From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 151: Dilemma Arrives Again: A New Path Full of Thorns

Wen Nuan held the heavy letter of appointment in her hand, and a feeling of powerlessness came over her.

Before she could recover from the exhaustion of catching the corporate spy, new challenges came like waves.

The secretary on the other end of the phone sounded extremely anxious: "Ms. Wen Nuan, several important partners... they seem to still be resentful about the previous leak and are considering ending their cooperation with us..."

Wen Nuan felt her temples throbbing, as if someone was beating a drum in her head.

The storm that had finally calmed down had unexpectedly caused new ripples.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "I understand, I will deal with it as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Nuan rubbed her eyebrows and her face turned pale.

Although the corporate espionage incident was resolved, the subsequent impact was far more serious than she had imagined.

The concerns of those partners are not without reason. After all, once business secrets are leaked, the losses caused are incalculable.

"What's wrong? You look so bad?" Mo Han pushed the door open and saw Wen Nuan looking tired, a hint of worry appeared between his brows.

He walked to Wen Nuan and gently held her in his arms: "The matter has been resolved, you should have a good rest."

"Rest?" Wen Nuan gave a wry smile and broke free from Mo Han's embrace. "The whole company is in chaos right now. How can I rest?" She handed the appointment letter to Mo Han. "Look, a new challenge has arrived."

Mo Han took the appointment letter, glanced through it quickly, and then looked at Wen Nuan with complicated eyes: "Chief Security Advisor? They really are..."

"I know what you want to say," Wen Nuan interrupted him, "but now is not the time to complain. I must resolve the crisis of trust with my partners as soon as possible."

"You haven't had a good rest for several days," Mo Han said with a hint of heartache, "I can handle this matter..."

"No, I have to handle this myself," Wen Nuan said firmly. "Only I can convince them that the Mo family enterprise is capable of protecting their interests." She picked up her coat and walked out the door. "I'm going out for a while."

"Wait," Mo Han grabbed her wrist, "Where are you going so late?"

"Go see Detective Zhao," Wen Nuan turned back, a determined look in her eyes, "I need his help with something."

Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan's departing figure, his brows furrowed, a bad premonition welling up in his heart...

He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, help me check..."

It was late at night, and Wen Nuan drove to a dilapidated two-story building on the outskirts of the city.

The mottled walls and rusty iron gates all reveal the desolation of this place.

This is the residence of private detective Zhao and also Wen Nuan’s last stop to seek help.

When I pushed open the creaking iron door, a musty smell hit me in the face.

Wen Nuan walked through the weed-covered yard and came to the only lighted room on the second floor.

I knocked on the door and a hoarse voice came from inside: "Come in."

Detective Zhao was still the same, with messy hair, unshaven beard, and a wrinkled shirt.

He was buried in a pile of documents when he heard the door open. Without even looking up, he asked, "What's up?"

"I need you to help me investigate some things..." Wen Nuan went straight to the point and briefly told Detective Zhao the current situation and her suspicions.

After listening to this, Detective Zhao raised his head and looked at Wen Nuan with his shrewd eyes. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting... It seems that this trouble is not small."

At the same time, Mo Han had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

He knew that Wen Nuan would be busy until late again tonight, so he specially prepared her favorite dishes.

Looking at the steaming food on the table, Mo Han's eyes were filled with tenderness.

When Wen Nuan dragged her tired body back home, she saw such a warm picture.

Mo Han's gentle gaze instantly relaxed her tense nerves.

"Thank you for your hard work." Mo Han stood up, walked to Wen Nuan, and gently held her in his arms.

Wen Nuan buried her head in Mo Han's chest, feeling the warmth coming from him, and an unprecedented sense of security surged in her heart.

Dinner was held in a warm atmosphere.

Mo Han considerately picked up some food for Wen Nuan, his eyes full of love.

Wen Nuan also felt Mo Han's tenderness and a happy smile appeared on her face.

After dinner, Wen Nuan leaned on the sofa, enjoying the rare relaxing time.

Mo Han sat next to her and gently massaged her shoulders.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to visit those partners." Wen Nuan suddenly said.

"I'll go with you." Mo Han said without hesitation.

Wen Nuan smiled, held Mo Han's hand, and said, "Okay."

The next day, Wen Nuan and Mo Han set out together and began their visiting trip.

Their first stop was their largest partner, Huasheng Group.

After some detailed explanation and communication, the head of Huasheng Group was moved by Wen's sincerity and ability, and expressed his willingness to continue cooperation on the spot.

This was a good start, but Wen Nuan knew that it was just the beginning.

After walking out of the Huasheng Group building, Wen Nuan took a deep breath and turned to look at Mo Han: "Next..."

Mo Han held Wen Nuan's hand tightly, his eyes firm: "Let's face it together." Suddenly, Mo Han's phone rang. He picked up the call, his face instantly becoming solemn, "What did you say?!"

