Chapter 167 Game of Chess
Shen Fang's first step upon returning to China was to hold a high-profile investment briefing. At the meeting, she announced on behalf of an international capital institution that it would invest heavily in emerging domestic industries and launch strategic mergers and acquisitions of existing companies in the market.
The media rushed to report on it, and it also caused a stir in the industry. As a former prominent figure, Shen Fang's return naturally attracted a great deal of attention.
At the same time, Lin Chuyue also received a detailed meeting record.
“Investing in emerging industries? That’s just a smokescreen. Her real target is us.” Lin Chuyue put down the document and looked at Gu Yanchuan with a cold gaze. “Her fund flows indicate that she is targeting our core business areas.”
Gu Yanchuan nodded. "That's right. This time, Shen Fang not only has the backing of capital, but she has also reached agreements with some of our former partners. Her return is not just about business competition, but more like a revenge plan."
"It seems she's really impatient." Lin Chuyue sneered, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
Conspiracy revealed
A few days later, the company's new product launch event was suddenly disrupted.
Halfway through the press conference, a commotion suddenly broke out. Several people claiming to be consumers rushed onto the stage, loudly accusing the company of product quality problems and producing so-called "test reports."
The media's flashbulbs frantically captured the chaotic scene, bringing the press conference to a standstill.
Lin Chuyue quickly calmed down, picked up the microphone, and spoke in a steady yet authoritative voice: "Please calm down, everyone. If our company's products truly have a problem, we will definitely take full responsibility. However, may I ask where these gentlemen's test reports came from? Is the testing agency authoritative?"
Her sharp gaze instantly threw the people on stage into a panic.
At this moment, Manager Wang, who was in charge of public relations, also reacted quickly and immediately arranged for security guards to take the people away from the scene, while controlling the direction of public opinion.
After the press conference, Lin Chuyue convened an emergency meeting.
"These troublemakers were arranged by our opponents, but the most crucial question is, how did they know the specific details of the press conference? Is there any possibility of an internal leak?" Lin Chuyue scanned the crowd, her tone cold and sharp.
Wang Peng, who was in charge of security, said in a low voice, "President Lin, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and make sure to find the mastermind behind it."
Lin Chuyue nodded, her tone softening slightly: "This matter has put us all on high alert. The other side has already begun to take action; we can no longer afford to be careless."
Li Zhanchuan's plan
Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan had already begun making preparations in secret. Through his business network, he quickly found out the source of Shen Fang's funds and the list of her partners.
“Shen Fang’s support comes from an international capital company. Although this company is nominally cooperating with her, in reality, she is just a pawn.” Li Zhanchuan handed a document to Lin Chuyue, his tone confident. “As long as we start with this company, we can weaken Shen Fang’s foundation.”
Lin Chuyue took the document, carefully reviewed it, and nodded slightly: "You mean, cut off her funding chain?"
“That’s right. I’ve already discussed cooperation with several banks. As long as Shen Fang’s cash flow runs into trouble, her plan will fall apart.” Li Zhanchuan said calmly, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
Lin Chuyue looked at him, a warm feeling rising in her heart. She whispered, "Zhanchuan, with you here, I really feel much more at ease."
Li Zhanchuan chuckled and ruffled her hair: "Silly girl, I told you I would always be with you."
Undercurrent
Late at night, Shen Fang sat in her new office, holding a glass of red wine, her eyes fixed on the night view outside the window.
"Lin Chuyue... Li Zhanchuan... do you think you can rest easy after winning against me once?" She sneered to herself, "This time, I will make you lose everything."
She put down her wine glass, picked up her phone, and dialed a number: "The operation can begin. Remember, we need to completely cripple Lin Chuyue's company."
The other party responded and quickly hung up the phone.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of Shen Fang's lips. She knew this game had only just begun, and she would never allow herself to fail again.
Battle upgrade
The next morning, the company received more bad news: an anonymous whistleblower letter alleging financial irregularities in Lin Chuyue's company had been sent to the tax authorities.
“This is Shen Fang’s doing.” Lin Chuyue slammed the letter on the table, her gaze icy cold. “She not only wants to attack us from the outside, but also wants to destroy our reputation through such means.”
Wang Peng stood up and said, "President Lin, I will immediately arrange for the team to organize the financial data to ensure that we have no problems."
Lin Chuyue nodded: "This matter must be kept strictly confidential. We must not give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of us."
She pondered for a moment, then said, "Furthermore, since Shen Fang is resorting to any means necessary, we no longer need to show any mercy. We can begin to address the funding issue that Zhan Chuan mentioned."
Li Zhanchuan leaned against the door frame, a playful smile on his lips: "It's finally our turn to fight back."
