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

As soon as Huo Yanshen stepped into the company's gate, he was surrounded by executives who came in one after another. Everyone's face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and they reported the latest situation to him in a flurry.

"Mr. Huo, the stock price is still falling!"

“Investors are calling for an urgent briefing!”

"There's a lot of pressure from the media. They want an explanation!"

Huo Yanshen raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone calm down. Vice President Lin, call a meeting of core management immediately. The public relations department prepares a press release, but do not issue any statement before I give the order."

Everyone responded and took action quickly. Huo Yanshen strode towards his office and was about to push the door open when his secretary ran after him:

"Mr. Huo, Miss Lu is waiting for you inside. She said she has something important to discuss."

Huo Yanshen frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded: "I understand."

When I opened the office door, I saw Lu Wei in a red dress standing in front of the French window. When she heard the door open, she turned around gracefully with a faint smile on her face:

"Yan Shen, you are finally here."

Huo Yanshen walked to the desk expressionlessly and sat down: "What's the matter?"

Lu Wei walked over slowly, with a hint of concern in her tone: "I heard Wanwan was hospitalized, how is the situation?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine." Huo Yanshen said coldly.

Lu Wei was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Yan Shen, you don't think I did these things, do you? I admit that I was a little out of control at the wedding, but it was just a momentary impulse. How could I do those things to hurt you?"

Huo Yanshen looked directly into Lu Wei's eyes: "Then why did you come to see me?"

Lu Wei sat down elegantly on the sofa opposite Huo Yanshen, with her hands folded on her knees: "I'm here to help you. This incident is strange, and there must be someone behind it. I have some clues that may be useful to you."

Huo Yanshen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What clue?"

Lu Wei leaned forward and lowered her voice: "Do you still remember the merger three years ago? It almost caused a serious loss to the Huo Group."

Huo Yanshen nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"I recently discovered that the boss behind that company has a close connection with the new energy company you are going to acquire this time."

Huo Yanshen's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean..."

"That's right," Lu Wei said meaningfully, "I suspect this might be a well-designed trap. They deliberately put out the bait and waited for the Huo Group to take the bait."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then asked: "Why are you telling me this?"

Lu Wei stood up, walked to Huo Yanshen, and gently placed her hand on his shoulder: "Yan Shen, no matter what happens, I always regard you as my best friend. I can't bear to see you in danger."

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Su Wanwan stood at the door weakly but firmly, her face was still a little pale, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"Am I disturbing you?" Su Wanwan's voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm.

Huo Yanshen stood up suddenly and walked quickly to Su Wanwan: "Wanwan, why are you here? Did the doctor allow you to be discharged from the hospital?"

Su Wanwan smiled slightly: "I'm fine, just a little anemic. The doctor said that I just need to rest for a few days." Her eyes passed Huo Yanshen and fell on Lu Wei, "But Miss Lu, you came to 'comfort' so soon?"

Lu Wei adjusted her skirt elegantly and said calmly, "Wanwan, you misunderstood. I just came to discuss some business matters with Yan Shen. I heard that you were in the hospital. I was really worried."

Su Wanwan walked into the office and sat on the sofa with the help of Huo Yanshen: "Really? Thank you so much for your concern, Miss Lu. I wonder what the 'clue' Miss Lu just mentioned is? How about letting me hear it too?"

Lu Wei's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure: "These business matters may be complicated, and I'm afraid you won't understand them for a while."

Su Wanwan refused to give in: "Ms. Lu, don't forget, I am a top student in the business school. Even if I don't understand, please feel free to teach me."

Huo Yanshen looked at the two women who were on edge and coughed lightly: "Wanwan, you just got out of the hospital, you should have a good rest. Just let me take care of these things."

Su Wanwan held Huo Yanshen's hand: "Yan Shen, we are husband and wife. Your business is my business. Besides, this incident is obviously related to me, and I have the right to know the truth."

