Chapter 1096: I Have Plenty of Time
After hearing Secretary Cao’s words, the rest of the directors similarly expressed their intentions to consider the budget before giving an answer . After all, Secretary Cao was Old Mr . Wen’s trusted secretary . In other words, he represented Old Mr . Wen .
“You’re right, Secretary Cao . The funds are a serious matter and we have to consider it carefully before coming to a decision . ”
“It’s such a large amount of funds . We can’t just approve of it casually . We have to think about our budget, too . ”
“The entertainment city project is a large one that needs time to be developed . We still have to go through some careful consideration . ”
Everyone’s words made Wen Haowen’s face grow sullen . He had thought about a thousand excuses that he could give to convince the directors . However, he was at a loss for what to do now .
He stared at Secretary Cao coldly . The thought of the retired Old Mr . Wen making Secretary Cao create trouble for him made Wen Haowen incredibly exasperated .
Wen Haowen turned pale .
Just as Wen Haowen was about to speak, Ning Shuqian beat him to it . “Dear directors, your concerns are not uncalled for . We indeed ought to consider carefully before investing such a massive amount of funds . However, just like the directors have mentioned, the matter about the entertainment city project is very serious and the shareholders are taking this seriously too . We can’t delay the progress of the project . Why don’t you guys let us know how long you have to consider this for?”
It was not impossible for Wen Haowen to use his status as a major shareholder to undermine the directors . However, if he were to do so he would definitely offend some of the directors who were the spokespeople of the shareholders . Hence, it would be inappropriate of him to offend the shareholders .
The entertainment city project had just begun and he still needed the support of the shareholders, as well as the funds that they could invest . Thus, he felt that there was no harm in taking a step back now .
Once the Wen Corporation began to delve into the project, they would not be able to get out of it . By then, they would have no choice but to approve of the funds .
He decided to tolerate it for now . Anyway, Wen Haowen owned 23% of the Wen Corporation’s shares and was also the CEO . Since it was an acceptable amount, it was only a matter of time before they approved of it .
There was no need for her to offend the shareholders .
Wen Haowen gradually began to understand Ning Shuqian’s plans . “I agree with Director Ning’s suggestion . ”
All the directors agreed .
After all, the shareholders had already approved of the entertainment city and regarded it highly too . They naturally knew the pros and cons and wouldn’t dare to be hasty with it .
Wen Haowen smiled and said, “Since everyone agrees, how about we set a time frame of three days? Three days should be enough for you guys to consider!”
Three days was a reasonable amount of time and hence, the directors did not have a reason to oppose to it .
Wen Haowen was not worried about creating unnecessary trouble . After all, the entertainment city project had been approved by the shareholders and the amount of 300 million yuan would definitely have to be invested in the project .
In that case, what was the harm in waiting for three days?

At last, everyone gave in to Wen Haowen’s decision .
Wen Xinya had expected all of that to happen . She urged Secretary Cao to speak, precisely because she wanted to delay the approval of the funds . She could not let Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian compel the directors into approving the fund .
She still had three days to prevent Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen from getting what they wanted .
She was using the tactic of stalling time .
The meeting came to an end .
The directors left the conference room .
Wen Xinya and Ning Shuqian were the only ones left .
Ning Shuqian appeared sultry in her red shirt and black suit while Wen Xinya looked resplendent and beautiful in her almond-colored suit .
Ning Shuqian smiled coquettishly and exclaimed, “Xinya, they all say that the tables will turn and times will change . You probably didn’t expect that I’d have such a glorious time, did you!?!”
She sounded as if she was just joking, though her gaze was absolutely provoking .

Wen Xinya smirked coldly and her face was just like melted ice, a little warm but icy at the same time . “Ning Shuqian, don’t be so conceited as to think that you’re already the winner . The game hasn’t ended yet . I have more than enough time to play this game with you . ”
Wen Xinya gently knocked her neatly trimmed nails against the desk in the conference room . Although her pink nail lacquer was not particularly eye-catching, they made her fingers look exceptionally long and clean .
Ning Shuqian laughed seductively and retorted . “Well said, there’s still a long way for us to go . I’ll play with you slowly and let you taste defeat . ”
Now that she had officially become a member of the board, she would definitely be facing Wen Xinya a lot more in the future . Hence, she was no longer afraid of creating unnecessary trouble and decided to stop tolerating Wen Xinya .
Wen Xinya sneered . “Don’t be too quick to speak . Be careful not to bite your tongue . ”
No one could tell who the dominant one was and who the winner would be .
Ning Shuqian said smilingly, “We’ll find out very soon . ”
It was impossible for Wen Xinya to stop the entertainment city project from proceeding, and she had no choice but to bring up the idea of a separate company . Although that resulted in a lot of hassles and issues for the entertainment city, it was not exactly a threat to Ning Shuqian . Once the funds were approved, Wen Xinya would have no way of stopping them .
Wen Xinya said calmly, “Let’s wait and see, then . ”
Ning Shuqian was just feeling proud and arrogant because her scheme had worked . Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the guts to say those things to Wen Xinya .

Ning Shuqian grabbed the document in front of her and glanced at Wen Xinya calmly before turning around to leave .
Wen Xinya suddenly interjected . “Miss Ning, oops, I mean, Director Ning! Please don’t forget to drop by the Wen Family mansion and apologize to my Grandpa . If the directors find out that you didn’t stick to your promise, they’re going to have a bad impression of you . ”
Wen Xinya did not mind at all . She was just trying to remind Ning Shuqian that she couldn’t throw her weight around the Wen Corporation just because she could manipulate Wen Haowen . After all, Old Mr . Wen was the real person in charge .
As expected, Ning Shuqian’s body stiffened and she stopped in her tracks . She took a deep breath before opening the door of the conference room and striding away, her heels producing loud and crisp noises .
