Chapter 103: New Challenges of Rebuilding the Glory  

 The conference room fell into a brief silence, and the elders looked at each other in bewilderment. The reform plan proposed by Dai Shiya was like a thunderclap that shocked them for a while. Finally, the eldest uncle was the first to break the silence and said thoughtfully: "Shiya, your plan is really insightful. We old guys really need to change some of our rigid thinking. I agree with your plan."

With the first supporter, other elders also expressed their approval, and Dai Shiya's reform plan was finally passed unanimously.

Since then, under the leadership of Dai Shiya, the family business has started a revolutionary change. A new management system was quickly established, various rules and regulations were improved, and the work enthusiasm of employees was greatly mobilized. Dai Shiya knew that talent was the core of corporate development. She broke the routine and boldly used a group of capable and thoughtful young people to inject fresh blood into the company.

As Dai Shiya's most trusted friend and assistant, Wei Qing always stayed by her side and gave her advice. The two often worked until late at night to discuss the future development direction of the company. With their joint efforts, the family business gradually got out of trouble.

New investors were attracted by Dai Shiya's courage and the potential of the company and invested in it. The company's financial situation improved greatly and the stock price began to rise steadily. Family members witnessed Dai Shiya's ability and determination with their own eyes, and their previous doubts and contempt for her disappeared, replaced by trust and admiration.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but Dai Shiya did not dare to slack off. She knew that rebuilding the glory of the family business was only the first step, and the road ahead was still long and full of unknown challenges.

"Shiya, look at this." Wei Qing held a report with a serious look on her face, "The R&D department..."

"The R&D department has made a breakthrough in the development of new products," Wei Qing handed the report to Dai Shiya, with a hint of excitement but also a little worry in her tone, "three months ahead of schedule."

Dai Shiya took the report, quickly glanced through it, and a pleased smile appeared on her face. "Great!" She exclaimed, "It seems that our incentive mechanism is indeed effective. Notify the R&D department to hold a celebration banquet tonight. I want to personally congratulate them."

On the day of the new product launch, the venue was packed with reporters from various media outlets. This product combines the latest scientific and technological achievements, has unique functions and humanized design, and perfectly meets market demand. After the launch, orders came in like snowflakes, the family business's market share rebounded significantly, and its stock price soared all the way to a record high.

Dai Shiya stood in front of the French window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city, feeling a sense of accomplishment. The efforts of the past few months have finally paid off, and the family business has finally returned to its peak.

"Shi Ya, do you feel that it's too quiet lately?" Wei Qing walked to her side with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

Dai Shiya frowned slightly and turned to look at Wei Qing: "Quiet? You mean..."

"Those family members who had previously made things difficult for you and embezzled public funds," Wei Qing lowered her voice, "have all become unusually low-key since you took power. They are so honest that it's unbelievable."

Dai Shiya hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Indeed, they have been quite quiet recently. Perhaps they have seen that the situation is hopeless and dare not act rashly anymore."

"I hope so," Wei Qing looked out the window, a trace of uneasiness flashing in her eyes, "I always feel that things are not that simple. They may be brewing some conspiracy in secret."

Dai Shiya patted Wei Qing on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry. We will fight back when the enemy comes and block the water with earth. As long as we do our own things well, we are not afraid of any tricks they play."

In the following days, driven by new products, the family business continued to grow in performance, and Dai Shiya gradually focused on the company's future strategic layout. She actively expanded overseas markets and began to lay out new industrial chains, striving to build the family business into a diversified, international modern enterprise.

One night, Dai Shiya and Wei Qing were working overtime in the office. It was dark outside the window, with only a few lights flickering from the tall buildings in the distance.

"Shiya, look at this." Wei Qing pointed to an industry analysis report on the computer screen, her face solemn, "Recently, several competitors have been very active, they seem to be..." Before Wei Qing finished her words, the lights in the office suddenly flickered a few times, and then went out completely, and the whole room fell into darkness. Dai Shiya stood up suddenly, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked outside. In the distance, the lights of several high-rise buildings also went out at the same time, and the night became even darker, as if something was stirring in the darkness. "It seems..." Dai Shiya said in a low voice, with a gleam of light in her eyes.

"It seems that the good show has just begun." Dai Shiya said in a low voice, with a complex light flashing in her eyes, with excitement and worry.

Outside the window, the lights in a large area went out. It was not a simple power outage, but more like a premeditated action. Wei Qing quickly turned on her phone to check the news and social media, but found that the network signal was also extremely unstable and it was almost impossible to load any information. This abnormal phenomenon further confirmed Dai Shiya's guess: the competitor had already started to act.

"They cut off the power supply and disrupted network communications in an attempt to create chaos and disrupt our deployment." Wei Qing analyzed, with a hint of solemnity in her tone.

Dai Shiya nodded, walked to the desk, and picked up a document. "They have joined forces to block our domestic market, share technology, and form a technological barrier, trying to trap us in the country." She said in a deep voice, "This is just the beginning, and they will take more drastic measures next."

"We must find a breakthrough as soon as possible." Wei Qing walked to the map and scanned the areas marked with different countries and regions. "The international market is our only way out."

In the following days, Dai Shiya and Wei Qing worked almost non-stop, studying the market conditions, policies and regulations, cultural differences, etc. of various countries. They contacted overseas consulting companies, hired professional legal advisors, and promoted the international market expansion plan step by step.

However, it is not easy to expand into the international market. Language barriers, cultural differences, complex policies and regulations, and the strong position of local competitors all pose huge challenges to them. Dai Shiya knows that this is a tough battle and that if she is not careful, she will lose everything.

Just when Dai Shiya was preparing to study the Southeast Asian market in depth, she received an anonymous letter. There was no sender information on the envelope, only a few simple words: Be careful, there is a ghost around you.

Dai Shiya opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. On the letter were a few lines of typewritten text: I know a secret about your family business, a secret that could put it in a desperate situation again. If you want to know, check the archives from 20 years ago. Remember, don't trust anyone.

Dai Shiya read the contents of the letter several times, and her heart was in turmoil. Files from 20 years ago? What secrets did the family business have? Who sent this letter?

She immediately thought of the family members who were dissatisfied with her. Could it be them? But why did they remind her in this way? Or was this a trap?

Dai Shiya decided to secretly investigate the secrets mentioned in the letter. The first thing she thought of was the historical archives of the family business. However, the administrator of the archives was a confidant of the family elder and was not friendly to Dai Shiya.

"I'm sorry, Miss Dai, no one can view historical archives without the authorization of the chairman or the board of directors." The administrator rejected Dai Shiya's request in a cold tone.

Dai Shiya patiently explained: "I just want to look up some information and make some reference for the company's future development strategy."

"I'm sorry, Miss Dai, these are the rules." The administrator refused to give in, and there was even a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and turned to leave the archive. She knew that this way would not work. She needed to find another way.

Back in the office, Dai Shiya locked the anonymous letter in a drawer and made a phone call. "Help me check someone..." she whispered, with a hint of determination in her tone.
