Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Even after Shen Yu left the shareholders' meeting, the atmosphere in the conference room hadn't completely calmed down. Shareholders gathered in groups of three or four, whispering about the recent dispute. Zhao Shufang scanned the room, knowing that this was just a test from Shen Yu, and that even greater challenges awaited her.

She turned to Zheng Kai and whispered, "Have someone keep a close eye on Shen Yu's every move. He must be making such a fuss today to cover up some bigger plan."

Zheng Kai nodded, his expression solemn: "Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to follow him, he won't succeed that easily."

Meanwhile, after leaving the shareholders' meeting, Shen Yu did not return directly to the company. Instead, he drove to a private club on the outskirts of the city. This was a place known for its secrecy and security, where many shady transactions in the upper class were quietly completed.

He pushed open the door of a private room, and inside sat a man in a black suit, leisurely sipping red wine. Seeing Shen Yu come in, the man smiled slightly, stood up, and shook hands with him.

"Mr. Shen, it seems that your plan today is not going well." There was a hint of sarcasm in the man's tone.

Shen Yu snorted coldly, "That woman Zhao Shufang is indeed more difficult to deal with than I imagined. However, this is just the beginning. I have plenty of time and means to make her unable to turn over."

The man raised an eyebrow, sat back on the sofa, and said leisurely: "Mr. Shen, time is key, but more important is opportunity. If you can provide more benefits, I can help you arrange some 'accidents'."

Shen Yu's eyes turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

The man gave a meaningful smile and said, "All I want is your company's overseas market share for the next five years."

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, as long as you can help me bring down Zhao Shufang, this part of the market share will be yours."

The man raised his glass with satisfaction, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

At the same time, Zhao Shufang returned to the office and immediately called a meeting with her core team. Her intuition told her that there must be other activities behind Shen Yu.

"Just after leaving the shareholders' meeting, Shen Yu went directly to the suburban club, where he met an unidentified man." Zheng Kai handed a photo file to Zhao Shufang while reporting.

Zhao Shufang flipped through the photos, her eyes growing increasingly serious. "This person is an agent of an overseas consortium, known for manipulating stock prices and conducting hostile takeovers. The fact that they'll be joining forces with Shen Yu means we'll not only have to deal with internal strife, but we'll also have to be wary of external capital threats."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. Several executives looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhao, what should we do now? If Shen Yu reaches a cooperation agreement with them, I'm afraid the company's stock price will be severely affected."

Zhao Shufang pondered for a moment, then raised her head with a determined look. "We must take the initiative and not wait for them to act. Zheng Kai, you are responsible for finding out all the background information about this man, especially the details of his transaction with Shen Yu."

Zheng Kai nodded in agreement, "Understood, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."

Zhao Shufang continued, "Also, we need to expedite the progress of several key projects, especially overseas collaborations. Spread the good news to stabilize investor confidence and control their capital flows."

The executives expressed their agreement and the meeting ended in a tense but efficient atmosphere.

After returning home, Zhao Shufang had the rare opportunity to chat with her brother Zhao Huaian. Zhao Huaian sat on the sofa, looking at his sister's slightly tired face, and asked with concern: "Sister, how did the shareholders' meeting end today? Did Shen Yu cause any trouble?"

Zhao Shufang rubbed her temples and sighed. "As expected, he did make some small moves, but I suppressed them all. However, this is just the beginning. He has even bigger backers behind him, and the current situation is more complicated than I imagined."

Zhao Huaian frowned even more tightly when he heard this. "Sister, it's too dangerous to continue like this. You can't handle carrying so much by yourself."

Zhao Shufang forced a smile and patted her brother's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm not alone. I have the support of Zheng Kai and the team. Besides, it won't be easy for Shen Yu to shake me."

Zhao Huaian was worried, "Sister, if necessary, I can contact some friends for help. They have experience in capital operations and may be able to provide some advice."

Zhao Shufang shook her head. "Huaian, I know you're doing this for my own good, but this matter isn't that simple. The kind of backers Shen Yu can find are not something an ordinary person can handle. You just need to help me keep an eye on things at home and don't let him find any opportunities to take advantage of you."

After hearing this, Zhao Huaian could only nod helplessly, "Okay, but you must pay attention to safety. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."

Zhao Shufang nodded, a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes, but then she returned to her usual calmness and determination.

Late at night, after saying goodbye to the man at the club, Shen Yu returned to his car and lit a cigarette. A complex light flickered in his eyes, a mixture of anger and resentment.

"Zhao Shufang, this time, you thought you won, but you will soon understand that the real game has just begun."

Outside the car window, the city’s neon lights gradually dimmed, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.
