After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

"What did you say?" Yan Jin almost suspected that she had heard it wrongly. The conditions proposed by the man on the other end of the phone could almost be described as "extremely high".

"Mr. Yan, don't be so hasty to refuse," the man seemed to have anticipated her reaction and said slowly, "I know this condition sounds a bit harsh, but think about it carefully. Given the current situation of our partner company, who else can save it from the dire situation except me?"

Yan Jin was silent. Although the man's words were harsh, they were also indisputable facts. The partner company's capital chain was broken, and the bank refused to lend. If they could not find new investors in time, they would have to declare bankruptcy.

"I can give you a day to think about it," the man continued when she didn't say anything. "I will wait for you at XX Cafe at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."

After that, the man hung up the phone. Yan Jin held the phone for a long time without coming back to her senses. She knew that this was a difficult decision, but for the sake of her partner company and those hard-working employees, she had to make a choice.

The next morning, Yan Jin arrived at XX Coffee Shop as scheduled. The man was already waiting there, wearing a well-cut black suit, looking smart and capable, and exuding a strong aura.

"Mr. Yan, you're here." The man stood up and pulled out a chair for her like a gentleman.

"I hope you can keep your promise and help our partner companies overcome difficulties." Yan Jin said straight to the point.

"Of course, this is the basis of our cooperation." The man smiled and said, "I have asked someone to prepare the contract, please take a look."

Yan Jin took the contract and read it carefully. The terms of the contract were similar to what she expected. The only thing that made her uneasy was that the identity of the investor was hidden. There was only a code name written on the contract - "Mr. X".

"I can't reveal too much about the identity of the investor for now." The man seemed to see her doubts and explained, "But I can assure you that he is definitely capable of helping the partner company make a comeback."

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally signed his name on the contract.

In the evening, Xiang Yu received a message from Yan Jin, asking him to meet at the old place. The familiar coffee shop was still the familiar corner, but the difference was that there were a few more documents on the table this time.

"What is this?" Xiang Yu looked through the documents, frowning slightly.

"This is the new investment agreement of our partner company." Yan Jin said calmly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Xiang Yu quickly glanced at the contents of the agreement. When he saw the signature at the end, his pupils suddenly contracted. "Mr. X? Who is this person?"

"I don't know." Yan Jin shook his head. "The other party deliberately concealed his identity, but I can feel that he should be a very powerful person."

"Why did you agree to him?" Xiang Yu's voice was filled with anxiety. "His conditions are too harsh. This is not good for you or the Yan Group."

"I know." Yan Jin's eyes were firm and persistent. "But this is the only way at the moment. I must fight for a glimmer of hope for my partner companies and for the employees who trust me."

Xiang Yu was silent. He knew Yan Jin's character. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

"I will investigate the true identity of this Mr. X." Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, "Before that, try not to have any contact with him."

"Okay." Yan Jin nodded, but she knew in her heart that some things, once started, could not be turned back.

A few days later, at the shareholder meeting of the partner company, Mr. Huang announced a new investment plan.

"What? New investment? How come I didn't know about it?" Shareholder Liu stood up suddenly, his face livid, "Boss Huang, you'd better give us a reasonable explanation!" Shareholder Liu's sudden attack made the already tense meeting room even more tense. The other shareholders looked at each other, obviously surprised by the sudden news. Boss Huang pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then slowly said: "I know that everyone is very worried about the current situation of the company, so I have to find a way out for the company. This new investor is very powerful and has great confidence in our project. I believe that with his help, the company will be able to overcome the difficulties."

"Strong? How come I haven't heard of it? Mr. Huang, are you lying to us?" Shareholder Liu obviously didn't believe Mr. Huang's words. He walked up to Mr. Huang and asked aggressively, "Tell me, did you deliberately make up this so-called 'new investor' in order to monopolize the company's shares?!"

"You are slandering me!" President Huang slammed the table and pointed at shareholder Liu, angrily scolding, "When I worked hard for the company, you were nowhere to be found! Now that the company is in trouble, not only do you not help, but you are causing trouble instead. What on earth are you thinking?!"

"What's my intention? I'm doing this for the good of the company!" Shareholder Liu was not to be outdone and retorted, "The company belongs to everyone, not just you. What right do you have to make decisions behind our backs?!"

"Enough!" Yan Jin, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke. She stood up, glanced sharply at everyone present, and said in a cold voice, "Now is not the time for internal strife. The most urgent task is to resolve the company's crisis as soon as possible."

Although her words were brief, they were full of power, and the conference room suddenly fell silent. Yan Jin continued, "The identity of this new investor is kept secret for now, but he is indeed capable of helping the company. I have signed an investment agreement with him, and I believe that funds will be injected soon."

Yan Jin's words made shareholder Liu's face even uglier. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Yan Jin's eyes. He knew that Yan Jin had a significant influence in the company. If he continued to make trouble, he would only put himself in a more disadvantageous situation.

On the other hand, after learning that the partner company had found a new investment intention, Bank Manager Lin's attitude softened. He met with Mr. Huang and Yan Jin again, and his tone was much softer than before: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Yan, it's not that I don't want to help, but the bank has its own rules. Since you have found a new investor, then the previous loan application..."

