Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue pointed at a string of numbers on the budget sheet, his brows furrowed and his face serious.

"Analyst Wu, come here. Is... the transportation cost miscalculated?" A chill rose from the bottom of her heart. The budget exceeded the expected 20%. If this problem could not be solved, the entire investment plan would fail.

Analyst Wu hurried over and carefully checked the data, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Manager Xiao, let me calculate it carefully again." He pushed his glasses nervously, his fingers tapping on the keyboard quickly, and the dense numbers on the screen were dazzling.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with only the clacking of keyboards and the two people's slightly rapid breathing.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xiao Yue felt that every second was as long as a century.

She paced back and forth anxiously, trying to calm herself down.

Shen Ting's words echoed in her ears: "Everything will be fine." But she couldn't feel at ease at this moment.

If this loophole cannot be filled, all her previous efforts will be in vain.

"Manager Xiao!" Analyst Wu suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with excitement, "I found it! We can take advantage of the local government's support policies and transfer part of the transportation costs to government subsidies, so that we can perfectly fill this loophole!" He pointed to the calculation results on the computer screen, with a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

Xiao Yue hurried to the computer and carefully checked Analyst Wu's calculation process and results.

Her tense nerves finally relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Great! Analyst Wu, you've been a real help!"

She immediately put together the revised budget plan and prepared to face President Sun again.

"President Sun..." Xiao Yue took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the conference room.

Xiao Yue walked into the meeting room and saw President Sun sitting upright with a hint of doubt on his face.

"Manager Xiao, did you bring the revised plan? I hope you won't let me down again this time." There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Xiao Yue handed the revised plan to President Sun with a calm expression.

"President Sun, we have found the best solution to the problem you raised last time." She turned on the projector, projected the revised budget table onto the big screen, and explained in detail the optimization plan for transportation costs, the strategy for dealing with market risks, and the rationality of the expected returns.

She has clear logic, fluent language, and can easily come up with every piece of data, as if everything is under her control.

President Sun was critical at first and asked some sharp questions from time to time, but Xiao Yue always gave convincing answers.

As Xiao Yue explained, the doubt on President Sun's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of surprise and appreciation.

He had to admit that this young girl had extraordinary business acumen and perseverance.

Finally, President Sun closed the document and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Manager Xiao, your proposal is excellent. I completely agree with it." He extended his hand and shook Xiao Yue's tightly. "I wish us a happy cooperation!"

With the approval of President Sun, Xiao Yue returned to Xiao Enterprise with full confidence.

At an internal company meeting, she once again elaborated on the entire investment plan in detail.

From market analysis to risk assessment, from financial budget to operational planning, she gave a detailed explanation.

She spoke eloquently and confidently, like a beam of dazzling light that illuminated the entire conference room.

At first, some conservative members, especially Uncle Xiao, were still skeptical about this bold investment plan.

They raised a series of questions, some of which were even somewhat challenging.

But Xiao Yue was not intimidated by these doubts. She responded to every question calmly, speaking with data and facts, and ultimately won the support of the majority.

Even Uncle Xiao, who had been against it, couldn't help but give Xiao Yue a thumbs up.

"Xiaoyue, you have really grown up. This plan has been done very well!" His tone was full of relief and pride.

After the meeting, Xiao Yue's phone vibrated, and a text message from Shen Ting came into view: "There is a celebration party tonight..."

Bright lights, melodious music, exquisite champagne tower, everything was carefully arranged to celebrate Xiao Yue's success.

The celebration banquet held by Shen Ting for her brought together many business celebrities, and praises were heard everywhere as they drank and chatted.

Xiao Yue was dressed in an elegant evening gown, with bright eyes and white teeth, and she looked radiant, like a shining star.

She responded to the guests' congratulations gracefully, her every move exuding confidence and composure.

The party reached its climax. Shen Ting raised his glass and fixed his deep gaze on Xiao Yue.

"Tonight, I want to announce something important to everyone." His voice was low and magnetic, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

He walked up to Xiao Yue and knelt on one knee, a dazzling diamond ring shining in his hand.

"Xiao Yue, you are the brightest light in my life. You have conquered me with your wisdom and courage. Will you marry me?" His affectionate confession was sincere and touching, and all the guests present were moved.

Xiao Yue's eyes were moist, with crystal tears welling up in them.

"I do." She choked out these three words, tears of happiness welling up in her eyes.

Shen Ting stood up and gently held her in his arms. The two embraced each other affectionately and kissed sweetly amid everyone's blessings.

The next day, at the Xiao Corporation's senior management meeting, Xiao Yue's investment plan was highly praised.

The chairman personally awarded her a generous bonus and promotion order, which was the best affirmation of her efforts and also indicated that she would have a broader space for development in Xiao's Enterprise.

However, investing in emerging markets is not always smooth sailing.

Before the noise of the celebration banquet had died down, Xiao Yue immediately threw himself into his new work.

An urgent email from a local partner broke the brief calm.

The content of the email was brief but disturbing: the local government suddenly announced that some policies would be revised...

Xiao Yue stood up suddenly, and the coffee cup in her hand slipped, and the dark brown liquid spread on the carpet, just like her mood at the moment, complicated and heavy.

She picked up the phone, "Translator Zhou, please arrange a meeting with the local government for me immediately..."
