Double evil in the business district

Flames billowed in the archives room, thick smoke obscured the sky, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning. Shen Ting's face was ashen, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring straight at the sea of ​​fire before him. He grabbed Accountant Chen's arm with such force that it almost broke his bones. "Tell me! What's going on?"

Accountant Chen's eyes flickered and he stammered, unable to explain clearly.

"I...I...really don't know, Mr. Shen! I...I was just passing by..." He stuttered as he explained, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing out of his forehead, and he looked particularly panicked in the light of the fire.

Xiao Yue stood aside, her heart pounding. She knew the fire was aimed at her, set by Accountant Chen to destroy evidence. But she couldn't show any panic at this moment. She had to stay calm and find a solution. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Shen Ting," Xiao Yue said calmly, "There is a small fireproof compartment in the archives room. The information I hid is all in it. As long as the fire is put out as soon as possible, the information will not be burned." Her eyes were firm, and her tone was full of unquestionable certainty.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ting immediately turned around and ordered the security guard who had arrived: "Quick! Find a fire extinguisher! Also, call the police immediately!" After he made all the arrangements, he turned to look at Xiao Yue, his eyes filled with worry. "Are you sure the information is in the fireproof compartment?"

Xiao Yue nodded, "I'm sure."

At this moment, Accountant Chen suddenly pushed Shen Ting away and turned to run towards the archives room. "I'll get it!" He shouted as he ran, and his figure quickly disappeared in the thick smoke.

Xiao Yue's heart tightened, thinking to herself, "Oh no!" Accountant Chen wasn't going to get the information at all; he was going to completely destroy the evidence! She wanted to chase him, but Shen Ting grabbed her.

"I'll go," Shen Ting said firmly, "You stay here and be careful of Accountant Chen." After that, he rushed into the fire without hesitation.

Xiao Yue was extremely anxious, but she knew that rushing in now would only cause more trouble. She paced anxiously, silently praying that Shen Ting was safe.

Time ticked by, each second feeling like a century. Finally, a tall figure emerged from the thick smoke. Shen Ting emerged, carrying a fireproof box. His hair and clothes were blackened by smoke, and his face was covered in dust, but his eyes remained firm.

"I got it, it's empty." He handed the fireproof box to Xiao Yue with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

At this moment, Accountant Chen exclaimed from the archives room: "No... Impossible... How could this happen..."

Shen Ting and Xiao Yue looked at each other, and they quickly walked into the archive room, only to see Accountant Chen slumped on the ground, his face pale and his eyes full of fear.

The smoke cleared, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning. Accountant Chen slumped to the ground, his eyes empty, muttering to himself, "Impossible... Impossible..." He had originally planned to burn the evidence Xiao Yue had collected, but he hadn't expected the fireproof box to be empty!

Shen Ting glanced sharply at Accountant Chen and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Where's the information?"

Accountant Chen trembled all over and looked up at Shen Ting in horror, his eyes filled with despair. He knew that everything was over.

Xiao Yue stepped forward, took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, and said calmly, "The real information is here."

Everyone's eyes turned to the documents in Xiao Yue's hands. These documents were the key evidence that exposed Director Ma's conspiracy.

"You..." Accountant Chen pointed at Xiao Yue, his voice trembling, "You actually..."

Xiao Yue ignored Accountant Chen and turned to Shen Ting, handing him the document. "Mr. Shen, please take a look."

Shen Ting took the document and carefully read it. It detailed Director Ma's various illegal activities during the project, including how he falsified data, bribed personnel, and profited from the project. Each crime was proven beyond doubt.

After Shen Ting finished reading the document, his face darkened to a horrible grimace. He raised his head, looked at Director Ma with a cold gaze, and said word by word, "Director Ma, do you have anything else to say?"

Director Ma's face was pale and sweat was pouring down. He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but found himself unable to speak. All the evidence was before him, and any excuses he made seemed pale and powerless.

"I..." Director Ma stammered but couldn't say a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue stepped forward, pointed at the data on the document, and clearly exposed Director Ma's conspiracy one by one. Her tone was firm and resounding, and every word was like a sharp knife piercing Director Ma's heart.

"Director Ma, you exploited your position to falsify project data, inflate costs, and profit from it, causing the company to suffer huge losses. You bribed insiders and leaked trade secrets, seriously damaging the company's interests. You..."

Xiao Yue's voice echoed in the conference room, and every word was like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's hearts. Everyone present was shocked by Xiao Yue's revelation. They didn't expect that the usually gentle and polite Director Ma would do such a despicable thing behind his back.

Director Ma's face became increasingly ugly, his body trembling slightly, his eyes filled with fear and despair. He knew that everything was over, his conspiracy had been exposed, and he would face legal sanctions.

Xiao Yue continued, "You think you're doing it without anyone noticing, but the law is long and unyielding. Every one of your crimes has been recorded. Today, I will expose your crimes to the public!"

After Xiao Yue finished speaking, he raised the document in his hand high.

"These are the evidence of your crime!"

Director Ma slumped on the ground with a hollow look in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Wu Baoan was brought in. He lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone.

Shen Ting looked at Wu Baoan and asked in a deep voice, "Wu Baoan, do you have anything else to say?"

Wu Baoan was trembling all over, he knew that he could not escape the blame.

He raised his head, glanced at Director Ma, who was slumped on the ground, then took a deep breath and spoke slowly...

Wu Baoan's lips trembled, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Director Ma... Director Ma... He asked me to stop Miss Xiao from entering the archives room... He also... He also gave me some money..."

Wu Baoan's confession was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Director Ma was completely despairing. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes dull, and he muttered, "It's over... It's all over..."

