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

In the morning, Huo Yanshen got up early and prepared to meet Mr. Huo. Su Wanwan helped him straighten his collar, her eyes full of worry.

"Yan Shen, you have to be careful." Su Wanwan said softly, "I always feel that today's meeting is unusual."

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand and said gently: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, we will face it together."

Su Wanwan nodded and watched her husband leave. As she watched Huo Yanshen's back disappear at the door, she felt uneasy.

Huo family’s old house, study.

Mr. Huo sat on a large mahogany chair with a solemn expression. Huo Yanshen pushed the door open and said respectfully, "Father, are you looking for me?"

Mr. Huo motioned him to sit down and said straight to the point: "Yan Shen, you should be very clear about the company's recent situation."

Huo Yanshen nodded: "Yes, father. Although we have clarified the rumors, the company's reputation has indeed been affected to a certain extent."

Mr. Huo sighed and said, "It's not just a reputation issue. Several important partners have expressed their intention to re-evaluate their partnership with us. Some people on the board of directors have also questioned your leadership ability."

Huo Yanshen's heart sank, but he remained calm on the surface: "Father, please rest assured, I will definitely turn the situation around as soon as possible."

Mr. Huo shook his head: "Yan Shen, it's not that simple. Your second uncle has submitted a restructuring plan to the board of directors, suggesting that he temporarily take over the daily operations of the company."

Huo Yanshen stood up suddenly: "What? How could Second Uncle be like this?"

Mr. Huo looked at him sternly: "Sit down! Yan Shen, you are still too young and don't understand the game of power. Your second uncle made a very clever move. It not only complied with the wishes of some directors, but also did not directly challenge your position as president."

Huo Yanshen suppressed his anger and sat down: "Father, what you mean is..."

Mr. Huo said in a deep voice: "The board of directors has agreed to this plan. Starting from next week, your second uncle will take over the daily operations of the company as the executive president. You will retain the title of president for the time being, but you must hand over the power in your hands."

Huo Yanshen felt dizzy. He couldn't believe that things had turned out to this point.

"Father, do you agree to this?" Huo Yanshen's voice trembled a little.

Mr. Huo said seriously: "Yan Shen, this is for the long-term development of the company. Your recent performance is indeed disappointing. Especially..." He paused, "especially your attitude towards Su Wanwan."

Huo Yanshen raised his head suddenly: "Father, what do you mean? Wanwan she..."

Mr. Huo interrupted him: "Enough! Yan Shen, you have to understand that in our circle, the relationship between husband and wife is never just a matter between two people. Su Wanwan has brought a huge crisis to the company, but you are still defending her, which makes the board of directors very dissatisfied."

Huo Yanshen clenched his fists and tried to control his emotions: "Father, Wanwan was framed. Moreover, if it weren't for her, we might have been defeated by the attack of the 'Black Claw'."

Old Master Huo sneered: "Being framed? Yan Shen, you are too naive. In the business world, being framed is a sign of incompetence. A truly outstanding daughter-in-law of the Huo family should always be careful about her words and deeds, and not give others any chance to take advantage of her."

Huo Yanshen felt a pang of heartache. He didn't expect his father to evaluate Su Wanwan in this way.

Mr. Huo continued: "Yan Shen, I will give you another chance. If you can take the initiative to divorce Su Wanwan, I can consider letting you retain more power. Otherwise..."

Huo Yanshen stood up suddenly, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes: "Father! Are you forcing me?"

Mr. Huo also stood up and said majestically: "I am giving you a choice. Yan Shen, you have to think clearly, is your career more important, or is your love affair more important."

Huo Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Father, I am very grateful for your cultivation. However, if I have to choose between my career and Wanwan, I will choose Wanwan."

Mr. Huo's face darkened instantly: "Okay, very good. In that case, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between father and son. From now on, all your decisions must be approved by your second uncle. If you don't perform well, the board of directors may remove you from your position at any time."

Huo Yanshen said stubbornly: "Father, I will prove with facts that Wanwan and I together can lead the company to a more glorious future."

