Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei returned to their office and sat down on the sofa again, looking at the list of alliance members and their respective concerns on the whiteboard. Meng Yanchen took a deep breath and said, "Shengmei, we need to develop a more detailed plan, providing practical solutions to each of their worries." Fan Shengmei nodded, her eyes regaining their fighting spirit: "Okay, let's approach it from the different perspectives of the business alliance and the working women's alliance, showing them the value of cooperation." The two exchanged a glance, then picked up pens and began writing furiously on paper; the only sound in the office was the scratching of pens on paper.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto Meng Yanchen's desk in the Fu Group's office. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei sat on the sofa, continuing their discussion on strategies to persuade the alliance members. Meng Yanchen rubbed his temples and said, "The business alliance's biggest concerns are potential losses and Chen Tianhao's retaliation. We need to find a way to show them that the benefits of cooperation far outweigh the risks." Fan Shengmei pondered for a moment and replied, "The working women's alliance, besides fearing retaliation, also lacks confidence in their own strength, feeling that confronting Chen Tianhao is futile. We need to give them confidence and demonstrate the possibility of success."

After the discussion, Meng Yanchen stood up, straightened his suit, and prepared to head to the luxurious conference room where he would meet with the business alliance members. Fan Shengmei, on the other hand, picked up her handbag and went to the cozy café to meet with the leaders of the working women's alliance.

Meng Yanchen entered the luxurious conference room, where members of the business alliance were already seated. Inside, a huge crystal chandelier shone brightly, illuminating the conference table, and the high-end solid wood tables and chairs exuded a faint woody fragrance. Meng Yanchen stood before the projector, his expression serious. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “yesterday I only briefly mentioned Chen Tianhao’s threat. Today, I will analyze his business ambitions in detail.” As he spoke, he operated the projector, displaying a series of data and charts. “Chen Tianhao’s mysterious investment group has been secretly acquiring shares in various companies in recent years, attempting to gradually control the entire industry. Once he successfully destroys the Fu Group, his next target will likely be any of your companies.” Meng Yanchen pointed to the data on the charts, his tone heavy. “These data show that his schemes have already extended to multiple sectors, and our market share is gradually being eroded by him. If we don’t unite, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

One of the business alliance members frowned and questioned, "President Meng, we understand what you're saying, but Chen Tianhao is very powerful. How can we guarantee that we can stand up to him after we cooperate? And even if we succeed, what practical benefits will we get?"

Meng Yanchen smiled slightly and said confidently, "This is what I'm about to say. The Fu Group has already formulated a detailed response plan. We have a professional team and ample resources. Once the alliance is established, we will share these resources, jointly develop market strategies, and reclaim the market share that Chen Tianhao has seized. As for the profits, after the cooperation is successful, we can redistribute the market, and everyone will gain more benefits than they do now."

Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei sat in a cozy café, surrounded by leaders of the Working Women's Alliance. The café was filled with the rich aroma of coffee, and soft music played in the air. Fan Shengmei smiled, her eyes sincere. "Sisters," she began, "I'd like to share my own experiences in the workplace. I come from a poor family, and to escape the hardships of my upbringing, I worked hard in the workplace. Starting from the bottom, I endured countless cold shoulders and discrimination." A flicker of pain crossed Fan Shengmei's eyes, but she quickly regained her resolve. "And forces like Chen Tianhao, for their own benefit, will stop at nothing to suppress newcomers, especially women. Their existence makes the workplace environment even worse, and the path to advancement even more difficult for women."

A member of the working women's alliance nodded in agreement: "Sister Fan, you're absolutely right. We do often encounter all sorts of unfair treatment at work, but what can we do? Chen Tianhao is not someone to be trifled with."

Fan Shengmei grasped her hand and said, "That's why we need to unite. Our Women in the Workplace Alliance already possesses immense power, but we haven't fully utilized it. Fighting Chen Tianhao is not only about changing the current workplace environment, but also about creating a level playing field for future working women."

Back in Meng Yanchen's conference room, Meng Yanchen continued, "Please take a look, everyone. This is detailed information that the Fu Group has collected regarding Chen Tianhao's secret plans." He distributed a stack of documents to the business alliance members. "From this information, we can see that his plan has reached a critical stage. If we don't act now, he will soon defeat us one by one."

The business alliance members carefully reviewed the documents, their expressions gradually becoming serious. One of the members said, "President Meng, these documents have indeed made us realize the urgency of the crisis, but Chen Tianhao is vindictive. We are worried that if we confront him, he will secretly sabotage our company and cause us losses."

Meng Yanchen was prepared. He said, "There's no need to worry about that. The Fu Group will arrange a professional legal team and security force to protect you. If we discover that Chen Tianhao has used any improper business practices, we will resolutely fight back through legal channels. Moreover, the stronger our alliance is, the less he will dare to act rashly."

In the coffee shop, Fan Shengmei continued, "I know everyone is worried about Chen Tianhao's retaliation, and I am too. But we can't back down because of fear. We can develop detailed countermeasures, such as establishing an information-sharing mechanism so that we can respond promptly to any disturbances. Moreover, we can use the power of the media to expose Chen Tianhao's actions and let public opinion restrain him."

However, despite Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei's best efforts, some members remained worried about Chen Tianhao's retaliation. A more conservative member of the business alliance shook his head and said, "President Meng, your plan sounds perfect, but the risk is still too great. Our company can't afford any setbacks. If something goes wrong, decades of hard work will be ruined."

Members of the working women's alliance echoed, "Sister Fan, we understand your good intentions and agree with your point of view, but Chen Tianhao's retaliation may cause us to lose everything we have now, and we really dare not take the risk lightly."

Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei knew that persuading these members would not be easy. Meng Yanchen looked at the business alliance members and said sincerely, "Everyone, I understand your concerns, but we don't have much time left. Chen Tianhao's actions are getting faster and faster, and we must seize this opportunity and unite to have a chance of winning."

Fan Shengmei also told the members of the Working Women's Alliance: "Sisters, we cannot continue to be oppressed by such forces. This is our chance to change our destiny. As long as we are united, there is nothing to be afraid of."

As dusk fell, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei returned to the Fu Group office after a day of persuasion. They sat on the sofa, exchanging a weary glance. Fan Shengmei said somewhat dejectedly, "Yanchen, today's results weren't ideal. Many people are still worried about retaliation and unwilling to cooperate."

Meng Yanchen gently held Fan Shengmei's hand and comforted her, "Don't be discouraged, Shengmei. This is just the first step. It takes time to persuade them. Let's think of other ways. We'll definitely find a solution that will reassure them to cooperate."

Fan Shengmei nodded, hope rekindling in her eyes: "Okay, let's try again."

The two men fell into deep thought, pondering how to dispel the members' concerns about retaliation against Chen Tianhao. Whether they could successfully form an alliance against Chen Tianhao remained uncertain. The office quieted down, with only the faint sounds of the city outside the window, as if telling the story of the unknown outcome of this difficult struggle.
