Double evil in the business district

Assistant Wu's exclamation broke the solemn atmosphere in the office.

The piece of paper that fell from her hand was like a fallen leaf, but it foreshadowed the bleakness of the autumn wind.

Xiao Yue bent down to pick it up. There was only a short line of words on it: "Technician Zhou was poached, and core technology was leaked."

In an instant, Xiao Yue felt that all the blood in his body had frozen.

Technician Zhou is Xiao’s core technical staff and masters the key technologies for new product research and development.

If he is really poached, it will be a devastating blow to the Xiao family.

"Who is it?" Xiao Yue's voice was low, as if it was squeezed out from deep in his chest.

Assistant Wu trembled his lips and said a name: "Headhunter Chen." Headhunter Chen was sent by a rival company and had been secretly poaching Xiao's people.

Xiao Yue's face became increasingly gloomy. She clutched the note tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She knew that this was a malicious attack by a competitor, whose purpose was to completely destroy the Xiao family.

Shen Ting walked to Xiao Yue, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and gave her silent comfort.

He knew that Xiao Yue was under tremendous pressure.

"Yueyue, don't worry, I'm here." Shen Ting's voice was low and powerful, like a reassurance, calming Xiao Yue's anxious heart a little.

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She knew that now was not the time to panic and she had to find a solution as soon as possible.

She began contacting repair resources, hoping to find an expert who could fix the device.

However, due to time constraints, many experts rejected her request.

Xiao Yue's pressure was increasing, and she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.

Just when she was almost in despair, she suddenly remembered a small repair shop she had worked with before.

The repair shop was not large, but the technicians were very professional and had helped her solve some technical problems.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Xiao Yue contacted the repair shop.

To her surprise, the owner of the repair shop agreed to her request and said that he would send someone to repair the equipment immediately.

"That's great!" Xiao Yue clenched his fists excitedly, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

At the same time, headhunter Chen was sitting in his office with a smug look on his face, holding the confidentiality agreement signed by technician Zhou.

He looked at the signature on the agreement and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Yue, let's see how you can turn things around this time!" Headhunter Chen picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hello, the plan is going smoothly. I've poached Technician Zhou..." Before he could finish his words, the office door suddenly opened and a tall figure walked in...

Shen Ting.

The old craftsman in the repair shop wore reading glasses and studied the complicated circuit diagram for a long time, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

He wiped it from time to time with his oil-stained hands, leaving a few black marks.

In the tense atmosphere, time passed by every second.

Finally, the master craftsman put down the tools in his hands and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's done!" With the roar of the machines, the production line started running again, and Xiao Yue's heart finally settled down.

She leaned weakly on Shen Ting, a tired smile on her face.

Before Xiao Yue could recover from her shock, Assistant Wu rushed in, his face pale: "Mr. Xiao, this is bad! There are a lot of negative news about our new products on the Internet, saying that there are quality problems with our products, and that..." She choked and couldn't continue.

Xiao Yue immediately opened her phone, and the overwhelming negative comments made her heart tighten.

Not only did the competitor poach core technicians, it also maliciously discredited Xiao's new products, which clearly meant to force Xiao into a desperate situation.

Shen Ting's face was solemn, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He put his arm around Xiao Yue's shoulders and said in a firm tone, "Don't be afraid, we'll solve it together." Xiao Yue took a deep breath, and the panic in his eyes was gradually replaced by determination.

She quickly called a team meeting, calmly analyzed the situation, and began collecting evidence.

Shen Ting also used his personal connections to contact the media and public relations companies, preparing to launch a counterattack.

The lights in the office were on all night. Xiao Yue and Shen Ting fought side by side, like two towering mountains, standing tall and unyielding.

They knew that the battle had just begun and that their opponents' schemes and plots were far more complex than this.

Xiao Yue stared at the blinking cursor on the computer screen, fingers rapidly tapping away on the keyboard. An email was about to be sent...

She turned to look at Shen Ting with a firm look in her eyes: "It's time to fight back." Shen Ting smiled slightly, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello, Professor Li? I have something I need your help with..."

Xiao Yue's email was like an arrow shot from a bow, pointing directly to the core of the incident.

