Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Jiang Ciyou thought that after working with Lu Jingchen to overcome the last business crisis, the road ahead would be smooth, and she and Lu Jingchen could safely move towards the future they longed for. Every sunrise and sunset they watched together, and the future blueprint they planned together, rekindled her hope for life, and she was full of hope that happiness would finally stay for a long time.

However, fate did not seem to let her off easily, and the haze came again without warning.

Early that morning, Jiang Ciyou entered the company as usual. As soon as she entered the office building, she keenly noticed the strange atmosphere - her colleagues who usually chatted with each other in a lively manner now had solemn faces, and were full of panic and anxiety when they whispered to each other. Her heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to her mind, and her pace unconsciously quickened.

Before she even walked into her office, her assistant came up to her in a hurry. Her face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, her lips were trembling, and her voice was a little tearful: "Boss Jiang, something happened, something serious!" Jiang Ciyou's heart sank suddenly. She took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her increasingly flustered mind, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened?"

The assistant swallowed and spoke with difficulty: "This morning, all major media outlets were suddenly reporting on the leak of our company's confidential documents. Now the Internet has exploded and public opinion is in an uproar. Our stock price has plummeted since the opening, and customers have called one after another to request to terminate the contract. Now the company's phone is almost blown up..."

The assistant's words were like a hammer hitting Jiang Ciyou's heart. She felt a buzz in her head and was dizzy. She swayed, and the assistant reached out to support her. Jiang Ciyou calmed down, shook off the assistant's hand, and walked quickly towards the office with her weak legs.

Along the way, the looks from the employees passing by were filled with sympathy, worry, and more often confusion and helplessness. These looks were like thorns in the back, but they also strengthened Jiang Ciyou's determination to save the company.

Pushing open the office door, Jiang Ciyou walked straight to the desk and turned on the computer. The screen lit up, and an overwhelming amount of negative news came at her face - glaring news headlines, sharp accusatory comments, all of which announced the company's current desperate situation. Her hands trembled as she held the mouse, trying to make sense of the confusing information, but the more she read, the colder her heart became.

The leakage of confidential documents was like a fatal wound, exposing the company's core business to the sharp blades of competitors. Those projects that were originally carefully prepared and determined to win were now deadlocked due to the leakage of confidential information. Partners withdrew their investments one after another, and the cornerstone of trust collapsed overnight.

Jiang Ciyou bit her lower lip tightly until she felt a stinging pain on her lip and the smell of blood filled her mouth. She then realized her loss of composure. She tried to calm down, picked up the phone on the table, and began to dial the customer's number one by one, trying to save the situation.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, my name is Jiang Ciyou. Regarding today's news, I assure you that this is a complete misunderstanding. Our company is absolutely capable of solving the problem. Please give us another chance..." Jiang Ciyou tried his best to make his voice sound calm and confident, but what came from the other end of the phone was a cold rejection.

"Mr. Jiang, it's not that I don't give you face. This incident has become too serious, and our company can't afford such a risk. Let's end the cooperation here for now." After saying that, the phone was ruthlessly hung up, leaving only the "beep" busy tone echoing in Jiang Ciyou's ears.

One, two, three... Every call brought the same result, and Jiang Ciyou's heart sank to the bottom with each rejection. She put down the phone, leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, her mind blank.

After an unknown amount of time, a quick knock on the door woke Jiang Ciyou from her trance. She sat up straight, tidied up her messy hair, and took a deep breath: "Come in."

The door opened, and several senior managers of the company walked in with serious faces. The deputy general manager, who was always in high spirits on weekdays, frowned and looked exhausted at this moment: "General Manager Jiang, the situation is urgent now, we have to think of a solution. The public relations department is already doing its best to deal with public opinion, but the effect is minimal, and negative news is still pouring out. The technical department is urgently investigating the source of the file leak, but there is no clue yet..."

Jiang Ciyou nodded slightly, his voice hoarse but firm: "I understand, thank you all for your hard work. First, gather the heads of all departments and hold an emergency meeting. We will discuss countermeasures together."

Everyone responded and filed out. Jiang Ciyou rubbed her temples, trying to dispel the exhaustion and despair that followed her like a shadow. She knew that the company at this moment was like a lonely boat that was swaying in a storm, and she was the only one at the helm. She had to do everything she could to lead everyone out of this stormy sea.

The atmosphere in the conference room was so depressing that it was suffocating. The heads of various departments sat around the conference table, looking at each other, with anxiety and helplessness written all over their faces.

The PR manager spoke first: "Mr. Jiang, this public opinion storm is coming fiercely. We have contacted major media outlets and tried to issue a statement to clarify the facts, but they all asked us to provide conclusive evidence to prove that the document leak was not caused by our poor internal management. But now we have no evidence at all, so..."

The technical director then said: "We have conducted a comprehensive investigation of the company's network system. The preliminary judgment is that someone stole the files through internal permissions. But who did it and when? We need to investigate further. However, the other party was obviously well prepared and cleaned up all the traces, which made our investigation very difficult."

The marketing director also sighed: "The situation with customers is not optimistic. We have lost more than half of our major customers, and the rest are waiting and watching. If we can't solve the problem in a short period of time and restore their confidence, the company's business may be..."

Everyone was talking at once, and every word was like a sharp blade, piercing Jiang Ciyou's heart. She listened quietly, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the conference table, trying to find a breakthrough in this chaotic situation.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she looked at the Finance Manager: "Finance, how long can our current financial situation last?"

The manager of the finance department pushed up his glasses and answered solemnly: "If we continue to lose money at the current rate, and we still have to pay employee salaries, supplier payments and other expenses, our funds can only last for one month at most. After one month, if there is no new capital injection, the company may face bankruptcy..."

Jiang Ciyou's face turned paler and paler. How could she turn the tide in just one month? She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

After the meeting, Jiang Ciyou returned to the office alone and fell into deep despair again. She looked around. This place that was once full of dreams and hopes now seemed like a cage, trapping her in endless pain.

Outside the window, the sky was so gloomy that it seemed to be collapsing. The strong wind was whistling and hitting the window, as if wailing for her miserable situation. Jiang Ciyou slowly walked to the window, looking at the gloomy sky outside, and tears finally burst out of her eyes.

She remembered the hardships she had gone through, the humiliation of being betrayed by her husband on their wedding night, and the nights she spent licking her wounds alone; she remembered every detail of her acquaintance and friendship with Lu Jingchen, his gentleness, his companionship, and everything he had done for her; she also remembered her former ambitions and her determination to make a name for herself in this business world.

But now, all of this seemed to be gone, and she felt extremely desperate and helpless. Was she destined to be teased by fate and never be able to find true happiness?

Jiang Ciyou leaned against the window, letting her tears flow freely. Her body trembled slightly, like a leaf drifting in the wind. In this desperate situation, she didn't know how long she could hold on, and she didn't know where the future would lead her...
