Chapter 26 Shen Fang's Plan
Shen Fang began her counterattack, starting with maintaining close ties with several senior executives within the company, especially Li Gang (CFO) and Zhou Xiaofeng (HR Manager). These two had always been Shen Fang's right-hand men, collaborating with her on numerous occasions. Although Shen Fang had temporarily lost her senior position, she knew that as long as she controlled these key figures, she could still dictate the company's fate.
Shen Fang decided to maintain a covert connection with Li Gang and Zhou Xiaofeng behind the scenes. She had her subordinates relay messages to the board, implying that Lin Chuyue's takeover might not be the wisest decision and could even jeopardize the company's long-term interests. Through Li Gang and Zhou Xiaofeng, she conveyed the message that "Lin Chuyue's decisions have thrown some key departments into disarray," planting seeds of doubt among the company's senior management.
Through these subtle methods, Shen Fang made the higher-ups uneasy. On the surface, Lin Chuyue took over her position, but in reality, Shen Fang was the one who truly controlled the overall situation.
Her counterattack was not hasty or opportunistic, but rather like a hunter waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Shen Fang had already planned in her mind that during her one-month suspension, she must first make Lin Chuyue feel that she was "besieged." She used Li Gang and Zhou Xiaofeng's connections within the company's upper echelons to begin passing on false information to Lin Chuyue. Shen Fang didn't directly confront Lin Chuyue, but instead used indirect methods to make Lin Chuyue feel that she was caught in an insurmountable power struggle.
Shen Fang's first move was to contact Lin Chuyue through Zhou Xiaofeng, feigning to reveal some information about herself. During his conversation with Lin Chuyue, Zhou Xiaofeng deliberately passed on the news of Shen Fang's suspension, implying that Shen Fang still had powerful backing: "Although President Lin has been suspended, she has extensive connections; it's impossible to completely destroy her." These words made Lin Chuyue feel a strange pressure.
At the same time, Shen Fang, through Li Gang, spread rumors that "the company's senior management is dissatisfied with Lin Chuyue's actions." She deliberately amplified the disagreements on some decisions, making Lin Chuyue believe that every decision she made was being "subtly" observed by the senior management, as if she were caught in a game within a game.
Although these pieces of information may seem insignificant on the surface, they can slowly erode Lin Chuyue's confidence and sow seeds of doubt deep within her heart.
Shen Fang knew that Lin Chuyue was not an easy person to deal with. She had experienced Lin Chuyue's strength and intelligence in her previous life, and this time, she would not be defeated as easily as before. To ensure that her reinstatement plan would not be hindered, Shen Fang began to adopt a more secretive approach, maintaining contact with key figures within the company.
Her next plan was to create a crisis that Lin Chuyue would find impossible to escape. Shen Fang secretly contacted some external partners through Wang Peng (the head of the legal department) and began negotiating with them about some shady financial dealings within the company. All of this was done in secret, without Lin Chuyue noticing.
She knew that Lin Chuyue was destined to become interested in these financial matters. Even if she couldn't confirm Shen Fang's conspiracy now, as Lin Chuyue investigated further, she would discover some unusual financial reports and transaction records. This "evidence" would force her down the wrong path and ultimately make her a pawn in Shen Fang's game.
Although Lin Chuyue had temporarily taken control of the company, she did not underestimate Shen Fang's threat. She knew that Shen Fang was not just a woman; she was a person with a powerful background. Lin Chuyue was not blinded by her temporary victory but instead observed Shen Fang's every move with great vigilance.
With Gu Yanchuan's help, Lin Chuyue gradually gathered more information about Shen Fang and her key figures. She learned the details of Shen Fang's transactions with Li Gang and Zhou Xiaofeng, and also understood Shen Fang's shady dealings with external companies. She knew that if Shen Fang's actions were not stopped, they would pose a significant threat to the company in the future.
However, Lin Chuyue did not rush to release this evidence. Instead, she collected it discreetly, slowly putting pressure on Shen Fang. She began to expose some of Shen Fang's actions in a more subtle way, waiting for the higher-ups to realize Shen Fang's conspiracy and gradually pushing her to the brink of failure.
She knew that Shen Fang's plan wouldn't be so easy to execute, but she couldn't let her guard down either. In this game, whoever made the first mistake would find themselves in a deep predicament.
