The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

The anonymous call was like a stone thrown into the calm lake of our hearts, causing ripples.

Yuxuan's face was gloomy, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the phone turned white.

who is it?

Who is behind the scenes?

Although Zhang's opponent was arrested, his accomplices are still at large.

Could it be them?

Or, a new enemy?

I held Yuxuan's hand, trying to give him some strength.

"Don't worry, we can fight back. We've been through so much, what else can defeat us?"

Yuxuan took a deep breath and hugged me. "You're right, Luoluo. Let's face this together."

However, challenges followed.

The next day, shareholder Chen came to the company.

His brows were furrowed and his tone was serious.

"Yuxuan, I've thought about it carefully. The market conditions are not good right now, and your new project is too risky. I've decided to reduce my investment."

a bolt from the blue!

Once the capital chain breaks, the consequences will be unimaginable.

I finally solved my opponent Zhang's conspiracy, and now I'm facing financial problems. I feel like a huge rock is pressing on my chest and I can't breathe.

Yuxuan remained calm and politely asked shareholder Chen to sit down. "Uncle Chen, I understand your concerns. However, I believe in the prospects of this project. It..."

I looked at Yuxuan. His eyes were firm and his tone was full of confidence. I knew he was trying hard to convince shareholder Chen and stabilize the morale of his troops.

However, shareholder Chen doesn't seem to buy it.

"Yuxuan, the business world is like a battlefield. I must be responsible for my investment. Reducing my investment is a decision I made after careful consideration." He stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. You should think about it carefully."

After Mr. Chen left, the office fell silent. I looked at Yuxuan. He looked pale, but remained calm.

"Lolo," he walked up to me and gently held me in his arms, "It's okay, everything will be fine."

I held him tightly, feeling his strong heartbeat, and I knew he needed my support more than anyone else.

"Yuxuan," I looked up at him, "We still have time. We can definitely find a solution."

Yuxuan took out a thick folder from the drawer and said, "I had anticipated that there would be resistance." A confident arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. He opened the folder, which contained a detailed market research report. The dense data and charts made me dizzy.

"Shareholder Chen's concerns are not without reason, but the market is changing rapidly and his information is lagging behind."

He pointed to a page of charts and explained, "Look, according to our research, there is a huge gap in the market, and our project can fill this vacancy. Although there may be fluctuations in the short term, in the long run, the returns will be considerable." He analyzed the project's advantages and potential returns in a clear and orderly manner. Every piece of data was precise and powerful, like a bullet, shattering my worries and making me admire his foresight even more.

Yuxuan took the report and visited several other shareholders one by one.

He stated his views calmly and confidently, using data and facts to support his views.

I stood by and silently cheered him on, served him tea and water, and organized his documents.

Hard work pays off. Several shareholders were impressed by Yuxuan’s confidence and the potential of the project, and expressed their willingness to increase their investment.

The financial crisis was thus resolved by Yuxuan.

Watching him plan and win battles thousands of miles away, my heart is filled with pride and admiration.

On the day of the new project launch conference, I stood backstage and helped Yuxuan tidy up his clothes.

He was wearing a dark blue suit today, looking particularly handsome and tall.

I gently smoothed the wrinkles on his suit, my eyes full of admiration.

"Yuxuan, you can do it."

He squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile.

"I know." He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with confidence, "For you, for our future, I will definitely succeed."

The press conference was packed with reporters with cameras and flashlights flashing.

Yuxuan stood on the stage and talked freely. His magnetic voice and confident posture instantly attracted everyone's attention.

I stood in the audience, watching him radiantly, my heart filled with pride.

At this moment, a sharp voice broke the harmony of the venue.

"Mr. Lu, as far as I know..." A female reporter wearing glasses and holding a recorder stood up. It was Reporter Zhao who had interviewed us before. "...your company's new project has a high degree of overlap with existing products on the market. How will you ensure the project's competitiveness?"

Although reporter Zhao's questions were sharp, they were still within the normal range.

