Reborn and married in a swapped marriage, my aloof husband is too ruthless.

Su Jinxin slowly unfurled the scroll in her hand, revealing a meticulously drawn plan of the new dock.

Wu Tianba glanced at him sideways and snorted disdainfully: "You think you can establish yourself in the new town with just these few paintings? You're dreaming!"

Su Jinxin remained unmoved. She cleared her throat and spoke in a clear and strong voice: "President Wu, my plan is not just empty talk. You should also know that the current port facilities are outdated and have limited throughput, which can no longer meet the growing trade demand. My new port plan not only expands the scale of the port, but also introduces the latest lifting equipment and management model, which can greatly improve efficiency and reduce costs."

Wu Tianba narrowed his eyes, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He had to admit that Su Jinxin's plan was indeed very attractive, but he was naturally unwilling to let her get a share of the profits so easily.

“Miss Su, your plan is good, but the dock business in the new town is not so easy. Without my permission, you can’t do anything.”

Su Jinxin had anticipated that Wu Tianba would make things difficult for her. She smiled calmly and said, "President Wu, I understand what you mean. You are the boss here, and as a newcomer, I naturally have to abide by the rules." She paused, then added firmly, "As long as you can give me a fair chance to compete, I am willing to pay the corresponding price."

"The price?" Wu Tianba raised an eyebrow, a glint of greed in his eyes. "What price are you prepared to pay?"

Su Jinxin smiled slightly and offered an enticing condition: "I can share a portion of the profits from the new dock with the Chamber of Commerce, and I guarantee that there will be no malicious competition, and we will work together to develop trade in the new town."

Wu Tianba pondered for a moment, secretly making plans in his mind.

Su Jinxin's suggestion was indeed profitable for him, but he was still somewhat unwilling.

“Besides profit sharing, I also need you…” He paused deliberately, his tone becoming forceful, “to hand over half of your inventory to me as your agent.”

This condition was clearly very harsh, almost to the point of putting Su Jinxin under his control.

Yan Cheng'an frowned slightly and subconsciously clenched his fist.

Su Jinxin remained calm. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "President Wu, I'm afraid I can't agree to this condition..." Her voice trailed off as her gaze fell on a group of men in black who were pouring in through the door.

They came with ill intentions and surrounded Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan.

A sinister smile appeared on Wu Tianba's face: "Miss Su, do you still have a choice now?"

Su Jinxin's heart sank suddenly, and a sense of isolation and helplessness overwhelmed her.

Wu Tianba's face loomed large before her eyes, greedy and ugly.

She glanced discreetly at the men in black around her, each one looking menacing and blocking all escape routes.

Yan Cheng'an held her hand tightly, silently conveying his strength.

“President Wu,” Su Jinxin forced herself to calm down, a cold smile playing on her lips, “are you planning to seize this by force?”

Wu Tianba laughed loudly, his laughter filled with contempt: "In this place, I am the rule! If you know what's good for you, then behave yourself, otherwise..." He glanced at Yan Cheng'an with a sinister look, "...you'll have to bear the consequences."

Just as tensions were about to rise, Su Jinxin suddenly pulled a thick stack of papers from her sleeve and slammed them onto the table.

"President Wu, I think you should take a good look at this!"

The papers were scattered, covered with dense records of various data and transaction details.

Wu Tianba's expression changed drastically. He grabbed a few sheets of paper, his eyes quickly scanning them. The smugness on his face gradually froze, replaced by fear and panic.

"What is this?!" His voice trembled, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.

“President Wu, you seem to have a bad memory,” Su Jinxin said coldly. “These are all your ‘masterpieces’ at the docks over the years. Cutting corners, using inferior materials, embezzling payments… every single one of these is irrefutable.”

The members of the chamber of commerce were in an uproar, whispering and discussing among themselves.

They had originally obeyed Wu Tianba's every command, but now, seeing this evidence, their hearts began to waver.

Wu Tianba's face changed from white to green, then from green to purple, as spectacular as a chameleon.

He glared fiercely at Su Jinxin, gritting his teeth as he said, "You...you actually dared to..."

Su Jinxin met his gaze without fear, her voice clear and strong: "What do I have to be afraid of? Do you think you can cover up everything? I have already sent this evidence to the authorities, and I believe someone will be coming to invite Chairman Wu for 'tea' soon."

Wu Tianba was completely panicked. He didn't expect Su Jinxin to have been prepared all along, and even had such a trick up her sleeve.

He looked around and found that the people in the chamber of commerce were looking at him with suspicion and dissatisfaction.

He originally thought victory was assured, but he never expected that one wrong move would lead to total defeat.

“Furthermore,” Su Jinxin paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, “I know many of you have long been dissatisfied with Chairman Wu’s actions. Now, I’m giving you a choice: continue to wallow in his ways, or choose a fresh start?” She calmly pulled another document from her bosom. “This is my new dock plan, and your cooperation proposals. As long as you’re willing to join me, I guarantee…”

Before she could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the door. Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed in, led by…

Among the crowd pouring in from outside the gate, leading the way were several respected elder merchants from the new town.

