Su Wanwan sat in Huo Yanshen's car, the neon lights of the city flickered in the night, like a restless dream. She felt complicated, feeling relieved because she accepted Huo Yanshen's conditions, but also uneasy because she was about to lose control of the company.

"Regret it?" Huo Yanshen's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Su Wanwan shook her head, "No. It's just... everything happened too fast, I need time to digest it."

Huo Yanshen nodded, "I understand. But Miss Su, I hope you understand that I took over the Su Group not just for profit. I value your potential."

Su Wanwan looked at him in surprise, "My potential?"

"That's right." Huo Yanshen's eyes were deep. "You can still persist in such a difficult situation, and even go to work part-time in a nightclub. This kind of resilience and determination is not possessed by many people. I believe that as long as you are given the right platform, you will definitely become an outstanding entrepreneur."

Su Wanwan was silent. She didn't expect Huo Yanshen to look at her like this.

The car stopped at the entrance of the Su family villa. Huo Yanshen turned to Su Wanwan and said, "Have a good rest. We will go to the company tomorrow to handle the handover."

Su Wanwan nodded and opened the car door. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Huo Yanshen suddenly said, "By the way, don't go to that kind of place again. It's too dangerous."

Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "Thank you."

Watching Huo Yanshen's car disappear into the night, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that starting tomorrow, her life would completely change.

The next morning, Su Wanwan received a call from Xiao Wang.

"Boss Su, this is bad! The people from the bank are here again and they want to seize our assets immediately!"

Su Wanwan frowned, "Didn't you say you would give us three days?"

"They said there are new instructions from above that must be implemented immediately. Mr. Su, what should we do now?"

Su Wanwan bit her lip and said, "I'll be there soon. You hold them back first."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan immediately called Huo Yanshen. However, no one answered the call.

"How could this happen..." Su Wanwan muttered to herself. She had just agreed to accept Huo Yanshen's conditions last night, and today she encountered this situation. Did Huo Yanshen regret it?

Without time to think, Su Wanwan rushed to the company. The lobby was already in chaos, with the bank staff arguing with the security guard.

"Mr. Su!" When Xiao Wang saw Su Wanwan, he felt like he had seen a savior.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and stepped forward. "Everyone, if you have any questions, we can talk about it. Why did you suddenly seize our assets?"

The middle-aged man in the lead sneered, "Ms. Su, we have given you too much time. Now there are new instructions from above, which must be implemented immediately. Unless you can come up with money to pay off all the loans now, we can only seize your assets."

Su Wanwan bit her lip, her brain working rapidly. At this moment, she had an idea.

“Give me half an hour.” Su Wanwan said, “If I still can’t come up with the money after half an hour, you can just seal it up.”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

Su Wanwan immediately turned around and left, making a phone call.

"Hello, is this Financial Street Nightclub? I'm Su Wanwan. I'd like to ask if you're still short of staff tonight?"

Half an hour later, Su Wanwan returned to the company lobby with a stack of cash in her hand.

"This is the salary that the nightclub gave me in advance." Su Wanwan said, "Although it's not much, at least I can pay back part of it first. I hope you can give me some more time. I promise to pay off all the loans as soon as possible."

The people in the bank looked at each other in surprise. They obviously didn't expect Su Wanwan to be able to raise the money in such a short time.

At this moment, Huo Yanshen suddenly appeared in the hall.

"Sorry, I'm late." Huo Yanshen walked to Su Wanwan, then turned to the bank staff, "Everyone, I think we have some misunderstandings. Regarding the Su Group's loan, the Huo Group has decided to fully guarantee it. The relevant documents are being prepared and will be sent to your bank soon."

When the people at the bank heard the news, their faces suddenly changed. Everyone knew the strength of the Huo Group. With Huo's guarantee, Su's loan instantly became a high-quality asset.

"Mr. Huo, this...we have to report this to our superiors." The middle-aged man stammered.

Huo Yanshen nodded, "Of course. You can go back first, and we will send the documents directly to the bank when they are ready."

