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

Another male colleague jokingly said, "I didn't expect our company to have such a rich sponsor. We'll have to take advantage of him in the future."

The office suddenly erupted in laughter, and the atmosphere lightened considerably. Lu Yining, however, understood that this was only a temporary respite. The road ahead was still filled with uncertainty and challenges. She secretly resolved that no matter how difficult the road ahead, she would forge ahead, step by step, and lead the family to new glory.

Just as she was thinking about her next plan, Zhang Lin sent her a message: "Ms. Lu, I just received a notice that the chairman wants to meet with you in person to discuss further cooperation matters. When do you think it would be convenient?"

Seeing this message, Lu Yining was overjoyed. This meant there had been another breakthrough. She immediately replied, "Tomorrow morning, okay? I'm always on call."

Soon, the other party confirmed the time. She put down her phone and gazed determinedly at the city outside the window. As night fell and the lights flickered, a bright light ignited in her heart. New opportunities were about to arrive, but she also knew that more challenges awaited her.

At this time, Zhang Xiumin walked into the office and asked with concern: "Yining, you have been so busy recently, can you still cope with it?"

Lu Yining smiled slightly, and said firmly: "Mom, everything is under control. No matter what, I will do my best to get our business back on its feet."

Zhang Xiumin nodded, a trace of relief and pride flashed in her eyes: "Yining, you have really grown up."

The two smiled at each other, as if conveying unspoken support and trust to each other. And on this night full of uncertainty, Lu Yining's heart has a new belief. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, she will not back down.

Outside the office, employees in the corridor were still discussing the matter. A young employee sighed, "I really admire Mr. Lu's courage. If it were me, I would have given up long ago in such a situation."

The colleague next to him echoed, "Yes, Mr. Lu is now a role model for all of us."

Amidst this discussion, the night deepened, and Lu Yining's figure grew more resolute. She knew a new story was about to begin. The next morning, Lu Yining arrived early at the Mingyang Group's headquarters. The sunlight shone brightly on the tall glass curtain wall. She took a deep breath, adjusted her clothes, and then walked towards the building with a firm step.

When we walked into the lobby, the receptionist was still enthusiastic: "Ms. Lu, Manager Zhang is waiting for you on the 15th floor."

"Thank you." Lu Yining nodded in thanks, then entered the elevator and pressed the button for the fifteenth floor.

When she walked into the conference room, she saw Zhang Lin and a middle-aged man already waiting there. The man looked calm and capable, his eyes revealing a subtle sharpness. Zhang Lin saw Lu Yining come in and quickly stood up to introduce her, "Ms. Lu, this is Mr. Fang Bo, the chairman of our company."

Lu Yining bowed slightly and said politely, "Hello, Chairman Fang, it's an honor to meet you."

Fang Bo nodded slightly and gestured for her to sit down. "Ms. Lu, please take a seat. I understand that your family has encountered some troubles recently, but this is also normal in business competition. What are your specific plans for this cooperation?"

Lu Yining opened the folder in his hand and handed it over, saying, "Based on your suggestions, we have developed a detailed plan. This plan includes not only financial support, but also technical support and market expansion strategies. I believe that with your company's resources and our efforts, we will be able to resolve the current difficulties."

Fang Bo took the document, looked through it carefully for a while, then looked up at Lu Yining: "Your plan is indeed very detailed. It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into it. However, I also want to know, facing the pressure from the outside world, how are you going to deal with it?"

Lu Yining said firmly, "Chairman Fang, I understand the current situation is not favorable to us. But as you said, this is part of business competition. We have already contacted a legal team and are actively collecting evidence, preparing to defend our rights through legal means. At the same time, we are also strengthening internal management to enhance the company's transparency and credibility. I believe that as long as we unite as one, no difficulties are insurmountable."

Fang Bo nodded in agreement and added, "Okay, if that's the case, then we can start working on the specific details of our cooperation. The plan you proposed is very feasible. We will gradually increase our investment and support based on the project's progress."

The two discussed for over an hour and finally finalized the specific content of the cooperation agreement. When leaving the meeting room, Fang Bo took the initiative to pat Lu Yining on the shoulder and said, "Ms. Lu, you have great potential. I believe this cooperation will be very successful."

"Thank you for your trust and support, Chairman Fang." Lu Yining responded respectfully.

Coming down from the fifteenth floor, she was filled with excitement and anticipation. Stepping out of the building, she was greeted by a bustling crowd. A passing employee stopped and exclaimed, "Could that person who just walked in be the legendary 'Iron Lady' Lu Yining? I heard she's a legend in the company!"

The person next to him continued, "That must be her. Just looking at her aura, you can tell she's someone important. To be able to reach such a position at such a young age is truly admirable."

Hearing these words, Lu Yining felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Although the pressure remained, she knew she was not alone. Returning to the office, she immediately called a meeting with several key employees and announced the new progress: "Everyone, we have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Mingyang Group. In the future, we will have greater financial and technical support. Please work together and keep going."

Amidst the cheers of the employees, one person excitedly said, "Great! With such strong support, our future will definitely be bright."

Another colleague exclaimed, "Mr. Lu, you are truly amazing. You always step up at critical moments and solve various problems."

"This isn't just my own efforts; it's the result of everyone's hard work," Lu Yining said modestly. "But we can't let our guard down. There's still a lot of work to do. Especially that negative report, we have to resolve it as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Lu Yining immediately began to arrange follow-up work. She first called her fourth uncle to inquire about the legal team's progress, and then contacted several friends in the industry for support.

While she was busy, Zhang Lin sent a message: "Ms. Lu, there is an industry dinner at 7 o'clock this evening. Many important business people will be in attendance. Would you like to come? Perhaps it will bring more opportunities for our cooperation."

Looking at this message, Lu Yining smiled slightly. This was a great opportunity, not only to further expand their network, but also to let more people see their determination and strength.
