Lin Yu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to get a decent night's sleep.
Every time she closed her eyes, the chaotic pile of debts at the company flooded her mind, pressing down on her like an insurmountable mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.
The morning sunlight seeped through the cracks in the curtains and fell on Lin Yu's face. She slowly woke up, feeling an unbearable soreness in her eyes and a heavy fog in her head.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes vigorously and slapped her cheeks hard, hoping to shake off the daze as quickly as possible.
“Inverse Light, what am I supposed to do? The state of the company is even worse than I anticipated!”
Lin Yu's face was filled with worry, her tone laced with helplessness as she vented to the system.
At that moment, a cheerful and clear voice rang in Lin Yu's mind: “Don't be disheartened, host! As they say, ‘There’s always a way out!’ And don’t forget, you still have me, your super invincible golden finger!”
It was Inverse Light speaking, trying to cheer Lin Yu up.
However, Lin Yu merely sighed deeply and replied, “Aside from spouting empty words here, can you actually do anything useful?”
Upon hearing this, Inverse Light felt a bit wronged. It protested loudly, “Hey! How can you say that about me? I’m really quite capable!”
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, showing a completely skeptical expression as she challenged, “Oh really? Then tell me, what exactly makes you so capable?”
Caught off guard by Lin Yu's question, Inverse Light stuttered slightly, its voice losing some confidence: “I... I can definitely help you analyze the current situation of the company and identify the root causes of these problems!”
Lin Yu rolled her eyes dramatically, her face filled with disdain and impatience as she retorted sharply, “Hmph! Do I really need you to tell me that? Even if I closed my eyes and thought about it with just my toes for a moment, I could guess that most of these issues are likely due to serious financial problems!”
Upon hearing this, Inverse Light quickly chimed in, flustered as he added, "Um... if you're willing, I can help you exchange for some really amazing items!
For example, there's a magical thing called 'Fire-Eye Golden Vision.' Once you have it, you'll be able to easily see who is lying and deceiving you! How cool is that?"
Lin Yu's previously dull eyes instantly sparkled with excitement and anticipation as she eagerly urged, "Wow, that sounds incredibly awesome!
Hurry up and get me one of those 'Fire-Eye Golden Visions'! I can't wait to test its power!"
However, Inverse Light wore a troubled expression and helplessly reminded her, "Oh dear, my good host, don't forget that exchanging for such powerful items requires quite a lot of points!
And the number of points in your account is nowhere near enough!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu slapped her forehead and exclaimed in realization, "Oh no! How could I forget something so important!
I'm practically a broke person right now!" Her mood instantly soured, and she deflated like a punctured balloon, mumbling dejectedly, "What am I going to do now? Am I just going to watch the company fall into trouble without any way to help? It's so frustrating!"
At that moment, Inverse Light's eyes lit up as if he had suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. He quickly comforted her, "Don't lose heart, my dear host! Although you currently lack enough points to exchange for items, there are other ways to consider!
I think you should start by examining the company's financial reports closely. You might discover some hidden clues within!"
Lin Yu felt as if she had been enlightened by his words. She nodded vigorously and said, "You're right! That approach does sound reliable!
Without further ado, I'll open my computer right now and pull up all the financial reports to analyze them carefully. Maybe I can find the key to solving the problem!"
With that, she swiftly took action, sitting down at her desk and skillfully operating her computer. Soon enough, she pulled up a thick stack of financial reports and immersed herself in intense analysis.
"Hey? What is this payment about? There's not even a note!" Lin Yu furrowed her brow, pointing at the lonely figure on the report with a puzzled expression.
Beside her, Inverse Light quickly reminded, "Host, I find this sum of money quite suspicious. It would be wise for you to investigate further."
Lin Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Inverse Light's assessment. She was determined to delve into the mystery surrounding this payment and uncover the truth behind it. Without hesitation, she dialed the phone number of the company's financial supervisor.
"Hello, is this the financial supervisor? I would like to inquire about a particular entry on the report that lacks any notes. Could you explain what this expenditure is for?" Lin Yu asked directly.
However, the financial supervisor on the other end sounded flustered and stumbled over his words, struggling to provide a coherent answer to Lin Yu's questions.
