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

The moment Su Wanwan stepped into the Su Group Building, it was as if she had stepped into a battlefield. The hall was filled with people, angry creditors and anxious employees mixed together, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to explode.

"Boss Su, you're finally back!" Xiao Wang came up to him quickly, his face full of anxiety. "The reporters are waiting for you in the conference room, and the creditors won't leave. What should we do?"

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "Deal with the reporters first. Xiao Wang, go inform the creditors and tell them that I will meet them in half an hour."

"Okay, Mr. Su." Xiao Wang left in a hurry.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, flashes of light immediately rained down on her. Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to stay calm.

"Ms. Su, what is the current financial situation of the Su Group?"

“There are rumors that you are about to file for bankruptcy. Is this true?”

"What do you have to say about your father's alleged financial fraud?"

Facing the reporters' barrage of questions, Su Wanwan suppressed her inner turmoil and spoke slowly: "Dear journalists, thank you for your attention to the Su Group. First of all, I want to clarify that the rumors that we are about to file for bankruptcy are untrue. The Su Group is indeed facing some operating difficulties, but we are confident that we can overcome the difficulties."

She paused, looked around, and continued, "As for my father's suspected financial fraud, the relevant departments are currently investigating. Before the results of the investigation come out, I hope everyone will not jump to conclusions. The Su Group will fully cooperate with the investigation and give the public an explanation."

"Well, Miss Su, can you explain why so many creditors have come to the company to collect debts recently?" A sharp voice suddenly sounded.

Su Wanwan looked at the source of the voice, a female reporter with sharp eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "I understand everyone's concerns. It is true that some partners have doubts about us due to some recent negative news. But I want to emphasize that Su Group has the ability and sincerity to fulfill all our contractual obligations. We are actively communicating with all parties and believe that these problems will be resolved soon."

The press conference lasted for nearly an hour, and Su Wanwan felt like she was walking on a tightrope, with every answer potentially causing a new storm. When the last question was over, she was exhausted.

However, greater challenges are still waiting for her.

After leaving the meeting room, Su Wanwan went directly to the lobby. When the creditors saw her, they immediately surrounded her.

"Su Wanwan, you must give us an explanation!"

“We want money! We want it now!”

"If we don't get the money today, we will go to court!"

Facing the roar of the crowd, Su Wanwan forced herself to remain calm. She raised her hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, please listen to me." Her voice was not loud, but it was unusually firm. "I fully understand your anxiety and anger. As the head of the Su Group, I solemnly promise to everyone here: we will definitely fulfill all our debt obligations."

"Empty words!" a middle-aged man sneered, "What we want is actual action!"

Su Wanwan nodded, "I understand. So I propose this: Please give us three days. After three days, I will come up with a detailed repayment plan. If everyone is still not satisfied by then, I am personally willing to use all my property as collateral."

This statement brought silence to the scene. The creditors looked at each other, as if they were weighing the feasibility of this proposal.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "I think this is a good suggestion."

Su Wanwan turned around and saw that it was Huo Yanshen. He appeared in the crowd without her knowing and was walking towards her step by step.

"Mr. Huo?" Su Wanwan looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was here.

Huo Yanshen looked around and said to the creditors: "Everyone, I am Huo Yanshen from the Huo Group. I am willing to personally guarantee this promise of the Su Group. If the Su Group cannot come up with a satisfactory repayment plan in three days, the Huo Group is willing to repay all debts on its behalf."

These words were like a bombshell, causing an uproar at the scene. The creditors were talking about it, and the anger in their eyes was gradually replaced by confusion and surprise.

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen in shock, not knowing how to react. She didn't understand why Huo Yanshen did this, but at this moment, she really needed such a strong support.

Finally, under Huo Yanshen's guarantee, the creditors reluctantly agreed to Su Wanwan's proposal. When the last creditor left, Su Wanwan felt that all the strength in her body had been drained away.

"Thank you." She said softly to Huo Yanshen.

