After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Chapter 207 Staying together through thick and thin

Xiang Yu walked quickly to the terrace outside the banquet hall. The late autumn night wind was mixed with a hint of chill, but it could not cool his anxious mood at the moment. Zhao Peng's words were like a fog, making him unable to see the road ahead.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yan Jin's voice came from behind, with a hint of worry.

Xiang Yu turned around and looked at the familiar face in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. He wanted to tell her everything, but was afraid of causing trouble for her. "Nothing, just a small matter at the company, I'll take care of it."

Yan Jin frowned slightly, obviously not believing his words, but she did not ask any further questions, and just said lightly: "Don't work too hard."

Xiang Yu nodded and watched her turn around and walk back to the banquet hall. Then he took out his cell phone and called his assistant: "Please help me check if there are any abnormal situations in the company recently, especially the projects with Mr. Williams."

After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his brows in annoyance. The cooperation project had been going smoothly, so how could there be a problem suddenly? Was it really Zhao Peng who was behind this?

Time passed by, and the feeling of uneasiness entangled Xiang Yu like a vine. Finally, the assistant called back: "Mr. Xiang, we found that there were some technical failures in the cooperation project recently, which caused the progress to be delayed. The technical department is stepping up to investigate the cause."

Technical failure? Xiang Yu's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition came to his mind. He immediately contacted the project leader and asked for details.

At the same time, Yan Jin also learned about the project's problems from marketing consultant Amy. "I've checked, these technical problems didn't happen by chance," Amy lowered her voice, her expression solemn, "someone is behind this, deliberately trying to sabotage this cooperation."

"What?" Yan Jin's face changed. "Did you find out who did it?"

“It’s not clear yet,” Amy shook her head, “but I suspect…” She paused, leaned close to Yan Jin’s ear, and whispered a name.

Yan Jin's pupils suddenly shrank when she heard this, and a terrible thought flashed through her mind... The noise of the banquet hall seemed to be isolated outside. Yan Jin stood alone on the terrace, the night wind blowing her hair in front of her forehead, but it couldn't blow away the haze in her heart. Amy's words echoed in her ears, and every word was like a sharp stone, hitting her heart hard.

"Impossible..." She murmured to herself, trying to convince herself, but was swallowed by the uneasiness in her heart. If it was really that person, then this cooperation project would be in jeopardy.

"What are you talking about?" Xiang Yu's voice came from behind, interrupting her thoughts.

Yan Jin took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and turned to look at him: "Amy told me that the problems with the project might be man-made, and..."

She paused, but decided to tell him her suspicion: "She suspected that Jack was behind it."

"Jack?" Xiang Yu frowned, obviously familiar with the name. "Why is it him? Why did he do this?"

Jack is one of their overseas partners. He has always been very positive and there seems to be nothing unusual about him.

"I'm not sure either, but this is just our guess," Yan Jin shook his head, "The most urgent task is to solve the problem and recover the losses."

"You are right," Xiang Yu nodded in agreement, "I will contact Mr. Williams as soon as possible and explain it to him in person."

However, things did not go as smoothly as they expected. Mr. Williams was full of doubts about their explanation, revealing disappointment and distrust in his words.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang, Ms. Yan," Mr. Williams said in a cold tone during the video conference. "This incident has caused us to question your company's capabilities. I need to re-evaluate the risks of this cooperation."

"Mr. Williams, please believe us. We will find out the truth of the matter and give you a satisfactory answer," Xiang Yu said sincerely, hoping to regain the other party's trust.

“I hope so,” Mr. Williams responded coolly, ending the video conference.

"Damn it!" Xiang Yu slammed his fist on the table, and the documents were scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, Yan Jin walked forward and gently held his hand, saying softly: "Don't be discouraged, things are not irreversible yet. I will continue to investigate and try to find evidence as soon as possible to prove our innocence."

"No, I want to go to the United States in person," Xiang Yu said with a firm look, "and explain it to Mr. Williams in person. I believe he will understand us."

"But..." Yan Jin wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu, "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

The next day, Xiang Yu boarded a flight to the United States with his assistant. The moment the plane took off, he looked out the window at the gradually shrinking city, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness. He knew that this was a difficult battle, but he had to win, for the company and for...

Williams Corporation headquarters, USA.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang, it's not convenient for Mr. Williams to see you now." The secretary politely rejected Xiang Yu's request for a meeting.

Xiang Yu did not give up. He handed over his business card and said firmly, "Please tell Mr. Williams that I have something very important to discuss with him. It concerns the future of our two companies."

The secretary hesitated for a moment, but finally took the business card and turned into the office.

Time passed minute by minute, Xiang Yu waited anxiously, the corridor was so quiet that only his own breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, the office door opened, and the secretary came out, made a "please" gesture to him, and said respectfully: "Mr. Williams, please come in."

