Su Wanwan stood in front of the Xingchen Investment Company building and took a deep breath. This was her last hope. If this negotiation failed, the company might really be unsustainable.

Pushing open the glass door, Su Wanwan walked into the spacious and bright hall.

"Hello, I'm Su Wanwan from Su Group. I have an appointment with General Manager Lin." She said to the receptionist with a smile.

A few minutes later, Su Wanwan was taken to a meeting room. Not long after, a burly, smiling middle-aged man walked in.

"Hello, Miss Su. I am Lin Zhiqiang." He stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically.

Su Wanwan shook hands with him, "Hello, Mr. Lin. Thank you very much for meeting me."

After the two sat down, Lin Zhiqiang said straight to the point: "Ms. Su, I heard about your company's recent difficulties. But I value your technical strength and future potential more."

Su Wanwan smiled slightly, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lin. We did encounter some difficulties, but this does not affect our core competitiveness."

In the next two hours, Su Wanwan introduced the company's technical advantages, market prospects and future development plans in detail. Lin Zhiqiang listened very carefully and asked some sharp questions from time to time.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Zhiqiang's eyes flashed with approval, "Ms. Su, your analysis is very convincing. I think we have a lot of room for cooperation."

Su Wanwan was delighted, but she remained calm. "That's great, Mr. Lin. We can discuss the specific investment details further."

Lin Zhiqiang nodded, "No problem. But before that, I need to discuss it with my team. You know, this is a big decision and needs careful consideration."

Su Wanwan nodded in understanding, "Of course, I totally understand. I look forward to hearing from you."

After leaving Xingchen Investment Company, Su Wanwan felt a glimmer of hope. Although she had not received a definite answer, she at least had a potential investor.

However, just as she was about to get in the car, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Miss Su, what a coincidence."

Su Wanwan turned around and saw Cheng Yuan standing not far away with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Mr. Cheng," Su Wanwan said calmly, "Why are you here?"

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, I have some business dealings with Xingchen Investment. It seems that you are also very interested in them?"

Su Wanwan's heart was filled with alarm, but she remained calm on the surface. "It is inevitable that we will have intersections in the business world. Mr. Cheng, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

She turned to leave, but was stopped by Cheng Yuan.

"Ms. Su," Cheng Yuan's voice suddenly became serious, "I'll give you another chance. If you voluntarily give up control of the company, I can give you a considerable amount of compensation. Otherwise, you may lose more."

Su Wanwan stopped but didn’t look back. “Mr. Cheng, I think I’ve made it very clear. The Su Group will not succumb to any threats.”

Cheng Yuan sneered, "Don't be too confident, Miss Su. Do you think your father's matter is over? I advise you to think carefully about what made him choose to commit suicide."

Su Wanwan turned around abruptly, with a flash of anger in her eyes, "Mr. Cheng, please don't mention my father again."

Cheng Yuan shrugged, "Okay, I'm just giving you some advice. Time is running out, Miss Su. Think about it carefully." After that, he turned and left, leaving Su Wanwan standing there, her heart full of confusion and uneasiness.

After returning home, Su Wanwan felt more exhausted than ever before. She slumped on the sofa, closed her eyes, and replayed everything that happened today in her mind.

Suddenly, she remembered something and opened her eyes abruptly. Her father's study! She had never been there since her father's death. Perhaps there would be some clues there.

Su Wanwan stood up and walked towards her father's study. When she opened the door, a faint scent of sandalwood hit her face. Everything in the room remained the same as when her father was alive, as if time had stopped here.

She slowly walked to the desk and began to look through it. The drawers were filled with ordinary documents and books, nothing special. Just as she was about to give up, her fingers accidentally touched a bulge under the desk.

Su Wanwan's heartbeat quickened, and after careful inspection, she found that it was a hidden mechanism. She pressed it carefully, and the tabletop suddenly popped open, revealing a secret compartment.

Inside lay an old-looking notebook.

Su Wanwan picked up the notebook with shaking hands and opened the first page. It read: "If anyone finds this notebook, it must be the person I trust the most. The following records a conspiracy that may shock the entire business community."

Her heart beat faster. She continued to read on. The notebook recorded a series of complex business transactions and capital flows. It mentioned a code name "Phoenix Project" many times, which seemed to be the core of the whole conspiracy.

What shocked Su Wanwan even more was that the names of Cheng Yuan and Xingchen Investment were mentioned many times in the notes. It seemed that they both played an important role in this conspiracy.

Suddenly, a photo from the notebook fell out. Su Wanwan picked it up and was surprised to find that it was a photo of her father and Cheng Yuan. On the back of the photo was a line of small words: "Last chance, I hope it won't be too late."

Su Wanwan's brain worked rapidly, trying to connect all the clues. She finally understood why Cheng Yuan had been pursuing the Su Group and why her father chose to commit suicide.

This wasn't just a business competition, it was a huge conspiracy, and her father may have paid with his life trying to stop it.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Huo Yanshen.

"Wanwan, where are you? I have something important to tell you." Huo Yanshen's voice sounded anxious.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath, "Huo Yanshen, I also have an important discovery. We need to talk."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Huo Yanshen said and hung up the phone.

Su Wanwan looked at the notebook in her hand and knew that she was on the verge of a major discovery. This notebook could change everything, but it could also put her in greater danger.

She must make a choice: keep the secret deep in her heart, or bravely reveal the truth?

No matter which path she chooses, Su Wanwan knows that from this moment on, her life will change completely. And this mysterious notebook will become her strongest weapon against the conspiracy of the business world.
