Double evil in the business district

The night was thick, and the lights at Juli Heavy Industry's office building were ablaze. Xiao Yue hurried over and headed straight for the general manager's office. She knew time was running out, and every second depended on the lives of the trapped employees.

"Mr. Xiao, you're here." The general manager of Juli Heavy Industry spoke politely, but with a subtle hint of alienation.

"Mr. Wang, I hope you can arrange the transportation of relief supplies as soon as possible." Xiao Yue went straight to the point with a firm tone.

Mr. Wang looked troubled. "Mr. Xiao, we understand the urgency of the situation, but..." He paused and handed an anonymous report to Xiao Yue. "We have received this report, expressing concern about Xiao's financial situation."

Xiao Yue took the report, quickly skimmed through it, and sneered inwardly. This was clearly a frame-up by Director Chen! She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "Mr. Wang, the contents of this report are completely fabricated. Xiao's financial situation is sound and we are fully capable of paying for this batch of supplies. I can provide you with the latest financial statements and am willing to pay a partial deposit upfront."

She took out the prepared documents and handed them to Mr. Wang, "Mr. Wang, I know you have difficulties too. But human lives are at stake, so please put the overall situation first. The smooth delivery of this relief supply is not only related to the safety of the trapped employees, but also to the reputation of our two companies." Xiao Yue spoke sincerely, her eyes full of sincerity.

Mr. Wang pondered for a moment, but was ultimately moved by Xiao Yue's sincerity and the prospect of future cooperation with Xiao's company. "Okay, Mr. Xiao, I believe you. We will arrange the transportation of the supplies as soon as possible, please rest assured."

Xiao Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease. She immediately contacted the transportation team to confirm that the supplies would be delivered to the rescue site as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, the situation at the rescue site remained dire. Shen Ting led the rescue team, struggling to make their way through the rubble. They had just rescued a group of trapped employees and were about to move deeper when a massive piece of building debris suddenly fell from the sky, crashing straight towards Shen Ting!

"Mr. Shen, be careful!" Engineer Li exclaimed.

Shen Ting reacted quickly, dodging the blow by leaning sideways, but the immense force still caused him to stumble a few steps. He ignored the pain and immediately organized the rescue efforts.

"Everyone be careful! Stay safe!" Shen Ting's voice echoed in the ruins, firm and powerful.

He led the rescue team, overcoming numerous difficulties, step by step to the location of the trapped employees. Time passed by, and the atmosphere at the rescue site became increasingly tense.

"Report! New signs of life have been found!" a firefighter shouted excitedly.

Shen Ting's spirits lifted, and he immediately ordered the rescue team to speed up. At this moment, an anxious voice came from his intercom: "Mr. Shen, Doctor Zhao requests support! The operating room is urgently needed..."

Shen Ting's heart sank suddenly. He knew that this meant there were more injured people who needed urgent treatment. He glanced in the direction of the trapped employees, then glanced at the intercom, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes.

"Continue the rescue!" He finally made the decision, his tone firm and decisive, "Tell Doctor Zhao we'll be there soon!"

Xiao Yue hung up the phone with Mr. Wang, her heart still hanging in the air. The problem of transporting supplies had been solved, but the situation at the rescue site remained unclear. She immediately called Shen Ting, but only got a busy signal. Anxiety washed over her like a tide, and she could only constantly refresh the news broadcast of the rescue site, praying for a miracle.

Meanwhile, in the hospital operating room, Dr. Zhao removed his blood-stained mask and leaned wearily against the wall. He had just completed a six-hour emergency surgery, successfully saving a patient whose chest had been pierced by a steel bar. The operating room was filled with the thick smell of disinfectant, mixed with the faint scent of blood, making it feel suffocating.

Nurse Wu handed him a glass of warm water and said softly, "Doctor Zhao, you've worked hard."

Doctor Zhao forced a smile, took the cup, and drank it all. "There are still several seriously injured patients waiting for surgery. I can't rest." He said, then turned and walked to the next operating table.

The atmosphere at Xiao's corporate headquarters was tense. In the conference room, Director Chen passionately expounded on the "crimes" of Xiao Yue and Shen Ting. He embellished the contents of the anonymous accusation, implying that Xiao Yue and Shen Ting had sacrificed the company's interests, even disregarding the lives of their employees, for their own personal gain.

