The office door was gently pushed open, and Liu Lu looked up alertly, only to see her daughter Liu Bei standing in the doorway, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Mommy, why aren't you home yet?" The little girl's soft voice instantly eased the tense atmosphere in the office.
Liu Lu smiled apologetically and hugged her daughter. "Mommy will be done soon. Baby, go and rest for a while, okay?" Liu Bei nodded obediently, but then, as if remembering something, she took out a crumpled drawing from her pocket and handed it to Liu Lu. "Mommy, this is a drawing of you. It's for you!"
In the painting, a "superwoman" in a suit stands majestically in front of a skyscraper, with the words "My dearest mom" written crookedly next to her.
Liu Lu felt a warmth in her heart and hugged her daughter tightly.
Just then, the landline on the table suddenly rang, breaking the warm atmosphere.
It was the receptionist calling: "Mr. Liu, Reporter Zhou is here. He says he'd like to interview you about recent industry trends."
Reporter Zhou is known for her keen sense of smell and sharp questions, and Liu Lu knew that her purpose for this trip was definitely not simple.
She quickly composed herself, had the receptionist take Reporter Zhou to the meeting room, and then quickly organized her documents, quietly locking the modified technical document into a drawer.
Faced with a barrage of questions from reporter Zhou, Liu Lu responded calmly and flawlessly.
She skillfully steered the conversation toward the group's future development strategy, avoiding the sensitive issue of the leaked confidential documents.
"Reporter Zhou, our group has always been committed to technological innovation and sustainable development. We will not respond to any false rumors." Liu Lu said firmly, her eyes revealing unwavering confidence.
Reporter Zhou was clearly not satisfied with this answer, and she pressed on, asking, "Mr. Liu, could you please give a direct response to the rumors about the leakage of core technology?" Liu Lu smiled slightly, "Business competition is inevitable, and we believe that the law will give a fair judgment."
After the interview, Liu Lu returned to her office with a furrowed brow.
The appearance of reporter Zhou made her even more convinced that there were indeed problems within the company.
She picked up the phone and dialed Director Ma's number: "Director Ma, we need to convene a board meeting as soon as possible..." On the other end of the line, Director Ma's voice hesitated slightly: "President Liu, I'm afraid now..."
Liu Lu hung up the phone, her brows furrowed.
Director Ma's hesitation made her feel uneasy.
Instead of conducting a large-scale internal investigation, it's better to strike first and confuse the opponent.
She immediately contacted Professor Li, a renowned expert in the industry, who had already been hired as a special advisor to the group.
“Professor Li, we need to conduct a comprehensive upgrade of the group’s cybersecurity system, the sooner the better.” Liu Lu’s tone was firm and left no room for argument.
Professor Li didn't ask any further questions and immediately began making arrangements.
In less than a week, the group's network security system was upgraded, the firewall became more robust, the data encryption became more stringent, and any attempt to intrude will be detected immediately.
At the same time, Liu Lu deliberately released some false information, implying that the group was developing a new core technology, in order to confuse competitors and make them mistakenly believe that they had the upper hand.
A few days later, Liu Bei ran home excitedly, waving a certificate of merit in her hand.
"Mom, I won first prize!" The little girl's eyes sparkled with pride.
Liu Lu accepted the certificate, which read "First Prize in Essay Competition".
It turns out that Liu Bei wrote an article about her mother in the school's essay competition, which moved the judges and ultimately won her first place.
"My baby is so wonderful!" Liu Lu hugged her daughter tightly, her heart filled with joy and emotion.
Her daughter's essay made her realize how great she was in her daughter's eyes, and that she had to work harder to become her daughter's role model.
That evening, Liu Lu unusually went home early to have dinner and play games with her daughter.
The laughter of the mother and daughter echoed in the room, warm and sweet.
However, beneath the calm surface, undercurrents are surging.
Director Ma called Liu Lu late at night, his tone grave: "President Liu, I've discovered..."
