Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Shen Yu sat on the sofa in his office, arms crossed, brow furrowed. Outside, the midsummer heatwave blazed, but inside the office, a chilling atmosphere permeated. While the counterattacks of the past few days had yielded some results, Zhao Shufang's public opinion offensive had temporarily put them on the defensive. He knew that relying solely on funding and public opinion wouldn't solve the problem. A decisive strike was necessary.

"Mr. Shen, Zhao Shufang seems to have started adjusting her strategy." Liu Kai knocked on the door and walked in, holding a document in his hand. His tone was calm. "She is using a series of unconventional means to speed up cooperation with other companies. In particular, negotiations with several upstream suppliers are nearing completion."

Shen Yu sneered, "She finally couldn't help herself and started to move. This is not a bad thing." He stood up from the sofa, walked to the window, and looked at the night view outside. "Liu Kai, tell me, what direction is she planning to break through?"

Liu Kai unfolded the document and pointed out several key points. "Her contracts with several upstream suppliers are almost finalized, primarily with raw material suppliers, especially those specializing in the high-end market. Zhao Shufang has strong resource integration capabilities in this area, which also provides a guarantee for her next step."

Shen Yu's eyes were sharp. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "It seems she has already prepared a strategic layout step by step." He chuckled, "However, her high-end market plan may pose a certain threat to us, but it is also her biggest vulnerability."

"Mr. Shen, what you mean is..." Liu Kai looked at him with a little confusion.

Shen Yu turned around, his eyes filled with determination. "I know what she's going to do. She wants to consolidate her position through strong market dominance, but she's overlooked a key point—she doesn't have complete control over her upstream suppliers."

He patted the table and said in a low but firm voice: "We need to start with the supply chain, break her resource monopoly, and force her to reconsider her strategy."

Liu Kai's eyes lit up, as if he had realized something. "I understand, Mr. Shen. We'll start with the supply chain, disrupting her sources of funds and materials, forcing her to compromise under external pressure and internal difficulties."

"That's right." Shen Yu nodded. "Get ready for action. If there's any problem with her resource flow, we'll immediately take the next step."

Meanwhile, Zhao Shufang wasn't complacent, as Shen Yu had anticipated. She was in her private office, overlooking the bustling city through a large glass window. A faint smile graced her face, and she appeared unusually calm. Although Shen Yu's counterattack had created some pressure in public opinion, she wasn't in a rush to act. She knew the true outcome would be determined in the ensuing battle.

"Boss Zhao, Shen Yu's counterattack is gradually intensifying." The assistant came in and handed over a report. "His company seems to be using financial means to rectify its capital chain and has begun to put pressure on our partners."

Zhao Shufang sneered, "Shen Yu thought he could use funds to disrupt me? He's so naive." Her tone was calm, but her eyes gleamed. "I've long anticipated his little tricks, but what Shen Yu knows is always just the tip of the iceberg."

She turned and looked out the window, her eyes deep, as if she was thinking about something important: "The more Shen Yu is eager for quick success, the more his weaknesses are exposed. I don't need to fight him head-on, but to lead him into the abyss."

She lowered her head and dialed a number. A gentle but firm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Zhao, do you have any instructions?"

"If you continue to push forward with your plan, every step Shen Yu takes will become his own stumbling block." Zhao Shufang said in a cold tone, "Once our resources are reintegrated, he will never be able to turn things around.

Shen Yu's actions continued. Although he knew Zhao Shufang had been preparing behind the scenes, he still decided to take a crucial step: disrupting Zhao Shufang's supply chain to force her to act. He personally convened the top management of the finance and strategy departments and began to carefully study how to gradually weaken Zhao Shufang's core competitiveness by controlling her resource channels.

"What we need to do is precisely strike her supply chain without any warning from her perspective," Shen Yu said in a deep voice. "This isn't just a financial operation. We need to mobilize all available resources to disrupt her from multiple directions."

He paused and said softly, "Liu Kai, please contact the company's technical department and arrange an investigation into Zhao Shufang's supplier as soon as possible to find any loopholes she may have."

Liu Kai nodded, his expression serious: "Mr. Shen, you mean..."

"We'll start with her suppliers." Shen Yu sneered. "Although her part of the industrial chain may seem perfect, every link in the chain is prone to breakage. We must ensure that these loopholes are discovered and exploited to carry out precise strikes."

A few days later, Zhao Shufang's plan began to unravel. Shen Yu's team's investigation was progressing smoothly, uncovering hidden financial loopholes in Zhao Shufang's dealings with some of her suppliers. These loopholes, while seemingly insignificant, could, if magnified, cause a chain reaction throughout her supply chain.

"Mr. Shen, several of Zhao Shufang's key suppliers are experiencing problems." Liu Kai, holding a new report, looked excited. "We've discovered that some of her suppliers aren't as financially stable as they appear, and some are even experiencing cash flow issues."

A cold light flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. "Very good, keep an eye on these suppliers. If there's a problem with her supply chain, Zhao Shufang will have to face the dilemma she's been avoiding."

He tapped the table lightly, a flicker of determination in his eyes. "Our next move is to exploit these loopholes and completely destroy her resource chain before she even realizes it."

Zhao Shufang didn't underestimate Shen Yu's counterattack. Although she had anticipated that Shen Yu would resort to resource attacks, she didn't think it would pose much of a threat to her. She believed that her control over resources was strong enough, and every counterattack by Shen Yu only helped her control the situation.

However, she did not expect that Shen Yu had already quietly begun to lay out his plan to break the deadlock.
