Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue's heart sank slightly. Lawyer Zhao's strange smile was like a shadow hanging over her heart, but she was not at all panicked.

She knew that the more times like this, the calmer she had to be.

She ended today's trial calmly and returned to Xiao's conference room.

The atmosphere here is heavy, and the air seems to have frozen into ice.

Researcher Chen frowned, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, while Secretary Zhang kept flipping through the documents in his hands, making a rustling sound as the paper rubbed against each other.

"Researcher Chen, please review the technical comparison report carefully." Xiao Yue's voice was calm and clear, like a winter plum blossom, carrying a chilling determination. "Secretary Zhang, compile all previous records of the other company's business activities. We need to find their loopholes."

Her eyes swept over everyone, firm and sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, giving people a sense of fearless power.

She believed that as long as they united as one, they would be able to find a breakthrough.

Meanwhile, outside the court, a secret deal was brewing.

In Judge Zhou's office, Lawyer Zhao handed over a thick envelope with a smile on his face. Greed was almost overflowing in his eyes as he said flatteringly, "Judge Zhou, you know our company has put a lot of effort into this case. This is just a small gift. I hope you will accept it."

Judge Zhou stared coldly at the envelope in front of him.

He righteously rejected Lawyer Zhao's bribe and secretly informed Xiao Yue of the matter.

The next day, when everyone thought it would be another long trial, Xiao Yue suddenly stood up, with flames burning in her clear eyes.

"Your Honor," she said in a clear, resounding voice, like a bomb exploding in the courtroom, "Before the trial, we received news that the opposing lawyer was attempting to influence the verdict through improper means!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The smile on Lawyer Zhao's face froze, and the smug look on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by endless panic.

His face was as pale as paper and his body began to tremble slightly.

There was a sudden buzz of discussion in the gallery, and people's eyes were piercing Lawyer Zhao like sharp blades. They also felt sincere admiration for Xiao Yue's bravery and integrity.

Faced with this sudden change, beads of sweat rolled down Lawyer Zhao's forehead. He hurriedly wanted to defend himself, but found that he had nothing to say.

Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, Lawyer Zhao suddenly picked up his phone, his fingers swiping across the screen rapidly. A strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He raised his head, looked at Xiao Yue, and said word by word: "Mr. Xiao, you are too naive..."

Lawyer Zhao smiled sinisterly and turned the screen of his mobile phone towards everyone. On it was a document titled "Xiao Enterprise Commercial Secrets".

"Mr. Xiao, do you think you are the only one who can collect evidence? This document is enough to make Xiao Enterprise completely bankrupt!" He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and his tone was full of the pleasure of revenge.

The courtroom suddenly fell silent, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Yue, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.

Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

But she quickly calmed herself down, took a deep breath, and stared at Lawyer Zhao with a sharp gaze. "This document is forged!" She said in a firm and resounding tone.

"Forgery?" Lawyer Zhao seemed to have heard a huge joke. He laughed arrogantly, "Mr. Xiao, do you think you can overturn the verdict with empty words? This document has..." He deliberately prolonged the last syllable, his eyes full of provocation.

"It has the signature and seal of Expert Liu from the Copyright Bureau, right?" Xiao Yue interrupted him, a confident smile on her lips.

She calmly took out a document from the folder and held it above her head, "This is the real expert appraisal report!" She handed the document to the judge. It clearly showed the signature of expert Liu and the official seal of the Copyright Bureau, which was completely different from the document in Lawyer Zhao's hand.

Lawyer Zhao's face turned pale in an instant. He widened his eyes in disbelief, his lips trembling, but he couldn't make any sound.

Judge Zhou carefully checked the two documents and finally announced: "The evidence provided by Lawyer Zhao was forged, and the plaintiff Xiao Enterprise in this case won the case!" Thunderous applause broke out in the courtroom, and a bright smile appeared on Xiao Yue's face. She won!

The employees of Xiao Enterprise cheered, tears of excitement flashing in their eyes.

Suddenly, a tall figure broke through the crowd and hugged Xiao Yue tightly.

It’s Shen Ting.

He kissed Xiao Yue's forehead affectionately, his voice low and full of love: "Yuer, you are the most amazing person in my heart." Xiao Yue was so moved that tears filled her eyes. She hugged Shen Ting tightly back, and the two embraced each other affectionately. People around them sent their blessings, and applause and cheers intertwined, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.

"Shen Ting..." Xiao Yue snuggled in Shen Ting's arms and said softly, "We won, but..." Her words stopped abruptly, her eyes looked out the window, a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

The news of the victory spread to every corner of Xiao's enterprise like a spring breeze. The haze that had originally shrouded the company was swept away, and was replaced by abundant vitality.

Invitations for cooperation came in like snowflakes, the phone calls at Xiao's company rang one after another, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.

The numbers on the financial statements continued to rise, and the bright red curve soared into the sky like a rocket, indicating the Xiao Group's booming development momentum.

Xiao Yue's name frequently appears in major business media. She is hailed as a rising star in the business world. Her leadership and decisive decision-making have won unanimous praise from industry insiders. Her employees admire her very much and regard her as a role model to learn from.

In the office, the sounds of keyboard tapping, phone ringing, and discussions interweave into a vibrant march. Everyone is full of energy and confidence in the future of Xiao Enterprises.

To celebrate this hard-earned victory, Xiao Yue and Shen Ting held a grand celebratory dinner at the most luxurious hotel in the city.

The atmosphere was very lively with elegantly dressed people, clinking glasses and business celebrities gathered together.

The crystal chandelier emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the entire banquet hall like daylight.

The melodious music flows slowly, the fragrance of champagne fills the air, and the exquisite dishes are mouth-watering.

Xiao Yue was dressed in an elegant evening gown, like the brightest star in the night sky, while Shen Ting was dressed in a well-tailored suit, his every move revealing the charm of a mature man.

Standing together, they looked like the prince and princess in a fairy tale, the envy of everyone.

The flash kept flashing, recording this beautiful moment.

Business partners came forward to congratulate them and marvel at their love story, and the entire business community cheered for their happiness and success.

However, amidst the laughter and joy, a shadow of uneasiness quietly loomed.

As the dinner was coming to an end, Secretary Zhang hurried over to Xiao Yue, handed her a document, and whispered, "Mr. Xiao, this is an urgent document for an international cooperation project that we just received. Please take a look." Xiao Yue took the document and frowned slightly.

The contents of the document made her heart tighten, and her original joy was instantly diluted.

She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, but the slight trembling of her fingertips revealed the turmoil in her heart.

The cheerful music and lively conversation in the banquet hall seemed to have drifted away from her, and the only thing left in her world was the cold words on the document.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ting noticed that Xiao Yue was acting strangely and asked with concern.

Xiao Yue handed the document to Shen Ting, and said in a serious tone: "Look..."
