It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Desperate Counterattack

"You mean... this is a trap?" Wu Xinyan's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't believe that the report she had analyzed so painstakingly might be a trap deliberately set by the other party.

"No, it should be said that they deliberately left this flaw to throw us off balance." Luo Yichen turned around, a gleam in his eyes. "Take a closer look at this report, especially the part about raw material procurement."

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and opened the report again, examining the data line by line. Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, she pointed at a string of numbers and said, "This supplier... I think I've seen it somewhere."

"Ma's Building Materials, a little-known company, accounts for nearly one-third of Tiansheng Group's raw material supply." Luo Yichen walked to his desk, tapping the surface with his slender fingers. "How can a small company have such great power and provide such a huge supply?"

"You're saying there's something fishy going on between them?" Wu Xinyan suddenly realized. "On the surface, Tiansheng Group seems to have excellent cost control, but in reality, they're probably using fictitious transactions to conceal their true profits!"

"That's right!" Luo Yichen's eyes flashed with admiration, "Xinyan, you are really smart!"

"But how can we prove this?" Wu Xinyan frowned. Just guessing would not cause any substantial damage to Tiansheng Group.

"Since they're in the dark, let's find a way to force them out into the open." Luo Yichen sneered and dialed a number, "Please connect me to the technical department..."

Two days later, an explosive piece of news swept the entire business world - Tiansheng Group was exposed for financial fraud and suspected of tax evasion, and is currently under investigation by relevant departments!

The news caused an uproar. Tiansheng Group's stock price plummeted, and the company was thrown into chaos.

In the top-floor office of Luo Group, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling city.

"Thanks to you this time, we were able to turn the situation around so quickly." Luo Yichen looked at Wu Xinyan, his eyes full of tenderness, "You are really my lucky star."

"I just did what I should do." Wu Xinyan showed a faint smile on her face, but her heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, Analyst Liu knocked on the door and walked in with a hint of excitement on his face, "Mr. Luo, Director Wu, I have just analyzed the market data of Tiansheng Group in the past six months and found..." "What did you find?" Wu Xinyan turned around and asked, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

Analyst Liu took a deep breath and handed the documents to the two men. "I've discovered that over the past six months, Tiansheng Group has been engaging in low-price dumping to gain market share, even sacrificing product quality. According to my investigation, more and more consumers are expressing dissatisfaction with their products, and the complaint rate has skyrocketed."

"This is a good opportunity!" Wu Xinyan's eyes lit up. Although Tiansheng Group's radical strategy achieved certain results in the short term, it also laid hidden dangers for their future.

"I've developed a targeted marketing plan," said analyst Liu, pointing to the data on the document. "We can capitalize on Tiansheng Group's product quality issues to increase publicity for our products. At the same time, we can offer more favorable after-sales service policies to attract consumers who are disappointed with Tiansheng Group."

"Okay! We'll do as you say!" Luo Yichen said decisively. "Also, how's the situation with the horse supplier?"

"I've contacted the relevant authorities, and they've promised to investigate this matter as quickly as possible and ensure that no legitimate business will be wrongly accused," Wu Xinyan replied. "I believe the Malaysian supplier will be able to resume normal operations soon."

As Wu Xinyan anticipated, with the help of the Roche Group, the issue of the Malaysian supplier's raw materials being seized was quickly resolved. The Malaysian supplier, deeply grateful for the Roche Group's generous assistance, immediately decided to sign a long-term supply agreement with the group, promising to provide the highest-quality raw materials at the most favorable prices.

Everything is moving in a direction that is favorable to the Luo Group, but Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen have not let down their guard. They know that this business war is far from over and the Tiansheng Group will definitely not give up.

Three days later, a grand industry summit was held in City A, and Wang Tianming, chairman of Tiansheng Group, was invited to attend. At the meeting, Wang Tianming spoke eloquently, promoting Tiansheng Group's business philosophy and future development plans in an attempt to regain the confidence of investors and consumers.

Wu Xinyan, sitting in the audience, watched the high-spirited Wang Tianming on stage with a subtle sneer. She gently opened her laptop and clicked on a video file...

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to present something to you..." Wu Xinyan stood up and walked towards the podium, her clear voice echoing throughout the venue. She walked to the center of the stage, elegant and confident, without a trace of the timidity of a newcomer. Everyone in the audience, including Wang Tianming, was fixed on her.

"Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. Here, I would like to share some of my views on business ethics and corporate responsibility." Wu Xinyan's voice was clear and firm, echoing in the conference hall.

"For a company to win the market and earn consumer recognition, it relies not only on low-price competition but also, more importantly, on product and service quality. If a company blindly pursues profits while ignoring product quality and social responsibility, it will ultimately lose consumer trust and its future."

Wu Xinyan paused, her gaze sweeping across the audience before finally landing on Wang Tianming's face. "Recently, some companies have been sacrificing product quality and even maliciously suppressing their competitors in order to gain market share. This behavior not only violates business ethics, but also severely damages consumer rights!"

