Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of their office, looking down at the bustling street below. Meng Yanchen turned to Fan Shengmei, his eyes resolute: "The document is about to be released. Whatever the outcome, we'll face it together." Fan Shengmei nodded, her gaze equally firm. At that moment, Meng Yanchen's phone rang. It was his subordinate responsible for releasing the document. "Mr. Meng, everything is ready." Meng Yanchen took a deep breath. "Let's begin."
Putting down their phones, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei strode towards the company's conference room. Inside, a huge electronic screen was connected in real-time to major media platforms and financial information websites. The company's senior executives were already seated around it, their eyes glued to the screen, the atmosphere so tense it seemed like water could be squeezed out of them.
With the official release of the document on major platforms, the entire industry was instantly ablaze. On financial news feeds, reports of the competitor's misconduct quickly dominated the headlines. Commentators from various media outlets voiced their condemnation of the company's unfair business practices. Online, related topics rapidly climbed to the top of trending searches, with netizens engaging in a flood of discussions.
"Look, our competitor is finished this time!" The marketing manager pointed excitedly at the screen, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Yes, once these irregularities are confirmed, their credibility will completely collapse," the finance department manager couldn't help but sigh.
In the Fu Group's office area, employees stopped what they were doing and gathered around computer and television screens to watch this industry-shaking news. Some cheered, some applauded, and the entire office area was filled with joy.
The situation was completely different at the competitor's company. The atmosphere in the executive meeting room was oppressive. The chairman slammed the documents in his hand on the table, his eyes wide with fury: "What on earth happened? How did the Fu family get these documents?" Everyone exchanged glances, no one daring to utter a sound.
"The stock price has started to plummet!" The CFO pointed anxiously at the computer screen, his voice trembling. On the stock trading interface, the company's stock price had plummeted like a cliff, and its market value was rapidly evaporating.
"We must find a way to salvage the situation!" the chairman said through gritted teeth. "Hold a press conference immediately to deny these accusations and say that this is a malicious smear campaign by the Fu Group."
“But, Chairman, these documents are irrefutable evidence…” the general counsel cautiously reminded him.
"I don't care! Stabilize the situation first!" the chairman roared.
Meanwhile, at the Fu Group's headquarters, the stock price began to steadily recover. Inside the stock exchange hall, the Fu Group's trading area was bustling with activity. Traders were excitedly working, constantly receiving buy orders.
"Mr. Meng, our stock price has rebounded faster than expected, and market confidence in us is recovering rapidly," the investment manager excitedly reported to Meng Yanchen.
Meng Yanchen nodded slightly, a relieved smile on his face: "This is only the first step; we must not let our guard down."
Fan Shengmei looked at Meng Yanchen with admiration in her eyes: "You did the right thing. Now the company has finally turned around."
However, Meng Yanchen's smile quickly faded. He knew that his competitors would never admit defeat easily, and a counterattack could come at any time.
As expected, at an emergency press conference held by the competitor, the spokesperson insisted that the documents released by the Fu Group were forged and a despicable tactic used to suppress the competitor. Although most media and the public were skeptical, some loyal supporters of the competitor began to voice their support online.
"Mr. Meng, our competitors have started to fight back. They've held a press conference to deny the accusations and are also stirring up public opinion," the public relations manager rushed into the conference room to report.
Meng Yanchen frowned, and after a moment of thought, said, "Prepare a response immediately. Compile the legal means by which we obtained the documents and more detailed evidence, and make them public. At the same time, closely monitor public opinion and guide the public to view this matter rationally."
Fan Shengmei chimed in, "I think we can also mobilize our employees and partners to help us speak out and enhance our credibility."
Meng Yanchen nodded in agreement: "You're right, let's do it that way. We need to let the public know that we are exposing our competitors' violations in order to uphold fairness and justice in the industry."
While the Fu Group was busy dealing with the public opinion backlash, its rival companies were also plotting an even bigger conspiracy.
"Chairman, we can't just focus on public opinion. The Fu family has caused us heavy losses this time, we have to teach them a lesson," the marketing director said with a grim face.
"What are your thoughts?" The chairman raised his head, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
“We can unite with some other smaller companies that compete with the Fu family to launch a commercial attack on them. At the same time, we can bribe some hackers to attack the Fu family’s network system, keeping them preoccupied with their own problems,” the marketing director said in a low voice.
The chairman pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Do as you say. We must make sure the Fu family knows the consequences of offending us!"
At this moment, the employees of the Fu Group were still immersed in the joy of the temporary averting of the crisis, completely unaware that a greater crisis was quietly approaching. Although Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei were somewhat vigilant, they did not anticipate that their competitors' counterattack would be so ruthless.
Meng Yanchen stood by the office window, gazing into the distance, silently pondering a solution. Fan Shengmei walked to his side and asked softly, "What are you thinking about? Don't worry too much, we'll definitely get through this."
Meng Yanchen turned to look at Fan Shengmei, forcing a smile: "I was just thinking that our competitors will definitely not give up easily, so we need to be fully prepared."
Fan Shengmei held Meng Yanchen's hand, giving him strength: "Yes, no matter what, I will be by your side."
However, can the Fu Group truly withstand the impending furious counterattack from its competitors? What impact will the commercial siege and hacker attacks launched by competitors in conjunction with other companies have on the Fu Group? Everything remains to be seen. How will Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei lead the Fu Group to stabilize the situation in this storm and continue its glorious history?
