"What happened?" Gu Jin spoke sharply, and his assistant's hesitation gave him a bad feeling.

The assistant took a deep breath and said quickly, "The bank has come to collect the loan in advance."

Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes. The subsidiary's issue had not been resolved yet, and the pressure from the bank came one after another, like a storm, ruthlessly attacking them.

"I understand. You can go out first." Gu Jinyan waved his hand, signaling the assistant to leave.

The office door closed, shrouding the two in silence. Su Li walked to the window, looking at the busy city outside, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Gu Jinyan walked to her side, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and a low voice sounded in her ears: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Su Li turned to look at him with a hint of worry in her eyes: "But, the problem with the subsidiary company..."

"I'll take care of it." Gu Jinyan interrupted her, his tone firm, "You go back and rest first, leave the company's affairs to me."

Su Li knew that she couldn't help much and would only distract him, so she nodded, turned around and left the office.

Gu Jinyan watched her back disappear at the door, and the gentleness in his eyes was instantly replaced by a sharpness. He picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said in a cold tone: "Notify all senior executives to have a meeting in the conference room in ten minutes!"

Ten minutes later, in the conference room, Gu Jinyan sat in the main seat, his face terribly gloomy. The executives present all felt the low pressure emanating from him, and none of them dared to breathe.

"Tell me, what's going on with the subsidiary's product quality issues?" Gu Jinyan asked coldly, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone present.

The subsidiary manager looked pale, stood up tremblingly, and stammered, "Boss Gu, we have found out that the problem lies with the raw materials..."

"Raw materials? Didn't they already..." Gu Jinyan suddenly paused, a thought flashing through his mind, "Who is the supplier?"

"Yes..." The subsidiary manager hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.

"Contact this supplier immediately. I want to talk to them in person!" Gu Jin's tone was cold, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

The call was connected, and before the other party could speak, Gu Jinyan said directly: "I am Gu Jinyan!"

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously shocked by this sudden questioning. After a few seconds of silence, a somewhat panicked voice came: "Gu, Mr. Gu..."

"I don't care who you are, and I don't want to know what means you used. Now, stop supplying inferior raw materials immediately!" Gu Jinyan's voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion. "Also, you must bear all the losses this time!"

The other party wanted to explain something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Gu Jinyan: "I'll give you one day. Tomorrow morning, I want to see your solution. Otherwise, wait for the lawyer's letter!"

After the call ended, Gu Jinyan rubbed his brows tiredly. He knew that this was just the first step, and there would be more difficult problems waiting for him to solve.

On the other hand, Su Li was also busy with the subsidiary's affairs. She came to the subsidiary's R&D department and worked with the technical staff to study solutions.

"Mr. Su, we have found the problem. An additive in the raw materials exceeded the standard, resulting in unstable product performance." The R&D director pointed to the test report and explained to Su Li.

"Is there any way to solve it?" Su Li asked with a frown.

"We are studying alternatives, but it will take some time." The R&D director looked embarrassed. "Also, even if we find alternative materials, we need to retest them to ensure product quality."

Time is running out, Su Li knows this very well. She said decisively: "I will try my best to buy you some time, you should also hurry up and come up with a solution as soon as possible!"

The R&D team was inspired by Su Li's determination and expressed their willingness to do their best.

As night fell, the lights in Gu's Building were still bright. Gu Jinyan and Su Li were busy until late at night, each of them was working hard for the company's affairs.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, breaking the silence of the office. Gu Jinyan looked up and saw his assistant standing at the door with a serious expression.

"Come in."

The assistant walked quickly to the desk and whispered, "Boss Gu, someone is coming from the bank..."

The assistant's words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, making Gu Jinyan's already tense nerves even more tense. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Please let them in."

A moment later, a young woman in business attire came in, followed by a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. The woman was a loan officer at the bank that cooperated with Gu's Group, while the man was a representative of a company that had a long-term cooperative project with Gu's.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, we are sorry to bother you at this time." The loan officer greeted politely, but his tone was serious. "We are here today to learn about the quality issues of your company's products."

