The ancient war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a wealthy family

I slammed the door and left, but didn't go far.

Taking a deep breath, I rubbed my temples irritably.

divorce?

Oh, how is that possible!

I, Bai Xingchen, am not the kind of naive person who gets carried away by the melodramatic plot.

This sudden "illegitimate child" incident clearly shows that someone is playing tricks and wants to take advantage of the chaotic period of mergers and acquisitions to cause trouble for us.

Zhan Yu looked distraught, and it was obvious that he had been tricked.

The merger and acquisition deal had just been finalized, and I thought I could sing a song called "How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible", but I turned around and got a "surprise".

This plot is even more ridiculous than the old 8 o'clock dramas!

Mom, did I demolish the Yue Lao Temple in my previous life?

How come this life of the rich is more exciting than palace fighting?

Forget it, let’s stabilize the situation first.

I took out my phone and sent a message to Zhan Yu: "Stop pretending, the show is over. Let's meet at the usual place tonight to discuss countermeasures."

When I returned to the company, I immediately gathered the team and started working on the post-merger integration.

Everything seems calm on the surface, but in fact, there are undercurrents.

Some old employees of the target company were extremely resistant to the management style of the Zhan family enterprise. They complained privately and even began to incite dissatisfaction.

The atmosphere within the company is like a pressure cooker about to explode, so tense that it makes people breathless.

Of course I won't sit idly by.

Come hard?

Too low!

I have to outsmart you!

I took the initiative to invite several representatives of old employees to a discussion, put on an attitude of humility and seek advice, and listened carefully to their demands.

This sudden "soft policy" caught them off guard.

The originally tense atmosphere seemed to have eased a little.

Just when I thought the situation was improving, an old employee suddenly said, "Ms. Bai, are you really willing to listen to our opinions? We heard..." He paused, his eyes flickering, "We heard that things have been going on in the Zhan family lately..."

My heart trembled, and I asked calmly, "Oh? Not peaceful? You mean..."

He smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "You'd better ask Mr. Zhan..." This old guy, is he playing riddles with me here?

I replied to him with a forced smile, "Every family has its own problems. Please don't worry about the Zhan family's affairs." But I rolled my eyes in my heart. The news spread really fast. It seems that the rival company has put in a lot of effort.

In the evening, Zhan Yu and I met at the private club we often go to.

As soon as he saw me, he started complaining, "Wife, I'm more wronged than Dou E! I don't even know where this illegitimate child came from! Someone must have deliberately framed me!"

I rolled my eyes at him. "Come on, stop pretending. I knew someone was up to something. Tell me, who do you suspect?"

Zhan Yu frowned and analyzed, "I suspect it's the old fox Wei from the Wei Group. They suffered heavy losses in this merger and acquisition, and they must be holding a grudge."

I nodded. "Old Fox Wei is indeed cunning and sly. However, he wouldn't be so stupid as to pull off such a cheap trick. I think there might be someone else behind this."

As he was speaking, Investigator Lin sent a message saying that he had found some clues.

I opened the file and saw that it was indeed the Wei Group behind this!

Not only did they bribe some old employees of the target company, they also sent corporate spies to infiltrate our company in an attempt to steal business secrets!

I threw the evidence onto the table. "Look, I told you it wasn't that simple! Old Fox Wei is up to something!"

The next day, I made the Wei Group’s actions public at the company meeting.

The bribed old employees were suddenly speechless, the instigators lost their confidence, and the situation within the company began to stabilize.

I successfully resolved a potential crisis and felt like the queen of the business world, oozing with dominance!

However, before they had time to celebrate their victory, new challenges arose.

Some old-fashioned senior executives within the Zhan family enterprise have questioned my management style.

They thought I was too young and too gentle and worried that this would affect the company's development.

"Ms. Bai, your idea is certainly good, but..." Financial Advisor Chen pushed his glasses up, a hint of doubt in his tone, "We are a large company after all. We can't always be so 'virtuous'. Sometimes, we have to be tough when it's necessary."

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and explained, "My 'gentleness' isn't weakness, it's strategy. Now is a critical period of integration, and stability is paramount..."

"Strategy? Humph!" A gray-haired old director snorted disdainfully, "I think you're just too soft-hearted!"

I took a deep breath and was about to retort when another senior executive joined the fray: "Ms. Bai, you're too idealistic. The business world is like a battlefield. Softness will only make us…"

I slammed the table and interrupted him: "Enough! I don't need you to dictate my decisions!" The conference room suddenly fell silent and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

I looked around at everyone and said word by word, "My abilities aren't just words..."

I put my hands on the conference table, looked around, and raised the corners of my mouth slightly: "My ability is not expressed by words, but proven by real performance! The success of the merger and acquisition is the best example!" I turned on the projector and displayed the details of the integration plan one by one. From personnel arrangements to resource allocation, to future development strategies, every link was clear and logically rigorous.

Those old-fashioned people who originally doubted me opened their eyes wide, and their glasses almost fell off.

"This...this..." Financial Consultant Chen pushed his glasses up, his tone filled with surprise. "Ms. Bai, your plan...is truly...brilliant!"

I smiled slightly and thought to myself: Basic operation, don't be surprised.

"I've long said that my 'moderation' is merely a strategy. Right now, stability is key. Only with internal unity can we meet the challenges ahead." I paused, glancing around at the crowd. "Everyone, I hope you all understand that we're all in the same boat. Only by working together can we reach the other shore of success."

After the meeting, many senior executives came over to try to get close to me. The old director who had previously criticized me for being too soft-hearted was full of praise for me and wanted to worship me as his teacher right then and there.

I felt nothing inside, and even wanted to laugh: Haha, men.

However, before I could enjoy the joy of victory, Investigator Lin brought me bad news.

"Ms. Bai," Investigator Lin said solemnly, "I've found some bad news. The Wei Group...it seems they haven't given up."

"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow. "What other tricks do they have?"

"According to the intelligence we have, the Wei Group is collaborating with several other companies to launch a commercial blockade against the Zhan family..." Investigator Lin's tone grew graver as he spoke. "We're still investigating the specific plan, but... the situation isn't optimistic."

Commercial blockade?

It seems that old fox Wei is going to do something big!

I narrowed my eyes and a chill ran through my heart.

It seems that this is the beginning of the real battle...

"Keep investigating!" I said in a deep voice, "I want to know their every move!" Investigator Lin nodded, turned and left.

I stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling city outside, but my heart was surging.

My hands were clenched into fists... Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

I opened it and saw an anonymous text message: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind..."
