Li Chenxuan extended his right hand, and Lin Yue gently extended her hand as well, their palms slowly touching. Li Chenxuan's hand was warm and strong, and he squeezed Lin Yue's hand with a slight force, his movements gentle but firm.

Lin Yue's eyes grew gentler as she gazed at Li Chenxuan, his presence the only thing in her gaze. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously as she softly said, "Boss Li, I believe our cooperation will be a pleasure."

Li Chenxuan felt Lin Yue's gaze and was slightly startled, then responded with a smile: "Of course, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yue's fingers gently rubbed the back of Li Chenxuan's hand before slowly releasing it. Li Chenxuan's heart seemed to be stirred by this gentle touch.

Li Chenxuan watched Lin Yue release her hand, but the ripples in his heart didn't dissipate immediately. He calmed himself down and said, "Boss Lin, we need to finalize the team formation plan as soon as possible."

Lin Yue nodded gently, "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll start preparing the relevant materials when I get back, and we'll discuss it in detail tomorrow."

Li Chenxuan responded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yue turned and left. Li Chenxuan looked at her back and fell into a brief moment of contemplation. He couldn't help but think of Lin Yue's gentle eyes just now, and he felt a little confused and a little strange.

Back in the office, Li Chenxuan sat in the chair, rubbed his temples, and tried to focus back on his work, but Lin Yue's figure and eyes always appeared in his mind from time to time.

At this time, Zhao Yu was calling Li Chenxuan. When Li Chenxuan picked up, he heard Zhao Yu anxiously say, "Mr. Li, there's a new woman at the company, Lin Wan." Li Chenxuan frowned and asked, "What's Lin Wan's background?" Zhao Yu replied, "I don't know the details yet, but I heard she previously had an outstanding performance at a well-known company in the industry." Li Chenxuan said thoughtfully, "Let's observe her first and see what she's capable of." Then he hung up.

Duration: approximately 3 minutes:

Zhao Yu called Li Chenxuan and said hurriedly, "Mr. Li, there's something new at the company. A Ms. Su from Hongsheng Group wants to work with us, expressing interest in our latest project. However, after initial contact, I've discovered that Ms. Su's terms are somewhat demanding. She demands a larger share of the project revenue and a greater say in decision-making. I believe this could impact our company's interests. However, if we refuse her cooperation request, we're worried we'll miss out on a great development opportunity. After all, Hongsheng Group does have considerable influence and resources in the industry. Mr. Li, how do you think we should handle this?"

Li Chenxuan pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone and said, "Zhao Yu, don't rush. Learn more about Miss Su's background and the true intentions of her group. See if they have any other demands or potential cooperation opportunities. Also, clearly outline the advantages of our project and our uncompromising bottom line, and prepare for further negotiations with her. Remember, while ensuring the interests of the company, try to find a cooperation plan that is acceptable to both parties."

Zhao Yu responded, "Okay, Mr. Li, I understand. I'll do as you say right away."

Li Chenxuan continued, "Report progress to me at any time, and communicate promptly if you have any questions."

Zhao Yu replied, "I understand, Mr. Li. That's it for now. I'm going to get busy."

Li Chenxuan: "Well, go ahead."

Lin Wan and Su Liyue had made a bet for some reason. Su Liyue angrily called Su Yifeng and told him, "That Lin Wan is totally unreasonable. I'm going to make her pay this time!"

Zhao Yu got the news from somewhere upstairs and quickly told Li Chenxuan: "Boss Li, this is bad. Miss Su and Lin Wan are making a bet, and Miss Su also said some unpleasant things to Su Yifeng."

Li Chenxuan frowned and said, "If this is not good for us, we will refuse to cooperate with Miss Su."

Zhao Yu quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mr. Li, I understand." Then he hung up the phone.

When Lin Wan received the news, she was so scared that she sat down with a pale face.

Su Liyue smiled and said proudly, "See, I was right."

Lin Wan gathered herself together and said calmly, "You're amazing."

Su Liyue smiled again, extended her hand to Lin Wan, and said, "Alright, bygones are bygones. Let's have a pleasant cooperation."

Lin Wan hesitated for a moment, but still held Su Liyue's hand.

Su Liyue smiled again, her eyes full of confidence and expectation.

The more Li Chenxuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He picked up his phone and called Zhao Yu, "Zhao Yu, which company does this Miss Su you're talking about work for?"

Zhao Yu on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat helpless: "Boss Li, I don't know either. I only know that she wants to discuss cooperation with us."

Li Chenxuan frowned and said curiously, "Then go and check it out for me quickly. This matter is very strange."

Zhao Yu was investigating Miss Su's background when he suddenly received a call from Lin Wan. The person on the other end of the line said firmly, "We have decided not to cooperate with your company. Someone has already reached an agreement with us." Zhao Yu was startled and quickly said, "How could this be..." Before he could finish, the other party hung up.

Zhao Yu was so frightened that his hands were shaking. He quickly called Li Chenxuan and stammered, "Boss Li, this is bad. Lin Wan's company called and said they refuse to cooperate with us and have already partnered with someone else."

When Li Chenxuan heard this, his expression instantly darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't panic for now. Explain the details to me in detail."

Zhao Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Boss Li, I didn't have time to ask more questions. They hung up the phone right after they finished speaking, without giving me a chance to communicate."

Li Chenxuan paced back and forth in the office, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Immediately contact other relevant personnel in Lin Wan's company to find out what happened and see if there is any room for recovery."

Zhao Yu quickly responded, "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll do it right away."

After a while, Zhao Yu called again, his voice filled with frustration: "Boss Li, I asked around, but no one can explain the specific situation. I only know that it was a direct decision made by the top management."

Li Chenxuan slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily: "Keep investigating, we must find the reason!"

Zhao Yu replied timidly, "Yes, Mr. Li."

After a while, Zhao Yu finally brought a clue: "Boss Li, I heard that it seems that our competitor has offered Lin Wan Company more favorable conditions."

Li Chenxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare a new cooperation plan, and I will go to talk to Lin Wan in person."
