Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Gong Lin hung up the phone, his face ashen, and his hand holding mine trembled slightly.

"Something happened at the factory..."

My heart sank.

What happened?

Could it be...

A bad feeling flashed through my mind.

Upon arriving at the Gong family's old residence, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

Old Master Gong sat in his armchair, his face gloomy, while Second Uncle Gong stood to the side with a faint smile on his lips.

Several elders from the family were also present, each staring at me with unfriendly expressions.

"Lin'er, what exactly happened?" Old Master Gong asked in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of suppressed anger.

"Grandpa, the factory's raw materials... have been switched." Gong Lin's voice was low, yet firm and resolute.

"The product was switched?" I was startled and looked at Gong Lin, who gave me a reassuring look.

Since the incident in the study, Grandpa Gong revoked the authority held by Second Uncle Gong and agreed to Gong Lin's suggestion to hand over part of the business that Gong Lin had taken over to me. Everything was going smoothly until unexpectedly...

"Hmph, I think it's because someone mismanaged it!" Old Li said sarcastically, his gaze piercing me.

"What does a girl know about business? I think Lin'er is just blinded by her beauty!"

"Old Li, what do you mean by that?" Gong Lin's expression grew even colder.

"You know perfectly well what I mean!" Old Li glared back at him defiantly.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

I know these people have been waiting to see me fail.

Uncle Gong was even more eager for me to make a fool of myself so that he could have a chance to take back these businesses.

“Grandpa,” I stepped forward, my tone calm, “I am willing to investigate this matter personally.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Even Uncle Gong was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"You're going to investigate?" Old Li scoffed. "What can you possibly find out?"

I ignored his sarcasm and looked directly into Old Master Gong's eyes, saying firmly, "I believe I can find out the truth."

Grandpa Gong looked at me, a complex light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke: "Alright, I'll let you investigate. But if you can't find anything out..."

“If I can’t find out, I’m willing to bear all the consequences.” I interrupted him without hesitation.

I turned and left the old house, with Gong Lin following closely behind me.

“Qingqing, you…” He hesitated, his eyes filled with worry.

I gave him a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

I walked straight to the car parked by the roadside, opened the door, and got in.

"Go to... Rongfa Trading Company."

Gong Lin didn't say anything and silently started the car.

Inside the carriage, all was silent, save for the low rumble of the engine echoing in the air…

Suddenly, as if I had just thought of something, I abruptly turned to look at Gong Lin…

Rongfa Trading Company is the supplier that provides raw materials to our factory.

I have a strong feeling that this is where the problem lies.

When I arrived at the company, I went straight to their general manager.

After a conversation, I noticed that the general manager was speaking evasively and his eyes were darting around, which clearly indicated something was wrong.

I subtly extracted some information and then left the company.

Back in my car, I immediately called a private investigator I knew before and asked him to investigate the relationship between Rongfa Trading Company and Attorney Wu.

Lawyer Wu is the Gong family's personal lawyer. I had been harboring resentment towards him because I discovered that he had accepted bribes from Uncle Gong.

“Gong Lin, I suspect this matter is related to Attorney Wu,” I said, turning to Gong Lin.

A cold glint flashed in Gong Lin's eyes: "Attorney Wu? He actually dared to..."

"It's just suspicion right now, there's no evidence yet," I said calmly. "Let's wait for news from the private investigator."

Two days later, the private investigator brought me news.

Just as I expected, Attorney Wu had a secret deal with the general manager of Rongfa Trading Company. He took money from Uncle Gong and had the general manager replace the original raw materials with inferior ones in order to frame me.

After obtaining the evidence, I immediately rushed back to the Gong family's old residence.

"Grandpa, I've found out everything," I said calmly, handing the documents to Grandpa Gong.

After reading the document, Old Master Gong's face turned ashen. He slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "Outrageous! Lawyer Wu, you traitor!"

Uncle Gong's expression also turned ugly; he hadn't expected me to find out the truth so quickly.

"Second Uncle," I looked at Uncle Gong, my tone icy, "do you have anything to explain about this?"

Uncle Gong Er feigned composure: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Is that so?" I sneered. "Attorney Wu has already confessed everything. Are you still going to try to deny it?"

Old Master Gong immediately ordered that Lawyer Wu be expelled from the family and never be employed again, but made no mention of what would happen to Second Uncle Gong.

I thought the matter was over, but little did I know that this was just the calm before the storm.

The next day, rumors began to circulate in the family that I had ill intentions, deliberately framed Uncle Gong, and wanted to seize the Gong family's property.

I know that Uncle Gong and Old Li are behind this.

I found Gong Lin and told him about it.

"Don't worry," Gong Lin comforted me, "I'll handle it."

