The turmoil at the packaging plant had just subsided, and Li Jin hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when bad news came from Jinsheng Real Estate.

Li Jin and Jin Yuanyuan were discussing the order when they received an urgent call from Lin Tao: "Sister, something's happened, the construction site has stopped!" Li Jin's heart sank. Without even changing out of her tired clothes, she immediately drove to the construction site.

The construction site was in chaos, with workers gathered in twos and threes, their faces full of anxiety and unease.

Lin Tao stood to the side, his brows furrowed. Upon seeing Li Jin arrive, he quickly went to greet her. "Sister, the construction material supplier suddenly stopped supplying goods, saying we owe them money, but we've always settled our payments on time." Lin Tao's tone was filled with anger and helplessness.

Li Jin calmly said, "First, calm the workers down and don't let them panic. We'll go and find out what happened." While reassuring the workers, she and Lin Tao began investigating the truth of the matter.

After some twists and turns, they discovered that a company called "Su's Trading" was behind the trouble. This company, through various means, persuaded the material suppliers to stop supplying Jinsheng Real Estate and spread rumors that Jinsheng's cash flow had dried up and its reputation was in trouble.

Upon hearing the name "Su's Trading Company," Li Jin's alarm bells went off. Recalling Su Yue, whom she had seen beside Chen Xiaoyan earlier, she vaguely guessed the conspiracy behind it all.

"Sister, this Su's Trading Company is coming on strong. What should we do now? Many of our partners are starting to take a wait-and-see approach," Lin Tao asked anxiously.

Li Jin's eyes were firm. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "The innocent have nothing to fear. Let's first compile the company's financial statements to prove that our financial situation is good and that we have no outstanding payments."

Meanwhile, contact other reliable material suppliers to resume construction as soon as possible. As for this Su's Trading Company, I'd like to see what other tricks they have up their sleeve.

In the days that followed, Li Jin and Lin Tao led their team, working day and night. They visited each partner individually, using detailed data and a sincere attitude to dispel their doubts; they negotiated with new material suppliers to secure better materials and reasonable prices; and they also had to deal with occasional negative public opinion and clarify the facts.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaoyan and Su Yue sat in their luxurious office, watching Jinsheng Real Estate fall into trouble, a smug smile on their faces. "Li Jin, let's see how you turn things around this time," Su Yue said viciously.

Chen Xiaoyan smoked a cigarette, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference: "The business world is like a battlefield. Being soft-hearted and kind is a fatal weakness. She should have understood this a long time ago."

Just as Li Jin was trying to turn things around, another blow came. A quality problem appeared in a building on the construction site. Although it was just a few minor flaws, it was magnified infinitely during this sensitive period. The media began to report on it extensively, and competitors took the opportunity to kick him while he was down, severely damaging Jinsheng Real Estate's reputation.

Looking at her sleeping daughter, Li Jin's restless heart gradually calmed down. She knew that the more difficult the moment, the more important it was not to lose her composure.

The next day, she convened an emergency meeting with all employees. "We are indeed facing unprecedented difficulties, but this is also our opportunity to prove ourselves," Li Jin said firmly. "We must thoroughly investigate the quality issues and give the public an explanation."
