After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Yan Jin originally thought that as long as the team was united, they could resist all the rumors. But the reality was far more cruel than she imagined. Xiang's mother had a wide network of contacts, and the speed and intensity of spreading rumors were beyond imagination.

First, several long-term customers postponed their orders for various reasons, and then some projects that were originally intended were shelved. Manager Wu handed a financial report to Yan Jin with a serious expression, "Boss Yan, our turnover this month has dropped by 30%, and this number is still increasing."

Yan Jin took the report and frowned. The funds in the company's account were already a little tight due to the investment in a new project, and now this incident has happened again. The crisis of a broken capital chain is imminent.

"I understand," Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. "Manager Wu, please notify all department managers to hold an emergency meeting at 2 pm."

The atmosphere in the conference room was depressing, and everyone's face was filled with worry. Yan Jin looked around and said in a deep voice: "I think everyone is clear about the current situation of the company. I have decided to start a layoff plan to streamline the organization and reduce costs."

"Layoffs?" A department manager exclaimed in disbelief, "Boss Yan, we are in urgent need of manpower right now!"

Yan Jin closed his eyes helplessly and said painfully, "I know, but we have no other choice now. If we don't find a way to raise funds, the company will not be able to survive."

After the meeting, Yan Jin returned to the office and leaned back in his chair tiredly. At this moment, there was a light knock on the office door, and Lawyer Qian walked in. He looked solemn and placed a document in front of Yan Jin.

"Boss Yan, this is the evidence I collected. It is enough to prove that it was Madam Xiang who maliciously slandered the company. We can protect the company's reputation through legal means."

Yan Jin's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, but soon, her eyes dimmed again, "But, a lawsuit takes time, and also requires..."

Lawyer Qian understood her concerns and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yan, I know the difficulties you are facing now, but please believe me, I will definitely..."

"Knock, knock, knock!" The sound of rapid knocking on the door interrupted Lawyer Qian's words. Manager Wu pushed the door open in a panic, "Boss Yan, something bad has happened. The bank..."

Manager Wu was anxious and said hurriedly, "Boss Yan, it's bad. The bank is urging us to pay back the loan. They said..." He paused, as if he couldn't speak, "They said Xiang's company put pressure on us."

Yan Jin's face turned pale, and the documents in his hand fell to the table. The crisis of broken capital chain finally came.

"Xiang Yu..." Yan Jin whispered, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes. She knew that with the strength of the Xiang family, it would be easy to deal with the Yan family, which was now in a precarious situation.

Seeing this, Lawyer Qian frowned and consoled him, "Mr. Yan, don't worry. I will communicate with the bank again and try to buy time."

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. She forced herself to calm down. Now was not the time to lose her composure.

"Mr. Qian, thank you for your help." Yan Jin gave him a grateful look, then turned to Manager Wu and said, "Manager Wu, please make arrangements immediately. I need to meet with all the partners and explain the current situation in person."

Although Manager Wu was nervous, he immediately followed Yan Jin's instructions.

The next day, Yan Jin led her team to visit partners one by one. She sincerely explained the company's current difficulties to them and promised to solve the problem as soon as possible to ensure the normal progress of the project.

Some partners expressed their understanding and were willing to give Yan Jin some more time; but some partners were full of doubts about Yan Jin's words and revealed their intention to withdraw their investment.

Yan Jin ran around the meeting rooms under tremendous pressure, trying to control her emotions and win the trust of every partner with the most professional attitude and sincere tone.

However, Yan Jin's efforts did not completely save the situation. The rumors spread by Xiang's mother had caused great damage to Yan's reputation. Many partners lost confidence in Yan's and proposed to terminate the contract.

Yan Jin was exhausted, but still refused to give up. She knew that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she had to persevere.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou appeared in front of Yan Jin. She had a hypocritical smile on her face, but her tone was full of sarcasm: "Boss Yan, long time no see. Why do you look so haggard? Are you worried too much about the company's affairs?"

Yan Jin looked at Mrs. Zhou calmly, feeling a little uneasy. She knew Mother Xiang too well, and this woman would never give up.

"Mrs. Zhou, you're joking. The company has encountered a small problem, and I can solve it." Yan Jin's tone was calm, but there was a sharp edge hidden in it.

Mrs. Zhou smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, "Really? I heard..." She deliberately lowered her voice and whispered in Yan Jin's ear, "I heard that Xiang is interested in acquiring your company."

Yan Jin's pupils shrank slightly. Mrs. Zhou's words undoubtedly dropped a heavy bomb in her heart. She suppressed her inner shock and asked calmly, "Mrs. Zhou, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Zhou straightened up, her smile growing wider. "It's nothing, I just kindly reminded you that a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Some things cannot be changed by your efforts."

