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

The battle for control of the new town has entered a fierce stage.

Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu joined forces, adopting a posture of wanting to completely destroy Su Jinxin.

"A woman from out of town dares to covet the resources of our new town!" Chairman Wu shouted at the banquet, spitting as he spoke. "Her goods are probably obtained through some shady means!"

The rumors spread like wildfire, as if they had grown wings.

Some businesses that had previously partnered with Su Jinxin began to waver, coming to her door to inquire, their words revealing doubt and unease.

Su Jinxin responded calmly, explaining each point and providing solid evidence to prove the legality of her source of goods.

“The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty,” Su Jinxin said firmly. “I, Su Jinxin, have a clear conscience and am not afraid of any rumors or gossip.”

The competition for the trading rights was fraught with obstacles. Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu made things difficult at every turn, claiming that the procedures were incomplete or that the qualifications were insufficient.

Su Jinxin was well-prepared; she had prepared all the documents meticulously and refuted their unreasonable accusations one by one.

"Mayor Chen, Chairman Wu, aren't you afraid of damaging the business environment of the new town by obstructing us in every way?" Su Jinxin's eyes were sharp as knives, piercing straight at the two of them.

Seeing that neither soft nor hard tactics could sway Su Jinxin, Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu became furious.

They secretly instructed their subordinates to create "accidents" during Su Jinxin's freight shipments, attempting to completely cut off her supply of goods.

However, Su Jinxin had already anticipated that they would resort to underhanded tactics, and had arranged for people to protect her in secret.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Su Jinxin sneered, turning the tables and wiping out Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu's men in one fell swoop.

In the end, the battle for the trading rights came to a close, with Su Jinxin emerging victorious by a significant margin.

She not only obtained the right to trade resources in the new town, but also completely refuted the rumors spread by Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu, winning the respect of all the merchants.

At the celebration banquet, Yan Cheng'an raised his glass to congratulate Su Jinxin: "Jinxin, congratulations." Su Jinxin returned the toast, but her eyes were fixed on the dimly lit new town outside the window. Her tone was calm: "This is just the beginning..." Her gaze fell on an inconspicuous corner in the distance, where a dark shadow flashed by.

Su Jinxin narrowed her eyes slightly: "It seems someone is getting restless..."

Seeing how difficult Su Jinxin was to deal with, Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu intensified their pressure.

They used their power to instigate thugs to harass Su Jinxin's shop and even spread rumors that her goods were of poor quality in order to intimidate the merchants who cooperated with her.

Suddenly, Su Jinxin's situation became precarious. Some of the businesses that had signed contracts with her began to waver, coming to her door to demand the termination of their cooperation, and some even demanded compensation for their losses.

Despite this sudden predicament, Su Jinxin remained completely calm.

She had anticipated that Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu would not let the matter rest, so she made preparations in advance.

She first reassured the wavering merchants, promising to protect their interests, and then secretly collected evidence of Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu's illegal and disorderly conduct.

When the time was right, Su Jinxin held a grand chamber of commerce gathering in the new town.

Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu were also invited to attend. They thought Su Jinxin was going to give in to them, and they both had smug smiles on their faces.

However, they never expected that this was a trap.

At the banquet, Su Jinxin publicly exposed the various misdeeds of Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu in their business activities over the years, from tax evasion to market manipulation and malicious competition. She listed them all clearly and presented conclusive evidence.

Those merchants who had previously harbored doubts about Su Jinxin were shocked upon seeing the evidence and condemned Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu's despicable actions.

Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu panicked immediately. They tried to argue their case, but found themselves unable to defend themselves.

All the shady dealings they had done in the past have now been exposed by Su Jinxin, ruining their reputations and causing them to lose a lot of support.

Su Jinxin looked at the pale-faced Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu, a cold smile playing on her lips: "This is just the beginning, the real show is yet to come." She turned and walked towards Yan Cheng'an, taking his arm, and said softly, "Let's go." Yan Cheng'an gave her a tender look, and the two left the banquet hall hand in hand, leaving Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu trembling in the chaos.

As night fell, a dark figure silently slipped into Su Jinxin's residence... "You've come," Su Jinxin's voice rang out in the darkness.

The dark figure knelt on one knee: "Everything is ready." Su Jinxin nodded in satisfaction. The downfall of Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu was only a matter of time, and the business landscape of the new town was about to be reshuffled.

The following day, the government of Xincheng Town issued a notice dismissing Mayor Chen and Chairman Wu from all their posts and launching an investigation into them.

Having lost their backers, the businessmen, like reeds in the wind, switched sides and flocked to Su Jinxin to curry favor and seek cooperation.

Taking advantage of the situation, Su Jinxin successfully obtained the trading rights to the Yun Iron Mine, the most important resource in the new town.

Yunnan iron ore is an important raw material for manufacturing weapons; controlling it is equivalent to controlling enormous wealth.

Su Jinxin's business hub in the new town, Jinxiufang, is now bustling with customers.

She used the refined iron extracted from the Yun iron ore to forge exquisite weapons and tools, which she sold to various places, making a fortune.

Her business empire expanded further, reaching into a wider geographical area.

In the new town, she has become a significant business tycoon, and no one dares to underestimate her anymore.

At the celebration banquet, Su Jinxin was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked radiant.

Yan Cheng'an looked at her, his eyes filled with pride and love.

He raised his glass and said tenderly, "Jinxin, I am so proud of you! Your wisdom and courage deeply impress me." He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Su Jinxin, his voice even more gentle: "I love you, Jinxin, forever." Yan Cheng'an's public declaration of love warmed Su Jinxin's heart.

She looked back at him with deep affection, their fingers intertwined, everything understood without words.

After the banquet, Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan strolled under the moonlight.

She nestled gently in his arms, feeling his warmth and love.

Just as the two were immersed in a sweet atmosphere, a servant rushed in, looking flustered: "Madam, something bad has happened! There are some rumors circulating in the city that are unfavorable to you..." Su Jinxin frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "Oh? What are they saying?"

"Madam, rumors are circulating in the city that you have monopolized the Yun Iron Mine and are using unfair means to squeeze out other businesses. They say you..." The servant stammered, not daring to continue.

Su Jinxin sneered, her eyes icy. "What are they saying about me? That I'm ruthless and unscrupulous?" Yan Cheng'an put his arm around her shoulder and said gently, "Don't pay attention to these rumors." Su Jinxin patted his hand lightly, a shrewd glint in her eyes. "Where there's smoke, there's fire. It seems someone can't stand to see me doing well." She turned and ordered her servants, "Investigate. I need to know where this rumor came from."

A gentle night breeze stirred Su Jinxin's clothes. She looked up at the bright moon, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

Yan Cheng'an looked at her, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

He knew that his wife was by no means weak, and that this sudden rumor was probably just the calm before the storm.

Back in her room, Su Jinxin changed out of her fancy clothes and into a simple outfit.

She walked to her desk, spread out a map, and marked the various shops and power distribution in the new town.

The slender fingers traced lightly across the map, eventually stopping at an inconspicuous small town.

She murmured to herself, "It seems it's time to meet up with an old friend..." Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door, and a dark figure flashed into the room, kneeling on one knee: "Madam, I have important intelligence to report."
