"Wenxiu, come out."
A figure emerged from behind the curtains by the window; it was none other than Wen Xiu, the fifth brother, who had been defeated by Wen Wan and had been slinked away to the Northwest Market.
"Sixth Sister, I really didn't expect you to contact me on your own initiative."
"What? You don't want to kill me anymore?"
Wen Xiu was dressed casually, and her skin was a bit tanned, indicating that she had really suffered a lot during this period.
"No, I still want to kill you. Just the matter of having someone kidnap Chen Luo is a pity. The old man protected you, so I can't do it for the time being."
Wen Xiu spent some time in the Northwest honing her skills, and she became more composed than before.
He calmly sat down opposite Wenwan and lit a cigarette.
"Phew, you wouldn't do something like playing tricks on me. Since you tricked me into coming here to kill me, there must be something you want to cooperate with me on."
Wen Wan raised an eyebrow slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
"It seems that the Northwest is a good place. In just a few days, your temperament has improved so much."
"Alright, little sister, stop teasing your brother."
After finishing one cigarette, Wen Xiu took out another from the pack and was about to light it.
“I am nothing more than your defeated opponent, and now I am an outcast of the family. I am probably not of much value to you. Just say what you want to say.”
"clatter!"
The sound of a lighter went off, and a flame rose, igniting the cigarette.
Wenxiu's face showed surprise, and she even forgot to breathe.
Wenwan lit my cigarette? This crazy woman actually lit my cigarette?
If I remember correctly, even the old man didn't receive this treatment, right?
"You really have no value to me anymore."
Wen Wan put down the lighter, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her behavior.
"However, you are of great value to Chen Luo."
Upon hearing this, Wen Xiu immediately understood, and a hint of ambiguity appeared on her face.
"It seems that you are truly in love with your little lover to the core, even willing to put aside your hatred for me."
"As long as he can be happy and achieve his dreams, I can give up everything."
Wen Wan paused at this point.
"Including my life!"
Upon hearing this, Wenxiu looked at Wenwan with a conflicting expression of both unwavering resolve and a sense of entitlement.
"I really don't understand you, maybe that's why I've never been able to beat you."
Wen Xiu scratched her head and gave a wry smile: "Alright, just tell me how you want me to help Chen Luo."
"Great, that's satisfying."
Wen Wan didn't beat around the bush, but instead expressed her thoughts.
"I want you to become Chen Luo's deputy and one of his key advisors, to help him win this battle."
"In return, once this matter is settled, I will secretly return half of your businesses in the Southeast to you, how about that?"
Wen Wan's decision wasn't impulsive; she had already investigated Wen Xiu's previous kidnapping incident.
It was indeed Tang Xiwei's own actions that led to this result, and Wen Xiu has already been punished. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she has been ruined, as she swallowed up all the territory she had built up over the years.
Putting all that aside, Wen Xiu is capable; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to control Southeast Asia for so many years and fight Yelena for so long without being at a significant disadvantage.
Now, Wen Xiu has been sent to the Northwest, where there are almost no businesses, making him essentially an abandoned son of the family.
If such an experienced person could become Chen Luo's assistant, Chen Luo's growth would be accelerated.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Wenxiu's eyes widened immediately.
It wasn't that he felt ashamed to be Chen Luo's deputy; it was just that Wen Wan's offer to return her assets was a bit too suggestive.
"Hiss!" He took a deep drag of his cigarette, and the smoke cleared his lungs, making him a little more awake.
"Are you planning to bring me under your command so you can compete with my elder brother for the throne?"
From Wen Xiu's perspective, Wen Wan might really be willing to give everything for Chen Luo, but whether she returns the business to her or the secret to her is complicated.
Once you choose to accept it, the news will inevitably spread.
In the eyes of his elder brother Wen Shao, he had truly joined Wen Wan's faction and thus stood on the opposite side of him.
While helping Chen Luo grow, she also began to plot her succession, truly killing two birds with one stone.
"You got half right."
"What about the other half?"
"The other half is, of course, for Chen Luo's growth."
Upon hearing this, Wenxiu couldn't help but chuckle.
"I never imagined that I, the fifth young master of the Wen family, would be reduced to serving as an assistant and advisor to a college student. It's truly a cruel twist of fate."
“You know Yelena, your old rival, best, so you are the best choice.”
"Or are you planning to refuse? Or are you really going to give up this opportunity?"
Wen Xiu put down her cigarette, raised her head slightly, and revealed a meaningful look.
Did I really have a choice? No, I really didn't. After becoming a pawn, could I ever go back to the capital?
"Okay, I accept."
Wen Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from her heart.
"From now on, I'll happily serve as your little lover's right-hand man. But don't you dare betray me, though I don't have anything left for you to betray now."
"Okay, thank you very much, Fifth Brother. From now on, we're on the same side."
Wen Wan shook hands with Wen Xiu and then smiled.
"Next, I'll trouble Fifth Brother to get to work immediately. With a major battle imminent, everything depends on you."
"My dear sister, you're such a ruthless person! I've been working right since I arrived. You're really inhumane."
He grumbled as he walked out of the meeting room.
Wen Wan covered her mouth and smiled, then slowly followed.
...
The President's Office, Yip's Group.
The gates were always open, people were constantly coming and going, and the entire group was operating at high speed.
"Chairman Ye! The stock price of Wanluo Group's education subsidiary has currently dropped by 1%."
"The video has already surpassed 20 million views, and we have increased our investment in traffic, so it will soon reach a new high."
"Offline educational institutions have made all-out efforts, and we have also discovered some people who are promoting their services in grassroots schools, and we have already intercepted them."
Yelena listened to the different reports, calmly handled various situations, and issued the most appropriate instructions at the moment.
"We must intercept and crack down on their propaganda efforts at the grassroots level! We discovered last night that they had already begun infiltrating us. We must curb this momentum and not let them undermine our foundation."
"Next, this is the top priority, get it done immediately!"
"Yes, we'll go right away!"
Several assistants immediately went out, and Yelena looked up and continued to stare at the stock market data, determined to be on guard against the other side's counterattack.
Just then, the phone rang.
Yelena looked at the computer screen and answered the call without giving it much thought.
"Hello, is this Chairman Ye? This is Wen Xiu, it's been a long time."
"What? Wen Xiu!"
