After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

"Let him in." Yan Jin said lightly, but her eyes were still on the photo. Her fingertips gently stroked Xiang Yu's face in the photo, and her eyes were complicated and difficult to read.

Xiang Yu walked into the office, wearing a well-tailored suit, which made him look even more handsome and tall. However, the lingering fatigue between his eyebrows revealed his recent mood.

"Regarding the award ceremony, do you want to attend it together?" He walked to the desk with a barely perceptible tentativeness in his tone.

Yan Jin turned the photo upside down on the table, raised her head, and said calmly, "Of course, this is an honor that belongs to everyone in the company."

On the day of the award ceremony, Yan Jin wore a silver dress, elegant and noble, while Xiang Yu chose a black suit. The two of them stood together, still a match made in heaven in everyone's eyes. However, now there was an invisible gap between them.

The lights on the stage were bright, and a promotional video of the company's new product was playing on the big screen, with thunderous applause from the audience. Yan Jin calmly took the heavy trophy with a confident smile on her face.

“Thank you to the jury for recognizing our company’s products. This honor belongs to every hard-working employee of the company. It is their hard work day and night that has made today’s glory!”

The applause from the audience became even louder. Yan Jin paused, her eyes sweeping across the familiar faces in the audience, finally landing on Xiang Yu, who was looking at her with deep eyes.

"I also want to thank my partner," Yan Jin's voice became softer, "He has provided indispensable support and help for the company's development. Without him, there would be no company today."

There was good-natured laughter from the audience, and everyone thought that Yan Jin was referring to Xiang Yu. Only Xiang Yu himself knew that she was talking about someone else.

Yan Jin ignored everyone's reactions and continued, "We have walked this road of glory side by side, through wind and rain, and through sunshine. But no matter what the future holds, I hope that we can stay true to our original aspirations, forge ahead, and create a more glorious tomorrow!"

Her voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes were full of longing and hope for the future. At this moment, she seemed to be standing in the center of the stage, emitting a dazzling light.

After the award ceremony, Yan Jin was surrounded by reporters, with flash cameras flashing non-stop.

"Mr. Yan, what do you think is the secret to the company's success?"

"Boss Yan, what plans do you have for future development?"

"Mr. Yan..."

Facing the reporter's repeated questions, Yan Jin always maintained an elegant smile and answered them one by one.

Suddenly, a reporter asked, "Mr. Yan, after you and Mr. Xiang divorced, you were still able to maintain such a tacit cooperative relationship. What made you make such a choice?"

The smile on Yan Jin's face froze slightly, and before she could answer, a big hand reached out and took the microphone away.

"I'm sorry, I have no comment on this issue." Xiang Yu's voice was low and firm. "We have something else to do. Excuse me."

He took Yan Jin's hand and walked straight through the crowd, leaving the reporters staring at each other in bewilderment.

"You..." Yan Jin was about to speak, but was pulled into Xiang Yu's arms. His voice rang in her ears, trembling a little, "Don't say anything, let me hug you..."

Chapter 514: Bright Stars (Continued)

Yan Jin stood there stiffly, feeling Xiang Yu's strong heartbeat and warm breath. His embrace used to be the harbor she longed for the most, but now, it has become a weight she cannot bear.

"Let me go." Yan Jin's voice was soft, but it was filled with unquestionable determination.

Xiang Yu's body was obviously stiff, but he slowly loosened his hand and looked at her with complicated eyes, "Ajin, can't we really start over?"

Yan Jin took a step back and put some distance between them. "Xiang Yu, we're done." Her tone was calm, but with a hint of fatigue that was barely noticeable. "I just want to run the company well now. I don't want to think about anything else."

After saying that, Yan Jin turned and left, leaving Xiang Yu standing there alone, his back looking lonely and desolate.

Before the afterglow of the award ceremony faded, the company's success story was widely reported by major media, and the names of Yan Jin and Xiang Yu once again became a hot topic in the business world. One of them is bold and wise, and the other is calm and reserved. They are praised as a match made in heaven and are role models in the hearts of countless entrepreneurs.

Investor Chen looked at the overwhelming news reports with a gratified smile on his face. He had invested in Yan Jin's company under great pressure, and now his vision had been richly rewarded.

"Mr. Yan, congratulations!" Investor Chen called Yan Jin and said, "Your company is really promising. My decision was absolutely correct!"

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your praise," Yan Jin's voice was as steady as ever. "All of this is inseparable from your support and trust."

"No, no," Investor Chen said with a hearty smile, "I have decided to establish a long-term strategic partnership with your company to jointly explore the market and create greater glory!"

"Thank you very much for your trust. I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant!" A sincere smile appeared on Yan Jin's face.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin's face was covered with a shadow. She knew that all this glory was inseparable from the silent dedication of that man, but she pushed him away with her own hands...

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a gentle knock on the office door. Yan Jin looked up and saw Technical Expert Lin standing at the door, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Yan Jin motioned for him to come in.

"Boss Yan," Technical Expert Lin took a deep breath, "I... I just received a notice..."

"What's wrong?" Yan Jin motioned for him to come in, with a hint of doubt and concern in her tone.

Technical expert Lin took a deep breath, with an expression of incredible excitement and joy on his face, "Boss Yan, I... I just received a notice that I was awarded this year's Industry Outstanding Contribution Award for my outstanding contribution to our new technology field!"

