Chapter 1838: Responding to the Nation’s Call to Have Children Earlier

At this point, Wen Xinya had no idea that her greatest fear had become a reality. Xia Ruya had long ago targeted that batch of sub-quality garments in Wen Corporation’s warehouse, with plans to use them to deal a blow to the Wen Corporation’s reputation.

Nevertheless, Wen Xinya had already a.s.signed workers to get rid of that batch of clothing and remove that potential threat to the Wen Corporation.

At the same time, Sun Yichen’s suggestion to expand their reach into the mid-range market had lessened Wen Xinya’s trust in him.

She couldn’t deny the practicality of Sun Yichen’s suggestion. But on second thought, she could also see how self-serving his suggestion was. More importantly, he was the Deputy CEO and part of Wen Corporation’s higher management, but he didn’t believe in the company. While the Wen Corporation was in crisis, he was still thinking of how to further his own self-interest. Such a person was not to be trusted.

“What are you thinking about?” Zhou Tianyu gently nudged Wen Xinya’s elbow.

It was a rare chance that everyone had gathered together, but she appeared very distracted.

Wen Xinya snapped out of her trance and shook her head. “Nothing. Just thinking about some issues at the Wen Corporation.”

She had already known since a long time ago that under Wen Haowen’s management, the Wen Corporation was filled with employees who were just bloodsucking parasites. The company looked bright and s.h.i.+ny on the outside but was rotten to the core on the inside.

However, she didn’t realize just how serious the situation was until she started this reorganization. The company had remained standing for so long only because Grandpa was holding it together and because of its good foundation. But if the internal problems were not resolved soon, the Wen Corporation would descend into chaos.

Xu Tongxuan winked at Wen Xinya. “Ninth Si was the one who arranged today’s outing. He is worried you have been under too much pressure lately, and especially had us ask you out today to relax a bit. You shouldn’t waste his good intentions.”

During this period, because of the money laundering scandal, Old Mr. Wen’s detainment and the Li Corporation’s attack—Wen Corporation’s share price had fallen drastically, the company’s share of the luxury brands market had also declined, while their operations continued to shrink.

Xinya was indeed under a lot of pressure having to oversee all these issues.

Wen Xinya was somewhat astounded.

Si Yiyan had been even busier than her lately, but he still thought about her.

Ye Feiyu couldn’t help smiling at her puzzled face. “Since we came out to have fun, stop thinking about your troubles.”

In this whole world, Ninth Si only had eyes for Wen Xinya.

His attention toward Xinya was far beyond the scope of normalcy.

Wen Xinya pushed aside her worries and smiled. “I have indeed been under quite a bit of stress lately. It is time for me to relax a little.”

Having been so busy with Wen Corporation’s work matters, she was completely wound up all the time. She could feel her tense muscles loosening up as she set down her burden.

Ling Qingxuan poured a gla.s.s of red wine for her. “It’s been a long time since we drank together, so no one is going home sober tonight!”

Looking at the gla.s.s of red wine before her, Wen Xinya appeared a bit awkward as she thought of how she had been preparing herself to get pregnant this period of time. She hesitated as she considered whether she should drink it.

It was actually beneficial to health to imbibe a moderate amount of red wine, but she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to stop at just one gla.s.s the moment she started drinking.

Zhou Tianyu chuckled as she took over her gla.s.s of red wine. “Come on, Miss Ling, don’t be like that. Just think back on all our past gatherings, how many times did Xinya actually drink? It is all so obvious, how could you still not understand?”

Xinya’s intentions had always been very clear and obvious. Anyone should be able to see.

From the time Wen Jinyu was born, Xinya had purposely taken on some new lifestyle habits. No one really noticed at first, but as time went on, they couldn’t help noticing the changes.

Ling Qingxuan looked blankly at Zhou Tianyu. “Understand what?”

It was obvious he had totally missed Zhou Tianyu’s meaning.

Xu Tongxuan and Ye Feiyu laughed uproariously.

Gu Junling was also somewhat puzzled. But then he recalled that Zhou Tianyu had also been consciously cutting down on smoke and alcohol recently, and realization suddenly dawned upon him.

Wen Xinya looked somewhat awkward. She reached for the gla.s.s of wine in Zhou Tianyu’s hands. “Aren’t we drinking…”

Du Ruo stared at Wen Xinya with bright eyes. “Xinya, are you planning to have a baby with Brother Si already? It isn’t good to drink when preparing for pregnancy, but a moderate amount of red wine will be good for your body.”

Du Ruo’s words instantly made things clear for everyone.

Realization dawned on everyone. So Wen Xinya was avoiding alcohol because she was trying to get pregnant. They all turned sly, teasing eyes on Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya’s hand, which was reaching toward the wine gla.s.s, froze.

Han Mofeng was shocked. “Xinya, if I am not wrong, you are just 26 years old, not 36. Why do you wish to have a baby so soon?”

In his opinion, Wen Xinya had her own flouris.h.i.+ng career—why would she want to take on the heavy responsibility of a baby and family right now?

Wen Xinya shot him a glare. “I will be at an advanced maternal age if I wait till I am 36 years old. Our country discourages women from waiting until they are at an advanced age to bear children, so I am just answering our nation’s call to have children earlier.”

Babies born before the mother reached the age of 30 would be the healthiest.

Han Mofeng looked embarra.s.sed.

Gu Junling heartily approved of Wen Xinya’s words. “Having children earlier is beneficial to the nation and to everyone. As citizens, we must support this movement.”

With that, he glanced meaningfully at Zhou Tianyu.

His gaze was very intense and everyone could detect some hidden meaning underlying his words.

Zhou Tianyu blushed and felt like crawling into a hold in the ground to hide. She recalled how Gu Junling had been staying home more in the recent period. So this was the reason why.

Xu Tongxuan glanced at Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu. “Why do I feel that Gu Junling has become increasingly wicked? Could it the bad influence of the company he keeps?”

They had become closer to Ninth Si over the past few years.

It was no secret that Ninth Si was the devil in disguise, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Xinya had been influenced by his corrupt ways.

But even the earnest and steadfast Gu Junling had also been swayed onto the dark path!

Du Ruo looked at Wen Xinya in all seriousness. “Xinya, if you really want to have a healthy baby, you must change your current stressful lifestyle. Stress and fatigue will directly impact your chances of getting pregnant.”

She spoke very seriously.

Wen Xinya also listened earnestly. She had always wanted a baby and had been trying to get pregnant for over a year but to no avail. Could it really be as Du Ruo said? The reason was because of her current lifestyle?
