Double evil in the business district

Chapter 238 Xiao Yue's Strategy: The Beginning of a Breakthrough

The lights in the hall suddenly lit up, and the darkness just now seemed to be just an illusion.

However, the haze in Xiao Yue's heart could not be dispelled.

In the following days, the predictions made on that phone call became reality.

Giant Li took action. He first cut off several important supply chains of Xiao's company, and then spread rumors in the industry that Xiao's capital chain was broken and it was about to go bankrupt.

For a time, Xiao's orders dropped sharply, partners avoided it, and Xiao's stock price plummeted.

Xiao Yue's desk was piled with documents. Her face was pale and her eyes were bloodshot, but she still forced herself to cheer up and hold an emergency meeting.

"Mr. Xiao, the current situation is not optimistic," Consultant Chen said in a heavy tone. "Big Li's influence is too great. We will definitely suffer if we confront him head-on. I suggest we scale back our business first, conserve our strength, and bide our time."

"Shrinking business?" Xiao Yue's voice was hoarse, but her eyes were resolute. "If we shrink, it will be seen as a sign of weakness, and then Big Li will only intensify his arrogance! We must take the initiative!"

"Take the initiative? How?" Employee Zhou's voice trembled. "We can't even supply raw materials now. How can we fight against Big Li?" His words were echoed by other employees, and the meeting room was filled with an atmosphere of anxiety and despair.

Xiao Yue looked around, his eyes sharp as a knife. "We, the Xiao family, have come this far not by luck, but by strength! I believe we can find a breakthrough!"

"Mr. Xiao, I know you're full of fighting spirit, but the business world is like a battlefield; we can't act on impulse!" Consultant Chen advised earnestly, "We must analyze the situation rationally. We have no chance of winning in this situation!"

"Chances of winning?" Xiao Yue sneered, walking to the French window and overlooking the bustling city. "Chances of winning are earned through fighting, not calculations!" She turned abruptly, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Advisor Chen, have you forgotten how we fought back?"

Consultant Chen was speechless for a moment. He remembered how Xiao Yue had turned the tide and created miracles time and time again when the Xiao family faced difficulties.

But this time, the opponent is Giant Li, whose strength far exceeds any previous one...

"I have a plan..." Xiao Yue's voice was low and powerful. She walked to the whiteboard, picked up a pen, and began to write and draw on it.

"This... this is too risky!" Consultant Chen's face changed drastically when he looked at the contents on the whiteboard.

Xiao Yue put down his pen, a confident smile on his face. "No venture, no gain!"

"But..." Consultant Chen wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Xiao Yue.

"No need to say more, it's settled!" Xiao Yue's eyes were firm and resolute, "I've made up my mind!"

Consultant Chen looked at Xiao Yue, took a deep breath, and finally said nothing.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Yue had already made his decision and any persuasion would be of no avail.

He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Xiao Yue would not lose this bet...

"Notify all department heads immediately and come to the conference room for a meeting in ten minutes!" Xiao Yue's voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the conference room.

She walked to the window, looked at the sky in the distance, and murmured to herself: "Big Li, the game has just begun..."

Xiao Yue's plan was bold and risky. She chose to cooperate with Feiyue Logistics, a little-known small company.

Although Feiyue Logistics is not large in scale, it has unique cold chain transportation channels that can directly reach some remote areas, which are exactly where Giant Li cannot reach.

Consultant Chen strongly opposed it, believing that Feiyue Logistics was too weak to meet Xiao's transportation needs, and that cooperating with such a small company would lower Xiao's brand image.

"Consultant Chen, you're too focused on appearances," Xiao Yue explained calmly. "Big Li is only blocking mainstream channels. The demand in these remote areas still exists, and the competition is even smaller. Feiyue Logistics may be small, but their cold chain technology is industry-leading and more than enough to meet our needs. As for our brand image, as long as we can get through this crisis, who will care who we've worked with in the past?"

Xiao Yue ignored the opposition and personally negotiated cooperation matters with the person in charge of Feiyue Logistics.

The courage and foresight she demonstrated deeply impressed Feiyue’s person in charge, and the two sides quickly reached a consensus.

Xiao's products were continuously shipped to markets neglected by giant Li through Feiyue Logistics, opening up new situations.

