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

Su Li came in with a cup of hot milk and gently placed it on the table. "Haven't you rested yet? There will always be a way to solve the problem. Don't work too hard."

Gu Jinyan raised his head and looked at Su Li's tired face, his heart filled with guilt and heartache. This sudden crisis also put Su Li under tremendous pressure.

"I'm fine, but..." He hesitated to speak. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he still couldn't find a way out of the dilemma.

"Just what?" Su Li asked. She knew that Gu Jinyan must be hiding something from her.

Gu Jinyan was silent for a moment, and finally decided to tell Su Li the truth, "I plan to... sell the overseas branch."

"What?!" Su Li exclaimed. The overseas branch is the Gu Group's hard work over the years and is also the top priority for future development. How can it be sold so easily?

"I know this is hard to accept, but this is the only option at the moment." Gu Jinyan's tone was filled with helplessness and bitterness, "Only in this way can we raise enough funds to solve the company's urgent needs."

Su Li understood that what Gu Jinyan said was right, but her heart was still filled with reluctance and worry.

"Really... is there no other way?" Su Li's voice trembled a little. She was unwilling to give up like this, and she couldn't bear to see Gu Jinyan's years of hard work go to waste.

Gu Jinyan was about to speak when he was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door. "Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, there is a man who claims to be Mr. Wang from the Lin Group and wants to see you."

Lin Group? Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. Could it be...

Mr. Wang's visit brought a ray of light to this gloomy predicament. It turned out that Lin's Group had been paying attention to Gu's developments and admired Gu's products and ideas. This raw material crisis gave them an opportunity for cooperation, and they hoped to establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with Gu and provide high-quality raw materials.

"Mr. Gu, we are very confident in your company's strength and potential," Mr. Wang said, handing over a letter of intent for cooperation. "This is the preliminary cooperation plan we have drawn up, please take a look."

Gu Jinyan took the document and read it carefully. Su Li poured tea for them, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

This cooperation plan is undoubtedly a timely help. It not only solves the problem of raw materials, but more importantly, the joining of Lin Group will bring Gu Group a broader market and development space.

After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus. Gu Jinyan and Mr. Wang signed their names on the cooperation agreement and smiled at each other, saying that everything was said without words.

"This cooperation is really thanks to President Wang," Su Li said sincerely after seeing President Wang off, "If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do."

"Ms. Su is so polite. We are also impressed by Gu's strength and potential," Mr. Wang said with a smile, "I believe that this cooperation is a win-win choice for both of us."

After watching Mr. Wang leave, Su Li and Gu Jinyan returned to the office. The originally solemn atmosphere in the office was swept away, replaced by relaxation and joy.

"It seems that we don't need to sell our overseas branches." Su Li said with a smile.

Gu Jinyan nodded, his eyes flashing with determination, "Not only that, we also want to..."

"Not only that, we also need to take this opportunity to thoroughly optimize the company's supply chain." Gu Jinyan took over Su Li's words, his eyes flashing with shrewdness, "This crisis has exposed our problem of over-reliance on a single supplier. We need to plan ahead and establish a more stable and diversified supply system."

Su Li nodded in agreement, "You are right. We can learn from the cooperation model of the Lin Group this time and find more high-quality suppliers. While dispersing risks, we can also improve bargaining power and reduce costs."

In the next few days, Su Li and Gu Jinyan started to reform the supply chain without stopping. They visited many potential suppliers and conducted a comprehensive assessment of the quality, price, and supply capacity of raw materials. At the same time, they also sorted out the company's internal processes, optimized the procurement process, and improved efficiency.

Just when everything was going in the right direction, an unexpected incident broke the peace. The new supplier suddenly informed Gu that it could not deliver on time due to a shortage of raw materials. This sudden change made Su Li and Gu Jinyan realize that things were not that simple.

"How could this happen? Didn't we confirm before that there were no problems with the supply?" Su Li frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Gu Jinyan calmly analyzed: "If I'm not mistaken, there must be someone behind this, trying to prevent us from cooperating with new suppliers."

After investigation, they found that in order to prevent Gu's from overcoming the crisis, the competitor secretly put pressure on the new supplier, causing supply problems. Faced with the malicious competition of competitors, Su Li and Gu Jinyan did not sit idly by, they decided to take the initiative.

"Since they want to play, we will play with them to the end." Gu Jinyan's eyes flashed with a fierceness. He contacted the lawyer team and prepared to take legal measures to protect the company's legitimate rights and interests. At the same time, Su Li also actively contacted the media to make the competitor's despicable behavior public.

