From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 14 Jedi Counterattack: Dawn in Crisis

Wen Nuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The night was as dark as ink, and the lights outside the villa were as bright as broken diamonds scattered on the ground.

The luxurious scene could not dispel the gloom in her heart at all. Instead, it made her look like Cinderella who had accidentally entered the castle and could be beaten back to her original form at any time.

Lin Xiao's dirty trick was like a time bomb, and she didn't know when it would explode and blow her to pieces.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingertips almost dug into her flesh.

No, she can't sit still and wait for death!

She wants to fight back!

She took out her cell phone, looked up a number, hesitated for a moment, and dialed it.

"Hello, it's me, Wen Nuan... I want to ask you for a favor." A deep male voice came from the other end of the line, with a hint of doubt: "Wen Nuan? Long time no see, what's going on?" Wen Nuan took a deep breath and briefly recounted the whole story, with a hint of pleading in her tone: "I know this request is a bit abrupt, but only you can help me now." There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then a chuckle came from the other end: "Interesting, it seems someone is about to be in trouble. No problem, I'll help you."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Nuan's tense nerves relaxed a little.

This person was a senior she met in college. He is now a well-known lawyer in the industry, named Lawyer Zhou.

He is an upright person with outstanding abilities, and is the only lifeline that Wen Nuan can grasp now.

The next morning, Wen Nuan received a call from Lawyer Zhou: "I have studied your plan carefully. From a legal point of view, it is completely feasible. Lin Xiao's accusation is untenable. I can help you collect evidence and prepare for a counterattack." When Wen Nuan heard this, it was as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

With the support of Lawyer Zhou, Wen Nuan became more confident and began to actively collect evidence, preparing to face Lin Xiao and those directors who were prejudiced against her.

She knew it would be a tough battle, but she would never back down.

That day, Wen Nuan knocked on the door of Director Chen's office with the sorted documents.

"Director Chen, I want to talk to you about my plan..." Before she could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by Director Chen: "What else is there to talk about? Do you think you can turn things around? Don't waste your energy!" Wen Nuan took a deep breath, her eyes firm: "Director Chen, please give me five minutes to read this document before making a conclusion." Director Chen glanced at the document in Wen Nuan's hand with disdain and sneered: "Five minutes? Do you think five minutes can change anything?" Wen Nuan ignored his sarcasm, but put the document on his desk, her tone calm but with unquestionable strength: "Five minutes is enough for you to see the truth." After that, she pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Director Chen, looking straight at him, with a confident arc at the corner of her mouth.

The air was filled with tension. Director Chen looked at the seemingly weak yet resolute girl before him, and a strange feeling of unease suddenly rose in his heart...

"you……"

Director Chen picked up the document doubtfully and scanned it quickly.

At first he was full of disdain, but as he read deeper, his brows gradually furrowed and his expression became more and more solemn.

Five minutes later, he raised his head and looked at Wen Nuan with complicated eyes: "This information... is it true?" Wen Nuan smiled slightly and said firmly: "Of course it is true, I guarantee it with my personality." Director Chen was silent for a moment, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, as if weighing something.

At the same time, Lin Xiao was not idle either. She spread rumors that Wen Nuan "used backdoors", "lacked ability", and "relied on men to get to the top", trying to completely ruin Wen Nuan's reputation.

After learning about this, Wen Nuan did not choose to swallow her anger. Instead, she directly released a statement on the company's internal website, refuting Lin Xiao's accusations one by one and attaching relevant evidence.

This move made the employees who were originally on the sidelines start to re-examine the matter, and also made some neutral senior executives take a new look at Wen Nuan's courage and ability.

Director Chen felt even more uneasy when he saw the overwhelming support and warmth in the online comments.

He didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl had such a powerful counterattack ability.

He originally thought he could easily get rid of her, but now it seems that things are far more complicated than he imagined.

He stood up irritably and paced back and forth in the office, muttering to himself, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

The warm counterattack initially showed results, but it also provoked a greater backlash from Director Chen.

He began to move around within the company, winning over other directors in an attempt to isolate Wen Nuan.

A bigger storm is brewing, and Wen Nuan knows that the real battle has just begun.

In the evening, Wen Nuan dragged her tired body back to the villa. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a familiar figure standing in the living room.

Mo Han turned around, looked at her slightly pale face, walked forward with heartache, and gently held her in his arms.

"Take a rest if you're tired." His low voice sounded in Wen Nuan's ears, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

She leaned against his chest, feeling the warmth coming from him, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Mo Han..." She called his name softly.

"Yes, I'm here." Mo Han tightened his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head. His tone was gentle but with a hint of firmness, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." Wen Nuan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the tranquility and peace of mind at this moment.

However, this is just the calm before the storm...

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence, "Mr. Mo, something happened..." The knock on the door was like a thunderclap, shattering the brief tranquility in the villa.

