Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

"I've finished speaking. Who's in favor? Who's against?" Su Nan's eyes blazed, her voice firm and powerful, radiating undeniable confidence. She stood tall and straight, like an unshakable mountain, and her powerful words resonated through the room, stirring the hearts and minds. Although her proposed marketing strategy was novel and bold, leaving some in the room perplexed and bewildered, the immense commercial potential revealed in her every word was like the dazzling sun behind dark clouds. Even the most cautious members could keenly sense the lucrative benefits it held, and no one dared to raise their voices in dissent.

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was either bowing their heads in thought or glancing at each other, but they all tacitly chose silence. Su Nan's sharp gaze swept across everyone's face, seemingly able to see through their inner thoughts.

"Alright! Since no one has raised any objections, let's proceed with this plan. If any adjustments or improvements are needed in the future, we'll communicate promptly." Su Nan nodded with satisfaction, her lips curling slightly in a confident smile. Then, she decisively announced the meeting's final decision. Her voice was crisp and resolute, like a sharp sword severing all hesitation and indecision.

……

After the meeting, Su Nan walked calmly and leisurely back to the chairman's office. It was spacious and bright, and from the windows, she could enjoy the most magnificent view of the entire city. The rolling hills and winding rivers in the distance, along with the bustling city, were all in sight. This office was not only her window to the world, but also a crucial place for her to handle her daily affairs.

At that moment, she sat quietly behind her desk, the large sandalwood table covered with a mountain of documents and materials. She gently rubbed her temples, trying to relieve the fatigue brought on by the meeting. Her eyes inadvertently fell on a figure in the corner of the room.

"small stone."

"I'm here," Little Stone replied immediately. He stood there, his body tense and his expression a bit nervous. His hands unconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

Su Nan looked serious and said solemnly, "Now, you can tell me everything truthfully, including your real name and...your past experiences."

Hearing this, Little Stone felt as if struck by a heavy club, and he fell to his knees. His face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "Miss, you... you know everything?"

Initially, Su Nan hadn't devoted much effort to delving into Little Stone's origins; after all, he was only twelve years old. However, considering that Little Stone had entered the palace through his beloved daughter, Su Xiang, as the head of the household, naturally wouldn't let his guard down. He dispatched a covert investigation. Only after learning Little Stone's true identity did Su Xiang feel a little more at ease.

Little Stone's voice was tinged with guilt. "I'm sorry, Miss. I really didn't mean to hide this from you. I was forced to do so by the circumstances. My real name is Chen Feifan, and I'm from Feiyun Province in the southern part of the Great Xia Empire. My family is quite prestigious and well-known in the local area. We have a large business, with shops scattered throughout the streets and alleys, and our business is booming. I've been learning the ways of business from my father since I was young, and I'm not only interested in it, but I also have a natural talent for it. My father often praises me for my intelligence and says I'll definitely carry on the family business."

At this point, a flicker of nostalgia flashed across Chen Feifan's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by pain. "Feiyun Province was the territory of the Seventh Prince, Qiu Shun. To consolidate his position, he significantly increased local taxes, causing unbearable suffering for the people. Although our Chen family is wealthy and powerful, we couldn't bear such a heavy burden. However, the Seventh Prince, far from being sympathetic to the people, showed the Chen family unusual favor. In reality, he had long coveted the Chen family's assets, simply because they lacked any powerful backing. The Seventh Prince orchestrated a murder, forcibly blaming it on my parents, leading to their imprisonment. The conditions there were horrible, and they suffered utter torture. They were executed shortly thereafter."

Chen Feifan's voice deepened, tears welling in his eyes. "The Chen family's vast fortune easily fell into the hands of the Seventh Prince, and I, in that chaotic moment, was fortunate enough to escape through a narrow hole. I was still young at the time, and the Seventh Prince didn't consider me a threat. Determined for revenge, I journeyed north, enduring untold hardships, sleeping in the open air, and encountering countless difficulties and dangers. Eventually, I arrived in the capital. I had no clear plan at first, simply trying every possible means to reach my goal, until I fortunately met you, Miss."

In fact, Su Nan already knew all the details, but she still hoped to hear Chen Feifan's own account. Sure enough, his account was completely consistent with the results of the previous investigation.

"I don't mean to blame you. If it were me, I would have chosen to remain silent. From today on, you can call me Chen Feifan again. You can call me sister. I am willing to treat you as my own brother. At the same time, I will also bear your blood feud." Su Nan's words were resounding and full of firm strength. Her eyes flashed with tenderness and determination, as if they could light the way forward for Chen Feifan.

Chen Feifan had never expected to receive such a warm and resolute response. He raised his head, his eyes filled with gratitude and surprise. "Miss... no, sister! From now on, Feifan's life is yours. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, no matter what."

"The Seventh Prince's good days may be numbered. When the time comes, I will find a way to let you fulfill your wish of revenge with your own hands." There was a hint of chill in Su Nan's voice. She was determined to seek justice for Chen Feifan.

Chen Feifan's eyes were moist and red, and he couldn't help but let the tears fall. He silently made a solemn vow in his heart: "I will live up to my sister's expectations and make the Seventh Prince pay for his evil deeds."

Su Nan continued, "Fei Fan, I'm usually busy with many things and can't personally handle the Chamber of Commerce's many affairs. In the coming days, I will carefully teach you how to manage the Chamber of Commerce. When the time is right, you will issue orders on my behalf, and all business will be handled by you. I believe in your abilities and you will be able to do it."

Chen Feifan nodded heavily, his eyes full of determination and expectation.
