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

As night fell, Su Wanwan stood at the door of the high-end club and took a deep breath. She knew that tonight's meeting might change everything. Pushing open the heavy wooden door, she walked into the dimly lit hall.

"Miss Su, please come this way." A waiter led her to a secluded private room.

Pushing the door open, she saw Cheng Yuan sitting inside with a glass of red wine in front of him.

"Ms. Su, please take a seat." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, but there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Su Wanwan sat down cautiously and looked at the other party warily. "Mr. Cheng, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Cheng Yuan chuckled, "Don't be so nervous, we're just chatting." He poured Su Wanwan a glass of wine, "Come on, cheers to our friendly cooperation."

Su Wanwan didn't touch the glass of wine. "Mr. Cheng, there has never been any friendship between us. What do you want to say?"

Cheng Yuan's smile faded. "Ms. Su, you are very smart. I will tell you straight away. I want to acquire your company."

Su Wanwan was shocked, but she remained calm. "Mr. Cheng, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Our company is doing well now and does not need to be acquired."

Cheng Yuan sneered, "Really? Then how do you explain the recent loss of those big customers? Also, I heard that your capital chain is very tight."

Su Wanwan clenched her fists. “That’s just a temporary difficulty. We’ll get through it soon.”

"Don't fool yourself, Miss Su." Cheng Yuan leaned forward, "I have a suggestion for you. Take the initiative to withdraw, and I can give you a lot of compensation. Otherwise, when I succeed in the forced acquisition, you may not even be able to keep your job."

Su Wanwan stood up and said, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for your kindness. However, we will not succumb to any threats. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Just as she turned to leave, Cheng Yuan suddenly asked, "Was your father's death really just an accident?"

Su Wanwan turned back suddenly, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Yuan smiled mysteriously. "Nothing. I just want to remind you that some things are not as simple as they seem. Please consider my proposal carefully, Miss Su."

After leaving the club, Su Wanwan sat in the car, trembling all over. Cheng Yuan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing her heart. Was there really a hidden story behind her father's death? She shook her head, trying to get rid of this terrible thought.

When she returned home, Su Wanwan found Huo Yanshen waiting for her in the living room.

"How is it?" he asked eagerly.

Su Wanwan simply recounted her conversation with Cheng Yuan, but omitted the part about her father.

Huo Yanshen frowned, "It seems that Cheng Yuan is determined to swallow up our company. We must take action as soon as possible."

Su Wanwan nodded. “You’re right. But…” She hesitated. “I was thinking, maybe we should consider other options.”

"What do you mean?" Huo Yanshen looked at her puzzledly.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath, "Maybe... maybe we should consider selling the company."

Huo Yanshen looked at her in shock. "Are you kidding? This is your father's hard work!"

“I know!” Su Wanwan suddenly raised her voice, “But you can see the current situation. We may lose everything! At least if we sell the company, we can still keep some of the assets.”

Huo Yanshen was silent for a while, then said, "Su Wanwan, what's wrong with you? This is not like you."

Su Wanwan avoided his gaze, "I just... I don't know what to do."

Huo Yanshen approached her and gently held her hand. "Listen, I know you are under pressure. But we can't just give up. Your father wouldn't want to see this result."

When Su Wanwan mentioned her father, her tears suddenly welled up. She leaned on Huo Yanshen's shoulder and cried silently.

Huo Yanshen gently stroked her back, "It's okay, everything will be fine. Let's face it together, okay?"

Su Wanwan raised her head and looked at Huo Yanshen's concerned eyes. She suddenly felt warm. She nodded, "Thank you, Huo Yanshen."

The next morning, when Su Wanwan woke up, she found herself lying on the sofa with a blanket covering her. She looked around and saw Huo Yanshen busy in the kitchen.

"Good morning," Huo Yanshen came over with two cups of coffee, "Are you feeling better?"

Su Wanwan took the coffee and smiled gratefully, "Well, thank you. I'm sorry for losing control last night."

Huo Yanshen shook his head, "Don't say that. You are under too much pressure."

The two drank coffee in silence, each thinking about their next plan.

Suddenly, Su Wanwan put down the cup, "I have an idea."

Huo Yanshen looked up at her, "What do you think?"

"We can't just sit there and wait for death," Su Wanwan said, with determination in her eyes. "I have to take the initiative and look for new business opportunities."

Huo Yanshen nodded, "That's a good idea. What are you going to do?"

“I will personally visit some potential customers and partners,” Su Wanwan said. “At the same time, we also need to stabilize existing customer relationships.”

"I agree," Huo Yanshen said, "but you may not be able to handle it alone. Do you need my help?"

Su Wanwan shook her head. "No, you focus on the company's internal affairs. I'll be in charge of external relations."

Huo Yanshen hesitated for a moment, "Okay. But be careful, Cheng Yuan may make a move at any time."

Su Wanwan nodded, "I know. I will always be vigilant."

In the next few days, Su Wanwan rushed between various companies. She visited several old clients she had worked with before and tried to regain their trust. At the same time, she was also looking for new cooperation opportunities.

However, things did not go smoothly. Many companies expressed concerns about the current situation of the Su Group and were unwilling to take the risk of cooperation.

One afternoon, Su Wanwan walked out of a company building tiredly. This was the fifth company she had visited that day, and she still hadn't made any progress.

Just then, her cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

“Hello?”

"Is this Miss Su Wanwan?" A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone, "I am Wang He from Qingsong Technology. I heard that you are looking for new partners recently?"

Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, "Yes. May I ask who you are...?"

“Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself.” Wang He smiled and said, “I am the CEO of Qingsong Technology. Our company is currently developing a new project and may need your company’s technical support. I wonder if you are interested in chatting?”

Su Wanwan's heartbeat quickened. "Of course, I'm interested. When would it be convenient for us to meet?"

"Great," Wang He said, "How about tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock in our company?"

After agreeing on the time and place, Su Wanwan hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was a glimmer of hope.

Back at the company, Su Wanwan immediately began to prepare for tomorrow's meeting. She carefully studied the background of Qingsong Technology and the technical support they might need.

Just when she was busy, Huo Yanshen walked into her office.

"I heard that you are going to meet someone from Qingsong Technology tomorrow?" he asked.

Su Wanwan looked up, a little surprised, "How did you know?"

Huo Yanshen shrugged, "I'll have someone monitor your schedule for safety reasons."

Su Wanwan frowned, "Huo Yanshen, I don't need you to monitor me."

"I'm not spying on you," Huo Yanshen explained, "I'm just worried about your safety. Cheng Yuan is always watching us."

Su Wanwan sighed, "I know you mean well. But I can take care of myself."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a while, then said: "Okay. But if you have any questions, be sure to tell me in time."

Su Wanwan nodded, "I will. Thank you for your concern."

Huo Yanshen turned to leave, but suddenly stopped. "Oh, I found some information about Cheng Yuan. He has been in frequent contact with some government officials recently. He may be planning something big."

Su Wanwan frowned, "What do you think he wants to do?"

Huo Yanshen shook his head. "It's not clear yet. But we must remain vigilant."

After seeing Huo Yanshen off, Su Wanwan leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.
