Double evil in the business district

Amy took a deep breath, "I believe you, Xiao." Xiao Yue's voice was a little tired, but still firm: "Give me some time, I will handle everything." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yue rubbed her eyebrows. Reporter Li's attack this time was more fierce than ever before. The pressure of international public opinion was like a mountain, making her breathless.

The office door was gently pushed open and Shen Ting walked in. He placed a cup of hot coffee in front of Xiao Yue, his eyes full of worry and heartache.

"Are you okay?" he asked softly.

Xiao Yue forced a smile, "It's okay, just a little tired." Shen Ting sat down beside her and took her in his arms, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

In the next few days, Xiao Yue and Shen Ting worked until late at night almost every day.

The phone kept ringing, and questions kept coming from partners around the world.

Explain, clarify, comfort, over and over again, they keep spinning like two spinning tops.

David also called, his tone carrying a subtle hint of tentativeness. "Mr. Shen, Ms. Xiao, I've seen the recent news. Is the project...really okay?" Shen Ting said coldly, "Mr. David, our project's funding is very healthy. There's no need to worry." David smiled. "That's good, that's good. I'm just concerned about the project's progress."

Faced with increasing doubts, Xiao Yue and Shen Ting decided not to passively explain anymore. They invited an internationally renowned auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of the project funds.

A few days later, the audit report came out, showing that the project's funding was in good condition and there were no problems.

They made the audit report public, severely slapping reporter Li in the face.

The direction of international public opinion began to change, and the previous questioning voices gradually subsided.

At the celebration banquet, Xiao Yue raised his wine glass with a long-lost smile on his face.

Shen Ting stood beside her, looking at her gently.

Suddenly, Shen Ting's phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen and his expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yue noticed that something was wrong with him.

"David..." Shen Ting paused, "He asked me to meet him tomorrow."

The next day, Shen Ting arrived at the restaurant designated by David as promised.

David smiled broadly, as if all the temptations and doubts he had faced before had never happened.

"Mr. Shen, long time no see." He raised his glass and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry that you have been wronged this time." Shen Ting clinked glasses with him calmly, his eyes as deep as the sea, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"No, the business world is like a battlefield. This little disturbance is nothing."

After the pleasantries, David got down to business.

"To be honest, Mr. Shen, I have taken a fancy to several core members of your team. They are very capable and I admire them very much. I wonder if you can give them up?" As he spoke, he pushed a generous contract in front of Shen Ting, "In terms of treatment, they will definitely not be treated unfairly." Shen Ting curled his lips into a sneer. He had guessed David's intention as early as the first time he called to test the waters.

He picked up the contract, flipped through it casually, and then gently placed it on the table.

"Mr. David, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

The smile on David's face froze, "What does Mr. Shen mean?"

Shen Ting calmly explained, "Our company places great emphasis on talent development and offers them generous compensation and ample room for development. More importantly," he paused, his tone emphasizing, "we have signed non-compete agreements with all our core employees."

David's face turned a little ugly. He didn't expect that Shen Ting was already prepared.

At this moment, several core employees of Xiao and Shen walked into the restaurant. They walked straight to Shen Ting and greeted him respectfully.

"Mr. Shen, we heard that Mr. David wants to invite us to join his team, so we've come here to express our position," one of the representatives said. "We are very grateful to Mr. Shen and Ms. Xiao for their training. We will not leave the company and will continue to contribute our strength to the company."

David was completely dumbfounded. His carefully planned poaching plan failed. His face felt hot as if he had been slapped hard in the face.

He smiled awkwardly, "It seems I misunderstood..."

Shen Ting stood up, straightened his suit, looked down at David with a cold tone, "Mr. David, in the business competition, I hope you can be fair and honest, instead of playing these conspiracies and tricks." After that, he turned and left, leaving David sitting there alone with a sullen face.

When Shen Ting returned to the company, he saw Xiao Yue slumped over the desk, his face pale and his breathing rapid...

He walked quickly to her side and called softly, "Xiao Yue? Xiao Yue!"

When Xiao Yue woke up, she found herself lying in the lounge of Shen Ting's office.

The dazzling white light made her feel a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously raised her hand to block it, but it pulled the infusion needle and caused a slight stinging pain.

"Awake?" A low and gentle voice sounded in my ears.

Xiao Yue turned around and saw Shen Ting sitting beside the bed, his eyes full of concern.

She smiled weakly, "What's wrong with me?"

"You're exhausted." Shen Ting gently stroked her hair. "Don't worry, it's okay now."

A warm feeling surged in Xiao Yue's heart. She reached out and held Shen Ting's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly, everything was said without words.

Shen Ting took her into his arms and held her tightly, fearing that she would disappear if he let go.

"Don't try to fight like this anymore." There was a hint of sob in his low voice.

Xiao Yue buried her head in his chest and nodded gently.

In the following days, the cultural integration strategy proposed by Xiao Yue played a huge role in international projects.

More and more international companies are attracted by this strategy and are actively seeking cooperation.

The international reputation of Xiao and Shen’s companies has increased significantly, making them the focus of the industry.

However, just when everything seemed to be going well, new challenges emerged.

Tom, the international business consultant hired by David, did not give up.

He secretly gave David advice and planned to set up technical obstacles at key points of the project in order to hinder the progress of the project.

"I heard that Xiao's and Shen's projects are progressing very smoothly recently?" Tom's gloomy voice sounded in David's office.

"Humph, it's just a flash in the pan." David said with gritted teeth, "I won't let them succeed so easily."

Tom let out a sly smile. "Don't worry, the real fun is yet to come." He pulled a document from his briefcase and handed it to David. "This is my latest plan. It's guaranteed to completely paralyze their project."

David took the document and looked through it carefully. The gloom on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a sinister smile.

"Just do as you say!"

Meanwhile, Xiao Yue and Shen Ting are preparing for the next phase of the project.

They didn't know that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching...

"Shen Ting, I always feel a little uneasy." Xiao Yue looked at the dense data on the computer screen with a frown.

Shen Ting walked over to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders, "What's wrong?"

"I have a feeling..." Xiao Yue raised her head, her eyes filled with worry, "It seems like something is going to happen..." Her voice stopped abruptly. The office phone suddenly rang, and the shrill ringtone broke the brief silence...
