Yan Jin held the phone, her fingertips slightly cold. The voice on the other end was from Secretary Zhou of the Public Relations Department of Xiang Group. She was polite and courteous, telling her that Xiang Group was willing to provide Yan Group with free technical support to help solve the current problems faced by the company.

"Secretary Zhou, are you sure you're not mistaken? We haven't made a similar request to the Xiang family." Yan Jin suppressed his inner shock and asked calmly.

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Xiang has been paying close attention to the development of your company. We understand that your company has been carrying out a new project recently and has encountered some technical bottlenecks, so Mr. Xiang would like to do his best to help." Secretary Zhou's tone was still neither humble nor arrogant, and it revealed an unquestionable affirmation.

Yan Jin was silent for a moment, and Xiang Yu's angular face and his firm and deep eyes as he left emerged in his mind. Could it be that this was really his effort to win a chance for cooperation?

"Mr. Yan, you don't have to worry. We just hope to help your company." Secretary Zhou seemed to have noticed Yan Jin's hesitation and added, "The technical team is ready and can connect with your company at any time."

Yan Jin took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and returned to his usual capable tone: "Then I'd like to trouble Secretary Zhou to convey my gratitude for me. We will arrange the connection work as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin's brows were still furrowed. She had to admit that Xiang Yu's move was completely unexpected. He knew that with Yan's current strength, it was entirely possible to find other companies to cooperate with, but he still chose to help, and it was free help without expecting anything in return.

Could it be that he has really changed completely and wants to start over, as he said?

"Knock Knock Knock-"

There was a gentle knock on the office door, and Assistant Chen walked in with a pile of documents. Seeing Yan Jin's frown, he asked with concern, "Boss Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiang..." Yan Jin paused, with a hint of indescribable complex emotions in his tone, "Agreed to our request for technical cooperation."

"What?!" Assistant Chen opened his mouth in surprise, "But, we didn't..."

"I know." Yan Jin rubbed his brows and said tiredly, "Xiang Yu took the initiative to propose it."

Assistant Chen was so surprised that he was speechless, and the office fell into a strange silence.

"Boom boom boom——"

The hurried knock on the door sounded again, breaking the silence in the office.

"Come in!" Yan Jin raised his head and said in a deep voice.

The office door was pushed open and a tall figure appeared at the door. It was none other than Xiang Yu, the president of Xiang Group.

"Yan Jin," Xiang Yu's tone was as strong as ever, but with a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect, "I will participate in the formulation of technical solutions."

Xiang Yu's sudden appearance made Yan Jin and Assistant Chen stunned for a moment. He walked straight to the conference table and placed a document on the table. "This is my preliminary plan for the technical difficulties of your project. We can discuss it."

Yan Jin looked at Xiang Yu calmly. He was wearing a dark suit today, looking more calm and reserved. His former frivolity and arrogance disappeared, replaced by seriousness and concentration.

In the following time, Xiang Yu demonstrated his excellent business acumen and professional technical knowledge. He had clear thinking and thorough analysis. When discussing solutions with the engineers of Yan Jin's team, he listened patiently and actively made suggestions. He did not act like a president at all, as if he was just an ordinary project participant.

Assistant Chen and PR Zhou were in the corner of the conference room, watching the scene in front of them, both of them were amazed. "Secretary Zhou, when did Mr. Xiang... become so knowledgeable about technology?" Assistant Chen asked in a low voice.

PR Zhou smiled and said, "You may not know this, but Mr. Xiang studied computer science in college, and later switched to business when he took over the family business. He has always been interested in technology, and when he heard that he was going to help Yan's, he personally studied it for several days."

Assistant Chen suddenly realized what was going on, and looked at Xiang Yu with a little more respect. The meeting lasted until late at night, and Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's team finally finalized the final solution.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Let's stop here for today." Yan Jin announced the adjournment of the meeting.

"I'll take you back." Xiang Yu walked to Yan Jin's side, speaking in a natural tone.

