Chapter 204 Secret Game
In Lin Chuyue's office, light streamed through the curtains onto her desk. She sat upright in her chair, her thoughts churning like ocean waves. She raised her hand, gently rubbing her forehead, organizing the details of the phone call she'd just had with the finance department. Shen Fang hadn't returned to China, but her overseas operations clearly hadn't ceased. And tonight's events—Luo Yurou's composure and her interaction with Li Zhanchuan—had stirred a sense of unease within Lin Chuyue.
She knew that this game was no longer just a contest between Shen Fang and her; many people were secretly vying for their own interests.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Lin Chuyue looked up and saw Wang Peng push the door open and come in.
"President Lin, there are some things I need to report to you." Wang Peng's expression was more serious than usual, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Lin Chuyue gestured for him to sit down, her eyes sharp: "What is it?"
Wang Peng sat down at the table and said in a low voice, "Today, we received information from some channels that Luo Yurou has recently been in contact with several large companies, especially her relationship with a multinational investment group, which is gradually warming up."
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow slightly: "A multinational investment group? Who exactly is it?"
“It’s Tianyuan Capital.” Wang Peng lowered his head, his expression complicated. “They’ve been looking to invest in some high-tech projects recently, and Luo Yurou’s collaboration with them is clearly an attempt to seize that opportunity.”
Alarm bells rang in Lin Chuyue's mind instantly. Tianyuan Capital, as an internationally influential investment group, possessed extremely rich resources and a powerful financial chain. If it were to establish a cooperative relationship with Luo Yurou, it would inevitably create enormous competitive pressure in future business competition, and might even affect her position within the company and the entire industry.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath: "What does this mean?"
Wang Peng said in a deep voice, "Luo Yurou's cooperation with Tianyuan Capital may be aimed at establishing a broader business network through this project, thereby leveraging the market. If she obtains this investment, she will be a very strong competitor."
Lin Chuyue's lips curled up slightly, her eyes cold: "Continue to follow up and make sure you have a clear grasp of her movements."
"Understood." Wang Peng nodded, clearly realizing the seriousness of the problem.
Lin Chuyue watched him leave, her gaze still sharp as a blade. She could sense an invisible force quietly gathering; Luo Yurou's ambitions weren't limited to personal growth, but might even involve control of her company's future. She couldn't afford to be careless.
That night, Lin Chuyue sat alone in her apartment, documents and business materials scattered on the table. Her eyes were fixed on the data charts on the screen, her mind constantly calculating. Although Shen Fang's schemes had temporarily subsided, her competitors were clearly not resting. The appearance of Luo Yurou and the cooperation with Tianyuan Capital were challenges she had to face.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up, and Gu Yanchuan's name appeared on the caller ID.
Lin Chuyue was silent for a moment before answering the phone: "Hello?"
"Chuyue, how have you been lately?" Gu Yanchuan's voice was still gentle, but there was a hint of concern in his tone.
Lin Chuyue chuckled and replied, "It's alright, it's just that some things within the company are a bit troublesome."
"Do you need my help?" Gu Yanchuan's tone was gentle again, carrying an undeniable concern.
“Not for now.” Lin Chuyue frowned slightly. “However, are you aware that Tianyuan Capital has been making some moves recently?”
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before Gu Yanchuan finally spoke: "You mean Luo Yurou's contact with Tianyuan Capital?"
Lin Chuyue did not answer, waiting for him to continue.
“I’ve heard about it.” Gu Yanchuan’s tone became steady. “Tianyuan Capital has recently increased its investment in several projects, which has had an impact on the entire industry. Luo Yurou is clearly trying to gain a foothold with the support of Tianyuan Capital.”
"What is her goal?" Lin Chuyue asked coldly.
“It’s not what you think.” Gu Yanchuan’s tone turned serious. “She’s not entirely trying to challenge you, but rather she wants to gain a larger share of the capital market through Tianyuan Capital. She wants to enhance her business standing and influence through this collaboration.”
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly: "I understand."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Gu Yanchuan's voice came through again: "Be careful, Luo Yurou isn't as simple as you think. She's very shrewd in her dealings, especially in business."
"I know," Lin Chuyue said firmly. "Thank you for reminding me."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuyue sat quietly in her chair, her thoughts in turmoil. Luo Yurou's goal wasn't to directly compete with her, but rather to leverage external capital to gradually establish her own foothold in the industry. This change added another layer of pressure to Lin Chuyue's heart. She knew that if she couldn't respond to this challenge in time, she would face an even greater crisis in the future.
But she wasn't one to give up easily. Lin Chuyue gripped the documents tightly in her hand, her eyes resolute, silently making a decision: she had to strike first, seize Luo Yurou's weakness, and thwart her plans.
This game is destined to have no turning back.
