From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 41 Another Challenge: A Warm and Resilient Response

The old lady was stunned by the new trendy word "warmth" that "strikes at a lower dimension". It took her a while to find her voice: "This... young people nowadays are really..."

Another elder snorted coldly, "A dimensionality reduction attack? I think you're just trying to get to the top overnight! Without grassroots experience, how can you manage a company? Everyone knows how to talk big!"

Wen Nuan was not annoyed and still maintained a decent smile, but she thought to herself: Old man, you need to update your ideas.

But he remained respectful: "Uncle, times have changed. Efficient management is the trend now. Although I don't have grassroots experience, I have a broader vision and more advanced concepts. This is the core competitiveness of enterprise development. It's like playing a game. Those who know it will understand it."

Several elders took turns to talk to Wen Nuan and "interrogate her soul", ranging from corporate strategy to financial statements, from marketing to human resources. It was even more exciting than the college entrance examination.

Wen Nuan felt as if she was in a Shura field, feeling extremely stressed, and she was complaining in her heart: This is not a family gathering, it's clearly a large-scale public execution!

But her expression remained calm, sometimes quoting from classics, sometimes making witty remarks, and even occasionally showing off her wit, explaining those professional terms in a simple and easy-to-understand way. She not only demonstrated her ability but also maintained the face of her elders. It was a textbook-level perfect response.

Seeing that the little girl was not moved by any persuasion, an elder finally used his trump card: "Young man, it's all talk and no action. How about this, if you can get a cooperation project from Wu Dui within a month, we will recognize your ability." Wu Dui was notoriously difficult to deal with. People in the circle called him "old fox". This was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him!

The warm smile remained, but a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: It's finally here!

But she agreed readily, "It's a deal!" She paused, her tone playful and a little provocative, "But, if I win, wouldn't the elders also have to show some support? For example... support for me and Mo Han?"

The air froze instantly and everyone looked at each other.

At this moment, Wen Nuan's phone vibrated. She glanced at the screen and her expression changed slightly...

"Excuse me, I need to take a call." Wen Nuan walked aside and pressed the answer button. The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the line: "Boss Wen, this is bad! Something happened! The data for the new project... the data has been tampered with!"

Wen Nuan's heart sank. She gripped her phone tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to remain calm. "I understand. I'll be right back." After hanging up, she turned to face the crowd, still wearing a polite smile, but her eyes had a hint of sharpness. "Dear elders, there's something urgent at the company. I have to excuse myself."

After returning to the company, Wen Nuan immediately called a meeting of relevant departments.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense, with the heads of various departments blaming each other and no one was willing to admit that it was their responsibility.

Chen Xin, an employee, even added fuel to the fire, implying in a sarcastic tone that the data error was caused by Wen Nuan's poor management.

"Mr. Wen has just come to the company and is not familiar with the business yet. It is understandable that such a problem has occurred." New employee Chen shook his head with pretended regret, but there was a glint of gloating in his eyes.

The heads of several other departments also echoed this, trying to shift the blame onto Wen Nuan.

Wen Nuan listened quietly without saying a word, her sharp eyes sweeping over everyone present.

After they finished speaking, she slowly spoke: "Are you done?" Her tone was calm, but with an aura of majesty without anger.

"Now that we've finished talking, let's get to work!" Wen Nuan turned on the projector, compared the tampered data with the original data, and analyzed the problem in a clear and logical manner. "The data was maliciously tampered with, and the method was very professional. It's definitely not something our internal staff could do."

She paused, her eyes fixed on Employee Chen. "As for your unfamiliarity with the business... Employee Chen, you joined earlier than I did. Why don't you explain why you made such a basic mistake, causing a deviation in the data for the entire project?"

Employee Chen's face changed and he stammered, unable to speak.

Wen Nuan didn't give him a chance to explain and continued, "I've already found out that Wu was behind the data tampering. His goal was to sabotage our new project and disrupt our market layout."

She took out the evidence she had prepared long ago and exposed Wu's opponent's conspiracy one by one.

Everyone present was in an uproar, accusing Chen Xin of dereliction of duty and Wu of opponent's despicable behavior.

"I've long felt that old fellow Wu's opponent has bad intentions!"

"Exactly! Luckily, President Wen is very perceptive, otherwise we would have been badly tricked by him!"

"Employee Chen, what else do you have to say?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Chen Xin's face turned pale and he was speechless.

Wen Nuan gave him a cold look and said in a cold tone, "As for your problem, I will submit it to the human resources department for processing."