"No need, I..." Yan Jin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu before she could finish her words.

"It's settled." He picked up Yan Jin's bag and said without question, "Let's go."

Yan Jin opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing. She silently followed Xiang Yu out of the meeting room.

Assistant Chen looked at the two people leaving, turned to PR Zhou and said, "Secretary Zhou, why do I feel that..."

"What do you think?" Zhou Gongguan asked with a smile.

"I think..." Assistant Chen paused, "I think Mr. Li is right..."

Assistant Chen did not continue, but PR Zhou understood what she meant. Partner Li, Yan Jin's long-time friend and partner, had advised Yan Jin that Xiang Yu was not a good man. Now that he saw Xiang Yu trying so hard to help Yan, he could not help but sigh, perhaps he had made a mistake.

A few days later, the project achieved a phased success, and Yan Jin held a celebration banquet in the company. After three rounds of drinks, Partner Li walked to Xiang Yu with a glass of wine and raised his glass sincerely: "Mr. Xiang, this time it is really thanks to you, I toast you a glass."

Xiang Yu took the wine glass, clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

Partner Li shook his head and sighed, "I was prejudiced against you before, but now it seems that you are a trustworthy partner and a person worthy of entrustment."

Xiang Yu smiled faintly, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Yan Jin who was not far away. She was wearing a black dress today, with her long hair tied up, revealing her slender white neck, elegant and charming.

Noticing Xiang Yu's gaze, Partner Li patted his shoulder meaningfully, turned and walked towards Yan Jin, and handed her the wine glass in his hand: "Boss Yan, congratulations."

Yan Jin took the wine glass, took a sip, and swept her eyes across the crowd, finally landing on Xiang Yu. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards him with the wine glass in hand.

"Xiang Yu," Yan Jin stood in front of him, his tone was unusually gentle, "Thank you."

Xiang Yu looked at her, her figure reflected in his deep eyes: "No need to thank me, I just did what I should do."

"No," Yan Jin shook her head, "I mean... everything you have done for me and the company during this period of time."

Xiang Yu's heart moved slightly. He saw the sincerity in Yan Jin's eyes. He knew that she had begun to slowly let go of the grudges of the past.

"Jinjin," he called softly, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone, "Give me a chance, okay? Let me prove that I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden ring of his cell phone. Yan Jin took out his cell phone and took a look. It was a call from the company.

"Sorry, I have to take a call." She nodded slightly to Xiang Yu, turned aside and answered the phone.

Looking at her back, Xiang Yu felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He had a premonition that their relationship was about to usher in a new turning point...

The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, as if there was an emergency in the project. Yan Jin frowned slightly, and her tone became a little sharper. After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Xiang Yu, and the tenderness in her eyes had been replaced by a hint of worry.

"Sorry, there's something urgent at the company that I need to go back and deal with right away." Yan Jin's tone was apologetic, "What happened tonight..."

"I'll take you back." Xiang Yu said directly without giving her a chance to refuse.

Along the way, Yan Jin was dealing with work matters, while Xiang Yu was driving quietly, his eyes occasionally falling on her focused profile. He knew that now was not a good time to talk about feelings, but he didn't want to give up this opportunity.

The car stopped downstairs of Yan's Group. Yan Jin unbuckled her seat belt and turned to look at Xiang Yu: "Thank you for sending me back. It's getting late. You should go back and rest as well."

"Jinjin," Xiang Yu called her, staring at her with his deep eyes, "Tomorrow night, I have prepared a dinner for you, I hope you can come."

Yan Jin was stunned for a moment, as if she was a little surprised that he would make such an invitation. She hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."

After getting her response, Xiang Yu's mouth curled up slightly. He knew that this was just the beginning, but he believed that as long as he persisted, one day he would be able to walk into her heart again.

The next night, Yan Jin arrived at the place designated by Xiang Yu as promised.
