Fan Shengmei took a deep breath, grabbed her coat, and resolutely opened the door. The hallway was dimly lit, casting a long shadow of her. She strode confidently towards the elevator, her mind focused on the company's crisis and Meng Yanchen, her gaze growing increasingly resolute. Meanwhile, Meng Yanchen was in the company's conference room, awaiting the arrival of the senior management, preparing to take the crucial step to turn the tide.

In the conference room, a huge oval conference table occupied the central position, and several abstract paintings hung on the surrounding walls, which seemed out of place with the tense and serious atmosphere inside. Meng Yanchen stood in front of the projector, holding the crucial document in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the senior executives who were taking their seats one after another.

Once everyone was seated, Meng Yanchen cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I've gathered you all here today to announce something important. After tireless investigation, we've found key documents regarding our competitor's business violations." He then projected the documents onto the large screen; the text on the documents was clearly visible.

A murmur rippled through the conference room. Then, Mr. Wang, the sales manager, broke the silence, his brow furrowed and his voice filled with worry. "Mr. Meng," he said, "while this document is advantageous to us, once it's released, our competitors will undoubtedly retaliate fiercely. They have extensive connections in the industry, and we'll likely find ourselves in an even more difficult situation."

Immediately afterward, Mr. Li, the head of the finance department, chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Meng. Although our current financial situation can still hold up, if our competitors launch a counterattack or the market fluctuates, our cash flow may be affected. The risk is too great."

Meng Yanchen frowned slightly and patiently explained, "I understand everyone's concerns, but this is the best time for us to resolve the crisis. Once our competitors' violations are exposed, their reputation will plummet and their market share will drop significantly. We can take this opportunity to expand our market and enhance our competitiveness. As for retaliation, we can prepare in advance, strengthen security, and closely monitor their movements."

However, the senior executives still looked troubled and shook their heads. Meng Yanchen was somewhat anxious; he knew that without the support of the higher-ups, the plan would be difficult to implement.

At that moment, Fan Shengmei rushed to the company. She jogged along, the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor echoing loudly in the quiet corridor. Reaching the conference room door, she took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and pushed the door open.

All eyes turned to her, and a hint of surprise flashed in Meng Yanchen's eyes. Fan Shengmei nodded slightly, indicating her purpose, and then walked to Meng Yanchen's side.

"Distinguished leaders, I know you're all worried about the consequences of releasing this document, but let's look at it from another angle. If we don't release it, our competitors will continue to suppress us, and our situation will only become more and more difficult. This document, however, is a powerful weapon for our counterattack." Fan Shengmei's voice was firm, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.

“Ms. Fan, that’s true, but the risk is just too great. We can’t gamble with the company’s future,” said Mr. Zhang from the Human Resources Department.

Fan Shengmei smiled slightly and said calmly, "President Zhang, I understand your concerns. But we can develop a detailed response plan to minimize the risks. Moreover, this crisis is also an opportunity for us—an opportunity to rebuild the company's image and enhance its market position. If we succeed, the company's future will be limitless."

Meng Yanchen looked at Fan Shengmei with admiration in his eyes. He continued, "Miss Fan is right. We cannot back down because of fear; we must take the initiative. I believe that as long as we are united, we will be able to deal with our competitors' counterattack."

A brief silence fell over the meeting room as everyone pondered Fan Shengmei and Meng Yanchen's words.

After a long pause, Mr. Zhao from the Marketing Department slowly spoke up: "Mr. Meng, Ms. Fan, I think we can give it a try. But we must make full preparations to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Subsequently, several more senior executives expressed their agreement. Meng Yanchen was overjoyed. Looking at the remaining executives who were still hesitating, he continued, "Don't worry, everyone. I have already formulated a preliminary response plan. There will be dedicated personnel to handle all matters and keep the risks to a minimum."

Thanks to the efforts of Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei, more and more senior executives began to waver, and eventually, most of them agreed to the plan to release the documents.

Looking at everyone, Meng Yanchen said gratefully, "Thank you all for your support. We will definitely be able to overcome this crisis and take the company to new heights."

After the meeting, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei walked out of the conference room. Meng Yanchen looked at Fan Shengmei and said sincerely, "Thank you, Fan Shengmei. If it weren't for you, the outcome of today's meeting would have been hard to predict."

Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "You're welcome. The company's crisis is my crisis too. We are a team and should face it together."

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unspoken understanding.

However, they all knew that releasing the documents was only the first step; the real challenge lay in the competitors' counterattack. Could Fan Shengmei's return help Meng Yanchen persuade the remaining executives? What kind of furious retaliation would the competitors launch after the documents were released? Everything remained to be seen…