Director Ma lowered his voice and said, "President Liu, I've noticed that Xiao Wang from the marketing department has been getting very close to people from Zhang's group lately. I suspect..." Liu Lu's heart skipped a beat. Zhang was her biggest competitor. Could there really be a mole within the company?
She suppressed her anger and calmly said to Director Ma, "Director Ma, I understand about this matter. I will handle it. Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Lu did not take immediate action, but instead fell into deep thought.
If we rashly expose Xiao Wang, we might alert him.
She needs a foolproof plan that can both expose the mole and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
A bold plan gradually took shape in her mind.
The next day, Liu Lu quietly placed a "confidential document" on Xiao Wang's desk. The document contained the very false information she had deliberately released—the new core technology that the group was developing.
As expected, that very evening, Xiao Wang secretly handed the "confidential document" to Boss Zhang's men.
Overjoyed upon receiving this "confidential document," General Manager Zhang immediately convened a meeting of the company's senior management and decided to concentrate their efforts on developing a solution to counter Liu Lu's Group's new technology.
He invested a great deal of money and manpower, even at the cost of suspending the research and development of other projects.
And all of this was under Liu Lu's control.
She had long anticipated that Mr. Zhang would make the wrong decision based on this false information.
While Zhang Zong's group was fully committed to research and development, Liu Lu's group quietly applied the real core technologies to the new products and quickly launched them to the market.
The new product caused a huge sensation as soon as it was launched, and quickly captured market share with its advanced technology and superior performance.
Meanwhile, Zhang's group was still struggling to catch up with Liu Lu's group's "fake technology," and by the time they realized it, it was too late.
The Zhang Group's cash flow dried up, its stock price plummeted, and it fell into an unprecedented crisis.
Liu Lu seized the opportunity and decisively acquired part of Zhang Zong's group's business, further expanding the group's scale.
Liu Lu won this battle brilliantly.
She not only completely thwarted the competitors' plot, but also consolidated the group's position in the industry.
However, this was just the beginning...
Late at night, Liu Lu's phone vibrated, and an anonymous text message appeared on the screen: "You think you've won? The game has only just begun..." Liu Lu's lips curled up slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
The rise of Liu Lu Group was like a hurricane, quickly sweeping across the entire industry.
The competitors were routed, and the doubts and ridicule of the past have now turned into awe and admiration.
At the industry summit, Liu Lu, dressed in an elegant gown, accepted the weighty "Lifetime Achievement Award" trophy from the award presenter.
Under the spotlight, she was elegant and composed, like a queen being crowned.
Flashes of light continued to capture the glorious moment of this legendary woman.
At the celebration banquet, toasts were exchanged and praises were endless.
Director Ma excitedly shook Liu Lu's hand, "President Liu, you are truly remarkable! Our group is now the undisputed leader in the industry!" Liu Lu raised her glass and smiled slightly, "This is just the beginning, and there is still a long road ahead."
Amid the lively atmosphere, Liu Lu seemed somewhat absent-minded.
She gazed at the dazzling night view outside the window, her thoughts drifting far away.
Success is certainly gratifying, but she knows all too well that in this rapidly changing era, the slightest slackening will lead to being eliminated.
She must remain vigilant at all times to remain invincible.
Professor Li walked to her side and said softly, "Ms. Liu, what are you thinking about?" Liu Lu turned her gaze to the wise scholar. "I'm thinking about what the future industry landscape will look like? How should we respond?"
Professor Li pondered for a moment, "Technology is advancing rapidly, and future industry competition will be even more intense. We must plan ahead." Liu Lu nodded, "I feel the same way. A new force is brewing, and we must be prepared."
A few days later, Liu Lu convened a meeting of the group's senior management.
She stood in the center of the conference room, her gaze sweeping firmly over everyone. "Ladies and gentlemen, although we have achieved some success, it does not mean we can rest on our laurels. New challenges are approaching, and we must..." Before she could finish speaking, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and her secretary rushed in, whispering a few words in Liu Lu's ear.
Liu Lu's expression changed drastically, and she stood up abruptly. "What?!"