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and walked into the office with steady steps. He knew that this would be a tough battle...

"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm sorry to bother you during your busy schedule." Xiang Yu nodded slightly and said sincerely.

Mr. Williams sat behind his large desk, looking at him expressionlessly and saying nothing.

The atmosphere was heavy and depressing, like the calm before a storm... "Mr. Williams, I know this incident has made you suspicious of our company, but I can guarantee with the reputation of the Xiang family that we have never done anything to harm our cooperation." Xiang Yu looked frank, his tone sincere and firm, "I have already started an investigation before I came here, and I believe I will soon find the mastermind behind this and give you a satisfactory explanation."

Mr. Williams looked at Xiang Yu in silence, his sharp eyes seemed to see through him. After a long time, he slowly spoke, with a barely perceptible relaxation in his tone: "Mr. Xiang, I hope you will do what you said. You know, trust is the basis of cooperation, and the impact of this incident is very bad..."

Xiang Yu seized the opportunity to tell Mr. Williams in detail about his and Yan Jin's findings and speculations, and showed them their efforts to recover the losses. Mr. Williams listened carefully, his brows gradually relaxed, and he obviously had a new understanding of Xiang Yu's honesty and ability.

"Mr. Williams, I believe that those who are innocent will be cleared. We will definitely find out the truth and clear ourselves of all charges." Xiang Yu said in a firm tone, his eyes full of confidence.

Finally, Mr. Williams was moved by Xiang Yu's sincerity and determination, decided to give them a chance, and expressed his willingness to deal with the crisis with them. The two sides rebuilt their trust and began to jointly investigate the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

After a thorough investigation, they targeted a man named Smith, a department manager of Williams Company, who seemed honest on the surface, but was actually ambitious and had always coveted a higher position.

"Why did Smith do this?" Xiang Yu looked at the information in his hand with a frown.

"According to our investigation, Smith has been contacting other competitors privately, trying to take over Williams' project for himself." Yan Jin analyzed calmly, "This incident is likely an obstacle he deliberately created to prevent our cooperation with Williams."

The truth came out, Smith finally admitted his crime and was fired by Williams. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin joined forces to crush the conspiracy, successfully resolved the crisis of trust, and the cooperation project was able to proceed smoothly.

Just when they thought everything had been resolved and they could breathe a sigh of relief, Mr. Williams' assistant suddenly called, his tone anxious and panicked: "Mr. Xiang, it's bad, Mr. Williams..."

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, leaving only an uncomfortable silence...

"What's wrong with Mr. Williams? Amy, take your time!" Xiang Yu's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

On the other end of the phone, Amy spoke in a hurried tone, with a hint of tears in her voice: "Mr. Williams, he...he had a sudden heart attack and is now in the hospital for emergency treatment! The doctor said the situation is not optimistic..."

Upon hearing the news, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin were stunned. They had never expected that things would suddenly turn out like this. Mr. Williams, who was chatting and laughing with them just a second ago, was now lying on the hospital bed with his life or death uncertain.

"We'll be there right away!" Xiang Yu made a prompt decision. After hanging up the phone, he immediately booked the fastest flight to the city where Mr. Williams was.

Yan Jin also understood the seriousness of the matter. She quickly arranged her domestic affairs and boarded a flight to a foreign country with Xiang Yu.

After more than ten hours of flight, they finally arrived at the hospital. Led by Amy, they met Mr. Williams' attending physician.

"Doctor, how is Mr. Williams?" Xiang Yu asked anxiously.

The doctor took off his mask and said solemnly: "Mr. Williams was already in a critical condition when he was brought here. We have tried our best to save him, but..."

"But what?" Yan Jin's heart was in his throat.

"But his heart has been severely failing. Whether he can survive depends on his own willpower..." The doctor sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin looked at each other, and a shadow fell on their hearts. They didn't expect that the crisis that they thought had been resolved would be deadlocked again because of Mr. Williams' sudden illness.

What worries them even more is that the Williams family is not at peace. Mr. Williams has no sons, only a nephew Jack. Jack has always been dissatisfied with his uncle's control of the company. Mr. Williams's illness has undoubtedly given him an opportunity to fight for power.

As expected, while Mr. Williams was in the hospital, Jack, as the company's agent, announced the suspension of the cooperation project with Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's company and began to re-evaluate the feasibility of the cooperation.

When the news came, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's company was in an uproar. They had put a lot of effort into this project, and it was about to succeed, but it encountered such a change. Everyone found it hard to accept.

"Mr. Xiang, what should we do now? It's obvious that Jack wants to destroy the bridge after crossing it. We can't just sit there and wait for death!" the marketing director said anxiously.

Xiang Yu's face was solemn. He knew that a bigger storm was coming... He took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "Notify everyone to hold an emergency meeting!"