Moreover, Lin Yu keenly noticed the evasion and unease in his eyes, causing her to scoff inwardly: This guy is definitely hiding something!
Yet, Lin Yu did not confront the financial supervisor outright; instead, she continued to patiently press for more information.
After some persistent questioning, she finally managed to extract some crucial clues from the supervisor's tightly sealed lips.
"So that's how it is..." Lin Yu realized after hearing his explanation. "This payment was actually embezzled by a relative of the former boss! No wonder the previous management was so disastrous!"
With this thought, a surge of anger ignited within Lin Yu. She silently vowed to get to the bottom of this matter and restore justice for the company.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the vital evidence in her hand and swiftly made her way to the local police station.
Each step she took was firm and resolute, as if carrying the weight of justice and determination.
When she personally handed over the evidence to the police, a sense of relief washed over her, but it was accompanied by a twinge of anxiety—wondering if this would truly lead to appropriate punishment for that despicable former boss and his relatives.
However, as time passed, good news finally arrived: those who had broken the law were brought to justice, and righteousness prevailed.
At last, Lin Yu's tightly wound nerves began to ease.
However, she was well aware that the numerous challenges facing the company had not simply vanished. The sudden rupture of the financial chain loomed like a deep crack in front of her, plunging the company's operations into an unprecedented deadlock.
Internal management was in utter chaos, with various rules and regulations rendered meaningless, resulting in low work efficiency.
Moreover, the morale of the employees had plummeted due to long-standing issues, leaving the entire team fragmented and disorganized.
Despite this, Lin Yu had never shown a hint of retreat.
She understood clearly that in order to revive this once-glorious company, she would need to invest even more effort and dedication.
The road ahead might be fraught with thorns, but she firmly believed that as long as she persevered, she would overcome all difficulties.
At that moment, a familiar and warm voice echoed again: “Host, don’t lose heart. I have always believed that with your ability and determination, you will surely succeed!” Inverse Light's words were like a spring breeze, providing Lin Yu with immense encouragement.
She nodded slightly, her gaze resolute as if she could pierce through the heavy fog before her and see the dawn of victory.
“That's right, I will succeed!” Lin Yu murmured to herself while casting her eyes out the window.
Before her, a fiery red sun was slowly rising, its golden rays spreading across the land, bringing boundless vitality and hope to all living things.
Just as Lin Yu was immersed in her beautiful visions for the future, a crisp knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
“Come in,” she responded softly.
The office door was gently pushed open, and a young woman dressed in a neat business suit entered with light steps.
This woman was none other than the company's financial assistant, Xiao Lih. She had an attractive appearance and carried herself with elegance and poise, clearly a capable and astute individual.
“President Lin, here is today’s financial report for your review,” Xiao Lih said respectfully as she handed over the thick stack of documents to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu accepted it with a blank expression, casually flipping through the pages. Though she appeared indifferent, her sharp gaze missed no detail.
Suddenly, her eyes seemed to be drawn to a particular figure, locking onto it with intensity.
She frowned slightly, raised her head, and pointed at the number, her face filled with suspicion as she asked Xiao Lih, “Wait a minute, what is this amount?”
At these words, Xiao Lih’s previously calm demeanor changed drastically. Her face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she struggled to articulate a complete thought. “This... this is...”
“Speak up! Don’t stutter!” Lin Yu's voice rose sharply, cold enough to chill the air. Her piercing gaze bore down on Xiao Lih, causing the latter to shiver involuntarily.
Under such immense pressure, Xiao Lih could no longer hold it together; her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Taking a deep breath, she finally summoned the courage to speak. “President Lin, I’m sorry, it’s my fault... I actually misappropriated this money without permission.”
The moment those words left her mouth, it was like thunder crashing in Lin Yu's ears. She widened her eyes in disbelief at her usually diligent subordinate, and a surge of anger flared within her.
“Really? You dare to do something like this behind my back! I’ve treated you well, but you repay my kindness with betrayal—deceiving the company and me!” Lin Yu's chest heaved with rage as her voice grew hoarse from anger.
