Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei were reviewing their jointly formulated counterattack plan, preparing to divide the tasks. Suddenly, Meng Yanchen's phone rang urgently. His expression changed, and he answered the call. His assistant's anxious voice came from the other end: "Mr. Meng, something terrible has happened! Our counterattack plan seems to have been leaked, and our competitor has already started making moves!" Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and gravity. A new crisis had descended without warning.
Meng Yanchen quickly hung up the phone, strode to the window, his brow furrowed, his eyes revealing a hint of anger and confusion. Fan Shengmei followed closely behind, her heart filled with mixed emotions; the confidence she had just built up was instantly shattered.
"How could this happen? We were so careful." Fan Shengmei bit her lip, her voice filled with resentment.
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "It seems there may be other moles within the company. We need to re-examine the personnel relationships."
At that moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Meng Yanchen's secretary rushed in, holding a stack of documents in her hand, looking flustered. "Mr. Meng, this is the news we just received. Our competitor has changed its strategy. They seem to know everything about our plans and have begun to attack us from multiple angles."
Meng Yanchen took the document and quickly flipped through it, his face growing increasingly grim. Fan Shengmei leaned over for a glance and saw that the document detailed the competitor's new moves, including the grab for market share, smear campaigns, and technical interference.
"They moved so quickly, it seems they came prepared," Fan Shengmei said, frowning.
Meng Yanchen tossed the documents onto the table, turned, walked to his desk, sat down, crossed his hands under his chin, and fell into deep thought. Fan Shengmei also sat down beside him, trying to calm herself down and think of a solution.
"Let's stabilize our position first. Our top priority is to withstand their attack and find the traitor as soon as possible," Meng Yanchen broke the silence.
Fan Shengmei nodded in agreement, "I can conduct an investigation within the company, starting with the people involved in the plan, to see if we can find any clues."
Meng Yanchen frowned slightly. "This is too risky and could alert the enemy. We need to think of a safer approach."
A brief silence fell between the two, and a tense atmosphere filled the office. Suddenly, Meng Yanchen's eyes lit up. "We can release some false information and see who makes any unusual moves."
Fan Shengmei's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. Let's say we're planning to abandon a certain project and see if our competitors will take advantage of the situation. If someone tipes us off, the mole will likely be exposed."
Meng Yanchen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. "Okay, let's do it that way. Go and arrange for the relevant personnel to release the news, and make sure it looks as realistic as possible."
Fan Shengmei immediately stood up and said, "I'll take care of it right away."
After Fan Shengmei left the office, Meng Yanchen began to deal with the attacks from rival companies. He convened a meeting with the heads of various departments, quickly adjusted the company's strategy, strengthened marketing efforts, responded positively to public criticism, and increased investment in technological research and development to resist technological interference.
After the meeting, Meng Yanchen returned to his office and sat wearily in his chair. He rubbed his temples, pondering to himself, "Who is behind this? This mole is too well hidden; the previous investigations hadn't uncovered a single clue."
Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei returned to her office and began meticulously planning how to spread the false information. She gathered several reliable subordinates, gave them detailed instructions, and asked them to subtly reveal the false information within the company and carefully observe the reactions of those around them.
Her subordinates obeyed and left. Fan Shengmei sat at her desk, silently praying that the plan would be implemented smoothly. She knew that finding the mole was the key to resolving the current crisis; otherwise, the Fu Group would fall into an even more passive situation.
Time slipped by in a tense atmosphere. A day passed without anything unusual happening. Fan Shengmei grew anxious. Had the plan failed? Or was the mole too cautious and failed to take the bait?
Just as Fan Shengmei was feeling somewhat frustrated, her phone suddenly rang. It was one of her subordinates calling, who excitedly said on the other end of the line, "Sister Fan, we've discovered that Accountant Liu in the finance department is acting strangely. Ever since we released the false information, he's been frequently contacting a mysterious number."
Fan Shengmei was secretly delighted. "Good, keep an eye on him and see what else he does. At the same time, try to find out who owns that mysterious number."
After hanging up the phone, Fan Shengmei immediately told Meng Yanchen the news. Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Meng Yanchen's eyes. "It seems that this Accountant Liu is highly suspicious. Don't act rashly. Wait until you have solid evidence before taking action."
Fan Shengmei nodded to indicate that she understood, "I will continue to have my subordinates follow up on the investigation and try to find evidence as soon as possible."
However, the attacks from rival companies did not lessen despite the Fu Group's response; on the contrary, they intensified. Market share continued to erode, and the stock price fluctuated slightly. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei were under immense pressure, knowing full well that time was running out for them.
Over the next few days, Fan Shengmei's subordinates conducted a painstaking investigation and finally found the owner of the mysterious number. It turned out that the number belonged to a high-ranking executive at a competitor company. When Fan Shengmei told Meng Yanchen this news, Meng Yanchen's expression turned extremely grim.
“It seems this Accountant Liu is the mole. We can make our move now,” Meng Yanchen said coldly.
Fan Shengmei hesitated, "But this alone is not enough to prove that he leaked our counterattack plan. We need to find more direct evidence."
Meng Yanchen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "You're right, we can't alert them. Continue the investigation and see if we can find his communication records with the competitor regarding the counterattack plan."
Fan Shengmei accepted the order once again. She knew that this last piece of evidence was crucial. Once found, the traitor could be brought to justice, and the situation could be salvaged for the Fu Group.
As the investigation deepens, Fan Shengmei and her subordinates gradually get closer to the truth. However, rival companies seem to have also noticed the Fu Group's actions, and their attacks become more frenzied, attempting to deliver a fatal blow before the Fu Group can uncover the mole.
Meng Yanchen was running around the company, directing various departments to deal with the attack. His face was etched with exhaustion, but his eyes remained resolute. Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei was secretly intensifying her investigation, leaving no detail overlooked.
Finally, late one night, Fan Shengmei's subordinates brought good news. They found conclusive evidence on Accountant Liu's office computer regarding his counterattack plan with a competitor.
Fan Shengmei immediately told Meng Yanchen the news. Upon hearing it, a hint of relief flashed in Meng Yanchen's eyes. "Good, immediately notify security to take Liu the accountant into custody. We absolutely cannot let him escape."
Fan Shengmei and the security guards rushed to Accountant Liu's office and arrested him on the spot. When Accountant Liu saw Fan Shengmei and the security guards, his face turned pale instantly, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Accountant Liu, what else do you have to say?" Fan Shengmei looked at him coldly.
Accountant Liu lowered her head and stammered, "I...I was confused for a moment and was tempted by their money."
Meng Yanchen arrived shortly afterward, looking at Accountant Liu with disgust in his eyes, "You betrayed the company for a little money. You will pay the price for your actions."
Just when everyone thought the crisis was about to pass, Meng Yanchen's phone rang again. His assistant's anxious voice came from the other end: "Mr. Meng, something bad has happened! Our competitor has made a new move. They seem to have figured out our new strategy. What should we do?"
Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding rising within them. Could it be that besides Accountant Liu, there was another mole within the company?
After hanging up the phone, Meng Yanchen said to Fan Shengmei with a serious expression, "It seems things are not so simple. We cannot let our guard down."
Fan Shengmei took a deep breath. "No matter how many traitors there are, we must find them. We cannot let the Fu Group be destroyed in their hands."
In the dimly lit corridor outside the office, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei stood with resolute eyes. They knew the battle was far from over, and even greater challenges awaited them. The traitor lurking in the shadows was like a ticking time bomb, threatening to bring an even greater crisis to the Fu Group at any moment.
Who leaked the plan? Can the Fu Group withstand a new attack from its competitors? Everything remains to be seen…
