From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 16: Light Breaks Through the Mist: Initial Restoration of Trust

Wen Nuan took a deep breath, scanned the faces in the conference room, and spoke calmly: "Dear directors, in response to the plan proposed last time, after several days of market research and data analysis, I have made some additions and adjustments to form a more complete plan. I hope it will be recognized by everyone." She turned on the projector, and the details of the revised plan were clearly displayed on the screen. The data charts were well-organized, the logic was clear, and it was convincing.

The conference room was silent. Everyone was looking at the contents on the screen attentively, occasionally looking down at the documents in their hands.

Only Director Chen had been crossing his arms since Wen Nuan started speaking, with a gloomy face and an expression of disapproval.

After Wen Nuan finished her explanation, she looked around and politely asked, "Dear directors, do you have any questions about this supplementary plan?"

Director Chen sneered and said bluntly, "Questions? Humph! My biggest question is, how can you, a girl abandoned by your family, think you are capable of leading such an important project? You are overestimating your own abilities!"

Director Chen's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Wen Nuan's head, and the atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly.

Wen Nuan's face paled slightly, but she tried to control her emotions and responded calmly, "Director Chen, whether I was abandoned by my family has nothing to do with my work ability. I poured a lot of effort into this plan."

"You talk better than you sing!" Director Chen curled his lips in disdain. "What's the use of good data? Everyone can talk big on paper. Let me tell you, the business world is like a battlefield. It's not something a little girl like you can handle!"

At this moment, Assistant Wu, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stood up, holding a stack of documents. "Director Chen, this is the market research data we conducted based on Wen Nuan's plan. The results show..." He paused, his eyes sweeping across the room. "The results show that Wen Nuan's plan has high feasibility and market potential, and is expected to bring at least a 30% profit increase to the company."

As soon as Assistant Wu finished speaking, a low murmur of discussion suddenly rang out in the conference room.

Some senior executives who were originally skeptical began to waver and turned their attention to Wen Nuan.

Director Chen's face turned ashen, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.

Wen Nuan looked at Director Chen's frustrated expression, but she didn't feel proud at all. Instead, she felt even more depressed.

This atmosphere of intrigue made her feel suffocated, and she just wanted to do her job well and prove her worth.

After the meeting, Wen Nuan dragged her tired body out of the meeting room.

The corridor was empty, with only the sound of her high heels hitting the ground echoing in the empty corridor.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in her sight...

Mo Han stood not far away, looking at her quietly with complicated eyes.

"You..." He started to speak, but stopped.

Wen Nuan's heart skipped a beat.

Mo Han's eyes seemed to have lost their previous indifference and had become more...

distressed?

She was a little unsure, which made her even more flustered.

Could it be because he saw him being harassed by Director Chen in the conference room just now?

She subconsciously tried to avoid his touch, but he gently held her wrist.

"Are you tired?" Mo Han's voice was low and gentle, and his fingertips gently stroked the back of her hand, as if he was comforting a frightened deer.

"I've seen the plan, it's very good."

Wen Nuan was stunned. This was the first time Mo Han affirmed her work.

A warm feeling surged into my heart, diluting the fatigue and grievance just now.

"Thank you," she whispered, her voice choked.

Mo Han looked at her red eyes, and an indescribable tenderness surged in his heart.

"Come with me." He took her hand and walked towards his office.

Lin Xiao hid in the corner and took in the whole scene.

She originally thought that after what happened last time, Mo Han would only be more disgusted with Wen Nuan, but she didn't expect him to...

Lin Xiao clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

No, she absolutely cannot let Wen Nuan get close to Mo Han again!

Mo Han's office is spacious and bright, with a bustling city night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Wen Nuan stood by the window, looking at the flashing neon lights, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

"I have a few more ideas about the plan..." Mo Han's voice broke the silence. He walked to Wen Nuan and looked at the scenery outside the window with her.

"We can..."

He said, pulling her into his arms, resting his chin gently on the top of her head, his warm breath against her ear, making her shiver.

"For example..." His voice was a little hoarse, "We can use..." He paused, a meaningful smile on his face, "some of the family's resources..."

Mo Han hugged Wen Nuan and whispered in her ear. He didn't say any sweet words, but analyzed the feasibility of the plan in a practical way and put forward some constructive suggestions.

