After a long while, Lin Xi reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the distant horizon, and once again cast her eyes on Ye Chen who was standing quietly beside her. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were full of complex emotions of expectation and anxiety, as if Ye Chen had become the only life-saving straw in her life that could save her from the water and fire.

"Ye Chen, then... what should we do now?" Her voice sounded a little trembling, mixed with a hint of urgency that could not be concealed at all. It seemed that she was eager to get a definite answer from Ye Chen, so that her heart, which had been hanging high in her throat and could never fall back to its original position, could be slightly calmed down.

After hearing Lin Xi's question, Ye Chen first frowned slightly unconsciously. His two thick and black eyebrows were tightly knitted together, forming a deep ravine-like line in the middle. His eyes, as deep as the night sky, were constantly flashing with the light of thinking. Just like that, he stood straight in the same place in silence, without even moving.

Time passed by minute by minute. After a long, long time, he seemed to have finally thought it through. He slowly opened his mouth and said softly, "Let's wait and see what happens. Let's see what Xiao Di Yu is going to do next. In the meantime, you must do your best to stabilize your emotions and never let them notice your intention to resist." As he said this, his eyes revealed a barely perceptible calmness and composure, as if everything was under control.

Lin Xi nodded gently, indicating her agreement with Ye Chen's proposal, but she was still worried. She raised her head and looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the sky. She saw that the red sun was slowly sliding towards the horizon, dyeing the surrounding sky orange-red.

As time went by, the light in the garden gradually dimmed, and the flowers that were once bright and colorful seemed to have lost their former glory and became a little blurry. They swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling some unknown sadness.

At this time, the breeze gently blew through the garden, rustling the leaves. The sunset glow in the sky became more and more gorgeous, dyeing the whole garden with a warm orange-red color.

Lin Xi lowered her head slightly, looking at the hand held by Ye Chen, and her heart felt a little more at ease.

But her eyes were still full of worry, as if the haze covering her heart could not be easily dispelled.

Ye Chen held her hand tightly, looking into the distance with a determined gaze, as if thinking about his next plan. The flowers in the garden swayed gently in the breeze, as if sighing for their predicament.

After a long while, Ye Chen slowly opened his mouth and said, "We can't just sit there and wait to be dealt with! I must think of a way to turn the passive situation into the active one and find out what fatal weakness Xiao Di Yu has."

Hearing this, Lin Xi, who had been lowering her head, suddenly raised her head. A faint but hopeful light flashed in her originally dull eyes. She hurriedly asked, "Is this... is this true? So what good idea did you come up with?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied, "Right now, I don't have any idea of ​​a specific action plan. But don't worry, give me some time, I promise I can come up with a solution quickly."

After listening to this, Lin Xi couldn't help biting her lip, looking a little anxious. Then she asked cautiously, "Then...what can we do now? Should we just wait like an idiot?"

Ye Chen was not in a hurry. He thought for a while and then responded: "In my opinion, we can start collecting some intelligence information related to Xiao Di Yu and study it carefully. Maybe we can find some useful clues from it."

After hearing this, Lin Xi nodded vigorously as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and replied, "Okay, I will do my best to do this." After that, the two of them stood silently in the garden. No one said a word, but their hearts were filled with worries and vague expectations about the future.

After saying goodbye to Ye Chen, Lin Xi hurried back to her own house. However, she never expected that her cell phone would ring suddenly as soon as she stepped into the house. She picked up her phone and saw the words "Xiao Di Yu" on the screen. This sudden call really made Lin Xi's heart rise to her throat...

Lin Xi's hands seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, and they began to tremble slightly. She held the phone tightly, and after a lot of inner struggle, Lin Xi finally mustered up the courage and slowly pressed the answer button.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the only sound in the world was the familiar yet unfamiliar voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Lin Xi, don't think I don't know what you are planning." Xiao Di Yu's voice came into Lin Xi's ears coldly. The hint of threat contained in it was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into her heart.

Hearing this, Lin Xi's heart sank suddenly, as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. But she knew that she must not reveal any flaws at this time, so she gritted her teeth, pretended to be calm, and responded: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Although her voice sounded relatively calm, only she knew that her heart was already in a turmoil.

"Hmph, stop pretending!" Xiao Diyu snorted coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, staring straight ahead, as if he could see through the other person's mind through the phone screen. His voice was low and cold, with undisguised sarcasm and disdain: "Do you think you and Ye Chen's shameful little actions can be hidden from my eyes? It's just a foolish dream!" At this point, he paused slightly, raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "But don't be too proud, I won't let you succeed easily." There was a strong self-confidence revealed in his words, which made people shudder.

When Lin Xi heard this, she couldn't help but tremble and subconsciously bit her lips. Her face turned pale and a trace of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly calmed down and asked in a low voice: "What do you want?"

"It's very simple..." Xiao Di Yu dragged out the tone, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense. After a moment, he slowly said, "As long as you listen to me, everything can be discussed. Otherwise... hehe, the consequences will be quite serious, so don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!" After that, without waiting for Lin Xi's response, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

"Beep, beep, beep..." There was a busy tone in the receiver, but Lin Xi still kept the same posture as when she answered the phone, standing there blankly, motionless. Her mind kept echoing the words Xiao Diyu had just said, and her heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

Lin Xi slowly put down her phone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. She knew that she couldn't be dominated by fear now and had to take action.

Her thoughts were turning rapidly in her mind. When this idea came to her mind clearly, Lin Xi did not hesitate at all and returned home quickly with a quick but elegant pace. After entering the house, she went straight to the cloakroom, opened the closet door, and her eyes were accurately locked on the white dress hanging in a prominent position.

However, at this moment, she needed to show a different image - professional, capable and powerful. So she gently took off the white dress, carefully put it back in its place, and then picked up a well-cut professional suit from the hanger. This suit seemed to be tailor-made for her, perfectly outlining her graceful figure.

After changing her clothes, Lin Xi stood in front of the mirror and tidied herself up. Her long black hair was neatly tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck. Her exquisite makeup highlighted her bright eyes and charming lips. She looked not only beautiful, but also exuded a unique charm and confidence of a working woman.

Everything was ready. Lin Xi took a deep breath and walked out of the house without hesitation, heading towards her company. Along the way, she kept thinking about the next work challenges she would face and how to lead the team to achieve greater success.

Soon, Lin Xi arrived at the company building. She walked quickly into the elevator and pressed the floor button. As the elevator rose steadily, her heart gradually calmed down, but the passion deep in her heart was still burning.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Lin Xi walked out of the elevator and went directly to the conference room. At this time, the heads of various departments had been waiting here for a long time. She calmly walked to the main seat at the conference table and sat down. After looking around at everyone, she cleared her throat and said, "Dear colleagues, I called you all here today because we are facing an important task. We must expand the scale of the company and enhance the company's competitiveness in the shortest possible time!"

Having said that, Lin Xi paused, scanned the audience with a determined look, and continued: "This is not just a slogan, but also the direction and goal of our common efforts. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to achieve this goal!"

Her words were sonorous and powerful, and her tone revealed an unquestionable majesty. The heads of various departments present nodded one after another, expressing their full support for this work. Everyone could truly feel Lin Xi's determination and sense of urgency.
