Xiang Yu's bony fingers tapped the tabletop lightly, making a crisp sound, which formed a sharp contrast with the calm eyes of the woman opposite him. One was a group president with a long history in the business world, and the other was a decisive heir to the family. This meeting between the two was more like a negotiation of interest exchange than a marriage. There was a subtle tension in the air, and silence spread between the two.

"I believe that the cooperation between the Xiang family and the Yan family will be a win-win situation." Father Xiang was the first to break the silence, his majestic voice was filled with unquestionable affirmation. "Girl Jin, you think so too, right?"

Yan Jin nodded slightly, with a formal smile on her lips, "Uncle is right. The combination of the two companies will enable them to share resources and complement each other's strengths, which will have an immeasurable impact on the future development of both parties."

Father Xiang and mother Yan smiled at each other, obviously very satisfied with Yan Jin's answer. This marriage was the result of the tacit approval of the two elders from the beginning. The Xiang Group has encountered a bottleneck in its development in recent years and urgently needs the injection of fresh blood; while the Yan Group hopes to use the Xiang Group's platform to further expand its market share. As the heirs of the two companies, the marriage of Xiang Yu and Yan Jin has undoubtedly become the most critical bond in this cooperation.

"Since both parties have no objection, then let Lawyer Lin explain the contents of the cooperation agreement in detail to the two of you." Father Xiang said, motioning to a middle-aged man in a suit beside him. Lawyer Lin pushed his gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase, and began to explain them one by one...

Lawyer Lin cleared his throat and began to explain in a professional tone: "Regarding the distribution of property in the agreement, both parties own their pre-marital property, and the property obtained after marriage..." He paused and pushed his glasses, "Considering the possible risks in the future, it is recommended that both parties jointly establish a joint account to store the common income after marriage."

Yan Jin frowned slightly, tapped her slender fingers on the table, and interrupted Lawyer Lin. "Lawyer Lin, I need to think about the establishment of a joint account again." Her tone was calm, but with unquestionable firmness, "I personally prefer to set up a joint investment fund for projects jointly invested by both parties. The income will be distributed according to the investment ratio. This way, we can integrate resources more effectively and achieve a win-win situation."

Xiang Yu had been observing Yan Jin in silence. When he heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his deep eyes. This woman was more shrewd and powerful than he had imagined, but she was also full of wisdom and courage.

"This is a good suggestion, Jin." Xiang's mother, who had been silent, also spoke up. "This way, we can not only ensure the interests of both parties, but also better promote cooperation."

Father Xiang also nodded in agreement. He looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Yu'er, what do you think?"

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, "I agree with Miss Yan's proposal. We can discuss the specific details of the cooperation."

Lawyer Lin closed the document and pushed up his glasses. "Since both parties have no objection, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Jin suddenly spoke, looking at Xiang Yu with burning eyes, "I have another suggestion..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Jin suddenly spoke, looking at Xiang Yu with burning eyes, "I have another suggestion..." She paused, as if organizing her words, "In order to better demonstrate the sincerity of the cooperation between the two parties, and to avoid possible misunderstandings and conflicts in the future, I suggest adding a clause to the agreement: During the continuation of the marriage relationship, both parties must remain absolutely loyal and must not do anything that damages the reputation and interests of the other party."

Xiang Yu was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Yan Jin to make such a request. His deep eyes locked tightly on Yan Jin, trying to catch a trace of emotional fluctuations from her calm expression, however, he failed. Yan Jin's eyes were open and firm, without the slightest evasion.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became subtle. Father Xiang and Mother Yan exchanged glances, and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. They originally thought that this business marriage was just for the sake of family interests, but they didn't expect that Yan Jin would take this marriage so seriously.

"I agree." Xiang Yu opened his lips slightly, his tone firm, without the slightest hesitation. He knew that Yan Jin's proposal was not only to protect herself, but also to protect this marriage and their common interests.

After the meeting, Xiang Yu took the initiative to invite Yan Jin to dinner. "Miss Yan, it's still early. Why don't we have a quick meal together and discuss the details of the cooperation?"

Yan Jin nodded slightly and accepted the invitation gracefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xiang."

The two walked out of the conference room side by side. At an angle that no one else could see, their eyes met briefly, and they both saw a hint of imperceptible appreciation in each other's eyes.

"Just call me Xiang Yu."

"Then... Xiang Yu, let's go."

"Then... Xiang Yu, let's go." Yan Jin nodded gently, with a faint smile on his lips.

The two came to an elegant Western restaurant. The exquisite tableware and soft lighting created a relaxing atmosphere.

"I heard that Miss Yan likes mountain climbing?" Xiang Yu pulled out a chair for Yan Jin and asked gentlemanly.

"Yes, in my spare time I like to go hiking and feel the power of nature." Yan Jin sat down gracefully. "I heard that Mr. Xiang is also a mountaineering enthusiast?"

"I go there occasionally, but the company has been busy lately, and I haven't relaxed for a long time." Xiang Yu picked up the menu and handed it to Yan Jin, "See what you like to eat?"

"I'm not too picky about food, I just like something light." Yan Jin took the menu and ordered a few dishes at random.

The dinner was held in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The two chatted about each other's interests and hobbies and found that they both liked mountain climbing and reading. The topic gradually deepened, ranging from business strategies to philosophy of life, from astronomy and geography to art and literature. The two seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

"I didn't expect Miss Yan to be well-versed in ancient poetry." A hint of surprise flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes. He originally thought that a strong woman like Yan Jin who focused on business should prefer pragmatic books.

"Reading it in your spare time can help you relax." Yan Jin smiled faintly, "Which poem does Mr. Xiang like?"

"'Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many men have ever returned from the battles in history', this line of poetry best reflects the cruelty and helplessness in the business world." Xiang Yu picked up the red wine, took a sip, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

Yan Jin nodded slightly, expressing his agreement. "Business is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Only by staying vigilant at all times can you be invincible."

Just as dinner was about to end, Yan Jin's phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and answered the call.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Her tone was calm, yet with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, as if something urgent had happened. Yan Jin's face gradually became solemn. She whispered a few words and then hung up the phone.

"Sorry, something urgent happened at the company, so I have to leave first." Yan Jin stood up, with a hint of apology in his tone.

"I'll ask the driver to take you." Xiang Yu also stood up, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"No need, I drove here by myself." Yan Jin rejected Xiang Yu's kindness, "Let's talk about cooperation another day."

After saying that, she picked up her bag, turned around and left the restaurant, leaving Xiang Yu alone sitting there. Looking at her leaving back, he felt a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart.

He picked up his phone and was about to call his assistant to ask what happened in Yan's Enterprise, when his phone suddenly vibrated and a push message from entertainment news popped up.

"Shock! President Xiang secretly meets with a mysterious woman late at night, is it suspected to be a business marriage?"

Below the message was a secretly taken photo. In the photo, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin walked out of the restaurant side by side. Although the light was dim, their profiles could still be clearly seen.

Xiang Yu frowned, his face was terribly gloomy...
