Hidden truth, intricate love

One day, a foreign partner directly made harsh demands during a video conference and hinted that the cooperation would be terminated if they were not met.

"Mr. Lin, it is difficult for us to accept such a request." The technical director reported to Lin Yue after the meeting, his tone full of worry.

Lin Yue nodded and said calmly, "I will contact the other party personally and negotiate again. Our goal is to achieve a win-win situation, but if necessary, we must also prepare alternative plans."

To address this crisis, Lin Yue worked overtime overnight, researching the other company's background and core interests, and developing a detailed negotiation strategy. Despite the pressure, she faced every challenge with the utmost professionalism.

Just when Lin Yue was busy with her international project, Li Hao suddenly appeared in her office. When she looked up and saw him, her expression instantly turned cold.

"Mr. Li, is there something wrong?" There was a hint of alienation in her tone.

Li Hao looked at her with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes: "Lin Yue, I heard that your project encountered some problems. I have some resources that may be able to help."

Lin Yue put down the documents in her hand, looked directly at him, and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but this is an internal matter of our company and does not require external interference."

Li Hao frowned and said in a low voice, "Lin Yue, I don't mean to interfere. I just hope... to relieve your stress."

Lin Yue's expression didn't change at all. She said calmly, "Mr. Li, my pressure is my responsibility. I don't need anyone else to share it. If you really want to help, please don't interfere in my affairs anymore."

Her words were like a cold wall, completely blocking Li Hao's concern.

"Ms. Lin, this is truly fantastic!" the technical director excitedly said to her, "Not only did they agree to our terms, they're also willing to provide more resources for future collaborations."

Lin Yue smiled slightly, but she didn't feel much relief in her heart. She knew that behind every success, there was a bigger challenge next time.

Just when Lin Yue thought everything was on track, a familiar name appeared again - Gu Yao.

She reappeared at some important meetings in the industry and conveyed false information to partners through some obscure means in an attempt to shake Lin Yue's credibility.

"Boss Lin, several partners have suddenly asked to review the terms of their contracts," Lin Yue's secretary reported to her at a morning meeting. "These companies had previously been very cooperative, but recently their attitude has suddenly become very tough."

Lin Yue frowned, immediately realizing that someone was behind this. And this person, apart from Gu Yao, could not be anyone else.

"Continue to monitor the movements of these companies," she said coldly. "If you have more specific information, let me know immediately."

After learning about Gu Yao's actions, Li Hao quickly launched an investigation. He found that Gu Yao was putting pressure on the partners through some middlemen and trying to create more public opinion that was unfavorable to Lin Yue.

"She hasn't given up at all." Li Hao sat in the conference room, his eyes gloomy. "This time she wants to completely destroy Lin Yue's career."

He immediately arranged for his team to intervene, secretly contacting those partners who were influenced by Gu Yao, and used his own reputation and resources to stabilize the situation. At the same time, he also collected more information about Gu Yao's illegal behavior, preparing to expose it thoroughly.

"This time, I won't give her the chance to hurt Lin Yue again." He whispered, with determination in his eyes.

Lin Yue didn't sit idly by. She quickly mobilized internal company resources and collaborated with the legal department to launch a comprehensive investigation into Gu Yao's behavior. She also personally contacted several affected partners and provided them with sufficient evidence to prove that Gu Yao's behavior constituted pure malicious competition.

"Mr. Lin, we did hear some false rumors before," a senior executive from a partner told Lin Yue over the phone. "But we now believe someone is behind this. We are willing to continue supporting your project."

Lin Yue's calmness and professionalism once again won the trust of his partners, and Gu Yao's conspiracy was gradually unravelled.

Late one night, Lin Yue had just finished processing a document and was about to go home when her phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed it was Li Hao.

"Lin Yue, are you still in the company?" There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Lin Yue frowned and said calmly, "Mr. Li, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay." Li Hao's voice lowered. "I just wanted to remind you that you've been busy lately, so you should get some rest."

Lin Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your concern, but I can manage my own schedule."

"Lin Yue..." Li Hao whispered, "No matter what you think, I hope you can take good care of yourself. It's too hard for you to be alone."

When Lin Yue heard this, a complex emotion flashed through her mind for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Mr. Li, thank you for your reminder." Her tone remained calm, "But I'm fine. I don't need anyone to worry about me."

As the project gradually drew to a close, Lin Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. Standing by the office window, gazing at the twinkling stars in the night sky, her heart still brimming with mixed emotions.

"Why doesn't he give up?" Lin Yue whispered to herself, the image of Li Hao emerging in her mind. Although she always resisted, Li Hao's persistence touched her heart again and again.

Meanwhile, Li Hao sat in his office, looking through the latest progress report on Lin Yue's project. He knew he might never be able to enter her world, but his heart had never left her.

"Lin Yue, no matter how difficult it is, I will always be with you." He said softly, with deep persistence in his eyes.
