Su Li's face turned pale instantly. The email contained a project plan of Gu Group that had not been made public yet, and it was sent a few days before the summit.

"How could this happen..." Su Li muttered to herself, her hand holding the phone trembling slightly. It was obvious who was the initiator of this email.

Gu Jinyan's face was gloomy, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He grabbed the phone and ordered his assistant in a cold tone: "Check it immediately, I want to know who did it!"

The atmosphere at the summit was particularly solemn. Gu Jinyan gave a speech on behalf of Gu Group, and the audience was filled with entrepreneurs and industry experts from all over the world. However, the originally expectant eyes now had a bit more scrutiny and suspicion.

At this moment, a sharp voice broke the silence of the conference room. "Mr. Gu, is it true that your company has leaked trade secrets? Will this affect your company's credibility in cooperating with us?"

The speaker was a short, fat middle-aged man who was one of the organizers of the summit. His aggressive tone and sharp questions made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.

Su Li's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She knew that this was a conspiracy carefully planned by a competitor with the purpose of completely destroying the Gu Group.

Gu Jinyan looked calm. He glanced at the crowd calmly and said in a deep voice, "I believe that everyone here is a discerning person. Rumors stop at wise people. We reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility for malicious slander."

However, the matter did not end there. The organizer of the summit seemed determined to give the Gu Group a head start. He pressed on, constantly asking tricky questions, and even questioned the strength of the Gu Group in public.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li responded calmly, defusing each other's attacks one by one. However, they both knew in their hearts that this was just the calm before the storm.

As night fell, the organizers of the summit held a grand dinner at the hotel. There were many people drinking and chatting, but behind the seemingly lively scene, there were hidden undercurrents.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan were holding wine glasses, wandering among the crowd, dealing with people from all sides. Suddenly, a familiar figure blocked their way.

"Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu, long time no see." The representative of the partner raised his glass with a fake smile, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "I heard that the Gu Group has encountered some troubles recently. I wonder if it will affect our cooperation?"

The words of the partner representative were as sharp as a knife, piercing the hearts of Su Li and Gu Jinyan. Su Li's fingers holding the wine glass tightened slightly, and her knuckles turned a faint white, but she still maintained a decent smile on her face and responded calmly: "Mr. Wang, you are joking. It's just a small disturbance. It won't affect our cooperation. Don't you agree, Jinyan?"

Su Li turned her head and threw the question to Gu Jinyan. Gu Jinyan's deep eyes swept over the representatives of the partners, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Of course, I always keep my promises. Gu Group will do its best to ensure the smooth progress of the project."

"Of course I believe what Mr. Gu said," the representative of the partner adjusted his glasses, his eyes sparkling, "However, there are so many discussions outside right now, and we are also under a lot of pressure. For the stable progress of the project, I hope Mr. Gu can solve the problem in a short time and give all partners a satisfactory explanation."

"I understand what Mr. Wang wants." Gu Jin said calmly, but with an unquestionable firmness. "Please rest assured, we will give everyone an explanation soon."

After the dinner, Su Li and Gu Jinyan found an industry expert who had been following the developments during the summit. The expert looked serious and handed them a document: "This is the information I compiled overnight, analyzing the current public opinion situation and potential risks. I think what you need to do most now is to take the initiative and solve the problem openly and transparently to regain the trust of your partners."

"What you mean is..." Su Li frowned slightly, as if he understood what the expert meant.

"Hold a press conference and face the media's questions honestly," the expert said firmly, "and at the same time, take practical actions to thoroughly investigate the leak and give the public an explanation. Only in this way can we stabilize the morale of the troops and gain the initiative."

Gu Jinyan pondered for a moment, and a hint of determination flashed in his deep eyes: "Okay, I understand. We will hold a press conference as soon as possible and handle this matter openly and transparently."

Back in the hotel room, it was already late at night. Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat opposite each other, both of them looked extremely solemn.

"Things are more difficult than we thought," Su Li broke the silence, "Our competitors are clearly well prepared and want to take this opportunity to completely defeat us."

Gu Jinyan nodded, his deep eyes flashing with coldness: "This incident is definitely not accidental. There must be someone behind the scenes manipulating all this."

"The most urgent task is to find out the truth of the leak as soon as possible and find the mastermind behind it." Su Li said firmly, with a determined light in his eyes. "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative!"

