Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress (Part II)

Chapter 360: Thrown out of the Jiang Corporation Office Tower

As expected, news reports about the Jiang family acquiring Ai Shang Group surfaced on media platforms a few days later. There was also news about the severing of ties between the Jiang family and the Wen Family. Hence, there was a tremendous plunge in the Wen Corporation stocks.

Although the Xiao Family wanted to delve into the luxury brands market, they needed an appropriate reason to do so. Otherwise, the other businessmen and merchants in the circle would simply think that the Jiang family was breaking the unspoken rules and being unethical. Now that the Jiang family and Wen Family had fallen out, the Xiao Family could push the responsibility to the Jiang family by getting them to announce the acquirement of Ai Shang Group. What a brilliant move made by the Xiao Family!

At this moment, Wen Haowen finally realized that he had been backstabbed by the Jiang family. If the Jiang family had not already established a stable partnership with the Xiao Family beforehand, how could the Jiang family possibly be involved with the acquirement of the Ai Shang Group just days after the fallout?

No wonder the Jiang Family only brushed me off about the new partnership agreement when I swallowed my pride and apologized to them. Turns out they were planning to backstab the Wen Family.

Wen Haowen was exasperated beyond words the moment he realized that he had been tricked. On the verge of losing his rationality, he picked up his car keys and stormed off to his car, in a bid to drive to the Jiang Corporation office tower.

Upon arriving at the Jiang Corporation office tower, he barged straight in. However, the receptionist at the front desk did not stop him because she had recognized him and knew that he used to cooperate with the Jiang family.

Wen Haowen boarded the elevator and headed to the CEO's office on the tenth floor of the office tower. Upon sight of Wen Haowen, the secretary frantically stopped him. "Mr. Wen, I'm sorry but Mr. Jiang is out to see an important client. If your matter is urgent, why don't you wait in the guest holding room?"

"I must see your CEO Jiang right now," said Wen Haowen, who barged straight into the office.

The secretary had no choice but to stop him.

"Get lost!" Wen Haowen barked, pushing the secretary away.

The door of the CEO's office wasn't locked. Just as Wen Haowen was about to barge inside, he heard a derisive laughter and a voice saying condescendingly, "That dimwit Wen Haowen. He actually thought that I was interested in cooperating with the Wen Family. He swallowed his pride and showed up at my doorstep to apologize to me. He was just like a cowardly idiot. Little did he know that I had already signed an agreement with the Xiao Family. He was just tricked by me.

"Wen Haowen has major ambitions, but he lacks substance. He doesn't have what it takes to run Wen Corporation at all. If it weren't for Old Mr. Wen supporting him from behind, the Wen Corporation would long have been ruined in his hands.

"I only agreed to cooperate with the Wen Corporation because I knew that Wen Haowen was dense and could be easily manipulated. I thought I could use him to reap lots of benefits from the Wen Corporation. Yet, that old fogy turned out to be smarter than I thought and is still watching over the Wen Corporation closely. As a result, the Jiang Corporation could never delve into the core businesses of the Wen Family. After all these years, we didn't get to reap any benefits at all."

"Brother Jiang, simmer down. You may have failed to reap many benefits, but Wen Haowen has been treating you with so much respect all these years. It's as if he worships you, and he's always at your beck and call. That old fogy Wen has become a laughing stock in the circle because he has such a useless son."