Yuxuan responded calmly and used data and cases to prove the uniqueness and market prospects of the project.

However, the other voice carried obvious malice... A man in a suit and tie, with a slicked-back hair and powdered face, stood up. I recognized him as Manager Liu from a rival company.

"Mr. Lu..." He pushed his glasses and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "...your explanation just now seems unconvincing..." Manager Liu's voice was greasy and harsh, as uncomfortable as nails scratching on a blackboard.

"Mr. Lu, your company's new project has such a short development time. How can you ensure the quality and safety of the product? Aren't you rushing for quick success and making shoddy products?" He said this in a sarcastic tone, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

I clenched my fists, my palms were sweaty.

Yuxuan, however, maintained an elegant smile as he responded calmly, "Manager Liu's question is pointed, but it also demonstrates your concern for our project. Regarding product quality and safety, we have complete test reports and certifications from authoritative organizations, which will be provided to our media friends later. As for R&D time, I believe efficiency and quality are not mutually exclusive. We have a top-notch R&D team and a highly effective management model, which are the keys to our ability to quickly launch high-quality products." He paused, his eyes scanning Manager Liu sharply, "I believe time will tell."

Yuxuan's answer won applause from the audience, and I felt relieved.

However, I know this is just the calm before the storm.

After the press conference, I turned on my phone and was flooded with negative news.

"Lu Group's new project is suspected of plagiarism!" "The quality is worrying! Lu's new product may become a time bomb!" "Lu Yuxuan, a business liar!"... These malicious comments and rumors came like a tide, almost drowning us.

Yuxuan immediately organized a public relations team to fight back, clarify the facts and release evidence.

The online public opinion field has become a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, with both sides engaging in fierce confrontation.

I was shaking with anger reading those comments that distorted the facts.

Yuxuan, however, remained remarkably calm. While directing the PR team, he comforted me, "Don't worry, Luoluo. Good will prevail over evil. We will definitely win."

Just then, my cell phone rang. It was reporter Zhao.

"Ms. Lin," her voice sounded a little anxious, "I have some important clues about those online water armies..." Before she finished speaking, the phone was suddenly disconnected.

My heart tightened and an ominous premonition came over me.

I called back immediately, but was told that the number you dialed is powered off.

"Yuxuan..." My voice trembled. "Reporter Zhao...she seemed to have discovered something..."

Yuxuan frowned and immediately arranged for someone to find reporter Zhao.

While anxiously waiting, my heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

A few hours later, there was finally news that reporter Zhao was safe and sound, except that his phone was out of battery and turned off.

She brought a bombshell: she found conclusive evidence that the malicious smear campaign was actually hired by Manager Liu's company!

As soon as the news came out, public opinion instantly reversed.

Manager Liu's company's image plummeted, the stock price plummeted, and his previous smug look was probably uglier than eating a fly.

However, our project received more attention because of this incident, and the number of orders began to soar.

I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the huge rock pressing on my chest had finally fallen to the ground.

At the celebration banquet, champagne bubbles danced in the crystal glasses, reflecting everyone's excited faces.

Shareholder Chen raised his glass to Yuxuan: "Mr. Lu, this time it is thanks to you that we turned the tide, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses." Yuxuan raised his glass in return, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue in his smile.

These partners began to waver and called to inquire, their tone full of doubt and concern.

Yuxuan patiently explained and calmed their emotions, but I knew that once this crisis of trust was formed, it would be difficult to completely eliminate it.

What is even more disturbing is that this mysterious force seems to be everywhere, like a huge net, quietly closing in on us.

I have a vague feeling that there is a bigger conspiracy behind this, a conspiracy that is more dangerous and more terrifying than Manager Liu's tricks...

"Yuxuan," I said in a low voice, "I always feel that something is going to happen..." He held my hand tightly, his eyes deep: "Don't be afraid, Lolo, I will protect you." At this time, his cell phone rang, an unfamiliar number... He answered the call, and his face suddenly changed.

"Professor Wang...something happened?"
