Lin Yu sat alone in the vast, empty conference room, the surrounding silence washing over her like a tide, making her feel even more isolated and desolate.
Her slender hands tightly clutched the fragments of the contract that Jiang Chen had ruthlessly torn to shreds. This contract represented countless days and nights of hard work and dedication.
Yet now, it had become nothing more than a pile of worthless scraps.
At this moment, Lin Yu's eyes burned with an intense fire of resentment and anger, as if the flames were about to burst forth from her very soul.
Through gritted teeth, she managed to squeeze out a resentful exclamation: "This is truly outrageous! How dare he treat me like this!" Her words echoed like thunder in the empty conference room, lingering in the air.
As her voice faded, Lin Yu's body trembled slightly, and even her usually melodious voice became hoarse with emotion.
Suddenly, she stood up and with all her might hurled the crumpled pieces of the contract towards the trash can.
With a sharp "thud," the fragments scattered across the floor like a broken heart.
The sound seemed to temporarily release some of the anger boiling within her, but much more resentment still churned in her heart.
At that moment, a voice with a slightly electronic yet caring tone suddenly resonated in Lin Yu's mind: "Oh dear, host, calm down! Getting angry isn't good for your health! Anger can harm you!" It was the System "Inverse Light" attempting to soothe her.
The voice carried a hint of helplessness, as if it had anticipated Lin Yu's intense reaction. "Why put yourself through this?" Inverse Light continued, trying to quell the storm of emotions raging inside her.
"How can I possibly calm down? I’ve worked tirelessly day and night, waking up earlier than roosters and going to bed later than dogs. After all my efforts to establish this company, now I have to watch that despicable bastard Jiang Chen swallow it whole!
How can I possibly swallow this humiliation?"
Lin Yu shouted furiously, shaking with rage. Her once fair complexion was now flushed red with anger, resembling a ripe apple.
Her chest heaved violently, and the fire of anger within her burned fiercely. She longed to rush in front of Jiang Chen like an arrow released from a bow, to engage him in a life-and-death struggle. Even if it meant a fight to the bitter end, it would be better than enduring such humiliation!
At that moment, a calm and gentle voice echoed in her mind: "Host, have you forgotten our ultimate goal? We are not just here for these immediate gains and losses; our journey is towards the stars and the sea!
No, it should be said that we must defeat Jiang Chen, this villain, and make him pay a heavy price for all his misdeeds! So, you absolutely cannot lose your composure at this critical moment!"
The speaker was none other than the System—Inverse Light—who had always accompanied Lin Yu.
Its words were soft, yet contained an undeniable firmness, akin to a seasoned father patiently guiding his emotionally charged child.
Hearing Inverse Light's words, Lin Yu was momentarily taken aback, and her anger subsided slightly, though her face still bore an expression of deep frustration.
She slowly slumped into her chair, feeling as deflated as a punctured balloon, instantly becoming listless.
It felt as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant.
At that moment, Lin Yu's eyes were dull and lifeless, lacking the brilliance they once held, resembling a defeated fighting cock that could no longer muster any fighting spirit.
"Host, please believe that victory and defeat are common occurrences in battle! A single loss does not signify eternal failure.
We must never give up lightly. As the old saying goes, 'As long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood.'
As long as we hold onto our beliefs and do not abandon or give up, a comeback will surely be just around the corner!
Think of Yue Wang Gou Jian; he suffered the shame of losing his country but endured humiliation and hardship to ultimately achieve his goal of restoring his nation.
And look at Han Xin; he once endured great humiliation but, with unyielding perseverance and extraordinary wisdom, became a renowned general."
"They are all exemplary figures who have endured numerous hardships yet still manage to rise resiliently!"
The System, known as Inverse Light, continuously inspired the host with passionate and hopeful words, its tone akin to a warm ray of sunlight breaking through layers of dark clouds on a winter day.
"Inverse Light, you make such a valid point! I really shouldn't give up so easily! I must grit my teeth, pull myself together, and defeat that guy Jiang Chen decisively! I want him to understand that I, Lin Yu, am not a weakling to be bullied!"
Lin Yu clenched her fists, her gaze resolute and sharp. The fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes burned like a fierce flame—intense and enduring, seemingly never to be extinguished.
"Haha, that's more like it! Host, this is the Lin Yu I know—full of vitality and indomitable spirit!
Don't forget who we are! We are determined to reach the pinnacle of the business world and become the undisputed queen! How could such a minor setback possibly bring us down?"
The System, Inverse Light, spoke with a beaming smile and great excitement: "Haha, this is wonderful! It truly brings me immense joy, much like a diligent teacher finally witnessing their student achieve enlightenment." Its words were filled with deep joy and satisfaction.
Beside them, Lin Yu appeared confused and bewildered. She eagerly asked, "Inverse Light, what should I do next?
Right now, I feel like a headless fly lost in the vast sea of commerce, flailing around without any direction."
Lin Yu's eyes sparkled with a strong desire for knowledge, much like a child eager for learning.
At that moment, the System, Inverse Light, calmly yet confidently offered advice: "Host, given the current situation, our first step is to thoroughly and comprehensively plan the company's development strategy while deeply exploring and identifying new breakthrough points.
At the same time, you must continuously work on enhancing your business acumen and overall capabilities. After all, there's an old saying: 'To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!' Only by doing so can we gather enough strength for a powerful counterattack in the future and turn the current unfavorable situation around."
Its words exuded a professional and confident demeanor, resembling an experienced and insightful business consultant strategizing for their client.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu nodded without hesitation: "Alright! I will certainly heed your advice!"
