After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

The sun shines through the French windows, casting a warm glow over the room. Su Li puts the last dish on the table, looks back and smiles. Gu Jinyan is leaning against the door, his deep eyes full of doting.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Li walked up to him and gently smoothed his slightly wrinkled brows.

"I was thinking, how lucky I am to have you." Gu Jinyan held her hand, bent down and kissed her fingertips, "Thank you, Li'er, for always being by my side."

Su Li's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at him in reproach, "Okay, go have breakfast quickly, you can't be late for the meeting this afternoon."

At 2pm, the atmosphere in the subsidiary's meeting room was serious and warm. Gu Jinyan sat in the main seat, and Su Li sat beside him. Both of them had firm eyes and confident demeanor.

"The purpose of this meeting is to formulate the company's development strategy for the next five years." Gu Jinyan said in a steady tone, looking around the audience, "The subsidiary has experienced this crisis, and it has also made us see our own shortcomings and potential risks. We must learn lessons so that we can move forward more steadily and further."

Su Li opened the document in his hand, cleared his throat, and took over the conversation: "We plan to increase investment in research and development, attract more outstanding talents, and improve the technological content and market competitiveness of our products."

"At the same time, we must also actively expand market channels, establish a more complete sales network, and promote our products to a wider market." Gu Jinyan added, "Of course, supply chain management is also a top priority. We must optimize processes, reduce costs, improve efficiency, and ensure the stability and security of the supply chain."

In the conference room, heads of various departments spoke one after another, putting forward their own suggestions and ideas. Su Li and Gu Jinyan listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and occasionally raised some sharp questions to trigger everyone's thinking and discussion.

"I think we can also try to cooperate with universities to establish joint laboratories and jointly develop new products." A young department manager stood up and said, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li exchanged admiring glances. This young manager was promoted by Su Li against all odds.

"This is a great proposal. We can first conduct market research and assess the feasibility." Su Li encouraged, "I believe that as long as we work together and have the courage to innovate, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and create greater glory!"

The meeting lasted until the evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the conference room, casting a golden glow on everyone.

"Today's meeting ends here." Gu Jinyan announced, "I believe that as long as we ..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

"Boss Gu, Boss Su, something happened!" The subsidiary manager looked pale and panicked, "The bank..."

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, something happened!" The subsidiary manager was pale and spoke in a panic, "The bank..." He spoke in a hurried tone, but could not utter a complete sentence at the critical moment.

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, signaling him to calm down, "Tell me slowly, what happened?"

The subsidiary manager took a deep breath and calmed down his panic. "The bank... the bank suddenly wants to call back the loan early!"

"What?!" There was an uproar in the conference room. Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and anxiety.

Su Li's face was calm, but her eyes were heavy. She turned to look at the young subsidiary manager, and saw beads of sweat on his forehead, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and his eyes full of self-blame and anxiety.

She gave him a reassuring look and turned to look at Gu Jinyan, "Don't worry, let's understand the situation first."

Gu Jinyan nodded slightly, signaling the subsidiary manager to continue.

“I… I don’t know what’s going on. Just now, the bank’s credit officer suddenly called me and told me that our company’s financial situation is at risk and asked us to repay all loans in advance, otherwise…” The subsidiary manager’s voice became smaller and smaller, and was almost inaudible at the end.

"Otherwise what?" Su Li asked.

"Otherwise... they will file a lawsuit against our company." The subsidiary manager's voice was trembling. He knew what this meant. If it really came to that, the company would face a devastating disaster.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly dropped to freezing point, and everyone realized that the company was in crisis again, and it was more dangerous than the last time.

Gu Jinyan's eyes were stern. He glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "Why are you panicking? Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up!"

He turned to look at Su Li, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Su Li responded with a firm look, "I believe you."

Gu Jinyan picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Help me check who is behind this!"

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the subsidiary manager and said, "Contact the bank right now and tell them that I will go and talk to them in person."

"Yes, Mr. Gu!" The subsidiary manager nodded in response as if he had been pardoned.

Gu Jinyan turned to look at the young department manager, "Come with me."

"Me?" The young department manager was a little surprised and asked, pointing at himself.

"I believe in your ability." Gu Jinyan patted his shoulder, "This crisis is also an opportunity for you to prove yourself."

The young department manager suddenly felt a surge of blood in his heart. He straightened his back with a firm look in his eyes, "Boss Gu, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"

After Gu Jinyan and the young department manager left, the atmosphere in the conference room remained solemn. Su Li looked around at everyone and said firmly, "I know everyone is worried, but please believe us, we will definitely get through this!"

She paused, then continued, "This crisis has also made us see some problems within the company. We must learn lessons to prevent similar things from happening again..."

Su Li's voice was calm and powerful, like a shot of adrenaline, which gradually calmed down the originally panicked crowd.

……

In the bank's VIP reception room, Gu Jinyan and the young department manager sat face to face. Opposite them was a bank loan officer wearing a professional suit and exquisite makeup.

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, we are also following the rules." The loan officer's tone was formal, leaving no room for negotiation. "Your company's financial situation does have some problems, and we have to take measures to protect the interests of the bank."

"What's the problem?" Gu Jin's tone was calm, yet he carried an aura of majesty without even getting angry.

"According to the information we have, there have been some anomalies in your company's recent cash flow..." The loan officer flipped through the documents in his hands and began to list some data on the company's financial statements.

