a job that could be related to company affairs, she also knew that without special instructions from the higher-ups, even if the people in the president's office wanted to please her, they would not dare to give her important work easily.
As for the leaders above, her father could not count on them for the time being, but she could try to get Du Pengwei to arrange a formal job for her as soon as possible.
So Wen Jiaxin patiently followed her colleagues and made a cup of coffee that Du Pengwei often drank and brought it to the president's office.
As soon as he entered the office, Wen Jiaxin shouted with a smile: "Uncle Du, long time no see!"
Du Pengwei and Wen Rongsheng have known each other for more than 20 years and often visited the Wen family. It can be said that he watched several children of the Wen family grow up. He was not like Wen Rongsheng who liked to separate public and private affairs. He was not unhappy at all when he heard Wen Jiaxin shouting like this in the company. He smiled and said, "Jiaxin, how do you feel about work? Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"
"No, my colleagues are very considerate of me," Wen Jiaxin said with an embarrassed smile, "It's just that I just got here, and everyone may be worried that I have never done it before. There are not many things for me to do, so it's a bit boring."
"Is that so." Du Pengwei looked thoughtful, and asked after a moment, "Have you been an assistant before?"
"I did it when I was interning in the UK, but I was still a student at that time, and my boss rarely assigned me important work. I usually just made tea, copied documents, and occasionally helped to receive visitors."
If Wen Jiaxin was an ordinary employee, Du Pengwei would definitely let her continue to make tea, copy documents, and occasionally receive visitors. After all, she is familiar with these jobs and is not likely to make mistakes.
But as a leader, he still needs to get used to her. Before that, he will not assign her other tasks. After confirming that she is careful in her work, he will give her some less important things to practice.
But Wen Jiaxin is not an ordinary employee.
She is a member of the Wen family. Although Wen Rongsheng did not explain anything, everyone who knew she came to the real estate company knew that she, like the one in the department store, was also a strong contender for the successor of the Lirong Group.
She came to the real estate company not to make money, but to learn how to manage a large company.
This is also the main reason why Wen Jiaxin specifically pointed out that she can do these things. She is not saying "I can do all these, you can send me as you like", but telling Du Pengwei "I already know these, please arrange other more important work for me".
Du Pengwei understood and said: "Okay, you go back to the office first, I will arrange for you if there is anything."
"Thank you, Uncle Du!" Wen Jiaxin left the office with a smile on his face.
Du Pengwei's words were not perfunctory, he really wanted to find something for Wen Jiaxin to do, otherwise what would Wen Rongsheng do if he asked about it and knew that he had left her there? As soon as
the second lady went to the department store, Chen Jikang, who had worked for more than ten years, was removed, although he himself had problems and embezzled the company's money. But Du Pengwei knew that this was secondary. The main reason why Chen Jikang was removed was that he did not accept Wen Rongsheng's management and intended to invest in other shareholders.
Wen Rongsheng got rid of him not only to clip the wings of other shareholders, but also to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, telling the old people who followed him in the early years not to take advantage of their age in front of him.
Du Pengwei has always been very careful about the degree of getting along with Wen Rongsheng, and has no ulterior motives, but seeing the end of Chen Jikang, he felt that the lips and teeth are cold.
This time, Wen Rongsheng arranged Wen Jiaxin to the real estate company. He was very worried that he would be the next to be liquidated, so he had already thought about how to treat Wen Jiaxin.
Don't flatter her too much - this is Wen Rongsheng's request.
Nor can they suppress her too much - otherwise it would go against Wen Rongsheng's wishes.
Then to sum up, treat Wen Jiaxin normally, don't give her special treatment, but give her appropriate opportunities to grow.
So the next day, as soon as Wen Jiaxin arrived at the company, she was called to the office by Du Pengwei and given a task - to select the two most suitable charity funds from the list for donation.
Hong Kong people love to do charity, and the newspapers also like to report these things, so there are many charity funds in Hong Kong. And large companies also donate large sums of money every year to enhance their corporate image.
The Wen family has a charity fund, but it is not large, and they only donate money to their own funds, which inevitably makes people suspect that this is a left-handed out and right-handed in.
