Lin Yu pushed open the door to the negotiation room, and a wave of cold air rushed at her, reminiscent of the icy demeanor Jiang Chen exuded—cold and distant, keeping others at bay. It felt as if this chill could freeze a person into a statue; honestly, with temperatures like this, it would be a waste not to work as a cooling machine in the Arctic.
Today, she wore a fiery red business suit that was striking and vibrant, like a blazing flame meant to melt away the coldness of the room. Standing amidst the crowd in this outfit, she would undoubtedly be the "single red flower among a sea of green," impossible to overlook. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she encouraged herself inwardly: "Lin Yu, today you are the 'Thanos' at this negotiation table; with just a snap—oh no, just a glance—you’ll make your opponent 'turn to dust'!"
Jiang Chen sat at the opposite end of the long table, clad in a dark suit, his expression impassive like an emotionless robot. This suit was clearly high-end couture, and on him, it was the epitome of the Dominant CEO look. His face was as stern as an iceberg in the Arctic; if the Titanic had collided with him, it would have sunk instead.
"President Jiang, long time no see," Lin Yu said with a confident smile that resembled an elegant cat revealing its sharp claws. This smile conveyed both excitement at seeing an old rival and a hint of provocation. "Jiang Chen, today you’ll witness what it means to face 'sister' at her best!"
"President Lin, I trust you’ve been well," Jiang Chen replied coolly, though his eyes flickered with an imperceptible glint as if assessing his prey. His voice was deep and magnetic, akin to the low strings of a cello that made one’s ears tingle.
The negotiation officially commenced, with both sides exchanging barbs like two armies clashing on the battlefield, neither yielding an inch. To an outsider, it might have seemed like they were engaged in a duel worthy of legends.
With data analysis provided by Inverse Light, Lin Yu had a firm grasp on market trends, much like an experienced fisherman skillfully playing with his catch. She would occasionally cast out bait and then tighten her line, keeping the rhythm of the negotiation firmly in her control. "Inverse Light, you truly are my Zhuge Liang; with you by my side, is there any project I cannot conquer?" Lin Yu thought to herself with satisfaction.
"Host, you flatter me; I am merely doing what I am supposed to do," Inverse Light's voice echoed in Lin Yu's mind, sounding as humble as a well-behaved child.
She pressed on relentlessly, cornering Jiang Chen until he had no choice but to concede. The scene resembled an eagle capturing a chick; no matter how much the chick flailed about, it could not escape the eagle's grasp.
"President Jiang, this condition is non-negotiable—you must agree," Lin Yu stated firmly and authoritatively, like a queen issuing commands. The aura she projected was undeniable; who could witness it without thinking “what sheer dominance!”
Jiang Chen's expression darkened like ancient ice, as if he were about to explode any second. He fixed his gaze on Lin Yu with eyes sharp as knives that seemed ready to devour her whole.
Yet he ultimately relented because he understood that prolonging this standoff would only be detrimental to himself. After all, experience counts for something; Lin Yu was no easy opponent.
"Fine, I agree," Jiang Chen gritted out through clenched teeth as if swallowing a bitter pill. The sound alone made one wince; surely this "bitter pill" tasted worse than canned herring.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, feeling victorious like a general returning triumphantly from battle. "Jiang Chen, look at you now!" she thought gleefully while maintaining an outwardly composed demeanor.
After the negotiation ended, Jiang Chen walked up to Lin Yu, his gaze complex, as if he were reassessing his opponent. In his eyes, there was surprise, reluctance, and a hint of… admiration?
“Lin Yu, you truly are a formidable character,” he said, his tone laced with respect but tinged with a touch of bitterness. It was no small feat for Jiang Chen to utter such words; Lin Yu's performance today had indeed impressed him.
“Likewise, President Jiang,” Lin Yu replied coolly, like a proud queen who would not accept any flattery. She wouldn’t let Jiang Chen’s few compliments cloud her judgment; after all, this was just the beginning, and the real show was yet to come!
She understood that this negotiation was merely the start; the true contest lay ahead. The outcome was still uncertain, and the stakes were high. This business battle resembled a long-running series; although she had won this episode today, who knew what would happen in the next?
Stepping out of the negotiation room, Lin Yu took a deep breath, as if releasing the tension that had built up inside her. This exhale seemed to expel all the stress from earlier, allowing her to breathe in fresh air and prepare for new challenges.
She knew that Jiang Chen would not let her off easily; this war without gunpowder had only just begun. Jiang Chen was notorious for holding grudges, and after suffering such a significant loss today, it would be surprising if he didn’t seek revenge!
