Chapter 370 What Is Your Purpose


    "Jean, what is your purpose behind all of this?" It was certain that there was more to all of this than


    what met the eye. Joy looked at Jean and asked her doubtfully.


    She did not believe that Jean''s n to let Shirley work in the Wen Group instead of driving them away


    was a kind one.


    ''You have left no stone unturned to assume power in the Wen Group. Haven''t you done this just to oust


    Shirley and I from the Wen Group?


    Jean, what is your actual motive behind helping us?''


    "Joy, you have been asking me what my purpose is. I can tell you that now I have achieved my


    purpose." Jean looked at Joy with a sardonic smile. "I have got the Wen Group now. What else do you


    think that I want to get? Don''t think of me as you. I am not someone who''d force you into a corner.


    Winner has passed away. Shirley is my only sister. I have told you, I want to let Shirley turn over a new


    leaf and start being a kind person.


    Joy, don''t you have any regrets? What do you think made you fail so miserably today? It has been your


    faulty teaching that has got Winner killed and made Shirley so arrogant. You have already seen the


    result of your bad parenting in Winner''s case. Do you still want to see Shirley behaving like this and


    finally…"


    "Shut up!" Indignant, Joy pointed a finger at Jean. "Shut up, you." She screamed this time and red at


    Jean. "I refuse to believe that you are being kind or have no ulterior motive behind all of this…"


    "Look, you are judging me by your standards. I have everything that I want now. I can forgive my father


    despite his ill-treatment of me, let alone you," Jean smiled and replied in an even-tempered tone.


    Joy felt an inkling of doubt creep up and giving into the argument Jean just made.


    ''Jean is right. It is because of me that Jean has been so lucky today.


    If I hadn''t persuaded Henry to do those things, Jean would not have ever gotten married to Zed nor


    enjoy such a high social status.


    Of course, many of those things Henry did were out of his own will.


    If she can forgive Henry, clearly Jean will not hurt Shirley or me.


    Besides, now that we have nothing to lose, what is there to be afraid of?


    As long as Shirley stays in thepany and suffers little hardships and I can get the vi worth ten


    million dors, we''ll be fine. Why don''t I ept her offer?''


    With all these thoughts churning inside her, Joy became more and more excited.


    Jean smiled and watched Joy in silence. She was waiting for Joy''s answer patiently.


    It hardly worried her that Joy would not agree. Her greed and ignorance was the root cause of her


    losing everything.


    A person, especially a woman, loses more only if she is too scheming.

    That vi would be the best bait to lure Joy into the trap.


    "Well, I agree with you. Shirley would work in the Wen Group, starting at the bottom," Joy looked up at


    Jean and said with a bitter smile.


    "Okay." Jean nodded to Joy cidly and extended her hand to shake hers as she said,"I hope we will


    both enjoy our cooperation."


    Seeing Jean readily reach out to her, Joy hesitated. Looking into Jean''s serene face, Joy felt sure of


    the deal she was agreeing to. She grabbed Jean''s hand and said,"I hope we have a good deal."


    A brief moment passed as Joy turned to exit the room feeling calm about how they had resolved their


    ousting from the Wen Group. As Jean watched her go, a sly smile rose to her lips.


    ''Joy, from now on, our real contest begins.''


    "Mom, why did you ept her offer? I don''t want to start at the bottom! I am also a Wen. Why can she


    be the CEO but I have to bear all the toughness…"


    When Jean walked out of the meeting room, she overheard Shirleyin with dissatisfaction.


    The smile on Jean''s face became brighter. She was hardly worried about Joy not being able to


    persuade Shirley.


    ''Joy, as long as you care about something, I will make you realize the pain of loss.''


    "Boss." Seeing Jean exit, the secretary-general approached her on the entrance and greeted her.


    Jean acknowledged his greeting with a nod. She recollected Henry''s suggestions, one of which was to


    trust a group of people in thepany. The secretary-general was one of them.


    "Ask Manager Zhang, Director Li and Section Chief Wang toe to my office for a short meeting,"


    Jean said to the secretary-general.


    "Okay, boss." The secretary-general quickly left.


    Jean opened the door and walked into the CEO''s office. Taking in the opulent office, Jean was left


    speechless about Henry''s taste.


    ''It doesn''t matter. Anyway, I will not stay in the Wen Group for a long time. Just let it be!''


    In the evening, Jean were to take a taxi to go back home.


    Thinking of how dissatisfied Benjamin had seemed before she left, Jean smiled bitterly.


    Already tired to the bone, Jean thought that it would be a short meeting and it was better to do it now


    though it was already evening. She thought it would take only one or two hours.


    After all, they had just talked about personnel changes and rearrangements of jobs.


    Since Jean hade into power, reshuffling thepany was a must.


    Jean specifically mentioned a number of board of directors who supported Joy. But Manager Zhang


    challenged her when she expressed her dissatisfaction with them.


    His point was simple. Before re-appointing these gentlemen, she should have a list of recements.


    The fact that the Wen Group was seeing a period of turmoil, and Jean had just taken office, such bold


    moves could worsen things for her and thepany.


    Still, Jean felt uneasy about people like him not standing by her side at this time.


    Since it was Manager Zhang who had raised this point, it was hard to quash it down ore up with a


    better rebuttal.


    ''Perhaps, I would have to consult with Henry and see if he has any good idea.''


    Finally, she took a taxi home. Back at home, Jean felt utter exhaustione over her. She was


    mentally and physically finished and had no energy to deal with one more thing.


    Jean changed her shoes and walked into the living room. Benjamin, Dan and Jesse were sitting on the


    sofa and chatting cheerfully.


    At Jean''s entering the room, all of them stopped their banter mid-way and looked at her with quizzical


    expressions.


    "Hi! Grandpa and Grandpa Dan." Jean greeted them with embarrassment. "I am sorry for gettingte.


    There was a horrendous traffic jam. What would you like for dinner? I will quickly cook them for you."


    "Come here," Benjamin looked at Jean with seriousness and said this abruptly.


    Surprised, Jean tried to understand what Benjamin was doing, though she felt more and more uneasy.


    She found that all of them looked as solemn as a judge. What had happened?


    Jean obediently stood in front of Benjamin, and smiled at him.


    "You didn''t go to work today. Where were you all day?" Benjamin looked at Jean with a hint of anger


    lurking behind a seemingly calm face.


    She was shocked. Simpering, she said,"Grandpa, what did you say? I don''t understand your words."


    "Don''t mess with me. Tell me the truth!" Seeing Jean feign innocence angered Benjamin even more.


    Red in the face and wide-eyed, he red at her for an answer.


    "Jean, tell us the truth!" Letting out a sigh, Jesse said,"At noon, Grandpa Benjamin and I went to the


    restaurant near yourpany. Grandpa Benjamin wanted to have lunch with you together and so he


    called Zed. But Zed could not get through to your phone, which is why he called at yourpany…"


    Even if Jesse did not tell her after this, Jean already knew what had happened.


    The fact that she did not go to work was exposed!
