Chapter 1723: To Never Regret!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The protest that the boycotters caused in front of the Health Supplements Association, along with the attack that they launched on the interim chairman, Lanxin Corporation’s boss Bella, had already been reported by the media.
Some said that Lanxin Corporation was blinded by greed, and Bella was bought over by T-K Corporation, and the local firms were sold out. Some also said that this was just a play to reduce the trust of the people in Country Z’s Health Supplements Association and to remove their confidence in Lanxin Corporation and Bella.
All sorts of negative posts sprung up, the majority of which talked about how useless the Health Supplements Association was and how Lanxin Corporation was not doing anything to help. This directly implicated Lanxin Corporation and was vastly different from the previous time they dealt with T-K Corporation.
There were many words of anger and scolding, which were unsightly.
Very obviously, this was the work of T-K Corporation.
To them, this was to disrupt the power and influence that Lanxin Corporation and the Health Supplements Association had in Country Z, to let them lose all fighting power against T-K.
They were very satisfied with the results.
Xia Ruya looked at the newspaper reports and simply said, “Look, this is the current situation in Country Z.”
This entire matter was indeed instigated by her.
However, it was not exactly done by her. She simply hinted at few executives of those small firms that wanted to change sides and depend on T-K Corporation instead. This entire plan was coordinated by them.
Of course, on the media, social media and the internet, T-K Corporation and her worked together to fuel the flames.
Jose spiritedly said, “The people of Country Z are not bonded, just like a plate of loose sand. In such a big country, anybody could become Lanxin Corporation’s enemy. How could Lanxin Corporation even stand a chance against us? Very soon, T-K Corporation will be able to dominate the entire Country Z’s health supplements market.”
Over this period, T-K Corporation’s sales had been steadily growing, allowing Jose to have a taste of what it could be.
The spending power of a large market like Country Z was totally shocking.
He could already predict that he, who helped the company open up such a massive and good market like Country Z, would be welcoming the peak of his life soon.
Xia Ruya slowly spoke, “We should make a move on Chu Jingnan’s side soon as well!”
Lanxin Corporation was deep in public discussion and was suffering from a crusade of scolding and attacks. Within the company was internal unrest and uncertainty. This opportunity was the best time to buy over Lanxin Corporation.

After Wen Xinya washed her head, she walked out with a head full of wet hair.
Si Yiyan was sitting on the sofa, his eyes intently looking at her, and he ordered, “Come here!”
His voice was cold and deep, and it was just like the kind of deepness after a moment of anger. This led Wen Xinya to feel a strong sense of intimidation. She dragged her feet and slowly moved towards him.
“Come sit beside me.” Si Yiyan impatiently looked at her slow movements and frowned.
Wen Xinya, who was watching his expression, hurriedly went over to sit right beside him.
“The egg really didn’t hurt me at all!” Wen Xinya emphasized.
Si Yiyan ignored her and simply pushed aside the hair that was covering the spot where she was hit by the egg. Indeed, the spot was mildly red and swollen, and her saying that it did not hurt was simply to comfort him.
“It’s only one egg. Zheng Yifan had it worst, he was hit by four or five.”
After she was hit by the rotten egg, Zheng Yifan reacted and used himself as a human shield, blocking another wave of rotten eggs. When she left, she saw that Zheng Yifan’s entire shirt was splattered with egg whites and yolk along with some shells and looked absolutely terrible.
“Are you reminding me that when you were hit by the rotten eggs, the man protecting you was not me?”
Si Yiyan slowly spoke while gently caressing the swollen spot.
Although it was only a fragile egg, thrown from afar with enough strength, it hurt just as much as a rock.
Wen Xinya swallowed her words, quietly saying, “N... No!”
She really did not think that way.
When he came to rescue her when she was being surrounded, she was already very touched.
“Do you feel bad?” Si Yiyan’s tone softened, and he held her in an embrace.
It was only a rotten egg, it should not have hit too hard and so would not hurt too badly. But what about how she felt on the inside?
Seeing eggs being thrown at her, getting scolded, mistaken and hurt, fuelled his anger more than anything else.
How could those people treat her like that? They did not know that she was really trying her best to protect these local brands with all she could! In order to fight against T-K Corporation, Lanxin Corporation and her were facing so much stress.
Wen Xinya quietened down and moodily said, “It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel bad. Everyone, including the association, Lanxin Corporation and I myself are standing up against T-K Corporation to prevent being bought over by a foreign firm. We are on the frontlines and are being stressed out by various different firms, but the people don’t understand us.”
After she finished speaking, she sighed softly and turned to look towards the window.
In the blink of an eye, autumn was arriving!
Just now, the sky was bright and sunny, but now it was gloomy and cloudy. In no time, there would definitely be a heavy downpour.
Country Z’s fight against T-K Corporation to prevent it from buying out the health supplement firms had persisted for over 2 years.
Over these 2 years, in order to resist getting bought over, and to protect the local brands, the health supplement firms in Country Z put in so much effort and suffered so much just to fight, and Mei Shan Company even declared bankruptcy, NBJ lost large amounts, but there were still many small firms fighting on the frontlines.
“Although a majority of them were affected by propaganda and incited, what hurt me the most is that our people aren’t united.”
This sentence nicely summed up the fatigue that she felt.
Indeed, although she looked calm and cool on the outside, she suffered from an unimaginable amount of stress on the inside.
Si Yiyan held her tightly in an embrace, softly saying, “You can’t please everyone, just have no regrets in what you do.”
At this moment, this was all he could say to comfort her.
It was weak and flat.
Wen Xinya remained in his embrace and said, “Don’t worry, I’m really fine. Some people and things can’t be controlled by me. Although I may be disappointed inside, I won’t really go and care about it.”
She always did what she needed to do.
She would not change her course of action due to some people misunderstanding her.
She also would not quit just because some people were out to hurt and attack her.
This was her determination.
And she would definitely persist till the end.
Si Yiyan’s planted a wet kiss on her earlobes and stuck a hand up her pajamas, grabbing her. “In this sadness, why don’t we do something that makes us happy?”
The mood changed way too quickly, and Wen Xinya could not adapt that fast.
She wanted to scold him. “Gangster!”
Yet, Si Yiyan had her pinned down on the sofa, obviously not planning to move from this location. “Your skills still need to improve.”
Following this, Wen Xinya felt something cold and hard slowly moving down her chest.
Si Yiyan’s intentions were clear.
