I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Qin Yifei nodded and began to explain under the gaze of everyone: "Just as we suspected before, the enemy's internal situation is far more complicated than it appears on the surface. They not only have a complete security system, but also some secret channels for information transmission."

After listening to the report, Zhang Xiumin frowned. "So, relying solely on force doesn't seem to be the best solution. We need a smarter strategy."

Just as everyone was lost in thought, an unexpected voice came from the corner: "Why not try using soft power? I mean putting pressure on the other party through media and public opinion." The speaker was Xiao Chen, a copywriter who usually did not participate in discussions.

As soon as she said this, everyone turned their attention to her. "Hmm... this suggestion is very creative!" Sheng Nanting was the first to break the silence. "As long as it is handled properly, it can indeed achieve unexpected results."

Seeing his suggestion being taken seriously, Xiao Chen's face lit up with pride and excitement. "Thank you for your trust. I can take charge of this part of the work."

With the new idea accepted, the next step was to determine how to implement the plan. "In that case, let's work towards this goal!" Xu Shengli concluded with encouragement. "Meanwhile, Yifei, continue to monitor the enemy's movements and inform us immediately of any signs of movement."

Just as everyone was about to get back to their work, there was a knock on the door. "Sorry to bother you," the PR staff member who had appeared earlier came in to update them on the situation.

But this time, he looked incredibly excited, holding a document in his hand. "Just received news: Someone has anonymously leaked evidence to multiple news organizations alleging corruption, bribery, and illegal operations by top executives at a rival company! This is a truly monumental turn of events!"

Everyone was surprised at first, then delighted. Some even stood up and cheered. Even the usually calm Xu Shengli couldn't hide his excitement. "Great! This will likely cause the enemy to collapse internally, giving us a huge advantage."

"But we can't let our guard down either." Qin Yifei reminded him in time, "After all, the other party is definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe they have a trick up their sleeve."

Just as everyone regained their vigilance, Zhang Xiumin suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xu Muze, who had been standing next to him and had not spoken. "What do you think, brother? What do you think about what's going to happen next?"

Faced with the sudden question, the latter simply smiled faintly and said, "No matter how the situation changes, the most important thing is to stick to our original aspirations. I believe we can overcome any difficulties."

The meeting ended near dawn, and everyone left the ever-lit room with hope in their hearts. In the corridor, a few figures could still be seen busy at work, including Xiao Chen, who had just made a contribution, and Qin Yifei, who was constantly making calls to coordinate work with various departments.

Yet, behind all these seemingly positive developments, a mysterious figure watched from across the city. "I've lived up to my expectations. Now it's your turn to truly witness my strength," the figure muttered to himself, gently dialing a number...

And all this is just the beginning.

"Who do you think gave us such an important clue?" Qin Yifei asked the assistant beside him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The assistant shook his head, his expression serious. "It's hard to say at this point. But I believe as long as we remain highly vigilant, we'll be able to uncover the truth behind this."

"Yes," Qin Yifei nodded in agreement. "No matter what, tomorrow will be a crucial day. We must seize every opportunity." Their conversation slowly ended under the tranquil yet unpredictable night sky, but the story would continue... As the night deepened, somewhere in the city, the atmosphere grew increasingly heated. After the meeting, Xiao Chen couldn't wait to share his thoughts with several colleagues.

"I never thought my suggestion would be adopted! I think we really have a chance to defeat the enemy through this unconventional method." Her face flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled.

Zhang Wei, who was standing by, patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You really did pull off a big win this time. Everyone is impressed by you."

Just when everyone was chatting animatedly, Xu Muzhe slowly walked over and joined in, "Indeed, now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to make some changes." His words were gentle but firm.

The next morning, negative headlines about the rival company appeared in all major media outlets. On the streets, many pedestrians began to discuss the matter.

"Hey? Have you heard? A lot of problems were exposed in that company yesterday. It's really shocking!" A middle-aged woman chatted with an acquaintance next to her while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.

"That's right! I heard that corruption and bribery are also involved. No wonder things have been uneasy over there recently. However, I guess this matter is definitely not that simple..." The man nodded in response, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Qin Yifei was in his office, closely monitoring all online developments and constantly adjusting his plans. "It seems the public opinion offensive is working," he said to his assistant, who was reporting the latest developments across from him. "But we must always be vigilant against counterattacks."

The assistant agreed, "We have strengthened the communication mechanism between departments. Please rest assured."

As more evidence surfaced in the afternoon, the other party became increasingly restless. Their spokesperson publicly denied all allegations and claimed they were a smear campaign against the company by some unknown force.

"This is ridiculous! How could such detailed information be fabricated?" A passerby in the cafe exclaimed loudly after hearing the news, and many people around him joined in the discussion:

"After all, they're afraid of being exposed, right? Otherwise, why would they be so eager to distance themselves from the matter?"

"Those who support us are smart. They know how to crack down on those illegal businesses."

-"I don't know how it will end, but it's quite exciting, just like watching a TV series..."

Yet, amidst this fraught uncertainty, Qin Yifei maintained a remarkably clear mind. "We can't rest on our laurels; the real challenge may yet begin," he told his team, assigning them new tasks: "We need to further explore the source of information and be prepared for potential counterattacks."

At around 8 p.m., just as most employees were wrapping up their workday and heading home, the office suddenly received an encrypted message—one containing even more detailed evidence of a rival company's illegal activities and a partial list of personnel. Upon seeing this, everyone present was filled with disbelief.
