Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue's slender fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, and the webpage flashed with the interfaces of local forums and social media.

Negative comments flooded in like a tide, with shocking headlines: "Is the quality of Xiao's products worrying?

》《Xiao’s after-sales service is non-existent!

》《Unveiling the dark side behind Xiao’s enterprise!

》……

The number of emails expressing enthusiastic cooperation intentions has gradually decreased, and has been replaced by cautious inquiries and even direct rejections.

An invisible pressure tightly gripped Xiao Yue's throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"This can't go on!" Xiao Yue slammed his notebook shut, took a deep breath, and his eyes burned with fire.

She is no novice when it comes to crisis public relations.

The domestic market is highly competitive, and she has encountered similar malicious slander before and successfully resolved it.

She quickly opened a new document and, with her extensive experience, began to write a detailed statement to refute the rumors.

In the statement, she not only refuted the rumors point by point, but also listed the honors and certifications that Xiao's enterprise has won over the years, and attached product quality inspection reports and customer satisfaction survey results.

At the same time, she contacted Mr. Zhou, a local overseas Chinese businessman introduced by Shen Ting, hoping to find an influential media outlet through him to publish this statement.

Mr. Zhou was a very enthusiastic person. He immediately expressed his willingness to help and recommended a local authoritative business newspaper.

After the statement was released, public opinion began to change subtly.

Some rational netizens began to question the authenticity of the rumors, while others began to defend Xiao Enterprises.

However, this is just the beginning.

Xiao Yue knew that David would not give up and that greater challenges were still to come.

She rubbed her sore eyes, picked up her phone and dialed a number, "Mr. Zhou, I need you to help me contact someone..." Her voice was calm and firm, like the calm before the storm.

Xiao Yue contacted Tom, the official in charge of business affairs in the local government.

She needs official support to completely turn the situation around.

Officer Tom took a serious attitude and said that he would carefully review the materials provided by Xiao and give a reply as soon as possible.

At the same time, David was furious when he saw Xiao Yue's counterattack was so quick and effective.

He had a gloomy face and gave a few instructions to his men around him, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yue led the team to conduct market research as planned.

However, every time they arrived at a key location, they encountered various obstacles.

It's either "Road construction, no entry" or "Private territory, no entry."

Xiao Yue immediately realized that this was human interference, and the target was directly towards her.

Sure enough, in an important commercial district, she met David's men head-on.

Several burly men blocked the way, speaking provocatively and with an arrogant attitude.

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Yue looked at the other party fearlessly with a cold tone.

"We are just kindly reminding you that some places are not suitable for you to go." The leading strong man spoke with contempt and a hint of threat.

"This is a public area and we have the right to conduct normal business activities." Xiao Yue refused to give in.

"Really? I advise you to be sensible and not ask for trouble." The burly man pressed on.

Just then, several cars came roaring and stopped beside Xiao Yue.

Zhou Huaqiao came down with a group of people. They were all well-known overseas Chinese businessmen in the local area, and each of them had a strong aura.

"What's going on?" Zhou Huaqiao asked in a deep voice.

Seeing Zhou Huaqiao and others, David's men were obviously a little panicked.

They knew that these overseas Chinese had considerable influence in the local area and did not dare to offend them easily.

After Zhou Huaqiao understood the situation, his face darkened. He walked up to the strong men and sternly warned them in fluent local language.

These few words were so powerful that they left no room for doubt.

Seeing that the situation was not good, David's men left in disgrace.

"Miss Xiao, are you okay?" Zhou Huaqiao asked with concern.

Xiao Yue shook her head gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. If you hadn't arrived in time..."

"You're welcome. I just saw injustice and decided to help." Zhou Huaqiao smiled heartily, then lowered his voice and said, "David is not easy to deal with. You have to be careful." He paused and said meaningfully, "But you don't have to worry too much..." He patted Xiao Yue's shoulder and turned to leave.

Xiao Yue looked at Zhou Huaqiao's back, feeling a little doubtful.

"Don't worry too much..." What does this sentence mean?

Xiao Yue returned to the hotel and immediately contacted Shen Ting, reporting in detail what had happened today.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Ting's voice was steady and powerful: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." This short sentence instantly calmed Xiao Yue's heart.

She looked at the flashing neon lights outside the window, and Shen Ting's figure seemed to be standing beside her, giving her silent support.

In the next few days, Xiao Yue continued to lead the team to conduct market research.

Although David's harassment continued, Xiao Yue was always able to escape danger with the help of Zhou Huaqiao and other overseas Chinese businessmen.

Whenever she encountered difficulties and looked at the encouraging text messages sent by Shen Ting on her mobile phone, she could feel a powerful force pushing her to move forward.

Although the two were thousands of miles apart, they seemed to be in tune with each other, and their trust and dependence on each other deepened unknowingly.

Xiao Yue adjusted the initial marketing strategy based on the survey results.

She focused on highlighting the unique advantages and cultural connotations of Xiao's products, and developed a differentiated marketing plan based on local market characteristics.

When she submitted the plan to Shen Ting, a hint of appreciation flashed in Shen Ting's eyes: "Yes, this plan is very creative and fully considers the particularities of the local market." Xiao Yue was filled with joy when she received Shen Ting's affirmation.

She knew that this was not only a recognition of her work, but also an affirmation of her personally.

The two smiled at each other, and a subtle sense of ambiguity filled the air.

Just when Xiao Yue thought the situation had improved and was preparing to further advance his market expansion plan, the local government suddenly introduced a new policy.

This policy stipulates that all foreign companies conducting business locally must cooperate with local companies, and local companies must hold controlling stakes.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, catching Xiao Yue off guard.

She immediately realized that this policy was extremely detrimental to Xiao's company's overseas expansion.

David showed a smug smile on his face. He raised his glass and said to his men, "The good show has just begun..." Xiao Yue tightly grasped the documents in his hand, his face solemn.

She picked up her phone and dialed Shen Ting's number, "Shen Ting, something happened..."
