After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Yan Jin's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She took a deep breath and answered the phone, "What's the matter? Tell me slowly."

"Mr. Yan, something went wrong at the press conference! A reporter named Lin Wen suddenly threw out negative news about your family. Now the Internet has exploded, and the stock price has begun to fall..." Manager Qian of the Public Relations Department's voice trembled, and he was obviously frightened by this sudden change.

Yan Jin felt her head buzz. How could a family scandal be exposed at this critical moment? She forced herself to calm down and decisively issued an order: "Contact Lawyer Ma immediately and ask him to prepare for the response. At the same time, let Manager Qian control public opinion and minimize the negative impact!"

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin's face was already pale. She fell weakly on the sofa, the phone in her hand slipped, and the eye-catching title on the screen stung her eyes:

"Shock! A shocking scandal has occurred in the family of the wife of the president of XX Group!"

Xiang Yu saw that Yan Jin looked strange, and quickly put down the documents in his hand and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Yan Jin took a deep breath, handed the phone to Xiang Yu, and said bitterly: "Take a look."

Xiang Yu took the phone and read the news at a glance, his face gradually becoming serious. The news content described in detail a scandal of Yan Jin's family many years ago. Although the incident happened many years ago, it became the focus of public opinion instantly after being amplified and fermented on the Internet, pushing Yan Jin and her family to the forefront.

"How could this happen?" Xiang Yu frowned, "Who broke the news?"

Yan Jin shook her head. At this moment, she no longer had the energy to investigate the mastermind behind the incident. The most urgent task was to calm the storm.

"LX Group..." Yan Jin muttered to himself, his eyes filled with worry and bitterness.

"I will take care of it, don't worry." Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that this storm had just begun, and greater challenges were still to come.

Manager Qian convened an emergency meeting overnight to develop a crisis public relations strategy in an attempt to control public opinion, but to little avail. Negative news about Yan Jin's family was everywhere on the Internet, the company's stock price plummeted, and partners also expressed concerns.

"Tick, tick..." The clock hands moved forward relentlessly, and every second seemed to be striking at the nerves of Yan Jin and Xiang Yu.

At this time, Xiang Yu's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face changed slightly. "It's the family..." On the other end of the phone, the elder Sun's angry voice came: "Yu'er, what the hell are you doing? You have brought shame to the family!"

Xiang Yu tightly grasped the phone, suppressed his anger, and explained as calmly as possible: "Uncle Sun, things are not what you think, we are trying our best to deal with it..."

"Deal with it? How?! Now the whole internet is talking about our family's scandal, and the company's stock price has plummeted. How do you want me to explain this to the rest of the family?!" Elder Sun interrupted him harshly, his words full of blame and dissatisfaction.

"This is not the result we wanted. We will find out the truth as soon as possible and give the public an explanation." Xiang Yu said in a firm tone, trying to calm Elder Sun's emotions, but a cold snort came from the other end of the phone, and then the call was hung up.

Xiang Yu put down his phone helplessly, his brows full of fatigue and gloom. Yan Jin sat beside him, watching all this, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Is it a call from the family?" Yan Jin asked softly, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Yeah." Xiang Yu nodded, rubbed his brows, and said in a heavy tone, "The family is very dissatisfied with us. They think that we did not handle this matter well and damaged the family's reputation."

Yan Jin was silent for a moment. She knew that this incident was a huge test for Xiang Yu and the entire family. Online public opinion was still fermenting, the company's stock price continued to fall, and there were voices of doubt and dissatisfaction within the family. All the pressure was on their shoulders, making them breathless.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Yan Jin took a deep breath and looked at Xiang Yu firmly. "Instead of passively accepting accusations, we should take the initiative to clarify the facts."

Xiang Yu raised his head and looked at the calm and self-possessed woman in front of him, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes, "What do you think?"

Yan Jin pondered for a moment, and said clearly: "First, we need to contact the media and hold a press conference to clarify some of the distorted facts, and at the same time express our attention to the incident and our determination to solve the problem; secondly, we need to find the whistleblower and find out the truth of the matter. If it involves malicious slander, we will never tolerate it; finally, we must do a good job of internal communication, stabilize the morale of the troops, and avoid causing greater losses."

After listening to Yan Jin's analysis, Xiang Yu nodded, his eyes full of appreciation and trust, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties."

Yan Jin stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark night sky outside. Her heart was full of uncertainty and uneasiness, but she knew that now was not the time to retreat. She had to be strong and face this storm with Xiang Yu.

"I have already contacted the media and will hold a press conference at 10 a.m. tomorrow." Yan Jin turned around and said calmly and firmly, "I will attend in person and respond to all questions."

Xiang Yu looked at the confident woman in front of him, and his heart was filled with admiration and emotion. He knew that this battle had just begun, but at this moment, his heart was full of strength, because he knew that he was not fighting alone, and she was by his side...

