Time passed minute by minute, and the sky outside the window gradually turned white.

Su Li rubbed her sore eyes, and suddenly, her gaze fell on the background information of an inconspicuous partner representative.

This person keeps a low profile and rarely appears in the public eye. Su Li had previously only focused on the project itself and ignored these details.

She immediately opened the search engine, entered the representative's name, and did not miss any relevant information.

Finally, in a report from a few years ago, Su Li discovered a key piece of information: the representative had caused the company to fall into crisis due to investment mistakes, and was ultimately able to turn things around with the help of the government.

This piece of information shocked Su Li's heart. She keenly felt that this might be the breakthrough of the project!

A few days later, a charity dinner was held at a hotel in the city, attended by celebrities from all walks of life.

Su Li attended the event in a simple and elegant black dress, attracting a lot of attention.

"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Gu? Why are you here alone? Where is Mr. Gu?" A sarcastic voice came from behind. Su Li knew without turning around that the person who was speaking was Gu Jinyan's ex-girlfriend, the white moonlight that he held at the top of his heart.

Su Li turned around gracefully with a faint smile on her face: "Miss Tang, please don't worry about what's going on between Jin Yan and me."

"What? Were you ignored by Mr. Gu, so you came out alone to make yourself known?" Tang Wan couldn't hide the pride in her eyes and deliberately raised her voice, which attracted many curious glances from the people around her.

Su Li looked at her calmly, "Ms. Tang, you are joking. I just think that instead of wasting time on meaningless speculation, it is better to do more meaningful things."

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Gu Jinyan, dressed in a black suit, walked in with great bearing. His eyes searched the crowd and finally fell on Su Li.

Su Li met his gaze, but her heart was calm. She nodded politely, then turned and walked towards the crowd, leaving Gu Jinyan and Tang Wan standing there.

"Jin Yan, look at her. She is obviously ignored by you, but she still pretends nothing happened. She is so pitiful..." Tang Wan's voice became smaller and smaller because she found that Gu Jinyan's expression was getting uglier and uglier.

"Tang Wan, you'd better figure out your identity." Gu Jinyan interrupted her coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

"I..." Tang Wan wanted to say something, but was frightened by Gu Jinyan's cold eyes and dared not speak again.

Gu Jinyan retracted his gaze and walked straight towards Su Li. He felt mixed emotions in his heart. He was worried about Su Li, but also a little unhappy about her current distance...

The hustle and bustle of the banquet hall seemed to be isolated outside. Su Li held a glass of champagne and looked at the crowd calmly, but was thinking about how to use the information in his hands.

At this time, a slightly plump figure came into her sight. It was the representative of the partner.

Su Li approached calmly, politely gestured to the person next to the representative, and said softly: "Hello, Mr. Wang, can I have a word with you for a moment? I have some ideas about the project and would like to discuss it with you in private."

Mr. Wang looked at the elegant and decent Su Li in front of him and felt a little surprised, but he still nodded and agreed.

The two came to the terrace outside the banquet hall, away from the noisy crowd.

"Mr. Wang, I know that you also experienced business difficulties in the past. It must be unpleasant to walk on thin ice." Su Li spoke sincerely and went straight to the point.

Mr. Wang's face changed slightly. This past was a scar he didn't want to mention, but it was mentioned lightly by the young woman in front of him.

"Miss Su, what do you want to say?"

Su Li handed a prepared document to Mr. Wang. "This is my analysis of the current status and future development trends of the project. I believe that as long as we work together sincerely, we will be able to turn the situation around and create a win-win situation."

President Wang took the document and was a little disapproving at first, but the more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became. Su Li's analysis was accurate and unique, and he even predicted some risks and opportunities that he had not yet noticed.

"This plan is excellent. It's obvious that Miss Su has done a lot of homework." A hint of appreciation flashed in Mr. Wang's eyes, and his tone softened a lot.

Su Li knew that her chance had come. "Mr. Wang, I believe you also hope that the project can proceed smoothly and gain greater benefits. I need your support. We need to work together to shut up those who doubt us."

After a sincere discussion, Su Li obtained Mr. Wang's promise that they would increase investment in the project and provide more resource support.

When leaving the terrace, Su Li curled up a confident smile. The first step of the plan was successful.

The relatives of the Gu family heard about the project crisis from somewhere and began to spread rumors about Su Li behind her back, saying that she was incompetent and would only drag down Gu Jinyan. There were even more unpleasant speculations, saying that she deliberately approached Gu Jinyan in order to seize the Gu family's property.

When Su Li heard these rumors, she was neither angry nor defensive. She just smiled faintly and already had a plan in mind.

She personally called several relatives who had a say in the family and gently invited them to the Gu family villa for a family gathering on the weekend. "The project has encountered some difficulties recently, and I also want to hear the opinions of the elders."

Although the relatives on the other end of the phone agreed readily, there was a hint of subtle temptation and gloating in their tone. Obviously, they believed the rumors about Su Li.

Su Li put down the phone, her eyes gradually becoming firm. In this Hongmen Banquet, she wanted to let them know who the real clown was.

On weekends, the Gu family villa is bustling with activity.

Su Li, dressed in a simple and elegant cheongsam, gracefully shuttled among the guests, always with a decent smile on her face. She was keenly aware that behind those seemingly cordial greetings, there were inquiring, suspicious, and even disdainful looks.

"Su Li, I heard that you are in charge of a big project in the company recently. How is it going? Don't overwork yourself." The speaker was Gu Jinyan's second aunt, and there was obvious temptation and teasing in her tone.

"Yes, Su Li, you are still young and lack experience. You should learn more from Jin Yan and don't try to be so stubborn." Third Aunt also echoed, her words full of contempt.

Other relatives also spoke up, seemingly expressing concern, but in fact they wanted to make fun of Su Li and were waiting to see how she would deal with this "hot potato".

Su Li took in everyone's expressions and sneered in her heart, but she still maintained an elegant smile on her face and spoke slowly: "Thank you for your concern, elders. The project has indeed encountered some challenges, but I have found a solution and I believe it will be back on track soon."

"Oh? Really? Congratulations." Second Aunt's tone was full of doubt. "I don't know what the solution is. Tell us about it so that we old bones can gain some knowledge."

Su Li smiled slightly and took out a document from her handbag calmly, "This is my latest plan for the project. I hope the elders can give me some pointers."

She handed the document to the servant beside her, and the servant distributed the document to everyone present.

The relatives took the documents and their originally nonchalant expressions gradually turned serious.

The document analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the project in detail and proposes specific solutions to the current problems. Each step is well thought out, with clear logic and detailed data, making it convincing.

For a moment, the living room was silent, with the only sound being the flipping of documents.