"Manager Lin, don't worry," Yan Jin took over the conversation and said confidently, "Once the new investment funds are in place, we will give priority to repaying the bank loan."

"That's good, that's good." Manager Lin nodded repeatedly, but then changed the subject, "However, the amount of this loan is huge, and our bank also has to be responsible to the shareholders, so..."

He paused and didn't continue, but the meaning was self-evident. Yan Jin naturally understood what he meant. She glanced at Mr. Huang beside her, signaling him to be patient, and then slowly said, "Manager Lin, how about this? Tomorrow, our financial advisor and I will come to meet with you with a detailed plan for the use of funds. What do you think?"

Manager Lin did not agree immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Okay, tomorrow morning..."

Before he could finish his words, the office door was suddenly pushed open and a panting figure appeared at the door.

"Sorry, I'm late." Xiang Yu walked into the office with steady steps. His deep eyes swept over everyone and finally landed on Yan Jin, with a barely perceptible concern.

Yan Jin nodded slightly without saying anything, but her tense shoulders relaxed quietly. Xiang Yu's arrival undoubtedly gave her a shot of adrenaline.

"Mr. Xiang, why are you here?" Manager Lin was a little surprised, but there was also a hint of respect in his tone. After all, the influence of the Xiang Group was there, and no one dared to ignore it.

"I'm here to see if there's anything I can help with." Xiang Yu said calmly, but his eyes stayed on Yan Jin, as if silently asking her if she needed help.

Yan Jin looked at him gratefully, then turned to Manager Lin and said, "Manager Lin, we will come to meet with you tomorrow with a complete plan. I hope you can give us a chance."

"Okay, okay." Manager Lin nodded repeatedly. With Xiang Yu's relationship, he naturally couldn't say anything else.

After seeing off Manager Lin, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked out of the bank side by side. As the sun set, the golden afterglow shone on the two of them, as if giving them a layer of warm light.

"Thank you." Yan Jin said softly, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

"There's no need to say thank you between us." Xiang Yu looked at her, a trace of heartache flashed in his deep eyes, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Along the way, neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere in the car was not awkward. Instead, it was filled with a hint of warmth.

After returning home, Yan Jin did not rest, but immediately threw herself into work. She carefully studied the company's financial statements and worked with Zhao, the financial consultant, to develop a detailed plan for the use of funds.

"Mr. Yan, I think this business plan is very complete and should be able to meet the requirements of banks and investors." Financial consultant Zhao looked at Yan Jin with admiration in his eyes.

"I hope so." Yan Jin rubbed his brows, with a hint of worry in his tone, "I hope everything goes well."

At the same time, Xiang Yu was also working for the partner company. He used his personal connections to successfully persuade several shareholders to support the new cooperation plan.

"Mr. Huang, don't worry. With Mr. Xiang taking action, this will definitely succeed!" A shareholder patted Mr. Huang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we all believe in Mr. Xiang!" Several other shareholders also echoed.

Mr. Huang looked at Xiang Yu gratefully, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that without Xiang Yu's help, the partner company would probably be finished this time.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, but at this moment, Yan Jin suddenly received a call. On the other end of the phone, the mysterious investor made an unexpected request... On the other end of the phone, the deep male voice without a trace of emotion said: "I can provide funds, but I want controlling rights, and..." He paused, and a hint of sharpness appeared in his tone, "I want Yan Jin to withdraw from this cooperation project."

Yan Jin's fingers tightened around the phone, and a cold white light flashed through her fingertips. Silence spread in the air, like a taut string that could break at any time. After a long while, she finally found her voice, with a barely perceptible tremor in her tone: "Why?"

"No reason." The other party refused coldly, "I'll give you a day to think about it and give me an answer tomorrow morning." After that, there was a busy tone from the other end of the phone.

Yan Jin put down her phone dejectedly, her face pale and her brows furrowed. She didn't understand why such a mysterious investor would appear at this critical moment and make such an unreasonable request?

Almost at the same time, Xiang Yu also received a call from Mr. Huang. The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely anxious: "Mr. Xiang, it's bad, that investor he...he..."

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly." Xiang Yu's heart tightened and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"He said... he wants Mr. Yan to withdraw from this cooperation, otherwise he will withdraw his investment!" Mr. Huang's voice was almost crying, "This... what should we do, Mr. Xiang, you must help us!"

Xiang Yu's face turned pale instantly. He could almost imagine how embarrassed and painful Yan Jin must have felt when she received this news. On one side was the company she had worked hard to run for many years, and on the other side was the life and death of her partner. How should she choose?

"I understand. I'll take care of it." Xiang Yu's voice was low and firm, with an unquestionable power.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu immediately dialed Yan Jin's number. However, a cold, mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is busy..."

Xiang Yu's heart sank suddenly. He vaguely felt that a storm was about to come... He immediately stood up, grabbed his coat, strode out of the office, and went straight to Yan Jin's company.

"Yan Jin, open the door, let's talk!"