The phone on the desk suddenly rang. Xiang Yu glanced at the caller ID, took a deep breath, answered the call, and said in a deep voice: "Notify all executives to meet in the conference room in ten minutes!"

Chapter 175 Dark Night Storm

Ten minutes later, in the top floor meeting room of Xiang Group, the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if the air had frozen. Xiang Yu sat at the end of the long table, his face grim, his sharp eyes sweeping over every company executive present, a sense of oppression spreading silently.

"I believe you have all seen the news online." Xiang Yu's tone was steady, yet revealed an unquestionable majesty. "For this incident, I have only one attitude: investigate it thoroughly and never tolerate it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Public Relations Manager Qian stood up and reported anxiously, "Mr. Xiang, we have contacted all major platforms to control comments, but the effect is not ideal at the moment. Negative news is still fermenting. The public relations department is doing its best to control public opinion..."

"Controlling reviews is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution." Lawyer Ma, who had been silent the whole time, pushed his glasses up, and a gleam of light flashed across the lenses. "The most urgent task is to find the mastermind behind this, collect evidence, and use legal means to protect the reputation of the company and the family!"

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Lawyer Ma's proposal, "Lawyer Ma, this matter will be left to you in full charge. Just let me know if you need any resources."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang." Lawyer Ma said firmly, confidently, "I will find a breakthrough as soon as possible and teach those rumor mongers a lesson!"

The atmosphere in the conference room eased a little, but everyone's face was still shrouded in lingering gloom. They all knew that this was just the beginning of a protracted battle, and the real challenge was still to come.

"Everyone, I know everyone is worried, but please believe me, we will definitely get through this difficult time!" Xiang Yu looked around at everyone, his tone firm and powerful, "Rumors stop at the wise, and the innocent are innocent. We will prove everything with practical actions!"

Xiang Yu's words were like a shot of adrenaline, injected into the hearts of everyone present. Yes, they have a strong team, abundant resources, and firm beliefs. What reason do they have to fear the difficulties before them?

The meeting lasted until late at night, and various response measures were deployed in an orderly manner. Yan Jin did not participate in the meeting, but she had been quietly following the development of the situation in the office, and communicated with Xiang Yu in a timely manner to provide advice and support.

After seeing off the last executive, Xiang Yu rubbed his brows tiredly. When he returned to the office, he found that Yan Jin had already made a cup of hot tea for him.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yan Jin handed the teacup to him, her tone gentle but firm, "I believe in you."

These four short words can soothe people's hearts better than any fancy words. Xiang Yu took the teacup, and the warm touch dispelled his fatigue and warmed his heart.

"It's great to have you here." He said softly, looking affectionately at the woman in front of him who had always fought alongside him.

Suddenly, the phones on the desks lit up at the same time. They both looked down at the same time, and the same news push flashed on the screen:

"Breaking news! Xiang Group's rival company revealed more inside information..."

The two looked at each other, and saw solemnity and worry in each other's eyes. This storm is far from over...

The phone screen emitted a cold light, illuminating the solemn faces of Xiang Yu and Yan Jin. The competitors were clearly well prepared. They had accurately seized the weakness of the family scandal and continuously threw out various "evidence" that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, pushing the Xiang Group, which was already at the center of the storm, into an even more dangerous situation.

Overnight, the stock price of Xiang Group suffered an unprecedented cliff-like drop. Shareholders were panicked and demanded an emergency shareholders' meeting, questioning Xiang Yu's leadership ability, and some even proposed to remove him from his position as president.

"Bang!" Xiang Yu slammed his fist on the desk, causing the documents to jump a few times. "They are trying to take advantage of the situation!"

Yan Jin calmly put down her phone, walked over to him, and gently pressed his clenched fist. "Calm down. Now is not the time to act on impulse. We must find a way to stabilize the situation and not let our opponent's conspiracy succeed."

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm his surging emotions. He knew Yan Jin was right. The most important thing now was how to solve the problem instead of being blinded by anger.

"What are you going to do?" Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin, his eyes full of trust and dependence.

"We must act separately." Yan Jin said calmly, "You are responsible for stabilizing the company and calming the shareholders. I will deal with the family's affairs and find out the truth as soon as possible to clear the family's name."

Xiang Yu understood Yan Jin's intention. The family scandal was the fuse of this incident. Only by thoroughly solving this problem can the situation be fundamentally reversed.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

The two looked at each other, both of them filled with determination and trust.

The next morning, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin made a decision that shocked everyone: to temporarily separate.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion exploded. Various speculations and rumors were rampant. Some said that their relationship had broken down, while others said that this was a self-torture tactic to divert public attention.

Facing the reporters' guns and cannons, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin simply responded with a few words and hurriedly left the company. They had no time to pay attention to those groundless speculations. Every minute and every second was extremely precious to them.

Yan Jin drove to a private estate in the suburbs, where lived a highly respected elder of the Xiang family - Old Master Sun.

The car slowly drove into the manor. Yan Jin took a deep breath and got out of the car. There was a determined light in her eyes...
