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

A discordant voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, congratulations. I heard that the crisis was handled well this time. It seems that the public relations ability of the Gu Group is still as strong as ever."

The person who spoke was Zhou Ming, the general manager of Zhou Group and the biggest competitor of Gu Group in this project. He held a wine glass with a hypocritical smile on his face, but his tone was full of sarcasm.

Su Li frowned slightly. She could hear the sarcasm in Zhou Ming's words, but she didn't get angry on the spot. She turned to look at Gu Jinyan, only to see that he looked calm, as if he didn't take Zhou Ming's provocation to heart.

"Mr. Zhou, you are too kind." Gu Jinyan responded calmly, "We just did what we should do. Compared with some companies, we pay more attention to product quality and customer trust, rather than using some unspeakable means."

Although Gu Jinyan's tone was calm, his words were full of sharpness, implying that the Zhou Group would do anything to compete. The guests around were all experienced business people, so they naturally heard the hidden tension between the two men, and stopped what they were doing, watching the confrontation with interest.

Zhou Ming's face froze, obviously he didn't expect Gu Jinyan to embarrass him in public. He laughed dryly twice, trying to save face, "Boss Gu is really a joker. Our Zhou Group has always been based on integrity. How could we do such a thing?"

"Whether it is or not, Mr. Zhou knows it clearly." Su Li took over the conversation. She raised her wine glass elegantly and stared at Zhou Ming sharply. "Some things, once done, will definitely leave traces, and they cannot be easily erased."

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, a whisper broke out in the crowd. Some time ago, there were rumors in the industry that the Zhou Group maliciously spread negative news about the Gu Group in order to grab market share, but there was no solid evidence, so it was left unresolved. Now that Su Li brought up the old story again, it undoubtedly pushed the Zhou Group to the forefront again.

Zhou Ming was speechless after hearing Su Li's words, his face turned pale. He glared at Su Li fiercely, put down the wine glass in his hand, said "I'll leave you first", and left the banquet hall in disgrace.

Looking at Zhou Ming's fleeing back, Su Li sneered. She knew that this war had just begun, and the Zhou Group would never give up easily.

"It looks like we'll be busy tonight." Gu Jinyan gently put his arm around Su Li's shoulders and whispered in her ear, with a barely perceptible chill in his tone.

Zhou Ming's sudden departure made the atmosphere in the banquet hall become subtle. The guests looked at each other and whispered even louder. Gu Jinyan didn't care. He raised the champagne in his hand, looked around the room, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you." Gu Jinyan's voice was clear and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention. "I know that there have been a lot of rumors about our Gu Group recently, and some people have even doubted our products and reputation. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to clarify some facts for everyone."

Gu Jinyan paused, his eyes sharpened, "As everyone knows, our Gu Group has always been adhering to the concept of honest business operations and has never done anything that harms the interests of the industry. However, we recently discovered that someone was maliciously spreading rumors about our company, trying to use this to attack our competitors and obtain improper benefits."

He turned his gaze towards the direction Zhou Ming left, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "This despicable method not only violates business ethics, but also tramples on the entire industry! We at Gu Group will never tolerate such behavior!"

As soon as Gu Jinyan finished speaking, a lot of discussion broke out in the banquet hall. People were speculating about who the "certain people" he was talking about were.

At this time, a highly respected industry expert came to the podium. He was the president of the industry association and had a very high reputation in the industry.

"I'm sorry to hear that Gu's Group has encountered such a thing." The president's voice is low and powerful. "Fair competition is the cornerstone of the market economy. Any behavior that disrupts the market order should be condemned. I hope that this incident can cause everyone to reflect. Let us work together to create a more fair and just market environment."

The president's speech won applause from everyone present and also made the situation of Gu Group more favorable.

After the banquet, Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked out of the venue side by side. Su Li took Gu Jinyan's arm and asked softly, "What are you going to do next?"

Gu Jinyan turned his head and looked at Su Li, with a meaningful smile on his face, "Just wait and see..."

