After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

At the cocktail party after the summit, Yan Jin seemed to be out of the loop. Assistant Chen's words lingered in her ears, like a thunderbolt, pulling her back to reality from her brief shock.

"What's going on?" Yan Jin tried hard to suppress his inner anxiety, but he couldn't hide the worry between his brows.

Assistant Chen said hurriedly, "For the project in the south of the city, the partner suddenly withdrew the investment, the capital chain was broken, and now the construction period has been stalled. If it is delayed any further, the penalty for breach of contract..."

Yan Jin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "I understand. Please contact the partner first and find out the situation. I will go back and handle it right away."

Xiang Yu watched Yan Jin's hurriedly leaving back, his eyes darkened. "What happened?"

"It seems that something went wrong with Yan's company," PR Zhou said in a low voice, "I just got the news that there was a problem with the Chengnan project."

Xiang Yu frowned, picked up his coat and walked away without any hesitation.

Yan Jin sat at her desk, with documents scattered all over the floor, but she paid no attention to them. The Chengnan project was one of her most important projects this year, and she had invested a lot of effort in it. But now it was in trouble due to funding issues, which was undoubtedly a blow to her.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

There was a knock on the door, and Yan Jin rubbed his brows tiredly, "Come in."

Xiang Yu pushed the door open and saw Yan Jin's haggard look. His heart tightened and he asked with some concern, "I heard something happened in the company?"

Yan Jin looked up at him and said calmly, "Don't worry about the company's affairs."

Xiang Yu walked up to her and said firmly, "Jin'er, I know you don't want to see me now, but this matter concerns the survival of the company. Let me help you."

Yan Jin sneered, "Boss Xiang, are you planning to give me charity? Even if my company goes bankrupt, I, Yan Jin, will..."

"It's not charity, it's cooperation." Xiang Yu interrupted her and put a document in front of her. "This is an investment agreement I drafted. If you need it, I can inject capital unconditionally to help you through the difficulties."

Yan Jin looked at the documents on the table, and her heart was filled with emotion. He was actually willing to...

Yan Jin looked at the documents on the table, and her heart was filled with emotion. He was actually willing to... support her without reservation? In the past, he ignored her efforts and disdained her career, but now, he took the initiative to help. This change was beyond her expectations.

"Why?" Yan Jin's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't believe that all this was true.

Xiang Yu stared at her with deep eyes, and said sincerely and firmly, "Because I believe in you and I believe in this project."

This short sentence was like a warm current that slowly flowed into Yan Jin's heart. She once longed for recognition from him, but was disappointed time and time again. Now, he finally saw her efforts and her value.

"But..." Yan Jin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu.

"No buts, Jin'er. I know you have a lot of concerns in your heart right now, but I hope you can understand that I am sincere to you. I want to make up for my past mistakes and want to face the ups and downs with you."

Xiang Yu's words were so sincere and earnest that Yan Jin could not refuse. She knew that accepting his help would mean a subtle change in the relationship between the two of them, but she had no time to think about it now. The company's crisis was imminent and she had to make a choice.

Assistant Chen stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two. She used to be full of hostility towards Xiang Yu, thinking that he was just a rich boy who played with feelings, but today, she saw a different Xiang Yu, a man who was willing to give everything for love.

"Boss Yan," Assistant Chen said courageously, "I think Boss Xiang is sincere. You..."

"I understand," Yan Jin interrupted her, took a deep breath, and looked at Xiang Yu, "I will sign this agreement."

Hearing Yan Jin's answer, Xiang Yu smiled with relief. He knew that this was just the beginning of breaking the ice between the two of them, and there was still a long way to go, but he was confident that he would use practical actions to prove that his love for her was not a whim, but would last until death.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Xiang Yu extended his hand and looked at Yan Jin with burning eyes.

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and gently held his hand.

“Knock, knock, knock—” There was a knock on the office door, and Partner Li appeared at the door. He looked back and forth between Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, with a meaningful smile on his face…

Partner Li's arrival broke the brief silence in the office. He smiled and looked at the two people holding hands, and joked: "It seems that I came at the wrong time and disturbed the two of you talking about love."

Yan Jin pulled back her hand as if she had received an electric shock, her ears slightly reddened, but she was unable to refute Partner Li's words. Xiang Yu smiled calmly and introduced Partner Li: "Boss Li, Boss Yan and I have just agreed on the details of the cooperation, and we will be partners from now on."

