"Boss Yan," the assistant pushed the door open and said anxiously, "Engineer Guo has resigned!"

Yan Jin raised his head sharply, staring at the assistant, "What's going on?"

The assistant did not dare to neglect it and quickly explained: "Engineer Guo said that the project is too difficult and he is worried that he is not capable enough, so..."

"Incompetent?" Yan Jin sneered and slammed the plan in his hand on the table. "Who patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be no problems before the project started? Now he quits right after the project started. What does he think of our Yan Group?"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heavy, and everyone felt the low pressure emanating from Yan Jin. Engineer Guo was a core member of the project team, and his departure was undoubtedly a huge blow to the project progress.

Yan Jin took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked calmly: "Is there anyone else who wants to withdraw? It's not too late to speak up now."

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

"Very good," Yan Jin looked around with a firm look in his eyes, "Since you have chosen to stay, then don't let me down! This project is of vital importance to our Yan family. We must go all out, overcome all difficulties, and achieve the final victory!"

Yan's Group quickly entered a combat state, but the reality was more cruel than expected. Engineer Guo's departure was just the beginning. During the project's advancement, various technical problems followed one after another, raw material supply also had problems, and competitors were secretly making trouble. Yan Jin and her team faced unprecedented pressure.

Late at night, the lights in Yan Jin's office were still on. She rubbed her tired brows and looked at the pile of documents on the table, her heart full of anxiety. At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence of the office.

The caller ID is Xiang Yu.

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call.

"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Xiang Yu's voice was as deep and magnetic as ever.

"The project has encountered some problems," Yan Jin said with a hint of fatigue in her voice, "I'm trying to find a solution."

"What's the problem?" Xiang Yu asked with concern.

Yan Jin briefly explained the difficulties encountered in the project. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Xiang Yu said, "I know a few experts in this field who may be able to help you."

Yan Jin's heart moved, but he still hesitated for a moment, "This..."

"Yan Jin," Xiang Yu's voice suddenly became serious, "I know you don't want to accept my help now, but I hope you can understand that everything I do is for the project, for..."

"For what?" Yan Jin couldn't help but ask.

"For..." Xiang Yu's voice stopped abruptly, as if he had something to say but couldn't. "For what?" Yan Jin couldn't help asking, with a barely perceptible tremor in her tone. The silence on the other end of the phone was like a feather gently sweeping across her heart, stirring up an inexplicable ripple. She could almost imagine Xiang Yu's expression at the moment, perhaps with a slightly frowned brow, perhaps with a deep gaze, or perhaps, with a hint of...expectation that she couldn't understand?

Yan Jin quickly killed this ridiculous thought in her mind, took a deep breath, and brought her attention back to reality. "No need," she said, her tone returning to its usual coldness, "I can handle it myself."

"Yan Jin," Xiang Yu's voice was a little tired, but more determined, "I know what you are thinking. But this time, I am not doing this for you, but for the project and for everyone's efforts."

Yan Jin's fingers tightened slightly around the phone. Xiang Yu's words were like a stone, stirring up ripples in her calm heart. For the project, for everyone's efforts... Could it be that he really just wanted to make up for his previous mistakes?

"Okay." In the end, Yan Jin compromised.

Xiang Yu's help was undoubtedly timely. The experts he introduced were experienced and provided the project team with many valuable suggestions. With their help, technical problems were overcome one by one, and the problem of raw material supply was also solved. Yan's Group was like a giant ship that had experienced storms and finally sailed into stable waters.

The project progressed smoothly, and the haze in Yan Jin's heart gradually dissipated. She began to realize that Xiang Yu was really helping her sincerely, without any personal feelings. This made Yan Jin have a better impression of him, but whenever she thought of that phone call and his hesitant words, she always felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

On this day, the project reached a critical point, and the chairman of the tendering party, Mr. Zhao, came to inspect in person. After listening to the project report, Chairman Zhao showed a satisfied smile on his face. He shook Yan Jin's hand and praised: "Mr. Yan, your company is strong, I am very relieved! It is really right to hand over this project to you!"

Yan Jin smiled modestly and was about to speak, but he heard Chairman Zhao change the subject and look at Xiang Yu standing beside him and said, "Boss Xiang, thanks to your matchmaking this time, I can safely hand over the project to Yan's. With your two companies joining forces, I believe the future will be..."