Gu Jinyan signaled his assistant to pour them some water, then got straight to the point and said, "We have found out the cause of the problem and are actively taking measures to resolve it. I believe we will be able to give all our partners a satisfactory answer soon."

The loan officer nodded slightly, but she didn't show any sign of relaxing. She pushed her glasses and said, "Mr. Gu, as you know, banks are very concerned about the operating conditions of loan companies. This product quality issue has already had a certain impact on your company's reputation, and we have received many inquiries from customers. If the problem cannot be resolved as soon as possible, we are worried that it will affect the approval of subsequent loans."

Although her words were euphemistic, the warning was self-evident. Gu Jinyan naturally understood what she meant, and his expression became even more solemn.

The partner representative at the side also spoke up: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, we have been working with Gu for many years and have always trusted your strength. But this incident does make us a little worried. After all, this batch of products is related to the progress and quality of our project."

Seeing this, Su Li immediately took over the conversation and said sincerely, "Boss Wang, please rest assured that we will resolve the product quality issues as soon as possible and ensure that the project progress will not be delayed. Moreover, we will compensate all affected partners accordingly and will never let you bear any losses."

The partner representative looked at Su Li, then at Gu Jinyan, and finally nodded, temporarily accepting their explanation.

After seeing off the loan officer and partner representatives, the office fell silent again. Gu Jinyan walked to the French window and looked at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and greater challenges were still to come...

Su Li walked up to him and gently held his hand. Her eyes were firm and warm: "Don't worry, we will get through this together."

Gu Jinyan held her hand in his, feeling the warmth of her palm, and a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at Su Li, his eyes full of gratitude and...

...gratitude and love. He looked at Su Li, his eyes full of gratitude and love. He knew that no matter how many storms there were ahead, as long as Su Li was by his side, he would have the courage and strength to face them.

"The most important thing now is to find out the root cause of the product quality problem so that the problem can be solved fundamentally." Su Li said calmly, "I have asked my assistant to collect all the relevant information. Let's analyze it together."

Gu Jinyan nodded, and the two immediately plunged into their intense work. They carefully studied every report and every link, trying to find the crux of the problem. Time passed by minute by minute, and the only sounds in the office were the sounds of flipping through documents and typing on the keyboard.

"The problem may be with the raw materials." Su Li pointed to a data in the report and said, "The supplier of this batch of raw materials is new. We have never cooperated with them before, so the quality may not be well controlled."

Gu Jinyan frowned, "Contact this supplier immediately and ask them to give an explanation and provide qualified raw materials as soon as possible."

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. The supplier admitted that there were quality problems with the raw materials, but shirked responsibility, claiming that they were produced according to the standards provided by Gu, and said that they could not provide qualified raw materials immediately.

At the same time, the news of Gu's Group's product quality problems was exposed by the media, causing an uproar in public opinion and seriously damaging the company's image. Gu's stock also began to fall, investors sold their stocks one after another, and the company fell into an unprecedented crisis.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li are facing tremendous pressure. They have to deal with external public opinion crisis, solve internal product quality problems, and appease the emotions of their partners. Every task is urgent.

"Mr. Gu, there's news from the subsidiary company saying..." The assistant pushed the door in hurriedly, but hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan and Su Li asked in unison.

"We found a batch of products with serious quality problems at the subsidiary. We suspect they were produced during the period of chaotic management. The quantity is huge. If they enter the market, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly, his face livid, "Immediately block the news and investigate this matter thoroughly!" A sharp light flashed in his eyes, "It seems that some people will not give up until they reach the Yellow River!"

Su Li also realized the seriousness of the problem. She clenched her fists and said firmly: "No matter who it is, if he dares to fish in troubled waters at this time, I will never let him go!"

In the midst of the storm, Gu Jinyan and Su Li fought side by side. They knew that the storm had just begun...
