Reborn and married in a swapped marriage, my aloof husband is too ruthless.
Chapter 29 Where Glory Returns
"Boss Zhao... he's joined forces with the Chamber of Commerce president to completely cut off our escape route at today's grand event!" Manager Sun's voice trembled violently, his face was deathly pale, and beads of sweat streamed down his forehead.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinxin simply smiled faintly, calmly taking a sip of tea. "What's the panic? Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up." Her eyes were clear and unwavering, as if she had expected this all along.
Yan Cheng'an sat to the side, his slender fingers gently tapping the table, his calm demeanor offering her silent support.
Manager Sun stamped his feet anxiously, "Madam, this is no small matter! They colluded to secretly lower the price of our goods and spread rumors to ruin our reputation. They're just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves at the grand event today!"
Su Jinxin put down her teacup, slowly stood up, straightened her sleeves, and said calmly, "Since they have extended such a 'warm' invitation, how can we refuse?"
The annual business event is a lively and bustling affair, attracting merchants from all walks of life.
Mr. Zhao and the president of the chamber of commerce sat in high positions, chatting and laughing, occasionally exchanging smug glances, as if victory was in their grasp.
Su Jinxin's appearance caused quite a stir. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, yet her beauty was undeniable, and her every move exuded confidence and composure.
"Madam Su, I've long admired your name!" The Chamber of Commerce president cupped his hands in a forced smile, his tone laced with sarcasm.
"President, you flatter me." Su Jinxin smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Mr. Zhao said sarcastically, "Mrs. Su is really riding high lately. I heard her business is booming. Congratulations!"
"Thanks to Boss Zhao, things are still alright." Su Jinxin's tone was flat, revealing no emotion.
With the grand event about to begin, Boss Zhao and the Chamber of Commerce president exchanged a glance, preparing to launch their final attack.
Just then, Su Jinxin slowly spoke: "Everyone, I have a small gift to share with you today." She gestured to the servants behind her to present a brocade box.
Mr. Zhao and the Chamber of Commerce president sneered inwardly, thinking she was going to offer some inferior goods to gain sympathy, and were about to start mocking her...
Su Jinxin opened the brocade box, but instead of the goods they had imagined, she found a thick stack of papers.
"What is this?" the chamber of commerce president asked in confusion.
Su Jinxin's lips curled up slightly. "A business plan."
The crowd was in an uproar.
"A cheap trick!" Boss Zhao scoffed disdainfully.
Su Jinxin's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Yan Chengan, a barely perceptible glint flashing in her eyes.
She spoke slowly, her voice clear and strong: "This plan is called..."
"What is this?" the Chamber of Commerce president asked in confusion, his tone carrying a hint of disdain, as if he had already anticipated what insignificant thing was inside the box.
Su Jinxin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. "A business plan."
A murmur rippled through the crowd. A business plan? What was she doing bringing out a business plan in this setting? Did she intend to…?
"A cheap trick!" Boss Zhao scoffed disdainfully, his eyes filled with undisguised sarcasm.
He was convinced that Su Jinxin was at her wit's end and trying to get away with this petty trick.
Su Jinxin's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Yan Chengan, a barely perceptible glint flashing in her eyes.
Yan Chengan sat in the audience, looking at his radiant wife on stage, his eyes filled with love and respect.
He was incredibly proud to have such an excellent wife. Su Jinxin felt Yan Cheng'an's gaze and her heart was filled with strength. She slowly spoke, her voice clear and powerful: "This plan is called 'A Bright Future'."
She explained the contents of the plan in detail, which included the business layout and innovative ideas for the next few years. From the research and development of new products to the expansion of sales channels, every aspect had been carefully calculated and thoroughly considered.
She talked about future market trends, how to use new technologies to improve production efficiency, and how to cooperate with other businesses for mutual benefit... Her voice flowed like a clear spring, reaching everyone's ears clearly and leaving everyone present in awe.
Those who had originally planned to suppress her now felt ashamed. They had thought Su Jinxin was just a lucky small businesswoman, but they never expected her to have such a long-term vision and such a brilliant plan.
The chamber of commerce president's initial contemptuous expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of shock and admiration.
Even the usually arrogant and domineering Boss Zhao was speechless at this moment. The sarcastic words he had prepared could not be uttered.
After Su Jinxin finished her speech, the entire audience fell silent. Everyone was immersed in her vision of a "prosperous future," as if they could already see the thriving business of the future.
She gracefully closed the proposal, her gaze sweeping firmly over everyone before finally settling on Boss Zhao.
Boss Zhao's face was ashen, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He knew that he had lost, completely.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, his heart filled with resentment and anger.