Lawyer Zhou stood at the door in a panic, beads of sweat on his forehead. When he saw Mo Han, he seemed to have grasped a lifeline and spoke in a hurried tone, "Mr. Mo, Director Chen and several other directors have proposed to hold an emergency board meeting. They want... to remove Wen Nuan from her position as project manager!"

Wen Nuan suddenly raised her head from Mo Han's arms, and her face turned pale in an instant.

She knew that Director Chen would not give up, but she did not expect him to act so quickly and aggressively.

Mo Han's eyes darkened, and a cold aura emanated from him. He gently patted Wen Nuan's shoulder, his tone calm and firm, "Don't worry, I'll handle it." He turned and instructed Lawyer Zhou, "Notify the public relations department and immediately activate the crisis response plan to control the direction of public opinion. Also, help me find out who Director Chen has been in frequent contact with recently."

"Understood!" Lawyer Zhou took the order and left in a hurry.

Mo Han embraced Wen Nuan again and whispered in her ear: "Believe me, everything will be fine." His hug seemed to have magic, which gradually calmed Wen Nuan's originally panicked heart.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She knew that now was not the time to panic. She had to find evidence that Lin Xiao was discrediting her as soon as possible in order to completely reverse the situation.

She turned on her computer and began to carefully comb through Lin Xiao's social media accounts and news reports related to her.

Time passed minute by minute, warm eyes stared at the screen, fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard.

Suddenly, an inconspicuous piece of news caught her attention. The news reported the recent business expansion of a small public relations company and mentioned a case that had cooperated with Lin Xiao.

Wen Nuan had an idea and immediately contacted the public relations company and obtained Lin Xiao's cooperation record anonymously.

Among these records, she discovered a huge transfer of money from unknown sources and frequent contacts with a mysterious person.

"Finally found it!" Wen Nuan whispered, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.

She kept the evidence and prepared to make it public at the right time.

However, at this moment, Mo Han's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face instantly became solemn.

He answered the phone and said in a low voice: "Hello?"

A strange voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Mo, our boss wants to talk to you about warmth..."

Mo Han gripped his phone tightly, his eyes sharp as a knife. "Who is your boss?"

"You don't need to know this. You just need to know that we have something that you're very interested in..."

The voice on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly with a hint of joking.

Wen Nuan clenched the evidence in her hand, her heart beating like a drum.

This is just a preliminary clue, like grabbing a thin thread in the fog, and it is not enough to completely bring down Lin Xiao, let alone the dark hand hidden behind it.

She needed more, more solid evidence to catch them all in one fell swoop!

At the same time, after Mo Han hung up the mysterious phone call, his face was as gloomy as the sea before a storm.

"Investigate! Find out who these people are from!" He growled into the phone, his tone so cold that it seemed to freeze the air.

Dare to threaten him?

I'm so tired of living!

At the emergency board meeting, Director Chen was aggressive, like a victorious rooster, arrogantly accusing Wen Nuan's plan of being full of loopholes, and even hinted that she was incompetent and unqualified to be the project leader.

Several other directors echoed this, and the meeting room was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Director Chen, you said my plan is full of loopholes. Could you please tell me what specific aspects you are referring to?" Her tone was calm, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife. She looked directly at Director Chen, not afraid of his momentum at all.

Director Chen felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him. His eyes flickered and he said vaguely: "In short, your plan is too risky and not in the interests of the company." "Risk? Have you done a specific risk assessment? Where is the data to support it?" Wen Nuan pressed on step by step, not giving him any chance to breathe.

Director Chen was speechless and his face flushed. After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "I... I'm experienced and can tell at a glance that there's something wrong with your plan!" Wen Nuan sneered, "Experience? Is it more convincing than data and facts? Director Chen, this is not the attitude of a qualified businessman."

Mo Han sat aside, observing all this quietly.

There was a barely perceptible smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of admiration.

His little warmth did not disappoint him.

Just then, Wen Nuan's phone vibrated. She glanced at the screen and her expression changed slightly.

A text message from an unfamiliar number: "I want to save your project. See you at 8pm, Regent Hotel, Room 1208."

Wen Nuan gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She looked up at Mo Han, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"I'm going to go out for a while." After saying that, she turned and left the meeting room, leaving behind only a determined back.

Mo Han looked in the direction she left, his eyes deep, wondering what he was thinking.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number. His tone was icy: "Regent Hotel, room 1208, keep a close eye on me. Any suspicious individuals will be killed without mercy."

As night falls, the lights are on.

In room 1208 of the Regent Hotel, Wen Nuan pushed the door open and walked in.

A man stood in front of the window with his back to her. He had a slender figure and exuded a dangerous aura.

"You are...?" Wen Nuan asked tentatively.

The man slowly turned around, revealing a face that she was not expecting.

"Long time no see, Wen Nuan." A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Or should I call you...sister?"