Gu Jinyan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the flashing neon lights outside the window, and said in a low but firm tone: "You are right, we can't let others manipulate us. This time, we will make them pay the price!"

The next morning, the public relations department of Gu's Group began to get busy. Su Li and Gu Jinyan held an emergency internal meeting to discuss response strategies...

The morning sun shines through the French windows and fills the conference room on the top floor of Gu Group. Su Li and Gu Jinyan sit side by side at the conference table, both of them look extremely serious. On the conference table, documents are piled up like a mountain, and the air is filled with a tense atmosphere.

"This incident has had a huge negative impact on our company," Gu Jinyan said in a low but powerful voice, looking around at the executives present. "But it is especially at times like this that we must unite and face the challenge together."

"I have asked the legal department to start collecting evidence and prepare to sue the person responsible for leaking trade secrets," Su Li added, "At the same time, the public relations department must also formulate a crisis public relations plan as soon as possible to restore the company's reputation."

An emergency meeting was held in a tense but orderly atmosphere. The heads of various departments expressed their opinions and proposed solutions to the crisis. Su Li and Gu Jinyan listened carefully to everyone's opinions and finally decided to solve the problem in an open and transparent way.

That night, a grand business dinner was held at a five-star hotel in the city center. Elites from all walks of life gathered together, toasting and chatting. As the helmsman of the Gu Group, Gu Jinyan naturally became the focus of the whole audience.

Amidst warm applause, Gu Jinyan walked onto the stage. He had an upright posture, a firm gaze, and exuded a powerful aura with his every move.

"Good evening, everyone," Gu Jinyan said in a deep and magnetic voice. "First of all, I would like to thank you all for your continued support and trust in Gu Group."

"Recently, a very unpleasant incident occurred in our company," Gu Jin said in a heavy tone, "Our business secrets were leaked, causing certain losses to the company and our partners. Here, I would like to express my deepest apologies to all the partners affected."

Below the stage, the originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Jinyan.

"After our internal investigation, we have found out the truth about the leak," Gu Jinyan paused and continued, "This incident was completely an accident caused by the malicious behavior of a few employees and has nothing to do with the overall operation of the company."

"We feel deeply saddened and remorseful for this incident. We have taken strict measures, dealt severely with the relevant responsible persons, and will strengthen internal management to prevent such incidents from happening again."

"In the future, Gu Group will continue to uphold the philosophy of honest business operations, strengthen communication and cooperation with partners, and jointly create greater value." Gu Jinyan's tone was firm and powerful, and his speech won warm applause from the audience.

After the dinner, the partners' representatives did not leave, and there was still a trace of doubt on their faces. Seeing this, Su Li walked towards them with a glass of wine...

The noise of the dinner gradually faded away, but the air was still filled with the scent of champagne and perfume. Su Li held a wine glass and elegantly shuttled among the crowd. Her eyes were sincere and her smile was appropriate. Every partner representative who talked to her could feel the confidence and determination she exuded.

"Mr. Wang, don't worry. This incident was just an accident and will not affect our cooperation." Su Li held up a glass and clinked glasses with a slightly hesitant partner representative. "You also know that the Gu Group has always been known for its integrity in the industry. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Mr. Li, I understand your concerns now." Su Li said sincerely, "But please believe that we have found the root cause of the problem and have taken effective measures. This crisis has made us see our own shortcomings and made us pay more attention to trust and communication with our partners."

Su Li had in-depth communication with each partner representative. She patiently explained the ins and outs of the incident and sincerely expressed Gu Group's willingness to make up for the losses and continue cooperation. Her professional attitude, sincere words, and confidence in the future gradually dispelled the doubts of the partner representatives.

"Ms. Su, I believe in the strength of Gu's Group, and I also believe in your character." A representative of the partner raised his glass with a relieved smile on his face, "I believe that we can overcome the difficulties together and create greater glory."

"Thank you for your trust. We will definitely not let you down." Su Li raised his glass in return with a gratified smile on his face.

Gu Jinyan stood not far away, quietly watching Su Li talking with the representative of the partner. He saw her calmness, her wisdom, and her efforts to protect the Gu Group. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, his eyes full of admiration and love.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came from the crowd...
