At the same time, in a secret private club somewhere in the city, Fu Chen's face was gloomy.

Xu Zhao sat opposite him, playing with an exquisite lighter in his hand, and the metal made a crisp sound as it opened and closed.

"I've already taken care of it, sister." Xu Zhao was the first to break the silence, his tone a little proud, "Su Yao, that stupid woman, is really easily provoked."

"People who are blinded by hatred are always the easiest to use." Fu Chen picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the warm wine, and his Adam's apple rolled.

"Are you sure she can have a say in the Jiang family?" He expressed doubts about Su Yao's ability.

After all, the Su family is no longer the same as it used to be. A family as powerful as the Jiang family cannot be easily influenced.

"Brother-in-law, you underestimate women's jealousy." Xu Zhao sneered.

"Su Yao may not be important enough to Mr. Jiang, but there are always a few people in the Jiang family's side branches who are nostalgic or can't stand Ning Nanxue's dominance."

"As long as she's willing to whisper in our ear, or 'accidentally' reveal some information that's unfavorable to Ning Nanxue on certain occasions, that's enough. We don't need her to directly interfere with the Jiang family's decision-making." Xu Zhao placed his lighter on the table, leaned forward, and lowered his voice. "What we need is information."

"The Jiang family's business trends, especially the inside information related to the new energy project, even if it's just a rumor, are extremely important to us."

Fu Chen's eyes moved slightly. Xu Zhao was right. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Jiang Tingchen is Ning Nanxue's biggest backer. If she can grasp the Jiang family's layout in advance, she can predict Jiang Tingchen's actions and even set a trap.

"You want Su Yao to get the Jiang family's business secrets?" Fu Chen asked, "It's not called getting, it's called 'caring'."

Xu Zhao smiled meaningfully. "Have her, as a close friend of the Su family, ask about the Jiang family's recent situation. Ask her indirectly what major projects Jiang Tingchen is currently working on, or express her concerns about whether the Fu family's current situation will drag down the Jiang family. As long as you ask the right questions, you can always get some useful information."

"We can reveal these 'fragments' to certain people at the appropriate time."

"For example, those companies that have always coveted the Fu family or have a competitive relationship with the Jiang family."

Fu Chen's eyes darkened.

He understood what Xu Zhao meant. He wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and push the Jiang family and Ning Nanxue into the encirclement of more opponents.

"I've already contacted a few," Xu Zhao said gravely, his cigarette ash falling onto the expensive carpet without him noticing. "They're all rather ambiguous. They want to reap the benefits, but they're also afraid of getting burned."

"We need to add fuel to the fire." Xu Zhao's eyes became sharp. "If we can provide some inside information about the Jiang family as a token of 'sincerity', proving that we have the ability to shake Jiang Tingchen, they will be more confident in their actions."

"Think about it, once several companies unite, coupled with the noise Su Yao creates within the Jiang family, how long can Ning Nanxue last?"

"With internal and external troubles, and enemies coming from all sides, she won't even be able to protect herself, let alone manage the Fu family."

Fu Chen did not respond immediately, but rubbed his fingertips against the wall of the cup.

Xu Zhao's plan was very thorough and vicious. He involved all of Su Yao, the Jiang family, and the Fu family's competitors, weaving a big net against Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen.

The top floor conference room of Fu Group.

On the huge display screen, the green downward curve stung the eyes of everyone present.

Fu's stock price once again showed an ugly downward trend.

Ning Nanxue sat in the main seat with a cold expression. The documents spread out in front of her summarized all the recent negative reports about the Fu family.

"Marketing Department, the latest public opinion feedback." Ning Nanxue's voice broke the silence. The marketing manager stood up with sweat on his forehead, his voice a little tense.

"Mr. Ning, there has been a sudden explosion of anonymous posts and reports these past few days about our tight capital chain, obstacles in our new energy projects, and even...even questioning your management capabilities."

"It's difficult to trace the source, as most of it is just gossip, but it spreads very quickly and has caused panic among shareholders and internal employees."

Another executive added: "The PR department has been trying their best to clarify the situation, but the results... have been less than ideal. The stock price has been the most direct reaction, dropping another three points at the opening today."

"What's more troublesome is that several key project partners we are negotiating with have become hesitant, and progress has been forced to slow down."

"People are also in a state of panic internally. Many employees' work performance has clearly declined, and they are worried about the company's future."

Every word was like a stone, hitting the heavy air.

Ning Nanxue listened quietly, scanning the data on the display screen with sharp eyes.

After the report came to a temporary end, Ning Nanxue slowly spoke.

"What are you panicking about?" Her voice was quiet, but it instantly quieted the conference room. "Falling stock prices, negative news—hasn't the Fu family experienced these things enough? Especially in times like these, we need to maintain our composure."

She looked at the marketing manager and said, "Continue to trace the source. There's no need to immediately clarify all the rumors. The key is to provide substantial evidence and launch a counterattack in batches and at a rhythmic pace."

"For projects that have slowed down, we should proactively communicate with the other party, explain the current situation clearly, and demonstrate our resolve and strength. If necessary, I can personally intervene."

"The most important thing," Ning Nanxue emphasized, "is to calm the internal emotions. Hold a department meeting and transparently convey the true situation and our response strategy. Tell everyone that the Fu Group will not collapse, and I, Ning Nanxue, will not retreat."

After the meeting, the executives left in a hurry. The worries on their brows had not completely dissipated, but at least they had a backbone.
