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

The sound of the report was like thunder in the silent office, and Su Li's heart trembled violently with the sound. She saw Gu Jinyan's face was ashen, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and his clenched fist seemed to be trembling slightly. The air seemed to be frozen, and it was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

"Redesign? Is there enough time?" Su Li's voice trembled slightly, but she still forced herself to calm down.

The quality inspector looked embarrassed and hesitantly said: "Time... I'm afraid..."

"Speak!" Gu Jinyan raised his head suddenly, staring at him with sharp eyes, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

"The redesign will take at least a week, and the new product launch..." The quality inspector's voice became lower and lower, and finally almost inaudible.

"One week?!" Su Li gasped and turned pale instantly. One week meant that all their previous efforts would be wasted, that the new product launch would not be held as scheduled, and that the Gu Group would face an unprecedented crisis...

"Mr. Gu, about the new supplier..." The assistant pushed the door open hurriedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"What's wrong again?" There was a hint of fatigue and irritability in Gu Jinyan's voice.

The assistant took a deep breath and said, "The new supplier just called and asked to increase the price and shorten the delivery time, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Otherwise, refuse to cooperate." The assistant's voice became smaller and smaller, and he almost didn't dare to look up at Gu Jinyan's face.

"They are taking advantage of the situation!" Su Li couldn't help but whisper, his tone full of anger and helplessness.

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, but walked to the French window and looked at the bustling city night scene outside the window, but his eyes were cold. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger. He knew that now was not the time to lose his temper. The most urgent thing was to find a solution to the problem.

"Tell the new supplier that we can negotiate the price, but the delivery time must be carried out according to the contract, otherwise..." Gu Jinyan paused and said in a firm tone, "Otherwise we will look for another partner."

The assistant took the order and left, and the office returned to a suffocating silence. Su Li looked at Gu Jinyan's tall back, feeling mixed emotions. She knew what this crisis meant to the Gu Group and what it meant to Gu Jinyan.

Suddenly, the office door was knocked again, and the voice of the venue manager came from outside the door, "Mr. Gu, regarding the venue for the new product launch..."

"Come in." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and tired.

The venue manager pushed the door open with an apologetic look on his face. "Mr. Gu, regarding the venue for the new product launch, I just received news that the original venue caught fire due to aging circuits. Although the fire has been brought under control, it needs to be fully overhauled and repaired. It will take at least a week to resume use."

"What?!" Su Li exclaimed, her face turning even paler. Before one wave of troubles subsided, another wave of troubles arose. Was this new product launch really going to be a failure?

Gu Jinyan's face was also terribly gloomy. He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any other alternative venues?"

The venue manager looked embarrassed. "Time is too tight. Almost all the venues that meet our requirements have been booked. I am contacting several others, but my hope is slim."

The office fell into silence again, with only the clock on the wall ticking, as if mercilessly reminding them that time was passing by every second.

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that now was not the time to panic. The more critical the situation, the more she had to stay calm. She looked at Gu Jinyan and said firmly, "Jinyan, let's split up! I'll find a way to solve the product problem, and you go find a new site."

Gu Jinyan was slightly stunned, then nodded. He knew that Su Li was right. Now was not the time to hesitate. They must race against time to win the battle.

"Okay, I'll go contact other venues. You should also hurry up and contact me if you have any questions." Gu Jinyan said, picked up his coat, and strode out of the office.

Su Li watched Gu Jinyan leave, then turned to look at the quality inspector and said firmly, "Let's get started. Gather all the technicians and hold an emergency meeting immediately!"

The quality inspector looked at Su Li's determined eyes and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He nodded heavily and turned to carry out Su Li's orders.

Su Li looked at the pile of documents on the table, took a deep breath, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.

"We can do it!" she whispered, her tone full of confidence and determination.

She picked up a design drawing, spread it out, and gently stroked the lines on the drawing with her slender fingers, her eyes focused and serious.

"Give me the structural diagram and bill of materials for this product," she said without looking up.

"Yes!" The quality inspector immediately handed over the information Su Li needed.

Su Li took the information and read it carefully, frowning slightly and falling into deep thought...

Su Li quickly called all the technical staff together, and the conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere. She spread the design drawings on the table, pointed to one of the parts and said, "This is the problem. We need to redesign the structure of this part to improve its wear resistance."

"But Mr. Su, this will increase the production cost of the products," a technician said worriedly.

"I know," Su Li said firmly, "but we must ensure the quality of our products. This is our bottom line. We can think of other ways to solve the cost problem, such as reducing expenses in other links."

Under the leadership of Su Li, the technical team began intensive design and modification work. Su Li worked closely with the quality inspectors and conducted rigorous tests for each design modification to ensure the feasibility and reliability of the new solution. Time passed by minute by minute, and the lights in the conference room were on all night. The efforts of Su Li and the technical team finally paid off.

On the other hand, Gu Jinyan was also struggling for the venue. He contacted all the contacts he could and finally found a hotel with a temporarily vacant banquet hall that could meet the basic needs of the new product launch.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry, we will do our best to cooperate with your requirements and complete the layout of the venue as soon as possible." The hotel manager patted his chest and assured.

Gu Jinyan nodded, feeling relieved. He knew that time was running out and he had to race against time to complete all the preparations before the press conference.

Just when Su Li and Gu Jinyan thought that everything was moving in the right direction, a sudden phone call broke the brief peace.

"Mr. Gu, it's bad. The new supplier suddenly changed his mind. They demanded..." The anxious voice of the assistant came from the other end of the phone, and Gu Jinyan's face instantly turned gloomy.

"What do they want?" Gu Jinyan clenched his fists and asked, suppressing his anger.

"They demand... to double the supply price, otherwise the contract will be terminated!" The assistant's voice was trembling, and he was obviously frightened by the supplier's exorbitant price.

Gu Jinyan's face turned pale. He never expected that at this critical moment, the new supplier would actually take advantage of the situation and make such unreasonable demands. He knew that if he agreed to their conditions, the company would suffer huge losses, but if he did not agree, the press conference would face the risk of not being able to be held on time.

"I understand. You calm them down first. I'll be back soon." Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He hung up the phone and walked out of the hotel quickly. He knew that a new storm was coming towards him.
