After communicating with his partners, Meng Yanchen finally found a key point for negotiation. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he immediately contacted the person in charge of the partner again to prepare for a new round of negotiations. Meanwhile, in the company, Fan Shengmei looked at the still somewhat sluggish stock price and the demoralized state of some employees, and secretly clenched her fists. She knew that there was still a tough battle ahead.
Meng Yanchen hurriedly returned to his office, closed the door, and the quiet inside contrasted sharply with the bustling office area outside. He sat behind his large desk, his brow furrowed, his eyes revealing determination and resolve. After several clashes with his partners, he knew that conventional negotiation methods would be insufficient to salvage the project; a different approach was needed.
Meng Yanchen realized he could no longer afford to be passive, so he decided to begin secretly planning. He picked up his phone, dialed a number, and whispered, "Old Chen, immediately gather evidence of [competitor company name]'s business misconduct. Be quick, and keep it absolutely confidential." A steady reply came from the other end of the line: "Mr. Meng, don't worry, I'll take care of it right away." Meng Yanchen hung up, leaned back in his chair, and quickly sorted out his next plan.
After arranging for his trusted confidants to investigate competitors, Meng Yanchen began contacting other partners one by one. He knew that stabilizing existing partnerships was crucial at this critical moment. When the call connected, Meng Yanchen adopted a gentle yet confident tone: "President Li, the company has recently encountered a minor issue, which I'm sure you've heard about. But rest assured, the Fu Group has the capability to handle it, and I hope our cooperation can continue smoothly as always." President Li on the other end of the line responded with a smile: "President Meng, of course I believe in the Fu Group's strength. As long as you can resolve the issue quickly, the cooperation will definitely be fine." Meng Yanchen thanked him repeatedly and then proceeded to contact the next partner.
Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei was busy moving around the Fu Group's office area. She could sense the low morale of the employees, like a gloom hanging over the entire company. She entered an office where several employees were huddled together, whispering amongst themselves. Upon seeing Fan Shengmei, they immediately fell silent. Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The company is actively working to solve the problems. This crisis is only temporary. Each of us is an important member of the company. As long as we work together, we will definitely overcome this difficulty." A young employee mustered his courage and asked, "Sister Fan, can we really do it? The stock price keeps falling, and the cooperative project has been canceled." Fan Shengmei patted him on the shoulder and said firmly, "Of course you can! President Meng is already trying to salvage the cooperative project. We also need to do our jobs well and contribute to the company." Hearing this, the employees nodded, a glimmer of hope rekindling in their eyes.
Fan Shengmei continued shuttling between departments, her voice gentle yet firm, constantly reassuring the employees. She knew that only when employees could work with peace of mind could the company function normally. During her discussions with department heads, she keenly noticed some potential problems, such as the impact of employee morale on the progress of some projects. Fan Shengmei immediately discussed solutions with the supervisors, adjusted work arrangements, and ensured that all tasks could proceed smoothly.
In his office, Meng Yanchen communicated with his business partners while simultaneously monitoring the investigation progress from his confidant. The confidant periodically sent in preliminary information; although no crucial evidence of wrongdoing had yet been found, some suspicious leads had emerged. Looking at the information on his computer screen, Meng Yanchen pondered that if these leads could be investigated further, they might be the key to breaking the deadlock.
Time slipped by quietly in the tense atmosphere. Meng Yanchen ended his call with an important partner, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his temples. Just then, Fan Shengmei gently knocked on the door and entered. "Yanchen, I have a basic understanding of the company's internal situation and have made some adjustments. The employees' morale has stabilized somewhat. How are things on your end? Any progress on the collaborative project?" Fan Shengmei asked with concern. Meng Yanchen looked up at Fan Shengmei and forced a smile: "There's been some progress; I'm working hard to secure it. You've been working hard." Fan Shengmei looked at Meng Yanchen's tired appearance and felt a pang of sympathy: "Don't overwork yourself. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know." Meng Yanchen hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell Fan Shengmei about his secret plan to gather evidence against competitors. He simply said, "Just continue to help me stabilize the company internally; I'll handle the rest."
