After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

The document that Yan Jin's lawyer produced was like a huge rock dropped into a calm water surface, causing a thousand waves. A buzz of discussion rang out in the originally silent courtroom, and everyone's eyes were focused on the document, as if it was some mysterious treasure.

"This evidence is..." The judge took the document, read it carefully, and frowned slightly.

"Your Honor, we just got this piece of evidence. It's a surveillance video that records a meeting between the personnel of Wu's competitor's human resources and marketing companies. In the video, they discussed in detail how to spread false information about our company through the Internet, and how to guide public opinion in an attempt to completely destroy our company." Yan Jin's lawyer spoke in a steady but powerful tone, and every word sounded like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's eardrums.

As the lawyer finished speaking, the courtroom was in an uproar. Reporters raised their cameras, flashes flashing, trying to record this dramatic scene. Wu's competitor in the dock had a pale face, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his lips trembled, and he wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say a word.

"Objection! The authenticity of the evidence submitted by the other party is questionable. We demand verification!" The lawyer of Wu's competitor's personnel department stood up hurriedly and spoke loudly, trying to save the situation.

"The court will verify the authenticity of the evidence." The judge said expressionlessly, handing the document to the clerk, "Please play the video evidence."

The lights in the courtroom dimmed, and the surveillance video began to play on the big screen. In the video, Wu's competitor's HR and several strange men and women were sitting in a cafe. Their expressions were serious, and they gestured from time to time, as if they were plotting something. Although the video had no sound, it was clear from their lip movements and expressions that the content of their conversation was exactly how to frame Yan Jin's company.

After the video was played, the courtroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. All eyes were focused on Wu's competitor, with anger, contempt and ridicule.

"I...I..." Wu's competitor was speechless, but unable to refute. His carefully planned lies were ruthlessly exposed in the face of hard evidence. At this moment, he was like a stray dog, in a miserable state.

"Does the defendant have anything else to say?" The judge banged the gavel, breaking the silence.

"I...we just..." The lawyer of Wu's competitor's human resources wanted to struggle further, but was stopped by the judge's stern look.

"The facts are very clear. The defendant's actions constitute the crime of commercial defamation. You will be severely punished by law." The judge's tone was majestic and left no room for doubt.

After hearing the judge's words, Wu's competitor collapsed completely in his chair. He knew that he was finished.

"Next, please allow the plaintiff's representative to speak." The judge said, turning his gaze to Yan Jin.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and slowly stood up. Her eyes swept over everyone in the courtroom and finally stopped in front of the judge. "Your Honor, members of the jury, as a representative of the company, I would like to tell you a story here, a story about dreams, struggles, and protection."

Her voice was clear and firm, echoing in every corner of the courtroom. "A few years ago, we started from scratch with a dream in our heart. We built the company from scratch, from small to large, step by step, and developed it to what it is today. We have experienced countless ups and downs and overcome countless challenges, but we have always adhered to our original aspirations, operated with integrity, and given back to society with high-quality products and services."

Yan Jin's eyes swept over the familiar faces in the audience, the colleagues who had fought side by side with her, their eyes were full of worry and expectation. "This unwarranted slander has not only caused huge economic losses to our company, but more importantly, it has hurt the feelings of every employee in our company and shaken their trust in the company. This is something we absolutely cannot tolerate!"

At this point, Yan Jin's voice became even louder and more powerful. "We are here today not for revenge, but to seek justice, to uphold the dignity of the law, and to protect all those who, like us, have watered their dreams with sweat and blood!"

As soon as Yan Jin finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the courtroom, which lasted for a long time. The company employees in the audience were even more excited, with tears in their eyes, and they were proud of their leader and the company they protected together.

"The plaintiff's representative's speech was very interesting." The judge knocked the gavel and signaled everyone to be quiet. "Next, please allow the defendant's lawyer to present his defense."

The defendant's lawyer wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but he found that he was faced with overwhelming evidence and was completely helpless.

At this time, Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, stood up. He was wearing a black suit, and his tall figure looked particularly majestic under the lights of the court. He swept his sharp eyes across the defendant's seat, and his tone was cold and intimidating. "As a businessman, I am well aware of the cruelty of commercial competition, but no matter how fierce the competition is, we should abide by the law and business ethics, and should not use such despicable means to maliciously slander competitors and damage the interests of others."

"The defendant's behavior not only seriously violates laws and regulations, but also tramples on the principle of fair competition and blasphemes business ethics. It will definitely be severely punished by law!" Xiang Yu's voice was loud and clear, and every word was like a hammer hitting the heart of everyone present.

The atmosphere in the courtroom became more solemn. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiang Yu, shocked by the powerful aura emanating from him.

