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

Just as everyone was casting admiring glances at her, two people standing in a corner not far away were also quietly observing her. One of them, a young man in a well-tailored suit, whispered, "This is the Miss Lu Yining you were talking about, right? She's as outstanding as the rumors say."

Another man sneered, "Hmph, don't forget our purpose. When the time is right, we'll let everyone see her true face."

Meanwhile, at another booth, a woman was asking her companion: "Hey, how did that girl do it? She seems to be able to do everything with ease."

My friend enviously said, "I guess it's a combination of talent and hard work. She's received a quality education since she was young, so her starting point was much higher than ours... Oh, I really hope I can ask her for advice on how to study!"

After the exhibition, Lu Yining had in-depth discussions with several potential partners and reached preliminary agreements. Just as she was about to leave, a staff member handed her a note with only one line of words on it: [Lin Han wants to see you]

After reading the note, Lu Yining's expression turned serious. "It seems like I really can't avoid this storm," she thought secretly.

It was late at night when he returned to his residence, but his mind was still filled with the various scenes he had seen during the day and the unknown challenges that were about to come. Lu Yining sat on the bed and pondered for a while, then picked up his phone and called Fang Bo.

"Mr. Fang, I'm Lu Yining. Regarding the person who calls himself 'Lin Han' who came to me... we need to seriously consider a countermeasure."

Fang Bo responded with a serious tone, "Yes, I understand. We'll discuss this matter in detail tomorrow. Get some rest tonight and don't overwork yourself."

Before hanging up, he added, "Remember, no matter what challenges you face, we'll support you. Keep going!"

Lu Yining nodded. Although the other party couldn't see her, she could still feel the warmth and support from behind.

In the dead of night, only the occasional light from a passing car illuminates a corner of the room. The air is filled with a sense of tension and mystery...

"I hope all the mysteries can be solved tomorrow." Lu Yining whispered to himself, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the curtains and shone into the house, a new story was about to begin...

"No matter what, I will never give up." This was the most resolute voice in her heart the moment she woke up. The next morning, Lu Yining dressed and drove to the company. Although her heart was filled with anxiety, her face remained calm. As soon as she entered the building lobby, she was surrounded by several colleagues.

"Vice President Lu, good morning! I heard that you have negotiated several big deals after your business trip. That's amazing!" A young woman said excitedly, her eyes sparkling with admiration and envy.

"Thank you for the compliment. The team's efforts are the most important." Lu Yining responded with a smile, trying to make his voice sound confident.

Before the elevator doors slowly closed, a senior employee whispered to the person next to him, "See? Our new vice president is really something. He's established himself so quickly."

The other nodded in agreement, "Yeah, and she's so young..." He paused, lowered his voice and continued, "I hope she doesn't get targeted by anyone."

Lu Yining stood in the elevator, listening to the conversation behind her, without showing any unusual reaction. She knew in her heart that she had to be extremely cautious with every step now.

Soon after arriving at the office, Fang Bo sent someone to call her in. In addition to Fang Bo, there were several other senior leaders in the conference room, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

"Everyone already knows that Lin Han wants to see us," Fang Bo said straight to the point, handing her a folder. "Here's some information about this person. Have you read it?"

Lu Yining nodded, flipping through the documents in his hand, his brow furrowed. "From this information, it seems he has considerable hostility towards our company, and it also involves some unresolved historical issues..."

"That's true," another executive chimed in. "But we don't need to worry too much. As long as we're well prepared, we'll be fine."

"So, regarding today's meeting place and time..." Fang Bo turned to Lu Yining, "What do you think would be a better arrangement?"

After thinking for a moment, she answered firmly, "Let's do it in our company. This way we can ensure safety while also taking the initiative."

The few of them spent the next few days discussing specific plans, including how to deal with various possible situations. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to support Lu Yining's proposal.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Han arrived as scheduled. He was dressed in a black suit and had a somewhat arrogant air on his face. As soon as he entered the door, the receptionist recognized him: "Oh, isn't this the gentleman who came a few days ago?"

A colleague next to him murmured, "Is this the legendary tough guy? He looks quite imposing."

The receptionist immediately led Lin Han to the conference room door, where a sign reading "Meeting in Progress" was hung. She knocked twice, then slowly opened it after receiving permission.

The room was full of people, but everyone was looking at the woman sitting in the front row—Lu Yining. She calmly stared at Lin Han, who had just entered, her eyes revealing unquestionable power.

"Please sit down, Mr. Lin." Her tone was calm yet dignified.

Lin Han frowned slightly, clearly a bit surprised by the scene. He slowly sat down and sneered, "I didn't expect you would choose this way to meet me. It seems you are truly prepared?"

"Of course, I always believe that communication is more effective than confrontation." Lu Yining responded calmly, and at the same time signaled to his colleagues with his eyes not to be nervous.

The meeting dragged on for a long time, with both sides engaging in heated discussions over their respective interests. The entire process was extremely tense, with little room for compromise. Finally, Lu Yining proposed a new plan, temporarily easing the situation.

"I think we can start by collaborating on small projects. This way, we can protect the interests of both parties and reduce unnecessary conflicts. What do you think?"

Lin Han pondered for a long time, and finally smiled: "Okay, I agree. But this is just the first step. No one can predict what will happen in the future."

After the meeting, when everyone was leaving, Lu Yining stood by the window and stared into the distance. At this time, her cell phone rang, and the screen showed that it was a call from her mother.

"Hey, Mom, what's going on?"

"Yining, come back early for dinner tonight. Your dad wants to see you too... Also, remember to be safe."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yining took a deep breath, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes. Although the road ahead was unknown, she believed that as long as she was strong enough, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.