“President Lin, I know I was wrong; I truly understand now! I was momentarily blinded and made this grave mistake!” Xiao Lih fell to her knees with a thud, crying uncontrollably as tears streamed down her once-pretty face.
However, Lin Yu remained unmoved.
Furiously pointing at Xiao Lih, she shouted, “Momentarily blinded? Do you think saying ‘I was momentarily blinded’ will let you off the hook? Do you realize that your greed and selfishness could lead to immeasurable financial losses for the entire company?”
Faced with Lin Yu's reprimand, Xiao Lih buried her head deeply into her arms like a frightened ostrich, too afraid to look up or say another word.
The office fell into a heavy silence, broken only by Lin Yu's labored breathing and Xiao Lih's occasional sobs, creating an atmosphere so oppressive it was almost suffocating.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, as if trying to draw in all the air around her, then slowly exhaled.
With her eyes tightly shut and her hands clenched into fists, her nails nearly digging into her palms, she fought to suppress the raging anger within her.
She knew that this was not the time to vent her emotions; the urgent task at hand was to devise a foolproof plan to rectify the damage that had already been done.
After a fierce internal struggle, Lin Yu finally forced herself to calm down. She opened her eyes and fixed a piercing gaze on the person before her—Xiao Lih. She spoke clearly and forcefully, “You will return the money, and I will consider this matter as if it never happened.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lih seemed to grasp a lifeline, nodding eagerly with a face full of fear and regret, promising that she would return the money immediately.
Seeing Xiao Lih's sincere attitude eased Lin Yu's tense heart slightly, but just a little.
Although she had managed to recover the loss, this incident served as a heavy alarm bell ringing in Lin Yu's mind.
It made her acutely aware of the serious flaws in the company's current management practices. If these issues were not promptly addressed and improved, similar situations would likely continue to arise one after another.
With this thought, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a wave of apprehension wash over her.
“Inverse Light, it seems I have my work cut out for me,” Lin Yu murmured as she gazed into the distance.
Just then, a gentle yet firm voice echoed in her mind: “Host, please rest assured. I believe you will handle these issues well!” It was the encouragement and support from Inverse Light.
With Inverse Light's affirmation, Lin Yu nodded slightly, her eyes shining with unwavering determination as she replied resolutely, “That's right; I will make it happen!” With that, she turned away and directed her gaze toward the bustling city outside the window.
The towering skyscrapers, the endless flow of vehicles and pedestrians, and the vibrant neon lights all came into view.
At that moment, Lin Yu felt a surge of strength and determination coursing through her body.
She silently vowed to do everything in her power to restore order within the company and establish a scientific, reasonable, and effective management system.
She would use her wisdom and hard work to breathe new life into this company, which had once fallen into despair, ultimately transforming it into a legendary enterprise that would stand out in the entire business realm!
Just then, Lin Yu's phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Lin Yu hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
“Hello, is this Lin Yu, President Lin?” A man's voice came from the other end of the line.
“Yes, this is she. May I ask who you are?” Lin Yu replied.
“I am President Wang. Do you remember me?” The man's voice carried a hint of menace.
Lin Yu's heart sank. President Wang? The creditor? What did he want?
“President Wang, is there something you need?” Lin Yu asked calmly.
“President Lin, it seems you have forgotten that you owe me money,” President Wang said.
Lin Yu scoffed inwardly; she had known he was calling to collect a debt!
“President Wang, we have discussed this before. I will repay you as soon as possible,” Lin Yu stated.
"How soon is 'soon'? I can't wait that long!" President Wang said impatiently.
"President Wang, how about this? I promise to pay you back next month," Lin Yu replied.
"Next month? Do you think I'm a fool? You'll definitely come up with excuses to delay again!" President Wang sneered.
"President Wang, I'm being sincere this time. I..." Lin Yu tried to explain, but was interrupted by President Wang.
"Enough talk! I'll give you three days. If I don't see the money by then, you'll face the consequences!" President Wang said before hanging up the phone.
Lin Yu held her phone tightly, her face pale with anger.
Three days? That's way too short!
Where am I supposed to get that much money now?
Am I really going to have to sell myself?
No, she absolutely wouldn't give up!
She had to find a way to resolve this crisis!
