Ethan, the chief lawyer of K&P Law Firm, was slightly surprised when he received a call from Dai Shiya.
The new head of Dai's group was vigorous and resolute, but also had an elusive calmness.
Ethan pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and said respectfully and professionally: "Ms. Dai, it's an honor to serve you."
Dai Shiya's voice was calm and clear, without any panic: "Lawyer Ethan, I need you to help me prepare a legal document for the local business alliance, involving unfair competition..." She paused and said more seriously, "I want them to know what the price will be if they touch Dai's bottom line."
At the same time, Wei Qing was sitting on the sofa in Dai Shiya's office, flipping through the latest market report.
Her slender fingers slid on the tablet, her brows furrowed.
The local business alliance's actions were faster and more ruthless than they expected, almost an all-round and no-dead-angle blockade.
From raw material supply to sales channels, even some small businesses that had originally cooperated well began to avoid Dai's Group.
In the office, the air conditioner was whirring, but Wei Qing felt a chill. This was not only from the cold air from the air conditioner, but also from the cruelty of this business war.
Dai Shiya hung up the phone, walked to Wei Qing, and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, everything is under control." Her tone was firm, as if she could dispel all the haze.
"But..." Wei Qing raised her head, wanting to say something but stopping.
She wanted to say that this time the opponent was different from the past. It was a business giant that had been entrenched in the local area for many years. They were deeply rooted and had abundant resources. It would be difficult to get any benefit if they confronted them head-on.
Dai Shiya understood Wei Qing's concerns. She picked up the red wine on the table, poured two glasses, handed one to Wei Qing, then raised her own glass and shook it gently. The red wine shone with a charming luster under the light.
"We don't need to confront them head-on," Dai Shiya raised a confident smile at the corner of her mouth, "Sometimes, a little effort can achieve a surprise victory."
Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya's confident look, and the anxiety in her heart gradually subsided.
She took the wine glass and clinked it with Dai Shiya. The crisp sound of the collision was particularly clear in the silent office.
"What are you going to do?" Wei Qing asked with a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Dai Shiya smiled mysteriously and did not answer directly. Instead, she walked to the French window, overlooking the brightly lit city night scene, and said slowly: "Tomorrow, I'm going to visit someone..." Dai Shiya ignored the doubts and concerns of her family members, and ignored the heavy pressure from the business alliance. Contrary to
her usual practice, she did not choose to confront those business giants head-on, but turned her attention to another group - those emerging companies that have been suppressed by large family businesses for a long time and are struggling to survive.
She visited these companies in person, moving elegantly and calmly between the slightly shabby office buildings and noisy factories.
The high heels hit the ground, making a crisp sound, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding environment and attracted countless curious eyes.
The confidence and courage she exuded, like a shining star, illuminated these companies shrouded in shadows.
The cooperation plan proposed by Dai Shiya is not a simple financial assistance or resource sharing, but a strategic alliance of mutual benefit and common development.
She promised to provide these enterprises with the brand endorsement and sales channels of the Dai Group to help them open up the market and enhance their competitiveness; at the same time, these enterprises will also provide the Dai Group with more flexible production models and more innovative products to form complementary advantages.
This news was like a thunderbolt from the ground, and it exploded in the local business community.
The helmsmen of large family enterprises put down their red wine glasses and widened their eyes in disbelief.
They never thought that Dai Shiya would choose such a "sword-taking" path.
At the family meeting, doubts came one after another, and the mood of worry filled the air, as if a storm was coming.
"Is she crazy? What's the point of cooperating with those small workshops?" A family elder angrily slammed the table, his turbid eyes full of anxiety.
"Yes, doing so will only lower our grade and damage our brand image!" Another person echoed with a hint of panic in his tone.
However, Dai Shiya's move received a warm response from those emerging companies.
They were like seedlings that had been in drought for a long time, eager to grab this life-saving straw.
In just a few days, dozens of companies signed cooperation agreements with the Dai Group. A new force quickly emerged and set off a wave in the business world.
The atmosphere in the originally tense family meeting room also changed subtly.
The elders' originally frowned brows gradually relaxed, and their eyes flashed with surprise.
The family members who were originally worried also showed excited smiles on their faces.
"It seems that we all underestimated this girl..." An elder sighed with a hint of appreciation in his tone.
Dai Shiya stood in front of the French window, looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
She gently turned the wine glass in her hand, and the deep red wine swayed under the light.
"This is just the beginning..." She whispered. Wei Qing walked to her side and gently held her hand. "Are you...really sure that this is okay?"
Dai Shiya looked at the shaking red wine in her hand and took a deep breath. The aroma of the wine lingered at the tip of her nose, but she couldn't dispel the lingering doubts in her heart.
