Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Sunlight streamed through the glass windows of a high-rise building onto Duan Yu's desk, his brow furrowed slightly. The documents in his hands clearly weren't keeping him focused. His eyes occasionally flicked to the phone on the corner of his desk, as if he was waiting for something.

Finally, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the office. Duan Yu pressed the answer button, his voice still calm: "What's up?"

Shen Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of ridicule: "Boss Duan is so busy, are you thinking about the next move?"

Duan Yu's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Miss Shen is right. It seems that you are also very clear about the situation."

Shen Yu chuckled. "You're not an ordinary person, as you can detect changes so quickly. So, regarding the last meeting, has Mr. Duan considered our proposal?"

"Are you referring to the cooperation with Zhao Shufang?" Duan Yu did not answer immediately, but asked.

Shen Yu's tone was somewhat provocative: "Of course. However, whether you stand on Zhao Shufang's side or on my side, Mr. Duan's choice is very important."

Duan Yu put down the documents in his hand, glanced out the window, and whispered, "Ms. Shen, the game has begun. Next, let's see who can go further."

Shen Yu didn't say anything else, just smiled softly. She knew that Duan Yu's choice at this moment would directly determine her future. When she hung up the phone, she had already made her own plans.

Shen Yu put down the phone, her eyes wandering across the table. She wasn't just testing Duan Yu today; she was also trying to use this opportunity to further suppress Zhao Shufang. She knew full well that Zhao Shufang now had a lot of resources under her control, and if Duan Yu continued to support her, the situation would become very complicated.

"Li Jialin." Shen Yu suddenly said, "Contact Zhao Shufang and let her know the bottom line of cooperation."

Li Jialin walked into Shen Yu's office and nodded in response, "I understand. Are you planning to put pressure on Zhao Shufang?"

Shen Yu's lips curled up slightly: "Of course. If she doesn't want to cooperate, then she will have to suffer the consequences."

Li Jialin thought for a moment and stepped forward: "I'll arrange a meeting. We have to be careful then. Zhao Shufang's current power cannot be underestimated."

Shen Yu smiled calmly: "I know, don't worry, just take it one step at a time."

Meanwhile, Zhao Shufang was in a conference room at the company's headquarters, discussing with her team how to deal with the pressure from Shen Yu and Duan Yu. In front of her was a detailed document outlining Shen Yu's movements in recent months and her various interactions with Duan Yu.

"Shen Yu, you're truly an old fox." Zhao Shufang sneered, "She's been suppressing me all along, and today she even dared to go back on her word and force me to compromise."

An assistant spoke cautiously, "Mr. Zhao, Shen Yu might be here to put pressure on you today. She'll ask us to make some compromises, perhaps to reshape the landscape of our cooperation."

Zhao Shufang's eyes widened: "Does she really think I will give in?"

She stood up suddenly and glanced at the team members present: "Contact her, I want to see what tricks she is trying to play."

The assistant nodded, quickly picked up the phone, and prepared to take action.

Soon after, Shen Yu and Zhao Shufang met in a private room at a high-end restaurant. The atmosphere was tense and oppressive, with neither of them giving in, their words filled with probing and hints.

Zhao Shufang sat at one side of the dining table, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Shen Yu sharply: "Ms. Shen, I heard that you have been very active recently. I wonder what your purpose is?"

Shen Yu leisurely picked up the water glass and took a sip. "Purpose? I just want to discuss cooperation with Mr. Zhao. You know, I'm always looking for a win-win situation."

Zhao Shufang's lips curled up slightly. "Win-win? I heard that Miss Shen has been interested in Duan Yu recently. I wonder if you can combine his intentions with our cooperation?"

Shen Yu's smile remained unchanged. "I'm afraid only Duan Yu knows his intentions. However, Mr. Zhao, since you mentioned Duan Yu, I won't be polite." She paused. "I already understand Duan Yu's current position. If Mr. Zhao doesn't want to be dragged into this, he should consider adjusting his strategy."

Zhao Shufang's eyes turned cold. "What do you mean? How dare you threaten me?"

Shen Yu chuckled softly. "Threat? I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you think you can better control the situation by standing on the same boat with Duan Yu, then I have nothing to say. But if you think you can fight alone in this game, then don't blame me for being cruel."

Zhao Shufang's expression changed. She stared at Shen Yu with a flash of anger in her eyes. "Do you think I'll be scared by you? Shen Yu, you underestimate me too much."

Shen Yu still smiled, his tone calm: "Mr. Zhao, I just want to remind you that on the chessboard, only those who make wise choices can live longer."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Both of them knew that today's conversation was not just a simple discussion of cooperation, but a test of each other's bottom line.

Duan Yu sat on the sofa in the office, staring at the live broadcast of the meeting on his mobile phone screen, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

He did not directly intervene in the negotiations between Shen Yu and Zhao Shufang, but continued to collect intelligence through external information and silently observed their actions.

"Shen Yu is indeed not an easy opponent to deal with," he whispered. "She calculated every move very precisely. Perhaps Zhao Shufang really underestimated her."

At this moment, the office door suddenly opened and the secretary walked in. "Mr. Duan, we have a grasp of Shen Yu's situation. She is indeed putting pressure on Zhao Shufang and intends to use Mr. Duan's connections to promote cooperation."

Duan Yu nodded: "Keep paying attention. We will decide on our actions after their chess game is revealed."

The confrontation between Shen Yu and Zhao Shufang gradually entered a more complex phase. Each side carefully adjusted its pace, trying to maximize its own benefits. Meanwhile, Duan Yu remained firmly on the sidelines, observing every move in the game.

Shen Yu's plan became increasingly clear, and Zhao Shufang had already begun to respond. In this game, there was no turning back; only a steady stream of offense and defense.

In this complex power struggle, it remains unknown who will have the last laugh.
