After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

"Yan Jin, open the door and let's talk!" Xiang Yu's fist slammed heavily on the door, shaking the decorative paintings on the wall slightly.

Inside the room, Yan Jin's fingers turned pale as she held the phone. The screen showed a call from the mysterious investor. She took a deep breath, answered the call, and said calmly, "I have sent all the information you want to know to your email as you requested. Do you have anything else to add?"

A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of playful smile: "I will naturally read the information, but I would like to hear Mr. Yan's opinion. What do you think...what price should you pay in exchange for my investment?"

"Price?" Yan Jin sneered, "Isn't everything I've done for the company enough? Is the price you're talking about asking me to give up my years of hard work and hand it over to others?"

"For businessmen, profit is their top priority. I admire your abilities, but business is like a battlefield, where the winners take all. You are not qualified to negotiate with me now." The man's voice was cold and ruthless. "My patience is limited. I hope you can make a choice as soon as possible."

Yan Jin clenched her phone tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, almost pinching her to bleed. Outside the door, Xiang Yu's roar continued, and she seemed to be able to feel his burning gaze penetrating the door and falling on her.

"Okay, I promise you." Finally, Yan Jin made a decision.

She pushed the door open and saw Xiang Yu standing at the door with an anxious look on his face. When he saw her come out, he immediately took a step forward and wanted to hold her hand, but she dodged him calmly.

"Why are you here?" Yan Jin's voice was emotionless.

"I heard from Mr. Huang that the investor..."

"I have already agreed to his terms." Yan Jin interrupted him, her tone frighteningly calm.

Xiang Yu was stunned. He looked at the woman in front of him who had once been weak and helpless in front of him, but now exuded a powerful aura that made him feel strange and awed.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what this means?!" He grabbed her shoulders, his tone excited.

"Of course I know, but this is the only way." Yan Jin's eyes were firm, "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to give it a try."

The following week was like a purgatory for Yan Jin and Xiang Yu. They convened a board meeting and passed a resolution to accept the mysterious investor's request against all odds. Encouraged by Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, Mr. Huang regained his spirits and actively participated in the company's restructuring.

However, the funding gap is still huge, and they must find new sources of funding as soon as possible, otherwise all their efforts will be in vain.

"What did the bank say?" Yan Jin rubbed his brows and asked tiredly.

"Manager Lin said that further evaluation is needed." Xiang Yu's face was not looking good either. "You also know the current situation of the company..."

"I know. I will try my best to convince him." Yan Jin took a deep breath. "We have no way out."

The two stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city, their eyes filled with determination and resoluteness.

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knock on the office door, and Manager Lin walked in with a professional smile: "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, I have something I want to discuss with you..."

Manager Lin still had a professional smile on his face, but his tone was much more relaxed than before: "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, after our bank's evaluation, we believe that your company's current project still has great potential."

Hearing this, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu's hearts finally fell halfway. These days, they almost ran their legs off and talked their mouths off in order to get a loan from the bank, and now they finally saw the dawn of hope.

"Really? That's great!" Xiang Yu couldn't hide his excitement, but soon calmed down, "I wonder if Manager Lin has any other requests?"

Manager Lin nodded and took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over. "This is the loan agreement we drafted. Considering your company's current financial situation, we require your company to provide a more detailed repayment plan, and..." He paused, his tone became serious, "You two need to provide personal assets as collateral."

Yan Jin took the document and read it carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious. Although Manager Lin's request was harsh, it was also reasonable. After all, no bank would lend a huge amount of money to a shaky company, not to mention the risk of not being able to recover it.

"I understand." Yan Jin took a deep breath, "We will work out a detailed repayment plan as soon as possible, and we are willing to provide personal assets as collateral."

"Very good." Manager Lin nodded with satisfaction. "I believe that with your abilities, you two can lead the company through this difficult time."

After seeing Manager Lin off, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin both felt a little relieved, but they knew in their hearts that this was only the first step in a long journey and greater challenges were still to come.

At this moment, Xiang Yu's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was one of the company's shareholders, Mr. Liu. Since the company fell into crisis, Mr. Liu has been clamoring to sell his shares, and even secretly wooed other shareholders, causing a lot of trouble for Xiang Yu and Yan Jin.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, what's the matter?" Xiang Yu asked calmly. He was ready to face the other party's accusations.

However, Mr. Liu's tone on the other end of the phone was unexpectedly gentle: "Mr. Xiang, I just saw the bank's announcement. I heard that they agreed to provide a loan to the company?"

"That's true." Xiang Yu didn't say much. He didn't know what Mr. Liu was up to.

"That's good, that's good." There was a hint of relief in Mr. Liu's voice. "Mr. Xiang, I believe in your and Mr. Yan's abilities. You can definitely lead the company out of the predicament."

"You..." Xiang Yu was a little confused for a moment. Is this still the Mr. Liu who had been badmouthing the company and was eager to leave?