As night falls, the city lights come on, like gems dotted on black velvet, flickering with a hazy light. In the meeting room on the top floor of Gu Group, the atmosphere is completely opposite to the night scene, solemn and depressing.

On the huge projection screen, various media reports on Zhou Ming and his company's unfair competition were played in a rolling manner. The pressure of public opinion was overwhelming, making Zhou Ming and others almost breathless.

"Gu Jinyan, you're so cruel!" Zhou Ming gritted his teeth and stared at the screen of his mobile phone. On the screen, Gu Jinyan was being interviewed by a reporter. He was calm and spoke eloquently, exposing the despicable deeds of the Zhou Group one by one.

"At this point, what else can you do?" The assistant next to Zhou Ming looked pale and his voice trembled.

Zhou Ming sat dejectedly in his chair, knowing that he had reached a dead end. Finally, under tremendous pressure, he had to hold a press conference, publicly admitting his mistakes and promising to compete fairly in the future.

This turmoil ended with the Gu Group's complete victory.

A few days later, a grand business summit was held in City A, where elites from all walks of life gathered to discuss development plans. Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked into the venue hand in hand, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

In a corner of the summit, Gu Jinyan and Su Li once again met the previously hesitant representatives of the partners.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, we were inconsiderate last time. I hope you don't mind." The representative of the partner took the initiative to extend his hand with an apologetic look on his face.

"Let the past be the past. We value future cooperation more." Su Li smiled slightly, her tone gentle but firm.

After a sincere exchange and detailed plan introduction, the representatives of the cooperation party were impressed by the professional attitude and foresight of Gu Jinyan and Su Li. Finally, the two parties signed a cooperation agreement in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.

When the news came out, the entire industry was shocked.

It was late at night, and in the hotel's conference room, Gu Jinyan and Su Li were still making new plans for future development.

"We won beautifully this time, but..." Gu Jinyan put down the documents in his hand and looked at Su Li with deep eyes.

"But what?" Su Li raised her head and asked puzzledly.

"This game is far from over..." "But what?" Su Li put down the pen in her hand, rubbed her sore eyes, and looked at Gu Jinyan with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes.

Gu Jinyan's deep gaze fell on Su Li's face, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "We were able to succeed this time. Luck is certainly important, but more importantly, we seized the opportunity and made adequate preparations. But..."

He paused deliberately and observed Su Li's expression.

Su Li was indeed even more curious and asked, "But what?"

Gu Jinyan walked to the French window, overlooking the night view of the entire city, and said slowly: "The mall is like a battlefield. Although we won this time, it does not mean that we can sit back and relax in the future. Although Zhou Ming was defeated, the power behind him should not be underestimated, and..."

He turned around, stared at Su Li with burning eyes, and said word by word: "We still have more powerful opponents who have not yet appeared."

Su Li's heart was shocked. She understood what Gu Jinyan meant. This business summit allowed them to see many forces hidden in the dark. Those people were the real business tycoons who had the ability to turn the tide.

"You mean... there are still people who want to deal with Gu?" Su Li asked with a hint of worry in her tone.

Gu Jinyan walked over to Su Li, gently held her hand, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Business is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. We must always stay vigilant to remain invincible."

"I believe you." Su Li held Gu Jinyan's hand, her eyes full of trust and determination.

Gu Jinyan looked at the woman who was becoming more and more stylish, and his heart was filled with pride and pride. He knew that no matter what challenges they encountered in the future, they would go hand in hand and overcome them together.

"Let's go," Gu Jinyan picked up his coat and put it on Su Li's shoulders, "We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

The next day, in the Gu Group Building, sunlight poured into the spacious office through the bright French windows, adding a touch of warmth to the originally cold atmosphere. Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked into the conference room side by side. All the employees were already seated, and their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Everyone," Gu Jinyan said in a steady and powerful voice, "We have achieved great success in this business summit..."

His eyes swept across everyone present, and finally stopped at Su Li. A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued, "And all of this is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of everyone present..."
