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

The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became tense.

After Huo Yunting and Lu Wei were taken away, the guests talked about it a lot. Some were surprised, some were gloating, and more people were speculating about the truth behind the incident.

Su Wanwan suppressed her inner uneasiness, elegantly picked up a glass of champagne, and walked towards Mr. Huo. She knew that the most important thing now was to stabilize the situation and not let the company fall into greater chaos.

"Grandpa," Su Wanwan said softly, "Are you okay? Do you want to take a rest first?"

Mr. Huo waved his hand, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, "It's okay, this little turmoil can't bother me. But you did a good job."

Su Wanwan smiled slightly, "It's all thanks to Grandpa's good teaching."

Just then, a middle-aged man walked over, and Su Wanwan recognized him as the eldest son of the second branch of the Huo family, Huo Yunpeng.

"Father," Huo Yunpeng said respectfully, "the company is in a special situation now. Should we hold a family meeting to discuss the next steps?"

Mr. Huo narrowed his eyes, glanced at Huo Yunpeng, and then looked at Su Wanwan, "What do you think?"

Su Wanwan's heart trembled. She knew that the old man was testing her. She said calmly, "I think Uncle Yunpeng is right. However, before holding a family meeting, shouldn't we stabilize the emotions of shareholders and employees? After all, what happened today has a great impact on the company."

Mr. Huo nodded with satisfaction. "Well said. Let's do this. Wanwan, you will be responsible for handling external public relations affairs. Yunpeng, you go and contact other family members. We will hold a family meeting tomorrow morning."

The two men responded and started to act.

Su Wanwan walked aside, took out her phone and sent a message to Huo Yanshen: "The situation is under control, but I saw Lin Zhiqiang sneaking out of the banquet hall. How is it going on your side?"

Soon, Huo Yanshen replied: "Everything is going well on my side. Li Qiang has handed over all the evidence to the police. As for Lin Zhiqiang... I will send someone to keep an eye on him. Be careful."

Just as Su Wanwan put down her phone, she heard a sarcastic voice behind her: "Hey, isn't this our President Su? Why, are you reporting the battle situation to your husband now?"

Su Wanwan turned around and saw Zhong Xueying, the eldest lady of the Huo family's third branch, looking at her with a sarcastic expression.

"Sister Xueying," Su Wanwan said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Zhong Xueying sneered, "Nothing, I just want to ask, are you two tired of acting out this drama?"

Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows, "What play?"

"Why are you pretending to be confused?" Zhong Xueying lowered her voice and said, "Do you think your little trick can be hidden from everyone? I heard that you have known that there is a traitor in the company for a long time, but you have kept silent all the time. Isn't it just to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents by exposing it so publicly today?"

Su Wanwan was shocked, but she remained calm, "Sister Xueying, what do you mean by this?"

Zhong Xueying said proudly: "What I mean is, you two should not think that you can really control the overall situation. The Huo family is much more complicated than you think."

At this moment, a gentle male voice interrupted: "Xueying, you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."

Su Wanwan turned around and saw that the person coming was Huo Yunfei, the eldest son of the third branch of the Huo family.

Huo Yunfei smiled and nodded to Su Wanwan, then said to Zhong Xueying: "Father wants to see you for something, let's go over there."

Zhong Xueying looked at Su Wanwan unwillingly, and finally left with Huo Yunfei.

Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Huo Yunfei was helping her out. But at the same time, she also realized that the undercurrent within the family might be more turbulent than she had imagined.

At this moment, her phone vibrated again. It was a message from Zhang Jiaying: "Wanwan, I found some new clues about Cheng Yuan. This person has a complicated background and seems to have close ties with several politicians. You have to be careful."

Su Wanwan frowned. She was about to reply when she suddenly felt someone was watching her. She looked up and saw a strange middle-aged man looking at her thoughtfully.

The man smiled and raised his glass when Su Wanwan noticed him. Su Wanwan responded politely, but she was suspicious. Who was this person? Why did he appear at the Huo family's birthday party?

Just as she was thinking, Mr. Huo's voice came: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the old man.

"Some unpleasant things happened today," the old man said slowly, "but I believe that it will be safe. The Huo Group has experienced countless storms and will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

His eyes swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at Su Wanwan. "Our Huo family has never lacked outstanding talents. Today, I want to especially thank my granddaughter-in-law Su Wanwan. It was her wisdom and courage that helped us expose this conspiracy."

The audience burst into warm applause, but Su Wanwan felt some strange looks. She knew that these words would undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction and jealousy in some people.

The old man continued, "In view of the current special situation, I have decided that starting from tomorrow, Su Wanwan will be fully responsible for the company's crisis management. Yan Shen will fully cooperate with her. I believe that under their leadership, Huo's will be able to overcome this difficulty."

This decision is undoubtedly a great trust and support for Su Wanwan, but it also means greater pressure and challenges.

After the banquet, Su Wanwan declined the greetings from others and walked quickly to the parking lot. She knew that the most important thing now was to return to the company as soon as possible and discuss the next countermeasures with Huo Yanshen.

However, just as she was about to get on the bus, a voice called her.

"Mr. Su,"

Su Wanwan turned around and saw the strange middle-aged man from before.

"Hello," Su Wanwan said cautiously, "May I ask who you are?"

The man smiled and said, "I'm Cheng Yuan."

Su Wanwan's pupils shrank and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She didn't expect that the person who was secretly controlling everything would show up on his own initiative.

Cheng Yuan continued, "Mr. Su is indeed worthy of his reputation. His performance today left a deep impression on me."

Su Wanwan tried to remain calm, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for your compliment. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

Cheng Yuan said meaningfully: "Nothing, I just want to remind Mr. Su. Some games, once started, there is no turning back. Mr. Su, are you really ready?"

Su Wanwan was silent for a moment, then looked straight into Cheng Yuan's eyes, "Mr. Cheng, I don't know what you are talking about. But there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, I will do my best to protect the interests of the Huo Group. No matter what the cost."

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "What a good 'no matter what the cost'. Well, I'll wait and see."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Su Wanwan standing there alone, feeling upset.

After returning home, Su Wanwan told Huo Yanshen everything that happened today.

After Huo Yanshen finished listening, he frowned and said, "It seems that we underestimated the strength of our opponent. I'm afraid that Cheng Yuan is not so easy to deal with."

Su Wanwan nodded, "Besides, I always feel that there is unrest within the family. What Zhong Xueying said today..."

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, we will face it together. However, starting tomorrow you will have to take over the company's crisis management work, so you must be careful."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath, "I understand. Yan Shen, do you think... can we win?"

Huo Yanshen said firmly: "We can do it. As long as we work together, nothing is impossible."

Su Wanwan leaned in her husband's arms, but a trace of uneasiness passed through her heart.
