As Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei were talking, Fan Shengmei's phone suddenly vibrated. She quickly took out her phone to check, her expression changing slightly. "It's a message from Lin Yue. The shell company has made a move, sending someone to arrange another meeting to discuss the investment project in detail." Meng Yanchen's eyes sharpened instantly. "Finally, there's a reaction. It seems they've taken the bait. But this could also be a test; we need to be careful." The two exchanged a glance and immediately began discussing their next strategy, the atmosphere in the office becoming tense once again.
“Since Lin Yue has already met with them once, she should be more confident this time,” Fan Shengmei said thoughtfully, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table. “However, to make them completely believe this fake news, we need to provide Lin Yue with more details.” Meng Yanchen nodded in agreement. “That’s right, we need to refine the details of the investment in that emerging field to make it look flawless.”
At the secret location used to contact the shell company, Lin Yue sat in a secluded corner, waiting. The faint aroma of coffee filled the air, and soft music played, but Lin Yue had no time to enjoy it. Her gaze kept glancing towards the door, her heart filled with both tension and excitement. Finally, a man in a black suit entered. His sharp eyes quickly locked onto Lin Yue's location, and he walked straight towards her.
“Ms. Lin, I apologize for keeping you waiting,” the man said politely, a professional smile on his face, but a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. Lin Yue stood up and smiled in response, “It’s not late, I just arrived too.” The two sat down again, and the man got straight to the point, “Our company’s senior management is very interested in the investment project of the Fu Group that Ms. Lin mentioned last time, and hopes to learn more about the details.”
Lin Yue was secretly pleased, but maintained her composure on the surface. "Of course, this is more detailed information I've compiled." She took a document from her bag and handed it to the man. The man took the document and carefully read through it, his brow furrowing and relaxing intermittently. Lin Yue patiently explained, her voice clear and steady, answering fluently. After reading the document, the man pondered for a moment. "Ms. Lin, this information looks very detailed, but we need to verify it further." Lin Yue nodded. "I understand. After all, this is a major investment project; being cautious is appropriate."
Meanwhile, in Meng Yanchen's office, Fan Shengmei and Meng Yanchen were closely monitoring Lin Yue's meeting with the shell company personnel through the surveillance footage. Meng Yanchen stared intently at the screen, his eyes focused. "It seems they are indeed very cautious, but this also shows that they take this information very seriously." Fan Shengmei frowned slightly. "Now we'll see how they verify it. We need to prepare in advance."
After the meeting, Lin Yue immediately informed Fan Shengmei of the situation. Upon learning that the shell company was preparing to further verify the information, Fan Shengmei and Meng Yanchen decided to proceed with the original plan, having the Fu Group superficially make some business adjustments that matched the false information. Meng Yanchen quickly convened a meeting of department heads to convey the relevant instructions.
In the company's conference room, Meng Yanchen stood in front of the projector, his expression serious. "From now on, we need to make some adjustments to our external business, demonstrating our intention to invest in emerging fields. This is a crucial strategy for us to cope with the current crisis, and everyone must strictly implement it." Department heads nodded in agreement, but one department manager raised a question, "Mr. Meng, we all know the company's current core business focus. Won't such adjustments affect the company's normal development? Moreover, this emerging field is very risky; isn't it too risky for us to invest rashly?"
Meng Yanchen looked at the manager and patiently explained, "This is just a strategy to mislead our competitors. We won't actually invest on a large scale; it's just a gesture. Moreover, we have already assessed and prepared for potential risks." However, the manager still seemed to have doubts, and some other managers began to whisper among themselves, causing a small commotion in the conference room.
Seeing this, Fan Shengmei stood up. "Everyone, I understand your concerns. But the company is currently facing a huge crisis, and we must take some extraordinary measures. This strategy has been carefully considered, and as long as we execute it properly, it will not only not affect the company's development, but will also help us resolve the crisis." Although Fan Shengmei spoke eloquently, some people still had reservations about this adjustment, and small fluctuations gradually appeared within the company.
Over the next few days, the Fu Group began its planned business adjustments. While internal skepticism subsided somewhat, it didn't completely disappear. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei worked to calm the company's staff while closely monitoring the movements of the mysterious investment group and its competitors.
After receiving the detailed information from Lin Yue, the shell company quickly relayed the news to the mysterious investment group and a competitor. These two companies also began to analyze and verify the information in depth. They collected information through various channels about the Fu Group's plans to invest in emerging fields, attempting to determine the veracity of the news.
Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei knew that the opponent's investigation and verification was a crucial stage. If they could successfully navigate this stage and convince the opponent of the false information, then the counterattack plan would be halfway to success. However, if the opponent discovered the flaws, the Fu Group would face an even more dire situation.
During this tense wait, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei spent their days in the office analyzing various situations and discussing countermeasures. Meng Yanchen rubbed his tired temples. "I wonder how things are going on the other side. They're verifying the information slower than we expected." Fan Shengmei handed him a cup of coffee. "Maybe they're struggling with this too. After all, this news is so important to them. Let's wait patiently, and at the same time, continue to strengthen internal communication and coordination to stabilize morale."
As time went on, doubts about the business restructuring resurfaced within the company. Some employees began to worry about their jobs and the company's future, and their work efficiency was affected to some extent. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei realized that they had to take measures to quell the internal turmoil as soon as possible, otherwise it might affect the implementation of the entire counterattack plan.
Meng Yanchen decided to hold an all-staff meeting to personally explain the company's strategy and future plans. The company's large conference room was filled with employees, their faces showing doubt and worry. Meng Yanchen stood on the stage, looking at everyone with unwavering determination. "Colleagues," he said, "I know the recent business adjustments have caused some concerns. But I want to tell you that all of this is for the company's long-term development and to address the current crisis. Every decision we make is carefully considered and aimed at ensuring the Fu Group stands out in this competition."
Fan Shengmei added, "That's right, everyone may think this strategy is a bit risky, but we are confident that we can control every aspect. Moreover, the company will do its best to protect everyone's interests. We hope everyone can trust the company, trust our leadership team, and get through this difficult time together with the company."
Despite Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei's efforts to explain at the meeting, the employees' doubts were not completely dispelled. The atmosphere within the company remained somewhat oppressive, while the mysterious investment group and the competitor continued to verify the false information. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei could only anxiously wait, praying that their rivals would believe the false information, while trying to find a way to quell the turmoil within the company as soon as possible.
Will the competitors believe the fake news? How can the internal turmoil within the company be quelled? Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei are facing immense pressure, and the future remains fraught with uncertainty.