As soon as Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, several of the partners who were originally quite determined began to look embarrassed and whispered to each other. Yan Jin knew that Mrs. Zhou's "heart attack" was very effective, and she had to fight back immediately.

Yan Jin calmly took in Mrs. Zhou's expression, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. She turned to the hesitant partners and said, "Everyone, the business world is changing rapidly, and I understand your concerns. But please believe that the foundation of Yan's company cannot be shaken overnight. We have the confidence and ability to overcome the difficulties."

After saying that, Yan Jin walked straight to Mrs. Zhou, stared at her sharply, and said word by word: "Mrs. Zhou, can you please have a word with me?"

Mrs. Zhou's heart trembled at Yan Jin's sharp eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She adjusted her shawl gracefully and said with a fake smile, "Boss Yan, just say whatever you want to say. We are all family here."

"One of our own?" Yan Jin sneered, "Mrs. Zhou, it's not a glorious thing to sow discord. Are you sure you want to say this in front of 'one of our own'?"

Yan Jin's words made Mrs. Zhou look flustered, but she quickly calmed down and asked in confusion, "Boss Yan, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand," Yan Jin said in a cold tone, "I can say it again, I advise you not to interfere in the affairs between me and the Xiang family, otherwise..."

"What else?" Mrs. Zhou straightened her back, her eyes full of provocation, "Yan Jin, don't forget that you are no longer the young lady of the Xiang family. Do you think you can still call the shots like before?"

"Mrs. Zhou will soon know whether I need to call the shots." Yan Jin ignored Mrs. Zhou's provocation. Her tone was calm, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty. "Let's go, Mrs. Zhou, let's talk somewhere else."

After saying that, Yan Jin turned around and walked towards the lounge, leaving Mrs. Zhou standing there alone, her face uncertain. After a moment, Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath and followed Yan Jin's footsteps. She wanted to see what kind of waves this woman who was kicked out of the Xiang family could still make.

The door of the lounge slowly closed, isolating the two figures inside. A silent contest was about to unfold in this small space...In the lounge, the atmosphere was solemn. Yan Jin sat elegantly on the sofa, tapping the table lightly with her fingertips, making a crisp sound, but it was like knocking on Mrs. Zhou's heart, making her feel inexplicably nervous.

"Mrs. Zhou, you should know that business matters should be resolved through business means. Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules by intervening like this?" Yan Jin's voice was calm and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

Mrs. Zhou suppressed her uneasiness and said calmly, "Boss Yan is joking. I just care about Xiang Yu and hope he will be fine."

"Really? You care about Xiang Yu?" Yan Jin sneered, "I think you care more about the interests of the Xiang family. Don't forget who was the one who tried so hard to get Xiang Yu and I to divorce."

Yan Jin's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Mrs. Zhou's heart. Her face changed, but she couldn't refute it. At the beginning, she really looked down on Yan Jin's background and felt that she was not worthy of Xiang Yu, so she fanned the flames in front of Xiang's mother, which eventually led to their divorce.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou speechless, Yan Jin sneered in her heart. She knew that people like Mrs. Zhou were most afraid of exposing her true colors.

"Mrs. Zhou, that's all I have to say. I hope you can take care of yourself in the future." Yan Jin stood up and looked down at Mrs. Zhou. "You should know that the matter between Xiang Yu and me is over. As for the future of the Xiang family, it has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, Yan Jin ignored Mrs. Zhou and walked out of the lounge, leaving Mrs. Zhou alone sitting on the sofa, her face pale and her eyes flickering.

Yan Jin returned to the banquet hall, and the partners came around to ask about the situation. Yan Jin just smiled faintly, indicating that the matter had been resolved.

Although the partners were temporarily stabilized, Yan Jin knew that this was only a stopgap measure. Xiang's mother's power was far greater than she imagined. She had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the company would be dragged down sooner or later.

After returning to the office, Yan Jin immediately called a meeting of the company's top executives.

"Manager Wu, what's the situation now?" Yan Jin asked.

Manager Wu reported with a serious expression: "Boss Yan, since the news of your divorce from Boss Xiang spread, our business has been greatly affected. Many customers have cancelled their cooperation, and several important partners have also expressed their intention to reconsider..."

Yan Jin frowned, and an unprecedented pressure rose in her heart. She knew that a tough battle was inevitable.

"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Yan Jin said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Yan, Lawyer Qian is here." The assistant's voice came from outside the door.

"Invite him in."

Lawyer Qian walked into the office and saw Yan Jin's tired look, and he sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that this strong woman was now facing an unprecedented predicament.

"Mr. Yan, regarding the divorce agreement between you and Mr. Xiang..." Lawyer Qian just started to speak when he was interrupted by Yan Jin.

"Lawyer Qian, there's no point in talking about this now." Yan Jin took a deep breath, "I need you to help me win this battle!"
