The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

Su Wanwan stood in front of the French window, looking down at the dimly lit City A. It was late at night, but her heart was as restless as this city that never sleeps.

The conversation with Huo Yanshen last night was still ringing in her ears. Should she accept the acquisition, or continue to fight alone? This question was like a sword hanging over her head, keeping her awake at night.

At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Zhang Jiaying:

“Wan Wan, are you okay? I heard about what happened at the company. Let me know if you need any help.”

Seeing her best friend's concern, Su Wanwan felt warm in her heart. She was about to reply when she suddenly thought of something.

"Jiaying, can you help me check all the recent news reports about the Su Group? Especially the sources of those negative news."

Soon, Zhang Jiaying replied: "No problem, I will check it right away. You have to be careful, I always feel that there is something wrong behind these things."

Putting down the phone, Su Wanwan took a deep breath. She knew that now was not the time to hesitate. She had to take action, otherwise there would only be an endless abyss waiting for her.

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the office, Su Wanwan had already made a decision.

"Xiao Lin," she said to the secretary who rushed over, "notify all department heads to hold a meeting in the conference room in an hour."

"Yes, Mr. Su." Xiao Lin nodded, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Su, have you thought it through?"

Su Wanwan smiled bitterly, "No matter if we have considered it clearly or not, we have no way out."

An hour later, the top executives of the Su Group gathered in the conference room. Everyone's face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Su Wanwan looked around and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I believe everyone knows the current situation of the company. We are facing an unprecedented crisis. However, I don't believe that all this is a coincidence."

She paused and continued, "I suspect that someone is behind all this. They not only want to destroy the Su Group, but also want to completely destroy our Su family."

There was an uproar in the conference room.

"Mr. Su, are you saying that someone is behind this?" asked Financial Director Li Ming.

Su Wanwan nodded, "That's right. I need your help. Director Li, I want you to lead the Finance Department to thoroughly investigate all recent abnormal transactions. Lawyer Wang, you will be responsible for contacting our partners to see if anyone has received threats or inducements. Mr. Zhang from the Marketing Department, you will be responsible for tracking down the source of the negative news."

She looked at everyone and said firmly, "I know this may bring risks to everyone. If someone wants to withdraw, I completely understand. But if you choose to stay, I need your full support."

There was silence in the conference room for a moment. Suddenly, Li Ming stood up and said, "Boss Su, I support you!"

Soon after, others also expressed their opinions: "We will fight with you to the end!"

Looking at the determined eyes of the crowd, Su Wanwan felt warm in her heart. She knew that as long as there was the support of these people, the Su family still had hope.

"Thank you everyone." Su Wanwan bowed deeply, "Then, let's begin the action!"

After the meeting, Su Wanwan returned to the office, only to find Huo Yanshen sitting at her desk.

"Mr. Huo," Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows, "How did you get in?"

Huo Yanshen smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter. What matters is, have you made a decision?"

Su Wanwan looked directly into Huo Yanshen's eyes. "Yes, I have decided. I will not accept your acquisition proposal."

Huo Yanshen seemed to have expected this. He stood up and walked to the window. "Miss Su, are you sure? Do you know what this means?"

“I know.” Su Wanwan’s voice was firm, “But this is my father’s hard work. I can’t just give up like this.”

Huo Yanshen turned around and looked at her deeply, "Even if you might lose everything?"

Su Wanwan bit her lip and said, "Even so."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Okay. Since you insist on doing this, I won't force you. However, I have a suggestion."

"What suggestions?" Su Wanwan asked vigilantly.

"Sell off some non-core assets." Huo Yanshen said, "This way we can raise some funds to temporarily pay off creditors."

Su Wanwan was shocked. She knew what Huo Yanshen said made sense, but it meant that she had to give up something precious.

"I...I need to think about it." Su Wanwan said with difficulty.

Huo Yanshen nodded, "Okay. But time is running out. You have to make a decision quickly."

After saying that, he turned and left the office, leaving Su Wanwan alone in deep thought.

Just then, the phone rang. It was a call from the school.

"Hello." Su Wanwan answered the phone.

"Is this Su Wanwan?" A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm the school counselor. I have something to discuss with you."

Su Wanwan's heart sank, and she vaguely guessed something.

"Student Su, we noticed that you have been absent from many classes recently. Taking into account your current special situation, the school has decided to give you an option. You can apply for a leave of absence and come back to continue your studies when your situation improves."

Su Wanwan was silent for a moment before she spoke with difficulty: "I understand. Thank you for your concern. I...I need to think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan felt dizzy. She knew that this meant she might have to give up her studies.

But now, the company's crisis is the most important thing. She must devote herself to the battle to save the Su Group.

Taking a deep breath, Su Wanwan picked up the phone and dialed her mother's number.

“Mom,” she said, her voice trembling, “we need to talk. About… selling some of our belongings.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Li Yujie's tired voice came: "Wanwan, are you sure?"

“I’m sure, Mom.” Su Wanwan held back her tears. “This may be our only chance.”
