After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 16 Resolving the feud
The door of the study was pushed open, and Xiang's father walked in. His eyes fell on Xiang Yu, with a hint of worry and inquiry, "Let's talk, father and son..."
Xiang Yu raised his head and drank the red wine in his hand. The bitter taste spread in his mouth, but it was not as bad as the confusion in his heart at the moment. He stood up and welcomed Xiang's father into the study. The father and son sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"Although your mother's words are unpleasant to hear, they are not entirely unreasonable." Father Xiang sighed and said earnestly, "Your marriage with Yan Jin was different from the beginning. You need more time to get along and understand each other."
"Dad, I know." Xiang Yu rubbed his brows, with a hint of fatigue in his tone, "But I don't know what to do. She always keeps me at a distance, and there seems to be an insurmountable gap between us."
Father Xiang was silent for a moment, then said, "Have you ever thought that maybe she is insecure?"
Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at his father in confusion.
"You have been used to being in control since you were a child. You are resolute and decisive in the company. However, marriage is not a company, and Yan Jin is not your subordinate. What she needs is your respect and understanding, not your orders and arrangements." Father Xiang paused, and then said, "Have you ever really understood her thoughts? Have you ever understood her situation in Yan's company? Have you ever understood her true desires?"
A series of questions left Xiang Yu speechless. He had always thought that the material life he gave Yan Jin was the best care for her, but he never thought that what she really needed might just be a simple companionship and understanding.
"I..." Xiang Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Dong dong dong..."
The door of the study was knocked again, and Yan Jin came in with two cups of tea. She placed one of the cups in front of Xiang Yu and said softly, "Dad, have a cup of tea."
Father Xiang took the teacup, nodded with a smile, then looked at Yan Jin and said, "Yan Jin, I talked to A Yu, and he also realized that he didn't do well in some areas. You..."
"Dad, you don't have to say it, I know." Yan Jin interrupted Xiang's father. She took a deep breath and looked at Xiang Yu with a complicated expression. "There are some things I want to talk to him alone."
Father Xiang looked at the two of them, stood up and left the study. Before leaving, he patted Xiang Yu's shoulder meaningfully.
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin were the only ones left in the study, and the atmosphere fell into silence again. After a long while, Yan Jin finally spoke. Her voice was very soft, but it was like a stone that stirred up thousands of waves in Xiang Yu's calm heart.
"Xiang Yu, I..."
Yan Jin took a deep breath, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, "Xiang Yu, I want to apologize to you for what happened in the company before. Maybe the way I handled it was a bit harsh, and I didn't take your position and feelings into consideration."
Xiang Yu was a little surprised to hear Yan Jin's apology. He raised his head and locked his eyes with hers, "You..."
"Listen to me first." Yan Jin interrupted him, with a hint of self-mockery in her tone, "I know that at work, I have always been like a hedgehog, strong and aggressive. I want to handle everything by myself, and I don't want others to interfere, and I am even more unwilling to show weakness easily." She paused, her eyes fell on the teacup in her hand, and she said as if talking to herself, "Maybe it's because since I was a child, everyone around me told me that if I want something, I must fight for it myself and can't rely on anyone..."
Hearing this, Xiang Yu's heart seemed to be gently hit by something. He remembered Yan Jin's cautious moves when facing those old foxes in Yan's company, and her exhausted figure running around for the company's projects. An indescribable pity welled up in his heart.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault." Xiang Yu's voice was a little hoarse. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Yan Jin, but stopped in mid-air. "I shouldn't have distrusted your ability, and I shouldn't have told you what to do about the company. I just..."
"I know, you just want to help me." Yan Jin raised her head and looked at him, with a hint of warmth in her eyes, "We should all try to understand each other, right?"
In the study, the atmosphere between the two of them became subtle, as if there was an invisible warm current flowing slowly...
The study was quiet except for the aroma of tea. Looking at the couple who used to be at loggerheads but were now speechless, Father Xiang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He cleared his throat and broke the silence: "Xiao Jin, you did a great job in crisis public relations this time. You turned the tide and you are worthy of being the daughter of my Xiang family."
Yan Jin smiled faintly: "Dad, this is what I should do."
Father Xiang nodded and turned his gaze to Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, Dad knows that you have always wanted to expand overseas markets. I recently saw a project that I want to give to you and your wife to jointly take charge of."
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin were both stunned and looked at Xiang's father in surprise.
"Dad, you mean..." Xiang Yu hesitated.
