From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 100: Taking on a Mission in a Time of Crisis: Joining the Alliance and Exploring its Origins

The door opened, and Mr. Liu raised his thick chin slightly, glancing at Wen Nuan with disdain, his tone full of disdain: "Hey, isn't this Madam Mo? What brings you here? Could it be that Young Master Mo can't manage the family and sent you out to relax?"

Several employees around were snickering, and a suffocating sense of oppression hung in the air.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to maintain a calm tone. "Boss Liu, I'm here on behalf of the Mo Group to understand the internal conflicts within the alliance. I hope to have your cooperation."

"Cooperate? You?" Boss Liu's portly frame trembled as if he'd heard something funny, letting out bursts of unpleasant laughter. "What do you, a little girl, know about business? Master Mo must be at his wit's end, so he sent you out here to put on a show, right? Go back and tell him to stop wasting his energy. It's not his place as a young brat to dictate the alliance's affairs!"

Wen Nuan clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

She suppressed her anger and spoke word by word, "Boss Liu, although I am Mr. Mo's wife, I am also the Marketing Director of the Mo Group. In the past year, I led my team to complete three major projects, bringing in over a billion in profits for the Mo Group. As for the alliance, Mr. Mo naturally has his considerations. I'm here simply to resolve the issue as quickly as possible to avoid further losses."

Her words were so powerful that the giggles around her gradually died down, replaced by surprise and whispers.

The smile on Mr. Liu's face froze. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman could be so strong.

He opened his mouth to retort, but found himself speechless.

At this moment, a deep voice came from the corridor: "Mr. Liu, it's so lively, what are you talking about?"

Wen Nuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walking over. It was the president of the business alliance - President Zhang.

He had a warm smile on his face, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what he was really thinking.

"President Zhang, you're here." President Liu quickly put on a flattering smile. "We are discussing some issues within the alliance."

President Zhang nodded and looked at Wen Nuan: "This is..."

"Mo Group's... Wen Nuan." Mr. Liu introduced reluctantly.

"Oh, Madam Mo." Chairman Zhang smiled meaningfully. "I've long heard of you." He turned to Wen Nuan and said gently, "Since you're here, why don't you chat? I'd also like to hear your opinion."

"Of course." Wen Nuan responded calmly, but she had a vague feeling in her heart that a bigger storm was about to come.

Chairman Zhang brought Wen Nuan to the conference room and said with a smile: "Wen Nuan, young people are energetic and have ideas. They are exactly the fresh blood we need. The alliance has indeed had some internal conflicts recently, and someone needs to sort them out. How about this, you will be responsible for collecting opinions from all parties and handing them over to me after summarizing them." This seemed to be giving Wen Nuan an opportunity, but in fact it pushed her to the forefront.

Sure enough, in the next few days, Wen Nuan encountered many setbacks.

Those alliance members either refused to see her or were perfunctory in their responses, their words full of distrust towards the Mo family. Some even mocked her in a sarcastic tone as a "useless person".

Mr. Liu made things even more difficult for her and spread rumors that she was there to be a spy.

The warm work was difficult to carry out and the information collected was very little, which made her extremely frustrated.

After returning to the Mo family, Wen Nuan locked herself in the study and looked through the cooperation project information of the Mo family's enterprises in the past few years.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up when she discovered that several member companies in the alliance had successful cooperation with the Mo family in certain areas and even had common interests.

A new idea emerged in her mind.

The next day, Wen Nuan no longer begged for help in a humble manner like before. Instead, she put on a confident smile and first found Consultant Sun, who had worked with the Mo family before.

She directly pointed out the prospects of the cooperation projects between the two sides and the possible negative impact of conflicts within the alliance.

Consultant Sun was initially indifferent, but under the warm analysis, he gradually began to listen carefully and finally agreed to provide some information.

With the support of Consultant Sun, several other members who had common interests with the Mo family also started to talk. Wen Nuan finally found a breakthrough and began to collect some valuable information.

Just as she was sorting through the materials, preparing to investigate further, Secretary Wang suddenly appeared before her, a subtle smile playing on her lips. "Mrs. Mo, you've worked hard. However, sometimes knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing." She placed a USB drive on Wen Nuan's desk and whispered, "There's something in here that might interest you." Wen Nuan looked at the USB drive, a sense of unease rising in her heart...

"What is this?" Wen Nuan picked up the USB drive and plugged it into the computer.

A video popped up on the screen. The picture was dim and the sound was noisy. One could vaguely make out that it was a scene of General Manager Liu and several alliance members having a private gathering.

They toasted each other, their words filled with dissatisfaction with the allocation of new projects, and some even hinted at joining forces to squeeze out the Mo Group.

