Chapter 52 Giving advice
In the study of the Marquis's residence, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling sat facing each other, the candlelight flickering on their faces, reflecting their serious and resolute expressions.
“This series of crises is no accident; there must be a dark hand manipulating things behind the scenes.” Su Jinxiu frowned and broke the silence first.
Xiao Ling nodded, his gaze deep: "That's right, we must find out who's behind this in order to solve the problem at its root."
Su Jinxiu tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The most important task at present is to deal with the court's investigation. We need to sort out the accounts clearly to ensure that there are no errors."
Xiao Ling agreed: "I have already instructed the managers to complete the account reconciliation as soon as possible. But that's not enough; we need to find evidence that the other party is framing us."
Su Jinxiu got up and paced around the study: "We can't just sit idly by and wait for our business in Jiangnan to fail. We need to re-establish cooperation with those neutral merchants and offer them more favorable terms."
Xiao Ling said, "That's a good idea, but our competitors probably won't let us have our way so easily."
Su Jinxiu smiled slightly: "We can secretly send people to spread some negative news about them to disrupt their plans."
"This plan is ingenious, but we must proceed with caution to avoid giving the other side any leverage," Xiao Ling cautioned.
The two discussed for a long time, covering everything from personnel arrangements to action plans, down to the smallest detail.
After making all the decisions, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling rested briefly before embarking on their journey to Jiangnan with their carefully selected team.
They traveled tirelessly, their hearts filled with determination to resolve the crisis.
Upon arriving in Jiangnan, they did not take immediate action but instead secretly observed the situation.
“These competitors seem united, but in reality, there are internal conflicts.” Su Jinxiu discovered this clue after observing for several days.
Xiao Ling said, "Then we will start with their conflicts and defeat them one by one."
They first found one of their weaker competitors, and Su Jinxiu personally visited them.
“Mr. Liu, you must be aware of the current situation. Continuing to oppose the Marquis’s Mansion will not do you any good,” Su Jinxiu said bluntly.
Mr. Liu looked troubled: "Ms. Su, I had no choice."
Su Jinxiu said, "As long as you are willing to cooperate with the Marquis's Mansion, past matters can be forgiven, and the Marquis's Mansion will give you more preferential treatment and support."
Under Su Jinxiu's persuasion, Boss Liu finally wavered and agreed to cooperate with the Marquis's Mansion.
With Boss Liu's support, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling felt even more confident.
They then launched an offensive against several other competitors.
However, just as their plans were going smoothly, an accident occurred.
A batch of important goods belonging to the Marquis's residence was robbed during transport and its whereabouts are unknown.
"This must be their revenge!" Xiao Ling was furious.
Su Jinxiu calmly analyzed, "Don't panic, let's find out where the goods went first."
After some investigation, they discovered that the goods were hidden in a remote warehouse.
Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling led their men to retrieve the goods, but were ambushed in the warehouse.
"It seems they were prepared!" Xiao Ling drew his sword and stood protectively in front of Su Jinxiu.
A fierce battle broke out.
Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling fought back fiercely, but with so many enemies, they gradually found themselves in a predicament.
At this critical moment, a mysterious team suddenly appeared and helped them repel the enemy.
"Thank you all for your help. May I ask who you are?" Su Jinxiu asked curiously.
The leader took off his straw hat, revealing a familiar face.
"Miss Su, Mr. Xiao, how have you been?"
It turns out he was a chivalrous knight-errant who had once received favors from the Marquis's mansion.
With the addition of this new force, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling were even more confident.
They continued to outmaneuver their competitors and eventually gained the upper hand.
But at this moment, the imperial court's investigation is becoming increasingly intense. Can they solve all the problems within the limited time and save the Marquis's mansion from disaster?
