Double evil in the business district

As soon as Xiao Yue got off the plane, he was urgently recalled by the company headquarters.

The moment she stepped into the Xiao Building, the tense atmosphere in the air made her heart sink.

The employees who were bustling around in the past were now in a hurry with serious expressions, and the sound of whispers spread like spider silk in every corner.

The cooperation between departments is like rusty gears, making a harsh friction sound. The corporate machine that originally operated efficiently now seems clumsy and slow.

Xiao Yue keenly realized that this was not just a simple internal conflict. A storm of power struggle had quietly arrived and was sweeping across the entire Xiao Group at an alarming speed.

She rubbed her eyebrows and sighed in her heart: It seems that this tough battle will come faster than expected.

"Xiaoyue, you're back.

"A greasy voice sounded behind Xiao Yue.

She turned around and saw her cousin Xiao in a suit and tie walking towards her with a hypocritical smile.

"There's been some unrest in the company lately, and my uncle is worried about you, so he asked me to take good care of you.

" He deliberately emphasized the word "take care of", and a shrewd gleam flashed in his eyes.

"I appreciate your kindness, cousin.

" Xiao Yue calmly avoided the hand that Cousin Xiao tried to put on her shoulder, and said in a calm and firm tone, "I just want to concentrate on doing a good job in the overseas market and create greater value for the company.

As for other things,

The smile on Cousin Xiao's face froze. He obviously didn't expect Xiao Yue to refuse so directly.

He coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, and changed the words: "Xiao Yue, it's not easy for you to work hard outside alone. Uncle is doing this for your own good. He wants you to have someone to rely on within the company.

In the current situation, it is very important to take sides.

"

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, but her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination: "Cousin, the future of Xiao's depends on the joint efforts of all employees, not the so-called standing in line.

I believe that as long as we work together, we can overcome the difficulties we face.

" She paused, her tone a little heavier, "As for reliance, I rely on my own abilities and loyalty to the Xiao family.

"

Cousin Xiao was disappointed and looked a little unhappy.

He wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xiao Yue: "Cousin, if there is nothing else, I will go to deal with work first. There are still many things waiting for me to arrange in the overseas market.

"After saying that, she walked towards her office without looking back, leaving Cousin Xiao standing there with a gloomy expression.

As soon as he returned to the office, the phone on the desk rang. Xiao Yue picked up the phone and heard Uncle Xiao's low voice: "Yueyue, come to my house for dinner tonight. I have something to talk to you about..."

Xiao Yue hung up the phone, took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and walked straight to the meeting room.

At the board meeting, Uncle Xiao indeed proposed to cut the overseas market budget. He righteously gave high-sounding reasons such as "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure" and "concentrating resources", but in fact he had other intentions.

Xiao Yue was well prepared. She took out a detailed market research report and financial statements, and clearly explained the huge potential of the overseas market and the impressive achievements made so far. She also pointed out that budget cuts would have an adverse impact on the company's long-term development.

Her tone was firm, and every word she spoke was powerful and resounding, forming a sharp contrast with Uncle Xiao's vague words.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense, with both sides exchanging sharp words and a strong smell of gunpowder.

Uncle Xiao wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Xiao Yue, but he didn't expect her to be so tough, which put him in a passive position.

At this moment, Secretary Lin suddenly stood up and casually mentioned the rumors that Xiao Yue was "dictatorial" and "making decisions on his own" in the overseas market.

Xiao Yue sneered. She had expected such a trick.

She publicly pulled out all the financial statements and decision-making processes. The purpose of every sum of money and the basis for every decision were clear and transparent, with nothing concealed.

Secretary Lin's face turned pale in an instant. Her carefully woven lies were ruthlessly exposed, making her look like a funny clown.

After the meeting, Xiao Yue returned to the office and rubbed his temples tiredly.

The phone on the table vibrated. It was a text message from Shen Ting: "After get off work, I'll wait for you at the old place." Xiao Yue's mouth corners rose slightly and she replied with an "OK".

She knew that with that man, she could take off all her disguises and be her true self.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Manager Chen stood at the door with a panicked look on his face, hesitant to speak...

Manager Chen stammered, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Mr. Xiao...Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao...he wants you to go to his office tomorrow." He didn't dare look directly into Xiao Yue's eyes, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Xiao Yue looked at his nervous expression and understood.

She nodded lightly: "I understand, you can go down."

After get off work, the hustle and bustle of the neon-lit city is isolated outside a heavy wooden door.

Shen Ting’s private club is quiet and luxurious.

Xiao Yue nestled in Shen Ting's arms, feeling the familiar sandalwood scent on him, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

"Today... I'm a little tired." She said softly, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue in her tone.

Shen Ting stroked her hair gently, and his low voice sounded in her ears: "I know, I've heard about what happened at the Xiao family." He didn't ask any more questions, but just hugged her quietly, giving her silent support and strength.

Xiao Yue raised her head and looked into his deep eyes, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

"Thank goodness I have you." She rubbed against his arms like a kitten seeking shelter.

Shen Ting chuckled and kissed her forehead: "Everything will be fine." The two sat hugging each other, talking in low voices about their plans for the future and their promises to each other.

Outside the window, the night is getting darker.

Manager Chen tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Uncle Xiao's coercion and inducement, and Cousin Xiao's hypocrisy made him feel unprecedented pressure.

He thought of Xiao Yue's performance in the meeting today and her encouragement to him, and his heart couldn't help but waver.

The next morning, after much hesitation, he finally knocked on Xiao Yue's office door.

"Mr. Xiao, I... I have some ideas about overseas market projects and I would like to report them to you." He took out the materials he had compiled, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Xiao Yue took the information, read it carefully, and showed an appreciative smile on her face: "Manager Chen, you have a deep understanding of the project, and these suggestions are very valuable." She paused and said sincerely, "I believe that as long as we keep our feet on the ground and take one step at a time, Xiao's future will be even brighter." When Manager Chen heard this, the last trace of hesitation in his heart disappeared.

Xiao Yue temporarily stabilized Manager Chen and cleverly resolved Uncle Xiao's attack at the board meeting. However, this was just the calm before the storm.

Uncle Xiao and his allies have not given up. They are secretly plotting a bigger conspiracy, and an invisible net is quietly tightening.

Xiao Yue returned to the office and prepared to check the next work schedule, but found...

The file is gone.

"Where are my documents?"
