From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 13 Trust Collapse: Contract Crisis Emerges

Mo Han hung up the phone, his face terribly gloomy.

Her warm heart sank as she had a bad feeling.

What was supposed to come finally came.

The executives who were fawning over her a few days ago seemed to have changed their faces today.

There was a strange atmosphere in the conference room. Everyone looked at her with scrutiny and suspicion, as if she were some kind of monster.

Especially Director Chen, his eyes looked like he wanted to eat her alive.

"Wen Nuan, I think your plan is a bit..." Director Chen adjusted his glasses and spoke slowly, his tone full of disdain. "How should I put it? It's too idealistic! Our company is not just playing house. We want tangible results, not castles in the air."

"Director Chen, my plan..." Wen Nuan tried to explain, but was interrupted mercilessly by Director Chen.

"Alright, alright, no need to explain. Everyone's time is precious." Director Chen waved his hand impatiently. "I think young people should keep their feet on the ground and not aim too high." He glanced around the conference room and said meaningfully, "Some things aren't yours, and they're not yours after all. You can't force them."

Other executives also echoed this, and one after another, they criticized Wen Nuan's plan harshly.

Wen Nuan felt like a monkey that had been stripped naked and thrown in the middle of a square, subject to public comment.

Depression, humiliation, anger, all kinds of emotions surged in her chest.

After the meeting, Wen Nuan walked out of the venue in a daze.

Assistant Wu caught up and handed her a USB drive. "Sister Wen Nuan, this is some information I collected. It might be useful to you."

Wen Nuan took the USB drive and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

She returned to her office and inserted the USB drive into her computer.

The information inside made her open her eyes wide suddenly...

"This..." Wen Nuan murmured to herself, her eyes gradually becoming firm, "The game has just begun."

At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Mo Han walked in, looking at her with a complicated expression, "Wu Nuan, let's talk." The atmosphere in Mo Han's office was as solemn as a piece of amber that was about to solidify.

Wen Nuan clutched the USB drive tightly, her knuckles turning white, and her heart was in turmoil.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the emotions surging in her heart.

Explanation?

how to explain?

That her marriage with Mo Han was just a show?

ridiculous!

Who would believe it?

No explanation?

Watching your hard work being trampled on and being ridiculed by those snobs?

She is not reconciled!

"Do you believe me?" Wen Nuan raised her head and looked directly at Mo Han, with a barely perceptible tremor in her tone.

Mo Han's eyes were deep, his lips were tightly pursed, and after a while he slowly spoke: "I believe you." These three short words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, hitting his warm heart and causing ripples.

At the same time, Lin Xiao was sitting in her luxury car, and her exquisite makeup could not hide her anger at the moment.

"What's going on? Mo Han didn't draw a clear line between himself and that woman?!" She slammed the steering wheel hard, her sharp nails almost digging into her flesh.

"It seems that I underestimated that woman's methods!" Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "The fun has just begun!"

Mo Han walked to Wen Nuan and gently held her hand. The warmth from his palm passed to her, gradually warming her originally cold heart.

"I know your situation is difficult, but I will stand by you." His voice was low and firm, with a reassuring power.

Wen Nuan held Mo Han's hand tightly with her backhand, feeling the warmth of his palm, with mixed feelings in her heart.

She longed for his support, but was also afraid that this support would bring her more trouble.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and forced herself to calm down.

"Thank you, Mo Han."

"No need to thank me." Mo Han looked at her, a subtle tenderness flashing in his eyes. "There's no need to be so polite between us."

Wen Nuan's heart was shocked, and Mo Han's words made her a little dazed.

Between us?

These four words seemed to carry some special meaning, which made it difficult for her to understand for a moment.

She lowered her head, avoiding Mo Han's gaze and concealing her inner panic.

"Regarding your plan..." Mo Han paused, as if considering his words, "I think it can be improved further."

Wen Nuan suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Complete?

Doesn’t Mo Han believe her either?

Did he also think her plan was a castle in the air?

"I know what you're thinking." Mo Han seemed to see through her thoughts. "But it's not that I don't trust you, it's just..." He paused, his eyes falling on the USB flash drive in Wen Nuan's hand. "Perhaps, we can change our thinking."

Wen Nuan followed his gaze to the USB flash drive in his hand, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her mind.

Change your thinking?

Is it...

"I've read some of the information Assistant Wu gave you." Mo Han's voice sounded again, a hint of mystery in it. "I think it might be able to help you."

Wen Nuan held the USB drive tightly, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

The game has just begun.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Mo Han with burning eyes, "Okay, I understand."