Father Xiang waved his hand, signaling him not to ask any more questions: "This project is of vital importance to both the Xiang family and the Yan family. I hope you can put aside your prejudices, cooperate sincerely, and take this opportunity to get to know each other better."
Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I understand, Dad."
Yan Jin also nodded gently: "I will try my best to cooperate."
Thus, an ice-breaking journey quietly began under the careful arrangement of Xiang's father.
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin began to frequently appear in each other's offices to discuss every detail of the project. They gradually became tacitly in tune with each other from their initial courtesy and alienation.
"I think this plan is not feasible and the risk is too great." Yan Jin pointed to a piece of data in the plan and frowned slightly.
Xiang Yu did not refute, but listened patiently to her analysis of the pros and cons and put forward his own views: "I understand your concerns, but we can try to reduce the risks, such as..."
The two of them talked back and forth, sometimes arguing, sometimes compromising, and in the constant collision, they got to know each other more and more deeply. Xiang Yu discovered that Yan Jin was not as strong as he imagined, she also had a delicate and gentle side; and Yan Jin gradually realized that Xiang Yu was not just a rich second-generation who would only sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, he also had a keen business mind and decisive execution.
One night, the two worked overtime until late at night. It was dark outside the window, and the only sound in the office was the typing of keyboards.
"Are you tired? I'll make you a cup of coffee." Xiang Yu stood up and walked to the coffee machine.
"Thank you." Yan Jin rubbed his sore brows and said softly.
Xiang Yu returned to the table with two cups of coffee and handed one to Yan Jin: "Be careful, it's hot."
Yan Jin took the coffee and took a sip. A warm feeling surged into her heart. She raised her head and looked at the man who had once resented her. But now she felt extremely relieved and peaceful.
"Xiang Yu..." Yan Jin was about to say something, but was interrupted by a rapid ring of the cell phone.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from the company.
"Hey?"
"Boss Yan, something bad has happened..." The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
Yan Jin's expression changed, and he stood up suddenly. The coffee cup in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yu asked hurriedly when he saw this.
Yan Jin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Something happened in the company..."
The broken pieces of the coffee cup were scattered all over the floor, just like Yan Jin's mood at the moment, in a mess. The assistant briefly explained the situation on the other end of the phone: the company's newly launched product was maliciously smeared by competitors, and negative public opinion on the Internet was everywhere, which had seriously affected the company's image and product sales.
"I understand. I'll be back right away." Yan Jin hung up the phone, his face solemn, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
"I'll go back with you." Xiang Yu said as he picked up his coat, his tone firm and unquestionable.
Yan Jin wanted to refuse, but seeing Xiang Yu's sincere eyes, she finally nodded. Along the way, the two were silent, and the atmosphere in the car was a little depressing.
Back at the company, the lights in the conference room were on. The company's top executives were all present, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. Yan Jin quickly got into the state and calmly directed the public relations team to deal with the crisis. Xiang Yu was watching silently from the side. He made some suggestions from time to time, with clear ideas and thorough analysis, which impressed Yan Jin.
After several days of hard work, the crisis was finally resolved. Yan Jin called a meeting of all the company's employees. She stood on the stage, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "This crisis has made us see our own shortcomings and made us more united. I have a new idea..."
Yan Jin talked about her long-awaited idea. She proposed to break the tradition, innovate products, and combine online and offline resources to create a new brand image. Her idea was bold and avant-garde, but also feasible, and won the applause of everyone present, including Xiang Yu.
After the meeting, Yan Jin dragged her tired body out of the meeting room. Xiang Yu walked up to her and handed her a cup of hot coffee: "Thank you for your hard work."
Yan Jin took the coffee and smiled gratefully. The two walked side by side, and before they knew it, they had arrived downstairs of the company.
"Let me take you back." Xiang Yu said.
Yan Jin did not refuse, and the two of them walked in silence all the way. However, the atmosphere in the car was no longer as dull as when they came, but instead had a hint of warmth.
"Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" Xiang Yu broke the silence and asked.
"Me?" Yan Jin was stunned for a moment, as if he had never seriously thought about this question. "I have liked challenges and creation since I was a child. I want to build a business empire of my own and let everyone recognize my abilities."
"Very ambitious." Xiang Yu chuckled, "My dream is very simple, I just hope that everyone around me can be happy."
Yan Jin turned to look at Xiang Yu, the moonlight shining through the car window onto his face, outlining his angular features. His eyes seemed to contain the sea of stars, deep and charming.
The car stopped at the foot of Yan Jin's apartment. Yan Jin unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out of the car when she suddenly heard Xiang Yu say, "Yan Jin..."
