After returning to the capital to farm, the abandoned concubine made a comeback.

The mysterious envelope made Lin Qin sneer, "That's all?" She was not afraid at all and directly led Zhu Ling and the newly raised funds into the new business field.

The grand opening of the new store was a lively affair, with drums and firecrackers going off everywhere. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was a celebrity meet-and-greet!

However, beneath the surface of the excitement, undercurrents were brewing.

The owners of several long-established businesses were sitting in the teahouse, sneering repeatedly.

"This country girl really thinks she can make a living in the capital? She's overestimating herself!"

Lin Qin's New Territory was a multi-functional shop that combined dining, entertainment, and shopping, which was quite unique and novel at the time.

The store was packed with customers on its first day of opening, and the cashiers were overwhelmed with work.

Lin Qin stood behind the counter, smiling like a flower, her mind racing with calculations. This money came too easily!

The good times didn't last long, and suppression from competitors followed one after another.

First, they maliciously slandered and spread rumors that Lin Qin's shop had stale ingredients and poor service.

Then they hired online trolls to leave negative reviews on various forums, and even arranged for people to cause trouble at the store, extorting money from customers.

Lin Qin's team was caught off guard, and their revenue plummeted, causing widespread panic among the employees.

Faced with such a strong offensive, Lin Qin did not panic.

She knew that the business world was like a battlefield, and that constantly backing down would only embolden her opponents.

She first called a meeting with all employees to stabilize morale and promised to give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

Then, she began to fight back one by one.

In response to the rumors, she openly and transparently demonstrated the shop's food sourcing channels and processing procedures, and invited authoritative institutions to conduct testing, proving her innocence with facts.

As for the online trolls, she collected evidence, reported them to relevant departments, and protected her rights through legal means.

As for those who caused trouble, she showed no mercy and called the police to deal with them without any leniency.

Lin Qin's series of actions were swift, decisive, and clean, catching her opponents off guard.

They hadn't expected the little girl, whom they thought they could easily crush, to be so troublesome.

Just when they were at their wits' end, Lin Qin appeared before them with Zhu Ling.

"Gentlemen, business is doing quite well," Lin Qin said with a smile, but her tone carried a hint of coldness, "but the methods you use are not so clean!"

Lin Qin took out a few sheets of paper and slammed them on the table.

"Gentlemen, take a look at this?" Several sheets of paper contained detailed records of their crimes, including hiring online trolls, malicious defamation, and arranging disturbances, as well as account details of their private transactions.

With the evidence irrefutable, the bosses were speechless and their faces turned pale.

They never imagined that this seemingly weak woman had so much dirt on them!

"Now, let's talk about compensation." Lin Qin smiled like a little fox, but her eyes were sharp as knives.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the business owners had no choice but to obediently pay compensation.

After receiving the compensation, Lin Qin did not stop there. She donated all the money to charity and issued a public statement exposing the despicable behavior of her competitors.

This move completely won over the hearts of the people.

Lin Qin's shop business became even more booming, and she rapidly expanded into new areas, becoming the most sought-after commercial center in the capital.

The competitors suffered a crushing defeat, their reputations were ruined, and they completely withdrew from the market.

In the new business world, there was no shortage of cheers and admiration for Lin Qin; it was practically a coronation ceremony for a business queen!

With the dust settled, Zhu Ling led Lin Qin to a secret garden.

The moonlight was like water, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, and the romantic atmosphere was intoxicating.

Zhu Ling looked at Lin Qin with deep affection, "Qin'er, you are truly amazing."

Lin Qin winked playfully, "Of course, don't you know who I am!"

Zhu Ling moved closer to Lin Qin and gently embraced her.

Lin Qin's heart raced, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

Zhu Ling lowered his head and kissed Lin Qin, his kiss both gentle and domineering.

The garden was filled with a passionate atmosphere.

After the kiss ended, Lin Qin nestled in Zhu Ling's arms, feeling his warmth.

"Ling..." Lin Qin began to speak, but then choked up...

Lin Qin sniffed, tears blurring her vision.

"Ling, do you know? I...I'm actually very scared..." She recounted the hardships she had endured along the way, from the fear and anxiety she felt when she first arrived in this strange world, to the despair of being framed and demoted to a discarded concubine, to the difficulties she faced in the early stages of starting her business. All the pressures weighed on her like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.

