Chapter 1902: Rebuilding the Reputation of the Wen Corporation

Xue Yishan was also feeling regretful. “A person’s heart is still very important. The Li Corporation made use of high salaries to lure Wen Corporation’s staff away—these are the people easily swayed by personal profits. How loyal can such people be? If they could desert Wen Corporation at the company’s time of need, they would also ditch Li Corporation without any qualms. The employees are of sub-par character and have zero cohesion. This is the true reason behind their demise.”

The operations of a company were the basis of its foundation, while labor resource was its supporting frame.

With an unstable foundation and the collapse of its supporting frame, it was only a matter of time before the company failed.

Wen Xinya had given this matter deep thought, and she did hold some regrets over how things turned out.

The Li Family’s century-long business had been destroyed in Xia Ruya’s hands.

Old Mr. Li had thought Xia Ruya was the Li Family’s hope and never expected her to single-handedly cause the demise of the family. She wondered what Old Mr. Li, who was in Harbor City now, must be thinking. Whether he regretted taking in Xia Ruya then.

Cao Zixing said, “Speaking of this, the human resources department reported that quite a number of former Wen Corporation staff, who left us for the Li Corporation then, have applied to rejoin our company.”

He was extremely disdainful of such people and their ways.

Previously, when the Wen Corporation was in crisis, the company had not owed anyone their salary, nor had they demoted anyone or docked their pay. Nevertheless, those people had been lured over to the Li Corporation by the promise of higher pay. They had ruthlessly ditched the Wen Corporation and jumped ship to the Li Corporation. Those former staff had behaved so heartlessly, and he never expected them to have the gall to ask to come back.

They were so thick-skinned that it made one’s hair stand on end just to think of it!

Wen Xinya smirked. “They are really treating the Wen Corporation like a hotel. They think they can come and go as they please? Since they chose to abandon the Wen Corporation then, our front doors will never open to them again. We have no need for such petty people who are only after personal gains.”

The Wen Corporation was not a homeless shelter or a charity organization. Those folks must be dreaming if they think they could just return to the Wen Corporation.

Once a person had shown disloyalty, she would never hire them again. This was her way of doing things.

Xue Yishan changed the topic. “This year, the Wen Corporation was dealt multiple blows by the Li Corporation, and the company’s internal operations are in a mess after suffering massive damage and major losses. Now that preparations for the new clothing and jewelry products are more or less complete, this is the perfect opportunity for the Wen Corporation to counterattack. I suggest holding a major press conference to promote these new products and rebuild the Wen Corporation’s reputation.”

It was heartening news to the Wen Corporation that they would be entering a partnership with Lanxin Company.

Due to the fact that the great Miss Wen was backing the Wen Corporation, everyone was now more willing to wait and see how good the Wen Corporation would prove to be.

Wen Xinya rubbed her brows, which were aching slightly. “I have no objections. I will let the two of you handle this matter.”

New products going on the market meant that the Wen Corporation would be going all out to regain their share of the luxury market. This was no small feat, and they could not afford to be careless. Xue Yishan’s suggestion was very apt.

Xue Yishan nodded.

Cao Zixing saw that she was somewhat tired and couldn’t help speaking up. “The revamp to the new management model has been completed and we are slowly getting back on track. You have been working too hard lately. Just leave the company’s matters to me and Xue. Don’t push yourself too much. You must take care of your health.”

They could see clearly how hard Wen Xinya had been working during this period. She had lost a lot of weight and looked more haggard.

Wen Xinya nodded. Wen Corporation’s situation had stabilized, while the Li Corporation was facing bankruptcy. She should indeed take a breather. These few days, she could clearly feel herself getting tired much more easily.

If Si Yiyan was around, he would definitely be very worried for her.

Wen Xinya’s face dimmed at the thought of Si Yiyan. It had been five days since he left for Russia. On the first two days, she would still occasionally receive messages from him, but thereafter, he did not contact her again. This made Wen Xinya feel very remorseful. She regretted her earlier stubbornness toward him, ignoring his messages.

Luckily, Gu Yuehan still had news about him.

She knew that their Russia plans against the Korean-Chinese Alliance had already been fully launched, and Si Yiyan was the top strategist in this operation.

Under those circumstances, he could not afford to be distracted by affairs of the heart.

Although Si Yiyan was beyond busy every day while in Russia, he was still well aware of all that was going on with Wen Xinya. This included her nausea and vomiting on the day he left Country Z.

He was very worried about Wen Xinya but could not step aside from the situation in Russia. Si Yiyan had no choice but to instruct Gu Yuehan to take good care of her,

He did not contact Wen Xinya these two days.

He was cooperating with Russia’s military and several aristocratic families. As the top strategist in this plan, his every move was being spied upon by the other two powers as they remained guarded against each other. At the same time, Si Siyan had also assigned his own men to conduct surveillance on the other two parties. Until this operation was completed, he could not afford to have any leak in his private affairs.

He had a female confidante whom he was very close to. Everyone in Russia’s upper-class society knew this. But to be safe, he was unwilling to express his high regard for Xinya under the scrutiny of these people. This was because any one of them could harbor ill intentions against Lucifer. It would not do them any good to expose too much about Xinya.

This was not Country Z. Even if Xinya wore the matriarchal token of Lucifer, no one would be able to recognize her.

This was Russia. The military and aristocratic families here shared some common goals with them but also kept each of the interests separate. The more people knew about Xinya, the more disadvantageous it was to him, and the more dangerous it was to her.

Lucifer might be powerful, but not so much that it could defend against the joint forces of Russia’s military and aristocratic families.

In order to deal with the Korean-Chinese Alliance, he had chosen to work with Russia’s military but also roped in several aristocratic families here. The three powers combined to form a balanced tripartite. No one dared to make any false moves. This was the safest situation for Lucifer.

Si Yiyan leaned against the sofa, unable to conceal his fatigue. After hearing Gu Yuehan complete his report on company matters, he asked, “How is Xinya?”

Gu Yuehan was not surprised. Every day after he reported about the company’s affairs, Ninth Young Master would always ask about sis-in-law. He already treated sis-in-law’s condition as part of his daily business report.

“I heard from Mrs. Tan that she doesn’t have much of an appetite these days, and she has also been looking rather down and overworked.” He hesitated before adding, “She does look like she has lost some weight.”

Actually, he didn’t really wish to say all this and cause a distraction to Ninth Young Master.

But he knew Ninth Young Master all too well. If he hid anything from him, the consequences when he returned would be unimaginable. No one in Lucifer was able to bear Ninth Young Master’s rage, including the bold Gu Yuexi, who dared to scheme against him.

Si Yiyan pursed his lips, obviously somewhat unhappy. He instructed blandly. “Take good care of her.”

It was not a reminder, but an order.

It was clear that Gu Yuehan would have to accomplish this order as if it was a mission.
