Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

New York, the storm at the negotiation table

In Manhattan, New York, the high-rise buildings are shining coldly in the sun, as if they are giants overlooking this city full of opportunities and challenges. In the conference room of a top law firm, the atmosphere is as solemn as the calm before the storm. Jiang Ciyou is wearing a well-cut black suit and skirt. The slim style outlines her slender but tough figure, and her neat short hair highlights the courage and wisdom in her eyes. At this moment, she is sitting at one end of the conference table, opposite a team of business giants from Europe, and the two sides are engaged in a fierce confrontation over a cross-border merger and acquisition case.

The conference table was covered with all kinds of documents, and the dense data and clauses flashed under the lights, as if it was a silent contest. Jiang Ciyou's team members were all focused, writing down key information in their notebooks with pens in their hands, and occasionally whispering a few words. The European giants were not to be outdone, they spoke sharply and raised sharp questions one after another, trying to gain the upper hand in this negotiation.

Jiang Ciyou raised her chin slightly and looked at the people opposite her with a firm gaze. Her voice was steady and powerful, and she explained her own advantages and acquisition plan in a clear and logical manner. Each point of view was like a well-fired bullet, hitting the point directly. However, the negotiation process was not smooth sailing. The two sides were in a deadlock on core interests and refused to give in to each other. The atmosphere became increasingly tense, as if the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The daughter's call broke the deadlock

At this tense moment, Jiang Ciyou's phone on the table suddenly vibrated, and the screen lit up, showing that it was a call from her daughter Xingchen. She frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. At such a critical moment, her daughter would not call easily. After hesitating for a moment, she quickly picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Mom..." Xingchen's crying voice came from the other end of the phone, and Jiang Ciyou's heart tightened instantly, "My goldfish, it...it's dead." Xingchen's words were full of sadness and helplessness. Jiang Ciyou seemed to see her daughter's tears at this moment.

Everyone in the conference room cast strange looks at her. Several executives of the other party raised their eyebrows slightly, as if they were dissatisfied with Jiang Ciyou's behavior of answering the phone at this time. Jiang Ciyou didn't care about these looks at all. Her eyes instantly became extremely gentle, and she whispered to the phone: "Baby, don't worry, mom is here. Don't cry first, tell mom what's going on."

Xingchen sobbed as she recounted the story. It turned out that she woke up in the morning and found her beloved goldfish floating on the surface of the fish tank, motionless. This sudden change made her very sad. Jiang Ciyou listened patiently and comforted her softly: "My dear child, this is not your fault. The goldfish may be too tired and went to a better place. Let's hold a small funeral for it and send it off for the last time, okay?"

With Jiang Ciyou's gentle comfort, Xingchen's emotions gradually calmed down. She followed her mother's instructions, carefully picked up the goldfish, and placed it on a tender green leaf. Jiang Ciyou watched her daughter's busy and tender figure through the video, her eyes full of love. She gently instructed Xingchen: "Find a beautiful little box, put the goldfish in it, and then dig a small hole in the garden, we will bury it there and let it return to nature."

Xingchen nodded seriously and did what her mother said. Seeing her daughter gradually becoming stronger, Jiang Ciyou smiled with satisfaction. At this moment, the conference room was silent, and everyone was watching this scene quietly. The opponents' originally dissatisfied expressions gradually changed, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, as if they did not expect that Jiang Ciyou, who was so strong in the business world, was such a gentle mother in private.

Lu Jingchen's surprise resolves the crisis

The negotiations were forced to be interrupted. Jiang Ciyou knew that she had to solve her daughter's emotional problems as soon as possible. She focused on accompanying Xingchen to complete the "funeral" of the goldfish until her daughter's face bloomed with a smile again. She hung up the video with peace of mind. Back at the negotiation table, Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath and prepared to face the possible attack from the opponent.

However, what she didn't expect was that the attitude of the CEO of the other party had changed subtly. This European gentleman, who was always known for his strictness and rigidity, cleared his throat slightly and said, "Mrs. Lu, I must admit that I admire your actions just now. In such an important business negotiation, you can put everything aside without hesitation and care about your daughter's little emotions. This is extremely rare in the business world. You are vigorous and resolute in business wars, but so soft in private. This makes me see a more three-dimensional side of you as a leader."

Jiang Ciyou was slightly stunned, then smiled sincerely and responded: "Thank you for your understanding. In my opinion, career is important, but family is always what I cherish most."

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and everyone's eyes were cast towards the door. Lu Jingchen strode in. He was wearing a dark blue custom-made suit, which made him look as tall and straight as a pine tree. There was a confident smile on his handsome face, and he was holding an exquisite box in his hand.

Jiang Ciyou's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Lu Jingchen to appear at this time. Lu Jingchen walked straight to Jiang Ciyou, gently held her hand, gave her a reassuring look, then turned to face the crowd and spoke elegantly: "I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm Lu Jingchen, Jiang Ciyou's husband. I know that today's negotiation is very important to everyone. I just heard that the little episode delayed some time. I hope that I can bring you a small surprise next to make up for this regret."

As he said this, he placed the box in his hand on the conference table and opened it. Inside was an advanced AR device. Lu Jingchen operated it skillfully. After a while, the lights in the conference room gradually dimmed, and a dreamlike underwater scene was projected on the surrounding walls. Colorful coral reefs, swaying seaweed, and schools of tropical fish swimming around seemed to bring everyone into a mysterious underwater world in an instant.