Seeing this, Lu Wei stood up gracefully: "It seems that I came at the wrong time. Yan Shen, if you need more information, you can contact me at any time." After that, she turned to Su Wanwan, "Wanwan, I hope you can recover soon. The Huo family needs a strong mistress now."

Su Wanwan smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Lu for your concern. I will."

Lu Wei nodded and turned to leave the office. When the door closed, Su Wanwan's smile disappeared instantly, and she turned to Huo Yanshen:

"Yan Shen, do you believe what she said?"

Huo Yanshen sat next to Su Wanwan and gently put his arm around her shoulders: "Wanwan, don't think too much. I only trust you."

Su Wanwan leaned in Huo Yanshen's arms and said softly, "I always feel that Lu Wei has bad intentions. The information she provided is likely a trap."

Huo Yanshen nodded thoughtfully: "I feel the same way. However, the information she said is indeed worth investigating."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face became serious.

"Hello, Vice President Lin. What? The stock price has dropped again? Okay, I'll be in the meeting room right away."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanshen turned to Su Wanwan: "Wanwan, something happened at the company and I have to deal with it immediately. You take a rest here first, I will be back soon."

Su Wanwan nodded: "Go ahead, don't worry about me. The company's business is more important."

Huo Yan looked at Su Wanwan deeply, then quickly left the office.

Su Wanwan was the only one left in the office. She stood up and walked slowly to the French window, overlooking the bustling city. She kept replaying Lu Wei's every move just now in her mind, and she always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, her eyes fell on Huo Yanshen's desk. A corner of a document appeared from the drawer, and the words "new energy project" could be vaguely seen on it.

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but finally walked to the desk and gently opened the drawer.

However, just as she was about to pick up the document, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Lu Wei walked in gracefully with a meaningful smile on her face:

"Wanwan, it seems that you are very interested in the company's affairs."

Su Wanwan was startled, but remained calm on the surface: "Ms. Lu, why are you back again?"

Lu Wei walked closer slowly, her eyes lingering on the exposed corner of the document for a moment: "I am here to remind you that it is best not to be too curious about some things. Otherwise, it may cause trouble for yourself and the people around you."

Su Wanwan looked directly into Lu Wei's eyes: "Miss Lu, are you threatening me?"

Lu Wei chuckled: "How could that be? I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. After all, your identity is different now. It's not easy to be Mrs. Huo."

Just as the two were on the verge of a fight, the office door was pushed open again. Huo Yanshen walked in and frowned when he saw the scene in front of him: "What are you doing..."

Lu Wei immediately put on a gentle smile: "Nothing, I just came back to pick up my leftover handbag. I happened to run into Wanwan, so we chatted a little more."

Huo Yanshen looked at the two of them thoughtfully, then said, "Lu Wei, if you have nothing else, you can go back first. The company is in a special situation right now, and I need to talk to Wanwan alone."

Lu Wei nodded gracefully: "I understand. Then I won't bother you anymore." After that, she looked at Su Wanwan meaningfully, turned around and left the office.

When the door closed again, Huo Yanshen walked to Su Wanwan and asked with concern: "Wanwan, what happened just now?"

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth: "Yan Shen, I think Lu Wei is not simple. She seems to know something, but she is unwilling to explain. I always feel that she has ulterior motives."

Huo Yanshen nodded thoughtfully: "I understand your concerns. But the company's situation is special now, and we must act carefully. Wanwan, promise me that no matter what happens, you must trust me, okay?"

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen's determined eyes and nodded gently: "I believe you, Yanshen. But..."

Before she finished her words, Huo Yanshen's phone rang again. He took a look and his expression became more serious:

“I have to attend an emergency board meeting right now. Wanwan, you should go home and get some rest. I’ll explain it to you in detail later.”

Su Wanwan wanted to say something, but seeing Huo Yanshen's anxious look, she finally just nodded: "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you to come back."

Looking at Huo Yanshen's hurriedly leaving back, Su Wanwan felt filled with uneasiness.
