The morning light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating Liu Lu's face and highlighting her resolute expression.

Ten minutes later, the conference room was filled with department managers, and the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed to freeze.

Liu Lu glanced around, her gaze sharp as a hawk's. "I've gathered everyone here today to announce the group's management restructuring plan." She handed the thick stack of documents to Secretary Chen for distribution, her clear voice echoing in the conference room.

The details of the plan quickly spread to every corner, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

What began as whispers turned into open questioning.

Some long-time employees, accustomed to the old ways, looked troubled. They huddled together, whispering among themselves, their words filled with worry and dissatisfaction.

"This plan is simply not going to work! It completely disrupts our existing workflow!" Sales Manager Wang was the first to stand up and object, his voice loud and clearly showing his resistance.

“Yes, Mr. Liu, we’ve been doing this for so many years and it’s always been fine, why do we need to change it?” Manager Li from the purchasing department chimed in.

Soon, dissenting voices grew louder and louder, surging towards Liu Lu like a tidal wave.

The pressure weighed heavily on Liu Lu's shoulders, but she did not back down in the slightest.

To everyone's surprise, she did not take strong measures to suppress these dissenting voices, but instead chose a more gentle approach—communication.

She approached each of the employees who were strongly opposed, patiently listened to their thoughts, and understood their concerns.

“Manager Wang, I know you’re worried that the new plan will affect sales performance, but…” Liu Lu’s voice was sincere and firm, “Manager Li, you’re right, experience is important, but…” She didn’t directly refute him, but tried to find common ground between the two parties and seek the best solution to the problem.

This approach surprised the employees and made them re-evaluate the young leader.

The meeting room gradually quieted down, leaving only Liu Lu's gentle yet firm voice.

“I know change is not easy, but for the long-term development of the group…” She paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, “I hope everyone can give me, and the group, a chance.”

Late at night, the light in Liu Lu's office was still on.

She rubbed her sore eyes, got up and walked to the window, gazing at the myriad lights outside, and said softly, "Secretary Chen, arrange for me to speak with Manager Wang alone tomorrow..."

The next morning, Liu Lu met with Wang, the sales manager, alone.

To Manager Wang's surprise, Liu Lu did not put on airs as a CEO. Instead, she chatted with him like an old friend, talking about everything from his work pressure to his family life. Gradually, Manager Wang's guard was lowered.

Liu Lu then began to discuss the rectification plan. Instead of giving a long explanation of the plan's benefits, she addressed each of the issues raised by Manager Wang, providing solutions one by one. She even adopted some of Manager Wang's suggestions and incorporated them into the plan.

Ultimately, Manager Wang was moved by Liu Lu's sincerity and professionalism, completely changed his attitude, and became a staunch supporter of the rectification plan.

Manager Wang's change of heart was like the first domino to fall, and other employees who had initially opposed the idea also changed their attitudes and actively cooperated with Liu Lu's work.

Liu Lu's leadership has been fully demonstrated. She is no longer the young president who just arrived, but a leader who can lead the group to glory.

However, during the rectification process, Liu Lu unexpectedly discovered a deeper hidden problem.

The group's financial statements showed some abnormal data. After careful investigation, she discovered that the source of the management loophole was Zhang Qiang, the head of the finance department.

Zhang Qiang abused his position for personal gain, engaging in favoritism and corruption to enrich himself, with a huge sum of money involved.

Liu Lu acted decisively, removing Zhang Qiang from his position and appointing a young, promising, and upright new supervisor—Li Ming.

After taking office, Li Ming immediately carried out a thorough overhaul of the finance department, which revitalized the atmosphere within the group.

One late night, Li Ming was working overtime alone in his office when suddenly, the office door was gently pushed open...

"Manager Li, are you still busy so late?" A cold voice sounded behind Li Ming.

Li Ming turned around abruptly and saw Zhang Qiang standing at the door with a sinister smile on his face.

“Zhang Qiang, you…” Li Ming was startled and subconsciously stood up.

"Manager Li, don't be nervous, I'm just here to see you." Zhang Qiang slowly walked up to Li Ming, his tone carrying a hint of threat. "A new broom sweeps clean, and you're certainly making a big splash." Li Ming met Zhang Qiang's gaze without flinching. "I'm just fulfilling my duties, correcting mistakes, and protecting the group's interests." Zhang Qiang sneered. "Young man, you're too naive. Some things aren't for you to control."

The next day, Li Ming ran into trouble.

Some important financial data mysteriously disappeared, making it impossible for him to complete his work.

Li Ming calmly analyzed the situation and quickly discovered that the data had been deliberately deleted.

He quickly contacted the IT department, restored the data, and secretly strengthened data security measures.

In the following days, similar incidents occurred one after another, but Li Ming skillfully resolved them all.

His calm and collected response impressed his colleagues and frustrated those who had been secretly trying to obstruct him.

Gradually, the finance department staff began to genuinely cooperate with Li Ming's work, and the department's work efficiency improved significantly.

That evening, Liu Lu dragged her tired body home, where her daughter Liu Bei had already prepared a sumptuous dinner and was waiting for her.

"Mom, you've worked so hard!" Liu Bei's sweet voice warmed Liu Lu's heart.

The mother and daughter ate together. Liu Bei chattered on about the interesting things that happened at school, and Liu Lu's face showed a long-lost smile.

The warm family atmosphere filled her with renewed strength.

Just as the group's management was gradually getting on track, a new competitor suddenly appeared in the business world - "Xingyao Group".

Xingyao Group came on strong and immediately took away a significant portion of Liu Lu Group's market share.

Chairman Zhao and General Manager Qian also felt the pressure, and they both called Liu Lu to express their concerns.

"President Liu, Xingyao Group's product prices are ridiculously low. How should we respond?" President Qian asked anxiously.

Liu Lu pondered for a moment, "I'm calling an emergency meeting. I want to see just what kind of company Xingyao Group is."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense.

The projector displayed information about Xingyao Group, and everyone's expressions were solemn.

"How is the quality of their products?" Liu Lu asked.

Professor Sun adjusted his glasses. "According to our investigation, the quality of their products..." He paused, "...is actually comparable to ours!" The crowd erupted in an uproar.

Just then, Attorney Wu's phone rang. "Attorney Wu, what's up?" Liu Lu asked.

Attorney Wu's expression changed. "Mr. Liu, Xingyao Group...they..." He hesitated, "...they..."