Chairman Zhao was interrupted by a rapid ringing of his cell phone before he finished speaking. He smiled apologetically and answered the call, but his expression gradually became serious...

Chairman Zhao hung up the phone, his face full of apology, "I'm sorry, there was a temporary problem in the company, and I have to go back to deal with it immediately. Let's end the inspection today. Mr. Yan, Mr. Xiang, I'm sorry."

After seeing off Chairman Zhao, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked side by side in the company park. The early autumn sunshine cast mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of warmth to this industrial park.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yan," Xiang Yu was the first to break the silence, "It looks like you're going to win this project."

Yan Jin turned to look at him, only to see Xiang Yu with a sincere smile on his face, not at all frustrated by the success of his competitor. He was completely different from the arrogant and conceited chief referee of the Xiang family in her impression.

"All of this is inseparable from your help," Yan Jin's voice softened a lot, "Thank you, Xiang Yu."

Xiang Yu was slightly startled, then smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome, I just did what I thought I should do." He paused, his eyes fell on a patch of green plants in the distance, "You know, I have been reflecting on the problems between us. Maybe at the beginning, I didn't really understand you, and I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a husband."

Yan Jin's heart trembled slightly. She didn't expect Xiang Yu to take the initiative to bring up the past.

"Let the past be the past," Yan Jin took a deep breath, "We should all look forward."

"Yes, look forward." Xiang Yu repeated in a low voice, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

In the following days, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu cooperated more tacitly. They often held meetings together to discuss solutions and solve various problems encountered in the project. Yan Jin found that Xiang Yu was no longer as arbitrary as before, but became better at listening and communicating. He could always put forward constructive opinions from different angles to escort the development of the project.

What Yan Jin didn't know was that Xiang Yu had changed so much because of her. After the divorce, Xiang Yu really realized how important Yan Jin was to him. He began to pay attention to her every move and the development of her company. He found that Yan Jin could still live a wonderful and dazzling life without him. But he became more and more confused and empty after losing her.

He knew that he had fallen deeply in love with this woman whom he had once ignored. Chapter 101: Phoenix Nirvana

Time flies, and the project is coming to an end in a blink of an eye. Yan Jin's company has won unanimous recognition from its partners for its excellent solutions and efficient execution.

On this day, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu attended an industry summit together. At the meeting, Yan Jin spoke as a representative of a new company. Her confident and calm attitude and accurate grasp of industry development trends won applause from the audience.

Xiang Yu, who was sitting in the audience, followed the beautiful figure on the stage. He had to admit that Yan Jin's transformation amazed him. The woman who once seemed a little weak in front of him had now grown into a strong business woman who could stand on her own. Her tenacity, her wisdom, and the self-confidence she exuded deeply attracted him.

After the meeting, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu unexpectedly met in the corridor of the hotel. When their eyes met, a hint of complicated emotions flashed in both of their eyes.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yan, your speech was wonderful." Xiang Yu was the first to break the silence, with a barely perceptible bitterness in his tone.

"Thank you." Yan Jin smiled faintly, politely but distantly.

"You seem... to have changed a lot." Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts.

"Really?" Yan Jin raised an eyebrow, "People always change, don't they?"

"Yes, people always change..." Xiang Yu repeated in a low voice, with a trace of loneliness in his eyes. He wanted to tell her that he regretted not cherishing her.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first." Yan Jin didn't want to continue this topic and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Xiang Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, with a hint of anxiety in his tone that was difficult to conceal, "Yan Jin, give me a chance, okay? Let me pursue you again and make up for the mistakes I made..."

Yan Jin was stunned. She didn't expect Xiang Yu to say such a thing. She shook his hand away with force and said in a cold tone, "Mr. Xiang, I think you misunderstood. We..."

"No, I didn't misunderstand!" Xiang Yu interrupted her, his tone firm, "I know that nothing I say now can make up for the past hurt, but I hope you can give me a chance to prove it..."

"Prove what?" Yan Jin looked him straight in the eyes, without a trace of emotion in her eyes. "Prove that your original choice was wrong?"

Xiang Yu's heart suddenly sank. He knew that what he had done in the past had left a deep scar in Yan Jin's heart. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

The corridor fell into silence, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

"Mr. Xiang, if you are here to tell me this, then I think there is nothing to talk about between us." Yan Jin broke the silence, his tone was firm, "It's getting late, I should rest."

After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Xiang Yu, turned around and walked towards her room, leaving only a resolute back...