They had long harbored resentment towards Wu Tianba's domineering behavior, but dared not speak out.

Su Jinxin's previous good deeds and acts of kindness in the new town had won them their favor and respect. She had secretly contacted them to seek their support, and now was the time for them to publicly express their support.

The appearance of the elders was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The already wavering hearts of the members of the Chamber of Commerce now completely sided with Su Jinxin.

“Chairman Wu, we have all seen what you have done,” an elderly man with gray hair said in a deep voice. “You have made our business environment in Xincheng Town a mess. Today, we will act on behalf of Heaven and eliminate this cancer!”

Wu Tianba's face turned pale. He knew that the situation was hopeless and there was no way to reverse it.

Like a trapped beast, he struggled desperately in place, weakly trying to explain himself, but his voice was drowned out by the crowd's condemnation.

Just then, a tall and imposing figure appeared at the doorway, like a god descending from heaven, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The visitor was none other than Yan Cheng'an.

He was dressed in a long, dark robe, with a cold and stern face and sharp eyes. He exuded a powerful aura, like a majestic mountain, giving people an unparalleled sense of security.

He walked straight to Su Jinxin's side, took her hand, and looked at her tenderly, as if silently telling her: Don't be afraid, I'm here.

Su Jinxin felt the warmth of his palm, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She squeezed his hand back, and their eyes met, filled with love and understanding.

Under Yan Cheng'an's intimidation, the originally noisy scene instantly quieted down.

He looked around and said in an icy tone, "Wu Tianba's crimes are too numerous to count. I have already sent men to escort him to the government office to await his judgment."

His words were firm and unquestionable. Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one dared to raise any objections.

After Wu Tianba was taken away, Yan Chengan turned to Su Jinxin, and the coldness in his eyes melted instantly, replaced by infinite tenderness.

"You've worked so hard," he said softly, his voice full of concern.

Su Jinxin smiled slightly and shook her head: "It's not hard work. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Yan Cheng'an's gaze softened, and he gently pulled her into his arms, whispering in her ear, "From now on, I will always be with you and protect you."

Su Jinxin nestled in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with happiness and a sense of security.

"Next..." Yan Chengan released her and glanced at the members of the Chamber of Commerce present. "Everyone, I believe you have all seen Jinxin's new dock plan. This is a win-win opportunity, and I hope you can seize it."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the chamber of commerce expressed their willingness to join Su Jinxin's plan.

Their previous fear and resentment towards Wu Tianba have now transformed into trust and expectation towards Su Jinxin.

Looking at the scene before her, Su Jinxin was filled with joy and excitement. She knew that her business empire was about to begin a new chapter in the new town.

She turned to Yan Chengan and smiled sweetly: "It seems we're going to be busy again."

Yan Cheng'an smiled, his eyes sparkling with wisdom: "Yes, but this time, we'll do it together." He reached out and took Su Jinxin's hand, their fingers intertwined.

Su Jinxin felt the warmth of his palm, and a surge of warmth welled up in her heart. She looked up into his deep eyes and whispered, "Yan Chengan..."

"Yan Chengan..." Su Jinxin called softly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.

Yan Chengan gently squeezed her hand back, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

In the following days, Su Jinxin swiftly signed cooperation agreements with the members of the Chamber of Commerce in the new town, and her proposed new wharf plan received unanimous support from all members.

Wu Tianba's downfall has brought about a complete transformation in the business environment of the new town. The businessmen who were once exploited by Wu Tianba are now filled with gratitude and respect for Su Jinxin.

Su Jinxin's business empire quickly took root in the new town and flourished like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Looking at the thriving scene of the new town, Su Jinxin felt a great sense of accomplishment.

She knew this was just the first step in her grand plan.

Her gaze drifted further afield, and she had already set a new goal in mind.

“Next, we need to…” Su Jinxin pointed to a spot on the map, her tone firm.

Yan Chengan followed her finger and looked at it, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

The success of the new town was just the beginning; Su Jinxin's goal was to expand her business empire throughout the entire Liang Kingdom.

With her memories from her past life and her exceptional business acumen, she gradually achieves her goals.

She is not only good at seizing business opportunities, but also knows how to win people's hearts.

She was generous and charitable, which won her the love and support of the people.

However, just as Su Jinxin was preparing to further expand her business empire in the new town, she discovered that some new business rules had suddenly been introduced locally.

These rules are extremely unfavorable to her, and seem to have been deliberately set up against her.

Su Jinxin frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"It seems someone doesn't want us to have an easy time..." she muttered to herself.

Yan Chengan walked to her side and gently put his arm around her shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm here." His tone was firm and strong, bringing Su Jinxin boundless comfort and strength.

Su Jinxin looked at Yan Chengan, her heart filled with gratitude and love.

She knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, she would fight alongside him and face them together.

“Yan Chengan, look…” she said, pointing to the newly issued rules, her tone serious.
