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

"Is Boss Li causing trouble again?" Su Jinxin rubbed her temples, feeling like her head was about to explode.

This business alliance was finally formed with great difficulty, but every few days someone jumps out to disagree, making it more exciting than a palace drama.

The news that Cui'er brought back confirmed her guess: Boss Li, along with several small merchants, felt that the profits allocated to them were too small and threatened to withdraw from the alliance.

"This is just too much! He's eating what's in his bowl while eyeing what's in the pot!" Su Jinxin sneered. "Cui'er, go and get the account book. I want to see exactly how much this Boss Li has contributed and how much he wants to take!"

On the other side, Yan Chengan rushed to the Alliance Council Hall. Before he even entered, he could hear a noisy commotion inside, like a vegetable market.

He pushed open the door and entered, and everyone immediately fell silent, their eyes all fixed on him, as if he were the savior who had come to quell this "world war".

After patiently listening to the demands of all parties, Yan Chengan discovered that the main problem lay in the distribution of benefits.

Just as he was about to speak, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.

"Ouch!" came a soft cry, accompanied by the sound of a teacup shattering.

Miss Lin "accidentally" bumped into Yan Cheng'an and fell into his arms.

What a textbook example of staged accident fraud!

Yan Chengan quickly pushed Miss Lin away and subtly straightened his sleeves.

This scene was witnessed by Su Jinxin, who arrived late.

She felt as if a bottle of mixed flavors had been spilled inside her, a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, but no sweetness at all.

Su Jinxin didn't react, but walked to Yan Cheng'an's side with a half-smile, her tone meaningful: "My husband has worked so hard handling the alliance affairs. It seems that I, as his wife, will have to do my part." She deliberately emphasized the word "wife," and her eyes swept over Miss Lin with a hint of warning.

Miss Lin's expression changed slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and explained, "Mrs. Su, you've misunderstood. I just..."

Su Jinxin didn't give her a chance to explain, interrupting her directly: "Miss Lin, there's no need to say more. I naturally trust my husband." She turned to Yan Cheng'an, her tone gentle yet firm: "Husband, why don't we go back and discuss a new cooperation model?"

Yan Cheng'an immediately understood and nodded, saying, "What you say is absolutely right, Madam." He gave Su Jinxin a deep look, as if to say: I'll explain to you tonight.

Su Jinxin took Yan Chengan's arm, turned around and left, leaving a group of onlookers looking at each other in bewilderment.

As Su Jinxin walked out of the council hall, she stopped, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Yan Cheng'an.

"Husband, take a look at this."

Yan Cheng'an took the paper, on which were written a few words: Shareholding system...

Yan Cheng'an stared at the words "shareholding system" on the paper for a moment, then a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

This is indeed a good approach, as it can unite all merchants while protecting the interests of core members.

Su Jinxin truly lives up to her reputation as his wife; she always manages to come up with these ingenious ideas.

Upon returning to the Su residence, Su Jinxin immediately summoned the core members of the alliance and explained in detail the concept and operating model of the shareholding system.

She explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, making the complex business model crystal clear.

Everyone listened with great interest, as if a door to a new world had been opened for them.

"Brilliant! Mrs. Su's move is simply a stroke of genius!" Boss Zheng slapped his thigh excitedly. "This way, everyone can see the future of the alliance and is more motivated to develop together!"

Wu, the wealthy businessman, was initially somewhat resistant, but after hearing Su Jinxin's explanation, he couldn't help but nod in praise: "Madam Su is indeed a woman who is just as capable as any man. I admire her!"

Even Mr. Li, who had been causing trouble before, was convinced and said, "Madam Su, I was blind to your greatness before. Please forgive my mistake. I will follow your lead from now on!"

Su Jinxin smiled slightly, thinking to herself: This is nothing, the real show is yet to come.

She surveyed the crowd, her voice firm: "Ladies and gentlemen, the future of the business alliance is in our own hands. As long as we unite and work together, we will surely create even greater glory!"

After the meeting, Boss Zheng secretly approached Wu, the wealthy businessman, his eyes darting around: "Boss Wu, do you really think Mrs. Su's shareholding system is reliable? Could we be led by the nose by her?"

Wu, the wealthy businessman, stroked his beard and smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Zheng, you've hit the nail on the head..."

Yan Chengan watched Su Jinxin's busy figure and felt a vague unease in his heart.

He felt that there was something hidden in Su Jinxin's smile today... That evening, he went to Su Jinxin's study and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Yan Chengan pushed open the door and entered, only to see Su Jinxin facing out the window with a cold look in her eyes, as if she were brewing some kind of storm.

"Jinxin..."

Su Jinxin slowly turned around, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "Husband, tell me... what should we do if someone betrays us?"

Yan Chengan entered the study and saw the storm raging in Su Jinxin's eyes, and his heart tightened.

He walked to her side, gently took her hand, and said softly, "Jinxin, what are you thinking about? Tell me, okay?" His deep eyes gazed at her, as if trying to see through the secret in her heart.

Su Jinxin gripped Yan Chengan's hand tightly in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, and the inexplicable irritation in her heart gradually subsided.

She knew that he was not only her husband, but also the person she trusted most in the world.

