After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

On the huge screen, the column for the project’s final partner clearly displayed the five big words “Yan Group”.

silence!

One second, two seconds...

It seemed like a century had passed before thunderous applause broke out in the conference room.

"We win! We win!"

"Great! President Yan, we succeeded!"

Cheers and screams rang out one after another, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.

Yan Jin also showed a bright smile on her face. She walked to the front of the stage confidently and gracefully, and bowed deeply to Chairman Zhao and others on the judging panel: "Thank you all for your recognition of our proposal. Our Yan Group will do our best to complete this project with high quality!"

Her eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on Manager Liu in the corner.

Manager Liu's face turned pale, unable to hide his disappointment and jealousy. Engineer Guo, the technical backbone beside him, was even paler, as he knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility for this failure.

"Congratulations, President Yan." Chairman Zhao came over first and shook hands with Yan Jin with an appreciative smile on his face. "Your plan is excellent. I believe you will do an excellent job."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Yan Jin smiled confidently, "We will definitely live up to your expectations."

In the banquet hall, everyone congratulated Yan Jin, and their words were full of admiration for her.

"Boss Yan, congratulations! Women are really as good as men!"

"Boss Yan, if there is a chance in the future, please give me more advice!"

Yan Jin responded one by one, her every move full of confidence and charm.

However, in the corner of the crowd, a tall figure looked a little lonely.

Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin, who was dazzling in the crowd, and felt mixed emotions. He knew that he should be happy for her, but...

"Congratulations, Yan Jin."

His voice was low, but it reached Yan Jin's ears clearly.

She turned her head and her eyes met Xiang Yu's, but the smile on her lips faded little by little...

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, as night falls and the lights come on, the lively scene of clinking glasses in the banquet hall is reflected.

Yan Jin had a very pleasant conversation with Chairman Zhao. Her elegant and graceful conversation and her confidence in her thorough knowledge of the project made everyone present look at her with admiration.

Xiang Yu stood at the edge of the crowd, silently watching Yan Jin. Her smile was bright and charming, but it no longer bloomed for him. A trace of bitterness rose in his heart. The little woman who needed his protection at the beginning has now grown into a business elite who can stand on her own.

"Boss Xiang, congratulations to Boss Yan." Manager Liu held up his wine glass and forced an ugly smile on his face, but his tone was sarcastic, "It seems that this time, our company has been completely defeated by Boss Yan."

Xiang Yu glanced at him coldly and said nothing. He knew that in order to win the project, Manager Liu did not hesitate to use improper means and even tried to poach Engineer Guo, the core technical personnel of Yan Jin's company.

"Manager Liu, you are joking," Xiang Yu said indifferently, "Let's compete fairly and each one will rely on their own abilities. Your company's proposal this time is indeed slightly inferior."

Manager Liu's face froze, and he wanted to say something else, but was pulled away by the people around him. What he didn't know was that his shady dealings had long been known to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu secretly collected evidence and submitted it to the relevant departments. Soon, Manager Liu's company was investigated for unfair competition, and its stock price plummeted, suffering a heavy blow. Manager Liu himself was also dismissed by the company for violating professional ethics.

"You're responsible for the consequences of your own actions." Xiang Yu looked at Manager Liu's fleeing back and uttered a few words coldly.

Halfway through the banquet, Yan Jin walked onto the stage and took the microphone handed over by the host. The light shone on her, outlining her slender figure and reflecting her confident and calm smile.

"First of all, thank you all for coming tonight to witness the glorious moment of our Yan Group..." She looked around the audience, and when her eyes touched Xiang Yu, she paused slightly, and then continued, "Today, I want to especially thank my team. It's them..."

Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin, who was radiant on the stage, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that Yan Jin's success was inseparable from her own efforts and dedication, and even more inseparable from the strong team behind her. And he was once a member of this team, and he was also the one who could fight side by side with her.

"Mr. Xiang," a clear female voice sounded in his ears. Xiang Yu turned his head and saw a young and beautiful girl standing beside him with two glasses of champagne in her hands. "You seem to be absent-minded tonight. What are you thinking about?"

Xiang Yu took a glass of champagne and shook it gently, but did not drink it. He looked at Yan Jin who was talking on the stage and said slowly: "I was thinking..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the girl: "Are you thinking about President Yan?"

