The wealthy daughter breaks through the situation with wisdom

Old Master Dai's cloudy eyes swept across the room, and finally landed on Dai Shiya, his disappointment evident in his words. "Shiya, you disappoint me so much! Family unity is above all else, and you are publicly tearing your face apart like this, where is the family's reputation?"

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and tried to control her surging emotions. She knew that she was standing at the forefront of a storm and would be swallowed by the waves if she wasn't careful. "Grandpa, I understand your concerns, but everything I do is for the future of the Dai family. Dai Qiang has been pretending to obey for many years and damaging the interests of the family. If I turn a blind eye, I will be putting the family in danger."

"Although Qiang'er did some things wrong, he is your elder after all, and a member of the Dai family! What will the other family members think if you do this?" Old Master Dai was heartbroken, with a trembling in his tone.

The meeting room was completely silent, and everyone held their breath, not daring to make the slightest sound. Although the voices accusing Dai Shiya had temporarily subsided, suspicion and dissatisfaction were spreading secretly.

After the meeting, Dai Shiya returned to her room exhausted, and Wei Qing was already waiting there. "Shiya, are you okay?" Wei Qing asked with concern.

Dai Shiya shook her head weakly and rubbed her aching temple. "It's okay, just a little tired."

"I know you've been wronged, but now is not the time to be discouraged." Wei Qing handed her a glass of warm water, "We have to think of a way to reverse the current situation."

Dai Shiya took the water cup and took a sip, a bitter taste spreading in her mouth. "Grandpa and those old stubborn people have been blinded by Dai Qiang, and now they won't listen to anything I say."

"We have to take the initiative," Wei Qing said with a gleam in her eyes. "We need to talk to those family members who make the loudest accusations one by one, understand their concerns, and defeat them one by one."

Dai Shiya's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. So, she began to follow Wei Qing's suggestion and visit the family members who questioned her at the meeting one by one.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. Most of these people were influenced by Dai Qiang and Mr. Dai, and they closed the door to her or spoke coldly to her.

"Dai Shiya, don't waste your energy," a family elder said to her bluntly, "We trust Dai Qiang and the old man's judgment. You are a little girl who is still wet behind the ears. What do you know about the family business?"

Another family member even directly rejected her. "I don't want to hear your excuses. Go away!"

Dai Shiya was inevitably frustrated by the repeated setbacks. She returned to her room and threw herself heavily on the bed, feeling powerless.

Seeing this, Wei Qing patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, this is just the beginning. There will always be someone willing to listen to your explanation."

Dai Shiya raised her head and looked at Wei Qing's determined eyes. A glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart... She picked up a document from the table with a firm look in her eyes. "Perhaps it's time to let them see this."

Dai Shiya was not discouraged. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and distributed the detailed plan she prepared for the future development of the family to those family members who were willing to listen to her explanation. This plan was the result of her countless days and nights of hard work. Every data and every plan was the result of her careful consideration. She hoped that this sincere plan would allow them to see her sincerity and her determination to work hard for the future of the family.

Some people were moved by her persistence and were willing to spend time looking through the plan and have in-depth discussions with her. They raised some questions and suggestions, and Dai Shiya listened carefully and wrote them down one by one, and said that she would improve the plan as soon as possible.

However, Dai Qiang's power is still deeply rooted. When he learned of Dai Shiya's actions, alarm bells rang in his heart. He knew the value of this plan, and he knew that once the family members recognized Dai Shiya's ability, his position would be in jeopardy.

So, he secretly instructed some of his men to spread rumors within the family that Dai Shiya's plan was plagiarized from others. These rumors spread quickly within the family like a virus, and those who originally had high hopes for Dai Shiya began to waver, and voices of doubt once again became rampant.

"I knew it. How could a girl like her write such a detailed plan? Turns out she plagiarized it!"

"What a disgrace to the Dai family! It's a pity that the old man trusted her so much before!"

"We must not allow a person of bad character to lead the family!"

When Dai Shiya heard these rumors, she felt extremely angry and wronged. She had never thought that her dedication to the family would be so maliciously misinterpreted and slandered.

After Wei Qing learned about this, she found Dai Shiya indignantly and said, "Shiya, don't worry, I will help you find out who is spreading the rumors behind this!"

Dai Shiya held Wei Qing's hand and shook her head, "No need to check, who else could it be besides Dai Qiang?"

"But we have no evidence..."

"I will prove my innocence." Dai Shiya's eyes flashed with determination. She took out a thick stack of manuscripts and materials from the drawer. "These are all the hard work I put into writing the plan. I will let them know what real strength is!"

However, when Dai Shiya showed up in front of her family members with the evidence, she was not greeted with the understanding and support she had expected. Some questioning looks still lingered...

