Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The afternoon sun streamed through the curtains onto the floor, but Shen Yu's office was filled with a tense atmosphere. On the desk lay a copy of the latest investigative report, along with several highlighted photos that clearly revealed the locations and details of Zhao Shufang's encounters with the foreign man.

Li Jialin pushed the door open and entered, her expression grave. "Mr. Shen, further intelligence reveals that the foreign man is named Anthony, and he's a representative of a multinational consortium. He and Zhao Shufang have a history of numerous transactions involving funds and resources. This time, it seems she intends to use the power behind Anthony to thwart our plans."

Shen Yu raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were calm, but his voice was full of authority: "Have you dug deep enough into Anthony's background? What key points does he have in China?"

"The team has discovered that he has close ties with executives of several foreign companies, particularly those involved in projects in East China. Our people are currently tracking the flow of funds from these companies." Li Jialin paused, then added, "However, this will take some time."

"Time is what we need most." Shen Yu tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes darkening slightly. "Zhao Shufang's counterattack came faster than I expected. It seems that she also realized that she has no way out."

A moment later, Assistant Xiao Li walked in with the latest meeting arrangement documents: "Mr. Shen, the high-level meeting on project bidding has been confirmed at 3 pm, and the list of participants has been verified."

Shen Yu took the document, flipped through a few pages, and frowned slightly. "Notify the heads of the Finance and Legal departments to come to my office half an hour early. I want to make sure there are no unexpected events during today's meeting."

Xiao Li nodded and left. Shen Yu looked at Li Jialin, who was still waiting for instructions. "Jialin, keep a close eye on Zhao Shufang's movements, especially her funding arrangements. If she wants to use external forces to interfere with this project, we must plan ahead."

"I understand. I will arrange it immediately." Li Jialin responded and left.

At 3 p.m., the high-level meeting took place as scheduled. The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. Shen Yu sat in the main seat, his eyes sweeping over the executives on both sides of the conference table, calm and majestic.

The project leader spoke first: "Mr. Shen, the current bidding situation is very optimistic. Although the competitor's bid is slightly lower, we have a clear advantage in technology and resource integration. If nothing unexpected happens, we have a good chance of winning this project."

"Have you reviewed the competitor's information in detail?" Shen Yu asked calmly.

"We've passed." The person in charge handed over a document. "Our competitor is an emerging company in East China. They have some capital backing, but their qualifications and experience are far inferior to ours."

Shen Yu flipped open the file, his eyes fixed on a few key words, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "Emerging company? I'm afraid this is just a cover."

He pushed the documents onto the table and said firmly, "Continue with our strategy, while strengthening our engagement with the tender committee. I don't want anyone to influence the outcome through unauthorized means."

The meeting continued, with everyone reporting on the latest progress in their respective areas. Shen Yu listened attentively, but his gaze remained critical. He knew the key to this battle lay not just in technology and price, but in preemptively striking and dismantling Zhao Shufang's last remaining support.

After the meeting, Shen Yu had just returned to his office when his phone rang. It was Zhao Bin, the head of the Finance Department, calling. His tone was particularly urgent: "Mr. Shen, an unusual amount of funds has flowed into a secret account. It may be related to Zhao Shufang's plan."

"What exactly is the situation?" Shen Yu's voice was low, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"The funds were transferred through multiple overseas accounts. Although the cover-up was done well, we traced one of the nodes to Anthony's company," Zhao Bin said. "It seems they were trying to bribe certain members of the bidding committee with the funds."

Shen Yu sneered: "Zhao Shufang really is unscrupulous."

"Do we need to take action?" Zhao Bin asked tentatively.

"Immediately contact the legal department and the investigation team, compile a report on the flow of funds, and report anonymously to the relevant departments. We can't sit idly by." Shen Yu said decisively.

After hanging up the phone, his face was more stern: "Jia Lin, make arrangements. I need to meet the person in charge of the bidding committee."

"Okay, I'll contact them right away." Li Jialin also realized the urgency of the situation and took action immediately.

As the night deepened, Shen Yu sat in his office, quietly looking at the lights outside the window. However, his thoughts were not at peace.

Zhao Shufang's counterattack was more complicated and dangerous than expected. But Shen Yu knew that this was not just a business battle, but also a game of trust, resources and will.

"Mr. Shen." Li Jialin pushed the door open and walked in. "The person in charge of the bidding committee has agreed to meet tomorrow at nine in the morning."

Shen Yu nodded. "Very good. Next, let's see what new tricks Zhao Shufang can come up with."

The office returned to silence. Shen Yu looked at the documents on the table, a sharp glint in his eyes. No matter how his opponent struggled, he would always maintain a firm grip on the situation until the very end.