Just then, he suddenly thought of a chance to turn things around... He stood up abruptly, pointed at Su Jinxin, and shouted, "This plan is fake! She plagiarized it!"
Mr. Zhao's vehement accusations were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
The crowd began to whisper among themselves, casting suspicious glances at Su Jinxin.
Seeing this, Boss Zhao smiled smugly. He pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said loudly, "This is the evidence I got from Craftsman Lin, proving that Su Jinxin's plan was plagiarized from him!"
Craftsman Lin?
Everyone looked at the silent man in the corner with suspicion.
Lin, the craftsman, stepped forward timidly, his eyes darting around, not daring to look directly at Su Jinxin.
He stammered, "This...this plan, I did come up with it first..."
Su Jinxin maintained her elegant demeanor, looking at Boss Zhao with a half-smile, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes.
“Mr. Zhao, are you sure this is your trump card?” She slowly took out a thick booklet from her sleeve. “This is my record of the conceptual process of the ‘Bright Future’ plan, from the initial inspiration to the step-by-step improvement. Every detail is recorded in detail, and the dates are clearly visible.” She handed the booklet to the president of the Chamber of Commerce. “President, you can take a look. The date on this is a full six months earlier than what Craftsman Lin called ‘original’.”
The chamber of commerce president took the booklet, carefully flipped through it, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
He raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Craftsman Lin. "Craftsman Lin, do you have anything else to say?"
The craftsman, Lin, trembled with fear and knelt on the ground with a thud. "President, spare me! It was Boss Zhao! Boss Zhao gave me a sum of money to frame Madam Su!"
The truth came out and everyone was shocked.
Boss Zhao's face turned from red to white, then from white to green. He never expected that his carefully planned conspiracy would be exposed so easily.
He pointed at the craftsman Lin, his voice trembling, and said, "You...you actually dared to betray me!"
The chamber of commerce president slammed the booklet on the table, glaring at Mr. Zhao. "Mr. Zhao, how can you be so despicable and shameless? How can you still have the face to stand in the business world!"
Mr. Zhao was scorned by everyone and slunk away from the venue.
The president of the chamber of commerce also suffered reputational damage and lost face because of this incident.
Su Jinxin stood on the stage, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She won, and won decisively.
When Su Jinxin returned home, Yan Cheng'an had already prepared food and drinks to celebrate with her. He raised his glass, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Jinxin, you're amazing."
Su Jinxin smiled gently and clinked glasses with him.
She put down her wine glass, walked to the window, and gazed at the twinkling stars in the night sky, a complex light flashing in her eyes.
"This is just the beginning..." she whispered, her voice carried away by the night wind.
Yan Cheng'an walked to her side and gently took her hand. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side." Su Jinxin turned to look at him, her eyes filled with gratitude and... a hint of indescribable emotion.
She gripped his hand tightly, as if trying to grasp something.
“Yan Chengan,” she suddenly spoke, her tone somewhat grave, “I…”
“Yan Chengan,” Su Jinxin paused, her gaze deep, “I need to go back to the Su family.” Her tone was firm, carrying an unyielding resolve.
Yan Cheng'an tightened his grip on her hand slightly. He knew what she was thinking, but he also understood that there were some things she had to do herself.
“I’ll stay with you,” he replied simply and firmly.
Su Jinxin shook her head. "No need, I can go by myself." A cold glint flashed in her eyes, like a sharp blade tempered with ice. "There are some scores that need to be settled."
In the days that followed, Su Jinxin frequently visited the Su residence under the guise of visiting her.
With her memories from her past life, she was familiar with the layout and people of the Su family mansion, and secretly observed her stepmother and Su Xiaoxiao's every move.
Everything seemed calm and peaceful, but Su Jinxin keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the mansion was somewhat strange.
Granny Liu, the stepmother's confidante, seemed to have intensified her surveillance of her, her eyes filled with vigilance and inquiry.
Su Jinxin felt as if she were walking on thin ice with every step she took, and that if she was not careful, she would fall into an abyss.
She quietly gathered clues, while the flames of revenge in her heart burned ever brighter.
One day, Su Jinxin "bumped into" Su Xiaoxiao in the garden.
Su Xiaoxiao was dressed up in a flamboyant manner, but her face showed an undisguised look of haggardness and unease.
Upon seeing Su Jinxin, she paused for a moment, then gave a fake smile.
"Sister, it's been a long time." Su Jinxin smiled faintly, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
"Yes, little sister, how have you been?" Su Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered for a moment, then she said, "Sister, you..." She hesitated, as if she had something to say but dared not say it.
Su Jinxin looked at her quietly, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
"What does my sister want to say?" Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"Sister, I..."
