After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

"Boss Yan, this is bad..." The CFO's voice was trembling, "The company's...the company's funding chain...is broken!"

Yan Jin's fingers tightened around the phone, her knuckles turning pale. She took a deep breath and tried to steady her voice, "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

The financial director hurriedly explained that a major mistake had occurred in an overseas project that the company had previously invested in, resulting in a huge amount of funds being unable to be recovered. To make matters worse, the cooperative bank suddenly unilaterally tore up the agreement and required the company to repay the loan in advance, and the huge debt was like a mountain of pressure.

Yan Jin hung up the phone, and she felt her eyes go dark. The broken capital chain meant that the company was in an unprecedented crisis. Layoffs, selling assets...all kinds of terrible consequences rolled over in her mind.

She rubbed her aching temple and tried to calm herself down. The most urgent thing was to stabilize the situation and find a solution to the problem.

However, misfortunes never come singly.

In the evening, Yan Jin dragged her tired body back home, but she was greeted by a deserted room. The table was filled with cold food, and Xiang Yu was not at home.

Since the last incident with Xiang's mother, Xiang Yu's attitude towards her has changed subtly. Although he is still okay on the surface, his care and consideration have obviously decreased a lot. Yan Jin knows that Xiang's mother must have put pressure on him behind his back.

"What has he been busy with recently?" Yan Jin asked the servant who came to clean the table.

"The master said he has an appointment tonight and will be back late." The servant replied in a low voice.

Yan Jin nodded and said nothing more. She knew that the so-called social events were mostly to accompany Xiang's mother and her friends.

Late at night, Yan Jin sat alone in her study, with the company's financial statements piled on her desk. Outside the window, the city lights were bright, but none of them were lit for her.

Exhaustion, helplessness, despair, and all kinds of negative emotions surrounded her. She felt like a lone boat struggling in the storm, but could not see a glimmer of hope.

At this time, there was a light knock on the study door, and Xiang Yu walked in, smelling of alcohol.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" When he saw Yan Jin's haggard face, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Something happened at the company," Yan Jin put down the documents in his hand and said tiredly, "I need your help."

Hearing the word "company", Xiang Yu frowned slightly, "For company matters, you should go to a professional management team, not me."

Yan Jin was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. "What do you mean?"

Xiang Yu walked to the sofa and sat down, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "I mean, I'm very tired now and need to rest. Don't bother me with these things anymore."

Yan Jin felt a chill running from her feet to her head. She stood up suddenly and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, "Xiang Yu, you..."

Before she could finish, Xiang Yu's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and immediately put on a gentle expression, "Mom, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Seeing this scene, Yan Jin's heart completely sank... Yan Jin felt as if she was slapped hard in the face, her ears were buzzing, and Xiang Yu's gentle tone was like a sharp thorn, piercing her body. She clenched her fists, her nails deeply embedded in the flesh, but she didn't feel any pain.

At this moment, the ringing of the cell phone broke the suffocating silence in the study. Yan Jin took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and answered the phone.

"Mr. Yan, there is something I must tell you." Attorney Qian's voice was low and solemn on the other end of the phone. "I received news today that Madam Xiang has been moving around recently and seems to be planning a bigger conspiracy against you."

"A bigger conspiracy?" Yan Jin's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Yes, the details are still unclear, but I suspect that she might want to take advantage of the company's current predicament and kick you out completely." Lawyer Qian said in a serious tone, "Mr. Yan, you must be careful."

Yan Jin hung up the phone, feeling cold all over. She had known how vicious Xiang's mother was, but she had never expected that she would take advantage of her misfortune and kill her.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Manager Wu walked in in a panic, holding a stack of documents in his hand, "Boss Yan, I found out something, you'd better take a look at this."

Yan Jin took the file, quickly glanced through it, and his face suddenly turned livid. These files were some internal email records of the company, which clearly showed that the heads of several departments of the company had privately contacted Xiang's mother and accepted huge bribes from her, with the purpose of creating chaos within the company and obstructing Yan Jin's decision.

"This group of traitors!" Yan Jin slammed the document on the table and stood up angrily. She never thought that Xiang's mother would reach out to the company and bribe her most trusted employees.

"Mr. Yan, what should we do now?" Manager Wu asked worriedly.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that now was not the time to be angry, and the most urgent task was to stabilize the situation and find out the truth.

"Manager Wu, make arrangements immediately to block the news. No one is allowed to leak this matter." Yan Jin ordered calmly, "Also, secretly investigate those who have contact with Xiang's mother. I want to get all the evidence of their crimes!"

"Yes, Mr. Yan!" Manager Wu took the order and left.

Yan Jin walked to the window and looked at the bustling night scene outside, but her heart was cold. The company crisis, the breakdown of marriage, the betrayal of relatives... All of this was like an invisible net that trapped her tightly and made her unable to breathe.

She knew she had to do something, otherwise she would lose everything.

Yan Jin picked up her phone and called Xiang Yu. The moment the call was connected, she took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound calm, "Xiang Yu, let's talk..."