Under the dual pressure of Su Li and Gu Jinyan, the competitor's conspiracy was finally exposed and had to publicly apologize and compensate for the losses. The new supplier also resumed supply, and Gu's production and operation gradually got back on track.

There was a gentle knock on the office door, and the voice of the HR manager came from outside the door: "Mr. Gu, Miss Su..."

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, employee representatives and the HR manager of the overseas branch want to see you." The HR manager's voice was a little excited, and it was obvious that he also felt the atmosphere of relief throughout the company.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, and they both saw relief in each other's eyes. "Let them in." Gu Jinyan said lightly.

After a while, several employee representatives and human resources managers in work uniforms walked into the office. The employee representatives looked excited and grateful, and they bowed deeply to Su Li and Gu Jinyan.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, thank you! Thank you for not giving up on us and saving the company!" One of the representatives' eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs. Other employee representatives also echoed, their words were full of admiration and gratitude for Su Li and Gu Jinyan.

The HR manager also said with emotion: "Yes, this time, thanks to the strategic planning of Mr. Gu and Ms. Su, the company was able to overcome the difficulties. On behalf of all the employees of the company, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you!"

Su Li smiled gently, "We are all doing this for the good of the company, no need to be so polite. Now that the crisis has been resolved, we must all work together to make the company better."

Gu Jinyan also nodded and said with a firm look: "This crisis has taught us valuable lessons. In the future, we will pay more attention to risk prevention and control and establish a more complete management system. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, Gu's will surely create greater glory!"

The whole company was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. Su Li and Gu Jinyan struck while the iron was hot and launched a series of new products. With excellent quality and good reputation, they quickly occupied the market share. The company's performance also achieved a substantial growth like a rocket.

"Mr. Gu, this is the plan for the company's celebration banquet next month. You and your wife would like to take a look and see if there is anything else you want to add?" The assistant handed a document to Gu Jinyan with a respectful tone.

Gu Jinyan took the document and flipped through it casually, with an imperceptible smile on his face. "Just arrange these things for you, don't ask me about everything..." He paused and turned his gaze to Su Li, "What do you think?"

"I have no objection, you can arrange it." Su Li smiled gently, the dazzling crystal chandelier reflected in her eyes, making it even more dazzling.

Gu Jinyan nodded, put down the documents, held Su Li's hand, and interlocked their fingers. "Then let's go to the lounge first. The celebration banquet will start soon."

"Okay." Su Li responded gently, allowing Gu Jinyan to lead her through the long corridor towards the banquet hall.

The company's celebration banquet was held in the sky garden on the top floor of Gu's Group, where the view was wide and one could overlook the night view of the entire city. At this moment, the garden was brightly lit, with elegant people in fine clothes and clinking glasses, creating a lively scene.

When Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked into the banquet hall hand in hand, everyone's attention was attracted by this perfect couple.

Gu Jinyan was wearing a well-cut black suit, which made him look tall and handsome, while Su Li was wearing a champagne-colored dress, which made her skin whiter than snow and her elegant temperament stand out. The two of them standing together looked like a perfect match made in heaven, and people couldn't take their eyes off them.

"Hello, Mr. Gu! Hello, Ms. Su!" The employees greeted them one after another, their tone full of admiration and blessings.

Gu Jinyan nodded slightly with a faint smile on his face, while Su Li responded to everyone's greetings warmly with a gentle and bright smile.

The celebration banquet kicked off with laughter and joy. Gu Jinyan delivered a passionate speech, thanking all employees for their contributions to the company and looking forward to the company's future development prospects. His speech won rounds of applause and made the employees full of confidence in the future.

Afterwards, Gu Jinyan raised his glass and toasted all the employees. Su Li also raised her glass, stood beside him, and clinked glasses with everyone with a sweet smile.

"Cheers to the Gu family! Cheers to the future!"

"cheers!"

Amid the cheers, the scene of Gu Jinyan and Su Li holding hands and toasting together to celebrate was frozen at this moment. The flash lights came on, recording this happy scene, and also drawing a perfect end to the whole story...

However, just when everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of joy and relaxation, Gu Jinyan's phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID, his face changed slightly, and he whispered to Su Li: "I'll go answer the call."

"Well, go ahead." Su Li nodded gently and watched Gu Jinyan walk aside to answer the phone.

Gu Jinyan answered the phone, frowned slightly, and asked in a serious tone: "What's the matter?"

The production manager's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss Gu, something bad has happened..."
