Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Novel - Chapter 1803

Chapter 1803: Grandpa Was Indeed Right About You

Wen Corporation’s quality control crisis totally shook Old Mr. Wen awake.

The supply chains controlled by the Wen Family were the key to their survival. Those who were in touch with them were all people that he trusted and also held Wen Corporation’s shares—they would rise and fall in tandem with the Wen Corporation.

Wen Corporation had always been very strict with its quality control, which was also rather huge in scale. From the importation of raw materials to the exportation of completed clothing, there were at least three important quality inspection processes and at least five spot checks. With quality control issues in such a huge batch of materials and goods, countless departments were involved—it was definitely not just the responsibility of Wen Haowen alone.

Thus, the only possibility was that there were spies within the Wen Corporation, who had infiltrated the corporation when Wen Haowen was in power.

Wen Xinya was secretly investigating on the spies.

Old Mr. Wen was also secretly investigating as well. He didn’t hand this matter to his granddaughter the least bit and instead handed it to another female secretary with the surname Yang. It wasn’t because he didn’t trust his granddaughter, but because Wen Corporation was already blowing in the wind currently and she already needed to attend to numerous issues. If he were to also hand such an important matter to her, she might not be able to handle it.

However, it was a serious matter and he also kept a low profile about it.

Besides Secretary Yang and himself, he didn’t tell anyone else.

He felt that people who were not involved didn’t need to know.

“Grandpa, I may have to take up some of your time.”

The office door swung open and Wen Xinya walked in. She was wearing a blouse with pink lace trimming and a fitting light-gray Chanel corporate suit paired with a long pencil skirt—brilliant and capable, yet fashionable at the same time.

Old Mr. Wen’s eyes were filled with admiration and approval as he gently closed the file on his table and said with a warm expression, “Tell me anything you need to!”

Xinya’s capability was witnessed by everyone.

With the exposure of Gu Yihan taking drugs, Wen Corporation’s fashion design department had instantly gone into turmoil and a few designers had been poached shortly after. In that critical moment, Xinya was entrusted with the fashion design department and, within a short span of time, managed to restore things to order and brought the department back on track.

Wen Xinya sat down on the swivel chair before the office table and handed him a set of documents. “This is the latest design draft by the fashion design department. The main design came from a designer named Bai Ling. I feel that her designs are very spiritual and can be compared to Li Corporation’s fashion designs in the recent two seasons.”

Bai Ling’s designs were completed after the final amendments and fully met her requirements before she had the confidence to show them to Grandpa.

A smile broke out on Old Mr. Wen’s face. “Unexpectedly, after taking over the fashion design department, you can actually come up with new fashion design drafts so quickly. Grandpa was indeed right about you.”

Wen Corporation’s fashion design department had always been led by Gu Yihan single-handedly.

After Gu Yihan was arrested for taking drugs, amidst Wen Corporation’s crisis, it was already an uphill task to pick a person who could take up the role of the main designer, and an even more arduous task to come up with good designs.

Previously, he had already been mentally prepared to temporarily give up the entire fashion market and let Li Corporation be glorious for a while.

Unexpectedly, Xinya could actually even complete such a difficult task.

In this case, Wen Corporation had the chance to compete with Li Corporation in the fashion design market.

Praised, Wen Xinya felt slightly shy. “It’s Teacher Gu’s credit for making due preparations and gathering a few outstandingly talented new designers for the Wen Corporation. Previously, under Teacher Gu’s halo, their talents weren’t outstanding, and under a bunch of senior designers’ pressure, they’ve been silent. With the corporation facing a crisis this time, they also started to shine.”

Wen Xinya spoke the truth.

There were at least four new designers in the fashion design department who performed remarkably in this round of designing. Besides Bai Ling who was picked and groomed by her, there were also two designers who were rather outstanding both in terms of their character and talent, and she also taught them generously.

With the mention of Gu Yihan, Old Mr. Wen’s expression was slightly awful. “Gu Yihan’s drug-taking situation isn’t serious. Although they suspected her of drug possession, the police have already verified that she didn’t have any traces of distributing drugs. Logically, after a sufficient fine, with the administrative processes, she’ll be out in twenty-odd days. However, seeing that Gu Yihan has already been detained for more than a month and the police don’t intend to let her off, I’m worried someone is stirring things up secretly.”

Wen Corporation was also quite reputable in Capital city and the police also needed to take that into consideration. However, Gu Yiyan’s detainment was plagued with oddity.

Old Mr. Wen even suspected that the Korean-Chinese Alliance played a part in it.

Mentioning this, a smile broke out on Wen Xinya’s face. “Grampy, I got Yan to help and have already gotten reliable information that Teacher Gu will be released tomorrow.”

This was currently the happiest news to the Wen Corporation.

Old Mr. Wen’s face instantly brightened up. “That’s great. You’re close to Gu Yihan, talk to her more when she’s out and help her out more so that she can pull through this crisis.”

He suddenly felt that the Ninth Si that he had never liked suddenly became not that detestable anymore.

Wen Xinya nodded. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I know what to do.”

During the time when Gu Yihan was detained, she had visited her a few times and she seemed rather calm, so she wasn’t too worried.

Old Mr. Wen suddenly reacted. “Look, I’ve been talking to you and forgot about official matters.”

Saying that he browsed the designs that she had brought over.

Wen Xinya said plainly, “Wen Corporation’s fashion line previously occupied 75% of the Chinese fashion market. Based on the latest market data, Li Corporation currently only holds about 50% of the fashion market. Up till now, there’s still 25% of the market that they haven’t been able to conquer. If we can push out new fashion products as soon as possible, if there are no surprises, this 25% will be in our bag.”

Although they had lost 50% of the market share, they had thankfully salvaged a third of their business. In the future, there would be other opportunities to seek.

Old Mr. Wen agreed. The designs brought over by his granddaughter surprised him. “The designed products this time are quite outstanding and completely doesn’t pale in comparison to Gu Yihan’s standard as a world-renowned fashion designer.” Then, he laughed out loud uncontrollably, ridding him of the bad mood these days. “Very good. We, Wen Corporation, are still not at the end of our breath—it’s Li Corporation’s fat hope to want to crush us.”

Old Mr. Wen was truly happy. As long as they could salvage their market share in the fashion market, he was confident that they definitely wouldn’t lose the battle with the Li Corporation.
