Chapter 117 Reaching the Pinnacle of Business Success, Enjoying a Carefree and Peaceful Life
The gates of the Xu residence slowly opened, and Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan stood side by side. An invisible pressure emanated from them, causing the guards to unconsciously take a few steps back.
The once glorious Xu mansion is now deserted, its dilapidated state a stark contrast to the prosperity of the Su mansion. Truly, fortunes change!
Su Jinxin thought to herself.
However, Su Jinxin's business empire has not been without its challenges.
Just when she thought everything was settled, an undercurrent began to stir.
Those competitors she had once defeated, like scattered hyenas, secretly regrouped, preparing to launch a final counterattack.
They were resentful and unwilling to submit to a woman, much less to see Su Jinxin enjoying such a glamorous life.
"Ha, we'll make you pay!" A burly businessman spat viciously. "Let's team up and bring her down!"
Thus began a commercial campaign against Su Jinxin.
They colluded to drive down prices, maliciously seize Su Jinxin's market share, and even spread rumors to defame Su Jinxin's products.
Suddenly, the market was in turmoil, and Su Jinxin's product sales slowed down significantly. Some of her original partners also began to waver and adopt a wait-and-see attitude.
Su Jinxin frowned as she looked at the mountain of goods.
Yan Cheng'an gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, Xin'er, we'll face this together."
Su Jinxin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
The greater the pressure, the more you need to stay calm and composed!
She turned to look at Yan Cheng'an, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Husband, it seems the real show is just beginning..." She smiled mysteriously, pulling an old book from her sleeve, "It's time to unleash my secret weapon..."
Su Jinxin smiled mysteriously, and what she pulled out wasn't a martial arts manual, but a... recipe book?
That's right, it's a recipe!
This is no ordinary recipe; it's a culinary secret she collected in her previous life, a recipe unheard of in this era.
She knew that food was the most important thing for people, and nothing could win people's hearts more than their stomachs.
"Husband, do you think it would be very popular if we opened a restaurant and introduced these novel dishes?" Su Jinxin winked mischievously.
Yan Cheng'an looked at the recipe in her hand and couldn't help but laugh: "Xin'er, what kind of wonderful ideas are you having? But I like them!"
So, while everyone was racking their brains trying to figure out how to bring down Su Jinxin, a restaurant called "Xin'anlou" suddenly appeared.
Spicy crayfish, spicy grilled fish, beggar's chicken... a variety of unheard-of dishes, their aromas wafting for miles, attracting crowds of people.
Just how popular is Xin'anlou?
To put it simply, every morning before dawn, a long line already forms at the entrance, a scene comparable to the queues at modern trendy online stores!
Those merchants who were originally hesitant immediately couldn't sit still after seeing the booming business at Xin'an Building.
Many people rushed to Su Jinxin seeking cooperation, wanting to become agents for her products, and some even wanted to directly invest in Xin'anlou.
Su Jinxin smiled slightly, accepting all offers; after all, it would be a fool not to make money when it's available!
And what about those competitors who once joined forces to boycott Su Jinxin?
They were dumbfounded!
They never expected that Su Jinxin would do things differently and start a restaurant business!
And it was so successful!
All their previous efforts have become a joke!
Su Jinxin looked at the endless stream of customers and a smug smile appeared on her lips.
This is just the beginning; her goal is not just to dominate the domestic market!
She wants the name "Xin'an" to resonate throughout the world!
"Husband, what do you think about opening Xin'an Tower overseas?" Su Jinxin said to Yan Cheng'an, pointing to a distant country on the map.
Yan Cheng'an looked at the light shining in her eyes and smiled indulgently, "Xin'er, I'll be with you as long as you want." He paused, his gaze deep, "However, before that..." He took out a letter from his sleeve, "Perhaps, we need to deal with this first..."
Su Jinxin took the letter, unfolded it, and raised an eyebrow. It turned out that her former competitors, whom she had previously defeated, were now crying and begging for peace. Some were even willing to go bankrupt just to ask her to show mercy.
Ah, if only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Su Jinxin sneered and threw the letter into the brazier, letting it turn to ashes.
"Want to sue for peace? Too late!"
Xin'anlou's overseas expansion plan spread rapidly like wildfire.
With her memories from her previous life and her advanced business acumen, Su Jinxin introduced modern management models and marketing strategies to this era, building a business empire.
