Chapter 357 begins to break the deadlock
Lin Chuyue stepped steadily and firmly into the Gu family's gate. Her face had regained its composure, though the turmoil within her was still palpable. Her conversation with her father had just left her with a long-lost sense of oppression. This wasn't merely a business game; it was a conflict of kinship, trust, and interests. She understood that the relationship between Lin Zhengguo and Shen Fang was far more complex than she had previously imagined, and this struggle was likely beyond her control.
The door to the Gu family study closed gently. Lin Chuyue leaned against the door, closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. The disappointment and anger she felt towards her father still burned like a raging fire, but reason told her that temporarily losing control of her emotions would only put her in a disadvantageous position.
Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the study. She took out her phone, glanced at the screen, and saw that it was Li Zhanchuan.
"Hello?" she answered the call calmly.
Li Zhanchuan's voice came through, deep and tinged with anxiety: "Chuyue, has your father's attitude changed?"
A hint of wariness flashed in Lin Chuyue's eyes: "How did you know?"
Li Zhanchuan sighed softly on the other end of the phone: "There are some things your father doesn't want you to hear. His true intentions are probably more than that. You know Shen Fang's plans have already begun to take shape. Her cooperative relationship with Lin Zhengguo won't break down so easily."
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly. She wasn't surprised; instead, she remained calm: "I've known for a long time that he's not just a simple tool. What Shen Fang wants is more power and control, and your father is undoubtedly an important pawn in her game."
"What do you plan to do?" Li Zhanchuan's tone was serious, clearly indicating that he was increasingly uneasy about the current situation.
“Let’s continue with our previous plan,” Lin Chuyue said calmly. “But I will no longer rely solely on the Gu family. I will use more drastic measures to shake the alliance between Shen Fang and Lin Zhengguo.”
Li Zhanchuan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Alright, in that case, be careful. Some people within the Gu family have already begun to doubt you. If you continue to insist on this plan, it will inevitably cause more backlash."
“I understand.” A resolute light flashed in Lin Chuyue’s eyes. “However, now that this game has begun, it is impossible to withdraw easily.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuyue sat back down at her desk and began reviewing the documents in her hands. Her mood gradually calmed down. Although her father's attitude towards her had shaken her resolve, she knew that the key to everything lay in finding more effective ways to break the existing order.
In her plan, the next step was to take advantage of the internal divisions within the Gu family to stir up more conflicts, thereby forcing Shen Fang and Lin Zhengguo to reconsider their cooperative relationship.
Approaching storm
Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan wasn't idle either. As his cooperation with Lin Chuyue deepened, he discovered that not only Shen Fang and Lin Zhengguo, but also many undercurrents were surging within the Gu family. In particular, the attitudes of the Gu family elders were becoming increasingly serious.
Li Zhanchuan sat in the luxurious conference room, his fingers lightly tapping the table. His gaze swept over the elderly Gu family executives before him, and a sense of vigilance arose in his heart. These people appeared to be high-ranking business elites, but he knew that each of them harbored their own calculations.
“President Li, aren’t you being a bit too eager for quick success?” An elder from the Gu family suddenly spoke up, breaking the deadlock in the meeting.
Li Zhanchuan was slightly taken aback, looked up at the old man, his face showing no emotion. "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just acting according to my own plan."
"Act according to your plan?" The elder sneered. "You are just an external member of the Gu family's board of directors now. You know very well how much control you have. If you dare to instigate a power struggle within the Gu family, you will only end up shooting yourself in the foot."
These words caused the other senior executives present to begin whispering among themselves. Clearly, these people within the Gu family did not entirely approve of Li Zhanchuan's approach.
A sharp glint flashed in Li Zhanchuan's eyes as he spoke slowly and deliberately: "I understand the complexities within the Gu family, but without breaking the current deadlock, the Gu family will not be able to usher in a new turning point. I believe that the future of both the Gu family and my own future are inseparable from this transformation."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "Therefore, I will not stop, but will work even harder to push this change forward."
The elders' expressions turned serious. They knew that Li Zhanchuan was not only a business genius but also a man of great determination. Every elder in the Gu family understood that Li Zhanchuan possessed considerable power behind him. Moreover, as time went on, this power would continue to grow, eventually threatening their authority.
The calm before the storm
Back at Lin Chuyue's place, she sat at home, quietly sipping coffee. Sunlight streamed through the window, its warm glow illuminating her face, but the tranquility did not bring her any comfort.
She understood that a storm was brewing, and her collaboration with Li Zhanchuan was merely the beginning of it. Faced with Shen Fang and Lin Zhengguo's counterattack, she couldn't afford to let her guard down, for every step she took would determine her future.
Just then, her phone rang again. It was a message from Li Zhanchuan: "Are you ready? Our next move has begun."
Lin Chuyue looked up, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with determination: "I'm ready."
Every battle that followed would be a brutal contest. She knew that in this game of power, there was no turning back.