A flurry of whispers erupted in the meeting room, with everyone speculating about who Wu Xinyan was referring to. Wang Tianming's expression darkened, but he maintained a smile, as if everything was under control.

"I know everyone is curious about who this company I'm talking about is. So, please watch a video next." Wu Xinyan said, lightly clicking the mouse, and a video began to play on the screen behind her.

The video shows a factory in a filthy and chaotic environment, with workers producing low-quality raw materials without protective gear. The video also exposes scenes of the factory's director and the purchasing manager of Tiansheng Group engaging in profiteering, providing damning evidence.

The venue erupted in an uproar, and everyone's gaze towards Wang Tianming suddenly changed. Wang Tianming had never imagined that Wu Xinyan actually possessed such damning evidence. He suddenly stood up, pointed at Wu Xinyan, and roared, "You're slandering me! I'm suing you for defamation!"

Wu Xinyan looked at Wang Tianming calmly, a mocking smile on her lips. "Chairman Wang, I advise you to first think about how to explain this to consumers and investors!"

The video quickly went viral online, sparking a huge uproar. Consumers strongly condemned Tiansheng Group's inferior products, and investors dumped its shares, sending the company's stock plummeting and plunging it into an unprecedented crisis.

Just as Tiansheng Group was struggling, a crucial partnership opportunity presented itself to the Luo Group. Leveraging his connections, Luo Yichen secured a strategic partnership with a renowned international company. The company would provide the Roche Group with advanced technology and equipment, and help it expand into overseas markets.

The news sent shockwaves through the industry. Everyone knew this meant the Luo Group would gain greater competitiveness and greater room for development. All of this was possible thanks to the tacit cooperation and decisive decision-making of Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen.

Late at night, in the office of Luo Group, Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night view of the city.

"We won this battle beautifully." Wu Xinyan said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her tone, but more of the joy of victory.

"This is just the beginning," Luo Yichen turned his head and looked at Wu Xinyan, his deep eyes full of determination, "We still have a long way to go..." Before he finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly. Luo Yichen glanced at the caller ID and his face changed slightly...

Luo Yichen frowned slightly, answered the phone, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Luo, Wang Tianming is here with his lawyer and wants to negotiate with us..."

Luo Yichen hung up the phone, a chill in his eyes. He held Wu Xinyan's hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Wu Xinyan held his hand in return and gave him a firm look.

At the negotiation table, Wang Tianming lost his usual arrogance and put on a fake smile. "Mr. Luo, Ms. Wu, everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. I'm here today with a sincere desire to reconcile with the Luo Group."

Luo Yichen watched his performance calmly, sneering inwardly. Wang Tianming must have been desperate to come to them for reconciliation.

"Oh? How does Chairman Wang want to reconcile?" Luo Yichen's tone was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Wang Tianming rubbed his hands and said with an apologetic smile, "I am willing to publicly apologize to the Luo Group and compensate them for all their losses. I only hope that Mr. Luo will be magnanimous and give Tiansheng Group a chance to survive."

"Give Tiansheng Group a chance to survive?" Wu Xinyan sneered. "Then, Chairman Wang, have you ever thought about how Tiansheng Group wiped out the Luo Group?"

A hint of embarrassment crossed Wang Tianming's face, but he still said shamelessly, "Winners take all. The business world is like a battlefield. I was blinded by profit at the time. I beg Mr. Luo and Ms. Wu to show some mercy."

"Could you please spare me?" Luo Yichen threw a document in front of Wang Tianming. "Let's take a look at this first."

Wang Tianming picked up the document with suspicion and began to look through it, his face gradually turning pale. This document contained evidence of Tiansheng Group's tax evasion and bribery over the years. If exposed, Tiansheng Group would face catastrophic consequences.

"You..." Wang Tianming looked at Luo Yichen in horror, speechless.

"Chairman Wang, the business world is like a battlefield, but fair competition is paramount." Luo Yichen said in a cold tone, "Since you've chosen to take a shortcut, you must bear the consequences."

Wang Tianming's face was ashen. He knew he had lost completely today, and that Tiansheng Group was finished. He slumped in his chair, his eyes empty, like a walking corpse.

Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan ignored his miserable state and stood up to leave the meeting room.

After walking out of the conference room, Wu Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Luo Yichen, her eyes full of admiration and love: "Yichen, thank you."

Luo Yichen gently put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "We are husband and wife, there's no need to thank me."

After this turmoil, Roche Group's market share gradually recovered and the company's financial situation has improved significantly, but they know that true victory will take time and more efforts.

Inside the office, analyst Liu was reporting the latest market trends to Luo Yichen. "Mr. Luo, according to the data we have, Tiansheng Group has recently encountered serious problems with its capital chain. Several banks have stopped lending to them..."

Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan exchanged glances. Everything was going according to their plan.

"Keep following up," Luo Yichen's eyes flashed with a gleam, "It's time to deal a fatal blow to Tiansheng Group..."
