From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 152: The courage to break the deadlock: forging ahead

The chairman leaned closer to Wen Nuan and whispered the word: "Stay with me."

Wen Nuan was struck by lightning and her face turned pale in an instant.

She looked at the cunning businessman in front of her in disbelief, and a chill ran from her feet to her head.

Accompany him?

She knew exactly what this meant.

In order to cooperate, you have to sacrifice your dignity and sell your body?

The warm lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out.

She felt like she had fallen into an ice hole and was freezing cold all over.

Mo Han's face was terribly gloomy.

He clenched his warm hands, his knuckles turning white, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged as if they were about to explode in the next second.

He stared coldly at the chairman, his eyes flashing with a terrifying cold light, and his tone was like ice chips: "What do you mean?"

The chairman, however, showed no fear at all. Instead, he smiled contemptuously: "Mr. Mo, isn't my meaning clear enough? If you want to cooperate, you have to pay a price. Mrs. Mo is young and beautiful. I believe she knows how to please men, right?"

"You!" Mo Han was furious. He stood up suddenly and protected Wen Nuan behind him.

Wen Nuan grabbed Mo Han's sleeve and shook her head gently.

She knew that if Mo Han got angry now, there would be no chance of cooperation.

She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, suppressing the humiliation and anger in her heart, and slowly said, "Chairman, I think you misunderstood. Our Mo family has always valued business reputation, and cooperation must be based on fairness and justice. If this is the condition you put forward, then I think there is no need for cooperation between us."

Upon hearing this, the chairman's face darkened. "Mrs. Mo, you have to think carefully. This is a great opportunity for your Mo family to turn things around. If you miss it, you'll never get it again."

The warm heart is extremely tangled.

She knew that this cooperation was vital to the Mo family. If they lost this opportunity, the Mo family would probably never recover.

However, she really couldn't sell herself out for the sake of cooperation.

Mo Han pulled Wen Nuan to his side and said firmly, "Wen Nuan, let's go! We don't want this kind of dirty deal!"

"Mo Han..." Wen Nuan looked at Mo Han, her eyes full of struggle.

She knew that Mo Han was doing this for her own good, but she really didn't want to give up like that.

"Believe me, we can definitely find another way." Mo Han held the warm hand tightly, giving her strength.

Wen Nuan looked at Mo Han's determined eyes and felt shaken.

She knew that Mo Han was her strongest supporter and he would stand by her no matter what happened.

"Chairman, I think between us..." Wen Nuan was about to refuse but was interrupted by the chairman.

"Wait!" The chairman suddenly changed his tone. "I'll give you one last chance to think it over carefully. I'll be waiting for your reply tomorrow morning."

After saying that, the chairman stood up and left, leaving Wen Nuan and Mo Han in the room.

Wen Nuan leaned in Mo Han's arms, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

She raised her head, looked at Mo Han, and said softly: "Mo Han, we..."

A warm sleepless night.

She repeatedly thought about the chairman's request and the current situation of the Mo family, and her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

At dawn, she finally made a bold decision.

She stood up, turned on the computer, and began to revise the cooperation plan.

She carefully analyzed the other party's needs and the Mo family's advantages, and cleverly found a balance.

Her revised plan not only met the other party's harsh conditions to a certain extent, such as increasing part of the profit sharing, but also cleverly avoided the leakage of core technology, protected the core interests of the Mo family's enterprises, and added long-term cooperation terms that were beneficial to both parties, maximizing the future development of the Mo family.

The next morning, Wen Nuan and Mo Han came to the chairman's office again.

Wen Nuan handed the revised plan to the chairman, her tone calm and confident: "Chairman, this is my revised plan, please review it."

The chairman took the plan and read it carefully.

At first, there was a hint of doubt on his face, but as he read deeper, his expression gradually turned into surprise. Finally, he raised his head and looked at Wen Nuan, his eyes full of admiration: "Mrs. Mo, you really impressed me. This plan is excellent."

Mo Han also saw Wen Nuan's plan, and only then did he realize his impulsiveness yesterday.

He walked over to Wen Nuan, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and whispered in her ear, "Wen Nuan, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive yesterday. Your plan is really great."

Wen Nuan smiled slightly and accepted Mo Han's apology.

Their eyes met, full of love and tacit understanding.

The chairman closed the proposal, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Mrs. Mo, your proposal is indeed very attractive, but..." He paused, his eyes falling on Wen Nuan and Mo Han's clasped hands, "I need some time to think about it."

Wen Nuan knows that "needing time to consider" is often a delaying tactic in business negotiations, and it may also mean that the other party is still weighing the pros and cons and waiting for better conditions.

She smiled gracefully: "Of course, Chairman, please take your time to consider it. However, in order to give you a more comprehensive understanding of the strength and sincerity of our Mo family, I have also prepared a small supplementary document that may be helpful to your decision-making." As she spoke, Wen Nuan took out another document from the briefcase she was carrying and handed it over.

The chairman took the document with a little doubt, opened it and took a look. His brows first frowned slightly, then gradually relaxed, and a barely perceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.

This document is not a simple supplementary explanation, but an in-depth analysis and cooperation outlook for their company's future development direction. It accurately points out the difficulties and potential opportunities they are currently facing, and proposes solutions and resource support that the Mo family can provide.

This document demonstrates that the Mo family not only possesses strong financial strength, but also possesses keen market insight and forward-looking strategic vision.