"Well..." Mo Han's lips curled up into a meaningful smile, "Let's get started." Wen Nuan took the USB flash drive given by Assistant Wu, returned to her office, and locked the door.

Take a deep breath and insert the USB drive into the computer.

There is only one file in the folder, named "Alternative Plan B".

A warm heart skipped a beat. Alternative plan B?

Mo Han had already anticipated that her plan would be rejected?

When she opened the file, the contents inside made Wen Nuan's eyes light up.

This is not a backup plan B, it's the trump card!

This document analyzes in detail the concerns of opponents such as Director Chen, and proposes targeted solutions, even anticipating the tricky questions they might raise.

Wen Nuan felt as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened, and her whole body was filled with strength.

The previous grievances, anger, and unwillingness all turned into a burning fighting spirit.

"Oh, you want to laugh at me?" Wen Nuan curled her lips into a sneer, "I'm not someone you can easily mess with!" She quickly incorporated the contents of "Backup Plan B" into her own plan and carried out deeper optimization.

The sound of keyboard tapping echoed in the silent office like dense drumbeats, as if announcing some impending storm.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wen Nuan was completely immersed in her work, forgetting time, forgetting worries, and even forgetting Mo Han's existence.

Until a knock on the door broke the silence.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in." Wen Nuan responded without raising her head.

The door opened and Mo Han walked in, holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand.

Seeing Wen Nuan concentrating on her work, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"You've worked hard." Mo Han placed the coffee on the warm table. "Take a break."

Wen Nuan then realized that she had been working for several hours. She stretched and rubbed her sore neck.

She picked up the coffee and took a sip. The rich aroma spread in her mouth, dispelling her fatigue and making her mood cheerful.

"Thank you." Wen Nuan looked at Mo Han with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

Mo Han walked behind her and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, "How do you feel?"

Wen Nuan felt the warmth of his palm, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.

She turned her head and looked at Mo Han with a firm look in her eyes: "I think we can win."

Mo Han's smile deepened, and a meaningful light flashed in his eyes: "Then, let's wait and see." He leaned over and whispered in Wen Nuan's ear: "However, we should also settle some accounts..." Wen Nuan's revised plan was perfect. She cleverly incorporated the content of the "backup plan" into it, which not only resolved the concerns of Director Chen and others, but also proposed a more forward-looking market strategy.

At the meeting, she spoke eloquently, with clear logic and detailed data, which impressed the directors who were originally skeptical of her.

Director Chen tried to make things difficult for Wen Nuan several times, but was easily resolved by her. In the end, he could only shut up in disappointment.

After the meeting, Assistant Wu gave Wen Nuan a thumbs-up: "Sister Wen, that's amazing! You've truly returned as the king!"

Wen Nuan smiled and said, "This has just begun." She knew that Lin Xiao would not give up.

Sure enough, not long after, rumors spread within the company that Wen Nuan had relied on "special means" to get to the top and that the plan was ghostwritten by Mo Han.

This move was even more clumsy than a primary school student complaining, and Wen Nuan was too lazy to pay attention.

However, Lin Xiao came prepared this time.

She got a photo from somewhere. In the photo, Wen Nuan and Mo Han were behaving intimately, and it did look ambiguous.

This photo was anonymously posted to the company's internal group, immediately causing an uproar.

"I was saying it, how could an airborne employee be so powerful?"

"He must have clung to Mr. Mo's influence!"

"Young girls nowadays will do anything to get ahead!"

All kinds of ugly rumors came like a tide, drowning the warmth.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, trying hard to control the anger in her heart.

When Mo Han saw the message in the group, his face instantly darkened.

He picked up his phone and called Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, you'd better stop!"

"What? Are you feeling sorry for your lover?" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with sarcasm. "Mo Han, I've seen how you play with people's feelings before. Do you think Wen Nuan will be an exception?"

Mo Han sneered: "You are wrong, she is different." After that, he hung up the phone.

He walked into the warm office and saw her pale face and dull eyes, and felt distressed.

He walked up to her and gently held her in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was low and powerful, like a ray of warm sunshine, dispelling the haze in Wen Nuan's heart.

Wen Nuan leaned in his arms, feeling the warmth from his body, and her heart gradually calmed down.

She raised her head and looked at Mo Han with a firm look in her eyes: "I'm not afraid."

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere." Mo Han took Wen Nuan's hand and left the company.

The car sped all the way and finally stopped in front of a luxurious villa.

Wen Nuan looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of her, a little confused: "This is..."

Mo Han didn't answer, but just took her hand and walked into the villa.

"You stay here tonight."

Wen Nuan looked at the luxurious villa and the deep night outside the window, and suddenly a feeling of unease arose in her heart...

"Mo Han..."
