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

The commotion grew louder, and a waiter stumbled in, pale-faced and breathless: "Mrs. Su... Mrs. Su! Something terrible has happened! Mr. Zheng... Mr. Zheng... at the alliance meeting... openly opposed the new... new profit-sharing plan!"

Su Jinxin frowned. It seemed that the old fox, Wu Dafu, was still up to his old tricks!

Her gaze turned cold. She gave Yan Cheng'an a reassuring look, then turned to the waiter and said, "What's the panic? Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up! Take me to the conference room!"

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.

Boss Zheng was vehemently protesting the new profit-sharing plan, as if he had suffered a great injustice: "This plan is simply unfair! I have contributed so much to the alliance, why should I get less than others?" Beside him, the wealthy businessman Wu looked "heartbroken" and occasionally added fuel to the fire, inciting the other businessmen.

Su Jinxin calmly walked to the head seat, glanced at everyone, and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Boss Zheng, are you questioning my decision?"

Mr. Zheng, his neck stiff and his voice hardening, said, "Mrs. Su, this plan is indeed unreasonable! We cannot accept it!"

Su Jinxin didn't directly refute him, but smiled faintly: "Mr. Zheng, why don't we talk privately?"

In the private meeting room, Su Jinxin did not start by discussing profit sharing. Instead, she painted a grand picture of a future business empire for Boss Zheng. She spoke eloquently, describing the future development prospects of the alliance in a dazzling manner, leaving Boss Zheng stunned.

Finally, Su Jinxin changed the subject: "Boss Zheng, you're a smart man. You should understand that only when the alliance grows stronger can your personal interests be maximized. What do these petty gains amount to?"

Boss Zheng's expression changed repeatedly, his eyes flickering uncertainly; clearly, Su Jinxin's words had moved him.

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Mrs. Su, is what you said... all true?"

Su Jinxin smiled slightly, full of confidence: "I, Su Jinxin, always keep my word."

Mr. Zheng lowered his head in deep thought, his fingers tapping incessantly on the table, as if making a final struggle.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Su Jinxin: "Mrs. Su, I have another question..."

Mr. Zheng rubbed his hands together, his eyes darting around. "Mrs. Su, the prospects for your alliance are indeed tempting, but... I'm still a little worried. What if... what if you step down in the future and the new leader doesn't acknowledge the agreement?" He cautiously glanced at Su Jinxin's expression, afraid that he might offend her by speaking too directly.

Su Jinxin chuckled lightly. This old fox, as expected, is still worried about his own interests.

She wasn't annoyed at all, and confidently pulled a document from her sleeve: "Mr. Zheng, this is the alliance contract, in black and white, signed and sealed, protected by law. Whoever is in power must abide by it. You can rest assured."

Mr. Zheng took the contract, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.

He picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract without hesitation.

Su Jinxin's lips curled up slightly. It was done! She turned to look at the door and gestured with her eyes.

The next second, the conference room door was pushed open, and several guards escorted Wu Dafu, the wealthy businessman, into the room.

The wealthy businessman Wu was deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror, and he kept crying out, "Su Jinxin! You're framing me! I...I didn't..."

Su Jinxin sneered and took out the evidence she had prepared beforehand, exposing to the public, one by one, the crimes of Wu Dafu, who secretly instigated Boss Zheng to obstruct the development of the alliance and even attempted to embezzle the alliance's assets.

"Mr. Wu, what else do you have to say?" Su Jinxin's tone was icy, her eyes sharp, like a goddess of judgment.

Wu Dafu, his face ashen, slumped to the ground in despair.

Mr. Zheng watched in horror, relieved that he had come to his senses in time and pulled back from the brink.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his awe of Su Jinxin deepening even further.

The new plan was successfully implemented, the business alliance developed steadily, and Su Jinxin's reputation and status reached unprecedented heights.

However, the big tree attracts the wind.

Just as Su Jinxin's career was flourishing, Miss Lin jumped out again. This time she was even more outrageous, crying in public that Yan Cheng'an had promised to marry her, and even produced a jade pendant as "evidence".

Su Jinxin looked at the jade pendant, her heart tightening. It was indeed Yan Cheng'an's possession, but…

“Cheng’an, this…” Su Jinxin looked at Yan Cheng’an, her voice trembling.

Yan Cheng'an remained calm, his eyes deep, about to speak, but Miss Lin spoke first, tears streaming down her face: "Cheng'an, why...why did you abandon me? You...you once said..."

Yan Chengan abruptly interrupted her, his tone icy: "Miss Lin, please have some self-respect!"

Miss Lin, however, acted even more desperately, crying and shouting, "Cheng'an, you...you can't do this to me! You...you promised to marry me!"

Su Jinxin felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and tears blurred her vision.