After seeing off the bank staff, Su Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Huo Yanshen and said, "Thank you. But... where did you go just now? Why can't I get through on the phone?"

Huo Yanshen looked apologetic. "Sorry, I was just discussing the details of the acquisition with my lawyer. My phone is out of battery."

Su Wanwan nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, this is the money I just raised. Although it's not much..."

Huo Yanshen looked at the cash in her hand, frowning, "You didn't go to that nightclub again, did you?"

Su Wanwan lowered her head. "I...I had no choice. The situation was urgent at the time, and this was the only solution I could think of."

Huo Yanshen sighed, "Su Wanwan, you have to understand that your identity is different now. As someone who is about to become a partner of Huo's, you can no longer do such dangerous things."

Su Wanwan looked up at Huo Yanshen, a hint of stubbornness flashed in her eyes, "I know. But before the official handover, I am still the head of the Su Group. I have the responsibility to protect this company and my employees."

Huo Yanshen looked at her deeply and suddenly laughed, "You are such an interesting woman, Su Wanwan. However, if you encounter any problems in the future, just tell me directly. Don't do such risky things again."

Su Wanwan nodded, but she felt mixed emotions. She knew that from today on, she would no longer be the Su Wanwan who could do anything for the company.

In the evening, Su Wanwan came to the Financial Street nightclub alone. She stood at the door, looking at the bustling crowd, and suddenly felt dazed.

"Miss Su, you're here?" The nightclub owner greeted her warmly, "Business is especially good tonight, you've come at the right time!"

Su Wanwan shook her head. "Sorry, I'm here to resign. This is the salary you gave me in advance, and I'm here to pay it back."

The boss was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss Su, you don't have to be so polite. Just consider that money as compensation for you. After all, you helped us solve a lot of problems."

Su Wanwan looked at the boss in surprise, "What do you mean?"

The boss smiled mysteriously, "Ms. Su, why do you think Mr. Huo appeared in our store? He is a frequent customer of ours. He came last night just to see you."

Su Wanwan was stunned. She suddenly realized that last night's encounter was probably not a coincidence.

Just then, a drunk man suddenly bumped into Su Wanwan.

"Hey, isn't this the little beauty from last night?" The man put his arm around Su Wanwan's waist and said, "Will you have a drink with me tonight?"

Su Wanwan frowned and was about to break free when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Let her go.”

Su Wanwan looked up and saw Huo Yanshen standing not far away, staring at the drunk man with cold eyes.

The drunk man obviously recognized Huo Yanshen and was so scared that he immediately let go of his hand and staggered away.

Huo Yanshen walked up to Su Wanwan and said, "I told you not to come to this kind of place again."

Su Wanwan looked into Huo Yanshen's eyes and suddenly asked, "Have you been following me?"

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then said: "I'm just worried about your safety."

Su Wanwan didn't know what to say. She felt touched and a little complicated.

"Let's go," Huo Yanshen said, "I'll take you home."

After leaving the nightclub and sitting in Huo Yanshen's car, Su Wanwan suddenly said, "Thank you, Mr. Huo. But you don't have to do this again in the future. I can take care of myself."

Huo Yanshen glanced at her and said, "I know. But Su Wanwan, you have to understand that from today on, you are no longer fighting alone. We are partners, and your business is my business."

Su Wanwan was silent. She knew that Huo Yanshen was right. But deep down, she still hoped to maintain some independence.

The car stopped at the entrance of the Su family villa. Huo Yanshen turned to Su Wanwan and said, "Have a good rest. We still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow."

Su Wanwan nodded and opened the car door. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Huo Yanshen suddenly said, "Su Wanwan, remember, no matter what happens, you are not alone."

Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "Thank you."

Watching Huo Yanshen's car disappear into the night, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that from today on, her life would enter a new stage.

But she also understood that this invisible war had just begun. With Huo Yanshen as a powerful ally, perhaps she finally had a glimmer of hope to uncover the truth behind her father's death and rebuild the glory of the Su Group.

Standing at the door of the villa, Su Wanwan looked up at the starry sky.