What he meant by "family resources" was not to directly use the power of the Mo family to push the plan, but to contact several respected experts in the industry and consult them in a private capacity.

The opinions given by these experts pointed out some potential problems in the plan and provided more complete solutions.

Wen Nuan listened attentively, raising questions from time to time, and Mo Han answered them patiently. The atmosphere between the two was harmonious and natural.

She originally thought that Mo Han was just pretending to be helpful, but she didn't expect that he would actually help her with all his heart.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart. This feeling...

I feel a little drunk!

"How is it? Did you suddenly get enlightened?" Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan's expression of sudden enlightenment, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Yeah!" Wen Nuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "These experts' advice is invaluable! It's like a god's help!"

After several days of revisions and improvements, Wen Nuan confidently took the final plan to Lawyer Zhou.

"Mr. Zhou, could you please help me take another look?"

Lawyer Zhou took the plan, put on his reading glasses, and carefully read through it page by page.

The office was quiet, with only the sound of shuffling papers.

As time passed, my warm heart became more and more anxious.

Finally, Lawyer Zhou put down the plan, took off his glasses, looked at Wen Nuan, and said slowly, "This plan is absolutely perfect. From both a legal and business perspective, it's impeccable."

"Really?" Wen Nuan could hardly believe her ears.

"Of course." Lawyer Zhou smiled, a rare moment. "Xiao Wen, you really impressed me."

Wen Nuan was ecstatic. She knew that this was not only an affirmation of her plan, but also a recognition of her ability.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress her excitement.

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhou."

Walking out of the office, I felt warm and light under my feet, as if I was walking on clouds.

She took out her cell phone and wanted to tell Mo Han the good news, but hesitated.

At this moment, Assistant Wu came over and said to her mysteriously, "Ms. Wen, Director Chen wants you to go to his office." There was a subtle hint of...

gloat?

Wen Nuan paused, the slight joy in her heart was instantly extinguished by Assistant Wu's words.

Director Chen?

That old stubborn guy!

He has always been opposed to his own plan. If he asks her to go this time, it will definitely not be a good thing!

Assistant Wu's gloating look is so obvious!

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm. He was just an old fox, so who was afraid of him?

She raised her chin and smiled confidently, "Lead the way."

The atmosphere in Director Chen's office was solemn.

Director Chen sat behind his large desk with a gloomy face, holding a warm plan in his hand, without saying a word.

Seeing Wen Nuan coming in, he just raised his eyelids and said in a cold tone: "Sit down."

Wen Nuan sat down opposite him, feeling nothing inside, and even feeling a little like laughing.

That's it?

Want to intimidate her?

Old trick, no use!

"I've reviewed your proposal," Director Chen finally spoke, a hint of disdain in his tone. "Although Lawyer Zhou approves of it, I still think it's too radical."

Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, "Director Chen, my proposal isn't radical. It's the optimal solution based on market research and data analysis. If you have any questions, I can explain it in detail."

Director Chen snorted coldly: "Explain? What do I need you to explain? What does a young girl who has just started out know about the market? What does she know about business?"

"Director Chen, I understand your doubts about my qualifications." Wen Nuan smiled slightly, a sharp glint in her eyes. "But the success of a plan isn't determined by qualifications, but by the results."

Director Chen's face darkened and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Lin Xiao walked in in high heels with a smile of victory on her face.

She walked straight to Director Chen, took his arm affectionately, and said in a coquettish tone: "Uncle Chen, you have worked hard." Then she turned to look at Wen Nuan, her eyes full of provocation.

Wen Nuan sneered in her heart: Here you are, I knew you would come!

On the surface, he remained calm and just watched her performance quietly.

Lin Xiao whispered a few words into Director Chen's ear, and Director Chen's expression gradually became solemn.

He raised his head, looked at Wen Nuan, and said in a cold tone: "Miss Wen, your plan will be put on hold for now."

Wen Nuan's heart tightened, and a bad premonition came over her.

She was about to speak when she heard Director Chen continue, "Three days later, at the company's senior management meeting, you will be prepared to present your proposal again."

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried hard to control her emotions.

She looked up, her eyes firm: "Okay."

Walking out of Director Chen’s office, Wen Nuan clenched her fists.

She felt that a bigger storm was coming.

Suddenly, she saw the sign-in sheet at the entrance of the conference room. Besides the company's top executives, there was also...

Lin Xiao’s name!
