Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Novel - Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047: Country Bumpkin, Dimwit

Ever since the man hung up, Ning Shuqian was engulfed by pangs of panic and fear.

She knew that there was a huge conspiracy behind the entertainment city project which that man was planning to use to deal with the Wen Family.

Now, it was already too late for her to turn back.

She was well aware that that man was cruel and vicious even though she had never met him before. She was definitely no match for him.

She began to regret seeking help from him.

However, she thought about the predicament that she was in and decided to get rid of all feelings of regret. There was already no turning back for her now, and that was the only thing she could do, be it for herself or for Ning Yuya.

Gripping her mobile phone tightly, Ning Shuqian slowly got a grip on her emotions.

What she should do now was to manipulate Wen Haowen and push for the entertainment city project instead of letting her imagination run wild.

After calming herself down, Ning Shuqian thought about Wen Xinya as her lips curled into a cold smirk. She had meticulously devised a plan to convince the board of directors, and even Wen Xinya would not be able to change their decisions.

At this moment, someone began knocking on the door.

Ning Shuqian frantically rushed to open the door, only to be greeted with the sight of Secretary He.

Ning Shuqian opened the door to let him in. “Why have you come at this timing?”

Ning Shuqian spoke in a warm and coquettish voice which brought out the intimacy between them.

Of course, they were intimate with each other. As soon as Secretary He entered, he hugged Ning Shuqian and kissed her passionately, after which they fell onto the bed. “Did you miss me?”

Ning Shuqian nudged Secretary He on his chest and chastised. “Of course not. All you do is pin me onto the bed whenever you’re here.”

Secretary He began fondling Ning Shuqian’s body. After having undergone training, Ning Shuqian had the ability to control her body very well. She grew feeble and weak.

When the granny was teaching Ning Shuqian how to seduce men, Secretary He was the person whom Ning Shuqian demonstrated and practiced her techniques on. Hence, they knew each other’s bodies very well.

About more than forty minutes later, they finally stopped.

Although Ning Shuqian was still feeling a little randy, she was rather fatigued and hence, decided to take a break. “You’re here during work hours. Be careful not to let Wen Haowen catch you and rip you into shreds.”

Secretary He gibed with a sheepish grin. “That coward Wen Haowen is an actual dimwit. Even if someone tells him that I slept with his wife, all I have to do is make some explanations and he would believe me.”

Over the past few years, Wen Haowen had become more trusting towards him and would seek his opinion even though he might not always heed his advice.

Ning Shuqian giggled in a coquettish voice and jested. “You really do know him well.”

Although Wen Haowen was a paranoid person, he would never keep his guard up against those who had earned his trust. He was also easily manipulated, which was the reason why she could win his heart and control him again.

Secretary He gently smacked her hips and said, “Who… do you think is better in bed? Me or Wen Haowen?”

Ning Shuqian nudged his chest and exclaimed, “Is there still a need for me to answer!?!”

However, Ning Shuqian thought to herself that Secretary He truly could not hold a candle to Wen Haowen, though he did have better technique than the latter. Unlike Wen Haowen, who often jumped right into it, Secretary He was good at foreplay which most women loved.

Secretary He guffawed smugly.

Ning Shuqian finally thought about the board meeting and frantically asked, “How did the board meeting go today? Has the setting up of the new department been settled? Can the entertainment city be developed as soon as possible?”

Since that man had ordered her to manipulate Wen Haowen into building the entertainment city, she obviously had to pay more attention to it.

A sullen expression formed on Secretary He’s face. “That bitch Wen Xinya actually suggested that they set up a sister company which will handle the development of the entertainment city independently. The funds will be closely monitored by the Wen Corporation. She has completely ruined our plans.”

Once the independent sister company was set up, Wen Haowen would no longer be able to directly push for the project to be completed. He would no longer be in an advantageous position either, regardless of the fact that he held 20% of the Wen Corporation’s shares. In the past, all of the sister companies would have to act according to the rules and system set by the Wen Corporation. Hence, the idea would greatly hamper the progress of the development and reduce the feasibility.

Most importantly, they would become fully independent once the sister company was built and it would be difficult for them to use the entertainment city against the Wen Family.

Their meticulous plan was foiled by the shrewd and despicable Wen Xinya. They could not take it lying down at all.

Ning Shuqian asked in astonishment, “How did that happen? Didn’t we already make all the plans beforehand? Why did a blunder happen?”

She had kept her guard up when she found out previously that Wen Xinya would be joining the board meeting. She had an ominous hunch that something bad would happen. In the end, it turned out to be true.

Secretary He explained everything to Ning Shuqian again.

After hearing what happened, Ning Shuqian turned pale and said angrily, “I knew it. It’s not that easy to deal with that bitch Wen Xinya. She definitely wouldn’t sit back and do nothing. She actually managed to foil our plans.”

Secretary He said softly, “We were planning to use those scheming and arrogant shareholders to deal with Wen Xinya. Yet, she used their interests to attack us openly.”

Secretary He was filled with anger. He had tampered with the VIP elevators beforehand, but Wen Xinya was smart enough to take the normal elevator instead. She also managed to see through the employee whom he ordered to stall her.

Ning Shuqian said uneasily, “They want us to actively push for the entertainment city project but our plans have failed now that Wen Xinya intervened. How are we supposed to answer to them?”

The thought of the man’s relentlessness sent a cold shiver down Ning Shuqian’s spine.

Secretary He said with a frown, “None of us expected this to happen. Wen Xinya is the one to blame for being so cunning. I communicated with that person and he seems to have other plans in mind. Let’s just wait for further news for now.”

He had no idea what to do now that things had come to this.

With an awful expression, Ning Shuqian berated. “Wretched lass.”

She was obviously referring to Wen Xinya.
