Liu Lu gently put down the documents in her hand and rubbed her slightly sore eyes.

The clamor of the victory banquet still seemed to echo in her ears, but the document in front of her pulled her back to reality.

The document clearly states: Several international giants have joined forces to attempt to block the market for Liu Lu Group.

How is that possible?

She was completely baffled.

The neon lights of the bustling city shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the office in a dazzling array of colors.

Liu Lu sat in a large office chair, looking out the window at the bustling traffic and prosperous scene.

In stark contrast, she was experiencing a great deal of emotional turmoil at that moment.

Now that the group has established a firm foothold in the international market, what should its next step be?

Should we continue with a steady and pragmatic approach, or actively explore new areas?

Various plans swirled in her mind like a revolving lantern.

The employees around me were all busy at work, the sounds of keyboards clicking and telephones ringing created a harmonious symphony of the workplace.

Liu Lu, on the other hand, was lost in her own thoughts, seemingly oblivious to the world around her.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, one tap after another, with a distinct rhythm, as if she were knocking on the door of the future.

Continuing to explore new areas means greater opportunities, but also comes with higher risks.

Overexpansion may lead to the dispersion of resources, or even allow competitors to exploit weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow.

She frowned, pacing back and forth in her office, occasionally stopping to gaze out the window, as if searching for an answer.

"Knock knock knock—" The knocking sounded on the door.

"Come in." Liu Lu composed herself and regained her usual calm.

The secretary pushed open the door and entered, holding a document in her hand: "Mr. Liu, this is a market research report on the new project."

Liu Lu took the report, quickly glanced through it, and her eyes gradually sharpened.

"Who prepared this report?"

The secretary paused for a moment, then replied, "It's Manager Wang from the Marketing Department."

Liu Lu placed the report on the table and tapped it lightly with her fingers, making a crisp sound.

"Notify Manager Wang and all relevant personnel in the marketing department to meet in the conference room in ten minutes." Her tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

The secretary nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Mr. Liu." Then she swiftly left the office to notify the relevant personnel.

Liu Lu got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling city once again.

Under the night sky, the city lights shine brightly, as dazzling as the starry sea.

She took a deep breath, her eyes firm and profound.

Ten minutes later, the conference room door was pushed open...

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the brightly lit city, Liu Lu felt her heart churning like a turbulent sea.

The market research report in her hand was like a tangled mess of threads, leaving her feeling at a loss as to where to begin.

Although the group has gained a foothold in the international market, new challenges have emerged one after another. In particular, several international giants have joined forces to block Liu Lu's group from the market, which has plunged her into an unprecedented predicament.

"Knock knock knock—" The secretary's knocking on the door again interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in." Liu Lu composed herself, trying to remain calm.

The secretary pushed open the door and entered, holding another report in her hand: "Mr. Liu, this is a summary of internal opinions regarding the new project."

Liu Lu took the report and quickly flipped through it.

The report pointed out many problems, from market risks to insufficient internal resources, all of which gave her a headache.

Some of the opinions and suggestions from higher-ups even contradicted her own ideas, which made her feel somewhat isolated and helpless.

She looked at the opposing reports, her eyes revealing weariness and helplessness, as if the heavy burden on her shoulders was making it hard for her to breathe.

Liu Lu sighed softly and sat down at her desk.

She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, trying to find a spark of inspiration.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open again, revealing her lovely daughter, Liu Bei.

"Mom, you look so tired," Liu Bei said with concern.

Liu Lu forced a smile: "It's nothing, just some work-related problems."

Liu Bei walked over to her mother, looked at the report on the table, and frowned slightly: "Aren't these questions too traditional? Maybe we can try a different approach."

Liu Lu was taken aback at first, then her eyes gradually brightened: "Change your approach? How?"

A glint of inspiration flashed in Liu Bei's eyes: "We can utilize the group's existing resources to find a point of convergence between public welfare and business. This will not only enhance the group's social image but also open up new markets."

A look of surprise flashed in Liu Lu's eyes, as if a ray of sunshine had pierced through the gloom in her heart.

She stood up and grasped Liu Bei's hand tightly: "This idea is fantastic! How could you come up with such a great idea?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Sometimes looking at a problem from a different perspective can lead to a different answer."

Liu Lu suddenly understood and decided to take immediate action.

She turned to her secretary and said, "Notify Marketing Manager Wang and other relevant personnel to have a meeting in the conference room in half an hour. We must develop a new strategy as soon as possible."

The secretary nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Liu."

Liu Lu sat back down at her desk, her eyes firm and full of hope.

She knew this would be an unprecedented challenge, but with Liu Bei's advice, she felt much more confident.

She took a deep breath, preparing for the new battle.

Half an hour later, the conference room door was pushed open, and Liu Lu walked in confidently with a determined smile on her face.

Following Liu Bei's advice, Liu Lu combined the group's future development direction with public welfare undertakings and launched a series of projects aimed at helping vulnerable groups.

The plan generated a huge response as soon as it was launched, with the media rushing to report on it and all sectors of society praising it.

Unexpectedly, some of Liu Lu's Group's competitors, who had previously been eyeing it covetously, also took the initiative to extend olive branches and seek cooperation.

The reputation and business volume of Liu Lu Group have reached unprecedented heights.

However, just when Liu Lu thought everything was going smoothly, a new crisis emerged.

An anonymous account posted a series of false information online about Liu Lu Group's fraudulent activities and deception of the public.

This information spread rapidly, sparking public skepticism and panic, and the group's stock price began to plummet.

Liu Lu immediately realized that someone was maliciously attacking her.

She quickly organized a team to conduct an investigation and actively communicated with the media to clarify the facts.

After much hard work, the truth finally came to light.

It turns out that the mastermind behind this was a senior executive who had been fired by Liu Lu. He harbored resentment and thus orchestrated this conspiracy.

Once this news was exposed, public opinion immediately reversed, and trust in Liu Lu's Group was restored to normal.

The group's stock price also began to rebound, even surpassing its previous high.

After the crisis, Liu Lu took her daughter Liu Bei to the beach for a vacation.

Sunshine, sandy beach, blue sea and sky—the mother and daughter were enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

Liu Bei excitedly shared interesting stories from school with Liu Lu, who listened tenderly, her eyes full of love.

Upon returning from her vacation, Liu Lu became even more determined in her beliefs.

She led her team to continue to innovate, and Liu Lu Group achieved even greater success in new fields.

The group is now more united and harmonious, and all past conflicts have disappeared.

At the group's celebration meeting, Liu Lu stood on the stage, looking back on the hardships and glories along the way, filled with emotion.

The employees below the stage cheered and jumped for joy, proud of the group's achievements and of this wise and courageous female leader.

Looking at the hopeful smiling faces below the stage, Liu Lu felt a surge of happiness and a sense of accomplishment.

She knew this was just the beginning, and there was a wider world waiting for them to explore in the future.

This story, full of challenges and struggles, has finally come to a perfect end.