In the email, she not only explained the cause of the equipment failure in detail and disclosed the records of the repair process, but more importantly, she attached evidence of malicious smear campaigns by competitors, exposing Chen's conspiracy to the public.

At the same time, Professor Li, a highly respected expert in the industry, contacted by Shen Ting, also publicly stated the technological advancement and safety of Xiao's new products, completely shattering the rumors of competitors.

Online public opinion turned around instantly, and consumers' trust in Xiao's new products not only did not decrease, but increased due to Xiao Yue's honesty and Professor Li's endorsement.

Xiao's order volume increased instead of decreasing, and its stock price also began to rise.

Headhunter Chen's confident smile froze on his face. He never expected that Xiao Yue could turn the situation around in such a short time.

Looking at Xiao Yue's capable way of handling things, Shen Ting's eyes were full of love.

He took Xiao Yue to a restaurant overlooking the entire city. The exquisite dishes and soft lighting made everything seem romantic and warm.

"Yueyue, you were really great today." Shen Ting raised his glass and looked at Xiao Yue affectionately.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yue's face: "All this is thanks to you, Ting."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

After dinner, Shen Ting drove Xiao Yue home.

Inside the car, soft music was playing and the atmosphere was warm and sweet.

"Yueyue..." Shen Ting suddenly spoke, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

Xiao Yue turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Shen Ting held Xiao Yue's hand, his eyes deep: "There is something I have always wanted to tell you..."

Before he could finish his words, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Shen Ting glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly.

"I'll take a call first." Shen Ting pressed the answer button, his tone instantly becoming serious, "What's up?"

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Shen, this is not good..."

Shen Ting hung up the phone, his face solemn, with a layer of gloom between his brows.

He turned to look at Xiao Yue, his tone heavy, "There's a problem at the bank. President Sun rejected our loan application."

Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, as if falling into an ice cellar.

Bank loans are key funds for Xiao’s new product launch. If the loan application is rejected, the new product launch plan will be forced to shelve and all previous efforts will be wasted.

The competitor's move of cutting off the source of funds is extremely cruel.

"Why?" Xiao Yue's voice trembled slightly as she tried hard to suppress her inner panic.

Shen Ting gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white. "President Sun said there are problems with our financial statements and the risks are too high."

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She knew that it must be a competitor behind the scenes who was deliberately creating obstacles.

"They won't succeed." Xiao Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his tone was firm.

She immediately contacted the company's financial director and carefully checked the financial statements to look for any possible loopholes.

At the same time, Shen Ting also began to use his own connections to try to contact other banks and seek new financing channels.

However, due to the secret operations of competitors, other banks also rejected Xiao's loan applications.

Xiao Yue and Shen Ting were in trouble again, surrounded by enemies on all sides.

The atmosphere in the office was suffocatingly heavy.

Xiao Yue rubbed his aching temples and leaned back in his chair tiredly.

Just then, Assistant Wu rushed in, holding a document in his hand. "Mr. Xiao, good news! We've received a letter of intent from an anonymous investor. The investment amount is sufficient to support the launch of our new product!"

Xiao Yue sat up straight with a flicker of surprise in his eyes. This was simply timely help!

However, when Xiao Yue carefully read the terms of the letter of intent, her expression gradually became solemn.

Although this letter of intent solved the funding problem, it required Xiao to sell a large amount of equity, which was undoubtedly inviting a wolf into the house and put Xiao at greater risk.

Xiao Yue was caught in a dilemma: on one hand, there was the hope of launching a new product, and on the other hand, there was the loss of control of the company.

She turned to look at Shen Ting, her eyes full of confusion.

Shen Ting gently held Xiao Yue's hand, giving her silent comfort.

He understood Xiao Yue's inner struggle at the moment

"Yueyue, no matter what decision you make, I support you." Shen Ting's voice was low and firm.

Xiao Yue took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

She picked up a pen and was about to sign the letter of intent when suddenly the office door opened and a familiar figure walked in...

"Wait a minute!" The man came in a hurried tone, interrupting Xiao Yue's actions.

Xiao Yue looked up and saw that it was... President Sun!

"President Sun, what are you doing..." Xiao Yue looked at him in confusion.

President Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead with an awkward smile on his face: "Mr. Xiao, I think we can talk about the loan again..."
