It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 162: Counterattack from Despair: Peak of Glory

The halo of the summit had not yet faded when Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan returned to their hotel room. The bubbles of champagne danced in the crystal glasses, reflecting the joy on their faces after surviving the disaster.

Luo Yichen took Wu Xinyan's hand, his deep eyes filled with tenderness: "Xinyan, we won."

Wu Xinyan returned the smile, as bright as a star.

This victory is not only a commercial success, but also a testament to their fighting side by side and their trust in each other.

However, this brief moment of tranquility was soon broken by a rapid ringing of the phone.

Luo Yichen answered the phone, his face suddenly changed, and the wine glass in his hand slipped and shattered on the ground. The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the silent room.

"…something happened."

"What happened?" Wu Xinyan's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

Luo Yichen took a deep breath and spoke in a heavy tone, "The company's internal problems are more serious than we imagined. It's not just a few documents that have been lost; it also involves core technical data and management loopholes for some key personnel. Chairman Wang has received the news and expressed his concerns about us."

Wu Xinyan's expression also became solemn.

Chairman Wang is the most important partner at this summit. If we lose his trust, all our previous efforts will be wasted.

The two immediately rushed back to the company and held an emergency meeting overnight.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. The heads of various departments had grim faces, and the situation reported was even worse than what Luo Yichen had heard on the phone.

Not only were the core technical data stolen, but several core members in charge of the project also suddenly resigned and disappeared.

"It's obvious that someone did this on purpose!" Wu Xinyan's tone was cold, and her eyes were like torches as she scanned everyone present.

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most urgent task is to find the lost information as soon as possible, fill the management loopholes, and stabilize Chairman Wang." Luo Yichen calmly analyzed the situation.

However, the company is not a monolithic entity.

Some employees questioned the way Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen handled the situation, believing they were too tough and did not fully consider the opinions of employees.

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, we understand the difficulties the company is facing now, but your one-size-fits-all approach will make everyone feel disheartened!" Marketing Manager Li Ming stood up with a dissatisfied tone.

"Yes, we work hard for the company, and now that something has gone wrong, we are asked to take responsibility. Is this fair?" Zhang Qiang, head of the technical department, also echoed.

The conference room was immediately filled with discussions, and the already tense situation became even more chaotic.

Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen looked at each other and saw helplessness and anxiety in each other's eyes.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the situation showed no sign of improving.

Luo Yichen rubbed his brows and said tiredly: "Today's meeting ends here..."

Suddenly, the office door was flung open, and the secretary ran in panicked, "Mr. Luo, Chairman Wang... Chairman Wang is here!"

Chairman Wang's face was ashen, and he was followed by several serious-looking lawyers.

He looked around at the messy scene in the conference room, his brows furrowed.

"Boss Luo, is this what you mean by 'everything is under control'?"

Luo Yichen stood up and said in a calm tone, "Chairman Wang, please believe that we are doing our best to deal with this matter."

"Handle it? I think you're just creating more chaos!" Chairman Wang angrily slammed a document on the table. "Look at this! Your core technology has been leaked, and now the entire industry knows about it! How can I believe you're still capable of completing this cooperation?"

The atmosphere in the conference room became even more solemn. The employees were all silent and didn't dare to make a sound.

Wu Xinyan walked up to Chairman Wang with a firm look in her eyes: "Chairman Wang, please give us some time. We will give you a satisfactory answer."

Chairman Wang snorted coldly, "Time? I've given you enough time! If I don't see any results by tomorrow morning, our cooperation will end!" After that, he turned and left, followed closely by the lawyers.

After Chairman Wang left, the conference room fell into dead silence.

Luo Yichen walked to Wu Xinyan, gently held her hand, and gave her silent support.

"Xinyan, I know you can do it." His words were steady and powerful, like a warm current flowing into Wu Xinyan's heart.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, her eyes burning. "Manager Li, Supervisor Zhang, please stay for a moment." She turned to look at the other department heads. "Everyone else, go back to work. Everything will proceed as planned."

After everyone left, Wu Xinyan closed the door of the conference room, turned to face Li Ming and Zhang Qiang, and said in a cold tone: "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

Li Ming and Zhang Qiang's faces changed drastically, their eyes flickered, and they didn't dare to look directly into Wu Xinyan's eyes.

Wu Xinyan sneered, walked to the projector and opened a document.

"This is an anonymous email I just received. It contains detailed records of your transactions with your competitor, General Manager Li, including the time, location, amount, and even screenshots of your chat history."

Li Ming and Zhang Qiang's faces turned pale in an instant. They knew that they were finished.

Wu Xinyan did not call the police, but handed the document to Luo Yichen.

"Yi Chen, I'll leave this matter to you."

Luo Yichen took the document, his eyes sharp: "I will make them pay the price they deserve."

Wu Xinyan reassembled the technical team, and with her extraordinary memory and deep understanding of the project, she reorganized the lost core technical information.

At the same time, she re-examined the company's internal processes, discovered loopholes in several key links, and quickly patched them.

The next morning, Chairman Wang came to the Roche Group again.

This time, his face was no longer ashen, but instead held a hint of surprise and admiration.

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, I didn't expect you to be able to solve the problem in such a short time."

Wu Xinyan handed over a new cooperation plan, "Chairman Wang, this is our revised plan, please review it."

Chairman Wang carefully read the plan and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. After answering the call, his expression became a little strange...

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, something seems to have happened at the summit."

Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan rushed back to the summit without stopping.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the originally noisy conference hall became weird, and the air was filled with a tense feeling of impending storm.

The appearance of Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Everyone cast inquiring glances at him, and whispers arose one after another.

Ignoring the strange atmosphere around them, Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen walked straight to the signing table.

Chairman Wang stood up first and shook hands tightly with Luo Yichen, with a sincere smile on his face: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, I admire your processing speed and efficiency! I believe that the cooperation between us will be very pleasant!" Other partners also stepped forward to express their confidence and expectations for the Luo Group.

Cooperation agreements were signed under the flashing lights, each one filled with success and glory.

General Manager Li stood in the corner, his face ashen and his fists clenched, watching Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan become the focus of the audience, his heart filled with jealousy and resentment.

As the summit came to an end, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan were invited to the stage to give speeches.

Under the spotlight, Luo Yichen spoke eloquently, describing the company's future development blueprint. His voice was steady and powerful, full of confidence and charm.

Wu Xinyan calmly explained the company's corporate culture and social responsibility. Her elegance and wisdom conquered everyone present.

Thunderous applause filled the entire venue, and the reputation of the Roche Group reached an unprecedented height.

Just as the two were immersed in the joy of success, a reporter suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "Mr. Wu, what is your response to the recent online rumors that the charity project you led is suspected of fraud?" The smile on Wu Xinyan's face froze instantly, and Luo Yichen suddenly turned his head to look at the reporter, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Xinyan, waiting for her answer.

"Mr. Wu, are those children who received donations really orphans?" another reporter asked relentlessly.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and was about to speak when Luo Yichen pulled her back.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't talk." Then he turned to the reporters and said in a cold tone, "Regarding the charitable project, we will hold a special press conference to explain it later. Now, please return to the main topic of the summit."

However, the reporters did not intend to give up. Like sharks smelling blood, they kept pressing forward and threw out one sharp question after another.

Just then, a staff member hurried to Luo Yichen and handed him a note.

After reading the note, Luo Yichen's expression suddenly changed. He held Wu Xinyan's hand tightly and said in a low and urgent voice: "Xinyan, we must leave here immediately."
