At this moment, Old Mr. Wen was thrilled to know that the Xiao Corporation had failed in acquiring Ai Shang Group. In high spirits, he took out his precious Biluochun green tea leaves which he had been keeping for years and enjoyed it with Wen Xinya.

Staring at Wen Xinya in awe, Old Mr. Wen said, “I didn’t expect you to use this method to deal with the Xiao Family. Both the Jiang family and Xiao Family suffered major losses.”

Although Jiang Shaofeng was quick to sell all of his shares, he still incurred a hefty loss.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and asked, “Grandpa, what do you think will happen if I inform the media of the major losses that the Xiao Corporation has incurred due to the failed acquirement?”

“I reckon that the Xiao Corporation stock prices will decline by more than 50% and it will continue to plunge tomorrow.”

Wen Xinya whipped out her mobile phone and typed a message with a cunning smirk hanging from her lips.

Old Mr. Wen frowned slightly at the sight of how cruel and menacing she was, for he could not help but feel a little terrified despite being pleased with her ambitious nature.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I didn’t plan to deal with the Xiao Family at the start, but they were the ones who decided to get into cahoots and insult Father. Tit for tat. I’m not going to allow anyone to challenge our authority.”

Feeling heartened and gratified after hearing her words, Old Mr. Wen said, “You’re right. Ever since your father took over the Wen Corporation, we’ve lost some of our power and financial abilities. That’s why the Jiang family and Xiao Family decided to climb all over us. You’ve done a great job this time.”

Feeling a little shy, Wen Xinya said, “Grandpa, you’re known for your shrewd and elite business management methods, commanding lots of respect. As your granddaughter, I can’t ruin your reputation.”

Heartened to hear her words, Old Mr. Wen asked, “Tell me honestly, how much did you earn from trading this time?”

Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “I hold 30% of Ai Shang Group’s shares. Grandpa, go ahead and guess how much I’ve made.”

Old Mr. Wen guessed that Wen Xinya had made at least 300 million yuan from the stocks since the Xiao Corporation had lost about one billion yuan in total. He took a deep breath and said, “You may get to earn a lot from trading stocks and buying over sell-off stocks, but it’ll greatly affect the economy and everyone in the circle despises this method. However, it was the Xiao Family who broke the rules first and humiliated your father. What you managed to do this time, was to anger the Xiao Family and give them a warning. We’re warning them that as long as the Wen Family is provoked, we’d definitely resort to unscrupulous means to retaliate. However, we must think twice before making such moves again in the future.”

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Grandpa, I understand that ethics is important when it comes to business and that we’d be despised if we use dirty tricks to harm our competitors, although it’d be acceptable if we’re dealing with those who harmed us first. It’s just paying them back in their own coin. An eye for an eye.”

Old Mr. Wen gave a nod of agreement and said, “You’re right.”

Old Mr. Wen recalled the time when he brought Wen Xinya home. He did not expect her to have grown so much in terms of maturity and wit in less than a year.