Yan Cheng'an grabbed Su Jinxin's hand and held it tightly, his eyes resolute: "Jinxin, do you believe me?"

Su Jinxin bit her lip, fighting back tears, and nodded.

"Alright." Yan Cheng'an took a deep breath, turned to look at everyone, his eyes sharp. "Tomorrow, at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, I will give everyone an explanation."

The following day, at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, the place was packed with people, but the atmosphere was unusually somber.

Everyone wanted to know how Yan Chengan would respond to Ms. Lin's "accusations".

Yan Cheng'an stood on the stage with an imposing air, dressed in a dark brocade robe, his eyes as deep as the sea, as if he could see through everything.

He didn't rush to explain, but slowly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, which was exactly the same as Miss Lin's, and even more exquisite.

"Miss Lin, you're saying this jade pendant is a token of love?" Yan Cheng'an's tone was indifferent, tinged with sarcasm. "Then what about this one I have?"

Miss Lin's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she stammered, unable to speak.

Yan Cheng'an sneered and continued, "This jade pendant is an heirloom of my Yan family. There are two in total. One is in my possession, and the other... is in the possession of my younger brother. Miss Lin, I don't need to elaborate on how you obtained this jade pendant, do I?"

The crowd was in an uproar; it turned out that Miss Lin's "evidence" was stolen!

Miss Lin's face turned ashen, and she trembled all over. She never expected that Yan Cheng'an would have such a trick up his sleeve.

Yan Cheng'an ignored her and looked at Su Jinxin with deep affection, his eyes as gentle as water: "Jinxin, my heart is as clear as the sun and moon, my love for you will last until death."

Su Jinxin's eyes reddened slightly, deeply moved.

Miss Lin was scorned by everyone and fled the Chamber of Commerce in disgrace.

After the Chamber of Commerce meeting, Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan strolled in the garden.

The moonlight, like water, fell upon the two of them, as if a thin veil had been draped over them.

Yan Chengan gently put his arm around Su Jinxin's waist and whispered in her ear, "Jinxin, thank you for always believing in me."

Su Jinxin leaned on his shoulder, feeling his warmth, and smiled slightly: "Silly boy, do we need to say thank you to each other?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

As night deepened, Su Jinxin lay in Yan Cheng'an's arms, listening to his even breathing, feeling utterly at peace.

“Cheng’an…” Su Jinxin suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Yan Chengan responded groggily.

"You tell me... shouldn't we......" Su Jinxin hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Yan Cheng'an opened his eyes and looked at her in confusion: "What should I do?"

Su Jinxin wanted to say, "It's time to have a child," but she swallowed the words back.

After all, the business alliance had only just stabilized. Although Wu the wealthy businessman and Zheng the boss outwardly submitted, who knows what kind of evil schemes they were secretly plotting.

Building a career is the real priority!

Children and such can wait.

"We should... take down Mr. Wu and Boss Zheng completely!" Su Jinxin sat up abruptly, her eyes gleaming. "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring! Understand?"

Yan Cheng'an was stunned by her sudden aura and subconsciously nodded: "I understand..." My wife is right!

So, Su Jinxin started to "stir things up".

She first spread the word that she wanted to expand her business alliance and recruit new partners, and that those interested could come and discuss the matter.

This news immediately caused a huge uproar, with many small and medium-sized businesses rushing to sign up, including some of Mr. Wu's and Mr. Zheng's "old friends".

Upon hearing this news, Wu, the wealthy businessman, and Zheng, the boss, panicked.

They've finally managed to establish themselves in the league; if another batch of competitors comes along, wouldn't their position be in jeopardy?

So the two rushed to the Yan residence that very night, tearfully accusing Su Jinxin of lacking martial ethics and disrupting market order.

Su Jinxin sneered: "Market economy, survival of the fittest, that's reasonable, isn't it? Are you two bosses scared?" She deliberately used modern terms, secretly pleased to see the two looking so bewildered.

Wu, the wealthy merchant, and Zheng, the boss, were so angry they were practically fuming, but they dared not refute him and could only swallow their anger.

Seeing the two of them looking humiliated, Su Jinxin chuckled inwardly. This was just the first step; the real show was yet to come!

She turned to look at Yan Cheng'an, a sly glint in her eyes: "Honey, how about we visit Strategist Zhao tomorrow?"

Yan Cheng'an sensed the deeper meaning in her words and immediately understood: "What you say is very true, my lady."

The following morning, Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan arrived at Zhao Moushi's residence with generous gifts.

Zhao, the strategist, was secretly pleased as he looked at the gifts the two had brought, but his face remained impassive: "Madam Yan, Young Master Yan, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Su Jinxin smiled slightly and got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao, I want to discuss a... big deal with you."
