Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue paused rubbing his temples, took a deep breath, and called President Sun to make an appointment for a meeting.

On the other end of the phone, President Sun's tone was so polite that she was surprised. He even took the initiative to suggest a meeting time, which was completely different from his previous evasive and perfunctory attitude.

A trace of doubt flashed through Xiao Yue's mind, but she quickly suppressed it, thinking that the other party had changed his mind.

After arriving at the bank, Xiao Yue was even more surprised by President Sun's enthusiasm.

Not only did he go out to greet them in person, he also changed his usual cautious attitude and readily expressed his willingness to reconsider Xiao's loan application and took the initiative to relax the approval conditions.

Xiao Yue suppressed her doubts and carefully confirmed the terms of the contract. After confirming that everything was correct, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and signed her name.

As he walked out of the bank, the warm sunshine shone on his body, but Xiao Yue felt a little cold.

Things went so smoothly that it seemed unreal, like a carefully woven web that enveloped her.

She vaguely felt that there seemed to be an invisible hand behind all this, pushing it all forward.

After returning to the company, Assistant Wu walked up to her hurriedly and whispered, "Manager Xiao, the president of Shen Group...Shen Ting...Mr. Shen...wants to see you." Xiao Yue's joy at signing the contract was quickly replaced by new doubts.

Shen Ting's sudden appearance and President Sun's abnormal attitude were like scattered pieces of a puzzle that could not form a complete picture, but made her feel uneasy.

She received Shen Ting politely and quietly tried to find out the purpose of his visit.

Shen Ting did not mention the loan at all. Instead, he expressed great interest in Xiao's new product development. His words revealed his appreciation and concern for Xiao Yue.

At the same time, Chen the headhunter did not give up because of his previous failures.

Unable to poach talent and spreading rumors was of no avail, he became enraged and joined forces with his competitors to target Xiao's supply of raw materials.

They planned to control the raw material market, cut off Xiao's production line, and completely defeat Xiao.

Xiao Yue was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the surrounding atmosphere.

Several long-term raw material suppliers suddenly postponed delivery for various reasons, and some rumors began to circulate in the industry, suggesting that Xiao's company was about to face a crisis of raw material supply interruption.

She felt powerless, as if she was trapped in a huge whirlpool, struggling but unable to escape.

Shen Ting noticed the fatigue and loneliness between Xiao Yue's brows.

He didn't ask anything, but quietly took her away from the bustling city and came to a quiet seaside.

The sea breeze blew gently, the waves crashed against the shore, and the rhythmic sound of the waves seemed to soothe Xiao Yue's uneasy heart.

Shen Ting held Xiao Yue's hand. His palm was warm and strong, conveying silent comfort and support.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." His deep voice sounded particularly firm in the sea breeze.

Xiao Yue leaned on Shen Ting's shoulder, looking at the surging sea, and the haze in her heart gradually dissipated.

She took a deep breath and rekindled her fighting spirit.

When I returned to the company, night had already fallen.

In the office, Assistant Wu was still busy.

She looked up and saw Xiao Yue. She hesitated for a second before finally saying, "Manager Xiao, I...I think I've discovered something..." Assistant Wu hesitantly pulled out a few documents and pointed to several red-marked areas. "Manager Xiao, look, the reasons these suppliers are delaying deliveries are almost identical. Furthermore, they recently signed long-term cooperation agreements with the same logistics company. This logistics company...is..." She paused, her voice lowering, "It's...a subsidiary of a competitor."

Xiao Yue took the document and examined it carefully. Assistant Wu's discovery shocked her.

She immediately realized that this was not a simple coincidence, but a carefully planned conspiracy.

She investigated overnight and retrieved the transaction records and logistics information of these suppliers, and indeed discovered more tricks.

They ostensibly delayed the delivery for various reasons, but in fact they secretly transferred the raw materials to their competitors.

The evidence was conclusive, and Xiao Yue did not hesitate at all. He immediately contacted other reliable raw material suppliers and signed emergency supply contracts with favorable terms.

At the same time, she exposed her rival's conspiracy to the public, accompanied by solid evidence.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the industry, the reputation of competitors plummeted, and their stock prices also fell.

The crisis seemed to be resolved, but Xiao Yue felt even more uneasy.

She knew that her opponents would not give up and that this was just the tip of the iceberg of their conspiracy.

She is more cautious in advancing new product research and development, treading on thin ice with every step.

Late at night, the lights in the laboratory are still bright.

Xiao Yue stood beside Professor Li, looking at the experimental data with a frown.

"Professor Li, look at this data..." She pointed to an abnormal fluctuation on the screen, her tone serious, "It seems... something is wrong..." Professor Li pushed his glasses, moved closer to the screen, and his eyes became serious.

"This..." He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "This...maybe..."
