Chapter 1188 [Unpredictable Heights] (1)
It is not accidental that a person can reach a high position like Wen Guoquan. Not only must he have considerable governing ability, but he must also have a strong mentality. This is exactly where Chen Xuan has always admired Wen Guoquan. There are many people who can remain calm, but there are not many who can still be as calm as Wen Guoquan after the storm and waves come. From a simple point, it is not accidental that Wen Guoquan can achieve what he has today.
Wen Guoquan guessed that Chen Xuan's purpose was related to the foundation's affairs. After Chen Xuan sat down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he wanted to show his calmness as usual. However, Wen Guoquan still saw the difference from his subtle actions and said softly: "Is there anything to ask me for?" Although he spoke first, he threw the power to expand the theme to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "I'm sorry for the foundation's affairs. I didn't expect Hongxi to bring you such a big trouble. I'm sorry, it's all because I'm not strict in discipline."
Wen Guoquan couldn't help laughing: "Chen Xuan, their intention to establish the foundation is good, but their kindness has been used by those who are interested. Since the matter has happened, it is useless to blame them now. In fact, they are already very sad. Chen Xuan, the founder of the foundation is your sister-in-law, and she should also bear the main responsibility."
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "No, this matter has always been caused by Hongxi. I have already talked to her and she has deeply realized her mistakes. Besides, my sister-in-law has hardly intervened in the management of the foundation. How can she be responsible? I have asked her to start preparing for a statement that a small press conference will be held in the afternoon to clarify the matter."
Wen Guoquan showed gratitude in his eyes. Chen Xuan deserved to be a subordinate who had been following him for many years. At this time of turmoil, Chen Xuan took the initiative to stand up and take on this responsibility. In Wen Guoquan's heart, he had already expected that the situation in front of him would appear. However, Chen Xuan did not stand up as early as he imagined. This is not surprising. When it comes to family matters, everyone will struggle and hesitate. Chen Xuan is no exception. Moreover, this matter will definitely greatly damage Chen Xuan's reputation and even have a certain impact on his official career. Therefore, Wen Guoquan did not force or make any hints to let Chen Xuan stand up and sacrifice, but the best solution to this crisis is to Chen Xuan stand up.
So when Chen Xuan said this, Wen Guoquan felt a little relaxed from the bottom of his heart, and was also a little moved. Sacrifices in the political struggle are inevitable. Chen Xuan's efforts today will prove that time is worth it.
However, Wen Guoquan's touch did not last long. Chen Xuan then whispered: "The child Anbang is ignorant, but he has nothing to do with Hongxi's affairs."
Wen Guoquan picked up the teacup in front of him. He didn't say anything, and he didn't look at Chen Xuan, but took a sip of tea slowly: "Children should stay away from war."
Chen Xuan whispered: "I only have one son, and in my heart, no one in this world is more important than him!"
Wen Guoquan's expression was still gentle, but his eyes suddenly became cold and slowly fell down the teacup: "Chen Xuan, what happened to Anbang?"
Chen Xuan didn't say anything, looking straight at Wen Guoquan. He had known Wen Guoquan for many years, but until today, he didn't dare to say that he knew Wen Guoquan. He knew that his wisdom could not be compared with Wen Guoquan. After the incident in the foundation, he fell into deep contradictions. He did think about asking his wife to stand up and take on all the responsibilities, but before making this decision, he hesitated. He had to admit that the main reason for forcing him to come to Wen Guoquan on his own initiative and bowed his head to admit his mistake was his son's kidnapped.
Wen Guoquan already understood from Chen Xuan's expression. He said calmly: "Chen Xuan, how many years have we known each other?"
Chen Xuan lowered his head and still didn't say anything.
Wen Guoquan said: "When you go back, think about it carefully. If a person is too selfish, then in his eyes, everyone in this world is selfish."
After Chen Xuan left, Wen Guoquan pondered alone in the study for a long time. He was originally moved by Chen Xuan's proactive statement. Now he realized that the reason why Chen Xuan came to express his opinion was because under pressure, Wen Guoquan couldn't help but feel lost, sad because of loss, and angry because of sadness.
The door was gently knocked and after receiving the approval, Luo Huining walked into the room gently and looked at Wen Guoquan who was sitting alone behind the desk. She shook her head, picked up the teapot on the table and added hot tea to her husband, and said softly: "What's wrong?"
Wen Guoquan said: "Chen Xuan expressed his intention to let Yao Hongxi stand up and take on the foundation's affairs."
Luo Huining said: "Forget it, I should take the main responsibility in this matter." She was not afraid of taking responsibility, but was afraid that standing up would affect her husband's future.
