From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 142 Trapped by Resources: The Road to a Breakthrough is Yet to Come

Secretary Li's whisper was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the remaining joy in Wen Nuan's heart. She forced herself to remain calm and smiled at Mo Han, "I have something to take care of, so I'll excuse you for a moment." Turning around, she followed Secretary Li to a secluded office.

"What did supplier Sun say?" Wen Nuan went straight to the point, with a barely perceptible hint of anxiety in her tone.

"They want to raise the supply price, saying that the raw materials have increased in price..." Secretary Li reported carefully and handed a new quotation to Wen Nuan.

Wen Nuan looked at the numbers on the report with a frown on her face.

She understood the reason for the rise in raw material prices, but this increase was clearly higher than the market average.

The Mo family is now in a critical period of expansion, and resources are already tight. If suppliers take advantage of the situation, it will undoubtedly make the situation worse.

He rubbed his aching temples and took a deep breath. Now was not the time to panic.

She had to find a solution as quickly as possible to ensure resource supply while controlling costs.

"I know, you go down first."

Wen Nuan sat alone in the office, carefully studying the quotation in her hand, various response strategies running rapidly in her mind.

Reduce expenses in other areas?

Looking for new suppliers?

Each option has its pros and cons, making it difficult for her to make a decision.

At this time, she thought of the resource integration plan she had drawn up a few days ago.

If successfully implemented, it will not only improve resource utilization but also reduce production costs, which can offset the impact of price increases from suppliers.

Thinking of this, Wen Nuan immediately stood up and went to Technical Director Wang's office.

"Director Wang, what are your thoughts on the resource integration plan?" Wen Nuan went straight to the point, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

Technical Director Wang pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with a serious expression, "Young Madam, I still stick to my previous point of view. This plan will affect our research and development progress, and the gains will not outweigh the losses." His tone was a little stubborn, and it was obvious that he was not optimistic about the new plan.

Wen Nuan patiently explained, "Director Wang, I understand your concerns, but you're also aware of our current resource situation. We must find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure..."

The two of them argued back and forth, each arguing with his own opinion, and the atmosphere in the office gradually became solemn.

Wen Nuan tried to reason with him and appealed to his emotions, but she still couldn't convince Technical Director Wang.

As time passes, my warm heart becomes heavier and heavier.

Just when she was about to give up, the office door was suddenly pushed open and Mo Han's figure appeared at the door.

He walked straight to Wen Nuan, gently held her hand, and said in a gentle but unquestionable firm tone: "I'll take care of it."

Mo Han's appearance instantly reversed the stalemate.

He did not express his opinion immediately, but patted the back of her warm hand soothingly and gave her an affirmative look.

Then, he turned to Technical Director Wang. His tone was no longer gentle, but instead carried a hint of authority from a superior: "Director Wang, the resource integration plan is imperative. I hope you can prioritize the overall situation." He paused, his eyes sharp as a knife. "I've already informed Supplier Sun."

Technical Director Wang's expression changed, and he obviously understood what Mo Han meant.

Although he was stubborn, he was not ignorant of the current situation. He was very clear about the power of the Mo family.

Thinking of what might happen to supplier Sun, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

In the end, he compromised, "Mr. Mo, I understand. I will cooperate with the implementation of the resource integration plan."

Mo Han nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Wen Nuan, the sharpness in his eyes instantly turned into tenderness, "Thank you for your hard work." He gently hugged Wen Nuan and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Wen Nuan leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

The unique cool aura of Mo Han made her feel at ease. She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, he would stand by her and protect her from the wind and rain.

In the office, Technical Director Wang was silently tidying up the documents on the table with a complicated look in his eyes.

Mo Han's dominance made him feel a little afraid, but it also made him realize that this young leader of the Mo family was far more shrewd and decisive than he had imagined.

He took a deep breath, stood up and walked to Wen Nuan, "Young Madam..."

"Young Madam, I apologize for my previous stubbornness." Technical Director Wang's tone became much more sincere. "I have thought carefully about the resource integration plan, and it is indeed feasible." Wen Nuan smiled slightly. She did not get carried away by his change of heart, but calmly opened the document she brought. "Director Wang, this is a plan I made for the R&D prospects after the resource integration. You can take a look." In the document, Wen Nuan analyzed in detail the resource allocation plan after the integration, as well as the expected impact on the R&D process, and listed several successful cases.

