Chapter 305: Undercurrent of Crisis: Xiao Yue Uncovers Another Conspiracy
Xiao Yue took a sip of the champagne. The bubbles danced on the tip of her tongue, but it did not relieve her inner tension at all.
The light from the crystal chandelier poured down, illuminating the elegantly dressed figures and the clinking of glasses in the banquet hall.
On the surface, this was an ordinary business gathering, but Xiao Yue knew that tonight was destined not to be peaceful.
Lin Xiao, that sinister and cunning woman, must be here too, lurking in the dark like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Shen Ting stood beside her, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and resting the other hand gently on her waist, giving her silent support.
His deep gaze swept across the crowd, observing everything around him calmly.
He knew that what Xiao Yue needed at the moment was calmness and concentration, not excessive comfort.
"Ms. Xiao, long time no see." A greasy voice interrupted Xiao Yue's thoughts.
A well-dressed man holding a wine glass stood in front of her.
Xiao Yue recognized him; he was Lin Xiao's right-hand man, Zhao Xingui.
"Why are you here alone? Where is Mr. Shen?" Zhao Xingui asked with pretended concern, but there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Xiao Yue smiled calmly: "Mr. Zhao, you're joking. Shen Ting is right next to me." She turned slightly to reveal Shen Ting's figure.
Zhao Xingui's face froze for a moment, then he smiled again. "Mr. Shen is very busy, so I guess he doesn't have time to chat with Miss Xiao?"
"Mr. Zhao seems to be very concerned about my personal affairs?" Xiao Yue raised his eyebrows, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
"No, no, I'm just asking casually." Zhao Xingui laughed dryly twice, his eyes flashing.
He knew that Xiao Yue was not easy to deal with, so he stopped pestering her and turned to walk to the other side.
Xiao Yue looked at Zhao Xingui's back and sneered in his heart.
She had already seen through Lin Xiao's tricks.
She looked around, looking for Lin Xiao.
Suddenly, her eyes focused and she saw a familiar figure - Spy Chen, who was following a man stealthily, as if conveying some information.
Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly. Could there be an insider in the company?
"Shen Ting," Xiao Yue lowered her voice and leaned close to Shen Ting's ear, "I saw Spy Chen. He seemed to be meeting with someone."
Shen Ting followed Xiao Yue's gaze and his eyes instantly became sharp.
He nodded slightly, signaling Xiao Yue to continue observing.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Shen, long time no see." Public Relations Officer Wu walked over with a professional smile on his face.
"There are quite a few heavyweights at tonight's party."
Xiao Yue nodded calmly, but his eyes never left Spy Chen.
She felt that a bigger storm was brewing tonight.
She took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the crowd, her eyes fixed on one person - Lin Xiao's business partner, Mr. Wang.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I've long heard of you..."
Xiao Yue chatted with Mr. Wang with a sweet smile, and subtly inquired about Lin Xiao's recent movements in her words.
Mr. Wang had a good impression of Xiao Yue and thought she just wanted to know industry information, so he revealed some of Lin Xiao's business plans without any precautions.
Xiao Yue calmly memorized this information in his mind. In the distance, Lin Xiao was chatting and laughing with several business tycoons, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Yue and President Wang having a good chat.
She frowned slightly, feeling an uneasy foreboding.
Xiao Yue's behavior was completely beyond her expectations.
Xiao Yue learned from Mr. Wang that Lin Xiao had been secretly acquiring a small technology company recently, and this company possessed a key technology that was urgently needed by Xiao's company.
Xiao Yue's heart trembled. She finally understood Lin Xiao's ultimate goal - to suppress the development of Xiao's enterprise by controlling this technology.
A feeling of excitement surged in her heart, and she felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.
She made an excuse to leave President Wang, walked quickly to Shen Ting, and told him the information she had just received.
After Shen Ting finished listening, Xiao Yue felt the warmth of his palm and became more determined.
Back in the Xiao Enterprise office, Xiao Yue immediately assembled the team to compare and analyze the information obtained from President Wang with previous clues.
