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

As night fell, in the conference room of the financial institution, Su Li and Gu Jinyan had been discussing with investment bankers and representatives of regulatory authorities for several hours. The air was filled with tension and seriousness, documents piled up on the desk, and the light of the projector reflected on everyone's tired faces.

"Mr. Lu, please believe that we will definitely overcome the current difficulties. The company's listing plan will not change. We are full of confidence in the future." Although Su Li's voice was tired, her tone was still firm, and her eyes revealed an unyielding will.

Mr. Lu, an experienced investment banker, tapped his fingers on the table, frowned slightly, and seemed to be weighing something. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Ms. Su, Mr. Gu, I see your determination and plan, but the market is changing rapidly, with risks and opportunities. I need more time to evaluate, and..."

He paused, glanced at Su Li and Gu Jinyan, and said word by word: "I need to see your actual actions."

Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand, gave her a firm look, turned to Mr. Lu and said, "Mr. Lu, you will see that we will do what we say."

At the same time, representatives of Gu Group's competitors also got the news. They gathered together and plotted how to use this opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Gu.

"Gu Jinyan and Su Li are in a desperate situation now. This is a good time for us to take action!" a representative said excitedly, with greed flashing in his eyes.

"That's right. As long as we add fuel to the fire, we can completely ruin Gu's listing plan. Then..." Another representative smiled sinisterly and didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew it well.

They decided to intensify their attacks on Gu's enterprises, spread all kinds of rumors that were unfavorable to Gu, and secretly contacted Gu's partners, trying to get them to give up their cooperation with Gu. For a time, the storm was coming, and Gu's Group was facing an unprecedented crisis...

Back at Gu Group, the auditor team was still working through the night, carefully checking every document and every transaction record, hoping to find the key to solving the problem. Suddenly, a young auditor stood up from his seat as if he had discovered something, and said, "Found it!"

In the conference room, the excited voice of a young auditor broke the silence. He pointed excitedly at a set of data on the computer screen and said in a hurried and excited tone: "I found it! The problem lies in an investment project of an overseas subsidiary. There is a deviation in the accounting treatment, which has led to the loss on the financial statements being magnified..."

He explained the problem in detail and proposed a solution. Experienced auditors gathered around, carefully checked the data and information, and finally confirmed his findings.

"Good job, Xiao Li!" The head of the audit team patted the young man on the shoulder and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

The news soon reached Su Li and Gu Jinyan. They looked at each other and saw the light of hope in each other's eyes. Gu Jinyan immediately called the company's top management for an emergency meeting.

"Everyone, the situation we are facing now is very serious. Our competitors are taking every opportunity to attack us in an attempt to prevent our plan to go public." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and powerful, and his tone revealed his unquestionable determination. "But we will never give up easily! The audit team has found the problem with the financial statements. We are confident that we can solve this problem and prove our strength to the market!"

Su Li continued his words: "I have contacted the public relations team, and we will take all necessary measures to clarify the facts and maintain the company's reputation. At the same time, we must also strengthen internal management and supervision to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy and solemn, and everyone felt the burden and responsibility on their shoulders. They knew that this was a war without gunpowder smoke, which was related to the survival of the company.

In the following days, Gu Group worked together and carried out work in an orderly manner according to the established plan. The audit team worked overtime to correct the errors in the financial statements and issued a new audit report. The public relations team actively responded to media questions, issued clarification statements, and collected evidence to initiate legal proceedings against those who maliciously spread rumors.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan took the lead and personally visited important partners to explain the company's current situation and future development plans to them, stabilizing their cooperative relationship. They also strengthened communication with regulatory authorities to gain their understanding and support.

Everything is moving in a good direction, but Su Li and Gu Jinyan know that this is far from enough. They have to face not only the current crisis, but also the more brutal market competition in the future.

A few days later, Mr. Lu came to Gu Group again. He looked at the young couple in front of him, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Mr. Gu, Miss Su..."

Mr. Lu paused and glanced at Su Li and Gu Jinyan. "After this period of observation and evaluation, we believe that Gu Group still has great potential. We are willing to continue to support your listing plan."

Before Su Li and Gu Jinyan could show their joy, Mr. Lu's next words made their hearts tighten.

"However," Mr. Lu changed his tone, "in view of a series of recent events, we need to reassess the risks, so we will raise the listing requirements for Gu Group."

He handed over a document and said, "This is our revised cooperation agreement. You can take a closer look."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan took the document and quickly glanced through it, their faces becoming more solemn. In the new agreement, the investment bank raised the requirements for Gu Group's profitability, market share, etc., and shortened the listing period.

"Mr. Lu, these conditions are too harsh," Gu Jinyan said in a deep voice, "It is a huge challenge for us to complete these goals in such a short time."

"I know it's not easy," Mr. Lu said calmly, "but the market is cruel. You must prove your strength to win the trust of investors."

Coming out of the conference room, Su Li and Gu Jinyan didn't say a word. They walked side by side in the company corridor, their steps heavy, as if they were carrying a heavy burden.

"Don't worry, we will figure it out," Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand and gave her a firm look.

Su Lihui held his hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and felt relieved. "Well, I believe you."

In the following days, Su Li and Gu Jinyan devoted themselves to their work. They readjusted the company's strategy, optimized the internal management structure, and actively explored new markets. They worked until late at night every day, often eating simple takeout in the office together and discussing solutions.

Although it was hard work, they felt an unprecedented tacit understanding and unity. Whenever they encountered difficulties, they would encourage and support each other and work together to find solutions to the problems.

"What do you think of this plan?" In the office late at night, Su Li pointed at the computer screen and said to Gu Jinyan excitedly.

"Yes, this plan is very creative. You can give it a try." Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li with admiration in his eyes.

They fought side by side, stood together through thick and thin, and their feelings deepened in adversity. However, just when they thought everything was moving in the right direction, a bigger storm was quietly approaching.

That evening, Su Li and Gu Jinyan received a special email from an anonymous sender. The content of the email was very simple, with only one sentence and a picture.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see. I look forward to meeting you again in the business world."

The picture shows the competitor's representative with a half-smile on his face...

Su Li and Gu Jinyan's faces suddenly became solemn. Of course they recognized the person in the photo. It was their business rival, the representative of Wang Group, Wang Tao.

"It seems that our recent efforts have touched the interests of some people." Gu Jinyan sneered and deleted the email. "Want to interfere with our listing? That's not that easy!"

Su Li also put away her usual gentleness and looked determined, "If they want to play, we will play with them to the end! I want to see who has the last laugh!"

They knew that the Wang Group was powerful and ruthless, and would never give up easily. This provocation was undoubtedly a dangerous signal, indicating that a bigger storm was coming.

Gu Jinyan immediately called together the company's top management and disclosed all the provocations and threats from competitors. His face was stern and his tone was firm, "I know that the days ahead will be even more difficult, but we must not back down! We must unite as one, face the challenges head-on, and defend the company's honor and interests!"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, but everyone's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. They were all elites of the Gu Group, who had experienced countless hardships and had already developed a steel-like will.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry, we will do our best!"

"We are not afraid of challenges and we will defend the company to the death!"

……

The deafening slogans echoed in the conference room for a long time. Su Li looked at the high-spirited team in front of her and was full of confidence. She believed that as long as they were united, no difficulties could stop them from moving forward.

However, they did not know that Wang Tao's conspiracy was far more complicated and sinister than they had imagined. A war without the smoke of gunpowder was about to begin...

"I've already made the arrangements," Wang Tao put down the phone in his hand, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "This time, I will completely bring down the Gu Group!" A vicious light flashed in his eyes, "The game has just begun..."
