Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 153 The storm rises again

Lin Chuyue was awakened by a series of urgent phone calls in the early morning. She reached for her phone to answer, and her assistant Zhou Ran's tense voice came from the other end of the line: "President Lin, there is something very urgent. The funding for one of the company's projects has suddenly dried up. Li Gang from the finance department is already investigating, but the situation seems to be very complicated."

"The funding chain has broken?" Lin Chuyue quickly came to her senses, sat up, and said in a calm and decisive tone, "I'll go there right away and have Li Gang prepare the relevant documents."

After hanging up the phone, she quickly got up to change her clothes. Li Zhanchuan walked in from outside the bedroom, holding a freshly brewed cup of coffee. He frowned slightly when he saw her expression: "What happened?"

"The company's cash flow is in trouble, I have to go there immediately," Lin Chuyue replied, while simply tying her hair up.

Li Zhanchuan placed the coffee on the table, his tone gentle yet undeniable: "I'll take it to you."

Lin Chuyue glanced at him and nodded gently: "Okay."

Undercurrents within the company

The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy. Li Gang handed a stack of documents to Lin Chuyue, his tone tinged with anxiety: "President Lin, this is the situation we have right now. The funding problem started with the 'Venucia Project,' and there are serious discrepancies in the accounts submitted by the branch office responsible for it."

Lin Chuyue opened the document and carefully browsed through each page of data, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"Who is in charge of this project?" she asked, looking up, her voice chillingly cold.

“It’s Zhang Qiang, the project manager,” Li Gang replied.

Lin Chuyue smiled coldly: "Tell Zhang Qiang to come to the company to see me within half an hour. If he dares to refuse, fire him immediately."

Li Gang nodded and left, while the other senior executives in the meeting room kept their heads down and remained silent, afraid of being implicated.

Li Zhanchuan stood to the side, arms crossed, his gaze calmly sweeping over the crowd. He slowly spoke, "The problem with this funding couldn't have been caused by just one person's negligence. Chuyue, have you ever suspected that this might be a setup targeting you?"

Lin Chuyue looked up at him, her eyes filled with a hint of wariness: "You mean, someone is tampering with things behind the scenes?"

“This is no coincidence,” Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice. “I will have someone investigate Zhang Qiang’s background to see if someone is using him.”

Lin Chuyue nodded: "Okay, let's split up."

Gu Yanchuan's observations

Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan received news in his office that Lin Chuyue's company was in trouble. He sat in his office chair, his fingers lightly tapping the desk, his gaze thoughtful.

Luo Yurou walked in carrying a cup of tea. Seeing his serious expression, she asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"There's been a problem with Lin Chuyue," Gu Yanchuan said calmly. "I'm wondering if this is a foreshadowing left by Shen Fang."

Luo Yurou was slightly taken aback when she heard the name, and then said, "Did she really leave so cleanly?"

Gu Yanchuan shook his head slightly: "Shen Fang will never be willing to accept this. This kind of financial problem may seem like a small matter, but it is enough to put Lin Chuyue in a difficult situation at a critical moment."

Luo Yurou pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "If needed, I can ask my father for help. He is very experienced in fund management."

Gu Yanchuan looked up at her, his eyes softening slightly: "Thank you, but I think Lin Chuyue may not need outside help. She is very strong now."

Luo Yurou nodded and smiled gently, "Then it's up to you to decide."

The outbreak of conflict

Zhang Qiang finally arrived at the company half an hour later. He was covered in sweat and looked flustered as soon as he entered the conference room: "President Lin, you wanted to see me?"

Lin Chuyue threw the documents in front of him, her voice cold and sharp: "Zhang Qiang, explain why there is such a huge loophole in the project funds?"

Zhang Qiang glanced down at the document, his lips trembling slightly: "President Lin, I... I really didn't know. These accounts were handled by the finance department."

"You don't know?" Lin Chuyue sneered. "As the project leader, you don't even understand the most basic flow of funds?"

Zhang Qiang's face turned pale, and his tone became even more flustered: "President Lin, this matter may have been handled privately by someone below. I will investigate immediately!"

"Investigate?" Lin Chuyue stood up, her gaze sharp. "Go now! I need a complete report within three days. If you can't do that, don't show your face at the company again."

Zhang Qiang nodded repeatedly and left the conference room in a disheveled state.

Li Zhanchuan leaned against the conference table, his voice calm: "His problem is obvious. Should we start investigating now?"

Lin Chuyue looked at him, her eyes revealing a hint of calm: "No rush, give him some time, let him think he still has a chance."

The progress of the plan

Late at night, Lin Chuyue stood by the window, fiddling with her phone. Li Zhanchuan walked over and handed her a glass of hot milk: "Still thinking about what happened during the day?"

"Hmm." Lin Chuyue nodded, her tone weary. "Zhang Qiang's problems are too obvious. I'm wondering if there's something even bigger going on behind him."

Li Zhanchuan gently patted her shoulder: "Don't worry too much, my people are already investigating. If there's anything wrong with him, we'll have results soon."

Lin Chuyue turned to look at him, a surge of gratitude welling up in her heart: "Zhanchuan, thank you."

Li Zhanchuan shook his head, his gaze gentle: "I said, no matter what happens, I will be with you."

Lin Chuyue pursed her lips, a complex emotion appearing in her eyes.