After some careful consideration, they finally found evidence that Lin Xiao had tampered with the business transactions.
Lin Xiao used shell companies to conduct fake transactions to conceal her true purpose.
This discovery excited the entire team, and they were amazed at Xiao Yue's sharpness and wisdom.
After the senior management of Xiao's Enterprise learned the news, they also praised Xiao Yue's abilities and believed that she had made great contributions to the company.
Lin Xiao's conspiracy began to gradually surface, and the signs of being exposed became more and more obvious.
At this moment, Xiao Yue's cell phone suddenly vibrated, and an anonymous text message came into view: "Mr. Xiao, be careful of the people around you, some things are more complicated than you think..." Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.
The anonymous text message on Xiao Yue's mobile phone screen was like a cold needle, pricking her nerves.
She quickly forwarded the text message to Shen Ting, and the moment the latter saw the text message, his eyes became as dark as ink.
Just as the two exchanged glances, a burst of noise broke the silence in Xiao Yue's office.
Someone posted an anonymous message in the employee group, claiming that Xiao's internal management was chaotic and there were serious financial loopholes. Some even hinted that Xiao was about to face bankruptcy.
The news spread like a virus, causing panic among employees.
All kinds of questioning and speculation filled the entire office, and everyone was in panic.
Public Relations Officer Wu responded quickly and immediately organized a public relations team to launch a public opinion counterattack.
She knew very well that the current public opinion crisis was by no means accidental and that someone must be manipulating it behind the scenes.
While trying to calm her employees, she mobilized resources from all sides to try to find out the source of the information.
The sounds of keyboards and telephones ringing intertwined, and the office was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Public Relations Officer Wu's gaze was firm.
"Immediately identify the source of the information and make sure to find out who is behind this!" Xiao Yue's voice was calm and powerful, breaking the panic in the office.
Her clear instructions were like a shot in the arm, helping the panicked employees regain their direction.
She quickly deployed her plans, asking the technical department to cooperate with PR Wu to track the publisher's IP, and the financial department to cooperate in checking the accounts to set the record straight.
Her calm demeanor and decisive decision-making shocked and impressed the originally panicked Xiao employees.
At the same time, in another corner of the banquet hall, Shen Ting's eyes never left Xiao Yue.
He saw her calmness and decisiveness in the face of the sudden crisis, and an indescribable pride welled up in his heart.
He knew that his girl was no dodder that depended on him, she possessed the power to hold up the sky.
His eyes were gentle and firm, showing his silent support and deep love for Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue felt the gaze from Shen Ting, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
In such a complicated situation, with his support, she had infinite courage and strength.
She quickly directed Wu's public relations team to fight back.
Through technical means, they quickly locked down the IP address, which turned out to be an internal employee of Xiao Group, spy Chen.
Public Relations Officer Wu immediately held a press conference to announce the truth and demonstrate to the public Xiao's determination and ability to proactively respond to the crisis.
Xiao Yue's decisive counterattack completely thwarted Chen's conspiracy and also made the voices that originally doubted the Xiao family disappear.
In the banquet hall, Lin Xiao watched Xiao Yue's every move from afar, with a gloomy look between his brows.
She couldn't understand why her plans were always easily broken by Xiao Yue.
She gripped the wine glass tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
The secret she hides deep in her heart is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.
She was unwilling to accept this and she was determined to make Xiao Yue pay the price.
As the night deepened, the people in the banquet hall gradually dispersed.
Xiao Yue walked to Shen Ting, and the two smiled at each other, silently sharing their joy.
Shen Ting gently put his arm around Xiao Yue's shoulders and whispered, "You were great tonight." Xiao Yue felt the warmth of his palm and her heart was filled with happiness.
Suddenly, Shen Ting's cell phone rang. He picked up the call and said in a low and cold voice: "Check Lin Xiao's recent financial movements immediately, especially the overseas accounts under her name..." He put down the phone, his deep eyes fixed on the distance, as if to penetrate the night.