Wen Nuan and Mo Han visited several other partners without stopping, but the results were not satisfactory.

Despite Wen Nuan's sincere explanation of the Mo family's position and remedial measures, these partners remained skeptical and ambiguous, only saying they would "consider it again."

Wen Nuan realized that explanations and apologies alone could no longer save the situation. She needed stronger actions to prove the Mo family's strength and sincerity.

After returning home, Wen Nuan immediately contacted Detective Zhao.

On the other end of the phone, Detective Zhao's voice was as hoarse as ever: "How is it? Have you hit a wall?" Wen Nuan did not deny it and said directly: "I need you to help me investigate these companies. I want to know everything about them, especially their current difficulties and potential needs." Detective Zhao chuckled: "I knew you would come to me. I have already started investigating. Some things are more exciting than you can imagine..."

In the next few days, Wen Nuan almost locked herself in the study, carefully studying the information provided by Detective Zhao.

These materials list in detail the operating conditions, financial statements, future plans of each partner, and even the personal hobbies of the company's senior executives.

Warmth was like a dry sponge, madly absorbing this information, trying to find a breakthrough.

Mo Han silently supported Wen Nuan, bringing her tea and water and handling some trivial matters so that she could devote herself to her work.

Among the mountains of information, Wen Nuan finally found some clues.

Although several hesitant partners appear calm on the surface, they are actually facing their own difficulties.

Some have tight funding chains, some projects are stagnant, and some are facing strong competitors.

These crises hidden beneath the surface are precisely opportunities for warmth.

After several days of careful consideration, Wen Nuan developed a targeted cooperation plan.

She no longer passively explained and apologized, but proactively proposed mutually beneficial cooperation plans to help these partners solve their urgent needs.

When Wen Nuan handed the plan to Detective Zhao, even the experienced Detective Zhao couldn't help but exclaim, "Brilliant, truly brilliant! This isn't just a cooperation plan; it's a shot in the arm!"

Everything is ready, and Wen Nuan sets out on a journey to visit partners again.

This time, what she holds in her hands is not only a cooperation plan, but also the confidence to turn the tide.

However, just as Wen Nuan was about to leave, Mo Han suddenly received a call. A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Mo, it's bad! Something happened..."

Wen Nuan and Mo Han set out on their journey again. This time, they had a clear goal and took firm steps.

Their first stop was Hongyuan Group.

The chairman of Hongyuan Group is a shrewd and capable woman. She has always been brooding over the previous leak of information by the Mo family.

However, when Wen Nuan put the new cooperation plan in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure.

This proposal accurately addresses the current predicament of Hongyuan Group and puts forward extremely attractive cooperation conditions.

After careful consideration, the female chairman finally nodded in agreement and gave Wen Nuan an appreciative look: "Young man, you have courage!"

With the good news coming in frequently, several subsequent partners were also moved by the warm proposal and expressed their willingness to continue cooperation.

The crisis of the Mo family business seems to be gradually dissipating, and there is a glimmer of hope.

However, just when everything seemed to be getting better, a sudden phone call broke this brief peace.

The call was from Detective Zhao, and his tone was unusually serious: "Wen Nuan, you'd better be prepared. I found something... I'm afraid it's more complicated than you imagined."

My warm heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came over me.

She suppressed her uneasiness and asked as calmly as possible, "What's wrong?"

Detective Zhao paused and said slowly, "Do you remember that corporate spy from before? I found out there's someone behind him..."

Wen Nuan took a deep breath. She had always suspected that there was someone behind the industrial espionage, but she had never expected the truth to be so complicated.

She clenched her fists, a fierce look flashing in her eyes: "Who is it?"

Detective Zhao did not answer directly, but said meaningfully: "You are very familiar with this person..."

Wen Nuan's mind raced. Who among the people she knew would want to frame the Mo family? Could it be...

Just as Wen Nuan was pondering, she and Mo Han arrived at the last and most important partner - Tiancheng Group.

The chairman of Tiancheng Group is a shrewd businessman who has always been on the sidelines regarding cooperation with the Mo family.

Wen Nuan was well aware of the importance of this cooperation. She handed the carefully prepared plan to the chairman of Tiancheng Group and elaborated on the advantages and prospects of the cooperation in detail.

The chairman listened attentively, with no expression on his face.

Finally, after a long silence, the chairman spoke: "Mrs. Mo, your proposal is indeed very attractive, but..." He paused, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "I have one condition."

Wen Nuan's heart rose to her throat, and she had a premonition that this condition might not be simple.

"What are the conditions?" Wen Nuan asked.

The chairman smiled slightly and said slowly: "I want you..." He leaned closer to Wen Nuan and whispered a word.

Wen Nuan's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at the chairman in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't say a word...

Mo Han clenched the warm hand, his knuckles turning white, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said coldly: "What do you mean?"
