"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Chen Luo was panting heavily, his shirt soaked with sweat.
This meal took a full hour to prepare, and the person who cooked it looked like they'd been pulled out of a river.
Carrying a plate of tofu and a plate of stir-fried pork, they came to the dining table.
At this moment, Wen Wan had changed her clothes, wearing yoga pants and a tight short-sleeved top, which showed off her alluring figure to Chen Luo.
"Hehe, you've worked hard, my darling."
Chen Luo rolled her eyes, a rare occurrence for her. "Isn't all this hard work your fault? I promised to cook for you, but I didn't expect you to treat me like a dessert before the meal."
"Eat quickly, didn't you say you were going to let me relax?"
Wen Wan picked up her chopsticks, brought them to her lips, and squinted her eyes.
"Yeah, weren't you relaxed enough just now? Didn't all your fatigue wash away?"
"How about we try it again in a different way?"
Seeing Wen Wan's gentle gaze and feeling the subtle sensations emanating from his thigh, Chen Luo quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, the fatigue has really been washed away, thank you, thank you."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing Chen Luo waving his hand, Wen Wan couldn't help but laugh so hard she bent over.
"You're so cute like this, baby."
"Alright, alright, let's eat. It's been way past lunchtime."
Chen Luo pushed a bowl of rice in front of Wen Wan and put a piece of meat in her bowl.
Wen Wan knew that Chen Luo had just exhausted himself and was hungry, so she stopped teasing him and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Although there were only two simple home-style dishes, the two of them ate with great relish.
During the meal, the two chatted casually. Although they wanted to talk about light topics, they inevitably ended up talking about company matters.
"Yelena seems to be about to make another move, so you'd better be careful."
At the company meeting, Wen Wan expressed that she wanted Chen Luo to take charge and gain more experience. However, her concern made her lose her composure, and she couldn't help but keep a close eye on the current situation so that she could take timely action in case anything unexpected happened.
"Yes, I know. After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Ye family. I know that the current offensive is still not enough to deal a significant blow to her."
Chen Luo's voice was somewhat low when he said this.
During this period of time, he faced Yelena's offensive alone and only then did he realize how formidable the skills of a privileged young lady like Yelena were.
Despite having laid out plans long in advance to seize the education market and mobilized all of the company's resources and funds for the offensive, Yelena's defense remained impenetrable.
Although the opponent is currently at a disadvantage due to his advanced understanding, it is unknown what other cards the opponent has up his sleeve.
Now, Chen Luo knows that he cannot defeat Yelena simply because of his advanced knowledge.
The kind of plot where the protagonist in an online novel can forcibly reduce the intelligence of their opponent as soon as they make a move will not happen to you. Don't have such unrealistic dreams.
The only thing I can do is to take each step steadily and surely, combining offense and defense to make myself invincible, waiting for the opponent to reveal a weakness, and then strike with certain victory!
As Chen Luo pondered, a hint of heartache flashed in Wen Wan's eyes.
She has been in the business world for many years and knows how terrifying the psychological pressure can be when facing a strong opponent.
Managing such a vast business empire and mobilizing such terrifying resources requires an astonishing amount of mental and physical effort.
If it weren't for considering Chen Luo's feelings and respecting his choice, she would have already taken over the fight against Yelena completely.
When someone taps Yelena's wrist, Wen Wan never flinches.
Thinking this, Wen Wan stood up, took a small notebook and a pen from the table next to her, and quickly wrote two strings of numbers on it.
"Tear!"
He tore the paper off the notebook, walked to Chen Luo's side, and placed it in front of Chen Luo.
"Huh? What's this?"
Chen Luo glanced down at the two strings of numbers, then looked up at Wen Wan with a puzzled expression.
“Baby, I know you don’t want me to get too involved in this matter.”
"I also understand that you hope to defeat Yelena on your own, and make her your first whetstone."
At this point, Wen Wan reached out and grasped Chen Luo's hand.
"But I really can't bear to see you working so hard, so I'd like to help you with something small. I hope you won't refuse, okay?"
"This is my bank account and password. I'm just giving you some of my savings for emergencies. Don't overthink it. I don't intend to interfere too much."
Seeing Wen Wan considerate of his feelings and constantly explain her intentions, Chen Luo felt a warm glow in his heart.
"It's alright, Wan'er, I'm really not tired. You don't need to worry too much, I have a way."
"If I were to even use your secret stash of money, I would be too pathetic."
At this point, Chen Luo knew that Wen Wan was worried about him, and the atmosphere had become somewhat heavy, so he decided to talk about something lighter.
"But now that I know about my wife's secret stash, I'll definitely have to use it in the future. We'll use this money when we go out to play."
"As for the company's current situation, I'm afraid your personal savings are not enough, so you'd better not use them."
Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Wen Wan lowered her head, seemingly deep in thought.
"Hmm, no, according to my calculations, giving you this secret stash of money should help change the situation. Could it be that my calculations were wrong?"
Seeing her deep in thought, Chen Luo felt that Wen Wan wasn't joking, and he mustered up the courage to ask a question.
"Um, honey, would you mind telling me how much secret savings you have?"
Wen Wan cutely counted on her fingers, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Actually, I haven't been monitoring it in real time, but this account should have had $16.7 billion six months ago. I don't know how much it has now. I'll check the account later."
"Huh? Duo Shao? You mean you have Duo Shao's secret stash of money?"
"16.7 billion US dollars, all in cash deposits. I don't know it's a lot, but it should be enough to fight Yelena in the Southeast."
Chen Luo covered his eyes, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Is this the money philosophy of chaebols?
16.7 billion is not enough?
It's not total assets, but $16.7 billion in cash deposits!
What does this mean? This is 16.7 billion in cash flow, a terrifying amount of funds that can be mobilized at any time.
Those of the world's richest people claim to have a net worth of tens of billions, but actually having them mobilize nearly 20 billion in cash flow is not an easy task for them.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Wan tilted her head, looking at Chen Luo's expression with some curiosity.
However, Chen Luo still had no intention of using this rather staggering amount of private money, and changed the subject.
"No, it's nothing. Let's eat."
"Right now, it's still a battle for talent and projects. Neither side has reached the point of using their last reserves of funds for a decisive battle. So, for the time being, we don't need to use this private money."
Upon hearing Chen Luo mention the word "talent," Wen Wan seemed to suddenly realize something.
"Oh right, I almost forgot, I also recruited a rare talent for you these past few days."
"Talent?"
The last time I heard those two words was when Wen Wan mentioned Wen Xiu. Could it be that Wen Wan recruited someone of the same caliber as Wen Xiu?
Under Chen Luo's gaze, Wen Wan picked up her phone and sent a message to Mo Lan.
"Mo Lan, bring Bai Shiya over here."
