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

"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: "Mr. Gu, that's great! Orders for new products have skyrocketed, and the production line is already running at full capacity, but demand still exceeds supply!"

Hearing this news, Gu Jinyan's face did not show the slightest panic, but instead showed a confident smile. He said in a deep voice: "I understand, you tell the workers not to worry, to ensure product quality, and to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. I will arrange for manpower support as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinyan returned to Su Li and told her what had just happened. After hearing this, Su Li also showed a relieved smile on her face.

"It seems that our efforts have not been in vain. The new product has finally opened up the market." Su Li said.

"Yes, this is all thanks to your persistence." Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li, his eyes full of gratitude and love, "If it weren't for you, I might have given up long ago."

In order to celebrate this hard-earned victory and to further enhance the company's visibility and influence, Gu Jinyan and Su Li decided to hold a grand celebration event in the local area and invite local business leaders, partners and media friends to participate.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation. On the day of the celebration, countless guests came to the venue, and the whole venue was crowded and lively. As the host, Gu Jinyan and Su Li warmly entertained every guest, and their faces were always filled with confident and happy smiles.

However, at this moment, the HR manager came over in a hurry, looking a little serious...

The noise in the banquet hall seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. The HR manager lowered his voice, but his tone could not hide his joy: "Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, I have good news for you! The talent turnover rate of our company has dropped to the lowest level in history. In addition, the number of resumes we received recently is three times that of the previous quarter. Among them are many industry elites, and they all expressed a strong desire to join our company."

Hearing this news, Gu Jinyan and Su Li smiled at each other. They understood that this was not just a change in numbers, but also the result of the concerted efforts of the entire company. Gu Jinyan patted the HR manager on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Very good, you did a good job. Keep it up and be sure to recruit more outstanding talents for the company."

"Yes, Mr. Gu!" The HR manager got the affirmation, his face full of excitement, and he retreated back into the crowd with high morale.

At this time, a government official came towards them with a glass of wine in hand. He shook Gu Jinyan's hand enthusiastically and said loudly: "Mr. Gu, congratulations! Your company's recent development momentum is really unstoppable and impressive! You have not only made great contributions to the local economy, but also established a good corporate image for us!"

"You're flattering me. This is what we should do." Gu Jinyan responded modestly, while turning sideways to introduce Su Li to the official, "This is my wife, Su Li."

"Ms. Su, I've heard a lot about you." The official extended his hand to Su Li enthusiastically. "I've heard a lot about you. We have all seen your contributions to the company. You are truly as capable as any man!"

"Thank you for your compliment." Su Li responded generously, "Jin Yan and I will continue to work hard and live up to everyone's expectations."

The official nodded with satisfaction, raised his glass, and said sincerely: "I believe that with your company's current strength and development momentum, the future will be even brighter! Our government will continue to support you and provide you with more favorable policies and resources. I hope we can work together to create a better future!"

"Thank you for your support!" Gu Jinyan and Su Li raised their glasses again and smiled at the officials. The three glasses filled with fine wine gently clinked together, and the crisp sound seemed to foreshadow a better future...

However, at this moment, Su Li's eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd, and her smile suddenly froze on her face, with a barely perceptible flash of worry in her eyes. She gently pulled Gu Jinyan's sleeve and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Jinyan, look..."

Gu Jinyan followed Su Li's gaze and saw the manager of the overseas branch drinking alone in the corner of the banquet hall, with a look of loneliness and reluctance written all over his face.

"It seems that some are happy and some are sad." Gu Jinyan said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Let's go and take a look." Su Li said softly. She knew that this manager had contributed a lot to the company. Now that the overseas branch's performance was booming, he had become an "outsider" and must be feeling bad.

The two walked to the manager, and Su Li asked gently, "Manager Wang, why are you drinking alone here? Is the wine today not to your liking?"

Manager Wang raised his head and saw that it was Gu Jinyan and Su Li. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, I'm fine, but..."

He hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, "The company is developing so well now, it's time for an old guy like me to step down and let others take over."

Gu Jinyan patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Manager Wang, we all know that you have made an indelible contribution to the success of the overseas branch. You have contributed so much to the company, and we all remember it in our hearts."