"I've heard that Mr. Xiang is very generous, and today I see that his reputation is well-deserved." Partner Li said with a hearty smile, "However, I believe that with Mr. Yan's ability and the potential of this project, it will definitely be successful even without Mr. Xiang's help."

"Mr. Li, thank you for your compliment," Yan Jin said modestly, "Thanks to Mr. Xiang's trust and support, I was able to overcome the difficulties this time. I will always remember this friendship."

"Haha, we're all family, it's a bit awkward to say that." Partner Li waved his hand, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, "I think it's getting late, why don't we find a place to eat and chat?"

Yan Jin wanted to refuse, but thinking that Partner Li was an important partner of the company, she nodded and agreed. The three of them came to an elegant restaurant and talked about the details of the project cooperation while eating. During the meal, Partner Li praised Xiang Yu's business vision and decision-making ability, and believed that this cooperation was a win-win situation.

After three rounds of drinking, partner Li left the table on the pretext of something, leaving the space for Xiang Yu and Yan Jin. The atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment, and neither of them spoke, but just tasted the red wine in the glass silently.

"Jin'er..." Xiang Yu put down his wine glass and stared at Yan Jin with deep eyes. "I know that nothing I say now can make up for the hurt I have caused you, but I hope you can give me a chance to prove that I am sincere to you."

Yan Jin avoided his gaze and said calmly, "Xiang Yu, we are divorced. Let the past be the past."

"No, Jin'er, my feelings for you have never changed." Xiang Yu stood up suddenly, walked to Yan Jin, put his hands on the table, and hugged her in his arms. "After the divorce, I realized that I can't live without you. You are like air, omnipresent, but indispensable."

Yan Jin's heart trembled slightly. The feelings that had been suppressed in her heart burst out like a flood. She raised her head, looked directly into Xiang Yu's eyes, and said word by word: "Xiang Yu, I admit that my feelings for you have not completely disappeared, but..."

"But what?" Xiang Yu asked anxiously, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and said with a firm look: "But I need time, time to heal the pain of the past, time to re-examine the relationship between us..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared at the door...

"But I need time, time to heal the pain of the past, time to re-examine the relationship between us..." Before Yan Jin finished her words, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and Assistant Chen appeared at the door in a panic, his face full of anxiety that could not be concealed.

Seeing Assistant Chen coming, Yan Jin's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She calmed down, turned to look at Assistant Chen, and asked calmly, "What happened?"

Assistant Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm his panic, and quickly said, "Boss Yan, something has happened to the company! Our competitors got the core data of our new product from somewhere, and maliciously spread rumors that our product has serious safety risks. Now the public opinion online is one-sided, and many partners have called to request to terminate the contract..."

Assistant Chen's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hope that had just ignited in Yan Jin's heart, and instantly bringing the originally ambiguous atmosphere to a freezing point. She stood up suddenly, her face pale, and the wine glass in her hand slipped to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound, which seemed to foreshadow something.

"Jin'er, don't worry, I will take care of this matter." Xiang Yu also stood up, holding Yan Jin's shoulders, and said firmly. He knew what this matter meant to Yan Jin and her company, and he also understood what she needed most at this moment.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She gently pushed Xiang Yu's hand away and said firmly, "I'm fine. I'll take care of this matter." After that, she turned to look at Assistant Chen and ordered in a decisive tone, "Convene an emergency meeting of the company's top management immediately. In addition, contact the public relations department and ask them to control public opinion in the shortest possible time."

"Yes, Mr. Yan." Assistant Chen took the order and left.

Yan Jin turned to look at Xiang Yu and said calmly, "I'm sorry, there's an emergency at the company and I have to go back and deal with it right away."

Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin, his eyes full of heartache and worry. He reached out to hold her hand, but she gently dodged him.

"Xiang Yu, thank you for your kindness today, but now, I really don't feel like talking about this." Yan Jin avoided his gaze and said in a cold tone, "Let's talk about our affairs later."

After saying that, Yan Jin left the box without looking back, leaving Xiang Yu standing there alone, looking at her back with a complicated look in his eyes.

He knew that this sudden crisis cast a shadow on their newly eased relationship.

"Mr. Xiang, what should we do now?" Public Relations Officer Zhou hurried over and asked anxiously.

Xiang Yu retracted his gaze, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a cold tone: "Since they want to play, then we will play with them to the end!"
