Chapter 317 Power Game: Xiao Yue Breaks Through and Moves Forward
Xiao Yue returned to the office and the door behind him was gently closed, blocking out the complicated and tiring gazes in the conference room.
She buried herself in the pile of folders, took a deep breath, and her nose was filled with the unique scent of ink on paper.
The sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting tiny shadows on her long eyelashes, highlighting the determination in her eyes.
The densely packed text on the document seemed to transform into clear pictures in her eyes. She pondered over it over and over again, her fingertips sliding across the cold paper, making a slight friction sound.
She needs to make sure every detail is perfect and she doesn't allow herself to miss anything.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the office was so quiet that it seemed isolated from the world.
Only the rustling sound of the pen tip sliding across the paper and her occasional sighs prove the passage of time.
She tried to find the optimal solution from the complex data to ensure that every distribution of power was fair and just, leaving no one with any handle.
She knew that she was walking on a thorny road and had to be careful with every step.
However, just when Xiao Yue devoted himself to his work, a rumor spread rapidly within the company like a plague.
Some people say that Xiao Yue favored his own confidants in the new power distribution plan and placed many people with personal connections in the system.
The news spread like wildfire, and people were in a panic. Employees began to whisper to each other, and some even expressed their dissatisfaction directly.
When Secretary Chen hurriedly reported these rumors to Xiao Yue, the pen in her hand suddenly stopped, leaving an ink dot on the white paper, like a falling teardrop, extremely dazzling.
She gripped the pen tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force.
An inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of my heart
She raised her head and looked at Secretary Chen with a cold gaze, her voice carrying a hint of chill: "Where did this rumor come from?" Secretary Chen shuddered slightly and answered cautiously: "It's spreading throughout the company now, and the specific source... has not been investigated yet."
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down. She must not lose her composure.
She put down the pen and tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, making a rhythmic tapping sound that was particularly clear in the quiet office.
"Go and check it out. You must find out everything." She said firmly, "She will never allow anyone to ruin her plan.
She wanted them to understand that if they dared to challenge her authority, they would have to pay the price.
She stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window was a bustling city with tall buildings standing side by side and traffic flowing endlessly, but at the moment all this had nothing to do with her.
She stared out the window with a deep gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.
She turned around, and just as she was about to take action, there was a knock on the office door. A familiar yet sarcastic voice came from the door, "Boss Xiao, I want to talk to you about something."
Xiao Yue took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner anger, turned around and walked towards the door.
She frowned slightly, with a lukewarm smile on her face, and opened the door to invite in cousin Xiao.
There was a look of concern on my cousin's face, but her eyes revealed a subtle hint of gloating.
"Cousin, what's the matter?" Xiao Yue's tone was calm, but there was a barely perceptible coldness in her voice.
Cousin Xiao walked into the office and closed the door carefully. Then the smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold expression.
"Cousin, you must be aware of the recent situation in the company, right? Many people have complaints about your power distribution plan, and some even suspect that you want to take the opportunity to consolidate your position." There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, and every word seemed to sting Xiao Yue's ears.
Xiao Yue's eyes turned cold, and he already had some guesses in his mind.
She turned back to her desk, picked up the folder on the table and looked through the contents, but her eyes were not really on the documents. She was thinking about how to deal with this sudden storm.
"I know," Xiao Yue said softly, without a trace of panic in her tone, "I will investigate this and find out who is behind this."
Cousin Xiao sneered, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes: "Do you think you can find out? People in the company are not very friendly to you now. Even if you find out, how many people will believe you?"
Xiao Yue clenched the folder in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force, but her face remained calm: "I will find the truth, cousin, you don't have to worry too much."
After cousin Xiao left, Xiao Yue immediately summoned Secretary Chen and asked him in detail about the spread path and source of the rumor.
Secretary Chen quickly compiled a detailed report that listed the names of several key figures, including Uncle Xiao and several family members who had been won over by him.
Xiao Yue looked at the list and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
Those relatives who once trusted and supported her have now become her enemies.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the office, as if the air had become heavy.
She took a deep breath, her eyes determined, and decided to take action.
That afternoon, Xiao Yue held an emergency family meeting and exposed the originator of the rumor in public.
She used detailed evidence and calm analysis to expose Uncle Xiao's conspiracy one by one.
Those family members who were lured away were shocked by the facts and began to realize that they were being used.
Xiao Yue's prestige in the family quickly recovered, and the real struggle had just begun.
She looked out the window. Night had fallen and the city lights were dim.
Complex thoughts surged in her mind, but her eyes remained firm.
After the meeting, she returned to the office, and the moment the door closed, her cell phone rang.
The screen lit up, showing that the caller was Shen Ting.
Her finger slid lightly across the screen and answered the call.
"Yueyue, there is a private dinner tonight. I will take you there. Please get ready." Shen Ting's voice was low and gentle, instantly dispelling the haze in her heart.
She smiled slightly, held the phone tightly, and felt a rare warmth in her heart.
The light from the crystal chandelier poured down, illuminating the banquet hall like daylight.
Amidst the elegant clothes and beautiful women, Xiao Yue held Shen Ting's arm, feeling the warmth from his palm, and her heart was at peace.
The melodious sound of violins flows in the air, the rich aroma of champagne lingers on the nose, and the exquisite snacks sparkle with an alluring luster on the silver plate.
Shen Ting considerately served Xiao Yue the dishes and asked her in a low voice about her preferences.
His eyes were as gentle as water, as if they could melt people.
Xiao Yue looked at him, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
As the glasses were clinking, Shen Ting skillfully blocked several toasts for Xiao Yue. His every move showed his care for her, making Xiao Yue feel completely safe.
After the dinner, Shen Ting held Xiao Yue's hand and strolled in the moonlight.
"Are you tired today?" he asked softly, his tone full of heartache.
Xiao Yue shook her head gently, snuggled up to him, and felt his warmth.
"With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
After returning to the company, Xiao Yue did not punish the family members who were won over by Uncle Xiao, but invited them to participate in the discussion of the power distribution plan.
This move was beyond everyone's expectations and won their respect.
Uncle Xiao and Cousin Xiao sat in the corner with gloomy faces.
Xiao Yue's actions completely disrupted their plans. They originally thought that Xiao Yue would take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and consolidate her power, but unexpectedly she chose to unite everyone.
"What does she want to do?" Cousin Xiao asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
Uncle Xiao narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his gaze.
"Don't worry, the fun is yet to come."
It was late at night and the lights in Uncle Xiao's study were dim.
He sat on a chair with a document in his hand, which was Xiao Yue's power distribution plan.
He looked through it carefully, his brows furrowed.
Suddenly, he sneered and threw the documents on the table.
"If you want to fight me, you're still a little naive!" He picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, it's me..."
At the same time, Xiao Yue also returned to his office.
She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night view of the city, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
She knew that this power game had just begun and the road ahead was long and full of challenges.
But she was not afraid because she knew that she had the support of Shen Ting and the family members who trusted her.
The next morning, Xiao Yue walked into the family meeting room and placed the final power distribution plan on the table.
"Everyone," she looked around at everyone with a firm tone, "This is my final decision..." Before she finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure hurried in and whispered a few words in Xiao Yue's ear.
Xiao Yue's expression suddenly changed...