She's mastered the art of "hunger marketing," "membership systems," and "cross-industry collaborations."
Xin'anlou's signature dish has become famous throughout China, and even overseas royalty and nobility have come to try the legendary spicy crayfish.
Those competitors who once joined forces to resist Su Jinxin have now all become her defeated opponents.
They watched helplessly as Su Jinxin devoured their businesses, powerless to resist.
Some went bankrupt and jumped off buildings, some lost everything, and some fled to distant lands... Former business giants have now become homeless dogs, truly a case of "watching him build a tall building, watching him entertain guests, and watching his building collapse."
Su Jinxin stood at the pinnacle of business, looking down upon the masses, yet felt no pride whatsoever.
She knew that all of this was inseparable from Yan Cheng'an's support and companionship.
At the grand celebration banquet, glasses clinked and elegantly dressed people mingled.
Yan Cheng'an held Su Jinxin's hand tightly, his gaze gentle as water: "Xin'er, you did it."
Su Jinxin smiled sweetly and grasped his hand in return: "Husband, this is the result of our joint efforts."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
In the stillness of the night, Yan Cheng'an held Su Jinxin in his arms, gazing at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with happiness and contentment.
He gently kissed her forehead and whispered, "Xin'er, thank you."
Su Jinxin opened her eyes groggily and murmured, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Yan Chengan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that I love you."
Su Jinxin smiled, reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering in his ear, "Me too."
Just as the two were immersed in their sweet love, a sudden, urgent knocking came from outside the window... "Master, Madam, someone from the palace has arrived!"
Someone from the palace?
Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan exchanged a glance, both of them stunned.
What could someone from the palace possibly want in the middle of the night?
Could it be...? The same thought flashed through their minds at the same time: Could it be that the emperor wants to invite them to the palace for a late-night snack?
Although this emperor is quite unconventional, inviting people to have a late-night snack in the middle of the night is just too bizarre, isn't it?
"Please come in quickly!" Yan Cheng'an instructed the servants while quickly straightening his clothes.
Su Jinxin quickly got up and tidied her slightly messy sideburns in front of the bronze mirror.
The newcomer was a young eunuch. As soon as he entered, he knelt down and bowed, panting, "This servant greets Young Master Yan, Boss Su... Boss Su." The young eunuch was clearly intimidated by Su Jinxin's current prestige, and even his address was somewhat stuttering.
"No need for formalities. What brings you here so late at night, sir?" Yan Cheng'an asked in a deep voice.
The young eunuch wiped the sweat from his brow and tremblingly pulled a bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees... Yan Cheng'an and Su Jinxin, receive this decree!"
The two men immediately knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
The young eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it aloud in a shrill voice, so sharp it sounded like a saw being pulled apart, making Su Jinxin want to cover her ears.
The imperial edict stated that the emperor had heard that the dishes at Xin'anlou were incredibly delicious, especially the "spicy crayfish," which was considered a delicacy. Therefore, he specially sent someone to invite Su Jinxin to the palace to prepare a "crayfish feast" for him and the concubines in the harem.
After reading the imperial edict, the young eunuch said to Su Jinxin with a fawning expression, "Boss Su, the Emperor also said that if you can cook dishes that satisfy him, you will be richly rewarded!"
Su Jinxin: "..." She knew it, this emperor must be a glutton!
However, cooking in the palace in the middle of the night is just too much... Just as she was about to find an excuse to refuse, Yan Cheng'an whispered in her ear, "Xin'er, this is a good opportunity."
Su Jinxin was slightly taken aback, then understood Yan Chengan's meaning.
Entering the palace to meet the emperor is an opportunity not everyone has, and this may be their chance to advance further.
"Your Majesty, I obey your decree." Su Jinxin accepted the imperial edict and smiled slightly at the young eunuch: "Sir, please lead the way."
The young eunuch immediately beamed with joy: "Please come in, Boss Su. The carriage is already waiting outside."
Su Jinxin glanced back at Yan Chengan and saw the encouragement in his eyes, which filled her with strength.
She took a deep breath and followed the little eunuch out of the room.
The moment Su Jinxin stepped out of the room, Yan Cheng'an's gaze suddenly deepened. He stared at her retreating figure and murmured, "Xin'er, our future has only just begun..." He turned and went back into the room, walked to his desk, picked up a letter, and on the envelope were the four large characters "Inheritance Plan"...
