CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO ADMIT DEFEAT, NOT IN THIS LIFETIME.

Su Wanxin returned home with a complex mood after dinner with the two of them, startling Mu Suyu who was scrolling through social media.

"You came back so early today?"

"I wasn’t feeling well so I left work early," Su Wanxin casually said, noting Mu Suyu’s immediate look of concern, she assured her, "It’s fine, I just need some medicine."

"Let me accompany you to see Zhan Che for a check-up!"

"It’s really nothing." Su Wanxin took a few pills, sat down next to Mu Suyu, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Social media! I’m checking the trending topics." Mu Suyu handed her phone over. "Look at this one."

Su Wanxin glanced at the phone and saw the third trending topic glaringly highlighted: Tripe-digit ROI, giving Su Wanxin an uneasy feeling.

"Wanwan, social media says there’s someone in the finance circle lately who’s really good at bragging, have you heard? Who is it?" Mu Suyu, unfamiliar with these matters, curiously looked at Su Wanxin. "Is a triple-digit ROI really that high? Is it really hard to achieve?"

Su Wanxin: ...

"I’ve heard of it, I know them."

"Eh? It’s true? Who is it?"

"Me."

Mu Suyu: "???"

Su Wanxin sighed with a headache, took the phone, and scrolled aimlessly, only seeing cynicism as expected.

"Promising triple-digit ROI? Now folks don’t even have to draft their boasts?"

"Financial guys are howling with laughter, the top performance in the circle last year was 99, and someone casually claims triple digits?"

"If this were said by a certain Mr. Fu who’s like a fairy, I’d believe. Others, I wouldn’t."

"Previous comment +1!!! I also know that fairy! Which guy in finance wouldn’t know?"

"A woman? If she really can achieve triple digits, it must be fishy, sleeping around for insider info?"

"Can you not have such a foul mouth upstairs? What about women? Can’t women be awesome?"

...

Su Wanxin didn’t bother to read more comments, but she knew it must be a field of insults.

Social media is generally ruled by the entertainment circle, it’s quite rare for finance-related topics to trend, so Su Wanxin and some online folks agreed, this trending topic must have been purchased.

Someone was deliberately hyping up the thing about Alex, trying to put Su Wanxin in a difficult position. If she can’t deliver, it would really be a huge embarrassment. As for who was behind this, Su Wanxin already had an idea.

"Wanwan, what should we do?"

"What do you mean what should we do?" Su Wanxin smiled, handed the phone back to her. "Admitting defeat is out of the question, not in this lifetime. Some people haven’t seen the world, let’s broaden their horizons."

Mu Suyu: "Hehe, I knew you are the best!"

"Bootlicker, bootlicking till the end..."

"You have it all! I’m your bootlicker! Woof woof woof!"

Su Wanxin laughed at her antics, ruffled her hair, and went to her room to rest. The next day at the office, she felt the colleagues’ gazes on her were somewhat unusual, most likely they also knew about the situation on social media.

The finance circle isn’t really that big, and Alex was a tough nut to crack, several companies tried and failed to bring him down. Undoubtedly, Su Wanxin’s matter has already spread in the circle.

Quite a few people were calling friends at the Su Family to inquire about Su Wanxin’s background. From one to ten, ten to a hundred, in just a few days, Su Wanxin’s reputation had made its mark in the Imperial Capital’s finance circle.

Some questioned her capabilities, but others just respond with a knowing smile upon hearing her name.