Xiang Yu on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and was silent for a few seconds before he spoke: "What's wrong?" His voice sounded a little tired, with a hint of imperceptible panic, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

"You know about the company's affairs, right?" Yan Jin's voice was terribly calm, without any emotion.

"Hmm..." Xiang Yu responded vaguely without giving a direct answer.

"Those things were done by your mother, right?" Yan Jin asked directly without beating around the bush.

There was another silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, Xiang Yu said in a low voice: "Jin'er, my mother...she is also doing this for my own good."

"For your own good?" Yan Jin sneered, "For your own good, can you destroy my career and everything I have?"

"It's not like that, Jin'er, please listen to my explanation..." Xiang Yu wanted to explain eagerly, but was interrupted by Yan Jin.

"No need to explain, Xiang Yu, I don't want to hear your high-sounding words anymore." Yan Jin's voice was icy cold. "I just want to ask you one question, what are you going to do about this matter?"

Xiang Yu was silent. He certainly knew the seriousness of the matter and knew that he should stand on Yan Jin's side. However, how should he speak to his mother?

Yan Jin listened to the silence from the other end of the phone, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Xiang Yu, you really disappoint me."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiang Yu to say anything else, Yan Jin decisively hung up the phone.

At this time, on the other side, in the Xiang family villa, Mrs. Zhou was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and browsing her mobile phone with a smug smile on her face.

"How is it? Did things go smoothly?" Xiang's mother came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit in her hand and placed it in front of Mrs. Zhou.

"Don't worry, my dear sister, everything has been done according to your instructions." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "Now the Internet is full of negative news about that woman. I don't think she will have the face to stay in City A this time!"

"Hmph, you dare to fight me? Don't you know who you are?" Xiang's mother snorted coldly, with a sinister light flashing in her eyes, "I will make her lose her reputation and never be able to turn over a new leaf!"

Public opinion on the Internet was still fermenting, and Yan Jin's situation was becoming increasingly difficult. She seemed to be trapped in a small boat in a storm and could be swallowed up by the huge waves at any time.

However, this was just the calm before the storm, and a bigger crisis was waiting for her...

Two days later, a grand business reception was held in City A, and Yan Jin attended the reception as a special guest. She was dressed in a black dress, gracefully moving among the crowd, with her usual confident and calm expression on her face, as if nothing had happened.

However, just as she was chatting happily with a partner, a sharp voice suddenly rang out in the crowd: "Boss Yan, I heard that your business has not been going well recently. Is your capital chain broken and you are about to go bankrupt?" Yan Jin's smile froze slightly. She turned around and saw a short and fat middle-aged man looking at her with a mocking expression. He was Boss Li, who had always wanted to cooperate with Yan Group, but was rejected by Yan Jin.

"Boss Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Yan Jin quickly regained his composure and said in a cold tone, "Whether my company's capital chain is broken or not, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?"

"Haha, I'm just kindly reminding Mr. Yan so that you won't be kept in the dark." Mr. Li said sarcastically, "I heard that you have offended a lot of people recently. Be careful not to be stabbed in the back without knowing it!"

As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking, a whispering sound came from the crowd around him. Yan Jin knew that someone was deliberately spreading rumors in order to take advantage of the opportunity to bring her down.

"Boss Li, you are spreading rumors and slandering others!" Manager Wu, who was standing beside Yan Jin, stepped forward and glared at Boss Li, saying, "Please take back your words immediately, otherwise, we will reserve the right to pursue legal action against you!"

"Why, are you angry because I said it right?" Mr. Li was not afraid at all. Instead, he became even more arrogant. "I advise you to think about how to solve the crisis at hand! Hahahaha..."

After Mr. Li finished speaking, he left with a big laugh. Yan Jin stood there, her face livid, her clenched fists trembling slightly. She knew that this was just the beginning, and greater challenges were waiting for her.

After the cocktail party, Yan Jin dragged her tired body back to her apartment. She turned on the light and found a white envelope on the coffee table.

Yan Jin's heart moved. She walked over and picked up the envelope, and found that there was no signature or address on it, only a simple "Y".

Yan Jin's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated. She had a hunch that this letter might be related to her current predicament. She took a deep breath, slowly opened the envelope, and pulled out a thin piece of letter paper.

There was only one line of text printed on the letter paper:

"If you want to know the truth, come to XX Cafe, third floor, room 302."

Yan Jin stared at the address on the letter and fell into deep thought. Who sent this letter? What did they want to tell her? Could it be that someone was behind all this?

Countless thoughts flashed through Yan Jin's mind, and she finally decided to go to the appointment. Perhaps, this was her last chance.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Yan Jin appeared on the third floor of XX Cafe on time. She took a deep breath, walked to the door of Room 302, and knocked gently.

"Come in." A deep male voice came from the room.

Yan Jin pushed the door open and walked in. The room was dimly lit, with only a man sitting by the window with his back to her.

"It's you..." Yan Jin recognized the man at a glance. Her pupils shrank suddenly, and her tone was full of shock and disbelief.
