Bab 15: Chapter 15: Misinformation leads to a deep dilemma
The email contained only one sentence: "Want to know where the shareholders' money went and how to save the company? See you tomorrow morning at 10 am at xx Coffee Shop."
Dai Shiya was shocked. This email was too strange, and the content directly pointed out her most pressing problem. She couldn't help but be suspicious. Could someone be secretly watching all this?
She immediately forwarded the email to Wei Qing and called her: "Xiao Qing, please take a look at this. I think it's very strange."
After listening to Dai Shiya's description, Wei Qing calmly analyzed: "The appearance of this email is too coincidental. You have to be careful. It is very likely that someone deliberately set it up."
"I know, but you know the current situation of the company. I really have no other choice." Dai Shiya's voice was full of fatigue and helplessness.
"Shi Ya, I know you are very anxious, but you need to stay calm at times like this. Is there any way you can find the sender's information?" Wei Qing asked worriedly.
"I tried it, but it's an encrypted mailbox and I can't find any information." Dai Shiya sighed helplessly.
"How about this, I'll go with you tomorrow, and we'll first see what the other party wants to do." Wei Qing made a prompt decision.
The next day, Dai Shiya and Wei Qing arrived at the agreed coffee shop in advance. Ten minutes later, a man in a black windbreaker appeared and walked straight towards them.
"Is this Miss Dai? I know you are in urgent need of an opportunity. Here is some information about a new overseas project. I believe you will be interested." The man said, putting a USB flash drive on the table.
Dai Shiya hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the USB flash drive. After returning to the company, she couldn't wait to insert the USB flash drive into the computer. A detailed project plan appeared in front of her, with detailed data, thorough analysis, and huge profit margins, like a tempting cake, exuding a sweet scent.
"Xiao Qing, look!" Dai Shiya pointed at the screen, her tone unable to conceal her excitement, "If we can get this project, the company's crisis will be solved!"
Wei Qing leaned closer to the screen and read the project plan carefully, but her brows were slightly furrowed: "Shiya, this plan is indeed very tempting, but we know nothing about this project, and..."
"I know what you want to say," Dai Shiya interrupted her, "but we don't have time now, do we?" Her eyes were firm, and her tone was resolute, "I've made up my mind, let's take a gamble!"
Wei Qing wanted to persuade her again, but she saw that Dai Shiya had already started to contact the overseas team to prepare for the project launch. She could only shake her head helplessly and swallowed her unfinished words. However, her uneasiness became stronger and stronger. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it...
"Shiya, have you ever thought about what if..." "Shiya, have you ever thought about what if this is a trap?" Wei Qing couldn't help but voice out her concerns. "The timing of this project is too coincidental, and we know nothing about it. What if..."
"No, Xiaoqing, you think too much." Dai Shiya patted Wei Qing's hand comfortingly, "This plan is so detailed and the data analysis is very professional. It doesn't seem fake."
Although she said so, Dai Shiya was also a little uneasy in her heart. However, the company's current predicament left her with no choice but to bite the bullet and take a gamble.
She began to mobilize the company's resources and invested a lot of money and manpower in this new overseas project. In the early stage, the project progressed smoothly and everything seemed to be developing in the expected direction. Dai Shiya's tense nerves finally relaxed a little and she was full of expectations for the success of this project.
However, the good times did not last long. When the project was halfway through, various problems came one after another. The overseas partner suddenly changed its mind and demanded a higher share of the profits. The price of raw materials required for the project skyrocketed, causing costs to rise sharply. To make matters worse, the local government introduced new policies and adjusted the project approval process, forcing the project to be temporarily suspended.
Dai Shiya realized that something was wrong. She urgently contacted the overseas team to find out the situation, but found that the other party was always evasive and vague. She had an ominous premonition in her heart and quickly commissioned Wei Qing to investigate the true background of this overseas project.
Wei Qing is indeed a wise guy, and soon she found out the shocking inside story. It turned out that this so-called new overseas project was a complete scam, and the manipulator behind the scenes was Dai Shiya's competitor, Mr. Li!
Mr. Li had long been eyeing the Dai family's business. He took advantage of Dai Shiya's eagerness to achieve success and deliberately spread false information to induce her to invest in this non-existent project. His purpose was to bring down the Dai family's business and then take the opportunity to swallow it up.
Dai Shiya was shocked when she learned the truth. She never thought that she would fall into Mr. Li's trap. Due to the large amount of money invested in the early stage, the project was forced to be suspended, the company's capital chain was broken, and it was on the verge of collapse.