Therefore, in addition to regularly donating to the Wen family charity fund, the companies under the Lirong Group also donate to two or more social groups every year.
There has been no major disaster this year, and Lirong Real Estate has not donated a single sum of money so far. The final quarter is about to begin, so this matter must be put on the agenda.
After receiving the task, Wen Jiaxin quickly calculated in her mind the possible gains after completing the task.
It is not difficult to select a charity fund. It is estimated that Du Pengwei will not care too much about which one is finally chosen for donation. It is hard to say how much recognition she can get from him after completing the task.
But it is still good to practice with this matter. The difficulty is not high. As long as the selected charity fund is not in trouble, her task will not be considered a failure. After this matter is completed, Du Pengwei will definitely assign her other tasks. Within a month, she will definitely be able to get in touch with company affairs.
Compared with Wen Yue, it is a bit slow, but the department store is a special case and is not easy to replicate. What she needs is to steadily forge her own path, rather than being led by Wen Yue by the nose by imitating others.
As long as her ability can be recognized by Wen Rongsheng, Wen Yue is not a problem. Xu Tianyang can just find a way to get rid of her.
In addition, this is also a job that can make her look good. Many charity foundations will invite reporters to their events. Her participation will be good for her personal image.
Moreover, those who participate in charity are basically the wives of wealthy families, which is conducive to her expanding her network.
In short, although this job is simple, it has many benefits.
Wen Jiaxin agreed with a smile and quickly devoted herself to the selection work.
In the following week, she began to frequently go back and forth between various charitable foundations and participated in their activities. She visited the elderly in nursing homes, visited abandoned children in welfare homes, and went to schools and donated a sum of money in her personal name.
She also began to appear in newspapers frequently, and tabloids took pictures of her donations, saying that she was kind and kind.
Of course, the above are the thoughts of ordinary people. The sharp business veterans saw her news through the newspapers, and there was only one thought in their minds -
the battle for the inheritance of the Wen family was about to enter a white-hot stage.
I wonder what the first wife
of the Wen family will do next? Wen Yue, the first wife, did not make any moves. She has been traveling back and forth between the Hong Kong area and Yuen Long and the New Territories recently.
When she first visited the Regent Department Store in the Hong Kong area, she felt that there was no place to sit after shopping, and she also considered adding a children's entertainment area.
However, the Hong Kong area is the earliest developed area in Hong Kong and the area with the highest land prices. Even the larger stores in Central and Causeway Bay are not large enough to add seats.
Moreover, the stores of Regent Department Store in the Hong Kong area are relatively high-end, and the customers are mainly middle- and high-income white-collar workers. Adding a children's entertainment area is likely to make them dissatisfied.
The development of places such as Yuen Long in the New Territories has only been in the past few decades. Wen Rongsheng made his fortune early, and when he built Regent Department Stores in these places, the land prices were relatively cheap, so some of them were larger than those in Central and Causeway Bay.
In addition, the average income here is much lower, and the population density is not that high, so there are not many big brands in the business here. The customers are also mainly married women.
Unmarried young people are usually more competitive and are more willing to compete for development in Hong Kong or Kowloon with high incomes. Married men and women prefer stability and choose to live in places with lower incomes but lower housing prices.
Therefore, the shopping malls in these two places are more suitable for transformation into places for leisure and entertainment. Wen Yue selected a shopping mall in each place as a pilot to add benches and children's entertainment areas.
If the effect is good, it can continue to be promoted in places such as Sai Kung and Sha Tin.
If the promotion is effective, we can consider splitting Lirong Department Store into two brands. One brand will target middle- and high-income groups as a high-end department store;
the other brand will target families with children as a leisure and entertainment mall. If it develops well, we can also expand the scope to develop into a one-stop service for food, drink, entertainment and recreation.
But transformation is no easier than starting a business. This work cannot be completed in one or two years, and if the brand is to be split, there will definitely be a lot of resistance from the company. So Wen Yue did not mention this matter, but only said that she did this to improve performance.
Choosing a good location is just the beginning. In the future, she will have to make modifications and contact toy manufacturers. Although some things can be assigned to others, there are some things that she can only do by herself.
