Yan Jin rubbed her aching temple. Lawyer Qian's words were undoubtedly a life-saving straw, but they were also like thorns that made her dare not touch them easily. "Lawyer Qian, tell me, what's the solution?"

"I noticed an emerging technology company. The smart home system they developed has great market prospects. If Yan's can get the agency rights, it may open up a new situation." Lawyer Qian said cautiously, "However, this company has just started, its foundation is not stable, and..."

"And what?"

"And I heard that they seem to have problems with their capital chain. It's still unknown whether they can hold on."

Yan Jin was silent. She understood Lawyer Qian's concerns. Cooperating with such a company was undoubtedly a gamble. If they won, Yan's might be able to come back to life. If they lost, they might be doomed.

"I understand. I will seriously consider it." Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin leaned on the sofa tiredly. At this moment, Xiang Yu pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Yan Jin's haggard appearance, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.

"I heard that you went to see Lawyer Qian?" Xiang Yu's tone was indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.

Yan Jin hummed calmly and said nothing.

"I advise you not to waste your energy," Xiang Yu walked to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of whiskey, "No one can save Yan's current situation."

"What do you mean?" Yan Jin raised his head suddenly and stared at him sharply.

"What I mean is that you'd better face reality and stop struggling in vain." Xiang Yu drank the wine in one gulp, his tone cold, "You should know that I am the only one who can save the Yan family now."

"You?" Yan Jin sneered, "What can you use to save me? Your mother's charity?"

"You!" Xiang Yu's face darkened and he was about to get angry but was interrupted by Yan Jin.

"Xiang Yu, I tell you, even if Yan's goes bankrupt, I won't beg you!" Yan Jin stood up with a firm look in his eyes, "I will rely on my own strength to protect everything that belongs to me!"

Looking at Yan Jin's resolute back, Xiang Yu's fingers holding the wine glass turned white, and he felt an inexplicable irritation and uneasiness in his heart. It's not that he didn't think about helping Yan Jin, but his mother was pressing him step by step, and he had no time to care about anything else.

"Mr. Yan, have you really decided?" Attorney Qian's voice on the other end of the phone was a little worried. "The situation of this company is more complicated than I thought..."

Yan Jin took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "I know, but I have no choice."

Yan Jin hung up the phone, and Lawyer Qian's worries echoed in her ears, but she had no way out. This was a big gamble. If she won, Yan's would be able to come back to life; if she lost, it would just be an early declaration of bankruptcy.

She contacted the person in charge of the emerging technology company overnight - a young man named Lin Feng. Lin Feng looked energetic and confident in his product. He talked endlessly about the advantages and market prospects of the smart home system to Yan Jin. Yan Jin listened and observed Lin Feng carefully, trying to capture more information from his words and deeds.

The negotiation process went more smoothly than Yan Jin had imagined. Lin Feng seemed eager to find a partner and quickly agreed to the conditions proposed by Yan. On the day of signing the cooperation agreement, Yan Jin felt a little uneasy, but she told herself that this was the only chance and she had to seize it no matter what.

However, after the cooperation started, Yan Jin gradually found that this company was far from being as simple as it seemed. First of all, there was the problem of funds. The company's accounts were in disarray, the flow of funds was unclear, and several payments were delayed. Secondly, there was the product quality. Although the smart home system had novel functions, it encountered many problems in actual testing, and user feedback was not optimistic.

Yan Jin began to wonder if she was deceived by Lin Feng's elaborate lies. She sent people to investigate the company, but found that the truth behind it was more complicated. The reason why Lin Feng's company was able to rise so quickly was because it received support from a mysterious venture capital institution, but the background of this institution could not be verified.

"Boss Yan, what should we do now?" Manager Wu asked anxiously, "If we continue to cooperate, I'm afraid it will drag Yan's into a deeper quagmire."

Yan Jin's face was solemn. She knew how dangerous the current situation was, but it was too late to withdraw now. She had already placed all her bets on this cooperation. If she gave up now, it would be like destroying the last hope of the Yan family.

At this moment, Yan Jin's phone rang, and the caller ID showed that it was Xiang's mother. She took a deep breath and answered the call. Before she could say anything, she heard Xiang's mother's sarcastic voice coming from the receiver: "Yan Jin, I heard that you recently cooperated with a small, second-rate company. What's going on? Are you giving up? I advise you..."

