Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Following Shen Yu and Li Jialin's decision, the company's various plans began a new round of adjustments. Behind the scenes, Zhao Shufang and Duan Yu's actions were like an invisible net that could encircle them at any time.

Shen Yu stood by the large window in his office, gazing at the brilliantly lit city outside, a heavy feeling welled up in his heart. The situation had recently become increasingly tense, not only from the combined pressure of Zhao Shufang and Duan Yu, but also from other competitors who were also stirring up trouble. Clearly, they realized the market was shrinking, and the competition among them was intensifying.

"Mr. Shen, Zhao Shufang has proposed a new cooperation plan." Li Jialin walked in, holding a thick document. As she handed it to Shen Yu, her expression was somewhat serious. "The conditions this time are even more stringent than last time. It's almost like we're in an impossible situation."

Shen Yu took the document, flipped through a few pages, and frowned: "She is trying to force us into a corner."

"Yes, she seems to have made thorough preparations. Not only has she increased her financial demands, but she's also attached clauses that put us in a passive position in almost every area," Li Jialin said. "If we agree to these conditions, the company's future independence will be greatly limited."

Shen Yu took a deep breath, put the document aside, and looked at us intently: "It seems that she wants to force us to completely compromise in this way."

"Mr. Shen, what you mean is..." Li Jialin hesitated.

Shen Yu's eyes flickered in the neon lights outside the window: "We can't compromise. Now, Zhao Shufang has given us a difficult problem, which is precisely our best opportunity to fight back."

"You mean, we should take the initiative and force her?" Li Jialin was slightly surprised.

"Yes." Shen Yu nodded. "If we agree to her terms now, although we may be able to maintain the cooperation in the short term, in the long run, the company's independence will be seriously affected. Therefore, we must take advantage of this and take action."

A glint flashed in Li Jialin's eyes. "Boss Shen, are you saying that by rejecting her request, we can force her to make more concessions?"

"It's more than just a concession." Shen Yu's tone became firm. "We need to let her know that Shen Yu is not someone who can be oppressed casually."

Meanwhile, Duan Yu wasn't sitting idly by. Although he didn't directly intervene in the confrontation between Shen Yu and Zhao Shufang, he knew that their collaboration would eventually impact his own interests. After all, Shen Yu's company was beginning to gain prominence, gradually becoming his biggest rival in the market.

Duan Yu sat in his office, tapping his fingers lightly on the desk, his expression calm. His assistant came in with a new report.

"Mr. Duan, there's been some new development in the cooperation between Shen Yu and Zhao Shufang." The assistant handed the report to Duan Yu and whispered, "Zhao Shufang has proposed new conditions. These conditions appear to be favorable to Shen Yu, but they're actually a trap. If Shen Yu accepts them, his future development will be limited."

Duan Yu raised his eyebrows, took the report, and quickly flipped through it. "As expected, Zhao Shufang is very capable. She wants to completely control Shen Yu's company through this cooperation."

The assistant nodded. "But Shen Yu doesn't seem to be willing to compromise. She already has a plan to fight back, and might even take the initiative to create trouble for Zhao Shufang."

"Shen Yu..." Duan Yu's lips curled up slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, "She is indeed a worthy opponent. Her counterattack plan may be able to break Zhao Shufang's calculations."

He was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "If Shen Yu really takes action, then we must be prepared. Contact my resources and prepare to respond to Shen Yu's counterattack."

Shen Yu knew Zhao Shufang's demands were far from easy to accept. Each of her proposals was the product of careful calculation. She looked at the document before her, pondering how to break it. She knew that only by taking the initiative could she seize control of the situation.

"Li Jialin, contact the core personnel within the company immediately and prepare a counterattack plan. I have made some adjustments. We will no longer rely solely on Zhao Shufang's cooperation, but we must show our own strength and let her see our confidence." Shen Yu said firmly.

"I understand." Li Jialin quickly picked up the phone and started contacting the relevant departments.

Shen Yu turned and walked to a nearby bookshelf, picked up a thick business book, and began flipping through it. She knew that this business game was doomed to leave no room for compromise. She had to demonstrate sufficient strength to make all her opponents dare not underestimate her.

"Mr. Shen, your plan is ready." Li Jialin walked in with a document. "We are ready to confront Zhao Shufang head-on."

"Very good." Shen Yu took the document and examined it carefully, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "Li Jialin, our goal is to make Zhao Shufang realize that she is not the only option. We are not afraid of confronting her."

She said in a deep voice, "Next, we will prepare for a meeting with Zhao Shufang to demonstrate our sincerity, but we must also let her know that she is not the only one at the negotiation table."

After Zhao Shufang received Shen Yu's counterattack, a sneer appeared on her face. She had long expected that Shen Yu would not compromise easily, but she was not worried. She had prepared a series of countermeasures that could easily deal with Shen Yu's counterattack.

"Li Yun, Shen Yu's counterattack is nothing special." Zhao Shufang said calmly, standing in front of the French window. "Although she is smart, she still lacks decisiveness."

Li Yun stood behind her respectfully: "Mr. Zhao, Shen Yu's counterattack is very strong. She is obviously no longer the Shen Yu who easily compromised before."

Zhao Shufang sneered, "It's truly remarkable that she's achieved what she has today. But it's precisely because of this that she's trapped in this situation. We only need to apply a little pressure, and she'll inevitably pay the price for her choice."

She turned around, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Prepare for a meeting with Shen Yu and give her a chance to 'cooperate'. Let her know that Zhao Shufang is not someone who can be challenged easily."

Shen Yu stood at the conference table, looking around at the executives, a clearer plan in mind. In the upcoming negotiations, she not only had to strive for the greatest benefit for the company, but also made Zhao Shufang understand that Shen Yu was by no means an easily controlled pawn.

"This struggle has just begun." Shen Yu's tone was calm, but revealed endless determination.

Li Jialin nodded: "Boss Shen, we will definitely do our best."

At this moment, Shen Yu felt unprecedented pressure, but also extremely determined. She knew that no matter how difficult it was, she would forge her own path and not be bound by anyone.

The storm has quietly arrived.
