Chapter 157 Credit Crisis
Inside Shen Fang's villa, the atmosphere in the conference room was so heavy it was suffocating. Several business partners stared at several documents on the table with complicated expressions. These documents detailed Shen Fang's suspicious transactions with multiple institutions.
“Ms. Shen Fang, we just received news from back home,” one of the partners said coldly, “that you have a history of irregularities in multiple projects, and are even suspected of money laundering. Are these documents genuine?”
Shen Fang's face was grim, but she tried her best to remain calm: "These materials are completely fabricated. It's Lin Chuyue's doing. She's framing me!"
“But these documents are not just her statements; they are actual records verified by multiple parties. Now, this news has spread throughout our entire industry.” Another person’s tone was even more displeased. “If we continue to cooperate with you, the risks will increase dramatically.”
"You actually believe her and not me?" Shen Fang slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, her tone filled with anger and resentment. "I've put so much into this collaboration, and you're dismissing my abilities just because of a few falsified documents?"
“Shen Fang, we’re not denying your abilities, but we can’t afford the chain of risks this collaboration might bring.” The eldest partner sighed. “Starting today, our collaboration is temporarily suspended. Let’s talk again once you can clarify these issues.”
After they finished speaking, the group got up and left, leaving Shen Fang standing there, her clenched fists turning white at the knuckles.
She watched the last person leave, her eyes filled with resentment. She gritted her teeth and muttered, "Lin Chuyue... very well, since you've pushed me to this point, then don't blame me for using any means necessary."
Lin Chuyue's victory
Lin Chuyue listened to Zhou Ran's report in her office, a faint smile appearing on her face.
"President Lin, the latest news indicates that several of Shen Fang's key partners have announced the termination of their cooperation with her." Zhou Ran couldn't help but exclaim, "Your move was brilliant, directly causing her credibility to collapse."
"This is just the beginning," Lin Chuyue said calmly, her eyes filled with deep thought. "Most of Shen Fang's partners are profit-driven. Once her credibility collapses, no one will dare to stand up for her anymore."
“However, Mr. Lin, there’s something we need to be careful about.” Zhou Ran hesitated for a moment. “Although Shen Fang is in a difficult situation for the time being, her counterattack may be even more intense.”
Lin Chuyue nodded gently: "I understand, but we are not unprepared. I will end this game completely."
She looked up at the window, her eyes flashing with determination: "Shen Fang has lost the initiative, and I will not give her another chance to turn the tables."
Li Zhanchuan's Guardian
That evening, Li Zhanchuan received a call from Lin Chuyue at a private club.
"Zhanchuan, the situation has started to develop in our favor today." Lin Chuyue's voice was relaxed, but more so calm.
“I know.” Li Zhanchuan’s lips curled into a faint smile. “But Chuyue, you must also be careful. Shen Fang is the best at turning the tables in desperate situations.”
"Don't worry, I won't let my guard down," Lin Chuyue said with a hint of teasing. "Besides, aren't you here?"
Li Zhanchuan smiled, his voice low and gentle: "As long as it's about you, I will do my best. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side."
Hearing his promise, Lin Chuyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She whispered, "Thank you, Zhanchuan. With you here, I really feel much more at ease."
A hint of tenderness flashed in Li Zhanchuan's eyes: "Chuyue, there's no need to thank me. This is what I wanted to do."
New Challenges in the Undercurrents
However, just as Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan lowered their guard, a secret message was sent back to China: Shen Fang had urgently raised a huge sum of money in the international market, intending to use the stock market to attack the stock price of Lin Chuyue's company.
Upon receiving the news, Lin Chuyue immediately convened a meeting with her core team.
“If she really wants to use the stock market to attack us, then it proves that she has completely lost patience,” Lin Chuyue calmly analyzed. “However, this may not be a bad thing for us. The more desperate we are, the more loopholes we will have.”
Zhou Ran nodded in agreement: "President Lin, we have already monitored the abnormal fund flows of several major accounts and can lock down her next move at any time."
"Alright." Lin Chuyue's gaze sharpened. "This time, we will not only make her lose, but we will make her lose so badly that she has nowhere to retreat."
Foreshadowing and suspense
Late at night, Lin Chuyue returned home and leaned back on the sofa to rest with her eyes closed. However, a sudden ringing of her cell phone broke the silence.
She picked up her phone and found that the screen displayed an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?" Lin Chuyue answered the phone, her tone revealing a hint of wariness.
“Miss Lin,” a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, “I have some secret information about Shen Fang that might be of great help to you.”
Lin Chuyue was startled and sat up straight: "Who are you? What are your conditions?"
“My identity is not important, and the conditions are very simple,” the other party said in a low voice. “Meet me at the warehouse dock in the old city at eight o’clock tomorrow night, and I will give you the information.”
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone, leaving Lin Chuyue holding the phone with a furrowed brow.
"Could this be a trap?" she murmured to herself, but a resolute glint appeared in her eyes.
