Shen Yu walked out of the conference room with a steady pace. There was no emotion on his face, but Li Jialin could feel that he was not as calm as he appeared.

"Mr. Shen, do we need to speed up our deployment next? It seems that Zhao Shufang will not compromise easily." Li Jialin asked in a low voice as they walked, with a bit more worry in her eyes.

Shen Yu smiled calmly and adjusted his cuffs. "Don't worry. She appears tough on the outside, but she's starting to waver inside. From now on, we just have to wait and see."

"But her words just now were full of temptations and threats. We..." Li Jialin paused, a little hesitant, "If she counterattacks, will our arrangements be disrupted?"

Shen Yu stopped and turned to look at her. His voice was low and firm: "Jia Lin, you have to remember that no opponent will easily attack until they are forced into a corner. And our plan from the beginning was not to deal with her, but to leave her with no choice."

Li Jialin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and a look of admiration appeared on her face: "I understand, Mr. Shen. Then what's next..."

Shen Yu looked off into the distance, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Notify the Finance Department to expedite the mobilization of funds. At the same time, keep a close eye on the key individuals under Zhao Shufang. Report any signs of trouble immediately."

"I understand. I'll arrange it right away." Li Jialin nodded and left quickly.

Back in the office, Shen Yu opened his computer and retrieved an encrypted file. It listed not only Zhao Shufang's company's financial problems but also her financial transactions with several overseas accounts. This information was painstakingly gathered by Shen Yu's dedicated investigative team.

Just then, the phone screen lit up and a familiar name appeared on the caller ID.

"Mr. Shen, it shouldn't be considered rude to disturb you so late, right?" A man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of smile.

"Mr. Xu, your timing is spot on." Shen Yu smiled calmly, "Do you have any news to share?"

"I do have a piece of news that might be helpful to your next move," Xu Ze whispered, a hint of mystery in his tone. "Zhao Shufang seems to have been in contact with some questionable people recently. She might be trying to use external forces to deal with you."

A cold glint flashed in Shen Yu's eyes, but his tone remained calm: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for the reminder. However, I'm afraid these so-called 'external forces' are not enough to shake the overall situation."

"You're quite steady. But since we're friends, it never hurts to give them a heads-up. By the way, if you need help, just let me know."

"I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to trouble Mr. Xu for now." Shen Yu's tone was calm, but his eyes were thoughtful. "However, if there is any further movement from Zhao Shufang, please notify me immediately."

"No problem, it's a pleasure working with you." Xu Ze smiled and hung up the phone.

The next morning, Shen Yu arrived at the company early. As soon as he entered the office, his assistant Xiao Li hurried over and said, "Mr. Shen, Zhao Shufang held an emergency meeting last night. They might be discussing countermeasures."

"Yeah." Shen Yu nodded, seemingly unsurprised. "Keep watching. Report any anomalies immediately."

After Xiao Li nodded and left, Shen Yu flipped through the documents on the table and fell into a brief moment of contemplation. He knew that Zhao Shufang's counterattack would not be too late, and he had to be more prepared.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and Li Jialin walked in with a serious look on her face: "Mr. Shen, I just received news that Zhou Bin, the marketing manager under Zhao Shufang, suddenly resigned last night."

Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Zhou Bin resigned? What's the reason?"

"It's not clear yet, but someone saw him leave the company last night and go to a very remote place. He seemed to be in contact with someone." Li Jialin whispered, "I suspect he may be under some pressure."

"Interesting." Shen Yu sneered, "It's obviously not normal for a key figure to suddenly resign. Let's have someone check his movements and see if he's had any contact with anyone special recently."

"I understand. I'll arrange it right away." Li Jialin nodded and left quickly.

At noon, Shen Yu's phone rang again, this time with news from the investigation team.

"Mr. Shen, we've found some clues about Zhou Bin. He did meet with a foreign man last night. His identity is still being confirmed, but we can be sure that he has a special relationship with Zhao Shufang."

"Continue investigating, especially this man's background," Shen Yu said gravely. "Also, be careful not to alert the enemy."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu's eyes darkened. He had a vague feeling that Zhao Shufang's counterattack was approaching step by step, and what he needed to do was to completely destroy the other party's trump card before she made a move.
