Chapter 823: Chapter 823 No One Understands Her Better

Zhang De simply couldn’t believe what he had heard.

They might not know the true strength of the woman Yu Jingting described as "not even worth several Gold Mountains."

But every single confidant following Yu Jingting knew how much the Boss cherished his childhood sweetheart with whom he had grown up, his own wife.

The woman the Boss adored had indifferently remarked that it wasn’t important, following the Boss’s kidnapping.

A fury blazed in Zhang De’s eyes, and all respect for Suizi vanished.

"I don’t have time to explain why, but every decision I made today was in accordance with Jingting’s wishes."

Seeing that he stood motionless in front of the car, Suizi took the keys from his hand, opened the door, and gestured for him to get in.

Zhang De’s face displayed all his emotions; for a moment, he felt indignant on behalf of the Boss.

The current situation allowed no time for dwelling on this issue. He got in the car and drove toward the destination, his attitude towards Suizi colder than when they had first met.

"Let me tell you about our current financial issues—"

"No need, I’m aware of them."

"???"

"After deducting the advance payments we made earlier, we still owe 185,000 in goods payments."

"!!!" She knew this?

"The payments owed to us by foreign merchants must be collected today, no later than 3 PM tomorrow, otherwise our net profit will shrink by at least five percent."

"You mean—?"

"The exchange rate is changing."

Those four words from Suizi changed Lao San’s expression.

They all had connections at home and prided themselves on being well-informed. None of them had received any intel about a change in exchange rates. How did she know?

"There must have been rumors these past few days. I’ve been closely monitoring the fundamentals. With the recent foreign negotiations in China, there had to be discussions about exchange rates, and collecting payments early would ensure a fivefold difference from the official rate. They must have heard the rumors early and are trying to delay us by a few days."

Zhang De was astonished.

Not a single detail about the company, large or small, could be kept from her. Her grasp of financial issues was crystal clear, and she even made policy fundamental analyses!

"We were trained in this field too, so how did we not notice? Did the Boss know about this in advance? If he did, why didn’t he inform us?"

Zhang De was sharp.

"I just received the news and came straight here—your big brother’s focus isn’t on this; it’s good to have me watch over things while you charge ahead on the front lines," Suizi replied with high emotional intelligence.

Yu Jingting, of course, had known well in advance. Suizi had memories from her previous life, giving her an edge in grasping policy directions, even quicker than her own father.

Without absolute political acumen, how could she dare to allow Yu Jingting to go to the extent of selling pots and pans and forming alliances for such a high-risk, high-profit industry?

The profits came from the information gap she held from her past life, and even the slightest shortfall was unacceptable.

Zhang De didn’t say anything else.

No matter whether this woman was sincere towards the Boss or not, her personal abilities shone through these few sentences.

In less than ten minutes, Suizi managed to straighten out Zhang De on this ride. Handling Zhang De meant the rest of the brothers would be steadied by him.

If the company had been under Yu Jingting’s leadership for many years, then during such a crucial time for survival, the prestige left to her by her husband was enough for Suizi to command the troops.

But after all, this was a company just in its infancy; Yu Jingting had been in partnership with them for just a few months. These brothers had just stepped out of the school campus, their blood still boiling with the passion of youth, placing loyalty above profit.

Suizi had to show all her strength to get these trusted men of her husband to follow her lead and become a force to be reckoned with.

It was only after talking to her that Zhang De realized how much substantial knowledge this woman, who always stood behind the Boss smiling silently, held in her heart.

"How can you, a woman, have such a precise grasp of the big picture?" Zhang De was puzzled; in his mind, this kind of strategic thinking was unique to men.

"Does the battlefield of business distinguish between men and women?" Suizi was already used to this kind of discourse that belittled women’s abilities and was not bothered by it.

Zhang De was at a loss for words, suddenly feeling his views were very narrow, and he felt embarrassed.

"I’m sorry, Sister-in-law, I meant no offense, it’s just—"

"It’s fine, I’m used to it. I grew up in a small village where I’ve been hearing since childhood that there’s no use for women to get an education. It’s only your big brother who respects me first and foremost for my independent existence, and secondarily as a woman."

Although Yu Jingting would always brag and strut on the kang showing off his male chauvinism, when it came to the consciousness of gender equality, he was more open-minded than anyone else.

Suizi pushed her sunglasses up; they were her armor, and before Yu Jingting appeared, she wouldn’t let anyone read her emotions.

"If my big brother treats you so well, why don’t you show any concern for him?" Zhang De did not understand Suizi’s last sentence.

First as a person, and then as a woman—but why did he feel that the Boss, upon seeing his sister-in-law, always had lustful eyes and couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful his wife was?

"Leave that question for your big brother to answer himself when he returns. My visit this time has nothing to do with love or romance."

This statement, at first hearing, seemed incredibly indifferent; it was only much later that Zhang De understood.

The sister-in-law, who had changed from her usual tranquil image to one of a warrior in full armor and brimming with aggressive energy after the big brother’s disappearance, said it was not about love or romance, yet everything she did was full of love for Yu Jingting.

After dealing with Zhang De, Suizi used the remaining time on the road to convey her subsequent strategic deployments.

With the foundation laid earlier, Zhang De no longer doubted Suizi’s personal ability and even saw the presence of Yu Jingting in her.

The sister-in-law and big brother had polar opposite personalities—one extremely assertive and the other gentle as water—yet their approaches to problem-solving were strikingly similar.

Perhaps if the big brother were here, he would make the same decisions as her.

Zhang De wondered whether his big brother was safe at that moment and whether he would have the fortune to be brothers with him in this life... Thinking of Yu Jingting, his eyes grew moist.

Suizi saw his despondency and reassured him decisively:

"Everything we are doing now is based on the premise that Jingting can return as the king. We need to believe he will come back more than anyone else. If we waver, then it’s even harder to convince others to continue cooperating with us."

Zhang De blinked away the tears that were on the brink of falling and nodded firmly.

"The big brother will definitely come back!"

"Mhm," Suizi nodded in agreement.

The car arrived at its destination.

Yu Jingting’s trading company’s Office in the Special Zone was not large; only a room was rented, and the staff, only a few in number, were essentially running a shell company.

Outside the company, quite a few people were gathered, chanting slogans in the local accent.

"Sister-in-law, I’ll take the car around back, and you can enter through the back door. I’m afraid they’ll hurt you in their emotional state," said Zhang De.

The car was borrowed from the second-in-command and his local relatives to make a good impression for the company. He feared that in their agitated state, they might not only hurt the sister-in-law but also damage the car.

"It’s okay, just park the car here; I will walk over. Let’s proceed with the plan as intended."