And in the center of the conference table, where the fish tank originally contained the goldfish, the goldfish was "resurrected" through AR technology. It swam happily, its scales sparkling under the virtual light, blending in with the surrounding underwater scene, and looking lifelike.

Xingchen's laughter came from the speakers of the AR device: "Mom, look, the goldfish is alive again!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh at this magical scene. The originally tense atmosphere in the conference room was swept away, replaced by relaxation and joy.

Lu Jingchen walked to Jiang Ciyou, gently put his arms around her shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "I know you are doing your best for this negotiation, and you don't want to make Xingchen sad, so I thought of this idea, I hope it can help you." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were full of emotion, she leaned gently in Lu Jingchen's arms, her heart full of warmth.

In this warm atmosphere, the negotiations resumed. Perhaps moved by Lu Jingchen's intentions and Jiang Ciyou's sincerity, the other party's attitude was obviously much more relaxed, and both sides began to re-examine each other's plans and look for the possibility of a win-win situation. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, at the negotiation table in this foreign country, worked hand in hand towards their goal. Their love and tacit understanding, like the light in this underwater world, penetrated many difficulties and illuminated the way forward.

As the discussion deepened, one problem after another was gradually overcome, and the two sides finally reached an agreement on the key terms. When the pen fell and the cross-border M&A agreement was finalized, warm applause rang out in the conference room. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen looked at each other, their eyes full of relief and pride. They knew that this was not only a commercial victory, but also a testimony to their common growth after going through countless hardships together.

Walking out of the law firm, the New York sunshine shines on her body, which is particularly warm. Jiang Ciyou holds Lu Jingchen's arm, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. Recalling the hardships along the way, the betrayals and hardships she once experienced have all turned into the strength to move forward firmly. And Lu Jingchen has always been by her side. Whether in the trivialities of life or in the battlefield of business, he is her most solid support.

"Thank you, Jingchen. Without you, today's negotiations would not have been so smooth." Jiang Ciyou said softly.

Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly and responded with a smile: "We are husband and wife, we should support each other. Your dream is my dream. Seeing you shine in the business world, I am proud of you. Besides, Xingchen also needs us to protect her little world together, doesn't she?"

Jiang Ciyou smiled knowingly, and the two of them walked towards the future with firm steps in the sunshine. They knew that there might be more challenges waiting for them ahead, but as long as they joined hands with each other, nothing could stop them from pursuing happiness and success. And this cross-border merger and acquisition case will become another shining pearl in their life, witnessing their love and growth, shining brightly in the passage of time.

Back at the hotel, Jiang Ciyou sat in front of the window, looking at the bustling New York night scene outside the window, her thoughts drifting back to the past. She had been betrayed on her wedding night and thought the world had collapsed. It was the appearance of Lu Jingchen that was like a beam of light shining into her dark life. From initially using him to avenge her ex-husband to later falling in love unknowingly, they had experienced too much together along the way.

Lu Jingchen came over with two cups of steaming coffee, sat next to her, and handed her a cup of coffee. "What are you thinking about?" he asked softly.

Jiang Ciyou took the coffee, took a sip, and smiled: "I was thinking, our journey has not been easy. From that miserable night to now standing on a high-rise building in New York and signing such an important agreement, it feels like a dream."

Lu Jingchen gently put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer: "But this is a beautiful dream we created together, and it will become more and more beautiful. In the future, we will have more places to go together and more things to do together, for our home and for the stars."

Jiang Ciyou leaned in his arms and nodded: "Yes, for our home." At this moment, the neon lights outside the window were flickering, and the hustle and bustle of the city seemed to have become the background music of their happiness. In this night in a foreign country, their hearts were closely dependent on each other, looking forward to every beautiful moment in the future.

The next morning, the sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto the bed. Jiang Ciyou woke up and saw Lu Jingchen still sleeping beside her. His sleeping face was as innocent as a child. She got up gently, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and let the sun fill the room. Looking at the gradually busy streets of New York outside the window, she was full of energy.

Today, there are new challenges waiting for them. There are many things to do in the integration after the merger, but Jiang Ciyou is not afraid. She knows that with Lu Jingchen by her side, they can overcome any difficulties together. Recalling everything at the negotiation table yesterday, her daughter's dependence and her husband's support, these are the source of her motivation to move forward.

Lu Jingchen woke up, walked behind her, and hugged her waist: "Good morning, today is another energetic day."

Jiang Ciyou turned around and kissed him lightly on the lips: "Good morning, let's cheer together."

After washing up, the two of them went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast. The restaurant was filled with the aroma of food, and people were talking quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen discussed today's work plan while eating, their eyes were full of determination and concentration, as if the whole world was under their control.

After breakfast, they left the hotel and headed for the newly acquired company. Along the way, the streets and alleys of New York were full of the breath of life, and people of different skin colors passed by. This city embraced all dreams and struggles. Jiang Ciyou looked out the car window, his heart full of infinite reverie about his future life and career.

After arriving at the company, they were greeted by the slightly nervous but expectant eyes of the new team members. Jiang Ciyou stepped forward, smiled, and said in a confident and friendly voice: "Hello everyone, from today on, we are a family. I believe that with our joint efforts, this company will usher in a new glory." Her words were like a spring breeze that blew away the anxiety in everyone's hearts, and warm applause rang out in the conference room.
