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

Su Jinxin's claim of "the key to the door to wealth" is not an exaggeration.

The bottle opener was just a starting point; what she really wanted to promote was a complete set of modern business alliance management models.

Joint-stock companies, profit-sharing systems, employee benefits... these novelties left the seasoned businessmen bewildered, their minds buzzing like five hundred bees.

"This...this...this is outrageous!" A businessman with a mustache exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. "I've been in business for decades, and I've never heard of anything like this!"

"Exactly! If we share the profits with our subordinates, what will we earn?"

Another businessman chimed in, as if Su Jinxin were trying to steal their money.

Su Jinxin wasn't annoyed. She explained with a smile, "Gentlemen, we need to think long-term. If we give our employees good treatment, they will work harder, our business will grow bigger and bigger, and we will eventually earn more money than we do now!"

She paused, then dropped a bombshell, "Moreover, joining the alliance offers additional benefits besides profit sharing! For example, a mutual aid fund..."

"Mutual aid fund?" Everyone looked at each other, wondering what this new thing was.

“That’s right!” Su Jinxin explained confidently, “If any member encounters natural disasters or man-made calamities and their business is in trouble, the alliance can provide financial assistance to help them overcome the difficulties.”

These words caused some businessmen who had initially opposed the idea to begin to waver.

After all, no one can guarantee that everything will always go smoothly for them, so having some kind of guarantee is always a good thing.

However, some diehards still refuse to budge.

They believed that Su Jinxin's measures were too costly and would greatly reduce their profits.

A heated debate erupted in the conference room.

"Boss Su, you... aren't you using the alliance's name to do Robin Hood-like things?" a weasel-faced businessman said sarcastically.

Su Jinxin didn't hold back and retorted directly: "Boss, I'm thinking about the long-term development of the alliance! How can you achieve great things if you're short-sighted?"

The atmosphere in the meeting room became extremely tense, with tensions rising rapidly.

Just then, Yan Cheng'an coughed lightly and slowly said, "Everyone, what Madam said is absolutely right. Only by broadening our horizons can we see a wider world."

He paused, then emphasized, "Don't let small things cause you to lose big ones."

Yan Cheng'an holds a pivotal position in the business world, and his words undoubtedly reassured everyone.

Some hesitant businessmen also expressed their support for Su Jinxin.

Seeing that the situation was settled, the weasel-faced merchant was still unwilling to give up and wanted to argue a few more points.

Su Jinxin was too lazy to waste any more words with him and interrupted him directly: "Since everyone agrees, then it's settled."

She turned to Yan Cheng'an and smiled sweetly, "Husband, let's go back, I'm tired."

Yan Chengan gently helped Su Jinxin up, and the two left together, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Upon returning to the Yan residence, Su Jinxin did not rest but immediately instructed the servants to prepare a carriage.

"Madam, it's so late, are you still going out?" the maid asked, puzzled.

"To the palace." Su Jinxin's tone was calm, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes. "Some things need to be settled..."

Su Jinxin was no pushover in her past life; decades of professional experience had honed her silver tongue and her ability to speak eloquently to anyone, regardless of their background.

She knew that dealing with these old foxes wasn't about making empty promises; she had to show them real benefits.

So she took out the data she had prepared in advance and demonstrated the explosive growth in the company's performance under the modern management model.

"Gentlemen, the data doesn't lie."

Pointing to the chart, Su Jinxin said in a firm and powerful tone, "As long as everyone works together and develops together, the future benefits will definitely exceed your imagination!"

Those seasoned veterans stared wide-eyed at the straight upward curve on the chart.

As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food. Tempted by huge profits, they all switched sides and expressed their willingness to join Su Jinxin's business alliance.

At the large-scale business conference, Su Jinxin, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, exuded an aura of power.

She announced that under her leadership, the business alliance's profits had doubled year after year, and that it had successfully expanded its overseas trade, growing its business empire to an unprecedented scale.

Those who once mocked and boycotted her are now filled with remorse and wish they could kneel down and beg her to take them in.

"Mr. Su, we were blind to your greatness before. Please give us another chance!"