"I think Xiao Yue and Shen Ting are no longer suitable to continue leading the company!" Director Chen concluded in a resounding voice, his eyes full of pride.

As soon as he finished speaking, several shareholders echoed him, and the conference room erupted in an uproar. Xiao Yue's face paled, but she remained calm. She knew this was a carefully orchestrated plot by Director Chen to oust her and Shen Ting. She took a deep breath and was about to open her mouth to refute him, but Shen Ting stood up first.

"Dear directors, I know you all have many doubts about Xiao Yue and me." Shen Ting's voice was low and powerful, "But please believe that everything we do is for the company and for our employees.

The Juli Heavy Industry project is crucial to the Xiao Group. We will never abandon it for personal gain. He paused, his eyes sweeping over everyone present. "As for the contents of the anonymous report, they are pure malicious slander. We reserve the right to pursue legal action."

Shen Ting's words were so powerful that some wavering shareholders began to reconsider. However, Director Chen wasn't about to give up. He sneered and said, "Mr. Shen, that's easy for you to say. Now that Juli Heavy Industry's project has stalled and suffered heavy losses, how will you explain this to the company?"

Just as Shen Ting was about to answer, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Engineer Li. He stepped aside to answer the call, and Engineer Li's anxious voice came over the phone: "Mr. Shen, we've encountered a difficult technical problem. I'm worried..."

Shen Ting's expression suddenly changed. "I understand. I'll be right there." He hung up the phone and turned to look at Xiao Yue, his eyes filled with worry. "New problems have arisen on the Juli Heavy Industry project..." Shen Ting hung up the phone, a heavy cloud of gloom hanging over his brow. "Engineer Li said they discovered a new technical problem while dismantling the damaged equipment. If it's not resolved promptly, the entire project will be delayed by at least a month."

Xiao Yue's heart sank. The Juli Heavy Industry project was crucial to the Xiao Corporation. Any delay would result in huge financial losses. But she didn't panic. Instead, she calmly asked, "What exactly is the problem?"

Shen Ting briefly explained the technical difficulties described by Engineer Li on the phone, which involved the replacement of a key component and required a special material that no domestic manufacturer currently produces.

"I'll contact overseas suppliers." Xiao Yue made a prompt decision.

"I've already contacted them," Shen Ting said with a hint of fatigue, "It will take at least a week for the goods to arrive."

A week was too long for them. Every day of delay meant a greater loss. Xiao Yue's mind raced, thinking of a solution.

At this moment, Shen Ting's phone rang again. This time, it was Firefighter Zhou at the rescue site. "Mr. Shen, we've found a new rescue channel, but we need a special hydraulic expander to open it."

"I'll arrange it right away!" Xiao Yue answered the phone with a firm tone. She immediately contacted the city fire department and asked them to provide the necessary equipment.

As time ticked by, Xiao Yue and Shen Ting toiled tirelessly, coordinating resources and solving one problem after another. Their efforts led to further progress in the rescue effort, with trapped workers gradually being rescued.

Meanwhile, good news came from Engineer Li. After repeated experiments, he finally found an alternative solution. Although it was not as ideal as the original one, it could at least ensure the continuation of the project.

In the evening, Xiao Yue and Shen Ting dragged themselves wearily back to Xiao's corporate headquarters. While they had made some progress in rescuing and saving the project, a crisis of trust within the company persisted. Director Chen's schemes continued to unfold, and some shareholders had lost confidence in them.

"We must hold a general staff meeting as soon as possible to clarify the facts," Xiao Yue suggested.

Shen Ting nodded, "I'll arrange it."

Just then, Director Chen and several shareholders approached with a mocking smile. "Mr. Shen, Mr. Xiao, you've worked hard. However, I urge you to give up quickly. The Juli Heavy Industry project is beyond saving."

Xiao Yue and Shen Ting exchanged a look of determination. They knew that this battle had just begun.

"Director Chen," Xiao Yue's voice was calm and powerful, "you seem to have great confidence in us."

Director Chen sneered, "It's not that I have confidence in you, but I have confidence in the facts. Just wait and see, Xiao's will soon..." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yue's cell phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID. It was her assistant. "Mr. Xiao, all the staff are here, waiting for you in the conference room..."
