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

Gu Jinyan hung up the phone, and a hint of gloom flashed across his deep eyes. He returned to Su Li and gently hugged her shoulders, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Su Li gently stroked his cheek, "What's wrong? Is the cooperation not going well?"

Gu Jinyan nodded and told her the harsh conditions proposed by the overseas partners. After Su Li heard it, she frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"It seems that this cooperation is not easy." Su Li murmured to himself, "But we can't give up. The 'Gu Family' needs this opportunity."

Gu Jinyan looked at her affectionately, "You are right, we can't give up easily."

At this time, the organizer of the summit came over and warmly invited them to go to the conference room for more in-depth discussions with representatives of the partners.

The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy and depressing. The partners' representatives were aggressive, questioning Gujia's technical strength and market prospects, and demanding higher technology sharing and market share allocation.

Gu Jinyan responded calmly, refuting the other party's doubts one by one in fluent English and detailed data, and expounded on the advantages of "Gu Family" and the sincerity of cooperation.

Su Li listened quietly, and communicated with Gu Jinyan with her eyes from time to time, giving him support and encouragement. She knew the importance of this negotiation, and believed that Gu Jinyan would be able to find the best solution to the problem.

However, just when the two sides were about to reach a consensus, an accident occurred. The power suddenly went out at the summit site, and all electronic equipment stopped working. The originally brightly lit venue was instantly plunged into darkness.

"what happened?"

"Why did the power suddenly go out?"

The sudden change caused chaos at the scene. The partner representative's face turned pale and he complained unhappily: "What's going on? Is this how you entertain your partners?"

Gu Jinyan frowned and immediately arranged for someone to find out the situation. He had a vague feeling that this sudden power outage was not accidental, and there might be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

Sure enough, the rival leader hiding in the dark looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with a sinister smile on his face. He whispered to his men beside him: "Keep a close eye on them, and don't let them find the backup power supply!"

The men followed the order and disappeared into a dark corner.

At this moment, Su Li, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. She calmly said to Gu Jinyan: "Jinyan, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a solution as soon as possible."

Gu Jinyan looked at her determined eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He held Su Li's hand tightly and asked in a deep voice: "What can you do?"

Su Li took a deep breath and said firmly, "Follow me!" Then, she pulled Gu Jinyan and ran towards the backstage of the venue...

Su Li pulled Gu Jinyan through the panicked crowd and came to the backstage of the venue. She knew that the equipment used in the summit was world-class and that ordinary power failures could not cause such a large-scale power outage. She quickly calmed down and began to carefully check the power system in the backstage, hoping to find the problem. Gu Jinyan assisted her and comforted the anxious staff.

"Look!" Su Li pointed to a red indicator light on the control panel and said to Gu Jinyan, "This shows that the power supply is normal. The problem should be with the circuit connection."

With her years of experience in science and technology and her keen observation of equipment operation, she quickly identified the fault point. Gu Jinyan immediately found tools, and under Su Li's command, the two worked together to repair the circuit fault.

"Okay!" As Su Li pressed the last button, the lights in the venue came on again and the electronic equipment resumed normal operation.

The representative of the partner saw this scene, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He originally thought that this sudden power outage would bring the negotiations to a deadlock, but he did not expect Su Li to be able to solve the problem in such a short time. This ability and courage made him look at her with new eyes.

At the summit dinner that night, Gu Jinyan specially invited the partners to sit at the same table. During the dinner, he sincerely apologized to them and gave a detailed introduction to the development history, corporate culture and future development plans of Gujia.

"We at Gujia have always been adhering to the philosophy of 'technological innovation, serving the society' and are committed to providing the best products and services to global users." Gu Jinyan raised his glass with a firm gaze, "We believe that only by insisting on win-win cooperation can we jointly promote the progress of the industry and create a better future."

The representative of the partner was moved by Gu Jinyan's sincerity and foresight. He raised his glass and clinked it with Gu Jinyan's. "Mr. Gu, I see the sincerity and strength of the 'Gu Family'..." He paused and turned his gaze to the elegant and confident Su Li at the side. "I also see the hope for the future of the 'Gu Family'."

The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious and warm. Gu Jinyan's sincerity and the strength of the "Gu Family" had deeply impressed the representative of the partner. He put down his wine glass, with a smile on his face, and his tone became relaxed: "Mr. Gu, regarding some of the terms in the previous contract, we have carefully considered and decided to make some adjustments."

Gu Jinyan and Su Li exchanged glances. They understood that this meant that the partner had sent out a positive signal.

