Chapter 153: As Long as You Are Happy, What Does It Matter If Ten Billion Vanishes Overnight?

Seeing Wen Wan return to take charge of the situation, the company executives present all breathed a collective sigh of relief.

At this moment, Hongye quickly took out her tablet and began her report.

"Reporting to President Wen! Reporting to President Chen!"

"Last night, our public opinion attack operation against the stock of the Ye Group was completely suppressed."

Hearing this, Wen Wan's expression remained completely unchanged.

"If Elena Ye didn't even have this much capability, she wouldn't be Elena Ye. This is normal, no need to panic."

"Yes, President Wen, but the Ye Group launched a counterattack at the same time, targeting the stocks of several of our subsidiary companies. Our stock prices have already started to fluctuate."

"Furthermore, their online courses are continuing to gain momentum, and their view counts and influence are gradually pulling away from ours."

"And most importantly, their offline educational institutions have also started large-scale publicity and promotions. If this continues, it will disrupt our foundational promotional plans."

Hearing the most crucial point, Wen Wan raised an eyebrow.

"Was our covert strategy discovered? No, if it had been discovered, their counterattack wouldn't be focused just like this."

"It seems Elena Ye is truly furious this time. Is she planning to completely crush us?"

At this point, a smile appeared at the corner of Wen Wan's mouth—a smile containing both disdain and madness!

"Very well, I accept the challenge!"

Everyone present was extremely familiar with this smile.

It meant that President Wen was about to get serious. Now, the twin prodigies of the capital were about to settle the score right here in the southeast coastal region.

"Wait, Wan'er."

Chen Luo spoke up at this moment, turning his head to look at Wen Wan.

"What is it?"

"Let me handle this battle."

Hearing these words, the expressions of all the executives in the room changed drastically.

No way! What are you saying?

That is the eldest miss of the Ye family!

She is the commercial prodigy known alongside President Wen as one of the twin prodigies of the capital!

She is the reigning empress of the business world who has never tasted defeat in the ten years since she entered commerce!

You have no idea what kind of elite figures have fallen to her defeat over the years.

Honestly, even with someone like President Wen going up against her, the outcome would still be uncertain!

We admit that you do possess a certain business talent, and your insights and perspectives are quite unique.

However, you have never commanded such a massive conglomerate to fight someone else. Business warfare is extremely complex; it is not something a beginner under the age of twenty can master.

What's more, the one coming with overwhelming momentum this time is the Empress Elena Ye. One misstep, and it could mean a disastrous defeat with tens of billions in market value evaporating overnight.

It could even cause President Wen's entire business empire to collapse completely!

At this moment, Sun Chengcai, another vice president of the company, spoke up.

"Well, Vice President Chen showing such courage by volunteering to face the Ye Group's offensive is truly commendable."

"However, since the opponent is coming with such formidable momentum and the stakes are so high, we should perhaps be a bit more prudent."

True to being a veteran of the company, his remarks were watertight.

Not only did he avoid offending Chen Luo—the "boss's husband"—but he also voiced everyone's concerns.

In short, even as President Wen's boyfriend, you Chen Luo cannot act so recklessly; seeking glory through grandiose actions is wrong!

Everyone cast their gazes toward Wen Wan, eager to know her decision.

Ignoring the glances of the others, Wen Wan simply smiled as she looked at Chen Luo and took his hand.

"Very well. This time I won't interfere. All decisions will be made by you alone!"

With that, Chen Luo motioned for Hongye to hand over the documents, lowered his head, and began to read.

Silence fell over the entire conference room for a full three seconds. Everyone exchanged glances, and Sun Chengcai, seated at the front, still wanted to offer advice.

No, they absolutely could not let Chen Luo take full command of this intensely fierce battle. One wrong move, and the entire conglomerate would be dragged down with it.

"My mind is made up! No need to try and persuade me."

As her words fell, Sun Chengcai opened his mouth, but ultimately no words came out.

As one of the veterans who had followed Wen Wan the longest, he knew her temperament. Once she uttered those words, no one in this world could change her decision.

"But... but the stakes are too high. A single misstep will cause the group to suffer catastrophic losses."

The financial director, also an old-timer, couldn't help but speak up.

"Any losses, any responsibility, I will bear it all!"

"All of you only need to follow Chen Luo's instructions."

"Understood! Yes!"

"Very well, you are all dismissed to make your preparations."

Before leaving the conference room, everyone present cast a strange glance at Chen Luo, the same thought rising in their minds:

Ancient history had King You of Zhou playing with beacon fires to amuse his beauties; today, President Wen is blinded by beauty and entrusts the fate of the realm.

Were ancient figures like Bao Si, Daji, and Yang Guifei the equivalent of this disastrous beauty Chen Luo?

Once everyone had left, Wen Wan brought a cup of coffee to Chen Luo, sat quietly beside him, and gazed at his profile with a look of infatuation.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Luo finished reading all the documents before him and let out a long breath.

"Phew! I've read it all. Honestly, the opponent is throwing their full might into this attack."

"Yes, indeed. It's rare for Elena Ye to be this serious; her strike will undoubtedly be as swift and devastating as thunder."

Saying this, Chen Luo picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"Ah, the coffee Wan'er brews is truly fragrant. Drinking it is especially refreshing."

"Good. If you like it, I'll brew it for you every day."

Wen Wan rested her chin in her hands, smiling like a little girl who had just received praise.

"To be honest, even I don't have absolute confidence that I can win this battle, especially since this is my first time commanding such a massive conglomerate."

"Wan'er, aren't you worried I might accidentally drive you into bankruptcy?"

Hearing this, Wen Wan covered her mouth with a chuckle, extended her index finger, and gently hooked Chen Luo's chin.

"I knew that since you volunteered to take the lead, you must have already had a plan in mind."

"Besides, this is also a rare practical combat opportunity. You can apply everything I've taught you recently, allowing your practical execution skills to advance by leaps and bounds overnight."

Hearing this, Chen Luo sheepishly rubbed his nose.

This was indeed what he had considered. During this period, Wen Wan and he had spent day and night together; it wasn't just about romance, but more often, Wen Wan imparting various cognitive insights and business experiences to him.

When it came to him, Wen Wan held nothing back, sharing everything without keeping any secrets.

One could say his theoretical level had improved tremendously, and combined with his era-transcending perspective,

even facing Elena Ye head-on, he still held a sliver of confidence.

"And..."

At this, Wen Wan leaned forward, pressing her left ear against Chen Luo's left chest, closing her eyes to listen to his heartbeat.

"A heartbeat mixed with excitement and thrill—it sounds wonderful."

Slowly raising her head, she met Chen Luo's gaze from below.

"As long as you are happy, what does it matter if tens of billions evaporate overnight?"

Hearing these words, Chen Luo's heart was struck profoundly.

Spurning a fortune just for a smile from his beloved.

He reached out his arms and pulled her tightly into his embrace, whispering by her ear.

"Wan'er, thank you."

"Go ahead. I'll wait for your triumphant return so we can celebrate together."

Chen Luo stood up, nodded solemnly, and walked out of the conference room.

Watching Chen Luo's figure disappear from view, Wen Wan cupped her face with both hands, tilting her head with an infatuated smile.

"My precious treasure is truly so manly."

"How could I ever bear to let you lose? Even if I have to burn through all our capital, I will make you win!"

"Alright, Wen Xiu, come on out!"