The more the chairman read it, the more he felt that the document was extraordinary. He raised his head, looked at Wen Nuan deeply, and his tone was filled with a bit more admiration: "Mrs. Mo, this document..." He paused and did not continue. Instead, he handed the document to the assistant beside him and whispered a few instructions.

The assistant left in a hurry, leaving only Wen Nuan, Mo Han and the chairman in the room.

The atmosphere was a little solemn for a moment. The chairman tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

Wen Nuan and Mo Han waited quietly, knowing that the outcome of this round was still undecided.

"Mrs. Mo," the chairman suddenly spoke with a meaningful tone, "You really gave me a big surprise." He stood up, walked to the French window, and looked out at the city scenery in the distance. "About the cooperation..." He paused, turned around, and looked at Wen Nuan sharply. "Tonight, I would like to invite Mrs. Mo to dinner alone. I wonder if you would honor me?"

Mo Han's face instantly darkened. He pulled Wen Nuan behind him and said in a cold tone, "Chairman, I think you may have some misunderstanding. Regarding cooperation, we can..."

"Mo Han," Wen Nuan gently patted the back of Mo Han's hand, signaling him to calm down. Then she stepped forward, met the chairman's gaze, and said calmly and firmly, "I appreciate the chairman's kindness. However, I hope to discuss any matters concerning cooperation in a formal setting. If you have any further questions, we can arrange a business meeting at any time. As for dinner..." Wen Nuan smiled slightly, with a hint of unquestionable determination in her tone, "That's not necessary."

A complex emotion flashed in the chairman's eyes. He looked at Wen Nuan deeply and said slowly, "In that case, I look forward to Mrs. Mo's performance at the meeting." He picked up the phone and instructed his assistant, "Notify everyone to convene a board meeting at 9:00 AM tomorrow to discuss the cooperation plan with the Mo Group."

The phone was hung up and silence fell in the room.

Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other, their eyes filled with confidence and determination.

"Mrs. Mo," the chairman suddenly spoke again just as the two were about to leave, his tone carrying a subtle hint of probing. "I heard that Mrs. Mo and Miss Lu, the daughter of the Lu Group, are old acquaintances?"

As soon as the chairman finished speaking, Mo Han's face instantly became colder, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

Wen Nuan smiled calmly, her tone calm and composed, "The chairman is well-informed. I do know Miss Lu, but we're just acquaintances. I wonder why the chairman suddenly brought this up?"

The chairman smiled meaningfully. "Nothing, just asking casually. Since Mrs. Mo and Miss Lu know each other, they must know that the Lu Group is expanding into overseas markets recently. If the Mo Group is interested, perhaps we can cooperate as three parties and win a win-win future together."

Wen Nuan's heart moved slightly, and she keenly sensed that there was something behind the chairman's words.

She had heard about the Lu Group's overseas expansion plan a long time ago, and this was indeed a rare opportunity.

But she didn't express her opinion immediately. Instead, she calmly asked, "Are you serious? If we can cooperate with the Lu Group, it would be a great opportunity. I just don't know what specific cooperation plan the chairman has."

The chairman smiled and didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "We can discuss the specific plan later. Right now, I'm more interested in Mrs. Mo's personal abilities. I heard that Mrs. Mo once single-handedly saved the Mo Group from a crisis. Is this true?"

Wen Nuan smiled modestly and said, "Chairman, you're too kind. I'm just doing my best."

"Mrs. Mo, there's no need to be so modest." A glint of admiration flashed in the chairman's eyes. "I've witnessed your abilities. I believe that as long as we work together, we can create even greater success." He paused, his tone filled with unquestionable certainty. "I hope Mrs. Mo can attend tomorrow morning's board meeting. Let us witness the rise of the Mo Group together!"

The atmosphere at the board meeting the next morning was extremely tense.

After a heated discussion, the board of directors finally approved the cooperation plan with Mo's enterprise.

Mo Han and Wen Nuan walked out of the venue side by side, with victorious smiles on their faces.

The Mo family business has finally overcome the difficulties, and their future is full of hope.

Just then, Wen Nuan's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and her expression instantly became serious.

"Hey?"

"Wu Nuan, something happened! Our company...our company has been sued!" The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

My warm heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came over me.

"What's going on? Tell me slowly."

"I don't know the details, I just know it's... it's..." The assistant's voice trembled, "It's the Lu Group..."

Wen Nuan's face turned pale in an instant, and the phone almost slipped from her hand.

She held Mo Han's hand tightly, her fingertips were cold.

Mo Han noticed the strange warmth and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Wen Nuan took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and said slowly: "Mo Han, we...we may be in trouble..." She handed the phone to Mo Han, "Listen for yourself..."

Mo Han took the phone and listened to his assistant's intermittent report, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.

The phone was hung up and silence fell in the room.

Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other, their eyes filled with solemnity and uneasiness.

"Lu Group..." Mo Han muttered to himself, a hint of disbelief in his tone, "Why would they do this..."

Wen Nuan shook her head, she didn't know the answer either.

She only knew that a bigger storm was coming...

"Boom boom boom——"

A rapid knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

The assistant pushed the door open, his face panicked, holding a document in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo, the court... the court summons..."

Wen Nuan took the subpoena, took a look at it, and the document in her hand fell to the ground.

"How could this be..." She muttered to herself, her eyes filled with shock and despair.

Mo Han picked up the document, glanced through it quickly, and his expression became extremely ugly.

"Industrial espionage..." He gritted his teeth, "They actually accused us of industrial espionage..."