It was not until the matter came to an end that Wen Yue remembered Wen Jiaxin and asked the system what she was doing. Wen Yue
originally wanted to know why Wen Jiaxin hadn't come to her for trouble. Is it because Xu Tianyang hasn't returned to China yet? But the system obviously misunderstood her meaning and replied: [She is having lunch with Xu Tianen.]
Well, it is indeed lunch time, and Wen Yue is also having lunch.
As she chewed her food, she felt that the name of the man who was having dinner with Wen Jiaxin sounded familiar, so she asked: [What is the relationship between this Xu Tianen and Xu Tianyang? ]
[They are brothers, but Xu Tianen is the only son born to Xu Changrong's wife and the heir of the Xu family, while Xu Tianyang is an illegitimate child and is not included in the family tree. Legally, he has no relationship with Xu Changrong. ]
For wealthy families, being in the family tree is more important than having a legal relationship, because the former represents the recognition of the person in power, and as long as it is recognized by the person in power, regardless of whether there is a legal relationship or not, the inheritance may be inherited.
The rich have no shortage of lawyers, and unless they die suddenly, they usually make a will before they die.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is: [Why did Wen Jiaxin have dinner with Xu Tianen? Do they know each other? 】
【We didn't know each other before, but the Xu family has a Guangming Charity Foundation, which is very large. Now it is managed by Xu Tianen. Wen Jiaxin has been in charge of the donation work of Lirong Real Estate recently, so she needs to contact the heads of various charity funds, and then they got to know each other. 】
Wen Yue said, "Oh," and asked: 【Why are they having dinner together? Talking about work? 】
【No,】 There was uncontrollable excitement in the system voice, 【Xu Tianen wants to pursue Wen Jiaxin. 】
【Wow! 】
This is still a drama of brothers fighting for wives!
Wen Yue hurriedly asked: 【What about Wen Jiaxin? Didn't you say before that she wanted to find an incompetent heir to a wealthy family? 】
【That's Xu Tianen! 】The system explained, 【Although Xu Tianen is the head of Guangming Charity Foundation, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and all the work is done by his subordinates. He is pretending to be interested in Wen Jiaxin recently, but Wen Jiaxin knows what kind of person he is.】
Wen Yue rubbed her chin: 【So the current situation is that Xu Tianen and Wen Jiaxin are interested in each other, but Wen Jiaxin is still hanging on to Xu Tianen's illegitimate brother Xu Tianyang, who is also about to return to China.】
Speaking of this person, Wen Yue remembered: 【Didn't you say before that Xu Tianyang planned to come back a few days later? It's been half a month, why haven't you seen him yet?】
【It seems that he was delayed by something, but he called Wen Jiaxin and told her that he would join Guangming Charity Foundation after returning to China. Tomorrow night, their charity foundation will hold a charity sale to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and he will definitely participate. Although
the wealthy people in Hong Kong like to do charity and set up various charity funds, the Wen family also has a charity fund, but for the Wen family, the charity fund is just a facade. For the younger generation, joining the charity fund is equivalent to old-age care.
But the Xu family seems to be different. Their family started out as a charity, and it was not until the current person in power, Xu Changrong, took over the welfare home that they gradually got involved in real estate.
Therefore, although Xu's real estate allowed Xu Changrong to be on the rich list, he himself attaches great importance to charity. In Hong Kong, there may not be many people who know about Xu's real estate, but there are definitely many people who know about the Guangming Charity Foundation.
Maybe because of this, no matter whether the Xu family members have legitimate children or illegitimate children, the first stop for participating in family affairs is the charity fund?
Wen Yue was thinking about it, and heard the system say "Huh", [Is Xu Tianen also inviting Wen Jiaxin? She was a little confused, ah, she agreed! 】
[Agree? 】 Wen Yue was also surprised, [Isn't there a Shura field? 】
Then she remembered something, got up and went to the desk to look through, found an invitation letter and opened it, it was indeed sent by Guangming Charity Foundation.
Wen Yue had no interest in this kind of event and had not planned to go before, but now she changed her mind, this excitement must be joined!
