Secretary Chen strode closer. "President Liu, they've begun their operation." Liu Lu's expression remained calm, but her eyes were sharp as knives. "As expected." Just as anticipated, a deluge of negative news swept in, and maliciously fabricated rumors spread like a virus, directly targeting the core business of Liu Lu's group.
Customers kept calling with questions, collaborative projects were put on hold, and the stock price began to fluctuate wildly.
Liu Lu remained calm and composed, directing her team to deal with the crisis.
"Attorney Wu, prepare a lawyer's letter and file a lawsuit against all media outlets spreading rumors." Her tone was firm and left no room for argument.
"Secretary Chen, contact Chairman Zhao and General Manager Qian. We need the support of our allies."
The atmosphere within the group was tense yet orderly.
Professor Sun and his team of experts worked day and night to analyze market dynamics and find a breakthrough.
"President Liu, we've discovered our opponent's weakness..." Professor Sun pointed to the data on the screen, his tone tinged with excitement.
Liu Lu made a decisive decision: "Execute Plan B immediately!"
Almost simultaneously, several authoritative media outlets suddenly released bombshell news, revealing the mastermind behind the spread of rumors—a larger company that was eyeing Liu Lu's group.
These news reports exposed the company's long-standing business scandals, involving multiple illegal activities such as unfair competition and tax evasion.
The incident caused an uproar, and the stock prices of larger companies plummeted, plunging them into an unprecedented public relations crisis.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Lu Group issued a public statement to clarify the facts and filed a lawsuit against those who maliciously defamed them.
This crisis not only failed to destroy Liu Lu Group, but instead enhanced its reputation and won the trust of more customers.
With the crisis averted, Liu Lu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city's night view.
Secretary Chen walked over and said softly, "President Liu, they... won't let this go." Liu Lu's lips curled into a cold smile. "I know." She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Hello, activate Plan C..." Secretary Chen's worries were not unfounded.
Larger companies, having suffered losses in silence, are unlikely to let the matter rest.
They quickly found a new target – raw materials.
Almost overnight, Liu Lu Group's raw material supply chain was cut off.
Several long-term suppliers suddenly reneged on their contracts and unilaterally terminated them for all sorts of reasons, but ultimately, they all pointed to the same mastermind behind the scenes.
The atmosphere within the group suddenly became tense.
News of raw material shortages spread like wildfire, causing widespread panic.
Department heads gathered in the conference room, each offering their opinions, but none could come up with an effective solution.
The production manager looked worried: "If this continues, the production line will have to stop!" The sales manager was equally overwhelmed: "Customer orders are piling up, but we have nothing to deliver!"
Liu Lu sat in the main seat, listening to everyone's complaints, her brows furrowed.
She understood that this blockade of raw materials was more dangerous than the previous public opinion crisis.
Just then, the office door was gently pushed open, and a small figure peeked in.
It was Liu Bei. She carefully placed a steaming bowl of soup on Liu Lu's table and then quietly left.
Liu Lu picked up the soup spoon, and a familiar aroma wafted towards her; it was her favorite chicken soup.
Next to the soup bowl was a small folded note with four words scrawled on it: "Go, Mom!"
A warm feeling washed over Liu Lu, and her fatigue vanished.
Looking at the childish handwriting on the note, she felt a surge of strength within her.
Her daughter's support is her greatest motivation.
After the meeting, Liu Lu sat alone in her office, holding the small piece of paper in her hand.
She knew she couldn't give up; she had to find a solution.
She picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Make arrangements for me, I need to personally visit a few raw material suppliers..." A slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the line: "President Liu, you're going in person?" Liu Lu's tone was firm and decisive: "Yes, now only I can handle it personally."
Liu Lu, dressed in a smart business suit, appeared at the entrances of several raw material supplier companies.
Initially, the suppliers were arrogant and refused to meet with them.
They had already been bought off by larger corporations at high prices and were determined to give Liu Lu's group a hard time.
"Mr. Liu, why waste your energy? You should go back." A supplier said dismissively, showing no respect for this business legend.
Instead of getting angry, Liu Lu smiled. She had expected to run into a wall, but she was not discouraged.
She took out a carefully prepared cooperation plan and handed it to the supplier, saying, "You might as well take a look at this first, and then make a decision."
In the proposal, Liu Lu elaborated on the group's future development plan and promised to offer suppliers more favorable cooperation conditions and profit sharing.
She reasoned with them and appealed to their emotions, showcasing the group's advantages and sincerity to the fullest extent.
Several suppliers were moved by Liu Lu's sincerity and courage and began to waver.
They realized that a long-term partnership with Liu Lu's group was more profitable than accepting bribes from larger companies in a one-off transaction.
Ultimately, thanks to Liu Lu's efforts, several key raw material suppliers agreed to resume supply, breaking the blockade meticulously planned by the larger company.
Once the supply of raw materials was stabilized, Liu Lu Group immediately launched a new product development plan.
Several innovative and high-quality products were quickly launched and, with their strong market competitiveness, quickly won the favor of consumers. Sales soared, directly seizing a portion of the market share from larger companies.
Larger corporations were thoroughly enraged by Liu Lu Group's counterattack, realizing that Liu Lu was a more formidable woman than they had imagined.
"It seems we must use every means to completely destroy her!" The chairman of the larger company said grimly, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
A larger business storm is brewing. Can Liu Lu Group once again turn the tide?
Late at night, Liu Lu's office was brightly lit.
She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance, clutching a document tightly in her hand.
"It seems the real show is just beginning..." she muttered to herself, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Liu Lu answered it, her face changing drastically. "What did you say?!"
