My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

Guo Haipeng slammed the red phone back onto the landline with a sharp crack.

His chest heaved, and the anger on his face had not yet subsided.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! Leave this to me!"

Guo Haipeng slammed his hand on the desk, making the teacup on the surface jump.

"Wei Biao's tactics are incredibly dirty! Does he really think the provincial capital is his backyard? Tomorrow at the press conference, I'll lay it all out on him in front of everyone!"

He paced back and forth a couple of times, then stopped and looked at Lin Xiulan.

"I'm not just going to speak, I'm going to say it so he can't utter a single word in rebuttal. I saw clearly what Vice President Qian's attitude was that day. If I don't stand up now, I, Guo Haipeng, will never be able to work in the provincial capital again!"

These words were less of a reassurance and more of a statement.

Lin Xiulan stood up and bowed solemnly to Guo Haipeng.

"Director Guo, I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks."

Guo Haipeng waved his hand and helped her up, saying, "It's too formal to talk about these things. You and Brother Qingshan are people who get things done. Helping you is also helping myself."

……

The following day, in the conference room on the second floor of the state-run hotel in the provincial capital.

A faint smell of tea and tobacco wafted in the air.

The quarterly briefing of the provincial food industry association was much more lively than usual.

Almost all the big and small food factories, distributors, and mountain produce vendors in the provincial capital were there.

Holding the plaque for the specially invited representative, Lin Xiulan, accompanied by Chen Meili, sat down in a front-row seat near the edge.

Her appearance attracted the attention of many people.

Whispers echoed from every corner.

"Is that the owner of Xiushan Industrial Co., Ltd.? She looks quite young."

"What's the use of being young? They've offended Heilong Trade, and I think their business is over."

"I heard their goods are treated with sulfur. Who will be responsible if someone gets sick from eating them?"

Wei Biao sat in the middle of the conference room, wearing a brand-new mink jacket, and the gold watch on his wrist was dazzling.

He saw Lin Xiulan, his lips curled into a sneer, and his face revealed undisguised contempt and mockery.

He even raised his hand and made a downward pinching motion with his fingers in Lin Xiulan's direction.

The meaning was clear: You're no good.

Lin Xiulan met his gaze, but did not look away. She simply calmly looked away and straightened the hem of her clothes.

Chen Meili was so nervous that her palms were sweating when she saw Lin Xiulan standing there calmly, which reassured her a bit.

The meeting proceeded in an orderly fashion, summarizing the work of the previous quarter and outlining the goals for the next quarter—all rather bland and uninspiring bureaucratic pronouncements.

Finally, it was time for the open discussion.

Everyone instinctively looked at Wei Biao, thinking he would be the first to make a move.

Unexpectedly, Guo Haipeng was the first to pick up the microphone on the table.

"Ahem, let me say a few words first."

Guo Haipeng's loud voice immediately drowned out the noise of the entire venue.

All eyes were on him.

Wei Biao crossed his legs, picked up his teacup, and prepared to see what kind of polite words Guo Haipeng would say.

"Besides the usual ventilation, there is an important matter I would like to announce to you all today."

Guo Haipeng paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"Our province's health product factory has reached a deep and exclusive supply agreement with 'Xiushan Industry' from Hongshi County."

One sentence silenced the entire room instantly.

Wei Biao stopped drinking his tea.

Guo Haipeng ignored the reactions of the crowd and continued speaking.

"Some of you here may not be familiar with this new company. But I can tell you with certainty that the quality of Xiushan Industry's mountain products is the best I, Guo Haipeng, have ever seen in my twenty years in the industry! Without a doubt!"

"Their products have low moisture content, few impurities, and are of top quality. After switching to their raw materials, the quality of my hawthorn appetite-stimulating pills improved significantly!"

Guo Haipeng is using his factory's flagship product to guarantee Xiushan Industry's business.

This weight is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Everyone present was shrewd and immediately sensed that something was amiss.

This is no press conference; it's clearly Guo Haipeng endorsing Xiushan Industry!

Guo Haipeng changed the subject, his voice turning cold.

"However, I've recently heard some unpleasant rumors. Some people are spreading unfounded rumors behind my back, questioning whether there's something wrong with Xiushan Industry's goods."

He put down the microphone, stood up, and stared intently at Wei Biao.

"I'm putting my words right here!"

"Anyone who says such things again is questioning my judgment, Guo Haipeng's, and is questioning the quality control system of our provincial health product factory!"

"For every batch of goods from my factory, we keep two copies, along with the samples sent by Xiushan Industry, and send them together to the Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision for sealing and inspection! Anyone who disagrees can come and check anytime! I'll go with you!"

"If anyone manages to find any problems, I, Guo Haipeng, will remove the sign from the health product factory in front of all our colleagues in the city!"

His words were forceful and each one sharp as a knife.

Inside the venue, you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was stunned by Guo Haipeng's ruthless determination to risk everything.

Wei Biao's face visibly turned from white to red, and then from red to liver color.

He wanted to stand up and refute.

But what could he say?

Questioning Guo Haipeng?

That is to question the credibility of the provincial health product factory, a large state-owned enterprise.

Every single one of us here, who would dare?

He felt like everyone's gaze was piercing him like needles, causing a burning pain.

The distributors who had previously been on friendly terms with him now quietly moved their chairs to the side, pretending to look at the ceiling.

The wind direction has completely changed.

A small business owner who had canceled his order due to rumors was now filled with regret. He quickly stood up and gave Lin Xiulan a fawning smile.

"Boss Lin, Boss Lin! I was blind to your worth! I still want my order! I want double the amount!"

"Yes, yes, Director Guo has vouched for it, the goods are definitely fine! Boss Lin, count me in!"

The fence-sitters all switched sides.

Wei Biao sat there, as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the snow, utterly helpless.

He became the biggest joke of the whole event.

He couldn't stay any longer. He suddenly stood up, shoved his chair aside, and stormed out of the conference room without looking back, amidst the disdainful yet somewhat pitying gazes of the crowd.

Lin Xiulan watched his retreating figure, her heart unmoved.

She knew that she had won this battle.

Back at the shop, Lin Xiulan recounted the entire meeting to Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan simply nodded after listening.

There was no surprise on his face.

"It's always easier to kill someone by borrowing someone else's knife than to do it yourself."

He looked at Lin Xiulan with approval in his eyes.

"You handled this very well. You'll encounter many more situations like this in the future."

Lin Xiulan felt a little embarrassed by his praise, but her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Lu Qingshan changed the subject, his eyes turning cold.

Now that the flies outside are gone, it's time to deal with the mice in the house.
