After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 74 The target of public criticism
"Breaking news! Breaking news! Behind the divorce case of President Xiang and the female boss of the Yan family, there is a shocking secret!" Reporter Liu stood in front of the newsstand, shouting at the top of his voice. The front page headline of the newspaper in his hand was printed with photos of Xiang Yu and Yan Jin. The headlines were marked in bright red fonts with words such as "Family Feuds", "Marriage by Agreement", and "Division of Huge Assets", which attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Reporter Liu published a detailed report on Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's divorce case in the newspaper, making public details such as the two's agreement to marry, their cold relationship after marriage, and suspected emotional breakdown. He even fabricated some false stories to portray Yan Jin as a woman who would do anything for money.
As soon as this report came out, it immediately caused an uproar. The discussion about Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's divorce case on the Internet quickly increased, and all kinds of speculations and rumors were flying around. Many netizens attacked Yan Jin personally, accusing her of marrying Xiang Yu for money and now wanting to use the divorce to take away the property of the Xiang Group.
"I told you, there is no such thing as true love among the rich, it's just an exchange of interests!"
"This Yan Jin is too scheming, he actually wants to get something for nothing!"
"Mr. Xiang is so pitiful, being tricked into marriage by such a woman!"
……
Negative comments flooded in like a tide, drowning Yan Jin. Her phone kept receiving various abusive and cursing text messages, and some even called the company to harass her. Yan Jin looked at these vicious comments and felt chilled.
At the same time, the share price of Xiang Group was also affected by the divorce case and began to decline. Shareholder Li and several other shareholders jointly put pressure on Xiang Yu, asking him to resolve the divorce case as soon as possible to avoid further affecting the interests of the company.
"Boss Xiang, you must control the situation as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" Shareholder Li said sternly, "There are rumors out there that Yan Jin married you because she was attracted by your money, and now she wants to use divorce as an excuse to divide your property. This has a huge negative impact on the company and your reputation!"
Xiang Yu's face was gloomy. He knew that what shareholder Li said was true. This divorce case was beyond his control. If he did not take any measures, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this time, the employees of Yan Jin's company also began to panic... The atmosphere in Yan Jin's company also dropped to freezing point. The employees whispered to each other and looked towards Yan Jin's office worriedly from time to time. The previous positive working atmosphere disappeared, replaced by lingering anxiety and uneasiness.
"Hey, have you heard about the divorce between President Yan and President Xiang?"
"How come I haven't heard about it? It's going viral on the Internet! Who doesn't know that our CEO Yan is being called a 'gold digger'?"
"Oh, what a sin! A good company has now become like this..."
Rumors spread like a virus within the company, and the employees' work enthusiasm plummeted. Some customers who originally planned to cooperate with Yan's Group also began to hesitate, and some even made it clear that they would terminate the cooperation.
Yan Jin's assistant Xiao Li walked into the office anxiously, saying in a heavy tone, "Boss Yan, we received a call from Boss Wang and Boss Li. They said they want to reconsider their cooperation with us..."
Yan Jin rubbed her temples tiredly. She had expected this, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "I understand. You stabilize them first, I will handle it as soon as possible."
On the other side, in the meeting room of Xiang Group, the atmosphere was equally solemn. The shareholders all looked livid, slammed the documents in their hands heavily on the table, and expressed their strong dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu.
"Mr. Xiang, we have no right to interfere in your personal affairs, but now it has seriously affected the company's reputation and interests!" Shareholder Li slammed the table and said angrily, "You must resolve the problem between you and Miss Yan as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to convene a board meeting and reconsider your position as CEO!"
Xiang Yu's face was terribly gloomy, he pursed his lips tightly, and clenched his hands into fists. He knew that he was in trouble, but he would never allow anyone to hurt Yan Jin, even verbally.
"I will handle this matter well and give an explanation to all shareholders and the society." Xiang Yu stood up and said in a firm tone, "The meeting is adjourned."
After the meeting, Xiang Yu immediately called Yan Jin, but no one answered. He threw the phone on the table in frustration, and Yan Jin's pale face and lonely eyes kept appearing in his mind. He realized that he had to do something to save this farce and protect the woman he loved deeply...