After finishing her work at the company, Wen Nuan returned to the office and rubbed her temples tiredly.

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

"Wife, I..." Mo Han's voice was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Wen Nuan asked.

"Wife, I..." Mo Han's voice was hesitant, "I might have to go on a business trip for a few days."

Wen Nuan's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of loss came over her.

She suppressed her emotions and said casually, "Oh, where are we going? How long will it take?"

"I'm going to City A for about a week." Mo Han's tone was full of apology. "I wanted to spend the weekend with you. I'm really sorry."

Wen Nuan pursed her lips and said "hmm" softly.

Mo Han heard the dejection in her tone and quickly added, "My dear wife, don't be unhappy! When I come back, I'll bring you delicious food and... a surprise!"

surprise?

A hint of curiosity arose in Wen Nuan's heart, but she didn't ask any further questions.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the empty office and felt empty inside.

However, when Wen Nuan returned home and opened the bedroom door, she was stunned by the scene before her.

The room was filled with flowers, the air was filled with a faint fragrance, and there was an exquisite gift box on the bed.

Inside the gift box was a sparkling diamond necklace, and next to it was a card that read: Wife, you are my only one.

The corners of his warm mouth unconsciously rose, and a warm current surged in his heart.

It turned out that this was the surprise Mo Han was talking about.

She picked up the necklace, put it gently around her neck, and gave herself a bright smile in the mirror.

In the next few days, although Mo Han was not around, Wen Nuan did not feel lonely.

Every morning when she woke up, she would receive sweet text messages from Mo Han. Sometimes they were simple greetings, sometimes they were sharing interesting things during his travels, and sometimes he would send some funny emoticons, which made Wen Nuan laugh.

However, the good times did not last long.

Just when Wen Nuan was immersed in sweet thoughts, Lin Xiao started to act up again.

While Mo Han was away, she began to spread some false rumors about Wen Nuan in Mo Han's social circle, saying that Wen Nuan had relied on trickery to get to the top, was very scheming, and was not worthy of Mo Han at all.

These rumors quickly spread among Mo Han's circle of friends. Some people who didn't know the truth began to point fingers at Wen Nuan, and some even mocked her to her face.

Although Wen Nuan pretended not to care on the surface, she felt as if she was being pricked by needles in her heart.

Just then, Wen Nuan's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this Miss Wen Nuan?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "I am..."

"Who are you?" Wen Nuan asked warily.

"I am..." The man paused, his tone becoming meaningful, "your husband's true friend." Wen Nuan sneered. She was no longer surprised by this kind of mysterious opening remark.

"'True friend'? I'm afraid it's not 'true enemy'?" She retorted bluntly, "Just say what you mean. I don't have time to play guessing games with you."

The man on the other end of the phone didn't seem to expect Wen Nuan's reaction. He paused for a moment before continuing, "I know about your relationship with Mo Han, and I also know that Lin Xiao has been targeting you. I just want to remind you to be careful with Lin Xiao. She's not someone you can easily deal with."

"Thank you for your reminder, but I don't need it." Wen Nuan hung up the phone decisively, too lazy to pay any more attention to this cunning and scheming person.

She didn't have time to pay attention to these rumors now. The project she was working on was at a critical stage and if she was not careful, she would lose everything.

Instead of wasting time dealing with these people, it is better to focus on your own work and prove yourself with your strength.

It turns out that the warm choice was the right one.

She led the team to work overtime and finally completed the project ahead of schedule and achieved very good results.

This severely slapped the faces of those rumormongers and made the company's top management look at Wen Nuan with admiration.

When Mo Han came back from a business trip, he saw the refreshed Wen Nuan and his eyes were full of admiration.

He had long known that Wen Nuan was a strong and independent woman, but this time, she once again refreshed his perception of her.

"Wife, you are so great!" He hugged her warmly in his arms, his tone full of pride and pampering.

"This is what I should do." Wen Nuan leaned in Mo Han's arms, feeling the familiar scent on him, and her heart was at ease.

"I know Lin Xiao has been causing trouble for you. I've already warned her." Mo Han's tone suddenly turned cold. "If she dares to do anything to you again, I won't let her go."

"I believe you." Wen Nuan raised her head and gave Mo Han a reassuring smile.

However, they did not know that greater challenges were yet to come.

How could Lin Xiao give up so easily?

She hid in the shadows, a sinister look in her eyes, her phone tightly clutched in her hand. A message from an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen: "Happy cooperation." She curled her lips into a sinister smile...

"Mo Han, Wen Nuan, the game has just begun..." She murmured softly.
