After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Xiang Yu frowned, staring at the phone screen with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to pierce it. The voice on the other end of the phone was low and strange, but with a chilling sense of familiarity. Who is it? Who is behind all this? "What do you want?" Xiang Yu's voice was cold and emotionless. The other party chuckled, his tone full of teasing, "You will know soon."

At the same time, the atmosphere in Yan Jin's conference room was completely different. In the spacious and bright conference room, the projector projected a clear listing plan. Yan Jin stood in front of the conference table, his eyes swept over every company executive present, and said in a firm tone: "Listing is an important step in the development of our company and a key step in our internationalization. I believe that as long as we work together, we will succeed!"

Warm applause rang out in the conference room, and everyone's face was filled with confidence and expectation. Yan Jin pressed the remote control in her hand, and the screen showed the specific arrangements for the preparations for the listing. Financial audits, legal consultations, prospectus writing... Every link is crucial and cannot be sloppy.

"Boss Zhou, the financial audit is now in your hands." Yan Jin looked at Boss Wang, the financial director, who was sitting on the left. Boss Wang nodded seriously, "Boss Yan, rest assured. We will fully cooperate with Auditor Zhou."

Auditor Zhou is an experienced certified public accountant. He adjusted his glasses and said in a serious tone: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the listing, we need to conduct a detailed review of your company's financial statements for the past three years and evaluate the company's internal control system..."

Before Auditor Zhou finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Xiang Yu walked in with a solemn expression. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became subtle. Xiang Yu walked straight to Yan Jin and whispered a few words in her ear. Yan Jin's face changed slightly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said to everyone: "Sorry, I have something urgent to do and need to go out for a while. The meeting continues."

After that, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked out of the conference room one after another. On the conference table behind them, the plan for the company's listing seemed to foreshadow the coming of a storm... Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked out of the conference room one after another, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if the air had become thinner. Yan Jin stopped and turned to look at Xiang Yu, with a hint of inquiry and worry in his eyes: "What happened?"

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and handed the phone to Yan Jin. An anonymous email appeared on the screen. The content was brief but every word was sharp: "Want to go public? Dream on! I have revealed all your details to the exchange. Just wait for the investigation!"

Yan Jin looked serious after reading the email. She knew that this email was not a false threat. The other party was clearly well prepared and knew their listing plan very well. Who was behind this? Was it malicious competition from a business rival, or...

"Don't worry, I will check it out." Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand, trying to give her strength, "The listing plan continues, and we can't lose our composure."

Yan Jin nodded, quickly calmed down, with a determined light in his eyes, "Well, we can't be affected by these things. How is Lawyer Wu doing?"

"I have communicated with him. He is preparing the first draft of the prospectus and needs us to provide detailed information on the company's business model, market prospects, risk factors, etc." Xiang Yu reported concisely.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Yan Jin immediately convened the company's core team, assigned the task of collecting and organizing the information, and personally led the team to work overtime.

The lights in the office were on all night, the printer kept spitting out paper, Yan Jin and the team members were buried in the pile of documents, everyone was on edge, not daring to slack off. The prospectus is the stepping stone for the company to go public, and it must be perfect. Any small mistake may lead to the failure of the listing plan.

Lawyer Wu carefully studied the information provided by Yan Jin, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes quickly typing on the keyboard, listing the company's advantages and risks one by one, trying to present them to investors in the most accurate language. He knew very well that this prospectus not only concerned the company's future, but also his reputation as a lawyer.

Time is tight and the pressure is huge, but none of Yan Jin and her team complained. They knew that going public was not only an opportunity for the company to grow, but also the best reward for their hard work over the years.

A few days later, a detailed, logically clear, and beautifully bound prospectus was placed on Yan Jin's desk. She carefully flipped through each page with a gratified smile on her face.

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knock on the office door and the secretary walked in. "Mr. Yan, an official from the Zhengzhou Stock Exchange called and said they want to make an appointment with you to discuss your company's listing application in person..."

Yan Jin suppressed her inner excitement and said calmly, "Please transfer me to Officer Zheng."

After the call was connected and Yan Jin greeted him politely, Officer Zheng got straight to the point and said, "Hello, Mr. Yan. I have carefully read your company's prospectus and the overall situation is very good. However, we also noticed that there are still some areas that need to be improved in your company's governance structure and internal control."

Official Zheng's tone was neither hurried nor slow, but Yan Jin's heart tightened. She knew very well that the exchange had extremely strict requirements for the governance structure and internal control of listed companies, and any flaws could become a stumbling block to listing.

"Officer Zheng, what specific aspects are you referring to?" Yan Jin asked cautiously.

"For example, is the independence of your company's board members fully guaranteed? Does the establishment and operation of the internal audit department comply with regulatory requirements? These issues require further explanation and improvement." Official Zheng's tone became serious.

Yan Jin listened carefully and quickly wrote down the questions raised by Zheng. She realized that these problems were not insurmountable, but the company needed to adjust and improve them in a short period of time, which was undoubtedly a huge challenge for them who were in the sprint stage of listing.

At the same time, Financial Director Wang was having an intense conversation with Auditor Zhou. Auditor Zhou pointed to a data point on the audit report and said with a frown, "Mr. Wang, according to our audit procedures, we found that your company has some potential risks in related transactions. We need you to provide more detailed information and explanations."

Financial Director Wang's face also became solemn. He knew that related-party transactions have always been a key focus of listing audits, and any carelessness could lead to doubts from regulatory agencies. He calmed down and said in a steady tone, "Auditor Zhou, please specify which transactions are in doubt. We will fully cooperate with your work."

As night fell and the lights came on, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually calmed down, but Yan Jin's company was still brightly lit. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu sat side by side on the sofa in the office, with documents piled on the coffee table in front of them. Both of them looked exhausted, but their eyes still showed a determined light.

"It seems that the road to listing is more difficult than we thought." Xiang Yu broke the silence with a hint of heaviness in his tone.

Yan Jin sighed softly, put down the documents in his hand, and looked at Xiang Yu firmly, "No matter what, we must go all out and not let everyone's efforts go to waste."

She paused, her eyes fell on the documents in front of her, and her tone became serious, "The most important thing now is to solve the problems raised by the exchange and auditors as soon as possible..."

"The independence of board members is indeed a problem..." Xiang Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said thoughtfully, "We can consider introducing a few independent directors to enhance the professionalism and objectivity of the board of directors."

"I have already contacted several respected experts in the industry," Yan Jin flipped through the information in his hand, "and will try to finalize the candidate before next week."

"The issue of related-party transactions must also be resolved as soon as possible," Xiang Yu frowned slightly, "What did Director Wang say?"

"I have asked the Finance Department to sort out all the contracts and vouchers for related transactions," Yan Jin said firmly, "Tomorrow morning, Director Wang and I will explain everything in detail to Auditor Zhou to ensure that every transaction is legal and compliant."

The two worked in the office until late at night, with a single lamp illuminating their tired but resolute faces. Finally, all the problems had preliminary solutions, and the prospectus had been revised, waiting to be submitted to the exchange tomorrow morning.

Yan Jin closed the file, breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his sore shoulders, and a tired smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief."

However, before they could relax, Xiang Yu's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face instantly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" Yan Jin was keenly aware of his mood changes.

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "It was Director Wang, he said..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of the office was flung open, and Director Wang rushed in with a pale face and a panicked look, "Boss Xiang, Boss Yan, this is bad! Something big has happened..."
