Meng Yanchen looked at Fan Shengmei, his eyes firm and calm: "Shengmei, we can't panic. Since they've sent a mole, we'll play along. Let's remain calm and investigate discreetly. I'll arrange for security and the technical team to monitor the company; you keep an eye out for anything unusual within the project team. We must find the mole before they act and protect the project data." Fan Shengmei nodded, her eyes revealing the same determination: "Okay, I'll keep a close eye on things. We absolutely cannot let them succeed." The two exchanged a glance and quickly began to act, leaving only the sound of their hurried footsteps in the office.

Fan Shengmei returned to the project team, outwardly continuing her work as if nothing had happened, but her eyes were constantly watching the actions of her colleagues. Every subtle change in expression, every seemingly casual conversation, could potentially hide clues. She could sense an invisible pressure enveloping the entire team; everyone seemed to have noticed the unusual nature of the project, yet remained tacitly aware of it.

Meng Yanchen immediately summoned the heads of security and the technical team. Standing in front of the whiteboard in the conference room, he circled several key areas with a red marker: "This area, this area, and this area are the storage areas for the company's core data. They must be closely monitored. Any abnormal access records must be reported to me immediately. In addition, conduct a comprehensive investigation of the company's internal network communications to see if there is any suspicious information transmission." The head of security nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Meng, we will do our best." The head of the technical team also quickly added: "We guarantee to complete the task and will not overlook any clues."

However, before Meng Yanchen could even catch his breath, some business fluctuations arose within the company. The reports from the finance department made him frown; several important projects were delayed, and costs had exceeded budgets. At the same time, his secretary rushed into the office, her face grave, and said, "Mr. Meng, we just received news that the company's stock price has slightly declined." Meng Yanchen rubbed his temples, a wave of exhaustion washing over him. He knew this was no coincidence; it was definitely the work of competitors.

Meng Yanchen knew that stability was paramount within the company at this critical juncture. He decided to convene an emergency shareholders' meeting to reassure the shareholders. The atmosphere inside the meeting room was tense and oppressive. Shareholders voiced their concerns about the company's current situation. "Mr. Meng, what's causing this stock price drop? How will our interests be protected?" "Yes, the company has been facing numerous business problems lately. Do you have any solutions?" Meng Yanchen stood up, his gaze sweeping firmly over each shareholder: "Gentlemen, I understand your concerns. The company is indeed facing some challenges, but these are malicious attacks from competitors. We are already taking measures to resolve them, and I believe we will stabilize the situation soon. Please give the company some time and give me your trust." Despite Meng Yanchen's confident words, doubts remained etched on the shareholders' faces.

After finally finishing the shareholders' meeting, Meng Yanchen returned to his office and had just sat down when Fan Shengmei walked in. Seeing his exhausted appearance, she felt a pang of sympathy: "Yanchen, don't overwork yourself. I haven't noticed anything unusual yet, but I'll continue to keep an eye on things." Meng Yanchen forced a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Shengmei. The company is facing difficulties both internally and externally, and I really feel overwhelmed." Fan Shengmei stepped forward and gently took Meng Yanchen's hand: "Don't worry, we'll face this together. I believe we can overcome this challenge." Looking at Fan Shengmei, Meng Yanchen felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but then he thought of Su Ran's pursuit of him, and a sense of annoyance crept into his heart.

Just then, Meng Yanchen's phone rang. It was Su Ran calling. Meng Yanchen hesitated for a moment, then answered. "Mr. Meng, how have you been lately? I heard the Fu Group has been having a lot of trouble lately," Su Ran said sarcastically on the other end of the line. Meng Yanchen coldly replied, "Su Ran, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush." ​​Su Ran chuckled, "I just wanted to remind Mr. Meng that a woman as outstanding as Fan Shengmei deserves a better match. You're struggling to make ends meet yourself, how can you give her happiness?" Meng Yanchen gripped his phone tightly, suppressing his anger, "My affairs are none of your concern. Shengmei will make her own choice." With that, he hung up.

Fan Shengmei looked at Meng Yanchen and noticed his unusual expression: "Whose call was that? Is something wrong?" Meng Yanchen, not wanting Fan Shengmei to worry, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just someone insignificant." But Fan Shengmei could tell from his expression that things weren't so simple. She didn't press further, simply staying silently by Meng Yanchen's side.

Sitting at his desk, Meng Yanchen stared at the mountain of documents piled up on it, his anxiety growing stronger. He knew he not only had to contend with pressure from external competitors and the established forces within the industry association, but also appease the company's shareholders and manage the delicate relationship with Fan Shengmei arising from Su Ran's pursuit. This immense pressure felt like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe. He rubbed his temples, trying to clear his head and consider how to handle this complex situation.

Time slipped away in tension and anxiety. While monitoring the security and technical teams' investigation into the mole, Meng Yanchen also worked tirelessly to find solutions to the company's business problems. He frequently communicated with department heads to develop countermeasures. However, competitors seemed unwilling to let the Fu Group off the hook easily, constantly creating trouble and keeping Meng Yanchen busy.

In the company corridor, Meng Yanchen overheard several employees whispering, "I heard the company is in big trouble this time. The stock price keeps falling, and I don't know if it can hold on." "Yeah, I wonder if President Meng has any way to solve this. If this continues, we're all probably going to lose our jobs." Hearing these comments, Meng Yanchen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that he bore the fate of the entire company on his shoulders and could not back down in the slightest.

Fan Shengmei also faced immense pressure within the project team. Her colleagues became increasingly indifferent, and some even gossiped about her behind her back. But she ignored all of that, focused solely on finding the mole and pushing the project forward. She used her intelligence and meticulousness to search for clues in seemingly insignificant details.

One day, while organizing project materials, Fan Shengmei noticed something unusual about the modification history of a document. Upon closer inspection, she discovered it had been modified by a seemingly insignificant colleague. Moreover, the modifications involved crucial project information. A thought struck Fan Shengmei: could this person be the mole? She didn't make a fuss, but instead quietly shared her discovery with Meng Yanchen.

Upon learning of this, Meng Yanchen immediately arranged for his security team to conduct a covert investigation into the colleague. At the same time, he strengthened protection measures for the company's core data. However, just as the investigation was about to yield results, a new problem arose.

Suddenly, Vice President Li of the industry association launched an attack, accusing the Fu Group on some unfounded grounds and demanding an investigation. Meng Yanchen knew this was definitely the result of collusion between competitors and Vice President Li. He had to deal with the pressure from the industry association on one hand, and worry about an insider potentially sabotaging the project documents at any time on the other.

Meng Yanchen paced back and forth in his office, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew he had reached a critical juncture; if he couldn't handle these issues properly, the Fu Group could suffer enormous losses. And his future with Fan Shengmei could also be affected.

Can Meng Yanchen withstand these multiple pressures? What more serious consequences will the company's business fluctuations and stock price decline bring? Everything is full of unknowns.