Xiang Yu did not answer, but just looked at the girl, his eyes were deep and complicated. The girl was a little embarrassed by his gaze, lowered her head, and whispered: "In fact, Mr. Yan is really excellent, what do you think?"

Xiang Yu didn't say anything, just drank the champagne in his hand, then turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.

"Mr. Xiang..." the girl called out from behind him, but did not stop him.

The night breeze blew away the noise in the banquet hall. Xiang Yu stood at the door of the hotel, looking at the flashing neon lights in the distance, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind...

In the banquet hall, thunderous applause pushed the atmosphere to a climax. Yan Jin put down the microphone gracefully, with a confident smile on her face. She succeeded, relying on her own strength and hard work, she won this war without gunpowder smoke and also won the respect of everyone.

"Mr. Yan, your speech was so wonderful!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Yan, and congratulations to Yan's Group for achieving greater success!"

Congratulations came one after another, and Yan Jin responded one by one, revealing her innate elegance and confidence in her every move.

At this time, Chairman Zhao walked onto the stage, shook hands cordially with Yan Jin, and announced in public: "I declare that from today on, Yan's Group will become our company's most important strategic partner!"

The audience burst into warm applause again. This applause was not only for Yan's Group, but also for Yan Jin. She proved with her own strength that women can also dominate the business world and create their own world.

After the banquet, Yan Jin declined the invitations from others and walked out of the hotel alone, ready to enjoy a moment of peace. The night breeze blew gently, blowing up the strands of hair on her forehead and also blowing away some of the fatigue in her heart.

"Yan Jin."

A deep and familiar voice sounded behind him. Yan Jin paused and turned around slowly.

Xiang Yu was standing not far away. The halo of the street lamp outlined his tall figure and illuminated his handsome yet slightly tired face.

When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still.

"Congratulations," Xiang Yu was the first to break the silence, with a barely perceptible bitterness in his tone, "You succeeded."

Yan Jin smiled faintly and said calmly: "Thank you."

"I didn't expect..." Xiang Yu hesitated, a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

"Didn't expect what?" Yan Jin raised his eyebrows, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Didn't expect me to succeed, or didn't expect you to fail?"

"That's not what I meant." Xiang Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "I just..."

"Just what?" Yan Jin pressed on, staring straight at him, as if trying to see through his truest thoughts deep in his heart.

Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "I just want to tell you that I have always admired you, your ability, your talent, and your..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Jin interrupted him: "That's enough."

She didn't want to listen anymore because she knew that some words, once spoken, could never be taken back.

"Xiang Yu," Yan Jin took a deep breath, his tone calm but firm, "We're over, aren't we?"

After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Xiang Yu, turned around and left, leaving him with only a resolute back.

"I just want to say," Xiang Yu said sincerely, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes that he himself did not notice, "You are really great, always have been."

Yan Jin paused but did not look back. She knew that Xiang Yu was speaking from the heart. The ability and resilience she had shown over the past few months had indeed impressed him. In the past, in her marriage, she habitually hid her edge and left the center of the stage to him, but now, she could finally shine her own light.

"Thank you." Yan Jin responded calmly, with no emotion in his tone.

"You..." Xiang Yu wanted to say something, but saw Yan Jin had already started walking forward without looking back. He subconsciously wanted to catch up with her, but stopped in his tracks.

He knew that he was in no position to disturb her now.

"Yan Jin." Xiang Yu's voice sounded particularly low in the empty night. "Can you give me a chance? I want to compete with you fairly."

Yan Jin stopped walking but didn't turn around. Xiang Yu's words, like a stone, stirred up thousands of waves in her calm heart. Fair competition? Was he referring to the project, or... her?

"You know," Yan Jin's voice seemed a little ethereal in the night wind, "I have never been afraid of competition."

"I know." Xiang Yu took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "But this time, I won't lose to you again."

"Then we'll see."

Yan Jin didn't look back and continued to walk forward. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground gradually disappeared into the night. Xiang Yu stood there, looking at the direction she left with a complicated look in his eyes.

The next day, in the Yan Group meeting room, Yan Jin was leading the team to make intensive preparations for the launch of a new project. However, before she could turn to the second page of the plan, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Yan Jin said without raising his head.

"Boss Yan," the assistant pushed the door open and came in, his tone anxious, "Engineer Guo..."
