After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. Just when Xiang Yu thought Jack would refuse outright, he finally spoke, "Aaron, to be honest, I am not satisfied with this new plan." Jack's tone was obviously disappointed, "You know what this means to us."

"I know." Xiang Yu's tone was firm, "But we have no choice, right? Rather than taking risks, it is better to play it safe. Although the new plan has reduced the profit margin, it is still within an acceptable range. Moreover, I have already begun to contact other raw material suppliers to try to reduce costs to the lowest level."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Jack sighed, "Okay, Aaron, I believe in your judgment. I will convince the board of directors to re-evaluate this plan as soon as possible. But you also have to understand that time is running out, and we must move forward as soon as possible."

"No problem, I will send you the final confirmed plan as soon as possible." Xiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Jack's words meant that the cooperation could continue.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu immediately gathered the team and informed everyone of the latest developments.

"Jack agreed to our new plan in principle, but we still need to wait for the final confirmation of their board of directors." Xiang Yu looked around at everyone, "During this period, all departments must hurry up and adjust their plans according to the new plan. The marketing department must conduct market research as soon as possible and re-formulate marketing strategies. The design department must also keep up with the progress to ensure that the product design meets the needs of the new market."

"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison, with a hint of fatigue on everyone's face, but more of determination.

In the following days, both teams entered a high-intensity work state. In order to overcome the time difference, both teams often had to work overtime, hold video conferences to discuss the details of the plan, modify the design drawings, and re-formulate the budget and schedule. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu took the lead and often worked until late at night.

One night, Yan Jin was revising a product brochure in the office when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Xiang Yu pushed the door open and walked in, holding two cups of coffee. "Haven't you rested yet?" He placed one of the cups of coffee on Yan Jin's desk.

Yan Jin rubbed his brows, took the coffee, and said softly, "The workload of adjusting the plan is greater than I imagined."

"Yeah..." Xiang Yu sat down opposite her, his eyes fell on her slightly tired face, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yan Jin raised her head and met Xiang Yu's gaze. "You too..." She paused and looked out the window. "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, do you regret it?" "Regret?" Xiang Yu's eyes were deep, as if he could see through Yan Jin to the distant past. "What do you regret?"

Yan Jin gently turned the coffee cup in her hand, the heat blurred her face, "Regret...divorcing me?"

"If I say I don't regret it, will you believe it?" Xiang Yu's tone was bitter, but with a hint of self-mockery.

Yan Jin didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly, his eyes as calm as water, without a trace of ripples.

The office fell into silence, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall, as if reminding them of the passage of time.

"In fact, we are not wrong, it's just..." Xiang Yu hesitated. He didn't know how to explain how he had been trapped in his self-righteous desire for control and habits over the years, ignoring Yan Jin's feelings and the love that had been quietly growing in his heart.

"We just chose different paths." Yan Jin took over his words, his tone calm, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him. "You chose the path you thought was right, and I chose the path that made me comfortable. There is no right or wrong, only whether it is suitable or not."

Xiang Yu nodded silently, he knew that Yan Jin was right.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Come in." Yan Jin said.

Emily pushed the door open with a hint of apology on her face, "Sorry to bother you. Mr. Jack wants to confirm the schedule of tomorrow's meeting with Mr. Xiang."

"No problem, tell him that there will be a video conference at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will attend on time." Xiang Yu turned to look at Emily, his tone returning to his usual calm.

"Okay." Emily responded, then turned to Yan Jin, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Jack asked me to convey his admiration for your professionalism. He said that your understanding of the Chinese market and your unique insights into product development have benefited him a lot."

Yan Jin smiled faintly, "Thank you, and please convey my gratitude to Mr. Jack and the entire team for their hard work during this period. I believe that as long as we work together sincerely, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve ultimate success."

"Okay, I'll definitely pass it on." Emily said with a smile, her eyes lingering between Xiang Yu and Yan Jin for a few seconds, as if she had noticed something, but she said nothing, just nodded politely, turned around and left the office.

"Emily is a very nice girl. She is responsible at work and very friendly." Yan Jin said softly as she watched Emily leave.

"Well, she is indeed excellent." Xiang Yu agreed, but his eyes still stayed on Yan Jin. "You have worked hard during this period, and you should rest early." As he said this, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait..." Yan Jin stopped him, "I have another idea about product packaging design..."

Yan Jin stood up and walked to the desk, turned on the computer, and pulled out a design draft. "I think we can add some Chinese elements, such as..."

Before she finished her words, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the company. Yan Jin looked at Xiang Yu apologetically and walked to the window to answer the call.

Xiang Yu looked at her back with a deep gaze. He knew that the "Chinese style elements" Yan Jin mentioned was just an excuse. She just wanted to use work to escape from him and the tangled emotions between them.

The person on the other end of the phone said something, and Yan Jin's brows slightly frowned, and her tone became a little serious. After a moment, she hung up the phone and returned to her desk. "There was a temporary problem in the company, and I have to go back to deal with it."

"Do you need my help?" Xiang Yu asked.

"No need, it's just a small problem, I can handle it myself." Yan Jin shook his head and picked up his coat. "Let's talk about the project tomorrow."

"Okay." Xiang Yu didn't say anything else, just watched her leave the office.

After Yan Jin left, Xiang Yu sat alone in the office, replaying every moment he had spent with her in his mind. He knew that his feelings for Yan Jin were no longer just a simple regret, but were mixed with more complex emotions, the bitterness of not being able to love, the helplessness of not being able to get what he wanted, and the regret for the past.

In the next few days, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu devoted all their energy to the work. Although some technical difficulties and resource shortages were encountered during the project, the teams from both sides worked together under their leadership to overcome them one by one.

That evening, after finishing a day's work, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu came to a coffee shop near the company, where they drank coffee and discussed the progress of the project.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period." Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin with a trace of heartache in his eyes, "You still have to worry about the company's affairs."

"It's my duty." Yan Jin smiled faintly, "But it's not easy for you to run around for this project."

"As long as I can complete this project with you, it's worth it no matter how hard it is." Xiang Yu blurted out, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained, "What I mean is that this project is very important to both of our companies. I hope we can work together sincerely and achieve success."

Yan Jin didn't expose his lie, but just smiled and said, "I believe we will."

The two chatted about work for a while, and then fell into silence at the same time.

"Have you ever thought about what would have happened if..." Xiang Yu suddenly spoke, but didn't know how to continue.

"There are no ifs." Yan Jin interrupted him, "Let the past be the past, and we all need to look forward."

"But……"

"No buts." Yan Jin interrupted him again, his tone firm, "I'm doing well now, and I hope you are too."

Xiang Yu was silent. He knew that Yan Jin was speaking from the heart. She had let go of the past and let go of him.

"I..." Xiang Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a cell phone ring. It was Jack calling and saying that he had something to discuss with him.

"Let me take a call first." Xiang Yu smiled apologetically, stood up and walked aside to answer the phone.

Yan Jin looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions. She knew that she did not have no feelings for Xiang Yu at all, but...

"Yan Jin," Xiang Yu came back after finishing the call and looked at Yan Jin with an inexplicable light in his eyes, "I have an idea..."