"We are very grateful for your understanding and support," Gu Jinyan raised his glass, "I believe this will be a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation!"

After the dinner, Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked side by side in the hotel corridor, their faces filled with joyful smiles.

"Thanks to you this time," Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand, his eyes full of gratitude, "If you hadn't solved the power failure in time, we might have missed this opportunity."

Su Li smiled gently, "I just did what I should do, and..." She paused, "I found that it feels really great to fight side by side with you."

Gu Jinyan's heart was gently touched by Su Li's words. He looked at her affectionately, his eyes full of love.

However, just as they were immersed in joy, not far away, a sneaky figure was hiding in the corner, staring at them with vicious eyes.

He is Li Mingxuan, the president of Shengshi Group, the biggest competitor of Gu Family. He originally thought that this summit would be the last performance of Gu Family, but he did not expect that Gu Jinyan could turn danger into safety and even win the favor of the partner.

"Damn it!" Li Mingxuan gnashed his teeth, with jealousy burning in his eyes. He was unwilling to fail like this, and even more unwilling to watch the "Gu Family" move towards glory step by step.

He took out his cell phone and dialed a mysterious number, his tone gloomy and resolute: "Contact the organizer of the summit for me, I have something to talk to her about..."

The next morning, Su Li received a call from the organizer of the summit. The other party's tone was polite but a little distant, and she invited her and Gu Jinyan to her office to discuss the details of the cooperation.

When Su Li and Gu Jinyan walked into the office, they found that the organizer's expression was a little strange. Her eyes were flickering, as if she was deliberately avoiding their gaze.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, regarding this cooperation project..." The organizer paused, with a hint of embarrassment in his tone, "I have to tell you that due to some force majeure factors, we..."

Before she could finish her words, the office door was suddenly pushed open and Li Mingxuan walked in with a smug smile.

"Let me tell you something," Li Mingxuan's eyes swept over Gu Jinyan and Su Li, his tone full of provocation, "From now on, this cooperation project belongs to 'Shengshi Group'."

Su Li's heart sank suddenly. She realized that things were not as simple as she had imagined...

Su Li took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger and anxiety in her heart, turned to look at the organizer of the summit, and said calmly and firmly: "Excuse me, what kind of 'force majeure' caused the sudden change of partners? Is there any hidden secret that we don't know?"

The organizer's eyes flickered, and he stammered and couldn't speak. Li Mingxuan saw this and laughed triumphantly. He walked up to Su Li and said with a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Miss Su, the business world is like a battlefield, and victory and defeat are commonplace. The 'Gu Family' is not strong enough, and it is reasonable that they lost to our 'Shengshi Group'. Why do you have to ask so much?"

Gu Jinyan protected Su Li behind him, looked at Li Mingxuan fiercely, and said in a cold tone: "Boss Li, you are too happy too early! My 'Gu family' does things openly and honestly, unlike some people who only use some shameful means!"

"What do you mean?!" Li Mingxuan's face changed and he asked sternly.

"You know what I mean!" Gu Jinyan looked at him without giving in. "I believe the organizers of the summit will give us a reasonable explanation."

He turned to the organizer and said in a sincere and firm tone: "I believe that the organizers of the summit have always adhered to the principles of fairness, justice and openness. They will never easily change their partners, nor will they favor any party. So, I hope you can tell me the truth about what happened that made us, the Gu Family, lose so clearly!"

The organizer was intimidated by Gu Jinyan's momentum. She hesitated for a moment, finally made up her mind, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Actually... it was Mr. Li..."

Before she finished her words, Li Mingxuan suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! Don't forget who is supporting you behind the scenes! If it weren't for me, do you think you could be in your current position?!"

The organizer was startled by his sudden anger, but seeing the determined eyes of Su Li and Gu Jinyan, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Boss Li... He threatened to withdraw his investment and forced me to change my partner, and also promised to give me a generous reward after the success..."

Li Mingxuan's face suddenly turned livid. He pointed at the organizer and shouted angrily, "You are talking nonsense! You are slandering me!"

"Whether it is slander or not, I think the partner representative knows it best." Su Li spoke calmly. She looked at the partner representative who had remained silent and said sincerely, "You have always been the most respected partner of our 'Gu Family', and we have always believed in your vision and judgment. Therefore, we hope that you can give us a chance to show you the true strength of 'Gu Family'!"

The representative of the partner looked at Su Li deeply, then looked at Li Mingxuan who had a grim expression, and slowly said: "I..."
