Watching Fan Shengmei and Su Ran's departing figures, Meng Yanchen felt a mix of emotions. He took a deep breath, turned, and strode quickly towards the company building, his steps firm. He knew he didn't have much time left to solve the problem; he not only had to deal with the company's crisis but also win back Fan Shengmei's heart. Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei, after parting ways with Su Ran, also felt a sense of unease. Su Ran's recent enthusiasm seemed to have some unknown motive.

Back in his office, Meng Yanchen buried himself in documents and materials, his eyes bloodshot, yet he dared not stop for a moment. He meticulously reviewed each file, clinging tightly to every clue. The long hours of intense work were taking their toll on his body, but his inner conviction sustained him. Finally, after countless searches and analyses, a document caught his eye. His gaze was instantly drawn to it, his pupils dilated slightly, and an incredulous look of surprise spread across his face.

This was a crucial document detailing a competitor's business violations! The paper was somewhat worn, emitting a faint smell of ink, and the densely packed text seemed like the dawn of victory. Meng Yanchen's fingers gently caressed the document, as if he were touching a rare treasure. He read it through again, word by word, and after confirming that everything was correct, he suddenly stood up, clutching the document tightly in his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement and hope.

Meng Yanchen was acutely aware of the significance of this document; it was enough to deal a major blow to the competitors and become the key to turning the tide. He paced back and forth in his office, his mind rapidly formulating his next plan. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden silhouette on him. At that moment, he seemed to already see the other side of victory.

Meanwhile, at her apartment, Fan Shengmei was preoccupied with thoughts of the company. She learned from a friend that Meng Yanchen seemed to have made a significant discovery, and the company might be on the verge of recovery. This news instantly created a conflict within her. On one hand, she still harbored resentment towards Meng Yanchen for his previous concealment; on the other hand, she couldn't bear to watch the company fall into crisis, after all, she had poured so much effort into it.

She sat on the sofa, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest, her eyes filled with hesitation. The room was utterly quiet, save for the ticking of the wall clock, as if urging her to make a decision. She recalled the days she and Meng Yanchen had fought side by side at the company, those moments of facing difficulties together, and a warmth welled up in her heart. But the thought of Meng Yanchen's concealment from her replaced that warmth with a chill.

Su Ran noticed Fan Shengmei's unusual behavior. He went to her place and saw her looking troubled, and guessed what was going on. "Xiaomei, are you worried about things at the company?" Su Ran asked softly, his eyes full of concern.

Fan Shengmei looked up at Su Ran, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke her mind. "Su Ran, I heard that the company might be turning around, I... I don't know if I should go back to help."

Su Ran's heart tightened. He knew that if Fan Shengmei returned to Meng Yanchen's side, all his previous efforts might be in vain. He sat down next to Fan Shengmei, took her hand, and said earnestly, "Xiaomei, think about how Meng Yanchen treated you before. He's not worth your continued efforts. Besides, now that you're with me, I can give you a stable life, and you won't have to get involved in those complicated workplace struggles anymore."

Fan Shengmei looked at Su Ran, feeling touched, but she still withdrew her hand. "Su Ran, thank you for your concern, but the company's crisis is not just Meng Yanchen's problem; I also bear responsibility."

Su Ran frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her gentleness. "Xiao Mei, I understand your sense of responsibility, but you also need to think about yourself. What if Meng Yanchen hurts you again if you go back there?"

Fan Shengmei fell silent. Su Ran's words deepened her inner turmoil. She knew Su Ran meant well, but deep down, she couldn't let go of the company's crisis.

Meanwhile, Meng Yanchen had already begun preparations for releasing the document. He summoned several of his most trusted subordinates to the conference room to discuss the plan in detail. The atmosphere in the conference room was serious, and everyone's expression was solemn, fully aware of the importance of this document.

"We must ensure that everything is foolproof. Once this document is released, our competitors will definitely resort to desperate measures. We need to prepare countermeasures in advance." Meng Yanchen looked at everyone with a firm gaze, his voice steady and powerful.

The subordinates nodded and began reporting on their preparations. Meng Yanchen listened while continuously refining the plan in his mind, not overlooking any detail.

After Su Ran left, Fan Shengmei sat alone in her room for a long time, lost in thought. She got up and went to the window, looking out at the bustling streets, the people coming and going, the traffic flowing. The noise of the city reached her ears, but it couldn't dispel the turmoil in her heart.

She recalled her initial ambitions upon joining the company, her colleagues who had fought alongside her, and her efforts to escape the hardships of her family background. All of this was inextricably linked to the company. She gritted her teeth and finally made her decision.

Meanwhile, Su Ran returned home and sat on the sofa in the living room, his face grim. He knew Fan Shengmei was deeply attached to the company, and it wouldn't be easy for him to keep her. He picked up his phone, looked at a number in his contacts, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed it.

"Hey, help me check the document Meng Yanchen is planning to release, see if there's any way to stop him." Su Ran's voice was icy, and her eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

A low voice came from the other end of the phone, and Su Ran's expression grew increasingly grim. "No matter what it takes, we must stop him. I don't want to see Fan Shengmei back in his life." With that, he hung up and threw his phone heavily onto the sofa.

Will Meng Yanchen be able to use this document to turn the tide? Will Fan Shengmei choose to return to Meng Yanchen's side, or continue to stay with Su Ran? Everything remains to be seen…