Although Fan Shengmei sensed that Meng Yanchen seemed to be hiding something from her, she didn't ask further. She nodded and said, "Okay, then remember to tell me if there's anything new." After saying that, she turned and left the office to continue handling company affairs.
Watching Fan Shengmei's departing figure, Meng Yanchen felt a pang of guilt. However, he believed that the fewer people who knew about this, the better, lest word leak out and disrupt the entire plan. He threw himself back into his work, maintaining close contact with his confidants and directing the investigation to proceed more thoroughly.
As the investigation progressed, the information from his trusted aides became increasingly valuable. They discovered that competitors appeared to have engaged in unfair practices during the bidding process for some projects. Meng Yanchen looked at this information, a glint of excitement in his eyes. If these irregularities could be confirmed, it would not only deliver a fatal blow to the competitors but also give them a decisive advantage in negotiations with partners.
However, obtaining conclusive evidence was no easy task. Competitors seemed to have noticed as well and began to strengthen their defenses. Meng Yanchen had to remind his confidants to be even more cautious, while simultaneously devising ways to break through their defenses.
At the company, besides reassuring the employees, Fan Shengmei also discussed strategies to deal with the stock price decline with the marketing and public relations team. They developed a series of publicity plans, attempting to send a signal to the market that the Fu Group was developing steadily. Looking at the plans, Fan Shengmei silently prayed that these measures would take effect as soon as possible.
A busy day passed quickly. Night fell, the city lights flickered, and Meng Yanchen was still in his office, deep in thought, working on the research data on his computer. Fan Shengmei finished her work and came to Meng Yanchen's office again. She gently pushed open the door and saw Meng Yanchen still focused on his work, his desk piled high with documents. "Yanchen, it's so late, you haven't left work yet?" Fan Shengmei said softly. Meng Yanchen looked up, saw Fan Shengmei, and was somewhat surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?" Fan Shengmei smiled: "I was worried about you, so I came to check on you. Don't overwork yourself, your health is important." A warm feeling welled up in Meng Yanchen's heart. He stood up and walked to Fan Shengmei's side: "Shengmei, thank you. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease."
After a moment of eye contact, Fan Shengmei broke the silence: "Yanchen, are you hiding something from me? I can sense that you've been doing something very important lately, but you're unwilling to tell me." Meng Yanchen's heart tightened. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Shengmei, it might not be good to tell you some things now. I'll definitely tell you when the time is right. Trust me." Looking into Meng Yanchen's sincere eyes, Fan Shengmei nodded: "Okay, I trust you. But you also need to know that we face difficulties together, and we can share whatever comes our way."
Meng Yanchen looked at Fan Shengmei, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that his concealment from Fan Shengmei might cause her to misunderstand, but for the sake of the entire plan's smooth progress, he had no choice but to do so for the time being. After seeing Fan Shengmei off, Meng Yanchen returned to his desk and continued studying the investigation materials. He knew that time was of the essence and he had to find the key evidence as soon as possible.
Over the next few days, Meng Yanchen engaged in difficult negotiations with his partners while simultaneously monitoring the progress of the investigation into his confidant. Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei worked tirelessly within the company to maintain normal operations, stabilize employee morale, and push forward with the implementation of various countermeasures. Although the company's stock price continued to fluctuate, thanks to Fan Shengmei's efforts, the employees' work attitude gradually returned to normal.
However, Meng Yanchen's plan did not proceed smoothly. His confidants encountered numerous obstacles during the investigation, and some key witnesses suddenly changed their tune, refusing to provide relevant information. Meng Yanchen realized that his competitors might have noticed their actions and had begun to take measures to interfere with the investigation.
Meng Yanchen fell into deep thought. He needed to devise a new method to break through his competitor's defenses and obtain crucial evidence. Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei also noticed something unusual at the company. She noticed that Meng Yanchen had been frequently contacting mysterious people lately, and he seemed unusually cautious during each call. Fan Shengmei's suspicions deepened, and she decided to find an opportunity to find out what Meng Yanchen was hiding.
Will Meng Yanchen be able to successfully break through his competitors' defenses and collect crucial evidence? How will Fan Shengmei react after discovering Meng Yanchen's concealment? Everything is uncertain, and Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei are gradually moving towards a challenging future.
