Chapter 448 Her Decision
With the board vote finalized, Lin Chuyue finally secured her position within the Gu Group. However, she knew this didn't mean everything would go smoothly. On the contrary, this was just the beginning; the real test would come from what followed.
While handling her busy work affairs, Lin Chuyue also kept a close eye on the internal changes within the company. She knew that she was in a precarious position, and the slightest carelessness could lead to her downfall.
There was a gentle knock on the office door. Lin Chuyue looked up and saw her capable assistant, Jiang Ke.
"President Lin, there are some things I think you should know." Jiang Ke's expression was somewhat serious as she walked in and handed over a document.
Lin Chuyue took the document and opened it. Several names were clearly written on it—these were all important figures from Shen Fang's former subordinates. What surprised her even more was that the document listed some specific action plans. It was clear that these people had begun to secretly plot within the company, and were even planning to oppose Lin Chuyue behind the scenes.
"Aren't these people afraid of President Gu's reaction?" Lin Chuyue asked coldly.
A hint of worry flashed in Jiang Ke's eyes: "They may think that President Gu's current stance is not firm enough and that he could still be taken advantage of."
Lin Chuyue frowned, deep in thought. This document was a warning to her, a warning that the forces that had once been by Shen Fang's side had not completely disappeared and still wielded considerable influence over the Gu Group.
She put down the documents, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Do they think I'll be intimidated? This game has only just begun."

Gu Yanchuan's contradiction
At this moment, Gu Yanchuan was also facing immense pressure. Although he appeared calm and composed, his inner turmoil was intensifying.
Gu Yanchuan knew that Lin Chuyue's rise meant a new force had entered the Gu Group, a force that was not entirely under his control. He had once thought that his cooperation with Lin Chuyue would bring stability, but as time went on, he gradually found himself pushed into a dangerous situation.
He stood in front of his desk, his brow furrowed, gazing at the night outside the window. Suddenly, his phone vibrated, and a familiar name appeared on the screen—Li Hao.
A cold glint flashed in Gu Yanchuan's eyes. He didn't answer the phone immediately, but waited quietly for a few seconds. Li Hao, one of Shen Fang's former subordinates, was now a major threat to him.
He finally pressed the answer button, "Li Hao."
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "President Gu, we need to have a serious talk about Lin Chuyue."
Gu Yanchuan sneered: "What do you want to say?"
“I know you’re considering how to balance the relationship between Lin Chuyue and the group,” Li Hao said with a hint of provocation. “But I can tell you, Lin Chuyue is not as simple as you think. She has strong backing, and this is not just a matter for a family business.”
A flicker of hesitation crossed Gu Yanchuan's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. "What are you trying to say?"
Li Hao's voice softened: "President Gu, we can join forces to completely turn this situation around. There are still resources we can utilize behind Lin Chuyue."
Gu Yanchuan fell silent. He knew that Li Hao's suggestion wasn't entirely unreasonable. Although Lin Chuyue's reasoning seemed sound, her support within the company was unstable. If they could leverage external resources, they might achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"I'll think about it some more." Li Hao's voice faded into the distance on the other end of the phone.
Gu Yanchuan hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and felt his inner conflict intensify. Cooperation versus confrontation seemed to be his most difficult choice at the moment.

Lin Chuyue's counterattack
Meanwhile, Lin Chuyue did not stop her actions. She understood that any contest required both caution and decisiveness. She had already noticed that Shen Fang's old subordinates were stirring up trouble behind the scenes, and if these people were not eliminated, they would definitely affect her future plans.
"Jiang Ke, contact the key executives in the company and arrange a private gathering," Lin Chuyue said calmly, her voice tinged with coldness. "I need to make sure these people are on my side."
A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Ke's eyes, but she still nodded in agreement: "Understood, President Lin."
Lin Chuyue's eyes held a resolute glint. She never felt she was fighting alone, but she also knew that if she didn't prepare early, the alliance between Gu Yanchuan and Shen Fang's former subordinates could become her greatest threat.
Her plan was quite simple: to strengthen her power base by uniting with key figures on the board. Moreover, she understood that this was not an ordinary struggle, but a fight to secure her place within the power structure of the Gu Group.

Boardroom intrigue
Finally, the gathering arranged by Lin Chuyue and Jiang Ke took place as scheduled. The participants were the core senior executives of the Gu Group. Everyone gathered in a private room, and the atmosphere was serious and oppressive.
Lin Chuyue sat regally in the main seat, smiling as she exchanged pleasantries with each of the senior executives. She knew that these people cared not only about her future but also about her position within the group. Therefore, this gathering was not merely a simple exchange, but also a moment for her to demonstrate her resolve.
"Everyone, Shen Fang is gone, but we must clean up the mess she left behind," Lin Chuyue said, her tone firm and calm. "Now is the time for us to take control of the future of the Gu Group."
These high-ranking figures seemed unsurprised by Lin Chuyue's words, but they still harbored some suspicion and uncertainty. After all, although Shen Fang's power had crumbled, many people still had doubts about Lin Chuyue.
However, Lin Chuyue did not give them time to think, but continued, "I want to make the Gu Group a truly powerful and independent enterprise, not dependent on anyone. Whether it is Shen Fang's former subordinates or other external forces, anyone who dares to touch me will be severely punished."
Her voice gradually rose, filled with authority, instantly silencing all dissent in the room. Those who had previously harbored doubts began to nod secretly.
"If you choose to stand on my side, then the future Gu Group will belong to you." Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, her gaze profound.
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire private room fell silent. A hint of contemplation and hesitation appeared on the faces of the executives, but more than anything, their expressions showed approval and anticipation.
At this moment, Lin Chuyue had completely taken control of the situation.

Gu Yanchuan's choice
Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan was facing an even more complex choice. Li Hao's proposal clearly appealed to him, but deep down, he was still unwilling to easily abandon Lin Chuyue.
He stood by the office window, gazing at the distant city, knowing full well that he could no longer avoid this struggle.
"I have to make a choice no matter what." Gu Yanchuan took a deep breath and made his decision.