Yan Jin was stunned at first, then a pleased smile appeared on her face, "Really? That's great!" She stood up, walked to Technical Expert Lin, and praised him sincerely, "Xiao Lin, this is the honor you deserve, congratulations!"

Technical expert Lin scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "This is all due to the good leadership of President Yan and the joint efforts of the entire team. I just did my part."

"No, this is a reflection of your personal strength," Yan Jin patted his shoulder, "your efforts and contributions are seen by everyone, and this award is well deserved."

The news quickly spread throughout the company, and everyone was immersed in joy and excitement. In order to celebrate the company's winning of the industry award and Lin's personal honor, Yan Jin decided to hold a grand celebration banquet.

That night, the company's largest banquet hall was brightly lit and bustling. All employees attended in their best attire, their faces filled with joy and pride. Yan Jin looked particularly beautiful in her elegant evening gown. She raised her glass and expressed her gratitude to all employees: "Today, I want to thank all my colleagues who have worked hard for the company. It is your hard work and dedication that have made the company what it is today. This honor belongs to each and every one of us!"

Warm applause and cheers resounded throughout the banquet hall. Yan Jin's eyes swept across the crowd, but accidentally met Xiang Yu in the corner. He was wearing a black suit, looking more calm and reserved, and his deep eyes followed her all the time, with complex and affectionate eyes.

Yan Jin's heart trembled slightly, and she quickly avoided his sight. She raised her glass and congratulated Lin, the technical expert: "Xiao Lin, congratulations! This award is the result of your hard work, and it also wins greater honor for our company!"

Technical expert Lin took the wine glass and said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Yan, and thank the company for giving me this platform. I will continue to work hard and contribute my own strength to the development of the company!"

The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively. Everyone toasted to celebrate and talked about the future. Yan Jin and the company's senior management also toasted frequently to accept congratulations from all sides.

"Mr. Yan, congratulations!" Investor Chen walked up to Yan Jin with a smile on his face, "Your company is really thriving!"

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your compliment," Yan Jin raised his glass in response, "All of this is inseparable from your support and trust."

"I believe that your company will be even more brilliant in the future!" Investor Chen said, looking at Xiang Yu meaningfully, then turned and left.

Yan Jin's heart was filled with mixed emotions again. She knew that Xiang Yu had contributed a lot to the company, but some things, once broken, could never go back to the past...

The music started and the banquet reached its climax. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, as the leaders of the company, were invited to the stage to present the trophy to Lin, the technical expert.

Under the spotlight, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu stood on the podium, holding the trophy in their hands. Their smiles were like bright stars, illuminating the entire business world... And off the stage, a pair of eyes were silently watching all this, their eyes were filled with unspeakable sadness and bitterness... Yan Jin and Xiang Yu stood on the podium, holding the trophy in their hands. Their smiles were like bright stars, illuminating the entire business world. The flash kept flashing, recording this glorious moment, and it seemed to illuminate the insurmountable gap between the two.

The audience applauded for a long time. Lin, the technical expert, held the trophy and certificate in his hands, his eyes were red with excitement. He bowed deeply and thanked the company and leaders for their cultivation.

Yan Jin looked at Lin, a high-spirited technical expert, with pride and satisfaction in her heart. At this moment, she truly felt the sense of accomplishment as a leader, and it also strengthened her determination to lead the company to a more glorious future.

After the award ceremony, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked off the stage side by side, keeping a polite and distant distance between them, as if they were strangers.

"Congratulations." Xiang Yu was the first to break the silence, his voice low and hoarse.

"Thank you." Yan Jin responded calmly without looking at him.

"You've lost weight." Xiang Yu's gaze fell on her slender waist, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

Yan Jin didn't say anything, but just quickened her pace, wanting to leave this depressing place as soon as possible.

"Yan Jin..." Xiang Yu stretched out his hand to hold her, but she dodged him calmly.

"Mr. Xiang, is there anything else?" Yan Jin stopped and spoke in a cold and distant tone.

"It's okay..." Xiang Yu's hands froze in mid-air, and he smiled bitterly, "I just want to say, you... take care of yourself."

"Thank you for your concern." Yan Jin said, and left the banquet hall without looking back.

Looking at her resolute back, Xiang Yu's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and it hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.

He knew that he had ruined their love with his own hands and had lost the qualification to win her back.

After the banquet, Yan Jin returned to the office, replaying the scenes in his mind.

She admitted that seeing Xiang Yu's lonely eyes, her heart would ache. But when she thought of the irreparable rift between them, she forced herself to harden her heart.

The knock on the door interrupted Yan Jin's thoughts.

"Please come in."

Zhao, a key member of the R&D team, pushed the door open and walked in with an excited look on his face: "Boss Yan, I have sorted out the information you requested."

Yan Jin took the document, flipped through a few pages, and frowned slightly: "The analysis of the future development trends of emerging technologies in this report is not in-depth enough. You should find some more relevant information and discuss it in a meeting tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Mr. Yan." Zhao, a key R&D staff member, nodded in response.

"Also," Yan Jin raised his head, his eyes firm and sharp, "notify all the company's senior executives to come to the conference room for a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I have something important to announce."

"Yes!" The backbone of Zhao R&D took the order and left.

Yan Jin looked at the bright starry sky outside the window, her heart full of expectation and longing. She knew that the road ahead was still long, but she was ready to meet the challenge.

What she didn't know was that a bigger storm was quietly brewing...