Xiao's employees saw a glimmer of hope, and their originally low morale began to pick up. They worked harder, hoping to overcome the difficulties together with Xiao Yue.

A few days later, the annual industry summit was held.

Giant Li was in high spirits, as if he was sure of victory.

He kept spreading rumors that were unfavorable to the Xiao family, and many of his colleagues were in awe of him and avoided the Xiao family.

Xiao Yue attended the summit alone. She was wearing a black business suit, looking capable and elegant.

Faced with the provocation of Li Jue, she remained neither humble nor arrogant and publicly responded to all the rumors.

She took out Xiao's latest financial data and new business plan, and used facts to prove that Xiao's capital chain was not broken and that it was actively expanding into new markets.

Xiao Yue's calmness and confidence made many of his peers start to re-examine the Xiao Group. They realized that perhaps the Xiao Group was not as vulnerable as Giant Li said.

Giant Li looked at Xiao Yue with a vicious look in his eyes. He didn't expect that Xiao Yue could find a new way out so quickly.

After the summit, Xiao Yue was surrounded by a group of reporters. She cleverly answered the reporters' questions, showing the image of the Xiao family actively responding to the crisis.

At this moment, a hand reached out from the crowd and gently took her hand...

After the meeting, Shen Ting quietly took Xiao Yue's hand. His big hand tightly wrapped around Xiao Yue's small hand, conveying endless support and love.

Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat, and a warm feeling surged into her heart, dispelling the fatigue and stress of the past few days.

She looked up at Shen Ting. His deep eyes were full of tenderness and determination, as if telling her: Don't be afraid, I am here.

As soon as analyst Wu's report came out, morale within Xiao's company was greatly boosted.

In the report, analyst Wu analyzed Xiao's new business plan in detail, believing that the plan is highly targeted, highly executed, and has a high success rate.

He even boldly predicted that Xiao would not only be able to survive this crisis, but also take this opportunity to further expand its market share.

The employees were jubilant and full of hope for the future, and the sense of despair that had previously permeated the company was swept away.

Employee Zhou was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He felt ashamed of his previous timidity, and at the same time he admired Xiao Yue's leadership ability even more.

Giant Li looked at the backs of Xiao Yue and Shen Ting as they left together, his face terribly gloomy.

Xiao Yue's counterattack was completely beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that by cutting off Xiao's supply chain and spreading rumors, he could easily defeat Xiao.

But he underestimated Xiao Yue's resilience and wisdom, and even more so, the tacit understanding and strength between her and Shen Ting.

"Hmph, do you think you win like this?" Giant Li sneered, "The game has just begun!" A sinister gleam flashed in his eyes, and a new conspiracy was brewing in his heart.

The next morning, Xiao Yue received a call from Consultant Chen.

"Mr. Xiao, something happened! Several of our core technical personnel have submitted their resignations!" Consultant Chen's voice was anxious and flustered.

"What?" Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"What reason did they give?" "They said it was... they said it was personal reasons." Consultant Chen's tone was hesitant, as if he had something to hide.

"Personal reasons?" Xiao Yue sneered, "I'm afraid it's not that simple?" She hung up the phone and immediately called a meeting of the company's top executives.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and everyone felt the oppressive feeling of impending storm.

Xiao Yue sat in the main seat with a calm expression, but her clenched fists revealed the turmoil in her heart.

"It seems that Giant Li is planning to start with our talents." Xiao Yue's voice was low and powerful.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and the secretary walked in panicked and whispered something in her ear.

Xiao Yue's face turned ashen in an instant.

She stood up suddenly, her eyes blazing. "Big Li, you're really good at this!" She picked up her coat and strode out of the meeting room, leaving behind only one cold order: "Prepare the car, go to Brilliant Group!"

In the office of Giant Li of the Brilliant Group, he was sipping red wine with a proud look on his face.

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, you are still too naive after all." He shook the wine glass in his hand, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I want to see if you can turn the tide this time!"

There was a knock on the door, and Li Jue's secretary walked in. "Mr. Li, Miss Xiao is here." Li Jue was slightly stunned, then sneered, "Let her in."

Xiao Yue pushed the door open and walked in, staring at Li Jue with cold eyes, "Boss Li, we meet again."
