Chapter 113: Bestowing the Title of Prince Consort, First Vice President!
Page 1/3
Wen Wan gently took Chen Luo’s hand and led him into the building, stopping in front of the elevator in the very center of the first floor.
As soon as they entered, Chen Luo was momentarily dazzled by the elevator’s reflective surface.
The elevator doors were coated with a layer of gold, easily worth hundreds of thousands given the area covered.
Standing beside them, Mo Lan spoke up appropriately: “This elevator is exclusive to the company’s senior executives. Only those at the vice president level or above have access, and fewer than five people in the entire company can use it.”
“Ding!”
The elevator doors opened, and Mo Lan gestured for the two of them to step inside before she took the ordinary elevator herself.
Inside the elevator, Chen Luo glanced around. The space was surprisingly large, even furnished with two chairs made entirely of pure gold, their armrests encrusted with diamonds.
“How is it? Do you like it? If you want, I can have one made for you too,” Wen Wan said seriously, her expression earnest, as if she weren’t joking.
“No need. These chairs are hard and uncomfortable—far worse than the sofa at home,” Chen Luo replied.
Having seen the world in his previous life, Chen Luo wasn’t impressed beyond considering it a bit wasteful.
“That’s true, but even your sofa at home is more expensive than these two chairs,” Wen Wan chuckled, covering her mouth. Her mood was clearly excellent today.
“You’re always so sharp-tongued,” Chen Luo teased, tapping her forehead gently. At that moment, the elevator doors opened—they had arrived on the seventh floor.
This was the main office of Wan Luo Company, where nearly all the employees worked.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, two rows of people stood respectfully at the entrance to welcome them.
“Good morning, President Wen!”
Wen Wan, arm linked with Chen Luo’s, stepped out without a word and walked straight ahead.
Chen Luo noticed that none of these people looked older than forty, and each exuded an impressive aura or exceptional demeanor.
These were the elite of elites, leaders in various industries.
Yet when they looked at Wen Wan, their eyes did not carry arrogance or fear, but profound reverence and gratitude.
It seemed Wen Wan’s talent for managing subordinates and discerning people was even more formidable than expected.

In his previous life, Chen Luo had lacked precisely this ability to command and select talent; he resolved to improve himself in this regard.
Though reborn with knowledge and insight ahead of his time, he understood that his abilities still needed great refinement.
The projects he planned were massive in scale, demanding exceptional capability and temperament. He had to continually temper himself rather than rely on the advantage of rebirth or feel as if he had a cheat code.
He had to learn and grow stronger—this was essential to better protect Wen Wan.
Wen Wan led Chen Luo to a vast conference room that could seat over a hundred people.
The room was already filled; these were the heads of all subsidiaries under Wen Wan’s leadership, department heads, and senior executives from the headquarters.
Together, they represented the full strength and human resources of Wen Wan’s empire.
They formed the backbone of her sprawling business empire.
The two of them took seats on the stage—only the two of them—while the other vice presidents sat in the front row below.
Wen Wan picked up a microphone. Instantly, everyone present straightened with solemn faces, all eyes on her.
These were veteran loyalists who had worked alongside Wen Wan for years and knew her style well.
As a symbol of efficiency, Wen Wan rarely called meetings without purpose. When she did, it meant major changes were imminent for the entire group.
The last such meeting had been to announce the full acquisition of all assets belonging to Wen Xiu, which had more than doubled the group’s size.
Another previous meeting had been earth-shattering: under Wen Wan’s leadership, they dealt a heavy blow to the Nie family, one of the ten great families of the capital, securing entry into the northeastern industrial market.
Today’s gathering was even grander than those, indicating that President Wen was preparing a monumental move.
Everyone was curious about the young man sitting next to Wen Wan on the stage. Who was he, and why was he so close to her? There had been no rumors of Wen Wan ever having a boyfriend. Who was this troublemaker?
Within the company, many elite men had secretly regarded Wen Wan as their goddess over the years. Although they worshipped her, their admiration inevitably carried a hint of affection.
Now Chen Luo’s presence aroused some resentment.
Wen Wan noticed these glances but paid them no mind. Instead, she spoke directly.
“Today, I have gathered you all here for one purpose.”
Wen Wan took Chen Luo’s hand, their fingers intertwined as they stood on the stage. Smiling, she announced:
“This is my man, Chen Luo. From today forward, he is also the group’s first vice president.”

“From today onward, his word is my command.”
“All company funds and resources are at his disposal. No one is to obstruct him under any circumstances.”
At these words, a flash of determination appeared in Wen Wan’s eyes as she swept the room with a commanding gaze.
“Who supports this resolution? Who opposes it?”
The crowd exchanged glances in silence; no one dared to speak.
Even if they did, it would be futile. Wen Wan held ninety percent of the group’s shares and could enforce any decision regardless of opposition.
They were simply stunned—never had anyone imagined that the president would call a meeting to crown the male head of this business empire!
As the empire’s empress, Wen Wan’s partner, Chen Luo, held a position akin to that of a queen beside an ancient emperor.
From the viewpoint of the Wen family’s aristocratic tradition, Chen Luo was the perfect son-in-law of the Wen clan and also the “lady boss” of Wan Luo Group.
This was meant to grant her man a title and position, while granting him full authority over the company’s resources and finances.
Such power was immense, involving terrifying wealth and assets.
Could this seemingly youthful man truly have earned such absolute trust from President Wen?
Under the astonished gazes of all present, Chen Luo took the microphone from Wen Wan.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am Chen Luo. I look forward to working with all of you.”
“Today, I have only one thing to say: Wen Wan and I will lead this group to even greater glory. Your annual salaries will be doubled.”
“Applause!”
At Chen Luo’s words, the entire hall erupted in thunderous applause. Whether sincere or not, every face was filled with enthusiasm, welcoming him.
Chen Luo and Wen Wan exchanged a glance. Wen Wan immediately understood and took back the microphone.
“All members of the education division, please stay behind to discuss the development plan for the online education project. Everyone else is dismissed.”