"Does the defendant have anything else to say?" the judge's voice sounded again.

Wu's competitor and his lawyer in the dock looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

"Since the defendant has nothing to say..." The judge banged the gavel, "The verdict of this case will be announced on a later date. Court is adjourned!"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the courtroom. The company employees in the audience surrounded Yan Jin, their faces filled with the joy of victory.

"Boss Yan, we are sure to win!"

"Justice will be served!"

Yan Jin showed a hint of a smile on his face, but he remained calm, "This battle is not over yet. All we have to do is wait for the final verdict."

Xiang Yu walked up to Yan Jin, with a hint of appreciation in his deep eyes, "You did a great job."

"Thank you." Yan Jin looked at him with a firm look in his eyes, "We will definitely win this lawsuit."

During the recess, Wu's competitor and his lawyer were surrounded by reporters. The flashing lights and sharp questions made it impossible for them to hide. Wu's competitor looked livid and said nothing. He left the court in a panic under the escort of security guards.

Not long after, Wu's rival HR approached Xiang Yu and tried to reduce the punishment through private settlement.

"Mr. Xiang, I was possessed by the devil in what happened before. I am willing to apologize publicly and compensate for all the losses. I only ask that you can show mercy..." Wu's competitor's HR pleaded humbly.

Xiang Yu looked at him coldly, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes, "Do you regret it now? When you maliciously slandered me, did you ever think that this day would come?"

"I..." Wu's rival personnel was speechless.

"Mr. Wu, you should understand that there are some mistakes that cannot be made. If you make a mistake, you must bear the corresponding price." Yan Jin's voice was cold and firm, without a trace of emotion. "We will not accept any form of settlement. We will fight this lawsuit to the end and let the law punish your evil deeds!"

Wu's competitor's HR looked pale, he knew that he was completely finished.

After seeing off Wu's competitors, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin returned to the office.

"What are you going to do next?" Xiang Yu asked.

Yan Jin walked to the French window, overlooking the entire city, with a gleam in her eyes. "Although we have the upper hand in this lawsuit, the other party will definitely not give up. We must be fully prepared..." Her voice was low and firm, "I want to let those who have bad intentions understand, -"

"Understand what?" Xiang Yu asked.

Yan Jin turned around, his eyes sharp, "Understandably, if you try to move us,——" "Understandably, if you try to move us, it's like hitting a rock with an egg!" Yan Jin spoke each word with a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt.

Xiang Yu looked at the confident woman in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yan Jin, who used to be strong, rational and almost ruthless in his eyes, now showed such a strong aura and courage. He had to admit that he underestimated her and missed too much.

"You're right, we have to make them pay the price!" Xiang Yu walked to Yan Jin with a firm look in his eyes.

In the following days, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu did not slack off at all. They worked overtime, sorted out evidence, contacted witnesses, and strived to make the final judgment foolproof. Yan Jin calmly analyzed the case and formulated strategies. Her professionalism and meticulousness impressed Xiang Yu.

However, just when they thought victory was in sight, bad news came from within the company.

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, something has happened!" The marketing manager rushed into the office, sweating profusely. "We have received calls from several customers saying that because of the previous rumors, they have lost trust in our products and are demanding a return and compensation for their losses..."

Yan Jin frowned slightly. She had expected that the other party would not give up, but she did not expect that they would take action at this critical moment. She quickly calmed down and asked, "What is the specific situation? How many customers have requested returns?"

"So far, more than a dozen customers have requested returns, involving a sum of more than 10 million..." The marketing manager's voice trembled a little, "and..." He paused, as if hesitating about something.

"And what?" Xiang Yu asked in a deep voice, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Moreover," the marketing manager took a deep breath, "there are a lot of negative comments about the quality of our company's products on the Internet," he handed the tablet to Yan Jin, "Look, these comments have only appeared in the past few days. It's obvious that someone is behind this..."

On the screen, one glaring comment after another came into view, "black-hearted company," "poor product quality," "firmly boycott," ... These comments spread rapidly on the Internet like a virus, causing great damage to the company's reputation.

Yan Jin tightly grasped the tablet in her hand, her knuckles turning white. She knew that this was the opponent's final counterattack and also the most insidious move. They not only had to win the lawsuit, but also restore the company's reputation in order to completely crush the opponent's conspiracy...

"Notify the public relations department to immediately initiate the crisis public relations plan and control public opinion," Yan Jin made a prompt decision. "Also," she paused, "notify all senior executives to hold an emergency meeting in ten minutes!"

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, the calm before the storm, foreshadowing that a bigger storm was coming...
