"Secretary Bai, how's the list and funding preparation you compiled coming along?"
"Huh? No, boss, didn't you say you wanted to think about it some more?"
Bai Shiya jumped out of bed, not caring that her face mask had fallen to the floor.
"I'm not going to consider it anymore. I'll give you two days to list all the names and the funds required."
Chen Luo's voice carried a rare stern tone, which startled Bai Shiya.
What's wrong? Chen Luo's temper has worsened after only one day of rest?
"Okay, boss, the list you mentioned is too long, and the transfer of funds also takes time. Could you give me a little more time?"
As Chen Luo's secretary, Bai Shiya would naturally carry out his orders, but in reality, the time was too tight, and it was too much pressure for her to handle the matter herself.
"You only have two days, but I will have Wenxiu and Zhou Zheng help you. Make sure you complete it. That's all."
After saying that, Chen Luo hung up the phone, and Bai Shiya stared at her phone in a daze.
"Wait a minute, this new boss usually seems so gentle, how could he be such a ruthless swindler!"
"Never mind! Hurry up and get to the company, or who knows what the consequences will be if we don't finish."
Bai Shiya immediately jumped out of bed, took off her pajamas, changed into her business attire, and quickly ran out of her residence, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the company.
...
"call!"
Chen Luo tried to relax and not let Wen Tao's words affect her mood.
"Slap! Slap!"
Sitting on the toilet, I slapped my face hard to try and wake myself up.
"Okay, now let's go over the key issues."
"First, my future father-in-law is here to test me."
"Secondly, the battle with Yelena has reached its final stage, and the outcome will be decided in the next week."
"Judging from these two points, my father-in-law wants to use this matter to see if I am worthy of Wan'er."
"Therefore, I must win beautifully so that he will look at me differently and I can keep Wan'er."
"If that's the case, shouldn't we change our current plan and think of another way to defeat Yelena?"
Chen Luo fell into deep thought, feeling that he had never experienced such pressure in either of his two lifetimes.
Whether it was the anger over losing Wan'er or the fear of the Wen family patriarch, both were affecting Chen Luo's emotions.
"No! If this continues, I'll definitely lose my composure! I can't let myself be led by the nose!"
Chen Luo stood up, went to the sink, looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes filled with worry and anxiety.
Splashing water on his face, the cold water instantly calmed Chen Luo down.
"Start over, re-analyze!"
"First of all, regardless of whether my future father-in-law comes or not, I cannot lose the struggle with Yelena, so the original plan cannot be changed. It is already the optimal solution! We cannot waver!"
"Secondly! Although the Wen family is very powerful, they may not be able to control everything! Especially since the Wen family head didn't bring many people with him this time, they definitely can't defend against all threats!"
"If we lose, I'll just elope with Wan'er! Oh, and I'll bring Mom and Dad along too. We can always just run away abroad! Anyway, I have 100 million in my account, enough for the whole family!"
"Yes! Let's do it!"
Once Chen Luo understood this, he suddenly relaxed and began to plan his escape.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
"Baby? Baby? Are you alright? What have you been doing in the bathroom the whole time?!"
"Hmm!"
The gentle voice startled Chen Luo. He had been lost in thought and had forgotten that he had been in the bathroom for so long.
Another thing is that I need to plan my escape, but I can't let Wan'er know that her father has arrived. Otherwise, Wan'er will be even more panicked than me, and if her condition relapses, the situation will only get worse.
"No, it's nothing. I was constipated, so I just came out."
I blurted out a lie and quickly pressed the flush button on the toilet.
"Splash!"
The sound of running water filled the air, and Chen Luo slowly walked towards the door. The bathroom door opened, and Wen Wan looked at him with concern, reaching out to support his arm.
"Honey, how are you? Does your stomach hurt? Let's go to the hospital now."
"No, it's nothing. I've probably just been too tired lately, and my digestion is a bit off. It's nothing serious."
The two sat down at the tea table. Wen Wan held Chen Luo's hand tightly, without the slightest doubt about what Chen Luo said.
"How about we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
"Your health is the most important thing. I'll go crazy if this business war ruins your health."
"Otherwise, let's not continue fighting with Yelena. Let's just give up. At worst, I'll just consider it as me using the more than 10 billion yuan of the education industry market to buy her medicine."
Oh, that's over 10 billion, not just a hundred dollars.
"It's nothing, Wan'er, I just... it's just a minor ailment."
Wen Wan keenly noticed Chen Luo's hesitant and guilty tone, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Wait, are you really constipated? What were you doing in the toilet just now?"
"What happened to the red mark on your face? I think I heard a woman's voice inside just now. Who were you calling?"
"I... I was just on the phone with Bai Shiya arranging work."
"Do you assign tasks while I'm in the restroom? And what's with the red marks on your face?"
Wen Wan stood up abruptly, placed both hands on Chen Luo's shoulders, and reprimanded him sternly from above.
"Um, that, me."
Chen Luo didn't know how to explain it; he couldn't tell her about Wen Tao's arrival yet!
This hesitation made Wen Wan even more suspicious. She suddenly pushed Chen Luo away, and he fell onto the carpet.
Fortunately, Wen Wan reduced the force in her hands, and the carpet was soft, so Chen Luo was not injured.
Holy crap! This is really starting to get suspicious. I have to explain this to everyone right now!
Before Chen Luo could get up to explain, Wen Wan placed one of her black-stockinged legs on his chest.
"Tell me! What were you doing just now?"
Oh no, will she misunderstand and think I was secretly making phone calls to another woman in the bathroom? That would be a huge misunderstanding! I hope Wan'er doesn't kill me before my father-in-law does!
No! I have to come up with an excuse to get away with this!
He couldn't let her discover Wen Tao's arrival, nor could he let her misunderstand that he might be cheating on her.
Ah! Quickly come up with a reason to resolve this crisis!
In a moment of desperation, an idea suddenly popped into Chen Luo's mind, and he blurted it out without much thought.
"Those red marks are from my flushed face! I... I was just looking at study materials to relieve stress!"
"Um, honey, are you really under a lot of pressure?"