To make matters worse, the family began to feel dissatisfied with Dai Shiya and questioned her decision-making ability. The uncles and uncles who once supported her put pressure on her and asked her to turn the situation around as soon as possible, otherwise they would take back her management rights.
Dai Shiya is isolated and helpless, and falls into an unprecedented predicament. And all this is just the first step of Li's plan...
In the office, Mr. Li put down the phone in his hand, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The good show has just begun."
A flattering voice came from the other end of Mr. Li's phone: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I have spread the news as you instructed. Now the whole circle is talking about Dai Shiya's wrong decision..." Mr. Li hung up the phone with satisfaction, picked up the red wine glass and shook it gently. The liquid in the glass reflected his sinister eyes. This is the effect he wanted. First, destroy Dai Shiya's reputation and make her completely lose her prestige in the family business, and then make a move to completely defeat her and swallow up everything she worked hard to build.
The atmosphere in Dai Shiya's office was completely different, almost suffocating. Dai Shiya sat at her desk, her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white from overexertion. She regretted, deeply regretted, why did she trust the so-called "overseas project"? If she had been more careful and listened to Wei Qing's opinions, perhaps she would not have ended up like this.
"Shiya, don't blame yourself too much. The most important thing now is to find a way to solve the problem." Wei Qing handed her a glass of warm water and comforted her softly, "It has already happened. It's useless to blame yourself. We have to cheer up and find a way to get through this difficult time together."
Dai Shiya took the cup of water but didn't drink it. She let the warm wall of the cup warm her cold hands. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "You're right. I can't give up like this!" She raised her head and looked at Wei Qing firmly. "Xiaoqing, help me analyze it. Do we still have a chance to turn the tables?"
Wei Qing nodded, walked to the desk, picked up the plan for the "overseas project", and read it carefully. This plan was well-made and the data was detailed. If anyone didn't know in advance that it was a scam, they would believe it.
"This Mr. Li is very meticulous and does things without any mistakes. It's not easy to find his flaws." Wei Qing put down the plan and frowned. "However, he still let a flaw slip."
"What's the clue?" Dai Shijiu raised his head suddenly, a glimmer of hope burning in his eyes.
Wei Qing walked to the window, drew the curtains to block the prying eyes outside the window, and said in a low voice: "I have investigated and found that all the data sources in this plan are fake, but..." She paused and looked at Dai Shiya sharply, "These data are not fabricated out of thin air, but come from a real project."
Dai Shiya's heart was shocked, as if she had grasped some key information, and she asked, "What project?"
Wei Qing walked over to Dai Shiya, leaned down, and whispered the name of a project in her ear.
Dai Shiya's pupils shrank suddenly, and she murmured in disbelief: "How could it be this..."
"How could it be the 'Spark Project'?!" Dai Shiya stood up suddenly, her face pale, and she muttered to herself. The 'Spark Project' was an important strategic cooperation she had planned and had not yet been made public. The data and information involved were all highly confidential. How could it be used by President Li?
"It seems someone leaked the news." Wei Qing analyzed calmly, her eyes sharp. "Boss Li used the real data of this plan to forge the overseas project plan and made you believe it. Now there are rumors in the circle that you made a wrong decision. I'm afraid he deliberately released the news in order to undermine your confidence and make you lose your composure."
Dai Shiya's heart sank, as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. She had always thought that she was cautious enough, but she had never expected that someone would take advantage of her, and that person might be right next to her. A chill ran straight from the soles of her feet to her heart, and she realized that what she was facing was not just business competition, but also a thrilling conspiracy.
"The most urgent task is to find out who leaked the Spark Project." Dai Shiya took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. A fierce look flashed in her eyes. "Only by finding this person can we stop Mr. Li's next move."
At the same time, Mr. Li was sitting in front of a large French window, overlooking the night view of the city, with a smug smile on his face. He drank the red wine in his hand and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Remember, the next step is to spread the news that Dai's capital chain is broken and is about to go bankrupt..."
The huge pressure was like an invisible net, tightly surrounding Dai Shiya. She knew that she had no way out and had to break the situation as soon as possible, otherwise she would not only lose everything, but might even bring trouble to the entire family.
"Xiao Qing, help me retrieve the company's cash flow records for the past year. I want to check it carefully..." Dai Shiya looked through the piles of reports on the table. Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something. She raised her head abruptly and stared at a number on the report. "This amount is..."
