Double evil in the business district

Chapter 251 Xiao Yue's Progress: Breaking Through the Competition

Xiao Yue held the phone with a serious expression.

The other party had bad intentions, and the threatening phone call hung like a dark cloud over her heart.

As expected, the next day, a flood of negative news swept in, directly targeting Xiao's company's product quality and after-sales service.

The carefully planned malicious smear campaign quickly fermented on the Internet, and Xiao's reputation suffered another severe blow.

Partners called one after another, their tone was hesitant, and their intention to cooperate was shaky.

Xiao Yue was extremely anxious. She knew that if the situation could not be controlled in time, the Xiao family would face a devastating disaster.

Manager Wang hid in the dark, smiling sinisterly.

He was the man behind the rumors. As the project manager of the rival Hengyuan Group, he was well aware of the threat that the rise of the Xiao family posed to Hengyuan.

In order to suppress the Xiao family, he did everything he could.

He bribed Xiao's accountant Liu and secretary Chen to obtain Xiao's business secrets from the inside, and used this information to create public opinion unfavorable to Xiao.

Banker Sun, having believed the false information provided by Manager Wang, also became hesitant about Xiao's loan application.

Xiao Yue did not panic. She quickly called a team meeting to discuss response strategies.

After a calm analysis, she decided to take the initiative to find the source of the rumors and bring them to justice.

She thought of the mysterious Detective Li that Shen Ting had mentioned.

After calling Shen Ting and briefly explaining the situation, Shen Ting immediately arranged for Detective Li to meet with Xiao Yue.

Detective Li is thin, with sharp eyes and an unpredictable temperament.

He said succinctly: "Mr. Xiao, tell me everything you know."

Xiao Yue recounted the whole story in detail, including the situation of competitors and possible insiders within the company.

After listening to this, Detective Li nodded and said only one sentence: "Give me three days."

Three days later, Detective Li brought the investigation results and placed a thick document in front of Xiao Yue.

It contains detailed records of how Manager Wang manipulated public opinion and spread rumors, as well as evidence of how Accountant Liu and Secretary Chen colluded to provide intelligence to Manager Wang. There is even evidence of Manager Wang and other senior executives of Hengyuan Group conspiring to engage in business violations.

Xiao Yue looked at the information, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Shen Ting..." Xiao Yue dialed Shen Ting's number. Before she could finish, Shen Ting's low voice came, "I already know. See you at 7 o'clock tonight at the usual place."

The dim light shines on the dining table, reflecting the crystal clear wine glass. The red wine in the glass sways, exuding an intoxicating aroma.

Shen Ting carefully prepared this romantic dinner for Xiao Yue. The exquisite dishes and soothing music all reflected his intentions.

He looked at Xiao Yue affectionately, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to melt her.

"Yueyue, I know you've been very busy lately. Relax for a while. I'll take care of everything."

Xiao Yue smiled gently in response. Shen Ting's thoughtfulness made her feel warm.

After the meal, Xiao Yue's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

However, she couldn't let go of the company's affairs. After the sweet time, she handed Detective Li's investigation results to Shen Ting.

Shen Ting quickly glanced through it and his face darkened.

The next day, Xiao Yue took the evidence and met with the head of Hengyuan Group.

At the negotiation table, Xiao Yue came straight to the point and put the evidence in front of the other party.

"Manager Wang, I think you should be familiar with these things, right?"

Manager Wang pretended to be calm as he picked up the documents and flipped through them. He then sneered, "Boss Xiao, I don't know what you're talking about. These things are so easy to forge, and you're using them to slander our Hengyuan Group?"

"Whether it is forged or not, I think the law will make the final decision." Xiao Yue said in a cold tone, refusing to give in.

Seeing Xiao Yue's tough attitude, Manager Wang rolled his eyes and changed his expression: "Boss Xiao, the business world is like a battlefield, competition is inevitable. Why are you being so aggressive? Why don't we both take a step back and cooperate for a win-win situation? Wouldn't that be better?"

"Cooperation? You use such despicable means to compete, and you are still qualified to talk about cooperation?" Xiao Yue's tone was full of disdain.

The two sides were deadlocked and the negotiations reached a deadlock.

Seeing that his persuasion was unreliable, Manager Wang resorted to rogue behavior, refusing to admit anything and even turning the tables, accusing Xiao of malicious competition.

Xiao Yue looked at the other man's shameless face, her heart burning with anger, but she tried to restrain herself. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Manager Wang, do you really think you can rest easy like this?" She picked up her phone and dialed a number...

"Hey, please help me contact the major media..."

The media outlets Xiao Yue contacted were some of the most influential in the business world.

She provided them with the evidence in her hands anonymously and hinted at more unknown inside stories of Hengyuan Group.

These media outlets, like sharks smelling blood, quickly launched investigations and made their findings public.

For a time, scandals of Hengyuan Group were everywhere, its stock price plummeted, and its partners terminated their contracts one after another. The once prosperous Hengyuan Group was instantly plunged into a quagmire.

At the same time, Xiao Yue was not carried away by victory.

She knows very well that a blacksmith must have strong tools himself, and if she wants to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive market, she must have excellent products and services.

She led her team to develop new products day and night, and finally, a highly competitive product came out.

This product not only has superior performance but also has an affordable price. Once launched, it quickly attracted a large number of customers. Xiao's enterprise's market share gradually expanded and its reputation also improved.

Manager Wang watched as the conspiracy he had planned was easily resolved by Xiao Yue, and watched Xiao's rise in the emerging market, feeling filled with resentment.

He hid in a dark corner, cursing Xiao Yue and Shen Ting with gritted teeth.

He was unwilling to fail like this, so he decided to take action again. He wanted to make Xiao Yue pay the price!

He secretly contacted a small employee in Xiao's company who he bribed with money, and promised to give him a large sum of money after the task was completed.

This clerk was usually responsible for data statistics and report preparation. He secretly modified some key data of the company and forged some false reports in an attempt to disrupt the normal operation of Xiao's company and pave the way for Manager Wang's next plan.

Everything seems calm in Xiao's enterprise, but undercurrents are surging.

Xiao Yue was checking the latest sales data in her office when she suddenly frowned, pointed at a number on the report, and asked her assistant, "What's going on with this data? It's very different from the previous report."

The assistant took a look and was also a little confused: "I'll go check it again."

It was late at night, and Xiao Yue was still busy in the office.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Suddenly, she remembered what Shen Ting once said: "Business is like a battlefield, never take it lightly."

She picked up her phone and called Shen Ting: "Shen Ting, I..."

"Yueyue, what's wrong?" Shen Ting's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I..." Xiao Yue hesitated, "I feel like something's wrong within the company..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Shen Ting's low voice came: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to check."

The next morning, Xiao Yue came to the company and found that the atmosphere was a little strange.

The employees were all whispering, as if something had happened.

As soon as she reached the office door, she heard a quarrel coming from inside...

"Why are you doing this?!"
