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

Chapter 61: Trial of the Wealthy Family, Undercurrents

The news that Huo's Group successfully acquired the new energy company was like a bombshell, causing a huge sensation in the business world. Major media outlets rushed to report that this was another business miracle of Huo Yanshen. However, for Su Wanwan, the joy brought by this victory had not completely dissipated, and new challenges had quietly arrived.

"Wanwan, the old man wants to see you." Huo Yanshen put down the phone and looked at his wife with a complicated expression.

Su Wanwan was sorting out documents and was startled when she heard this: "Old man? Why are you suddenly..."

Huo Yanshen walked to Su Wanwan and gently held her hand: "I don't know the specific reason. But don't worry, I'm here."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and gave a forced smile: "It's okay, I'm not that fragile. Since the old man wants to see me, let's go now."

The Huo family's old house was still solemn and dignified, and the antique decoration showed the family's heritage and financial strength. When Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan walked into the study, Mr. Huo was standing in front of the window with his back to them, overlooking the garden.

"Are you here?" Mr. Huo said in a low and majestic voice without turning around.

"Yes, grandpa." Huo Yanshen answered respectfully, and at the same time gently squeezed Su Wanwan's hand, giving her silent support.

Mr. Huo then slowly turned around and looked at Su Wanwan with sharp eyes: "Girl, I heard that you contributed a lot to the acquisition of the new energy company this time?"

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, but she remained calm: "I just did my best, it was mainly Yan Shen's decision and the team's efforts."

Mr. Huo snorted: "Being modest is a good thing, but being too modest is hypocrisy. Since you are already the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, you should learn to take responsibility."

Su Wanwan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. Seeing this, Huo Yanshen was about to speak, but was stopped by Old Man Huo.

"Yan Shen, please go out first. I have something to say to your wife alone."

Huo Yanshen hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Wanwan, who nodded slightly, indicating that she had no problem.

After Huo Yanshen left, the atmosphere in the study became more solemn. Old Master Huo walked slowly to Su Wanwan and looked down at her.

"Girl, do you know what it means to be the daughter-in-law of the Huo family?"

Su Wanwan straightened her back and looked directly into Mr. Huo's eyes: "It means responsibility and obligation. I must support Yan Shen wholeheartedly and contribute my own strength to the Huo family's cause."

A hint of approval flashed across Mr. Huo's eyes, but he quickly returned to his serious tone: "Well said, but words alone are not enough. I want to see your actions."

He walked to the desk, picked up a document and handed it to Su Wanwan: "This is a project we are about to invest in. Take a look and see what you think."

Su Wanwan took the document and read it carefully. This is a comprehensive project involving multiple fields, including real estate, high-tech, and medical industries. The project is so complex that even experienced business elites need to spend a lot of time researching it.

"Grandpa, this project..." Su Wanwan just opened her mouth and was interrupted by Grandpa Huo.

"I don't want to hear your thoughts now. Three days later, I want to see your detailed analysis report and investment suggestions for this project. Remember, this is not only related to billions of investments, but also to the future development direction of the Huo Group."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath. It was an impossible task to study such a complicated project in three days. But looking at Mr. Huo's stern eyes, she knew she had no choice.

"I understand, old man. I will do my best to complete this task."

Mr. Huo nodded: "Very good. Remember, the daughter-in-law of the Huo family must not only be capable, but also responsible. This is just the first test, and there will be more challenges waiting for you in the future."

When leaving the old house, Su Wanwan's mind was in a mess. Huo Yanshen saw her worry and asked softly: "What did grandpa say to you?"

Su Wanwan smiled bitterly and told her husband what Grandpa Huo wanted. Huo Yanshen frowned after hearing this and said, "I have only heard a little about this project. Why would Grandpa suddenly ask you to analyze it?"

"I guess this might be a test from the old man." Su Wanwan sighed, "Yan Shen, what should I do? Three days is not enough."

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will help you. We will stay up all night together to finish this report."

Su Wanwan shook her head: "No, the old man will definitely know. This is a test of my personal ability, I must complete it myself."

Looking at his wife's determined eyes, Huo Yanshen felt both distressed and proud: "Okay, but if you need any help, be sure to tell me."

For the next three days, Su Wanwan barely left her house, immersed in researching the complex project. She consulted a large amount of information, contacted many industry experts, and even analyzed data all night long. Although Huo Yanshen felt distressed, he could only support her silently, making coffee and preparing midnight snacks for his wife.

Finally, on the evening of the third day, Su Wanwan completed a hundred-page project analysis report. She handed the report to Mr. Huo tiredly but confidently.

Mr. Huo took the report and read it carefully. As he read deeper, his brows sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed. During the whole process, Su Wanwan's heart was hanging in her throat, fearing that her efforts would not be recognized.

Finally, Mr. Huo closed the report and cast a sharp gaze on Su Wanwan: "Not bad, better than I expected. But..."

He changed the subject and his tone became more severe: "It is not enough to just complete the task. A true business elite must be able to see into the future and foresee risks. Although your report is comprehensive, it lacks foresight."

Su Wanwan's heart sank. She was about to open her mouth to explain, but Mr. Huo waved his hand and said, "However, considering that you only took three days, this result is already very good."

He stood up and walked to Su Wanwan: "Girl, remember how you felt today. In the business world, never think that you are good enough. Only by constantly surpassing yourself can you gain a foothold in this cruel world."

Su Wanwan nodded solemnly: "I understand, old man. Thank you for your teaching."

Mr. Huo showed a rare smile: "Go and have a good rest. There will be new tasks waiting for you tomorrow."

After leaving the study, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Huo Yanshen had been waiting outside, and when he saw his wife coming out, he immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "How is it? Is Grandpa satisfied?"

Su Wanwan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Just barely passed. But this seems to be just the beginning."

Huo Yanshen hugged his wife's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I believe you can get through these tests."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face became serious: "It's the company. It seems something happened again."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened. She knew that compared to Mr. Huo's test, the storms in the business world were the real challenge. And this might just be the calm before the storm.

She took a deep breath and said firmly: "Let's go and see it together. No matter what happens, we have to face it together."

Huo Yan looked at his wife deeply moved and nodded, "Okay, let's go together."

The two walked hand in hand to the parking lot, ready to face the next challenge.