"Yes, Manager Wang," Su Li continued, "During this period, Jin Yan and I have been paying attention to the situation of overseas branches. We all admire your abilities and experience, but..."

Su Li paused and looked at Manager Wang sincerely, "The company needs fresh blood and talents who are more familiar with the local market. We hope that you can return to the headquarters and pass on your experience and wisdom to more people, so as to help the company cultivate more outstanding talents."

Manager Wang was silent for a moment. He knew that what Su Li and Gu Jinyan said was true. He nodded, with a hint of relief in his tone: "I understand. Thank you for your understanding and trust."

In order to better manage the overseas branch, Su Li and Gu Jinyan decided to promote an employee who had worked in the local area for many years as the branch manager. This employee was named Li Ming, who worked hard, had outstanding abilities, and had a deep understanding of the local market.

After Li Ming was appointed as the new manager, Su Li and Gu Jinyan did not leave him alone, but gave him full trust and support. They held video conferences with Li Ming regularly to understand the operation of the branch and provide guidance and assistance based on the actual situation.

Under the leadership of Su Li and Gu Jinyan, the overseas branch entered the fast lane of development. They not only achieved breakthroughs in performance, but more importantly, they built a dynamic and cohesive team.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan knew that the success of a company was inseparable from the efforts of every employee. In order to enhance the sense of belonging and team cohesion of employees, they carried out a series of cultural construction activities within the company.

They organize employee tours to help employees relax and get to know each other better; they hold various skills trainings to help employees improve their quality; they set up an employee care fund to provide assistance to employees in need...

These measures have greatly stimulated the enthusiasm and creativity of employees. The whole company is united and working hard towards a common goal.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for the company's annual meeting again.

The banquet hall was brightly lit and bustling with people. All employees of the company gathered together to celebrate the brilliant achievements made in the past year.

On the stage, Su Li and Gu Jinyan stood side by side, their faces filled with confident smiles.

"Good evening, colleagues and friends!" Gu Jinyan's voice was loud and powerful. "The past year has been an extraordinary year in the history of our company's development..."

His eyes swept across the audience, and finally landed on Su Li's face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "All of this is inseparable from the hard work of everyone present, and even more inseparable from..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid ring of his cell phone.

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID, his expression instantly became solemn.

"Sorry, I have to take a call." He whispered to Su Li, then turned and walked to the corner of the banquet hall.

Su Li looked at Gu Jinyan's back, feeling a little uneasy.

"Hello?" Gu Jinyan's voice was low and rapid.

"What did you say?" His expression suddenly changed, and his tone was full of disbelief.

"How could this be?"

"How could this happen?" Gu Jinyan's voice was filled with disbelief and anxiety. He held the phone with a little force, and his knuckles turned white. After the short call, he took a deep breath, tried to calm his surging emotions, and turned back to the banquet hall.

Su Li noticed that Gu Jinyan looked different, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen in the company?"

Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li's worried eyes, shook his head gently, and forced a smile: "It's okay, it's just a small problem, I have arranged someone to deal with it."

He didn't want to make Su Li worry, nor did he want to ruin this rare joyful atmosphere.

Although Su Li still had doubts in her heart, seeing that Gu Jinyan was unwilling to say more, she stopped asking questions and just held his hand, giving him silent support.

Gu Jinyan returned to the stage and continued his interrupted speech. He reviewed the company's development in the past year with a loud and passionate voice, looked forward to the bright future, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all employees for their hard work.

His speech won prolonged applause from the audience. The employees' faces were filled with smiles of pride and joy, and they felt proud to be part of the company.

The annual meeting ended with laughter and joy. Su Li and Gu Jinyan stood hand in hand in the center of the stage, enjoying the joy of victory. They smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

However, the uneasiness in Gu Jinyan's heart could not be shaken off. That phone call was like a time bomb that prevented him from truly relaxing.

After the banquet, Gu Jinyan sent Su Li back to the room and whispered, "There are still some things to deal with in the company. I'll go to the study first and come back to accompany you later."

Su Li nodded and watched Gu Jinyan leave. His back seemed a little heavier than before.

In the study, Gu Jinyan frowned, holding his phone tightly in his hand. A brief but disturbing message appeared on the screen: "Change of plan, return quickly."