Dai Shiya put the heavy manuscripts and materials in her hands on the table. "My dear uncles, I know that these alone are not enough to completely dispel your doubts. But please believe that every draft and every trace of modification records the days and nights I have worked hard for the future of our family. I, Dai Shiya, can pat my chest and say that I have a clear conscience!"

Some people began to look through the manuscripts, where dense handwriting and diagrams, traces of revisions were clearly visible, all showing the hard work of the creators. The voices of doubt gradually became smaller, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, they were difficult to eradicate easily.

"Who knows if you forged these later?" Dai Qiang's voice sounded again, his words full of disdain and provocation.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and was about to open her mouth to refute, but a steady voice sounded in the crowd, "I believe Miss Dai."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was a respected elder in the family, Dai Jianguo. He always remained neutral and rarely expressed his opinions on family affairs, but his words were very important.

Dai Jianguo walked to the table, picked up several manuscripts and read them carefully. "I have participated in the planning of some large projects and I know the difficulty of an original plan. The ideas in these manuscripts are clear, the logic is rigorous, and the data is detailed. It is impossible to forge them in a short time. I believe that this plan is the painstaking work of Miss Dai."

Dai Jianguo's statement was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Some family members who were originally wavering began to re-examine Dai Shiya and her proposal.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Dai Shiya felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. She looked at Dai Jianguo gratefully, "Uncle Jianguo, thank you for believing in me."

"I believe you because you are trustworthy." Dai Jianguo patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I will do my best to tell everyone the truth."

Dai Jianguo began to explain the value and feasibility of this plan to other family members. His tone was sincere and firm. Gradually, the doubts became fewer and fewer, and were replaced by praise and expectations.

However, when Dai Shiya saw Dai Qiang's gloomy face, he did not completely relax. He knew that this was far from enough... because he saw Dai Qiang exchange a look with Mr. Dai in the crowd, and that look clearly indicated some ominous omen...

Dai Jianguo's support undoubtedly gave Dai Shiya a shot in the arm, and the atmosphere in the conference room also obviously eased. But she knew that this was only a temporary calm. The eye contact between Dai Qiang and Mr. Dai was like a thorn in her heart, making her unable to really relax. The power transfer ceremony was imminent, and she had to completely reverse the situation before then and make Dai Qiang's conspiracy public. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would be in vain, and she might even lose her qualification as the heir.

After the meeting, Dai Shiya immediately found Wei Qing and told her everything that happened during the meeting and her worries. "Qingqing, Dai Qiang will definitely not give up. I'm worried that he will do something desperate." Dai Shiya frowned, and her anxiety was evident in her words.

Wei Qing calmly analyzed: "Shiya, you did a good job. At least you have stabilized the situation temporarily. Dai Jianguo's support is crucial. He is highly respected and influential in the family. Next, we must find more evidence of Dai Qiang's crimes before we can completely defeat him."

"But we have no clue now. Dai Qiang has always been cautious in doing things, and it is difficult to catch him." Dai Shiya was a little frustrated. She felt like she was walking in a fog and couldn't find the direction.

Wei Qing patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be discouraged, there will always be a way. Since Dai Jianguo chose to support you, it means that he must have some information. We might as well start with him."

Dai Shiya's eyes lit up, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that! Uncle Jianguo might know something."

So, Dai Shiya immediately contacted Dai Jianguo and expressed her wish to consult him in person again. Dai Jianguo readily agreed and asked her to meet him in the family study.

In the study, antique furniture exudes a calm atmosphere. Dai Jianguo sits upright with a cup of tea in his hand. Seeing Dai Shiya come in, he puts down the cup and motions her to sit down.

"Uncle Jianguo, thank you for your righteous words at the meeting today." Dai Shiya said gratefully.

Dai Jianguo waved his hand and said, "I am just telling the truth. Your plan is indeed very visionary. I believe you can lead the family to a better future."

"But, Dai Qiang..." Dai Shiya hesitated to speak. She didn't know how to ask about Dai Qiang.

Dai Jianguo seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Shiya, I know what you are worried about. Dai Qiang has been forming cliques and factions in the family over the years, and has indeed done a lot of shameful things."

Dai Shiya was shocked. She didn't expect Dai Jianguo to point out Dai Qiang's crimes so bluntly. She held her breath and waited for Dai Jianguo to continue.

Dai Jianguo paused, took out a file bag from the drawer, and handed it to Dai Shiya, "There is some information in it, maybe it can help you."

Dai Shiya took the file bag, her heartbeat quickened, she had a feeling that it contained important information. She slowly opened the file bag, pulled out the document inside, and a striking title caught her eye... "Details of Dai Qiang's embezzlement of family funds."
