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

The awkward atmosphere in the park seemed to freeze time. Su Wanwan, Huo Yanshen and Lu Wei stood there, with an indescribable sense of tension in the air.

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence. He glanced at the caller ID and his face changed slightly: "It's Grandpa."

After answering the phone, Huo Yanshen turned to Su Wanwan: "Grandpa said there is an important business dinner tonight and wants us to attend together."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened. She knew that this would be her first time to officially appear on the business stage as the young mistress of the Huo Group.

After returning to the Huo family, Su Wanwan immediately began to prepare for the dinner. She carefully selected her evening dress, recalling every detail that Li Yuhua had taught her.

"Remember," she said to herself in the mirror, "in the business world, every look and every move can affect a deal."

At 7pm, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan arrived at the banquet on time. The hall was filled with people drinking and chatting, and the air was filled with the smell of luxury and power.

"Don't be nervous," Huo Yanshen whispered in her ear, "You will do well."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath, took Huo Yanshen's arm, and walked into the venue gracefully. She noticed that some eyes were already on them.

"Mr. Huo," a middle-aged man came over and greeted him warmly, "Is this your wife? I have heard of your name for a long time."

Su Wanwan smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello, I'm Su Wanwan."

"Chairman Wang," Huo Yanshen introduced, "from Oasis Group."

Su Wanwan's heart moved. She remembered that this name was mentioned in the information provided by Zhang Jiaying. Oasis Group is currently looking for new investment projects.

"Mr. Wang," Su Wanwan said tentatively, "I heard that your company is very interested in the field of new energy recently?"

Chairman Wang's eyes lit up: "Mrs. Su is indeed well-informed. Indeed, we are considering this direction."

Just as Su Wanwan was about to continue the topic, a waiter walked by with a glass of champagne. She reached out to take it, but accidentally touched the goblet next to her, making a crisp sound.

"I'm sorry," Su Wanwan was a little flustered and apologized quickly.

Chairman Wang smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, this kind of thing happens all the time."

Although this little episode was resolved, Su Wanwan felt her face getting hot. She secretly reminded herself to be more careful.

After the dinner officially started, Su Wanwan was arranged at an important round table. On her left was a well-known entrepreneur, and on her right was a foreign investor.

“Excuse me,” the foreign investor asked in Chinese with a slight accent, “what do you think of the recent trend of the A-share market?”

Su Wanwan was speechless for a moment. Although she had done her homework before, her understanding of the stock market was still too shallow. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is an interesting question. I think the market is always full of variables, and we need to observe carefully."

The investor seemed dissatisfied with this ambiguous answer and turned to chat with other people.

Su Wanwan was secretly upset. She realized that she still needed to learn more.

During the meal, Su Wanwan noticed that there were many kinds of cutlery on the table. She recalled what she had learned in etiquette class and carefully selected the appropriate tableware.

However, when she was cutting a particularly tender steak, her knife accidentally slipped and made a harsh sound. Several people looked at her at the same time, and Su Wanwan felt embarrassed.

At this moment, Huo Yanshen appeared beside her in time: "Wanwan, come, let me introduce you to Mr. Li."

Su Wanwan looked at her husband with gratitude and followed him towards a woman with extraordinary temperament.

"Mr. Li, this is my wife, Su Wanwan." Huo Yanshen introduced, "Wanwan, Mr. Li is the chairman of Mingzhu Group and has made great achievements in the jewelry industry."

Su Wanwan's eyes lit up. She remembered that she was very interested in jewelry design when she was in college and had done relevant research.

"Hello, Mr. Li," Su Wanwan said with a smile, "I have always admired Mingzhu Group's design concept. Especially last year's 'Moonlight' series, which perfectly combined traditional elements with modern aesthetics. It was really impressive."

Mr. Li looked at her in surprise: "Mrs. Su also studies jewelry?"

Su Wanwan said modestly: "It's just a personal interest. I once wrote a paper on jewelry design and cultural heritage, and was inspired by it a lot."

Mr. Li became interested: "Oh? Can you tell me more about it?"

In this way, Su Wanwan and Mr. Li started chatting about jewelry design, and Mr. Li was very impressed by her enthusiasm and insights.

“Mrs. Su,” Mr. Li said finally, “your idea is very innovative. If you are interested, we can further explore the possibility of cooperation.”

Su Wanwan was delighted, but she remembered to remain reserved: "That's great, Mr. Li. I'm looking forward to this opportunity."

Just when Su Wanwan was feeling delighted about her small success, an accident happened.

She turned around to go back to her seat but accidentally bumped into a waiter, who spilled the red wine on her expensive dress.

"Oh my God!" There were exclamations all around.

Su Wanwan stood there in a daze, feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on her. Her face instantly turned red.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "It's okay, this kind of thing is bound to happen."

Su Wanwan looked up and saw Lu Wei walking towards her gracefully with a handkerchief in her hand.

"Come, let's go to the bathroom and take care of it." Lu Wei said gently, but there was a flash of emotion in her eyes that Su Wanwan couldn't understand.

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Wanwan followed Lu Wei out of the hall. She knew that she had made too many mistakes that night and might have affected the image of the Huo family.

But what made her even more uneasy was Lu Wei's sudden appearance and help. In this world of intrigue and deception, there may be deep meaning behind every move.

Entering the bathroom, Lu Wei carefully helped Su Wanwan clean the stains on her dress.

“Don’t worry,” Lu Wei said softly, “It’s inevitable to be nervous when you attend this kind of event for the first time. You’ve done very well.”

Su Wanwan looked at Lu Wei warily, not knowing how to respond to this sudden kindness.

Just then, she noticed that Lu Wei was wearing an exquisite bracelet on her wrist. The design reminded her of the USB flash drive that the mysterious man gave her in the park.

Su Wanwan was shocked. Could it be that Lu Wei was related to that mysterious man?

She forced herself to calm down and gave a grateful smile: "Thank you, Miss Lu. I still have a lot to learn."

Lu Wei gave her a meaningful look: "I believe you will learn quickly, Mrs. Su. After all, in this circle, adaptability is the most important thing."

Su Wanwan nodded, but in her heart she was thinking about the possible hidden meaning in Lu Wei's words.

Just as the two were about to return to the banquet hall, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw a text message from an unfamiliar number:

“Don’t trust anyone. The truth is right in front of you.”

Su Wanwan's heart beat faster. She looked up at Lu Wei, who was fixing her makeup in front of the mirror and didn't seem to notice her abnormality.

At this moment, Su Wanwan realized that her first appearance in the business world was not only a social test, but also a dangerous game involving the truth.

She took a deep breath and tidied her appearance. No matter what was waiting for her ahead, she had to face it bravely. Because she knew that only by standing firm in this complicated world of the rich and powerful could she find the answers to all her problems.

"Let's go," Su Wanwan said to Lu Wei, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "Let's go back."

Lu Wei smiled and nodded, and the two of them walked out of the bathroom together and re-entered the business stage full of opportunities and dangers.
