From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 19: A glimmer of hope: a turning point in trust and solutions

Wen Nuan returned to the company, but was not greeted with the expected applause and praise.

There was a strange silence in the air. Her colleagues looked at her evasively and their whispers were as loud as the buzz of mosquitoes.

Director Chen's influence is greater than she imagined. Many employees who originally supported her are now starting to keep their distance from her.

"What's going on? Are they all disappearing?" Wen Nuan smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling like she was thrown into a transparent cage. She could see outside but couldn't touch it.

She sat alone in the office, facing a mountain of documents, the pressure coming like a tide, almost drowning her.

Are all the previous efforts in vain?

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and told herself not to give up.

She remembered what Mo Han said: "This is just the beginning." Yes, this is just the beginning, how can she give up so easily?

She turned on her computer, re-examined the rejected plans, analyzed them one by one, and looked for any deficiencies.

She had to find reasons that were convincing enough to make those questioning voices disappear completely.

The next day, Wen Nuan took the initiative to meet with several middle-level managers who had supported her before.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn.

Although these people did not express their opposition explicitly, the hesitation and concerns on their faces were obvious.

Wen Nuan didn't beat around the bush and directly presented the revised plan, explaining every detail in detail, as well as her judgment on market trends.

Her tone was firm and confident, every piece of data had been carefully scrutinized, and every argument was logically clear and irrefutable.

"I know everyone has concerns, but this project truly has great potential. Not only will it bring huge profits to the company, it will also enhance our position in the industry." Wen Nuan looked at everyone with a burning gaze. "I believe that as long as we work together, we will succeed!"

Her enthusiasm and perseverance infected everyone present.

After a heated discussion, these people were finally moved by her warm sincerity and professional attitude and expressed their willingness to speak for her at the next high-level meeting.

Coming out of the conference room, I felt a warm sensation as the heavy stone pressing on my chest finally fell to the ground.

She looked up out the window, and a ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and illuminated her face.

This may be the dawn of a breakthrough.

Back in the office, Assistant Wu hurried in and whispered, "Madam, Mr. Mo asked me to tell you that tonight..." He paused, as if weighing his words, "...tonight, there's an important dinner and I need your company."

Assistant Wu's hesitant expression made Wen Nuan's heart skip a beat.

An important dinner?

Do you need her to accompany you?

What is Mo Han up to?

Are they going to make their relationship public?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Wen Nuan felt her heart beating faster.

On the one hand, she was eager to tear off the label of "vase" and regain the trust of her colleagues; on the other hand, she was worried that acting too hastily would backfire, after all, her contractual marriage relationship with Mo Han was not open to the public.

It’s so confusing!

It feels like playing a high-difficulty dungeon, and the game will be over if you are not careful.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "I know. I'll be there on time."

In the following time, Wen Nuan felt very uncomfortable.

She stared at the computer screen for a while, then picked up her phone to read the news, trying to divert her attention, but her mind was full of scenes from the dinner party that night.

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open, and Mo Han's figure appeared at the door.

He was wearing a dark blue suit today, looking particularly tall and handsome.

He walked straight to Wen Nuan, calmly stuffed a neatly folded piece of paper into her hand, then turned and left. The whole process was smooth and did not attract anyone's attention.

Wen Nuan unfolded the note doubtfully, and on it were written a line of scribbled words: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." These simple words were like a warm current flowing into her heart, dispelling all her uneasiness and anxiety.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, and his originally tense nerves slowly relaxed.

She seemed to have taken a reassurance pill and her fighting spirit was rekindled.

Isn’t it just a dinner party?

When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. What is there to be afraid of?

In the evening, Wen Nuan changed into an elegant dress and followed Assistant Wu to the booked hotel.

As soon as she entered the box, she felt that the atmosphere was a little off.

In addition to Mo Han, there were several middle-aged men in suits and ties, all of them with serious expressions and no smiles.

Assistant Wu whispered in her ear, "Madam, these are all members of the company's board of directors..."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp female voice broke the silence in the box: "Hey, isn't this our Madam Mo? Why, are you here to discuss business too?"

Wen Nuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Xiao walking in, wearing a fiery red dress and high heels, twisting her waist, with a look of naked provocation on her face...