“Gong Lin,” I grasped his hand, my tone firm, “this time, I will resolve this personally.”

I turned and left Gong Lin's room, heading straight for the family meeting room...

When Butler Liu saw me outside the door, his expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to stop me: "Miss Miao, the family meeting is in progress, you can't go in..." I pushed him aside and sneered: "Today, I'm going in no time!"

I pushed open the conference room door, and everyone's eyes were on me.

Uncle Gong and Old Li sat beside Old Master Gong, their faces bearing smug and mocking smiles, as if victory was already in their grasp.

I walked straight to the conference table and slammed the documents in my hand onto it.

"Everyone, I'm sure you're all eager to know where those rumors about me in the family came from, right?"

I looked around, my gaze finally settling on Uncle Gong and Old Man Li, and said in an icy tone, "I think these two should know better than I do."

Uncle Gong's expression changed slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm: "Miao Qing, what do you mean by this? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

"Whether I'm lying or not, everyone can see for themselves." I opened the file and showed Attorney Wu's testimony and evidence such as transfer records one by one.

Every single account clearly records how Uncle Gong bribed Lawyer Wu and how he instructed his subordinates to spread rumors and frame me.

The meeting room erupted in uproar, and everyone looked at Uncle Gong and Old Li with shock and disdain.

Uncle Gong's face turned ashen, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Old Li looked on incredulously, as if he couldn't believe that his carefully planned scheme had been so easily exposed by me.

Gong Lin walked to my side, held my hand tightly, and gave me silent support.

His resolute gaze gave me immense peace of mind and strength.

I turned to look at him and gave him a grateful smile.

I continued, "I know some people have always disliked me and think that a woman like me shouldn't interfere in family affairs. But I want to tell you, I'm not someone to be manipulated. Anyone who tries to harm me will be retaliated against tenfold!"

No sooner had I finished speaking than Old Master Gong suddenly stood up, slamming his cane heavily against the ground with a dull thud.

"Enough!" He glared at Uncle Gong and Old Li. "What else do you have to say?"

Uncle Gong and Old Li were pale and speechless.

Looking at their disheveled state, I felt no pity whatsoever.

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and Butler Liu walked in with a flustered expression, whispering a few words in Old Master Gong's ear.

Old Master Gong's expression instantly turned serious...

He suddenly turned to look at me, his eyes filled with complex emotions...

After hearing what Butler Liu said, Old Master Gong's face turned terribly gloomy.

He turned to look at me, his gaze sharp as a knife: "Miao Qing, I know you've been wronged, but the family business can't be delayed any longer. The Rongfa Trading Company incident has already caused the factory heavy losses, and now it's facing cash flow difficulties and a significant decrease in orders. I'm giving you three months to turn the factory back to profitability. If you can't do that..." He paused, his tone meaningful, "I'll have to reconsider your relationship with Lin'er."

Three months!

A chill ran through me; this was an almost impossible task.

The Rongfa Trading Company incident dealt a heavy blow to the factory; three months was simply not enough time for it to recover.

Old Master Gong is clearly trying to intimidate me and make me back down.

I took a deep breath, suppressing my anger, and said calmly, "Grandpa, I know this is difficult, but I am willing to accept the challenge." I turned to look at Uncle Gong and Old Li, a cold smile playing on my lips, "And please wait and see, Uncle Gong and Old Li."

Stepping out of the conference room, I felt completely drained.

What should I do after three months?

I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug deep into my flesh, but I felt no pain at all.

Gong Lin chased after me and pulled me into a tight embrace, his voice filled with concern: "Qingqing, are you alright?"

I shook my head, trying to appear calm: "I'm fine, just... a little tired."

After returning home, I locked myself in my study and began to think of a solution.

The Rongfa Trading Company incident caused me to lose a lot of money and orders. To turn a profit within three months, I need a new breakthrough.

I took out paper and pen and began to calculate the factory's various costs and expenses, looking for areas where I could cut costs.

I also need to find ways to explore new markets and secure more orders.

Time ticked by, and my brain raced, with various solutions colliding and intertwining in my mind.

I kept overturning and rebuilding until I found a feasible solution.

The next day, I convened the factory's management and announced my plan.

My plan was bold and innovative, which aroused a lot of doubts from the management.

I know that my plan is very risky, and a slight mistake could lead to complete failure.

But I had no choice; I had to take the plunge.

For the next few days, I lived in the factory almost every day, working overtime with the workers to rush orders.

I only sleep a few hours a day, and I've lost a lot of weight.

Gong Lin looked at me with heartache and advised me not to push myself too hard.

But I shook my head and said firmly, "I must do it, I cannot lose."

One evening, I was working overtime in the office when I suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

"Ms. Miao, I'd like to discuss a business deal with you..."