"Boss Su, please help us! We're willing to follow your lead!"

Su Jinxin smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

She looked around at everyone and slowly began to speak: "Today, I have something even more important to announce..."

Yan Chengan sat in the audience, gazing affectionately at his radiant wife on stage, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

He knew that Su Jinxin was about to experience the highlight of her life.

“I…” Su Jinxin paused, her eyes suddenly turning serious, “I want to stand with everyone and get through this together!”

The group exchanged bewildered glances. What difficulty was it?

Su Jinxin didn't explain, but just gave Yan Chengan a meaningful look, then turned to the butler and ordered, "Go and bring the things up."

The butler carried a tray covered with red silk and slowly walked to Su Jinxin's side.

Su Jinxin took a deep breath and lifted the red silk.

On the tray, a dazzling diamond ring was prominently displayed—of course, in this era, it is called a "diamond".

Before anyone could even gasp in surprise, Yan Cheng'an rose from his seat, strode confidently onto the stage, knelt on one knee, and gazed at Su Jinxin with deep affection: "Xin'er, marry me. I know I've made you suffer a lot, but from now on, I will dedicate my life to protecting you, loving you, cherishing you, and making you the happiest woman in the world."

This unexpected marriage proposal stunned everyone present.

Who is Yan Cheng'an?

That was the legendary "living dead" who was terminally ill!

Now, he's not only alive and kicking, but he's also proposing to her in public, which is even more outrageous than a fairy tale!

Su Jinxin's eyes reddened slightly. She reached out her slender hand and gently placed it in Yan Cheng'an's palm: "I do."

Yan Chengan carefully placed the diamond ring on Su Jinxin's ring finger, then stood up and hugged her tightly.

The audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, wishing the couple, who had overcome many hardships, a happy ending.

May you have a long and happy marriage! May you have a son soon!

"We will be together forever and grow old together!"

Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan smiled at each other, their eyes filled with happiness and sweetness.

However, at this moment of celebration, a discordant voice suddenly came from the crowd: "West of the city...it seems...it seems something has happened in the west of the city..." The person was pale and spoke intermittently, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums and the crackling of firecrackers, guests mingled and chatted, enjoying themselves immensely.

Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan's wedding is undoubtedly the biggest gossip of the year. Netizens say that this gossip is guaranteed to be ripe and incredibly sweet!

Yan Cheng'an's actions directly elevated his "living dead" persona to new heights, making him the best male protagonist to achieve a comeback this year.

Su Jinxin, on the other hand, transformed from an "abandoned wife" into a winner in life, a true protagonist of a satisfying novel!

The business alliance reached an unprecedented peak with the support of the wedding.

Bigwigs from all walks of life came to offer their congratulations and, incidentally, to curry favor with the company. After all, who wouldn't want to board this business behemoth and reach the pinnacle of life together?

Su Jinxin accepted the compliments with a smile, secretly pleased: Hmph, those who used to look down on me now have to beg me!

On their wedding night, the red candles flickered, and Yan Cheng'an gazed at Su Jinxin with deep affection, his eyes filled with doting: "Xin'er, for the rest of my life, you are all I have." Su Jinxin smiled shyly and leaned gently on his shoulder: "Me too." At this moment, the world was peaceful and serene.

However, the good times did not last long.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, the person who had brought the news earlier stumbled in again, his face even paler than before, his lips trembling, and his words incoherent: "N-nothing...something bad has happened! In the west of the city...so many people...have collapsed! Spitting...spitting blood...and...and..."

Yan Cheng'an's expression hardened, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He grabbed the person who came to his aid and said, "Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

The man took a deep breath and said with all his might, "West of the city... plague... it's a plague!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The once lively wedding banquet fell silent instantly, as if the air had frozen.

Su Jinxin suddenly stood up, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She gripped Yan Cheng'an's hand tightly, her voice firm: "Husband, let's go!"

Yan Chengan took her hand in return and gave her a reassuring look: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The two looked at each other, their eyes showing no panic, only determination and resolve.

Just then, a servant rushed in, knelt on the ground, and cried out in a trembling voice, "Master, Madam, the city...the city gate...the city gate is sealed!"