Wen Nuan smiled slightly, her eyes showing no panic, but rather a hint of playfulness.

"Miss Lin, you're joking. I'm just accompanying my husband. As for important matters like business, naturally, the seniors here will take care of them." She paused, her tone meaningful, "Unlike some people who rush here eagerly, and I don't know whether they are here to discuss business or for..." She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, her eyes sweeping past Lin Xiao and landing on a man holding a recorder, acting suspiciously beside her. "What else are we talking about?"

Lin Xiao's face changed and she glared at the man fiercely - it was reporter Gao who was bribed by her.

She never expected that Wen Nuan would be so calm and even noticed the presence of reporter Gao!

Reporter Gao felt uneasy under the warm gaze and subconsciously took a step back.

He originally planned to take this opportunity to release some specious news to discredit Wen Nuan again, but now it seems that the plan is going to fail.

At this moment, Director Chen coughed lightly, breaking the deadlock.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started." He spoke in a serious tone, as if he didn't notice the little incident just now.

Wen Nuan breathed a sigh of relief calmly.

It seems that the information revealed by Assistant Wu in advance worked, and she was already prepared to deal with it.

She knew that Lin Xiao would definitely not give up, and this dinner was destined to be a war without gunpowder.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

Wen Nuan did not rush to defend herself like before, but chose to remain silent for the time being, which made Lin Xiao a little confused.

She was like a defeated rooster, she could only stare blankly but couldn't find any point to attack.

Halfway through the dinner, Assistant Wu suddenly walked up to Wen Nuan and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Wen Nuan curled up the corners of her mouth into a barely perceptible smile.

She gracefully picked up the wine glass and toasted Director Chen, "Director Chen, I toast you a glass. Thank you for taking care of me all the time."

Director Chen was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Wen Nuan to suddenly toast him.

He raised his glass hesitantly and clinked it with Wen Nuan.

At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open and a uniformed policeman walked in...

"Excuse me, who is Miss Lin Xiao?"

The appearance of the police instantly froze the atmosphere in the box.

Lin Xiao's face turned pale, as if someone was strangling him, and he couldn't utter a word.

Reporter Gao was so frightened that his face turned pale green and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"It's me. Is there anything wrong?" Lin Xiao's voice was trembling, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly at the police.

"Ms. Lin, we have received a report that you are suspected of spreading false information and damaging the reputation of others. Please come with us." The police spoke in a businesslike manner with an unquestionable tone.

Lin Xiao wanted to argue, but was taken away by the police.

Before she left, she glared at Wen Nuan fiercely, her eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

Wen Nuan looked at Lin Xiao's back as he was taken away, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"God has his own way. No one can escape this fate." She whispered with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

After this farce ended, Director Chen's eyes looking at Wen Nuan also underwent subtle changes.

He originally thought that Wen Nuan was just a vase who relied on connections to get ahead, but he didn't expect her to be so calm and composed, and have such means.

"Wu Nuan," Director Chen's tone softened considerably. "I've carefully considered the proposal you proposed earlier and I think it has some merit."

Wen Nuan was delighted, knowing that this was her chance to turn the tables.

She immediately took out the prepared materials, explained the feasibility of the plan to Director Chen in detail, and answered his questions one by one.

After listening to this, Director Chen nodded frequently with an expression of approval on his face.

"Yes, this plan is indeed very innovative. If it can be successfully implemented, it will bring huge benefits to the company."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your affirmation," Wen Nuan said modestly. "I will continue to work hard to make this plan the best it can be."

On the other side, Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan's confident look, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman actually possessed such a strong heart and wisdom.

"Wife, you are so great!" Mo Han walked to Wen Nuan, gently put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear.

The warm cheeks flushed slightly, and a sweet feeling welled up in my heart.

She knew that the battle had just begun, but she had already found the key to breaking the deadlock.

The next day, a high-level meeting of the Mo family enterprise was held.

Although Lin Xiao was released on bail, she was still unwilling to accept defeat and decided to make trouble again at the meeting.

"Dear directors," Lin Xiao said arrogantly, "Today I am going to reveal a shocking secret..."