Back at the company, Lin Yu immediately convened a meeting to analyze the gains and losses from the negotiation and to formulate the next steps. Her efficiency was remarkable—she managed her time like a master, organizing tasks with clarity.
“Inverse Light, what do you think Jiang Chen’s next move will be?” Lin Yu asked, her eyes filled with curiosity. She felt like an inquisitive child, eager to learn about Jiang Chen’s every action.
“Host, based on my analysis, Jiang Chen may take retaliatory action,” Inverse Light's voice echoed in Lin Yu's mind like a loyal assistant on standby. “He is known for being vengeful; this defeat will surely leave him resentful and looking for an opportunity to retaliate.”
“I understand,” Lin Yu nodded, a glint of cold determination flashing in her eyes like a drawn sword ready for battle. “When soldiers come, I will defend; when water comes, I will block it. I’m ready for him.”
She had prepared herself to face Jiang Chen’s challenge; even if the path ahead were fraught with danger, she would not back down. This spirit and courage truly embodied what it meant to be a Businesswoman!
“President Lin, you’re amazing! You actually managed to take down Jiang Chen!” Her assistant looked at Lin Yu with admiration, stars sparkling in her eyes.
“Haha, this is nothing! There will be even greater challenges ahead!” Lin Yu smiled proudly, as if she could already envision herself standing atop the pinnacle of the business world one day.
“President Lin, what should we do next?” another colleague asked.
“Well, of course, we need to continue expanding our market share so that Jiang Chen won't even be able to see our taillights!” Lin Yu waved her hand and said with great enthusiasm.
In the conference room, everyone was engaged in a lively discussion, exchanging ideas passionately. Lin Yu looked at her team, filled with energy and determination, and felt a deep sense of accomplishment. She knew that the path she had chosen was fraught with challenges but also rich with opportunities. As long as she and her team worked hard together, they would surely create their own business empire!
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Yu gazed down at the city’s nightscape, her heart brimming with ambition, like a warrior ready to embark on a journey, fearless and resolute. The night view was dazzling, with lights twinkling and traffic bustling, as if celebrating her impending victory.
Suddenly, her phone rang, displaying an unfamiliar number. In this day and age, there were too many spam calls; Lin Yu initially hesitated to answer. However, for some inexplicable reason, she pressed the answer button.
After a moment of hesitation, she connected the call.
“Hello, who is this?” She tried to keep her voice calm, but inside she was already anxious. At this hour, from an unknown number—could it be Jiang Chen?
“Lin Yu, long time no see.” A familiar voice came through the phone, laced with a hint of mockery, like a tiger toying with its prey. The voice was deep and magnetic but carried an undercurrent of… wicked charm?
“Who are you…” Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat as if struck by lightning. She recognized that voice all too well—it was…
“What’s wrong? Have you forgotten me so quickly?” The person on the other end chuckled lightly. “It seems President Lin's memory isn’t very good.”
“Jiang Chen?!” Lin Yu blurted out in disbelief. “How did you get my number?”
“Getting your number is a piece of cake for me,” Jiang Chen replied confidently, as if everything was under his control.
“What do you want?” Lin Yu forced herself to suppress her panic and asked coldly. She didn’t want to show any weakness in front of Jiang Chen; after all, it was better to lose face than to lose ground!
"What are you doing? Of course..." Jiang Chen deliberately elongated his tone, "Congratulations, President Lin, you’ve won."
"What... what do you mean?" Lin Yu was baffled by Jiang Chen's sudden "congratulations." What was this guy up to?
"Literally," Jiang Chen replied coolly. "But, Lin Yu, don’t celebrate too soon; the game has just begun."
"You..." Lin Yu wanted to say more, but the line suddenly went dead.
Beep... beep... beep...
"What the hell?" Lin Yu stared at the disconnected call, her brow furrowed. What was Jiang Chen trying to pull? What did this call mean? Was it a show of force? Or perhaps... a declaration of war?
Her heart was filled with confusion and unease. She felt as if she had fallen into a massive whirlpool, with Jiang Chen at the center controlling everything.
"Lin Yu, you must not let your guard down!" she silently reminded herself. "Jiang Chen is not someone to be underestimated!"
She walked to the window and gazed out at the brightly lit city, her heart a mix of emotions. Where would this confrontation with Jiang Chen lead? She didn’t know, nor did she dare to think about it.
But she understood that no matter how many challenges lay ahead, she had to move forward bravely. Because she was Lin Yu, a woman who would never give up!
As night deepened and the city's clamor gradually faded, Lin Yu's heart remained restless. She knew that from this moment on, the war between her and Jiang Chen had truly begun...