"Prepare the car, go to Yan Group." Xiang Yu picked up his coat and strode out of the office, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness. He knew that this time, he would not let go... Yan Jin sat in the office, the traffic outside the window was busy, but the noisy sound seemed to be isolated outside, forming a sharp contrast with her silence at the moment. Assistant Xiaoli's words were still echoing in her ears. Those partners who had cooperated happily in the past were now avoiding her, fearing that they would be involved in this whirlpool of public opinion.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door. My good friend Lin Wan pushed the door open and put a cup of steaming coffee on the table. "How is it? Are you okay?"
Yan Jin forced a bitter smile, "It's not good. Many of the company's projects have been stopped, and shareholders have begun to put pressure on me, but I can't fall. I still have my employees and my company to protect."
"Have you ever thought about holding a press conference to clarify the truth about your divorce with Xiang Yu?" Lin Wan asked tentatively.
Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Silence is sometimes more terrible than gossip, and she must stand up and clear her name.
The next day, the news of Yan's Group holding a press conference made headlines in major media. Reporters swarmed the press conference, and flashlights kept flashing. Yan Jin, dressed in a neat business suit, sat on the stage with a calm expression, and told the truth about the divorce. There was no accusation, no complaint, only openness and sincerity.
However, she could not control the direction of public opinion. After the press conference, some media took Yan Jin's words out of context, interpreting her calmness as "deeply scheming" and her frankness as "hypocrisy and affectation." On the Internet, the attacks and abuses against her continued unabated.
"That's what I said. How could this woman give up her position as Mrs. Xiang so easily? It must be for the greater good!"
"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Aren't you just trying to use public opinion to gain sympathy so that you can continue to control the Xiang Group?"
Yan Jin looked at the comments online and felt exhausted. She thought that as long as she told the truth, she could calm the storm, but she didn't expect that the truth would be so vulnerable in the eyes of some people.
At the same time, Ma's competitor was sitting in his office, reading the news online, with a sinister smile on his face. "The opportunity has come!" He called his secretary, "Notify them to contact the shareholders of Xiang Group immediately and tell them that I am willing to buy their shares at a price lower than the market price..."
In the evening, Xiang Yu returned to the office tiredly. His assistant immediately came up to him and said anxiously, "Mr. Xiang, shareholder Li is here and is waiting for you in the office. He said he has something important to discuss..."
Xiang Yu rubbed his tired brows and walked into the office. Shareholder Li looked solemn and slammed a document on the table. "Look, this is the current situation of the company! The stock price has fallen, the cooperation projects have stagnated, and people are panicking! Divorce is a matter between you two, but now it affects the entire Xiang Group. What do you want us old guys to do?!"
Several other shareholders also echoed, their words full of dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu's handling of the matter. Xiang Yu flipped through the documents, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. He knew that these were all Ma's competitors behind the scenes, using public opinion to put pressure on him.
"Mr. Xiang, we have to make a decision now. The matter between you and Miss Yan must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise we can only consider withdrawing our investment to protect our own interests!" Shareholder Li said in a firm tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
After sending off the shareholders, Xiang Yu's restlessness reached its peak. He picked up his phone and wanted to call Yan Jin, but he put it down helplessly. What could he say? Was he going to let her endure the overwhelming malice and give up her dignity and career for the benefit of the Xiang Group?
On the other side, Yan Jin forced herself to cheer up and attend a charity dinner. The flash lights kept flashing, and she kept a decent smile, but it couldn't hide her inner fatigue. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a hand suddenly stretched out from the crowd and a glass of water was thrown at her.
"Wow—" Water splashed everywhere, Yan Jin closed her eyes in embarrassment, her dress was soaked, and cold water drops slid down her cheeks. There was an uproar around her, some people exclaimed, some pointed, and more raised their phones to record this "wonderful" scene.
Yan Jin tried to stay calm. She knew that any emotional fluctuations at this moment would be infinitely magnified and become a sharp weapon to attack her. She took a deep breath and was about to leave when she heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears:
"enough."
Xiang Yu pushed through the crowd and walked to Yan Jin. He took off his coat and put it on her. He looked at the crowd around him with cold eyes and asked with unquestionable majesty, "Who did it?"
