Jiang Yao stood before the huge French windows of a city building, overlooking the bustling streets below, her heart filled with resentment towards Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen's happy life. Her delicate face was twisted with jealousy, and her eyes were filled with a sinister look.
Jiang Yao, a woman with a high opinion of herself and a respectable background, had always believed she was the one to stand by Shen Qingchen's side. She had navigated various social situations and met countless wealthy young men, but Shen Qingchen's appearance was like a ray of light shining into her world. His wisdom, the deep affection beneath his coldness, and his charming appearance all captivated Jiang Yao.
When she saw Shen Qingchen's meticulous care for Jiang Zhi, saw them strolling hand in hand through the streets, saw their deep affection for each other, Jiang Yao's heart felt like it was being stabbed by countless needles. Her jealousy grew wildly in her heart like weeds, and she couldn't bear the thought that Jiang Zhi could have the love she had always dreamed of.
So, Jiang Yao began to carefully plan a conspiracy, a conspiracy that would make Jiang Zhi leave Shen Qingchen. She knew that Shen Qingchen attached great importance to his company. It was his hard work and the continuation of his family's glory. So, she decided to start from there.
Jiang Yao began to mobilize all her connections. She first contacted a well-known professional manager in the business world. Although this manager had excellent business talent, he was disdained by some for his unethical business practices. Jiang Yao promised him a large sum of money if he would follow her plan.
This manager began to secretly sabotage a key project at Shen Qingchen's company. He leveraged his connections to create problems within the project's supply chain. The previously smooth supply of raw materials suddenly began to suffer from various problems. Some suppliers unreasonably delayed deliveries, while others provided materials with serious quality issues. This forced Shen Qingchen's company to slow down production and dramatically increase costs.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yao bribed a financial officer within Shen Qingchen's company. This officer, responsible for auditing some of the company's accounts, was instructed by Jiang Yao to tamper with the financial statements. He deliberately falsified key financial data, making the company's financial situation appear far worse than it actually was. This not only damaged the company's image among shareholders but also created significant obstacles in obtaining bank loans and other financial matters.
Jiang Yao wasn't satisfied with this. She arranged for others to spread negative news about Shen Qingchen's company. They fabricated rumors that Shen Qingchen's products had serious quality problems and spread them extensively through online influencers. These rumors quickly caused panic among consumers. Once loyal customers began to doubt Shen Qingchen's company, and orders plummeted.
To further distract Shen Qingchen, Jiang Yao orchestrated a series of subtle actions targeting her. Knowing that she frequently attended business gatherings, she arranged for someone to deliberately embarrass her. Once, at an important industry exchange dinner, Jiang Yao's agents deliberately asked tricky questions during Shen Qingchen's speech, putting her in an awkward position. These seemingly legitimate business questions were, in fact, carefully crafted traps designed to undermine Shen Qingchen's reputation within the industry.
Jiang Yao's plan also involved Shen Qingchen's family. She sent people to investigate Shen Qingchen's family connections, trying to identify any weaknesses that could be exploited. She discovered that an elder in Shen Qingchen's family held family traditions very dear, and she exploited this. She forged documents implying that some of Shen Qingchen's company decisions violated family traditions and cleverly delivered them to the elder. This led to some resentment within the family towards Shen Qingchen, forcing Shen Qingchen to devote time and energy to explaining and reconciling the family's internal conflicts.
Jiang Yao also wanted to start with Jiang Zhi in her plan. She knew that although Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen had a deep relationship, if Jiang Zhi felt that she would become a burden to Shen Qingchen, she might leave on her own initiative. So, she asked someone to pretend to be a partner of Shen Qingchen's company, approach Jiang Zhi, and hint that because of her relationship with Shen Qingchen, many companies were unwilling to cooperate with Shen Qingchen. She also deliberately exaggerated the difficulties faced by Shen Qingchen's company in front of Jiang Zhi, trying to make Jiang Zhi feel guilty and leave Shen Qingchen on her own initiative.
Jiang Yao would record the progress of her plan in a small notebook every day. A smug smile played across her lips as she looked at the densely packed steps and completed parts. She could already see Jiang Zhi being abandoned by Shen Qingchen, and herself standing by Shen Qingchen's side. She was lost in her own fantasy, completely confident in her conspiracy, completely unaware of the immorality and cruelty of her actions.
However, what she didn't know was that Jiang Zhi had already noticed something unusual and a counterattack was about to begin.