Shen Ting watched all this with a cold eye, his admiration for Xiao Yue growing even stronger. This seemingly weak girl actually possessed such courage and wisdom, single-handedly exposing such a deeply hidden conspiracy.

Xiao Yue calmly took back the documents and breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxing. She turned to look at Shen Ting and smiled faintly, "Boss Shen, the truth has been revealed."

Shen Ting returned her admiring gaze, "Ms. Xiao, your courage and wisdom are admirable. Thanks to you, we were able to avoid greater losses for the company this time."

When the news reached Xiao's company, everyone was shocked. Colleagues who had initially been skeptical of Xiao Yue were now filled with admiration. Xiao Yue's name quickly spread within the company, and she became known as a "heroine." Xiao's senior management also highly praised her performance, promoting her to a higher position and making her a key training target.

A few days later, Shen Ting invited Xiao Yue to dinner.

"Ms. Xiao, thank you so much for this." Shen Ting raised his glass with a sincere look, "If it weren't for you, the consequences would be disastrous."

Xiao Yue raised his glass lightly and clinked it with Shen Ting. "Mr. Shen, you're too polite. I'm also trying to protect the interests of the company."

"It's not just the company," Shen Ting paused, his deep gaze falling on Xiao Yue's face, "I'm also grateful to you. Your courage and wisdom have deeply impressed me."

After dinner, Shen Ting personally sent Xiao Yue home.

"Thank you for sending me back, Mr. Shen." Xiao Yue said softly while standing at the door.

Shen Ting looked at her. The moonlight shone on her face, making her look even more gentle and charming. "Xiao Yue," he called her by her name for the first time. "You are really outstanding."

Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Shen Ting, only to see a light in his eyes that she had never seen before.

"Good night." Shen Ting said, turned and left.

Xiao Yue stood there, watching his back disappear into the night, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that this victory not only earned her respect and status, but also won Shen Ting's appreciation.

Back home, Xiao Yue couldn't sleep. The joy of successfully uncovering the conspiracy gradually faded, replaced by a hint of worry. She knew her success would inevitably arouse some people's jealousy, and the road ahead might be even more challenging.

The next morning, Xiao Yue arrived at the company and noticed her colleagues looked at her differently. There was admiration, but also... jealousy.

"Xiao Yue, congratulations, you are now a big celebrity in the company!" a colleague said sarcastically.

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, ignoring her sarcasm. She knew that this was just the beginning...

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and a figure walked in. He walked straight to Xiao Yue and handed her a document. "Manager Xiao, this is the information for the new project. The president has asked you to be in charge."

Xiao Yue took the document, opened the first page, and her eyes fell on the project name. Her eyes changed slightly... "Galaxy Project..." She whispered these four words.

"Galaxy Project..." Xiao Yue repeated softly, her fingertips gently stroking the document cover. An inexplicable pressure welled up in her heart. She had heard of this project; it was Xiao's most important strategic project this year, with a huge investment and extraordinary significance. Shen Ting's decision to assign it to her was both a testament to her abilities and a huge challenge.

Xiao Yue could hear the whispers in the office. She could feel the mixed gazes of envy, jealousy, and doubt. She took a deep breath, put the documents in her briefcase, and stood up and walked to her desk.

"Manager Xiao, this project is a tough one. Can you handle it?" A sarcastic voice sounded behind him.

Xiao Yue turned and looked at the heavily powdered face of the speaker, Marketing Manager Li Li. Li Li had always considered Xiao Yue a competitor, and now that she'd received a promotion and a raise, she was brimming with jealousy.

Xiao Yue smiled calmly, "Manager Li, thank you for your concern. I will do my best to complete this project."

Li Li snorted coldly and walked away, twisting her waist. Xiao Yue looked at her back, her eyes calm. She had long anticipated such a challenge and would not be affected by these rumors.

Over the next few days, Xiao Yue threw herself into Project Galaxy. She meticulously studied project materials, analyzed market conditions, and developed a marketing plan. She worked late into the night, always being the last person to turn off the lights in her office.

One night, Shen Ting came to Xiao Yue's office. He saw Xiao Yue working at her desk, her eyes full of fatigue, and a trace of heartache welled up in his heart.

"It's so late, and you're still working?" Shen Ting walked to her and asked softly.

Xiao Yue raised her head and saw Shen Ting, with a faint smile on her face, "Boss Shen, why are you here?"

"I came to see you." Shen Ting's eyes fell on the pile of documents in front of her. "Don't work too hard."

"I know." Xiao Yue rubbed his sore eyes. "This project is very important. I want to complete it as soon as possible."

Shen Ting looked at her serious expression, his heart filled with admiration. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, "I believe you."

Xiao Yue's heartbeat quickened slightly. She felt the warmth of Shen Ting's palm, and a warm current surged through her body.

"To celebrate you taking over the new project, let me treat you to a meal," Shen Ting suggested.

Xiao Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

The two went to a quiet restaurant and enjoyed a delicious dinner. During the meal, Shen Ting talked about the "Galaxy Project" and gave Xiao Yue some valuable advice and expressed his expectations for her.

"To promote this project, we need to hold a grand banquet," Shen Ting said. "I hope you can personally take charge of this banquet and showcase the strength and image of Xiao's enterprise to the outside world."

Xiao Yue nodded solemnly, "I will do my best."

After returning to the company, Xiao Yue immediately began preparing for the banquet. She contacted the venue, designed the invitations, and arranged the program, taking care of every detail herself.

She knew that this banquet was not only a promotion for the Galaxy Project, but also a test of her personal abilities. She had to give her all to live up to Shen Ting's expectations and silence those who envied her.

As time passed, the banquet date drew closer. In Xiao's corporate office, Xiao Yue took a deep breath as she looked at the banquet plan on the computer screen. "Everything is ready," she whispered.