"I was confused for a moment and made some mistakes before. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Xiang." Mr. Liu apologized sincerely, "I have decided not to sell my shares for the time being. I will tide over the difficulties with the company!"

Before Xiang Yu could digest the news, Mr. Liu hung up the phone. Xiang Yu stared blankly at the phone in his hand, with mixed feelings for a moment. He looked at Yan Jin and found that she was also surprised.

"It seems that some people have begun to notice our efforts." Yan Jin smiled slightly, his eyes filled with confidence.

As night fell, Yan Jin's office was still brightly lit. She sat at her desk, in front of her were piles of documents and reports, and next to her was the company's newly hired financial advisor, Mr. Zhao.

"Mr. Zhao, this repayment plan..."

"Mr. Zhao, this repayment plan needs to be adjusted." Yan Jin rubbed his sore eyes and pointed to the numbers on the report. "The pressure of paying off the loan in three years is too great. We need to strive for a longer repayment period, and at the same time, we must reserve enough funds for company operations and project development."

"I understand, Mr. Yan." Mr. Zhao adjusted his glasses and said in a steady tone, "I have re-made a more detailed cash flow forecast based on the company's current financial situation and expected earnings in the next few years. Please see if it is feasible."

Yan Jin took the document from Mr. Zhao and read it carefully. The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the lights in the office reflected her focused expression. Unknowingly, several hours had passed, and Yan Jin and Mr. Zhao were still immersed in their work. The table in front of them was filled with various documents, reports and empty coffee cups.

On the other hand, Xiang Yu was also working hard for the future of the company. He drove to a high-end club, which was the meeting place agreed with the mysterious investor.

"Mr. Xiang, I've long heard of your name." A lean man with sharp eyes stood up to greet Xiang Yu. He was the representative sent by the mysterious investor.

"Hello." Xiang Yu shook hands with the other party, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Thank you for your attention to our company. We are very sincere about this cooperation."

After both parties sat down, they entered the formal negotiation phase. The conditions proposed by the mysterious investor were quite harsh, not only requiring a considerable proportion of the company's shares, but also making some demands on the company's future business decision-making power.

Xiang Yu knew the importance of this cooperation to the company, but he was unwilling to give up the control of the company easily. He calmly negotiated with the other party, analyzed the pros and cons one by one, and argued for every clause that was beneficial to the company.

The negotiation process was extremely difficult, with both sides going back and forth and refusing to give in, and the atmosphere was once deadlocked. In the end, with Xiang Yu's persistence and efforts, the mysterious investor made some concessions and agreed to give Xiang Yu greater autonomy in the company's business decisions, but at the same time also demanded more seats on the company's board of directors.

After several hours of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement. Although Xiang Yu felt tired, his heart was full of hope. He knew that as long as he could get this investment, the company would be able to overcome the current difficulties and usher in new development opportunities.

Just as Yan Jin and Mr. Zhao finalized the company's development plan and Xiang Yu returned to the company with a preliminary victory in the negotiation with the mysterious investor, the secretary knocked on the office door in a panic. She handed over a newly printed industry report, which clearly contained a news report about the mysterious investor's company suspected of financial fraud.

"Impossible!" Xiang Yu stood up suddenly, and the documents in his hand slipped and scattered all over the floor because of the excessive force. He walked quickly to the secretary, snatched the tablet from her hand, and stared at the bold headline on the screen - "Shocking! XX company is suspected of financial fraud, and many investors have lost all their money."

The atmosphere in the office instantly dropped to freezing point, and Yan Jin and Mr. Zhao were also stunned by this sudden change. They looked at each other, their faces full of shock and disbelief.

"How could this happen? We clearly already..." Xiang Yu muttered to himself, his tone full of powerlessness and frustration.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She walked to Xiang Yu, reached out and held his hand that was tightly holding the tablet, and said in a deep voice: "Xiang Yu, calm down! Now is not the time to panic. We need to find out the truth of the matter first."

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He raised his head and looked at Yan Jin firmly, "You are right. We can't lose our composure."

"Mr. Zhao, please contact the lawyer and public relations team immediately and prepare to deal with any possible crisis." Yan Jin turned to Mr. Zhao and instructed him in a decisive and calm tone, "Also, collect detailed information about this news as soon as possible. I want to know who is behind all this."

"Okay, Mr. Yan." Mr. Zhao did not dare to delay and immediately began to contact relevant personnel.

In the office, only Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were left. The air between them seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"Do you think this matter is directed at us?" Xiang Yu broke the silence, staring at Yan Jin sharply.

Yan Jin didn't say anything, but frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Her intuition told her that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There seemed to be an invisible black hand behind it, trying to push them into the abyss...

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knock on the office door, and the secretary's voice came from outside the door, "Boss Yan, Manager Lin is here."