Wen Guoquan said: "What should have happened to his son, otherwise he would not decide to take on the matter."
Luo Huining looked at her husband and gently bit her lip.
Wen Guoquan sighed and said, "One thing made me see a person clearly. I thought that after this crisis broke out, someone would come forward to take on this matter as soon as possible. Although he did not stand up immediately, I still believe he would. I think anyone has to consider it when encountering such a thing. After all, hesitation is inevitable when it comes to family members."
Luo Huining said: "Guoquan, why are you angry? In fact, it can't be blamed on Hongxi for this matter."
Wen Guoquan said: "Our Wen family is not afraid of taking responsibility. I have been an official for so many years, but when did I give up on my friends?"
Luo Huining said: "You mean Chen Xuan was forced to stand up this time?"
Wen Guoquan said: "I won't blame him if he doesn't stand up, but when he came to me today, he clearly thought that something happened to his son was related to me, and he was useless to work with me for so many years. He didn't know my character? When did I use such a method?"
Luo Huining came behind her husband, gently kneaded his shoulders, and whispered: "Everyone will consider his family, and Chen Xuan must be very conflicted. National power, you should not be angry. But what happened to Anbang? Who wants to use Chen Anbang to force Yao Hongxi to stand up and take responsibility?"
Wen Guoquan frowned and shook his head again.
Luo Huining said: "I never thought that Yao Hongxi would take responsibility for the foundation's affairs. I thought about it and I should stand up and say something to the public."
Wen Guoquan said: "Yao Hongxi must bear the problem this time."
Luo Huining asked in surprise, looking at Wen Guoquan, not understanding why he said such words.
Wen Guoquan said: "Many problems exist objectively. Yao Hongxi will not recommend Li Qifan to the foundation for no reason. Yao Hongxi is not a fool. Of course, she understands the consequences of embezzling the foundation's donations may affect Chen Xuan's future, but she still does this, the reason is very simple." Wen Guoquan paused for a moment.
Luo Huining whispered: "Are the rumors spreading outside true?" What she said was a very close thing Yao Hongxi and Li Qifan. There have been rumors outside about the relationship between the two, but Luo Huining herself always laughed at such rumors, but from her husband's words, she realized the inner meaning.
Wen Guoquan smiled unanimously: "Yao Hongxi is a restless woman!" He did not continue the topic because he felt that his identity was not suitable for judging other people's private lives, although he had already obtained conclusive evidence.
Luo Huining looked at her husband with a calm expression and suddenly understood why he could still maintain the mentality of Gu Jing Bubo under such circumstances. It turned out that he had already planned and did not take the foundation's affairs seriously because he was confident enough to let Yao Hongxi come out to take responsibility. If we simply start from the perspective of emotions, Luo Huining would rather bear all the responsibilities herself, but she must take into account the possible political impact of this matter and the adverse factors that may arise for her husband.
After following her husband for many years, Luo Huining's understanding of politics is far more than that of ordinary people. She knows that politics cannot talk about emotions, but humans are emotional animals and often they will involuntarily be troubled by emotions. Thinking of the deep friendship between the Wen and Chen families for so many years, they can't resist the test of political storms, Luo Huining couldn't help but feel sad.
Wen Guoquan said softly, "Hui Ning, help me make an appointment with Zhang Yang."
Official Zhang was somewhat surprised when he received this call from Luo Huining. He thought that Luo Huining had been deliberately silent these days and had interrupted contact with the outside world.
Luo Huining said: "It's not me looking for you, it's your godfather who called him to see you."
Zhang Daguanren said, "Why...godmother, what did I do wrong?"
Luo Huining said: "I don't know what he is looking for you, but I'll talk about it when you come."
Zhang Yang said: "Is Haonan here?" He did not want to meet Wen Haonan head-on, not because he was afraid of Wen Haonan, but because he did not have the need to conflict with him.
Luo Huining said: "He and Sophie went to Huangwan for vacation and would come back the day after tomorrow." Of course, she understood what her godson was thinking.
Zhang Daguanren smiled and said, "I've been living together. It seems that the day they will get married is not far away."
Luo Huining sighed and said nothing, but she had already revealed her dislike for this marriage.
Zhang Yang said: "Godmom, I'll go to have dinner tonight."
Luo Huining said: "By the way, Xiaoling is at home, she asks you to invite Chen Xue to come together."
Master Zhang was slightly stunned. Wen Ling actually offered an invitation to Chen Xue. She seemed to have changed a different person recently, but she didn't know what purpose she wanted to see Chen Xue?
