Chapter 114: Darling, You’re Truly Amazing—I Love You to Death

"All staff from the education division, stay behind. We need to discuss the development plan for our online education project. Everyone else, dismissed!"

"Clack, clack, clack!"

The company's management team filed out of the conference room in an orderly fashion. They knew the company's current priority was competing with the Ye family for the education market, and their only task was to keep their own departments running smoothly.

However, following Wen Wan’s appointment of Chen Luo today, the management team was buzzing with endless gossip about this new "first lady" of the company. Even the most seasoned veterans in the firm were not immune to the intrigue.

"Do you think our new boss's wife is going to 'clear out the old with the new' and take it out on us?"

"She really is young—she can't even be twenty, can she? And she’s already our Vice President. Has President Wen lost her mind to infatuation?"

"Hey, keep your voice down! Do you have a death wish, talking about President Wen like that? But I must say, this Vice President Chen does have a certain charm."

"Pah! You’re the head of the Technical Department; stop trying to sound literary when you don't have the brains for it. You don't even know how to flatter properly—that’s called being dashing and elegant."

"Oh, and I suppose you, the Head of Publicity, are planning to write an essay praising her, you sycophant."

"Quiet! Look at yourselves! I don't know if this Vice President Chen’s arrival is a blessing or a curse, but we’d all better tread carefully."

The group whispered among themselves as they headed back to their offices, planning to squeeze some information out of the education division staff later.

Meanwhile, inside the conference room, the stage was set for Chen Luo.

The General Manager of the education division and several senior executives sat in the front row, their expressions serious.

"President Wen, does keeping us here mean we are officially launching the offensive?"

Wen Wan set aside her earlier smile. Without answering, she looked toward Chen Luo.

"Everyone, let me reintroduce you. Vice President Chen Luo is not only my partner, but he is also the founder and mastermind behind the online education project you are currently working on."

"The strategies and plans you have in your hands all came from him. From now on, he will have full authority to direct your work."

Upon hearing Wen Wan's introduction, the people present showed expressions of utter disbelief.

What? This project was proposed by this boy, who wasn't even twenty?

The people in the room were veterans who had spent years deep in the education industry. To their eyes, it was no exaggeration to say that this project possessed epoch-making significance, even just in its initial concept and starting point.

If the subsequent operations were managed correctly, there was a real chance of swallowing the lion's share of the education industry’s profits along the southeastern coast in one fell swoop.

Chen Luo glanced at Wen Wan, who offered him a reassuring smile. He knew this was a stage set specifically for him to establish his authority.

Previously, Wen Wan had been solely responsible for the project's early stages. While he had provided the initial concept and some guidance, that was as far as it went.

However, they couldn't be told that. Being known only as Wen Wan’s boyfriend would never win these people over. Without real substance and the ability to command them, he would never be able to control the big picture.

He could not let her down after she had created such a perfect opportunity for him.

"Everyone, we are about to fight a tough battle, and I will be fighting alongside you. I have a few points for you to follow."

"First, reassign twenty senior teachers to conduct 24-hour non-stop open lectures on all major platforms for the next month."

"Second, during the platform's operation, the focus must be on breaking information asymmetry by integrating academic knowledge with college application counseling."

"Third, send publicity personnel to major schools in the southeast for free presentations and consultations. We must cover the best elementary, middle, and high schools in every county."

"Fourth, do not deliberately provoke conflict with the Ye family’s education company. No matter what they do, just focus on executing these three points. Is that understood?"

"Yes! Understood!"

The executives stood up in unison, their eyes toward Chen Luo having completely changed.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

"Vice President Chen is truly a hero among youth."

Yan Xuan, the General Manager of the education division, stood up to lead the applause, looking at Chen Luo with genuine admiration.

Judging by the four points just proposed, this newly appointed Vice President wasn't just some empty vessel brought in through nepotism; he had real talent, and his level of expertise was far from low.

The four points sounded simple, but they were actually a tightly interlocked strategic plan.

The open lectures were meant to capture users from the traditional education industry while promoting the brand, forcing them to form the habit of using an online platform.

Breaking information asymmetry wasn't just to be different; it was to cultivate a noble image of an educational institution that prioritized the students above all else.

The lecture tours were the next step, maximizing the conversion of students from top schools into potential users.

As for the fourth point, it seemed simple and even cowardly, but it was the most important one.

Focus only on your own business. Even if the Ye family attacked, ignore them.

No matter how many directions they come from, I will only go my own way. Only by doing this could they maintain the initiative.

With just a few simple sentences, he had laid out both the strategy and the execution. Such command was no less than that of an old hand like him, who had been grinding in the education industry for years.

"You flatter me, General Manager Yan. Please, arrange an office for me at your company. I will come in daily starting tomorrow to follow up on the progress."

"That goes without saying, of course."

Cool-headed and composed—was this young man really not even twenty years old?

Nearby, Wen Wan looked at Chen Luo with eyes full of pride and affection. Mo Lan, standing not far away, felt the urge to go over and whisper: "President Wen! Please restrain yourself! Your gaze is literally melting!"

Yan Xuan and the executives exchanged pleasantries with Chen Luo for a while longer, expressing that he was welcome to come and guide their work at any time, before finally departing.

Afterward, Chen Luo followed Wen Wan to her executive office.

As they stepped inside, before Chen Luo could even look around, a soft "click" sounded as Wen Wan locked the door behind them.

Chen Luo was wondering why she had locked the door when he heard a sudden thud.

Wen Wan’s slender arms had slammed against the wall on either side of his head—a perfect "kabedon."

She cupped his face with one hand, looking into his eyes with an intensity of affection that could not be melted away.

"Baby, you were absolutely amazing just now. I think I’m going to die of love for you!"

"As a reward, come here—give me a kiss!"
