After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

"I have an idea..." Xiang Yu returned to sit opposite Yan Jin, his eyes gleaming, "Maybe outside of work, we can try some more relaxed ways of communication."

Yan Jin frowned slightly, not quite understanding what he meant. Xiang Yu continued, "I propose that our two companies jointly organize a cross-cultural exchange event to give team members from both sides the opportunity to enhance their understanding in a relaxed environment. What do you think?"

Yan Jin pondered for a moment. This proposal was unexpected, but also reasonable. During this period, although the two teams cooperated well in work, they did not interact much in private. A relaxed cultural exchange might really break the deadlock and establish a deeper trust relationship.

"You can try." Yan Jin finally nodded.

Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with joy, and he immediately called Jack, told him the idea, and invited him and Emily to participate in the planning. Jack readily agreed, saying that they were very willing to learn about Chinese culture and share their culture.

In the following days, the teams of both sides were engaged in intense and expectant preparations. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were no exception. They discussed the theme of the event, the design process, and the selection of venues together... Every collaboration was like an invisible thread that brought the two closer together.

Finally, on a sunny weekend, this unique cross-cultural exchange event kicked off at a resort in the suburbs. Yan Jin wore a simple and elegant dress with her long hair tied up, looking intellectual and charming. Xiang Yu wore a casual suit, less fierce than usual and more friendly.

"I've never tried writing with a brush. It's amazing!" At the event, Emily held a brush in her hand and practiced calligraphy on rice paper seriously, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Not far away, Jack was learning to make dumplings with great interest. Although his technique was a little clumsy, his face was filled with a happy smile... Yan Jin and Xiang Yu shuttled among the crowd, chatting and laughing with everyone. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

"It seems that you have been prepared for this." Yan Jin picked up a glass of champagne on the table, handed it to Xiang Yu, and looked at him with a smile.

Xiang Yu took the wine glass and clinked it with hers gently. There was a hint of tenderness in his deep voice, "I just want to do it for you..."

"What do you want for me?" Yan Jin raised his eyebrows, with a hint of inquiry in his bright eyes.

Xiang Yu stared into her eyes with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see into her heart. His thin lips moved slightly, but in the end he just smiled faintly and swallowed the rest of the sentence. "Nothing, I just hope that everyone can enjoy this event."

Yan Jin did not ask any further questions. She raised her glass elegantly, took a sip of the champagne, and an intriguing curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

In the following activities, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu put aside their usual restraint and devoted themselves to interacting with foreign friends. They taught Jack and Emily how to use chopsticks and learn simple Chinese greetings; Jack and Emily enthusiastically shared the customs and habits of their country and invited Yan Jin and Xiang Yu to visit their country if they had the chance.

Amidst the laughter and joy, the distance between the two groups of strangers gradually disappeared.

Yan Jin discovered that Jack, who was usually serious, was actually a humorous person in private. He could always make everyone laugh with some exaggerated body language and funny expressions. Emily, who always gave people a gentle and quiet impression, actually had a lively and cheerful side. She was full of curiosity about Chinese culture and kept asking Yan Jin various questions.

Xiang Yu got to know Jack better during his communication with him. He found that Jack was not only a shrewd businessman, but also a person who loved life and valued family. They talked about their hobbies and their expectations for the future, and they felt that they had met too late.

As night fell, the bonfire party began. The blazing bonfire lit up half the sky and the faces of everyone present. Everyone sang and danced around the bonfire, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu sat side by side by the campfire, feeling the warm firelight and the cheerful atmosphere. At this moment, the gap between them seemed to melt away little by little with the dancing flames.

"Tonight's event was a great success," Jack walked over to them with a happy smile on his face, "I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."

"Me too," Yan Jin said sincerely, "Thank you, Jack, and Emily, you made us feel the warmth of home."

"I'm glad you like it." Jack's eyes lingered between Yan Jin and Xiang Yu for a moment, and then he said meaningfully, "Actually, I have another idea..."

"Oh? What is it?" Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"My wife and children have been wanting to meet you. I wonder if you two would have time to come to my house and have a simple meal together tomorrow at noon?" Jack made a sincere invitation with some expectation in his eyes.

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. They both understood that Jack's invitation was not just out of courtesy, but also a signal of goodwill and deepening mutual understanding.

The lunch on the second day was more relaxing and enjoyable than expected. Jack's wife was a gentle and virtuous housewife. She prepared a sumptuous American home-cooked meal for the guests from afar. The children were lively and cute, chattering around Yan Jin and Xiang Yu about all kinds of interesting things.

At the dinner table, everyone chatted about everything from cultural differences to children's education, from their travel experiences to their visions for future life, with constant laughter. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu also let go of their usual guard and showed their real and vivid side. Yan Jin told the children Chinese fairy tales, and the children listened with great interest and exclaimed from time to time; Xiang Yu and Jack talked about football, from the team to tactics, and the two got along better and better, as if they were old friends for many years.

After dinner, the children took Yan Jin and Xiang Yu to the yard to play. The sun shone on the lawn, and the children's silver bell-like laughter echoed in the air. Everything seemed so warm and beautiful.

"It seems that this cross-cultural exchange activity was very successful." Xiang Yu looked at the harmonious picture in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes," Yan Jin nodded, "I think there is still great hope for our cooperation."

"Jingle Bell……"

A rapid phone ring broke the silence. Xiang Yu took out his cell phone and his expression changed slightly when he saw the caller ID.

"What's wrong?" Yan Jin noticed his abnormality and asked softly.

"It's Thomson..." Xiang Yu took a deep breath and answered the phone, "Hello, Mr. Thomson..."

Thomson's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Xiang, I think we need to talk about cooperation again..."

Yan Jin's heart tightened slightly. She felt vaguely that things were not going as smoothly as she had imagined...
