Chapter 1822: Hand Over the Wen Corporation to Me

Wen Xinya’s eyes widened, as she never thought that Grandpa would make such a decision.

To take the initiative to call the police and cooperate with the police investigation would help them find out the truth, but it would also give the Li Corporation exactly what they wanted, which was the ability to bring the Wen Corporation down.

Although she knew that reporting it to the police now would be the best option, she still could not swallow the fact.

After a while more of being quiet, Wen Xinya spoke, “I don’t object to calling the police, as we can’t keep this under wraps for long anyway. However, Grandpa, you’re old already. You should allow me to go to the police station instead, and you can hold the situation here.”

Although Grandpa was still relatively healthy, he probably would not be able to withstand the pressure of going through being detained and investigated. No matter what, she would not agree to it. She must be the one to go to the police station.

Wen Xinya was unusually persistent and would not yield at all.

Old Mr Wen looked at her reassuringly and sighed slightly. “Silly child, do you think your family owns the police station? When Wen Haowen managed the Wen Corporation, you had close to no ties to our operations and management, and this could be said to be totally unrelated to you. The police will never allow you to replace me for detainment and investigation.”

His granddaughter had a bright future, why would he allow the Wen Corporation to ruin it all?

Even if this was related to Xinya in any way, he would also deal with it so that she was not implicated at all!

Also, if he really did that, then he would never be able to answer Mr. Mo, and even after a hundred years, he would not be able to answer Yunyao.

As Wen Zhihang, he could not afford to lose such face.

Wen Xinya knew that Grandpa was speaking the truth and looked at him hesitatingly. “Grandpa, I…”

She wanted to ask Si Yiyan for help, as it would probably not be a big deal.

Old Mr. Wen guessed her intentions and cut her off immediately. “This shall be it, you don’t need to try and persuade me anymore. I am such an old man already, I have seen many things in my life. There’s no reason why I would let my granddaughter take on this burden for me.”

Old Mr. Wen had been domineering for his whole life, the things he decided on could not be changed.

Naturally, this included Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya helplessly said, “Grandpa, this is a critical period, don’t be so stubborn. Wen Corporation needs you.”

Once the Wen Corporation was exposed for laundering money, its reputation and experience from their many years of operations would be ruined. She was not so arrogant. She felt, as a mere successor who had not been in the company for more than five years, she would be unable to stabilize the situation and hold the shareholders down.

Old Mr. Wen waved his hands and said with authority, “I’m an old man. Although I may be stiff, I still have keen eyes that can see that only you can maintain the Wen Corporation in the midst of all of this. You can allow the Wen Corporation to resurrect, so what’s the use of me, an old man, protecting an empty shell?”

Xinya was an internationally-renowned jewelry designer, and many liked her designs.

Also, she was accomplished in fashion design, and many people admired her for it as well.

This time, Xinya managed to take over the entire fashion design department to save them from their crisis, and she was forward-looking for the Wen Corporation’s future.

She had good foresight, planning, reputation and methods and also had a modern mindset. Only someone like that could tide the Wen Corporation through a crisis.

Wen Xinya was helpless. “Grandpa, you think too highly of me.”

Grandpa’s trust in her was actually a little scary.

She was confident in her own tricks and calculations, but Grandpa had many more years of experience in the business world. She was still a little immature.

Old Mr. Wen said, “Don’t be too scared and don’t stress yourself out unnecessarily. Just do your best and don’t let the Wen Corporation become a burden. Things are already at such a stage, I have already thought it through. I don’t want to control the Wen Corporation’s future, and I can see that you are not a materialistic person. So, no matter what, you will not care about owning the business.”

Then, he sighed.

He looked reassured, but also felt regret, pity, and also a form of release.

After he had carried the burden of the company for over half his life, he had finally put it down, and although he felt empty inside, he was happy that he still had Xinya and Jinyu.

Wen Xinya was speechless. She had many emotions in her heart at that point and did not really know how she felt.

She did not want Grandpa to enter the police station as she was afraid that his body would not be able to take it, but she had no way to stop him.

Old Mr. Wen had put everything down, however, and revealed a relaxed smile on his face. “Xinya, Grandpa is going to the police station to drink tea. I am going to leave this mess to you, please don’t be angry at me.”

Amidst the tense atmosphere, he could still crack a joke.

It would not be too easy at the police station this time around, but he believed it would not be too bad as well.

He was someone with a good reputation in the business world and had good networks in the city. Even if the Wen Corporation laundered money, before the matter was thoroughly investigated, the police would not make things too hard for him and would make sure he was well-fed and taken care of.

However, it was going to be tough on Xinya.

At such a young age, she had to be responsible for the whole Wen Corporation.

Wen Xinya held Grandpa’s hands and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry, just leave the Wen Corporation to me.”

No matter what, she would protect the Wen Corporation and never let Xia Ruya get what she wanted.

Old Mr. Wen smiled without saying anything else.

Although he hoped that Xinya could keep the Wen Corporation secured, he did not want to stress her out unnecessarily. He was clear that it would be really difficult to keep the corporation operating as per normal once the news of them laundering money was exposed.

Even if he was around, he could not guarantee it.

More so if it was Xinya.

Old Mr. Wen changed the topic. “Grandma will probably be extremely shocked to know that I will be going to the police station. You must take care of Jinyu and your grandma over this period. Although she’s not too expressive, she is dedicated to this family, and I know you are not narrow-minded. The bad things that she said before, I know you didn’t take them to heart.”

Although Grandma did not express herself well to Xinya, and sometimes said mean things to her for no particular reason.

However, she had never done anything to actually hurt Xinya.

Also, since Wen Haowen was chased out of the Wen Family and Jinyu came, she was no longer so harsh on Xinya.

Although Grandma was like that regardless of whether it was this life or in the past life, she really had not done anything to harm her. Hence, she would not care about it.
