Chapter 378 Reorganization Begins
Lin Chuyue sat quietly in her study. The night outside the window was as dark as ink, and the city lights twinkled like distant stars. Her mind was filled with complex emotions, a mixture of anticipation for the future and deep anxiety about the challenges to come.
Just as she was deep in thought, her phone suddenly vibrated. A message popped up on the screen from Li Zhanchuan: "We have a meeting tonight."
Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure and replied to the message: "When?"
"Don't be late in ten minutes."
She stood up, walked to the window, her eyes growing increasingly calm. Even though her inner turmoil was raging, her outward demeanor remained as steady as a rock. She knew full well what her decision meant, and that in this battle, even if she wasn't fully prepared, there was no turning back.
Standing in front of the mirror, straightening her clothes, Lin Chuyue took a deep breath. She didn't feel she fully understood what to do next, but regardless, she knew she had to gain a foothold in this power struggle.
Ten minutes later, Lin Chuyue entered the private club located in the city center as agreed. Li Zhanchuan was already waiting there, with some documents on the table next to him, indicating that he did not intend to make today's meeting easy.
He looked up and saw her, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said calmly, "Sit down."
Lin Chuyue didn't say anything and sat down directly. In the chair opposite her, Li Zhanchuan sat upright with an indifferent gaze, as if everything was under control.
"Are you ready for this plan?" Li Zhanchuan asked calmly, but the oppressive aura he exuded made Lin Chuyue's heart grow heavier.
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, her eyes resolute: "I'm ready."
Li Zhanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "You still dare to say you're 'ready'?"
Lin Chuyue looked at him calmly, her gaze unwavering: "I know this path won't be easy, but now that I've started, I won't back down easily. Shen Fang's backing is so powerful that if I don't start making some counterattacks, I'll never be able to escape their control."
Li Zhanchuan lowered his head, glanced at the documents in front of him, then looked up and suddenly asked, "Do you really understand what you're about to face?"
Lin Chuyue's heart tightened instantly, but she forced herself to remain calm and gritted her teeth as she replied, "I know. Now, I have even stronger motivation to deal with it."
Li Zhanchuan suddenly laughed, a hint of mockery in his smile: "You know what? I used to think you were an innocent girl, but now it seems you're much smarter than I imagined."
Lin Chuyue looked up, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "What are you trying to say?"
“I’ve already started investigating the people behind you. Your so-called ‘counterattack’ is probably not as simple as you think.” Li Zhanchuan’s tone grew increasingly cold.
Lin Chuyue was immediately shocked, unable to hide her astonishment: "You already knew?"
“Shen Fang has been by your side for too long, so I’m not surprised by the methods she’s used against you.” Li Zhanchuan gently put down the documents, seemingly unconcerned about the topic. “But if you think that with me here, you can resolve all of this smoothly, then you’re being too naive.”
Lin Chuyue's breathing quickened as tension and unease welled up inside her, but she remained calm: "Then what do you think we should do?"
“You did well, but you’re still not strong enough.” Li Zhanchuan slowly stood up, his eyes sharp. “If you want to truly control the situation, you need more power.”
Lin Chuyue gave him a deep look, trying to glean some clues from his calm gaze: "Can you help me?"
“I can help you.” Li Zhanchuan’s tone was no longer flippant, but full of certainty. “But what price are you willing to pay?”
Lin Chuyue suddenly froze. She had never truly considered this question before. It wasn't that she was unaware of Li Zhanchuan's deeper meaning, but she knew that she seemed to have no other choice now.
"What price can I pay?" she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Li Zhanchuan pointed lightly, and the documents on the table were suddenly pushed in front of Lin Chuyue. The cover of the documents clearly read: "Company Strategic Restructuring Plan".
"Do you know what this means?" Li Zhanchuan's voice was deep and threatening. "If you want to defeat Shen Fang through this plan, you must participate and be completely committed to this game. Every step will have a price."
Lin Chuyue's heart raced. She looked down at the document, countless questions swirling in her mind. She realized that this struggle was far more complex than she had anticipated, and the profound influence behind Shen Fang was even a heavy burden she felt she couldn't bear.
"Are you sure you want to go on?" Li Zhanchuan's eyes were like knives as he stared straight at her.
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with determination: "I've made up my mind."
Li Zhanchuan's lips curled up slightly, but his eyes were filled with complex emotions: "Then, let's face the storm together."
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside, followed by a knock on the door. Li Zhanchuan frowned and turned to look at Lin Chuyue: "It seems that things have begun to change."
Lin Chuyue's heart tightened, and she immediately stood up, her gaze serious: "What changes?"
Li Zhanchuan chuckled softly: "You're about to face more than just Shen Fang."
The door was pushed open again, and a figure appeared in the doorway—it was Gu Yanchuan, expressionless with sharp eyes.