Technical Director Wang looked through the documents carefully, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

He had to admit that Wen Nuan's plan was well-thought-out, with detailed data and clear logic, which made his originally firm opposition attitude begin to waver.

Wen Nuan struck while the iron was hot and continued to explain, "Director Wang, I know you're worried about the impact on the R&D process, but in fact, the integrated resource allocation is more reasonable and efficient, which can actually improve R&D efficiency. Moreover, I have already communicated with the marketing and production departments, and they have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the resource integration plan." Hearing the support of other departments, Technical Director Wang's concerns were reduced a little.

He raised his head, looked into the warm and confident eyes, and secretly admired them in his heart.

This young lady not only has foresight but also courage, and has achieved such progress in a short period of time.

In the next few days, Wen Nuan ran around between various departments, coordinating resources and communicating plans.

Her efforts have paid off, as more and more departments have expressed support for the resource integration plan, which has given her confidence in future development.

Back in the office, Wen Nuan leaned back in his chair tiredly and rubbed his aching temples.

At this time, the cell phone rang. It was Mo Han calling.

"Wife, shall we have dinner together tonight?" Mo Han's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, instantly dispelling the warm fatigue.

"Okay." Wen Nuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Nuan stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling city night view outside the window, her heart full of hope.

She knows that the road ahead is long and full of challenges, but she is not afraid.

Because she knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she had Mo Han and herself, and they would work together to overcome all obstacles and create their own future.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. "Young Madam..." Secretary Li's voice sounded outside the door, her tone slightly hurried, "Supplier Sun...he's here again..."

Secretary Li's face looked a little ugly, and Supplier Sun was blocking the office door, looking like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and rubbed her brows. It seemed that Supplier Sun was determined to fight to the death.

She stood up and said calmly, "Let him in."

Supplier Sun swaggered into the office with a fake smile on his face: "Young Madam, I came here this time to..."

"Boss Sun," Wen Nuan interrupted him, her tone cold, "We've already made it clear before. Your offer is unreasonable and we can't accept it."

Supplier Sun's face froze, and he couldn't maintain his smile. "Young Madam, you're really not giving me face. The price of raw materials has skyrocketed, and I have no choice..."

"Raw material prices are skyrocketing?" Wen Nuan sneered, pulling out a document from a drawer and throwing it in front of Supplier Sun. "This is the market report I just got. Boss Sun, take a look and see who's lying."

Supplier Sun's face turned pale instantly. He didn't expect Wen Nuan to have such detailed information.

He hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.

"Boss Sun, business requires integrity. If you ask for exorbitant prices like this, who would dare to work with you in the future?" Wen Nuan said in a sharp tone, her eyes like knives. "I'll give you one last chance. Supply us at the market price. Otherwise, we'll have to find another partner."

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Supplier Sun's forehead, and he knew that Wen Nuan was no joke.

He couldn't afford to offend the Mo family's strength. If he really lost the Mo family as a big customer, his company might not last long.

"I... I accept the market price." Supplier Sun gritted his teeth and finally chose to compromise.

After supplier Sun left in disgrace, technical director Wang came to the warm office again.

This time, his attitude took a 180-degree turn. He not only expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with the resource integration plan, but also put forward some constructive suggestions.

"Young Madam, I've carefully studied your proposal and found it to have many advantages. I was shortsighted before." Technical Director Wang spoke sincerely, his eyes brimming with admiration. "I'm willing to do my best to assist you in integrating your resources."

Wen Nuan nodded with relief. Technical Director Wang's transformation gave her hope.

With the support of the technical team, the implementation of the resource integration plan will be smoother.

However, just when Wen Nuan thought everything was moving in a good direction, a new problem arose.

The technical team encountered a bottleneck during the R&D process and was unable to break through. The team members' morale began to decline...

Late at night, the warm office is still brightly lit.

She stared at the dense data on the computer screen with a frown.

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence in the office.

"Come in."

Secretary Li pushed the door open and walked in, his face solemn: "Young Madam, something went wrong..." He handed a report to Wen Nuan, his voice trembling, "The experiment... the experiment failed..."

Wen Nuan took the report, glanced through it quickly, and her face turned pale instantly.

"How could this happen..." She muttered to herself, and the report in her hand fell to the ground. "Could it be... are we really at the end of our rope..."

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Wen Nuan picked up the phone and saw the name displayed on the screen, her heart tightened.

"Hey……"

"Wen Nuan," Mo Han's low voice came from the other end of the phone, "I just got the news that someone is behind this..."