Yan Jin's fingers holding the phone gradually tightened, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she seemed not to feel any pain. She stared coldly ahead and said word by word, "None of your business is my business."

Mother Xiang was speechless after hearing Yan Jin's words and hung up the phone in a rage. Of course, she would not give up and immediately called Mrs. Zhou, exaggerating the cooperation between Yan Jin and the emerging technology company into a "business scandal", claiming that Yan Jin was willing to risk the entire family business for personal gain.

Mrs. Zhou was immediately excited when she heard this. She had long disliked Yan Jin, wondering why a girl of ordinary origin could marry into the Xiang family and occupy the position of the wife of the president of the Xiang Group. Now that Yan Jin's company was in trouble, it was a good opportunity to add insult to injury.

"Ayu, listen to me, you have to take care of Yan Jin's affairs. She is cooperating with that company now, which is simply pushing Xiang's into the fire pit!" Mrs. Zhou took the opportunity to have afternoon tea with Xiang Yu and pretended to be heartbroken and persuaded, "Think about it, if that company is really like your mother said, with a broken capital chain and problems with its products, then Yan Jin will be unlucky if she brings them in? By then, the interests of the entire Xiang family will be lost!"

Although Xiang Yu had heard about Yan Jin's recent situation, he did not take it to heart. In his opinion, Yan Jin has always been a very capable woman who can handle her own affairs. But Mrs. Zhou's words were like a stone that stirred a ripple in his calm heart.

"I will take care of this matter." Xiang Yu put down the teacup in his hand and said indifferently.

Mrs. Zhou saw that Xiang Yu did not completely believe her words, and her eyes rolled. She said, "Ah Yu, I know you have always trusted Yan Jin, but she is a woman after all. It is inevitable that she will be emotional and make wrong judgments in the business world. As her husband and the president of Xiang Group, you must stand up at this time to protect her and the interests of the entire family."

Mrs. Zhou's words hit Xiang Yu's soft spot. Although his feelings for Yan Jin were complicated, it was undeniable that he still cared about her and didn't want to see her fail. The Xiang Group was a business he had devoted all his efforts to, and he would never allow anyone to destroy it.

Xiang Yu fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou raised her lips with a barely perceptible sneer. She knew that she had achieved half of her goal.

On the other side, Yan Jin was holding an emergency meeting in the company, trying to stabilize the morale of the troops. However, facing the questioning eyes and whispers of the employees, she felt unprecedented pressure.

"Mr. Yan, do we really want to continue cooperating with that company? I heard..." A department manager hesitated to speak.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and was about to explain when the office door was suddenly pushed open and a familiar figure appeared at the door...

"Mr. Yan, do we really want to continue cooperating with that company? I heard..." A department manager hesitated to speak. The people around him cast the same anxious glances, and the air in the conference room seemed to freeze.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and was about to explain when the office door was suddenly pushed open. A tall figure appeared at the door and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

"Sorry, I'm late." Xiang Yu's tone was as calm as ever, but it couldn't hide the anxiety in his eyes. He walked straight to Yan Jin, gently held her hand, gave her a comforting look, then turned to face everyone, his voice low but full of power, "I know everyone is very worried about the current situation of the company. As the president of Xiang Group, I assure you that Yan Group will be fine, and I will face it with you all."

Xiang Yu's appearance undoubtedly gave everyone present a shot of confidence. The employees' originally wavering hearts seemed to have found a glimmer of support in this short sentence. However, Yan Jin felt mixed emotions. They used to be a couple that everyone envied, but now they had to stand together in this way and face the storm together.

After a short silence, Manager Wu was the first to break the silence, "Boss Xiang, do you really believe that there will be no problems with Boss Yan's cooperation with that company? The rumors about that company are really..."

"I believe in my own judgment, and I believe in her even more." Xiang Yu interrupted Manager Wu and looked at Yan Jin firmly, "I believe that every decision she made has her reasons."

After the meeting, Yan Jin sent Xiang Yu to the door of the office, and there was an indescribable silence between the two.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Yan Jin broke the silence, his tone calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Xiang Yu looked at the woman in front of him who was pretending to be strong, and his heart ached. He wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her that he would protect her forever, but he was not qualified.

"Yan Jin," Xiang Yu's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of pleading, "Let me help you, okay?"

Yan Jin smiled bitterly and was about to refuse, but heard a strange voice behind him:

"Boss Yan, I have something important to tell you about emerging technologies..."
