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

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone for ten seconds.

The next second, Guo Haipeng's calm yet thunderous voice suddenly rang out.

"Xiulan, don't worry!"

"These people are absolutely audacious and lawless! This is blatantly disrupting market order and challenging the bottom line of public security; they're trying to turn the world upside down!"

"I will personally lead the gathering; I will convene everyone tomorrow!"

"I want to see who dares to so brazenly disrupt the rules of the provincial capital's business district!"

After hanging up Guo Haipeng's call, Lin Xiulan's shoulders, which had been tense all afternoon, finally relaxed a little.

Without pausing, she immediately dialed a second number.

This call was made to the Provincial Pharmaceutical Corporation, to liaise with Qian Shouyi's dedicated secretary.

"Hello, is it convenient for you to take this call, Mr. Qian? This is Lin Xiulan from Xiushan Industry."

"Hello Mr. Lin, Mr. Qian is in a meeting. Is there anything you need me to do? I can pass it on to you."

The secretary's tone was polite yet professional.

"Please pass this message on to Mr. Qian after the meeting." Lin Xiulan maintained a professional tone throughout, speaking in a calm and meticulous manner.

"We have officially reported the case to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. This is the official police report number."

She clearly recited a string of numbers.

"The main purpose of my call was to update Mr. Qian on the situation, explaining that our operations were entirely legal, yet we encountered a vicious violent incident."

"I will report any further developments in the case as soon as possible."

The secretary instantly understood the seriousness of the matter and became even more solemn.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, I've got it. I'll report to General Manager Qian immediately after the meeting!"

For her third call, she made a call to Section Chief Zhou of the Provincial Department Store.

As soon as the call connected, Section Chief Zhou's signature loud voice came through, his tone full of indignation and concern.

"I just heard the news from my subordinates, and I'm so angry! Sister-in-law, are you alright? That was terrifying!"

"I'm fine, Brother Zhou."

A warm feeling washed over Lin Xiulan, and she replied softly.

"One of our brothers who was helping with the guard duty was injured while protecting the goods; his injuries were quite serious."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

"This is utterly outrageous!" Section Chief Zhou exclaimed angrily.

"I heard that Director Guo is going to convene an industry briefing tomorrow to specifically address this matter. Have you already made the arrangements?"

"Yes, it's all arranged. Brother Zhou, will you be coming tomorrow?"

"I'll be there! I'll definitely be there!"

Section Chief Zhou answered without hesitation, his tone firm and resolute.

"How dare these people run rampant in the provincial capital! I want to see who's backing them up! I'll be at the meeting tomorrow!"

After making all three crucial phone calls, Lin Xiulan slowly put the receiver back on the landline and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Meili, who was standing nearby, handed over a cup of warm water.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Xiulan at this moment was no longer the shy and timid look she had that morning.

She had originally thought that no one could solve the catastrophic disaster that had befallen her today.

But she witnessed Lin Xiulan remain calm in the face of danger, and in just a few hours, she managed to influence three heavyweight figures in the provincial capital's business circle, turning a potentially fatal crisis into an opportunity.

This turnaround became an excellent opportunity for Xiushan Industry to gain a foothold and establish its authority in the public eye.

By 9 p.m., all matters at the store had been settled.

Lin Xiulan finally found some free time and dialed the phone number of the Hongshi County Forestry Farm.

Her fingertips paused slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she pressed the last digit.

The call connected, and Lu Qingshan's familiar and steady voice came through the receiver.

"Feed".

"Green Mountain, that's me."

She calmed herself down and recounted the events of the day: being stopped on Chang'an Road, being attacked by a group of armed men, being seriously injured by Scarface Liu, and reporting the incident to the police.

Then there's the whole process of how I contacted Guo Haipeng, Qian Shouyi, and Section Chief Zhou to prepare for the briefing.

He recounted everything in detail and with clear logic. Throughout the entire process, there was not a trace of emotional complaining; he simply stated the facts objectively.

After I finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

It was so quiet that there wasn't a sound coming from the receiver.

Lin Xiulan could only clearly hear the pounding of her own heart in her chest.

She held the cold receiver, her palms unconsciously sweating.

She couldn't help but wonder if he thought she had been too impulsive.

Will he blame himself for not asking for help immediately when something serious happened?

After a long while, Lu Qingshan's voice slowly rang out.

He didn't utter a single question or a single reproach.

He spoke only four words slowly and with the utmost certainty.

"You did the right thing."

Four simple words are more powerful than any words of comfort or sweet talk.

With unparalleled power, it instantly soothed her tension and fatigue from the day.

Lin Xiulan's eyes instantly reddened, and the grievances and bitterness she had been holding back all day almost burst forth, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Have you completed the injury assessment and police report?"

Lu Qingshan's tone remained calm and composed, as if he were finalizing a serious matter.

"Everything's done." Lin Xiulan quickly sniffed to calm herself down.

"The clinic has issued a certificate of injury, and the doctor has determined that the injury meets the criteria. I will go to the Municipal Bureau for a formal forensic examination first thing tomorrow morning."

"That's good." Lu Qingshan replied softly, then asked more detailed questions.

"How deep is Scarface Liu's wound? Did it hit any vital organs? Will there be any long-term effects?"

"It required fourteen stitches. Fortunately, no bones or internal organs were damaged. With proper rest, it will fully recover and won't leave any lasting effects."

Lu Qingshan on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief, completely at ease.

"You handled the arrangements for the briefing very well. I won't make an extra call to Uncle Guo to avoid doing anything unnecessary or adding unnecessary complications."

"You have full authority and responsibility for this matter from beginning to end."

He paused slightly, his tone filled with full approval and solemnity.

"Xiulan, you will be speaking at tomorrow's briefing."

"Don't mention my name."

"You won this battle all by yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiulan sat at the table and remained silent for a long time.

Chen Meili had already prepared all the materials needed for tomorrow's briefing, neatly packed them into a brown paper file bag, and gently placed it beside her.

It contains all the necessary ingredients.

A copy of the police report receipt, a medical certificate of injury stamped with the red seal of the health clinic, a repair estimate for the damaged vehicle, and Scarface Liu's work clothes, torn by an iron hook and stained with dried blood.

Lin Xiulan reached out and opened the file bag, looking through each document one by one.

Tomorrow, she wants everyone in the provincial capital to remember one important lesson.

Xiushan Industrial has always operated with kindness, but it will never allow itself to be bullied.

Anyone who dares to harm Xiushan's industries will surely pay a heavy price.