Although there is no clear evidence, this video is enough to prove that the conflicts within the alliance are indeed related to the allocation of new projects.

Wen Nuan felt a chill in her heart, as if she had touched upon a huge secret.

The phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the study. It was Mo Han.

"How are you doing over in the alliance? Is everything going well?" There was a subtle hint of worry in Mo Han's voice.

"It's okay," Wen Nuan said casually, "Just some routine investigations, no big problems."

"Don't be so stubborn," Mo Han said in a serious tone, "I know those old guys are hard to deal with. If you've been wronged, tell me and I'll help you vent your anger."

"I can handle it," Wen Nuan said impatiently, "I'm not a child, you don't have to worry about me so much."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Mo Han sighed helplessly: "I know you are very capable, but I am also worried about you. Don't forget, you are my wife now, and you are my responsibility."

Wen Nuan's heart trembled slightly, and his tone softened: "I know you care about me, I will pay attention to safety."

"That's good," Mo Han's voice became gentle again, "Rest early and don't get too tired."

After hanging up the phone, a warm feeling surged in my heart.

Mo Han's concern made her feel extremely at ease.

She clenched her fists, her eyes determined: I must get to the bottom of this matter and not let him down.

She copied the video from the USB drive and hid it carefully.

Then she began to organize all the information she had collected, trying to find connections and clues.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Secretary Wang stood at the door with a meaningful smile on his face: "Mrs. Mo, Chairman Zhang wants you to come over." Wen Nuan followed Secretary Wang to Chairman Zhang's office. When she pushed the door open, a strong smell of cigar hit her in the face.

Chairman Zhang sat behind a large desk, holding a thick cigar in his hand, puffing away at the smoke. The room was filled with smoke, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Mr. Liu sat on the sofa beside him, crossed his legs, looking very proud.

"President Zhang, are you looking for me?" Wen Nuan's tone was calm, without any fear.

President Zhang slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Nuan, and said slowly, "I heard that you have been very active recently, asking around about the alliance."

"I just want to understand the situation and solve the problem as soon as possible." Wen Nuan answered calmly.

"Solve the problem?" Mr. Liu sneered. "You're just a little girl, how can you know how to solve a problem? I think you have other intentions than the bar!"

Wen Nuan glanced at Mr. Liu coldly, ignoring his provocation. Instead, she looked directly at Chairman Zhang and said, "Chairman Zhang, as long as everyone is honest with each other and works together, we will definitely be able to find a solution."

Chairman Zhang flicked the ash from his cigarette and said meaningfully, "It's good for young people to be energetic, but they should also act within their capabilities. Some things can't be controlled just because you want to."

"I know the alliance's affairs are complicated," Wen Nuan said in a firm tone, without any hesitation.

Chairman Zhang was silent for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I heard you are very familiar with Investor Zhao?"

Wen Nuan's heart trembled, but she replied calmly, "Mr. Zhao and I have only met a few times, so we're not very familiar with each other."

"Really?" Chairman Zhang looked at her with a half-smile. "I heard that Mr. Zhao admires you very much and is interested in investing in your project."

Wen Nuan's heart was filled with alarm, and she realized that President Zhang was testing her.

She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Mr. Zhao did express interest in my project, but this has nothing to do with the alliance."

Chairman Zhang did not ask any more questions. Instead, he stood up, walked to the window, turned his back to Wen Nuan, and said, "Young man, sometimes, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing."

Wen Nuan also stood up and looked directly at President Zhang's back without fear. She said, "I don't want to know too much. I just want to know the truth."

President Zhang turned around, a meaningful smile still on his face. "The truth? The truth is often cruel. Are you sure you want to know?"

"I'm sure." Wen Nuan said firmly, without any hesitation.

President Zhang stared at Wen Nuan for a long time, then suddenly laughed, his laughter low and strange. "Okay, since you want to know the truth so much, then I'll show you the truth." He walked to the desk, picked up a folder, and handed it to Wen Nuan. "Everything you want to know is in it."

Wen Nuan took the folder, opened it, and her face turned pale instantly.

"How could this happen..." She muttered to herself, and the folder in her hand slipped weakly and fell to the ground.

"Now, do you still want to know the truth?" President Zhang's voice echoed in the room, like a devilish voice from hell.

Secretary Wang walked forward, picked up the folder on the ground, handed it to President Zhang, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It seems that Madam Mo needs some time to digest this information." She turned to Wen Nuan and said in a cold tone, "Let me take you back to rest first." Wen Nuan seemed not to hear her words, her eyes were dull, and she looked like she had lost her soul.

Secretary Wang held her up and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, the fun has just begun..."
