From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 118: The Dawn of Hope: The Beginning of a New Journey for the Family

The black-clad man's dagger stopped just inches away from warmth.

Mo Han grabbed the black-clad man's wrist with his backhand, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Butler Liu was still in shock and hurried forward to check if Wen Nuan was injured.

"I'm fine." Wen Nuan poked her head out from behind Mo Han. Although her face was a little pale, she was extremely calm.

Mo Han's eyes were cold and his tone was as frosty as frost: "Tell me, who sent you here!" The man in black gritted his teeth and said nothing.

A few minutes later, the Mo family guards arrived and took the man in black away.

This sudden attack cast a shadow over the originally peaceful night.

The next day, the family meeting was held as scheduled.

Although Wen Nuan had experienced the shock last night, she still appeared in the meeting room in high spirits.

She outlined her carefully prepared development plan, which includes a series of measures such as expanding emerging industries, strengthening international cooperation, and optimizing internal management.

Family members who once doubted her are now full of admiration and trust in her.

Uncle Mo slammed the table excitedly and praised loudly: "Wu Nuan girl, you are really the lucky star of our Mo family!"

After the meeting, Mo Han took Wen Nuan's hand and walked towards the garden.

The sunlight shone on them, as if they were coated with a layer of golden light.

He looked at Wen Nuan affectionately, his eyes full of love: "Wen Nuan, you are really the lucky star of our Mo family." Wen Nuan felt a little embarrassed by his burning gaze. She lowered her head shyly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Actually, I..." Wen Nuan was about to say something when Butler Liu hurried over and said, "Sir, Detective Lin is here."

Detective Lin walked into the study with a serious expression and handed a document to Mo Han.

"Mr. Mo, this is the result of my recent investigation. There's a rare business opportunity. The European SG Group is interested in seeking a partner to expand into the Asian market. However, the president of the SG Group is cautious and places great emphasis on the stability and unity of his partners." He paused, his gaze turning to Wen Nuan. "Although this leak has apparently been resolved, the SG Group seems to have heard something. They're worried that there are hidden dangers within the Mo family that could affect cooperation."

Mo Han flipped through the documents with a frown on his face.

Wen Nuan also realized the seriousness of the problem. This business opportunity was vital to the Mo family. If missed, it would be a huge loss.

Just as they were discussing countermeasures, Butler Liu hurried in with a report: "Sir, this is bad! There are rumors outside that there is internal strife in our Mo family. They say..." Butler Liu hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "They say that Madam, you are just a decoration, and the Mo family is not as united as it seems."

Mo Han's face darkened, and he instantly understood what was going on.

Those old rivals will indeed not miss any opportunity to attack the Mo family.

They spread rumors and created panic in order to make SG Group lose confidence in the Mo family.

"It seems that we have to take the initiative." A hint of determination flashed in Wen Nuan's eyes.

She knew that now was not the time to retreat and she had to stabilize the situation as soon as possible in order to seize this opportunity.

Uncle Mo walked in with a cane and a serious expression.

"I just received calls from some old friends," he said in a deep voice, "They all mentioned the rumors outside..." He paused, his eyes swept over Mo Han and Wen Nuan, and said word by word, "I want to see who dares to challenge him!" Uncle Mo paused heavily with his crutch, and an aura of having been in a superior position for a long time emerged spontaneously.

"Rumors stop at the wise! My Mo family has stood for a hundred years, how can it be shaken by these rumors!" He immediately contacted several familiar business partners and personally clarified the rumors.

These partners are all old foxes in the business world and naturally understand the twists and turns involved.

Uncle Mo's personal appearance made them even more confident in the unity and stability of the Mo family.

As the news spread, the rumors were proven to be false, and the image of the Mo family became more positive, with even a slight upward trend.

The president of SG Group also received the news and his impression of the Mo family changed.

Detective Lin struck while the iron was hot and submitted the Mo family's recent positive initiatives and the development plan proposed by Wen Nuan to SG Group.

Surprisingly, Wen Nuan was not in a rush to seize this business opportunity.

Instead, she called together the core members of the Mo family and announced a week-long internal training to enhance the family members' knowledge reserves and management capabilities in emerging fields.

This decision surprised the Mo family members. After all, now was a critical moment to secure cooperation with the SG Group. Why should they spend time on training?

Faced with the puzzled gaze, Wen Nuan just smiled faintly: "A blacksmith must be strong himself. If our Mo family wants to develop in the long run, we can't just rely on external forces, but also improve our own competitiveness." Although everyone was puzzled, they still agreed to this arrangement out of trust in Wen Nuan.

On the first day of training, the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Family members who are accustomed to the intrigues of the business world have no interest in these boring theoretical knowledge.

Wen Nuan was not annoyed and patiently explained the development trends and future prospects of emerging industries.

On the third day, the atmosphere began to change subtly.

Some young family members began to ask questions and showed great interest in emerging fields.

Uncle Mo looked at these energetic young people and nodded with satisfaction.

However, on the fifth day, an unexpected situation occurred.

The expert who was responsible for explaining the development trends of emerging industries paused slightly awkwardly when he came to the field of artificial intelligence.

"Um...about this..." he stammered, "Actually, the knowledge reserves of Mo's Enterprise in this area..."

Wen Nuan keenly noticed the hesitation in the expert's words and frowned slightly. "If you have any questions, please speak up."

The expert took a deep breath and said slowly: "To be honest, Mo's enterprise's knowledge reserves in emerging fields, especially artificial intelligence, are almost blank..." As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into silence.

Mo Han's expression also became solemn. He looked at Wen Nuan and said in a deep voice, "It seems that we still have a long way to go..." A complicated light flashed in Wen Nuan's eyes. She nodded gently and said slowly, "Yes..." Wen Nuan took a deep breath, but there was no panic on her face.

She looked around with a firm gaze: "The gap is not scary. What is scary is that we don't fill it. Now that we have discovered the problem, we will solve it." She quickly adjusted the training plan, focusing on the popularization of knowledge and practical applications in the field of artificial intelligence.

She contacted top experts and scholars in the industry to provide one-on-one counseling to members of the Mo family.

Even she herself began to cram for relevant knowledge and studied until late at night every day.

Mo Han also joined the learning.

Although he was adept at business management, he knew little about emerging technology fields.

He humbled himself and humbly asked experts for advice, and even learned from young family members, without any airs of the young master of the Mo family.

After a week of training, the Mo family members had a preliminary understanding of the field of artificial intelligence. Although they could not be called experts yet, at least they were no longer completely ignorant.

Wen Nuan struck while the iron was hot and divided the family members into several groups, each of which was responsible for researching and analyzing an emerging industry and formulating corresponding investment plans.

The president of SG Group expressed his appreciation for the Mo family’s positive attitude and learning spirit, and the intention of cooperation became clearer.

Just when everything was going in the right direction, a new problem arose.

Detective Lin brought bad news: "Mr. Mo, the news of the SG Group cooperation seems to have leaked. Now, the prices of all resources related to the field of artificial intelligence in the market are skyrocketing..."

Mo Han's eyes glared, and his tone was icy: "It seems that someone doesn't want us to successfully secure this cooperation."

A cold smile curled up Wen Nuan's lips: "Interesting..." She picked up her phone and dialed a number: "Help me check who is aggressively acquiring AI-related resources recently..."

A lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "No big deal, leave it to me." After hanging up, Wen Nuan looked at Mo Han, a gleam in her eyes: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Since someone wants to play, then we'll play with them..."

At this moment, Butler Liu rushed in, looking panicked: "Sir, Madam, something happened..."