"Then, please elaborate on what specific actions I should take," he said, his gaze fixed ahead with unwavering determination, his eyes filled with absolute trust in the System, "Inverse Light." He looked just like a loyal warrior attentively listening to a general's battle orders.
"First, we need to analyze the company's strengths and weaknesses, identify our core competitiveness. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle..." the System, "Inverse Light," began to explain in detail, its tone filled with patience and thoroughness, like a teacher guiding a student.
In the following days, Lin Yu locked herself in her office, deeply engrossed in her studies like a monk in meditation. She diligently learned about business knowledge, researched market trends, analyzed competitors, and formulated new development strategies, keeping herself busy.
She absorbed knowledge and information like a sponge, striving to enhance her abilities with even more dedication than before her college entrance exams.
The System, "Inverse Light," remained by her side, assisting her with various data and analysis reports to help her make wiser decisions—more attentive than Siri.
"Host, I believe we can try entering the New Energy Vehicles sector. This field has vast market potential and relatively low competition; it presents a great opportunity for our development," the System suggested with a hint of excitement in its voice.
"New Energy Vehicles? The technical barriers are quite high, and it requires substantial capital investment. Do we have the capability to enter this market? Can you build cars?" Lin Yu asked hesitantly; after all, this was no trivial matter.
"Host, there's no need to worry! I have a way! I can help you exchange for a core technology that will allow you to master the essential skills of New Energy Vehicles in a short time. While others build cars, we will create 'hearts.' How does that sound? Impressive, right? Surprising?" the System said confidently, a hint of pride in its tone.
"Really? That's fantastic! Inverse Light, you’re truly my savior! I love you!" Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation like a child who had just received their favorite toy.
"However, host, let me be clear: to exchange for this technology, you need to complete a task. Every gain comes at a cost; it's only fair," the System added seriously.
"What task? Climbing mountains or crossing rivers is no problem!" Lin Yu declared boldly, embodying the spirit of a heroine.
"You need to increase the company's performance by fifty percent within one month," the System stated slowly, its tone flat yet carrying an undeniable authority.
"What? Fifty percent? That's too difficult! Are you trying to kill me? In one month? Chen Qie can't do that!" Lin Yu exclaimed in disbelief; it felt like an impossible task.
"Host, I know this is challenging, but it's also an opportunity for growth. I believe you can accomplish it! You must believe in yourself; you are the best!" the System encouraged her with unwavering trust.
"You are really pushing a duck onto a perch! Fine, I accept the challenge! It's just fifty percent, right? Let's go for it!" Lin Yu said firmly, her eyes filled with determination, embodying a spirit of resolute commitment.
For the next entire month, Lin Yu seemed to be infused with endless energy, like an unflagging perpetual motion machine, entering a jaw-dropping frenzy of overtime work.
She appeared completely immersed in her work, dedicating herself wholeheartedly and without reservation, neglecting food and sleep.
Each day, she allowed herself a pitiful four hours of sleep, making her look more relentless than emotionless robots!
During this challenging yet fulfilling time, Lin Yu fully demonstrated her exceptional leadership skills.
She personally led the entire team in meticulously planning and formulating a series of targeted and effective marketing strategies, proactively striving to expand the vast market space with an all-or-nothing approach.
At the same time, she spared no effort in urging everyone to work together to enhance product quality and competitiveness, leaving no detail unexamined for potential improvement.
To achieve the grand goal of improving the company's performance, Lin Yu truly exhausted her brain and explored every feasible method. It was indeed a case of "the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their own abilities!"
However, this arduous process was far from smooth sailing; it was fraught with numerous obstacles and tricky challenges.
At times, the immense pressure nearly crushed Lin Yu, filling her with a deep sense of despair.
Yet even in such difficult circumstances, she never entertained a thought of retreat or giving up.
On the contrary, she steadfastly clung to the unquenchable flame of belief in her heart, resolutely holding on to her established goals. Even when faced with rugged paths and thorny obstacles, she remained undaunted. With tenacious willpower and an indomitable spirit, she moved forward step by step, steadily advancing.
Heaven rewards those who are diligent!
After a month of relentless toil and struggle, Lin Yu ultimately fulfilled this daunting task as she had hoped.
Even more astonishing was that through her and her team's relentless efforts, the company's performance skyrocketed, achieving a remarkable fifty percent increase!
Without a doubt, this was a classic business miracle, and Lin Yu was the primary architect of this achievement!
"Congratulations, host! Task completed! You can now exchange for the core technology! Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting? Happy?" the System, Inverse Light, announced joyfully, as if it had just won the lottery.
"That's fantastic! Hurry and help me with the exchange! I can't wait!" Lin Yu exclaimed, feeling like an astronaut about to land on the moon.
"Alright, host. Core technology is being exchanged... Please wait a moment; don't go away. After the advertisement, we will be right back..." The voice of the System, Inverse Light, echoed again with a hint of mystery.
Lin Yu felt a powerful surge of energy flooding into her mind as countless technical documents and data flashed before her eyes like a fast-forwarded movie, leaving her dazzled.
In an instant, she felt transformed into a technical expert, mastering the core technology of New Energy Vehicles. This sensation was incredible—like enlightenment that opened up her mind and spirit.
"Host, the core technology has been successfully exchanged. Now, you can truly showcase your talents! Go ahead, Pikachu!" the System, Inverse Light said with anticipation in its tone.
Lin Yu clenched her fists, her eyes filled with confidence and determination, resembling a general ready for battle—graceful and imposing.
She knew she was ready to embark on a new journey and create new brilliance!
Jiang Chen, just wait and see! I will make you pay for this! Lin Yu silently vowed in her heart, her gaze flickering with the flames of revenge as if she intended to burn away all obstacles in her path.
