Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Shen Yu sat in his office chair, brow furrowed. A mountain of documents piled before him, and the air around him seemed frozen. His fingers tapped unconsciously on the desk, each tap a reminder of the urgency of time. The world outside was still bustling. The stock market's fluctuations, the pressure of public opinion, and Zhao Shufang's relentless pressure all made him feel like he had nowhere to escape.

He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. "I can't be passive like this anymore," he whispered to himself.

This struggle for power and profit was no longer simply a business competition for Shen Yu. Zhao Shufang wasn't just trying to destroy his company; she was also steadily weakening his psychological defenses. Every setback made him realize more clearly that only by completely controlling the situation could he achieve ultimate victory.

"Mr. Shen, the situation isn't good." Liu Kai pushed the door open and walked in, his tone tinged with anxiety. "The shareholders' attitudes are becoming increasingly clear, and many are starting to waver. Zhao Shufang's public opinion offensive is getting stronger, and our financing plan is also being affected."

"I know." Shen Yu's voice remained calm, as if he had anticipated all this. "Her goal is not only to destroy my financial situation, but also to dismantle our trust system through these means. But I won't give in easily."

Liu Kai frowned, "Boss Shen, what options do we have left?"

Shen Yu didn't answer, but simply stared at the document in front of him, lost in thought. After a few seconds, he finally spoke, "We must find a way to fight back, not just with funds, but also with public opinion. Right now, the most important thing is to break her psychological advantage."

"Break her psychological advantage?" Liu Kai was stunned. "Mr. Shen, what you mean is..."

"We need to show everyone that Zhao Shufang isn't omnipotent." A cold glint flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. "We need to exploit her vulnerability, shatter her confident facade, and create distrust within her alliance. We must make her understand that any so-called advantage is nothing but a fragile fabric."

"Mr. Shen, what are you going to do?" Liu Kai stared at him.

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the distant city skyline. "Right now, the most crucial thing is to exploit the rift between Zhao Shufang and her backers. I've already learned about the movements of some of her shareholders, and next, we plan to divide her alliance. Her advantage lies in her control of external resources, but she's unaware of the destabilizing factors behind these resources."

"You mean, Zhao Shufang's supporters are not all solid?" Liu Kai's expression changed slightly.

"That's right." Shen Yu nodded. "The partners she relies on have many conflicts of interest. If we disrupt any of them, Zhao Shufang's plan will be immediately affected. I plan to use the intelligence I have to make her supporters suspicious, and maybe even make them withdraw on their own initiative."

Liu Kai's eyes lit up instantly. "Mr. Shen, you are truly far-sighted. If this trick succeeds, Zhao Shufang's strategy will completely collapse."

Shen Yu's lips curled up slightly. "We must not only rely on external counterattacks, but also disrupt her internal situation. The more she controls resources, the more likely she will fall into dependence on them. Once we undermine her support, all her efforts will be in vain."

Liu Kai nodded, already having a plan in mind. "Mr. Shen, what are we going to do next?"

"I will personally meet with several key shareholders and pass on the message to them." Shen Yu's tone was remarkably firm. "At the same time, we also need to further shift public opinion and shatter Zhao Shufang's external image. Let the forces behind her see that she is not invincible."

"I understand." Liu Kai quickly took action.

A few days later, Shen Yu's plan began to unfold. He personally met with several key shareholders and revealed insider information about Zhao Shufang's partners. While this information wasn't direct evidence, it was enough to shake those shareholders and make them question Zhao Shufang's true motives.

Meanwhile, subtle shifts began to unfold within Zhao Shufang's organization. Disagreements began to emerge between her team and some key supporters, with some questioning her management style and arguing that her strategy was overly radical and even risky. Zhao Shufang was unaware that these internal rifts were quietly undermining her position.

"Mr. Zhao, Shen Yu seems to be making some moves." Zheng Kai walked in with some concern. "He has recently started to pass information to our shareholders through some channels."

Zhao Shufang's face darkened. "I knew he wouldn't give in easily. Although Shen Yu appears calm on the surface, he must be getting anxious inside." A gloomy light flashed in her eyes. "But I don't care about this little trick."

"Mr. Zhao, the problem is that Shen Yu's actions have begun to shake some shareholders." Zheng Kai's tone became more nervous. "Moreover, he seems to be preparing to use some means to break the trust within our alliance."

Zhao Shufang's expression turned serious. "What do you mean? He actually dared to challenge my alliance?"

"Yes." Zheng Kai nodded. "It seems that Shen Yu has obtained some intelligence about our partners and is preparing to use it to launch a counterattack."

Zhao Shufang's brow furrowed, clearly realizing the gravity of the situation. "He's clever, using this information to divide us. But he still underestimated me," she sneered. "However, his counterattack is exactly what I was planning. Shen Yu thought he could break my alliance with these tactics, but he didn't realize that everything he's doing is actually giving me a better chance to strike back."

Zhao Shufang's eyes became sharp. She had realized that this game was not only a battle between funds and shareholders, but also a battle of minds.

Shen Yu's counterattack has begun, and Zhao Shufang has also been prepared. The next battle will be the decisive moment between the two.
