Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Shen Yu stood at the office window, gazing at the nightscape of the city before him. The city lights shone like stars, and the traffic was a constant stream, yet he felt a chill rising from the depths of his heart. Zhao Shufang's counterattack was imminent. Her silence these past few days was clearly brewing a greater storm.

His eyes swept across the documents on the table. Behind those meticulous plans and data lay a complex situation. Zhao Shufang seemed carefree, but Shen Yu knew that the most powerful enemy was often the one whose flaws were hard to detect. As she had said before—she knew how to exploit the situation better than anyone else.

"Mr. Shen, have you seen the latest developments?" Liu Kai pushed the door open and broke Shen Yu's contemplation.

Shen Yu didn't turn around, but said calmly: "I've seen it. She has started to act. If nothing unexpected happens, she will launch a full-scale counterattack against us in the next few days."

Liu Kai was silent for a moment, then walked to the table and put down the documents in his hand. "Mr. Shen, our capital chain problem has been alleviated, and our partners have begun to stabilize. Zhao Shufang's chips seem to be solid, but in fact, they are beginning to loosen."

Shen Yu nodded, his expression remaining calm. "Her capital chain is indeed strong, but no chain is unbreakable. The key is finding the right timing." He paused, looking out the window into the distance. "Liu Kai, arrange for increased monitoring of Zhao Shufang's company operations, especially her movements with other partners."

"Yes, Mr. Shen," Liu Kai replied solemnly, "but have you ever considered that Zhao Shufang's counterattack this time might not just be financial? She might also use other means to suppress our image in the media and the public."

"I know." Shen Yu's eyes were sharp. "She not only has the financial advantage, but also public opinion and public image are her trump cards." He paused, as if considering his next move. "We can't simply rely on financial counterattacks. We must have a more strategic deployment."

Liu Kai frowned slightly, "Mr. Shen, what do you mean...?"

"Before we take action, we must disrupt her position first." A gleam flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. "First, we must break her control over the situation and make her feel the real threat."

Meanwhile, Zhao Shufang's office was completely silent. She sat behind her large desk, the computer screen in front of her lit up, illuminating her calm face. Her usual calm, composed voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mr. Zhao, Shen Yu has already begun taking action. He's readjusted the company's financial situation through capital operations and has begun increasing his surveillance of us." The voice on the other end of the line was deep. "He seems to realize that our chips aren't 100% secure."

Zhao Shufang chuckled softly, "I knew long ago that Shen Yu wouldn't give up so easily. He just underestimated my control over this game."

Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if she was pondering some important decision. After a moment, she raised her head slightly and looked out the window into the distance, as if observing everything in the distance.

"If Shen Yu thought I would panic because of his little trick, then he is totally wrong." Zhao Shufang's voice was tinged with a hint of sneer. "Instead, he is about to fall into the trap I set."

She turned to a side bookshelf, picked up a hardcover book, flipped to a certain page, and paused to read for a long time. Then she dialed the phone, her tone cold, "Make arrangements to ensure that all of Shen Yu's actions over the next few days are under our control. This also includes any cooperation he has with the outside world, which must be thoroughly monitored."

Shen Yu's actions continued unabated. He meticulously adjusted the company's internal structure, employing a series of complex financial tactics to infiltrate Zhao Shufang's core interests. However, he also knew that relying solely on these tactics wasn't enough to threaten Zhao Shufang. The real pressure on her was public opinion and public opinion.

"Liu Kai, prepare a negative report on Zhao Shufang, especially her behavior over the past few years," Shen Yu instructed. "We need to create a negative image for her in the public eye and make her feel the pressure from public opinion."

Liu Kai nodded. "Mr. Shen, we can arrange things like this through appropriate channels. I'll contact some media friends and produce relevant reports as soon as possible."

"What I want is a precise strike." Shen Yu's eyes flickered, and his tone was cold. "Let her get herself into an irretrievable predicament amidst public opinion."

Zhao Shufang reacted very quickly. Even though Shen Yu had already deployed his strategy, she remained calm. She knew clearly that Shen Yu's counterattack seemed swift and fierce, but he was just being pushed into a corner, which led him to adopt such an immature response.

Zhao Shufang stood by the window, her arms folded over her chest, quietly observing the city at night. Her gaze through the glass seemed to be examining a battle about to unfold.

"Shen Yu, this time, you really have no chance." She whispered.

She turned and walked to her desk, dialing a number. Her usual calm and unquestionable voice came from the other end of the line: "Your mission is to expedite the operation. We must completely dismantle all of Shen Yu's bargaining chips."

She put down the phone, tapping her fingers on the table, her lips curled up slightly. She had already prepared a more complicated plan, and Shen Yu would be the last victim on her chessboard.

Over the next few days, the situation grew increasingly complex. While Shen Yu's financial counterattack gradually made some progress, Zhao Shufang's public backlash also began to take hold. Negative reports about Shen Yu and his company continued to surface in the media. While much of this information was false or exaggerated, it was enough to negatively impact Shen Yu's public image.

"Mr. Shen, the pressure from public opinion is growing." Liu Kai stood in front of Shen Yu, his brow furrowed. "Zhao Shufang's media manipulation is clearly damaging our reputation. How should we respond?"

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, his eyes stern. "Public opinion is only a temporary weapon. Our counterattack must be more precise."

He paused, his voice low, "Tell all teams to prepare for the next step."
