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

After the two sat down, Fang Bo handed her a document and said, "This is the detailed arrangement for your new position. I believe you are fully capable of handling this position, and I hope you can lead our company to an even brighter future."

Lu Yining took the document and read it carefully. It detailed the responsibilities and authority she would assume. She felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness, but also a sense of confidence. "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your trust. I will do my best to live up to your trust."

Just then, there was a commotion outside the door, and a young man rushed in, angrily saying, "Mr. Fang, you must give me an explanation for this matter!"

Fang Bo frowned and said in a deep voice, "Li Yang, can't you just talk it over? We have guests here."

The young man, known as Li Yang, gasped, clearly out of control. "My project was canceled for no reason. I need an explanation!"

Seeing this, Lu Yining stood up and said, "Mr. Fang, if it's inconvenient, I can leave for a while..."

"No need." Fang Bo shook his head and looked at Li Yang. "This matter was indeed discussed and decided by the senior management. If you are dissatisfied, you can submit a complaint according to company regulations."

Li Yang's eyes widened, clearly unable to accept such a result, and he left the meeting room angrily. Seeing this, several staff members outside the door began to discuss the situation.

An older female employee said to her colleagues: "It's so pitiful that his project was cancelled despite being so well done."

Another young male employee sighed softly, "But you've also seen Ms. Lu. Her aura is truly strong. I feel like we're far behind her."

Lu Yining smiled slightly and thought to himself: It seems that if I want to gain a foothold in such a competitive environment, I must work harder.

That afternoon, Lu Yining attended an industry forum. The guests on stage were all industry leaders, discussing how to find new breakthroughs in the current situation. When it was her turn to speak, everyone fell silent, waiting to hear the insights of this promising young "Iron Lady."

Lu Yining stood up and said calmly, "My dear seniors, I believe that in the current market environment, innovation is the direction we must always adhere to. Only by constantly exploring unknown areas can we remain invincible."

These words resonated with many present, especially several young people, whose eyes sparkled with admiration and yearning. "What she said was so beautiful," a young girl whispered to her friend. "I want to be like her."

After the meeting, several people gathered around her, eager to ask for her advice on her success. One bright-looking young man asked directly, "Ms. Lu, how do you manage to remain calm and proactive in the face of difficulties?"

Lu Yining smiled gently and replied, "Actually, there is no secret. The key is to have confidence in yourself and to persevere no matter how big the setbacks are."

The young man nodded thoughtfully. "I see. I've learned a lot from this."

In the evening, after a busy day, Lu Yining returned home. Zhang Xiumin had specially prepared some of her favorite dishes for her to enjoy. After dinner, mother and daughter sat in the living room, drinking tea and chatting, when the phone suddenly rang—it was her fourth uncle.

After the call was connected, Fourth Uncle's voice came: "Yining, the lawyer has the latest news. The article has been withdrawn, and the other party has publicly apologized. Don't worry, this matter has been completely resolved!"

Putting down the phone, Lu Yining's face was filled with a relaxed smile, "Mom, good news, the report has finally been clarified!"

However, just as they were immersed in joy, there was a rapid knock on the door. When they opened the door, it turned out to be the mysterious man - Lin Han.

Lin Han stood at the doorway with a grim expression, his eyes flickering with subtle malice. "Ms. Lu Yining, do you think this is over? The real battle has just begun." Lu Yining frowned slightly, her heart suddenly filled with vigilance. She stood up and looked at Lin Han calmly. Her voice was calm but firm. "Mr. Lin, I don't know what you mean, but I want to remind you that this is my home, not a place you can just barge into."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiumin quickly stood up from the sofa and said worriedly: "Yining..."

"Mom, it's okay." Lu Yining comforted his mother, then turned to Lin Han and continued, "Mr. Lin, please leave first. If there is anything you need to discuss, we can meet at the company."

Lin Han raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes sinister: "Do you think I care about this? Lu Yining, we will meet soon, and then you will know what a real contest is."

After saying that, he turned and strode away. Lu Yining looked at his back and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She returned to the living room and sat down, taking a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Zhang Xiumin asked nervously, "Yining, who is this person? Why is he talking to you like that?"

"Mom, I don't know either. But don't worry, I will handle it carefully."

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. It turned out to be Aunt Zhang, the neighbor next door, who happened to be passing by and heard Lin Han's voice. She walked in and said, "Hey, Yining, what was going on just now? That person seemed very aggressive."

Lu Yining smiled and said as casually as possible: "Oh, Aunt Zhang, that's a competitor of ours at work. He's a little unhappy. Don't take it too seriously."

"Wow, Yining is now a little star in our building. I didn't expect that even her opponent is so strong." Aunt Zhang said in surprise, "It really makes me envious and worried!"

Lu Yining smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. Everyone encounters various problems. The key is how to solve them. Thank you for your concern."

After seeing Aunt Zhang off, the house returned to peace. However, the dark cloud did not dissipate, but instead grew heavier.

"Mom, I'm going on a business trip to inspect several projects these days. Please keep an eye on the situation at home for me. Remember to call me as soon as anything happens." Lu Yining instructed his mother and began to pack things for the next day's trip.

Over the next week, Lu Yining traveled to several cities, bustling around branches. During this time, she also attended a major industry exhibition. Standing at the Ming Yang Group booth, she was met with praise and discussion.

"Look, that's Ming Yang's new vice president. He's achieved such success at such a young age. It's really remarkable!"

"That's right. I heard they are developing a new high-tech project recently. The prospects are very promising."
