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

"She looks fine, and doesn't seem to be troubled by anything." Another colleague smiled slightly, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Lu Yining smiled and nodded to her colleagues, then walked into her office. She sat at her desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

"Fourth Uncle, where are you?" Lu Yining's voice was still calm, but with a hint of firmness.

On the other side, Sheng Nanting stood on the balcony of a cafe, holding a mobile phone in his hand: "I'm at the usual place. Come over, I need to discuss something with you."

Lu Yining responded, hung up the phone, packed up her things, and left the office. She walked downstairs, got in the car, and headed straight to the familiar cafe.

In the cafe, Sheng Nanting was already sitting by the window, with an untouched cup of black coffee on the table. The sunlight streaming through the window onto him made him look even more calm and stern.

Lu Yining walked into the cafe and the waiter immediately came up to her: "Miss Lu, is this still the usual seat?"

Lu Yining nodded and walked straight towards Sheng Nanting. She sat opposite him, picked up a cup of coffee brought by the waiter, and took a sip.

"What happened last night?" Lu Yining asked.

Sheng Nanting looked out the window and said slowly, "I have some new plans for the Xu family. They think they can make me compromise by using some tricks, so let them see how I will deal with it."

Lu Yining nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "I know you will have your own plans. Fourth Uncle, what do you need me to do?"

Sheng Nanting turned his head, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Lu Yining, what I want you to do is not only to be my assistant, but also to be my companion. We need to face the next things together."

Lu Yining smiled slightly, with a firm look in his eyes: "No matter what happens, I am willing to face it with you."

At this time, the waiter came over and asked in a low voice: "What else do you two need?"

Sheng Nanting shook his head slightly: "No, thank you."

The waiter nodded and respectfully withdrew. They were the only two left in the room, and the atmosphere seemed to grow even more solemn.

"So, what should we do next?" Lu Yining asked again.

Sheng Nanting curled his lips into a cold smile, his eyes sharp: "Doesn't the Xu family want their son to come out? Then let them see their true ability and strength."

Lu Yining was slightly stunned, then she understood what Sheng Nanting meant. She knew that the next few days would be a fierce game.

"Fourth Uncle, I believe you can win." Lu Yining said softly, his eyes full of trust.

Sheng Nanting smiled slightly, stood up, and looked at her deeply: "Lu Yining, this is a battle, we win together."

They smiled at each other, their resolve and determination reaching its peak at this moment. Outside the door, a conversation between several passersby could be heard faintly:

"I heard that President Sheng is making another big move. I wonder what it will be like this time?"

"Yeah, the last incident caused quite a stir, so this time it's definitely going to be even more interesting."

“I really wish I could see it up close, it’s a rare opportunity!”

Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining looked at each other, their hearts filled with tacit understanding and determination. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns, they believed that as long as they worked hand in hand, nothing could stop them.

"Let's go, there are still many things waiting for us to do." Sheng Nanting stretched out his hand and motioned Lu Yining to leave together.

Lu Yining nodded and followed him toward the unknown challenge. Outside the cafe, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was gentle. The two of them walked side by side on the street, attracting the attention of countless passersby. There seemed to be an invisible magnetic field between them, making the air around them feel unusual.

"Hey, look, isn't that Mr. Sheng?" A young man pointed at Sheng Nanting not far away and whispered. His friends beside him also came over and looked at the two of them curiously.

"Wow, who is that woman next to him? She looks so elegant!" another passerby exclaimed.

"You don't even know this? She is Lu Yining, the company's vice president!"

"I heard that she and Mr. Sheng were childhood sweethearts, and they have always had a good relationship."

"Is this true? Such an outstanding woman, no wonder she can become the vice president!"

Lu Yining and Sheng Nanting ignored the whispers and walked forward silently. At this moment, a luxury car slowly stopped in front of them. The door opened, and a man in formal attire got out and saluted respectfully: "Mr. Sheng, Vice President Lu, please get in."

Sheng Nanting nodded slightly, motioning Lu Yining to get in the car first, and then he got in. The car started and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

The atmosphere in the car remained the same, calm and solemn. Sheng Nanting looked out the window, his brows furrowed. "Yining, how do you think we should plan our next move to ensure that nothing goes wrong?"

Lu Yining gently adjusted her hair, her eyes firm. "First, we need to investigate the Xu family's recent actions, especially their influence in the business world and who their supporters are. Second, I think we should use the resources at hand to weaken their power, such as through some commercial strikes or by joining forces with other rivals."

"Well, these are all good suggestions." Sheng Nanting agreed, "But the key is to find a breakthrough point to catch the Xu family off guard."

At this time, the car had already pulled into the front of a high-end office building. The driver got out and opened the door. Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining stepped into the elevator together, ready to go to the conference room on the top floor for an important meeting.

In the conference room, several core members of the company and legal advisors had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Sheng Nanting appear, everyone stood up to show their respect.

"President Sheng, Vice President Lu, you're here." One of the consultants spoke first. "We've conducted a preliminary investigation into the Xu family and collected some key information."

"Tell me about it." Sheng Nanting waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, his tone full of confidence and expectation.

The consultant nodded and began to report one by one: "According to our investigation, the Xu Group seems to be carrying out a large-scale merger and acquisition plan recently, targeting several small and medium-sized enterprises. If successful, the Xu Group will further expand its control over the local market..."

After listening to the report, Sheng Nanting's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was obviously quite dissatisfied with Xu's move. However, just as he was about to express his opinion, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"President Sheng, Vice President Lu, something bad has happened!" The office director rushed in, pushing the door open in a panic. "We just received word that the Xu Group is plotting a new round of attacks against our company! They're said to be holding a press conference tomorrow morning to reveal some information that's unfavorable to us!"