The young department manager broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He had seen these data before but didn't find any problems. Why would the bank suddenly use this as an excuse to call in the loan early?

Gu Jinyan listened calmly, staring at the loan officer sharply, as if trying to read something from her face.

"Manager Wang, I believe you should know these issues better than me." Gu Jinyan suddenly spoke, his tone calm, but it made the loan officer's heart skip a beat.

"I... I don't understand what you mean..." The loan officer's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at Gu Jinyan.

"You are a smart person. You should know what to do and what not to do." Gu Jinyan's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable majesty. "I hope you can think clearly and not ruin your future for some petty gains."

The loan officer's face suddenly turned pale. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, "Knock, knock, knock..."

The loan officer was relieved and said quickly, "Come in."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, looking energetic, walked in, followed by a young and beautiful secretary.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see." The middle-aged man walked up to Gu Jinyan with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, "I am a representative of XX Group. I am here today to discuss a cooperation with your company..." The arrival of the representative of XX Group was like a timely rain. A confident smile was on his face. After exchanging greetings with Gu Jinyan, he expressed his intention to cooperate directly.

"Mr. Gu, I have long heard that your company is very strong in the industry. Our group has always been interested in seeking cooperation. This project is just the beginning. I believe there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future." The representative of XX Group spoke sincerely with eyes full of anticipation.

"We are also honored to cooperate with your group." Gu Jinyan nodded slightly, signaling the young department manager to hand over the prepared cooperation plan to the other party, "This is our preliminary conception of this project, you can take a look first."

The representative of XX Group took the proposal and read it carefully. He nodded from time to time while reading it, and it was obvious that he was very interested in the content of the proposal.

"Mr. Gu, you have a unique vision. This project is very promising. I believe it will be successful." The representative of XX Group closed the proposal and said with appreciation, "Our group is very confident in this project and is willing to invest more resources and strength to jointly develop the market with your company."

Gu Jinyan had a very pleasant conversation with the representative of XX Group. They had an in-depth discussion on the details of the cooperation and quickly reached a consensus.

At this time, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant temperament walked into the VIP reception room. Behind him was a young assistant who was carrying a briefcase that looked heavy.

"Sorry, I'm late." The middle-aged man smiled apologetically and walked up to Gu Jinyan. "I'm the company's financial advisor. I came here today to talk to you about the company's financial affairs."

Gu Jinyan motioned for the financial advisor to sit down, and then gave a brief introduction to the company's current financial situation and bank loans.

The financial advisor listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and wrote something in his notebook.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry. Although the company's financial situation has fluctuated, it is still healthy overall." The financial consultant closed his notebook and said in a steady tone, "I have conducted an in-depth analysis of the company's financial statements and developed a comprehensive financial management plan. I believe it can effectively control risks and improve the efficiency of capital utilization."

He paused, then continued: "As for the bank loan, I will communicate with the bank in person. I believe they will understand our situation and give us the necessary support."

The financial advisor's words were clear, logical, and full of confidence and persuasiveness, which gradually put Gu Jinyan's heart at ease.

He looked at the experienced financial advisor with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Thank you very much."

The financial advisor smiled and said, “That’s what I should do.”

After the meeting, Su Li and Gu Jinyan walked out of the reception room side by side. Neither of them spoke, but they could feel each other's relaxed mood.

"It seems that we can escape danger again this time." Su Li broke the silence, turned to look at Gu Jinyan with a faint smile on her lips.

"Yes." Gu Jinyan nodded, his eyes deep, "But this is just the beginning..."

He suddenly stopped and turned to look at the young department manager behind him, "Go check it out..." The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the floor-to-ceiling windows of Gu's Building, making Su Li and Gu Jinyan's figures particularly slender. The aroma of coffee still lingered in the conference room, but the depressing atmosphere had been swept away, replaced by a sense of relaxation and hope.

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise..." Su Li sighed softly, with a hint of fear between her brows.

Gu Jinyan held her hand, his eyes firm: "We will face it together."

He knew that Su Li had been running around for the subsidiary's affairs, even going so far as to lose face and ask for help. He saw her efforts and kept them in mind.

"However, this also sounded a wake-up call for us." Gu Jinyan's tone was solemn, "There are loopholes in the company's internal management. We must strengthen supervision and improve efficiency."

Su Li nodded in agreement: "You are right, we can't always try to fix the problem after it has happened."

They stood side by side in front of the French window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city. The setting sun dyed the distant buildings golden red, as if heralding a new beginning.

"What are your plans next?" Su Li turned to look at Gu Jinyan, her eyes full of anticipation.

"I have asked the financial advisor to re-formulate the company's development strategy." Gu Jinyan's eyes sparkled, "We must seize this opportunity to open up new markets and enhance the company's core competitiveness."

Su Li showed a gratified smile on her face. She knew that Gu Jinyan was an ambitious man who would definitely lead the company to a more brilliant future.

"By the way, we need you to go to the subsidiary company." Gu Jinyan suddenly remembered something and turned to the young manager behind him and said, "Go check that anonymous report letter..."

Before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Gu Jinyan glanced at the caller ID and his expression instantly became serious.

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed his abnormality and asked with concern.

Gu Jinyan didn't answer, but just looked at her deeply and then answered the phone.

"What did you say?!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was very urgent, but Gu Jinyan still heard the other party's words clearly. His pupils shrank suddenly, and the fingers holding the phone turned slightly white because of excessive force.

Su Li's heart also began to lift, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