"Husband, I'm fine." Su Jinxin forced a smile. "I was just thinking about some things related to the alliance, and I'm a little upset." She brushed it off lightly, not wanting him to worry too much.

After all, he only had eyes for her, so how could he understand the deceit and intrigue of the business world?

Yan Cheng'an pulled her into his arms, gently stroking the top of her head with his chin, and said softly, "I know you've had a hard time, but you must remember that no matter what happens, I will always be by your side." His tone was firm, as if he were making an unwavering vow.

Su Jinxin buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She knew that he truly understood her, her ambition, and her anxieties.

"My husband, it's so good to have you here."

This sudden sweet surprise caught Yan Chengan off guard.

He coughed lightly, feigning composure, and said, "Cough cough, of course I'm good, is there any need to say more?" There was a hint of smugness in his tone.

Su Jinxin was amused by him, and the gloom in her heart was swept away.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go see the children."

However, beneath the calm surface, undercurrents are still surging.

On the surface, Wu Dafu agreed to the shareholding plan, but behind the scenes he conspired with Boss Zheng.

"Mr. Zheng, are you really willing to let Su Jinxin ride roughshod over you? Think about it, we used to be influential figures in the business world, but now we have to act according to a woman's whims!"

Boss Zheng was already dissatisfied with the distribution of profits, and Wu Dafu's provocation reignited his greed.

"Mr. Wu, what do you suggest? I'll do whatever you say!"

Wu Dafu smiled sinisterly: "It's simple, we'll just cut off her supply lines from the bottom..." He leaned close to Boss Zheng's ear and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing this, Boss Zheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Brilliant! Boss Wu is indeed shrewd and calculating. I admire you!"

The next day, as soon as Su Jinxin arrived at the alliance headquarters, she saw Boss Zheng leading a group of people in a menacing manner.

"Mrs. Su, we have something to say!"

Su Jinxin raised an eyebrow, sneering inwardly: It seems the show is about to begin.

She said calmly, "Mr. Zheng, please speak frankly about what's on your mind."

Mr. Zheng took a deep breath and said loudly, "We... want to redistribute the shares!"

Boss Zheng's shout was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing a buzzing sound at the alliance headquarters.

The onlookers craned their necks and pricked up their ears, eager not to miss this annual spectacle.

Su Jinxin chuckled lightly. What kind of act is this?

Yesterday they were as close as brothers, but today they've turned their backs on each other?

With that kind of quick change of expression, it's a real shame she's not a professional opera singer.

“Mr. Zheng,” Su Jinxin began slowly, her tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm, “this share distribution plan was decided by everyone together, in black and white, signed and sealed. You want to change your mind after only a few days? Do you think your calligraphy is worthless?”

Mr. Zheng's face turned red and white as he was confronted by Su Jinxin's sarcastic remarks, and he stammered for a long time without being able to give a coherent explanation.

Seeing this, Wu, the wealthy businessman behind him, quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Madam Su, you can't say that. We're all thinking about the future of the alliance! The previous plan wasn't comprehensive enough, so it's only reasonable to make some adjustments now."

"Oh? Does Mr. Wu mean that I haven't considered things thoroughly?" Su Jinxin looked at Wu Dafu with a half-smile, her eyes sharp as knives, as if she could see right through his thoughts.

"In Mr. Wu's opinion, how should these shares be distributed to ensure a fair outcome?"

Mr. Wu cleared his throat, about to speak, but Su Jinxin spoke first: "How about this, Mr. Wu, write down your proposal, and we can discuss it properly?" Her tone was gentle, but carried an undeniable authority.

Wu, the wealthy businessman, was speechless for a moment. He didn't have any specific plan; he was just thinking of stirring up trouble first and then fishing in troubled waters.

He stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.

Just then, Yan Cheng'an, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Wu, since there's no concrete plan, let's not waste everyone's time here. The rules and regulations of the alliance are not child's play and cannot be changed arbitrarily." His tone was cold and devoid of emotion, yet it was full of intimidation.

Wu, the wealthy merchant, was startled by Yan Cheng'an's sudden display of power and quickly said with a forced smile, "Yes, yes, Young Master Yan is right. I was not careful enough." After saying that, he slunk away with Boss Zheng and the others.

Su Jinxin watched their departing figures, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

Want to play dirty tricks on her?

Still too green!

She turned to look at Yan Cheng'an and said softly, "Husband, thank you."

Yan Chengan smiled gently: "Silly girl, don't thank me. Protecting you is my responsibility."

Seeing this, Miss Lin was consumed by jealousy. She walked up to Yan Cheng'an and said in a sweet voice, "Young Master Yan, I... have something I'd like to discuss with you alone, is that alright?"

Yan Chengan frowned slightly, about to refuse, but Su Jinxin spoke first: "Miss Lin, just say what you need to say, I have other things to take care of."

Miss Lin bit her lip, her eyes flickered, but she ultimately remained silent.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Su Jinxin sneered inwardly, "Little brat, you're still a long way from being able to compete with me!"

She was about to turn and leave when she suddenly heard a commotion outside the door… “Mrs. Su! Something’s wrong! Something’s happened!”
