Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei strode towards the emergency meeting room. Pushing open the door, they found the alliance members already anxiously waiting inside. Meng Yanchen stepped forward with a serious expression and said, “Everyone, Chen Tianhao’s counterattack is fierce, but we must not back down. Now let’s discuss a countermeasure together and make sure his conspiracy fails.” Everyone nodded, and a tense discussion began. Whether they could successfully resolve the crisis remained to be seen.

The conference room was dimly lit, its pale light casting a chilling shadow over everyone. A large electronic screen on the wall flickered with various data and charts, the constantly shifting lines mirroring the turbulent heartbeats of the attendees. The air conditioner hummed softly, but did little to dispel the tense atmosphere that permeated the air.

Meng Yanchen stood before the conference table, his hands gripping the surface, his piercing gaze sweeping over everyone present. “Everyone is aware of the current situation. Chen Tianhao is using his connections to commercially suppress our alliance members, disrupting raw material supplies and destabilizing the market. Simultaneously, negative news online has severely damaged our reputation. We must strengthen the alliance's cohesion from within; only by uniting can we withstand his attacks. Furthermore, we must seek more external support to expand our influence.” His voice was steady and powerful, resonating throughout the conference room like a booming bell.

Fan Shengmei continued, "Those who spread false and negative news must be punished by law. We cannot allow them to smear and mislead the public online at will. I propose that we hold them accountable through legal means and let the truth come to light." Her eyes were firm, revealing an unwavering determination.

The alliance members began whispering among themselves. One of the elderly men, with gray hair, frowned and said, "President Meng, Ms. Fan, we understand the principles, but putting them into practice is easier said than done. The commercial suppression has already made it difficult for our company to operate, and we have also encountered a large funding gap. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to have the resources to deal with other issues."

Meng Yanchen nodded slightly, his expression grave, and said, "I understand everyone's difficulties, so we need to coordinate resources among alliance members. The Fu Group is willing to allocate some funds to help companies facing raw material supply disruptions find new suppliers and ensure normal production. At the same time, we can unite to jointly address malicious competition from rivals and stabilize market share."

At this point, another young entrepreneur said with some concern, "But even if we solve the problems of raw materials and markets, the negative news on the internet will still have a lasting impact on our reputation. Once the public loses trust in us, it will be too difficult to regain it."

Fan Shengmei smiled confidently and said, "There's no need to worry about that. I've assembled a professional legal team, and they're working hard to gather evidence. I believe we'll soon be able to file a lawsuit against those media outlets and individuals who maliciously spread negative news. At the same time, we'll also use positive publicity to explain to the public our true purpose in exposing Chen Tianhao, so that everyone can see our sincerity and determination."

The discussions continued, with Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei constantly communicating and coordinating with alliance members to develop detailed response plans. Time slipped away quietly in the tense atmosphere.

Meng Yanchen stood up, looked around at everyone again, and said loudly, "Everyone, we are facing a severe challenge, but also an opportunity. If we can successfully resolve this crisis, we can not only thwart Chen Tianhao's conspiracy, but also strengthen our alliance and achieve greater success in the business world. Let us join hands and overcome this difficulty together!"

Everyone stood up, their eyes rekindling with fighting spirit, and responded in unison, "Let's get through this together!"

After the meeting, Meng Yanchen immediately threw himself into resource coordination. He sat in his office, his desk piled high with documents, data flashing on his computer screen. He made calls while rapidly jotting down information. “Mr. Zhang, I’m aware of your company’s raw material issue. The funds will be in place soon; please contact new suppliers as soon as possible.” “Mr. Li, regarding the market competition issue, we have developed a joint response strategy; we will send you the detailed plan later.”

Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei led her legal team in a tense work session in another conference room. The table was piled high with documents and materials, and the lawyers were busily organizing the evidence. Looking at the mountain of documents, Fan Shengmei's brow furrowed slightly, but her eyes remained resolute. "Everyone, carefully check the evidence again to ensure there are no omissions. We must make sure those who spread rumors receive the punishment they deserve."

The head of the legal team adjusted his glasses and said, "Ms. Fan, we have almost finished collecting the evidence, and we are confident of winning this case. However, we still need to take measures as soon as possible to guide public opinion."

Fan Shengmei nodded and said, "I have already arranged for the public relations team to prepare positive publicity content. We will use various channels to explain the truth of the matter to the public."

Meanwhile, the public relations team was also working diligently on a publicity campaign. They analyzed the current public opinion landscape and developed a detailed publicity plan. "We can first release a statement explaining the reasons and process of exposing Chen Tianhao, along with some relevant evidence photos and videos. Then, we can contact major media platforms for positive coverage." "We can also hold some online and offline interactive events to enhance communication and trust with the public." Team members shared their ideas in a lively atmosphere.

As time went on, various countermeasures were gradually implemented. The legal team filed lawsuits against media outlets and individuals who maliciously spread negative news. The public relations team released carefully prepared statements and promotional materials, which began to circulate on major media platforms. Under Meng Yanchen's coordination, alliance member companies also actively allocated resources to jointly cope with the business suppression.

However, Chen Tianhao didn't sit idly by. After learning of Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei's countermeasures, he flew into a rage in his office. "They actually dared to resist! Intensify your efforts and continue to cause trouble for those alliance member companies. At the same time, find ways to interfere with their legal proceedings and media campaigns." His eyes were filled with anger and resentment, like a trapped wild beast desperately struggling to break free of its cage.

In the days that followed, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei faced even greater pressure. Chen Tianhao's counterattacks grew increasingly fierce. Although the alliance member companies tried their best to persevere, some companies couldn't withstand the pressure and showed signs of wavering. Online public opinion also presented a complex situation, with some uninformed netizens continuing to spread negative comments and expressing doubts about Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei's response.

Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei met again in the office. Both looked tired, but their eyes remained firm. "Yanchen, the current situation is not optimistic. Some alliance member companies are starting to hesitate about whether to continue cooperating, and online public opinion is also unfavorable to us," Fan Shengmei said worriedly.

Meng Yanchen gently held Fan Shengmei's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, we've come this far, we can't give up easily. I will go and communicate with those wavering alliance members again to strengthen their confidence. You continue to follow up on the legal proceedings and public opinion campaign. We will definitely get through this."

Fan Shengmei nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I believe we can do it."

Will Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei be able to successfully defuse Chen Tianhao's counterattack? Will their response be accepted by the public? Everything remains to be seen, and this fierce battle of business and public opinion continues...