She was not a business prodigy, nor did she have any talent for business; she was simply forced by life to grit her teeth and forge ahead.

Zhu Ling hugged her tightly with heartache and gently patted her back.

"I know, I know everything. You did a great job, better than anyone else." His gentle voice was like a warm current, slowly flowing into Lin Qin's heart, dispelling all her fear and anxiety.

Lin Qin cried like a child in his arms, releasing all her grievances and pressure.

After crying, she felt much lighter, as if a huge burden had been lifted.

Looking up at Zhu Ling, she burst into laughter through her tears, "Oh dear, my makeup is all ruined, I don't look good anymore."

Zhu Ling affectionately pinched her nose, "In my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful."

Under the moonlight, the two embraced and kissed, their love more intense than ever before.

Through trials and tribulations, their relationship grew stronger, and they cherished each other even more.

The next day, Lin Qin made a decision that shocked everyone.

She announced that she would donate a portion of the profits from her new business ventures to philanthropy, helping those in need.

The news caused an uproar throughout the business world.

Some people didn't understand, some questioned, but others admired.

"Mr. Lin, what are you doing? Why are you giving up making money to do charity?" a businessman couldn't help but ask.

Lin Qin smiled slightly, "What I take from the people should be used for the people. The money I earn should also be given back to society."

Her actions earned her more respect and support.

Lin Qin's name has become a legend in Beijing's business circles.

However, Lin Qin did not stop. She had bigger plans and more ambitious goals.

“Ling,” Lin Qin looked at the dense markings on the map, her eyes sparkling, “what do you think would happen if we promoted this model nationwide?”

Looking into her ambitious eyes, Zhu Ling smiled slightly. "Then... let's wait and see."

When Lin Qin's new store opened, the scene was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and red flags waving—it was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

Branch stores opened one after another, and the business was booming. In her words, "This is not opening stores, it's clearly printing money!" In just a few months, Lin Qin sat on the top spot in Beijing's business world, a true business queen!

Standing on the high podium, receiving everyone's worship, this feeling, wow, even the heroine of a wish-fulfillment novel can't compare to this!

Zhu Ling stood below the stage, looking at the radiant Lin Qin on stage. His eyes were practically filled with longing. This was his wife, amazing!

However, just as Lin Qin was basking in the joy of her business success, a devastating piece of news arrived—a widespread famine had struck the area surrounding the capital, leaving countless people starving and destitute.

The news caused widespread panic in the capital, and Lin Qin's business was also affected.

Those customers who were queuing up to buy things just two days ago are now clutching their wallets tightly, afraid that they will become the next victims.

The store's sales plummeted, employees started whispering among themselves, and even the shareholders who had previously been enthusiastic supporters began to waver.

Lin Qin frowned; things seemed a bit bad.

She immediately convened a meeting with the management team, saying, "Now is not the time to whine; we need to find a way to save ourselves! Money can be earned back, but if people are gone, then we have nothing left!"

Some suggested closing the shop to avoid trouble and reopening it once things calmed down.

But Lin Qin shook her head. "You can run away from the first day of the month, but you can't run away from the fifteenth. If we close the store now, what competitiveness will we have after the disaster is over? If we don't move forward, we will fall behind. We must face the difficulties head-on!" Her inner strength began to burn again.

"First, we must ensure a sufficient supply of goods and never engage in price gouging. We must let the people know that we are conscientious businesses!" Lin Qin's eyes were firm. "Second, we must leverage our advantages to launch affordable products so that everyone can afford them and have access to them. Third, we must actively donate money and supplies to help the disaster-stricken people and contribute to society!" She slammed her hand on the table, her imposing manner startling everyone into silence, and they all nodded in agreement.

Lin Qin's actions not only prevented the business from plummeting, but also stabilized the situation and even won her some goodwill.

Many people came to support Lin Qin's shop, which helped her regain her footing during the crisis.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ling was also busy.

He actively raised disaster relief supplies and led soldiers to the disaster area to help the people.

He was busy and overwhelmed every day, but whenever he thought of Lin Qin, he felt full of strength.

He knew that Lin Qin was also working hard for the country and its people.

Faced with this famine, Lin Qin and Zhu Ling fought side by side, and their relationship was further strengthened.

Their love was not just about romance, but also about responsibility and commitment.

In times of hardship, they supported each other and grew together.

Perhaps this is the most beautiful form of love!
