My Ares Son-in-Law

However, this talisman is not affected by any external factors. Its power comes from ancient and mysterious spells and runes, which cannot be matched by those high-tech products.

After completing all the preparations, Xiao Chen began his practice. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, his breathing seemed to resonate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

His heart was filled with tranquility and peace, as if the noise and disturbance of the outside world had nothing to do with him. However, he was not completely immersed in cultivation, but always kept his attention and vigilance on Lin Youya.

Soon, night fell and the lights came on.

Lin Youya ended her busy day and drove Xiao Chen to the hotel that Cao Xuan had booked. The hotel was brightly lit and bustling with people. However, behind this prosperity, there were unknown conspiracies and dangers.

"Keep this talisman close to you," Xiao Chen handed it to Lin Youya, his eyes flashing with determination, "You don't have to take it out. As long as that kid dares to be frivolous with you, it will take effect. Don't worry, I'll be waiting nearby. If anything really happens, I will rush there as soon as possible."

His tone was full of concern and protectiveness for Lin Youya, as if she was the most important person in his life.

Lin Youya nodded gently, and carefully kept the talisman that contained Xiao Chen's care and power close to her body, as if it was her most precious amulet.

She looked at Xiao Chen with deep gratitude in her eyes. Her bright eyes sparkled with warmth, as if to say, "Thank you. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

If she didn't have a reliable friend like Xiao Chen by her side, she really didn't know how she would face everything that might happen next. Many things would become extremely difficult, or even impossible to start.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Youya mustered up her courage, took a firm step, and walked into the hotel that was brightly lit but made her feel vaguely uneasy.

Her back looks particularly upright, as if telling the world that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, she will not back down.

In the hotel's private room, the lights were soft and dim, creating a private and warm atmosphere. However, for Lin Youya, the private room seemed to have become a psychological shadow, and every time she stepped into it, she became nervous unconsciously.

But this time, she told herself that she had to be brave, for the company and for herself.

The door of the box was gently pushed open, and Lin Youya walked in. Cao Xuan was already sitting there, wearing a straight suit, looking serious, with a seemingly sincere smile on his face, looking righteous, as if he had no idea what was about to happen.

He stood up and politely extended his hand to signal, "Boss Lin, please take a seat. Because what we are discussing today is quite private and involves some of the company's core secrets, I did not bring anyone else with me. I hope this will make you feel more comfortable."

There was some sincerity in Cao Xuan's words, but Lin Youya did not completely let down her guard. She knew that the real intention behind this dinner might not be as simple as it seemed.

Lin Youya nodded gently, and the uneasiness in her heart became less intense because she knew that Xiao Chen was silently guarding her in a corner nearby.

She reached out and gently touched the talisman hidden close to her body, feeling the warmth and strength from Xiao Chen, took a deep breath, and slowly sat down.

Her back was straight, and her eyes revealed a kind of determination and calmness, as if telling herself that no matter what happened next, she had the ability to face it. The atmosphere in the box gradually became relaxed after the two of them exchanged simple greetings. Cao Xuan picked up the menu skillfully and began to order. He looked at Lin Youya with a smile and asked, "Mr. Lin, what would you like to drink today? Or how about some red wine to liven up the mood as before?"

Lin Youya smiled slightly and nodded, but she was secretly alert in her heart.

She knew that red wine in this situation was often more than just a drink, but more likely a test or a signal. The waiter quickly brought a bottle of exquisite red wine, opened the bottle cap skillfully, and then carefully poured a glass for each of them.

The red wine sparkled with an alluring luster under the light, but Lin Youya only took a sip and put down the glass, remaining sober and alert.

In the following time, the two began to chat about everything, from the latest industry trends to the operating conditions of their respective companies, to their outlook and plans for the future.

Business flattery and polite words echoed in the box, seemingly relaxed and joyful, but in fact there was an undercurrent. Lin Youya knew in her heart that all this was just a prelude, and the real competition was still to come.

Finally, after some seemingly endless chit-chat, the topic gradually turned to the main topic.

"Team Leader Cao, is there any hope for this situation?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in Lin Youya's voice. She was well aware of the seriousness of the incident, and her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and helplessness.

She bowed slightly and folded her hands lightly on the table, as if trying to express her sincerity and pleading with this gesture.

"As you know, our company has so many employees whose livelihoods depend on this job. If production is really stopped for two months, the impact will be huge.

If it really comes to that, we will not only face the dilemma of not being able to deliver many orders on time, but also have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages, which will undoubtedly make things worse for our company."

At this point, Lin Elegant's tone revealed a hint of bitterness. She sighed softly and continued:

"Moreover, the most troublesome thing is the product recall. Although our company is not very large, we have a certain share in the market and the number of products sold is quite considerable.

If a full recall is really necessary, it will not only be very costly, but more importantly, it will seriously damage our company's reputation and customer trust. By that time, I'm afraid the company will really be finished..."

She choked up a little, but then she mustered up the courage to make her request: "Of course, I understand that you attach great importance to product quality, and I believe that the products we sell are of excellent quality.

So, I would like to ask, can we only recall the products that were recently produced? This will not only reduce our burden, but also minimize the impact.

I know this request may be a little excessive, but I came here today for these reasons. If I don't speak up, I will definitely not get anything done. Team Leader Cao, I hope you can understand our difficulties and give us a chance to make amends. "

Lin Youya's eyes were full of expectation and pleading. She stared at Cao Xuan's eyes, hoping to catch a hint of relaxation or understanding from his expression. (End of this chapter)
