After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

"That must be it!"

Chen Yun didn't sleep all night, repeatedly thinking about how to handle the matter.

Ultimately, he decided to give the document to Lin Xue and let her handle the matter.

The next morning, Chen Yun handed the documents to Lin Xue.

After reading the document, Lin Xue's expression turned serious; she realized the gravity of the situation.

She immediately convened a meeting of the company's senior management and reported Director Li's misconduct to the board of directors.

After investigation, the board of directors decided to remove Director Li from his post and launch an investigation into him.

Director Li's conspiracy was exposed, and he left the company in disgrace.

Without Director Li's obstruction, Chen Yun and Lin Xue felt relieved, and their work became much easier and smoother.

The new project has also made groundbreaking progress.

"Chen Yun, do you think this adjustment plan would be better?" Lin Xue asked, pointing to the data on the screen.

Chen Yun rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment:

"I think it's a good idea. It would make the user experience smoother, but it might increase the server load, so we need to reassess it."

"Okay, I agree. Let's have another meeting with the server team tomorrow to discuss it further." Lin Xue nodded.

Sometimes, they would argue endlessly over the details of a plan.

"I think this feature must be added; users absolutely need it!" Chen Yun insisted.

"But the development cycle is too long, and we are very pressed for time!" Lin Xue said with some concern.

"No, this feature is very important, we must add it!"

Ultimately, the two found a compromise.

Sometimes, they would exchange a knowing smile because of the perfect match of their data.

"Perfect!" Lin Xue exclaimed excitedly, giving Chen Yun a high five.

One evening, after finishing overtime work, Chen Yun took Lin Xue home.

As Lin Xue passed a convenience store, she suddenly stopped.

"Chen Yun, I want to eat ice cream." Lin Xue pointed to the freezer in the convenience store.

Chen Yun paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go buy it for you."

Chen Yun bought two ice creams and handed one to Lin Xue.

The two walked side by side on the road, eating ice cream and chatting casually.

“Chen Yun,” Lin Xue suddenly spoke, “thank you.”

"Thank me for what?" Chen Yun asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Thank you for your help during this time, and thank you for your trust in me."

Lin Xue's gaze fell on Chen Yun's face.

Chen Yun's heart suddenly raced. He felt Lin Xue's gaze was like a warm light, illuminating the softest part of his heart. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Just then, Lin Xue suddenly tiptoed and gently kissed Chen Yun on the cheek.

"This is your reward." After saying this, Lin Xue blushed and ran away.

Chen Yun stood there, frozen, holding the melted ice cream in his hand, feeling his face begin to burn.

He watched Lin Xue's departing figure, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Just as Chen Yun was immersed in sweet joy, his phone suddenly rang.

It's an unknown number.

"Hello?" Chen Yun answered the phone.

"Chen Yun, do you think you've won?"

A somber voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Director Li.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Yun's face instantly darkened.

“I just want to remind you,” Director Li said threateningly, “that this game has only just begun.”

Director Li's chilling threat was like a thorn piercing Chen Yun's heart.

He hung up the phone, and the melting ice cream in his hand dripped down, its sweet taste now tasting unusually bitter.

Lin Xue's kiss still lingered on her face; what should have been a sweet memory was now shrouded in shadow.

He threw the ice cream into the trash can. Director Li is the kind of person who will do anything when cornered; he has to be prepared.

Upon returning home, Chen Yun immediately checked the doors and windows, and after confirming that they were all locked, he installed several simple alarm devices.

He even kept a wrench in his bedside table, just in case.

After doing all this, he called Lin Xue and told her about Director Li's threat.

"That madman!" Lin Xue said angrily on the other end of the phone. "What exactly does he want?"

"I don't know, but we can't let our guard down," Chen Yun said solemnly.

"You should also be careful during this time and try not to go out alone."

"I understand," Lin Xue said with some concern.

"Be careful too."

Over the next few days, Chen Yun was unusually cautious.

He takes a detour to and from get off work, keeping an eye out for any suspicious people around him.

He also became a light sleeper at night, easily awakened by the slightest sound.

Meanwhile, preparations for the launch of the new project are in full swing.

This was Chen Yun's life's work; he poured almost all his energy into it.

He couldn't imagine how he would feel if Director Li ruined the press conference.

On the day of the press conference, Chen Yun stood on the stage in a suit and tie, the spotlight shining on him, making him feel somewhat dazed.

The audience was filled with reporters and industry professionals, all of whom were focused on him, making him feel immense pressure.

He took a deep breath and began the product demonstration.

Good afternoon, distinguished guests!

"Today, I will be showcasing a revolutionary new product..."

As he explained, the screen displayed the various functions and data of the new product.

"This design is fantastic!" someone in the audience exclaimed.

"What are the application scenarios for this feature?" another person asked.

Chen Yun answered all the questions confidently and gradually relaxed.

He felt he was in control of the entire situation, and everything was going according to his plan.

Just as the demonstration reached its climax and the most amazing feature of the new product was about to be revealed, the venue suddenly went dark.

"what happened?"

"The power is out?"

"what the hell!"

The audience immediately erupted in chaos, with whispers and complaints filling the air.

The sudden darkness and commotion made Chen Yun's heart sink, but he forced himself to remain calm.

He shouted loudly to the audience, "Distinguished guests, please be quiet! Please maintain order!"

His slightly hoarse voice echoed in the darkness, trying to suppress the growing noise.

He then raised his voice: "We are working urgently and will restore power as soon as possible. Please do not panic!"

While reassuring the audience, he quickly scanned the staff below the stage.

He locked his gaze on Manager Wang, who was in charge of maintaining order at the scene, and gestured for him to immediately organize personnel to maintain order.

At the same time, he winked at the technical director and whispered an instruction:

"Old Zhang, quickly take some people to check the lines and restore power as soon as possible!"

The technical director understood immediately and called the technicians to rush to the backstage area.

Chen Yun's mind raced. The sudden power outage in the meeting room was no accident, and it immediately reminded him of Director Li's threat.

He took out his phone and dialed Lin Xue's number.

"Lin Xue, something happened at the press conference. The power suddenly went out. I suspect it was Director Li who did it."

"Call the police immediately and tell them that someone is deliberately disrupting business activities. Then contact the company's security department and ask them to send someone over for support right away!"

He finished speaking in one breath, hung up the phone, and stared intently at the audience below the stage.