Mr. Huo waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Take care of yourself."

After leaving the old house, Huo Yanshen sat in the car, feeling more tired than ever before. He took out his phone and sent a message to Su Wanwan: "Wanwan, we need to talk."

When she got home, Su Wanwan was already waiting at the door. Seeing Huo Yanshen's tired look, she said distressedly: "Yan Shen, what happened?"

Huo Yanshen told Su Wanwan everything that happened in the old house. After listening, Su Wanwan's eyes were filled with tears: "Yan Shen, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

Huo Yanshen hugged his wife and said, "Don't say that, Wanwan. This is not your fault. We underestimated the ambitions of those people."

Su Wanwan looked up at her husband: "Then...what should we do?"

Huo Yan took a deep breath: "Wanwan, I have a plan, but it may be dangerous. I think..."

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Huo Yanshen went to open the door and found that it was Lin Zhiqiang.

"Boss Huo, Boss Su," Lin Zhiqiang said nervously, "It's bad, something happened in the company!"

Huo Yanshen quickly invited him in: "What's going on?"

Lin Zhiqiang said quickly: "Just now, the second president held an emergency meeting and announced a series of personnel adjustments. Many executives who supported you were transferred from important positions."

Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan looked at each other and saw shock and worry in each other's eyes.

"Not only that," Lin Zhiqiang continued, "the second president also announced that he would conduct a comprehensive review of all major decisions made by the company in the near future, including...including the decision to hire President Su as a consultant to the company."

Su Wanwan felt dizzy, she knew what this meant. Huo Yanshen's second uncle obviously wanted to take this opportunity to completely drive her out of the company.

Huo Yanshen clenched his fists and tried to control his emotions: "Lin Zhiqiang, thank you for telling us the news in time. You go back first, and be careful not to be exposed."

After seeing Lin Zhiqiang off, Huo Yanshen turned to Su Wanwan: "Wanwan, it seems we have to speed up our actions."

Su Wanwan nodded: "Yan Shen, tell me your plan. No matter how dangerous it is, I will face it with you."

Huo Yanshen looked at his wife deeply, his eyes full of love and gratitude: "Wanwan, my plan is this..."

In the next few days, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan began to act secretly. On the surface, they cooperated with their second uncle's arrangements, while secretly collecting evidence to try to expose his conspiracy.

However, things did not go smoothly. The second uncle was obviously well prepared, and every step they took seemed to be seen through. What was worse was that fewer and fewer people in the company supported Huo Yanshen, and many people began to support the second uncle.

One night a week later, Huo Yanshen returned home exhausted. Su Wanwan poured him a glass of warm water and asked with concern, "How was your day?"

Huo Yanshen shook his head: "Not so good. Second Uncle rejected another proposal of mine today. Wanwan, I feel like we are losing control of the company step by step."

Su Wanwan held her husband's hand and said, "Yan Shen, don't lose heart. We will definitely find a breakthrough."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?" Huo Yanshen answered the phone.

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Huo, I have some information that may be of interest to you. If you want to know the truth, come to the abandoned factory in the old city at 12 noon tomorrow."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan looked at each other and saw confusion and vigilance in each other's eyes.

"Yan Shen, could this be a trap?" Su Wanwan said worriedly.

Huo Yan thought for a moment: "Maybe, but it could also be the opportunity we have been waiting for. Wanwan, I must go."

Su Wanwan said firmly: "Then I will go with you."

Huo Yanshen shook his head: "It's too dangerous. It's safer for you to stay at home."

Su Wanwan grabbed her husband's hand: "Yan Shen, we agreed to face this together. No matter how dangerous it is, I will stay by your side."

Looking at his wife's determined eyes, Huo Yanshen felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, with Su Wanwan by his side, he would have the courage to face everything.

"Okay," Huo Yanshen nodded, "Let's go together. But we have to be fully prepared."

That night, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan conspired until late at night. They knew that tomorrow might be a crucial day to determine their fate.
