Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The atmosphere in Shen Yu's office was unusually solemn. Her eyes remained calm, as if she had seen through the situation, yet deep within her heart was a pool of calculation and determination. Li Jialin stood beside her, holding a freshly compiled report, awaiting Shen Yu's instructions.

"Mr. Shen, Zhao Shufang has sent new information." Li Jialin's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an indescribable sense of oppression. "They've decided to hold formal negotiations with us in three days. The time and place have been confirmed. Their attitude has become even more resolute, and they seem ready for full-scale oppression."

Shen Yu's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was considering how to respond. "The negotiations are in three days, so time is indeed a bit tight," she said calmly, "but the more anxious they are, the more they reveal their cards."

Li Jialin looked at Shen Yu in confusion. "They're worried? Are you saying that Zhao Shufang's pressure has reached an unbearable level?"

Shen Yu nodded with a slight smile. "Yes. Zhao Shufang seems to have gained the initiative, but every move they make reveals anxiety. They want to completely suppress us through this negotiation and force us to compromise. But they don't know that we also have a trump card, and perhaps it's time to show it."

Li Jialin finally understood what Shen Yu meant: "You want to use this negotiation opportunity to strike back at them and make them realize that they don't have the upper hand."

"Right." Shen Yu's eyes became sharp. "This game cannot be confined to the framework they set. I decided to use these three days to plan a counterattack."

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Zhao Shufang's office was equally tense. She sat at a large desk, a calm expression on her face, flipping through the documents in her hands. Beside her, Li Yun stood straight, awaiting her instructions.

"Mr. Zhao, how should we respond to Shen Yu's counterattack?" Li Yun asked carefully.

Zhao Shufang put down the documents in her hand, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Shen Yu is indeed not simple. The speed of her counterattack exceeded my expectations. It can be seen that she does not intend to sit still and wait for death."

She stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the distant cityscape. At that moment, her expression was remarkably calm. "But her counterattack is nothing more than a cover-up. She's merely putting up some meaningless resistance. Her confidence is still not as strong as ours."

Li Yun frowned. "But Shen Yu seems to have gained control of some resources that we are not aware of. She has appeared frequently in public recently and seems to be preparing for a major project."

"Really?" Zhao Shufang smiled slightly, but there was a hint of disdain in her eyes. "Shen Yu just played a beautiful 'fake hand'. Her counterattack was just to save face. When the real negotiations begin, we will expose her cards."

She turned around, her eyes as sharp as ice. "However, I'm actually looking forward to her having a more interesting reaction. The harder Shen Yu fights back, the more helpless she feels."

Li Yun nodded, fully understanding what Zhao Shufang meant: "Mr. Zhao, how do you plan to gain an absolute dominant position in the negotiations in three days?"

"We will increase the pressure," Zhao Shufang said firmly, "and push them into a situation of no return. They will be unable to bear it and will eventually surrender."

In Shen Yu's office, Li Jialin handed her a brand new plan: "Boss Shen, we have developed a new strategy for the negotiations in three days."

Shen Yu put down the document in his hand, took the plan, and scanned the detailed analysis with a satisfied smile on his face: "Well done."

Li Jialin was a little nervous. "Boss Shen, this strategy is indeed a bit risky. After all, Zhao Shufang is extremely sophisticated. If we reveal our flaws easily, she will likely seize the opportunity."

"Don't worry." Shen Yu looked up, his eyes radiating calmness and confidence. "Zhao Shufang is indeed cunning, but her cunning has its limitations. She thinks she has the initiative, but she ignores that we are the ones who decide the situation."

She paused, her tone softening a bit: "I already know some of their weaknesses. As long as I grasp them, Zhao Shufang will have no way to retreat."

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Jialin's eyes: "Boss Shen, how do you know this?"

Shen Yu smiled slightly. "You'll know the answer to this question later. The most important thing now is to prepare for the meeting with Zhao Shufang in advance and make sure we have the initiative in the negotiations."

Li Jialin nodded: "I understand. We will do our best."

On the day of the negotiation, Shen Yu and Li Jialin arrived at the venue early. The setting was formal, with company logos adorning the walls and crystal chandeliers emitting a soft glow. Despite the elegant setting, the atmosphere was filled with tension.

Shen Yu showed no signs of nervousness, remaining seated with a calm expression, as if everything was under control. Meanwhile, Li Jialin was constantly adjusting documents, always ready for the upcoming challenge.

As time passed, Zhao Shufang and her team finally arrived at the venue on time. Zhao Shufang maintained her superior demeanor, walking steadily. Her gaze swept over Shen Yu and Li Jialin, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Li." Zhao Shufang sat down and elegantly sorted through the documents in her hands. "Today's meeting should be the last crucial discussion of our cooperation. I believe you are all ready to face the final decision."

Shen Yu smiled slightly and looked directly at Zhao Shufang: "Of course, President Zhao. We are also ready to face the final decision."

The atmosphere instantly turned serious, and the confrontation between the two sides had begun. Shen Yu understood that every word and every action he made would determine the subsequent situation.

"Mr. Zhao, I've reviewed the terms you've proposed," Shen Yu said calmly. "We won't accept some of the clauses, especially those that restrict the company's independence."

Zhao Shufang's smile faded slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Mr. Shen, are you going to regret it? We have already provided the best opportunity for cooperation. If you choose to refuse now, you may never have such an opportunity again."

Shen Yu smiled slightly, but his tone remained firm: "Boss Zhao, my bottom line cannot be touched. Today's negotiation is not my regret, but a counterattack that you did not expect."

Shen Yu's words instantly made the atmosphere in the room tense. Zhao Shufang raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shen Yu, the coldness in her eyes becoming more intense. "Fight back? Mr. Shen, what do you think you can change?"

Shen Yu calmly picked up a document on the table and said casually, "If Mr. Zhao feels that I can't change anything, then today's negotiations will probably disappoint you greatly."

Zhao Shufang's eyes gradually became gloomy. She realized that Shen Yu might be hiding some cards that she had not foreseen, and all this had just begun.