She remembered the questioning eyes of the family elders and the covetous attitude of the business alliance. Deep in her heart, a trace of uneasiness climbed like a vine.
Can it really succeed?
Is this road too risky?
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and drank the red wine in the glass.
The spicy wine slid down her throat, as if washing away the hesitation in her heart.
So what if it's a risk?
How can you know the result without a fight?
She opened her eyes, and her eyes flashed with a firm light.
Wei Qing felt the warmth of Dai Shiya's palm, a kind of warmth with power, which gradually calmed her originally uneasy heart.
"I believe you." She said firmly, with a tone full of trust.
Dai Shiya raised her lips slightly and held Wei Qing's hand.
In the following days, Dai Shiya was like a tireless machine, leading those emerging enterprises to break through many obstacles and achieve initial success in some projects.
A municipal project that had been shelved for a long time by a large family enterprise was completed ahead of schedule with the joint efforts of emerging enterprises, and the quality was far beyond expectations, which attracted high praise from the municipal government. A
batch of unsalable innovative products quickly opened up the market with the help of Dai's Group's sales channels, and sales continued to rise.
With the frequent good news, the atmosphere in the meeting room of Dai's Group was warm and thunderous applause.
The faces of the family elders were filled with gratified smiles, and the original voices of doubt had long disappeared, replaced by appreciation and admiration for Dai Shiya.
The helmsmen of those large family enterprises were livid, and the blockades they carefully arranged were so easily torn open by Dai Shiya.
"Damn it! This woman, actually..." A family helmsman fiercely threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the glass fragments splashed, reflecting his distorted face.
"We can't let her go on like this!" said another helmsman with gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.
Dai Shiya stood in front of the French window, looking at the flashing neon lights in the distance, with a confident smile on her lips.
She turned around and said to Wei Qing: "Next, it's the real contest..."
Dai Shiya, dressed in a royal blue velvet dress, stood elegantly on the podium of the Chamber of Commerce.
The light of the crystal chandelier fell on her, making her even more radiant.
Offstage, the eyes of the Chamber of Commerce members were focused on her, with admiration, curiosity, and a hint of jealousy that was difficult to conceal.
"Everyone," Dai Shiya's voice was crisp and powerful, echoing in the spacious conference hall, "The development of Dai's Group's overseas business requires a more open and fair market environment..." She spoke eloquently, telling the initiative she had prepared in advance.
Every point she made was carefully considered, which was in line with the interests of Dai's Group and took into account the demands of other companies.
Offstage, the members of the Chamber of Commerce who were originally hostile to the Dai Group were gradually moved by her sincerity and wisdom.
They began to re-examine this young family controller, and the applause came like a tide, flooding the entire conference hall.
Dai Shiya smiled slightly and bowed gracefully to express her gratitude.
After the meeting, Dai Shiya returned to the hotel suite.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the city night view was dazzling, just like her mood at the moment.
She walked to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of red wine, and shook it gently. The deep red wine shone with a charming luster under the light.
"Celebrate?" A low and magnetic voice sounded behind her.
Dai Shiya turned around and saw a tall and straight figure standing at the door.
The man was wearing a black suit, with deep features and gentle eyes. He was her mysterious husband.
"Of course," Dai Shiya smiled and raised the glass, "To our common victory."
The man walked to her side, took the glass from her hand, and took a sip gently.
"You performed very well today," he praised, "but there are some things I don't agree with."
Dai Shiya's smile paused slightly, "Where?"
The man put the wine glass back on the table, walked to the French window, looked at the night view outside the window, and said slowly: "Those initiatives you put forward are beneficial to the Dai Group, but they will also harm the interests of some people..."
Dai Shiya frowned slightly, "But..."
The man turned around and looked at her deeply, "Have you ever thought about how those people will fight back?"
Dai Shiya was silent.
She knew that her husband's worries were not unreasonable.
The business world is like a battlefield. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Although her actions today won the respect of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, they would inevitably offend some people.
"I..." Dai Shiya was about to explain, but was interrupted by the man.
"You are too eager for success," the man walked in front of her and gently stroked her cheek, "Some things need to be done slowly..."
Dai Shiya raised her head and looked into the man's deep eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She knew that her husband was doing it for her good, but his overly cautious attitude made her feel a little depressed.
"I understand what you mean," Dai Shiya took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm, "but I also have my own ideas..."
The man looked at her,"
Dai Shiya did not speak, just looked at him quietly.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little solemn.
"I'm tired," the man turned and walked towards the bedroom, "I'll rest first."
Dai Shiya looked at his back, and the wine glass in her hand trembled slightly.
She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"Wait..."
