Chapter 1750: Winning and Losing Cannot Be Judged by Appearances

General Manager Zhang said with a fake smile, "You two are putting on a double act, aren't you? It's too late. Every order that comes out of the Chairman's office is valid. Eldest Young Mistress, you really are a heroine among women. The Chairman has been suppressing this signature for two years and wouldn't sign it, but you ended up signing it. Hahahaha."

"You did this on purpose?" Although Su Qiangying did not understand company affairs, she was not stupid. If she still could not see it after General Manager Zhang made it so obvious, she would truly be beyond saving.

During the few days she had been helping at the company, she actually had a very good impression of General Manager Zhang.

The two had met several times in the pantry.

Jian Yixin had a Secretary and an Assistant, but she did not let them do small tasks like pouring tea or water, instead having Su Qiangying do them.

She was not very willing, but she did it anyway. Although General Manager Zhang was the company's Vice General Manager and also had a Secretary, he did not put on airs like Jian Yixin and would go to the pantry to make his own coffee.

Every time they met, General Manager Zhang would smilingly speak up for Su Qiangying, saying that it was a waste of talent for the Chairman to have her future daughter-in-law do menial tasks like pouring tea and water, like using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken.

The approachable General Manager Zhang, who spoke up for her, once made Su Qiangying think he was a kind and amiable elder, but now it was clear that was not the case at all.

Su Qiangying had hit a wall with General Manager Zhang, which meant the result was irreversible, and so was the loss!

General Manager Zhang had always had ulterior motives at the company, and Jian Yixin knew it, but because he held a high and powerful position, it was difficult to move against him, so she had always kept him on while guarding against him.

She just had not expected the breach to open through her.

Su Qiangying finally realized that because of her recklessness, she had caused great trouble for Moli's mother.

This trouble could no longer be solved by an apology!

She finally knew fear, and felt even more self-reproach; she returned home and locked herself in her room, crying non-stop!

With their daughter having caused such big trouble, the Su parents decided they had to take a stance.

They went to the Jian Family to find Jian Yixin.

This was the first time the parents from both sides had met, yet it felt like the relationship between a creditor and a debtor.

The Su parents wore apologetic smiles, carefully placing the property deed, salary cards, bank deposit slips... and the Jian Family's ancestral Jade Bracelet, one by one, on the coffee table!

"What are you doing?"

Mother Su said, "Moli's mother, our child has caused such big trouble for your family. I know these aren't enough to compensate, but this is all our family has."

Father Su added, "We will pay back the rest slowly. We are sorry to you. Our daughter has been spoiled by us since she was young; she is overbearing, willful, and domineering. Her doing wrong is a failure of our upbringing; it is our responsibility as parents."

"This is the family's entire fortune, but it is still a bit short of your losses. Her mother and I are not too old, so we have taken on a few part-time jobs, striving to minimize the losses as soon as possible..."

Jian Yixin:...

She had not expected that the overbearing Su Qiangying would have such reasonable parents.

"In-laws, take these things back. We are all one family. It is normal to criticize one's own child when they do something wrong; there is no need for compensation..."

Jian Yixin's words made the Su parents overjoyed.

Did she mean she had no intention of separating the young couple?

Yes, that was exactly what she meant.

Jian Yixin had the servants bring out the best tea and prepare lunch to entertain the in-laws.

The first meeting between the parents of both sides was very harmonious.

Jian Yixin clearly stated that as long as Su Qiangying could learn her lesson and change her overbearing personality in the future, compensation was completely unnecessary.

Mother Su also explained the reason why her daughter had developed such a personality: "Her father and I were both busy with work since she was small and had no time to take care of her. Because she was a girl, her grandmother didn't favor her, and the younger brother in the family was always bullying her. Later, she beat her brother up, and after that, she was never bullied again."

"From then on, she became more and more overbearing, thinking that only by being strong could she avoid being bullied, and so she developed this personality."

Mother Su's words touched Jian Yixin deeply. She had not been overbearing from the start either; it was only after a series of events that she felt being gentle was useless and would only lead to being bullied.

That was why her personality became increasingly strong, though she had also suffered many losses from being too strong.

Yet she still felt it was better this way.

Su Qiangying's experiences and personality development were very similar to her own; no wonder her son and husband both said A Ying was more like her daughter!

Opposition often begins with a lack of understanding.

And once there is understanding, there is empathy.

This meeting between the parents of both sides began with an apology and ended with the recognition of family ties!

The Su parents were very serious people and firmly demanded to compensate for the company's losses. In the end, Jian Yixin proposed a win-win solution.

This debt would be treated as the Jian Family's betrothal gift. Originally, the betrothal gift she had prepared for her son was also over ten million, so now there was no need to give a betrothal gift, and naturally, there was no need to pay it back.

The Su parents readily agreed.

Agreeing meant the two children's marriage was settled. Moli was a good child, and they were very satisfied, so naturally, there was no reason to disagree.

Amidst the global economic crisis, when everyone was frowning, Jian Yixin even managed to get her son engaged.

The engagement ceremony was very simple; the two families just had a meal together.

Su Qiangying originally did not want a dowry, fearing she would be looked down upon by her in-laws, but now she had to accept it whether she wanted to or not; this head was lowered regardless.

After all, she owed so much money and could not pay it back.

From then on, Su Qiangying could never speak with full confidence in front of Jian Yixin again.

She always felt she owed Jian Yixin. Having taken her money, in truth, Jian Yixin did not care about the loss; she enjoyed Su Qiangying's cautious attitude very much—it felt great.

She was too happy, and happiness is meant to be shared.

She ran to the Sheng Family to find Shi Youxuan. Before she had even finished speaking, her best friend asserted, "This was a trap you set. Only the two of you knew about it; even your son was kept in the dark."

Jian Yixin:...

She said disappointedly, "That's no fun. Nothing can be hidden from you."

Shi Youxuan: "It's not just that you can't hide it from me. My husband Sheng Hanyu, your brother A Ning, and my in-law Yun Zhehao—any one of them could see through your tricks."

Jian Yixin said, "Yes, you are all thousand-year-old foxes turned into spirits. Could my little tricks be hidden from you? I didn't intend to hide it from you anyway. Just tell me, did I do this beautifully or not?"

Shi Youxuan gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised, "Beautifully. This was done truly beautifully. Killing two birds with one stone—it's truly brilliant!"

Jian Yixin had deliberately left a flaw for General Manager Zhang, both to make him show his true colors and solve the company's hidden danger in one fell swoop, and to strike down her future daughter-in-law's arrogance.

As for the solution, she had plenty of ways.

The domestic impact of the financial crisis was like this, but the impact abroad was even more severe, with the greatest impact being on Country L.

This financial crisis directly led to the current government of Country L being overthrown once again.