Huo Yanshen smiled faintly, "You're welcome. But, Miss Su, shouldn't we have a good talk?"

Su Wanwan knew that Huo Yanshen's help must be conditional. But at this moment, she had no choice.

"Okay, let's go upstairs and talk."

When the elevator door closed, Su Wanwan suddenly felt dizzy. She staggered and almost fell.

"Miss Su!" Huo Yanshen held her and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Su Wanwan barely stood up and shook her head, "I'm fine, maybe I'm too tired recently."

Huo Yanshen frowned and looked at her, "You look very bad. Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up first?"

"No need," Su Wanwan forced a smile, "Company matters are more important now."

After walking into the office, Su Wanwan just sat down and suddenly felt dizzy. She stood up suddenly and wanted to get a glass of water, but her legs went weak and she fainted on the ground.

"Su Wanwan!" Huo Yanshen exclaimed, and quickly stepped forward to pick her up.

When Su Wanwan opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a hospital bed. Huo Yanshen was standing beside the bed, with a rare look of worry on his face.

"Awake? How do you feel?" Huo Yanshen asked.

Su Wanwan tried to sit up, "I... why am I in the hospital? The company..."

"Don't worry, I've arranged for someone to take care of it." Huo Yanshen interrupted her, "The doctor said you are seriously overworked and malnourished. Su Wanwan, you will ruin yourself if you continue like this."

Su Wanwan smiled bitterly, "I have no choice, Mr. Huo. The current Su Group may go wrong every minute and every second. I can't relax at all."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then said: "My proposal is still valid. As long as you agree, I can immediately inject capital to help the Su Group overcome the difficulties."

Su Wanwan looked into Huo Yanshen's eyes and asked softly, "Why? Why do you want to help me?"

Huo Yanshen looked at her deeply. "Because I value the potential of the Su Group and your ability. Su Wanwan, you are a promising talent. But if you continue to overdraw like this, even if you eventually save the company, you will lose yourself."

Su Wanwan was silent. She knew that what Huo Yanshen said made sense, but it was hard for her to accept giving up control of the company.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open. It was Zhang Jiaying.

"Wanwan!" Zhang Jiaying rushed to the bed, his eyes full of worry, "I just heard that you fainted, I was scared to death!"

Seeing her best friend, Su Wanwan finally couldn't hold back and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhang Jiaying hugged her distressedly, "Silly girl, cry, it will be better if you cry."

Huo Yanshen tactfully left the ward, leaving the two girls alone.

"Jiaying, I really don't know what to do." Su Wanwan sobbed, "The company is on the verge of bankruptcy, my mother is in the hospital, and the creditors come to make trouble every day... I feel like I'm about to collapse."

Zhang Jiaying stroked her back and said softly, "Wanwan, you have done a good job. But you can't handle it alone. You need help and rest."

Su Wanwan shook her head. "I can't rest. If I fall, the entire Su Group will be finished."

Zhang Jiaying was silent for a moment, then said, "Wanwan, maybe... maybe you should consider accepting Huo Yanshen's proposal."

Su Wanwan looked at her bestie in surprise, "How did you know about Huo Yanshen's proposal?"

Zhang Jiaying smiled bitterly, "I'm a reporter, remember? I can't hide these news. Wanwan, I know you don't want to give up control of the company. But in the current situation, can you really handle it alone?"

Su Wanwan fell into deep thought. She knew what Zhang Jiaying said made sense, but she was still struggling inside.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again. It was Xiao Wang.

"Boss Su!" Xiao Wang ran in breathlessly. "Oh no! Someone from the bank came and said they want to take back all the loans! If we can't pay them back immediately, they're going to seize the company's assets!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and it instantly sobered Su Wanwan up. She knew that she had to make a choice.

Should I continue to support it alone, or accept Huo Yanshen’s help?

No matter which path she chooses, it will completely change the trajectory of her life.

But she had no choice. For her father's hard work, for her sick mother, and for all the employees who depended on her, she had to make a decision.
