After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

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?"

The crowd was silent, but no one stood up to admit it. Xiang Yu retracted his gaze and looked down at Yan Jin, his eyes full of heartache and self-blame, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Yan Jin shook her head and said nothing, but silently pushed her wet hair behind her ears.

The next day, Xiang Group held an emergency board meeting. At the meeting, Xiang Yu made a surprising decision in front of all shareholders: he would give up 30% of Xiang Group's shares in his name to set up a special fund to support women's entrepreneurship.

"I know that many of my previous actions have hurt Yan Jin," Xiang Yu's eyes were firm and sincere, "but I hope this can express my sincerity. I hope she can understand that I love her more than anything else."

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. No one thought that Xiang Yu, who had always been strong, would make such a big concession for Yan Jin.

Yan Jin was in her office when she saw the news. She put down her phone, walked to the window, and looked out at the busy city with mixed feelings. Xiang Yu's move undoubtedly threw her a life-saving straw, and also let her see the hidden love deep in his heart.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, Yan Jin turned around, and the secretary walked in, "Boss Yan, Boss Xiang is here, he wants to see you."

Yan Jin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Let him in."

Xiang Yu pushed the door open and saw Yan Jin standing by the window. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, outlining her slender figure. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that his throat was dry and he couldn't say anything.

"Why are you doing this?" In the end, Yan Jin spoke first, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his tone.

"I just wanted to let you know..."

"I know." Yan Jin interrupted him, turned around, looked him straight in the eye, and said word by word, "Xiang Yu, I feel your feelings, but..."

"But what?" Xiang Yu's heart was in his throat. He wished he could hear Yan Jin say "I forgive you" at this moment, but he knew that things were far from that simple.

Yan Jin didn't answer, but walked to the desk, picked up a document and handed it to him, "Take a look, this is the latest financial report today."

Xiang Yu took the document and flipped through it. The headline of the report read: "Xiang's President is crazy about love, spending a fortune just to win a beautiful woman's smile?" The content of the article even exaggerated Xiang Yu's "feat" and described his marriage with Yan Jin as an exchange of interests.

"Now, the whole business world is laughing at me," Xiang Yu laughed at himself, "They all said that I was willing to sacrifice the interests of the company for a woman. It's ridiculous. How could they understand..."

"They don't need to understand," Yan Jin interrupted him, "They just need something to talk about, a reason to attack you."

Xiang Yu was silent. He knew Yan Jin was right. His move this time undoubtedly put himself at the center of public attention and gave his competitors an opportunity to take advantage of him.

As expected, the day after the report was released, Ma’s competitors began to publicize that the Xiang Group was facing “internal and external troubles” and took the opportunity to launch a series of preferential policies in an attempt to seize market share.

For a time, the stock price of Xiang Group began to fluctuate, and many partners began to adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

All of this was seen by one person. Reporter Liu, a journalist known for reporting financial news, keenly realized that there must be greater news value hidden behind this.

After making inquiries from many sources, he finally learned the inside story of Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's marriage agreement, as well as the complicated emotional entanglement between the two.

"It seems that this news is more exciting than I thought." Reporter Liu raised his lips with a meaningful smile.

He decided to tell this story to the public.

As a result, a report titled "Family Feuds of the Rich: The Truth Behind Arranged Marriages" appeared on the front pages of major media outlets.

In the report, reporter Liu detailed the whole story of Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's marriage, as well as Xiang Yu's efforts to win back Yan Jin, and interpreted Xiang Yu's "concession" as an "expression of true love."

Public opinion began to reverse, and many netizens were moved by Xiang Yu's deep affection and left messages in support of him and Yan Jin getting back together.

However, all this did not make Xiang Yu feel at ease, because he knew that the real challenge had just begun.

Shareholder Li, a veteran of the Xiang Group, came to Xiang Yu's office angrily after seeing the news.

With a bang, he threw a document in front of Xiang Yu, "This is what you did! For a woman, you put the entire company in trouble!"

Shareholder Li's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Xiang Yu's heart. He pursed his lips tightly, his face was livid, but he was unable to refute. He knew that his actions this time were indeed too impulsive and put the company in a dangerous situation.

"Mr. Xiang, you can't go on like this!" Shareholder Li slammed the table, and the other executives in the meeting room were all silent. "Look at the current stock price, and then look at the attitudes of those partners. Are you going to let the situation continue?"

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressing, and everyone could feel the anger of shareholder Li and the pressure from Xiang Yu. However, at this moment, Yan Jin, who had been silent all along, stood up.

"Mr. Li, I know what you are talking about better than anyone else." Yan Jin's voice was calm and firm, and his eyes swept over everyone present. "But I believe that everything Mr. Xiang did was for the good of the company. He just needs time and a chance to prove himself."

Yan Jin's words were like a shot of adrenaline, giving the executives, who were originally a little shaken, hope again. They began to discuss quietly, and their eyes were no longer filled with suspicion and dissatisfaction as before.

In the following days, Yan Jin carried out a series of reforms within the company with amazing efficiency and courage. She streamlined the organization, optimized the process, promoted a group of capable young people, and personally communicated with those wavering partners to stabilize their cooperative relationship.

Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin who was busy in the company, and felt mixed emotions. He knew that everything Yan Jin did was for him and for their common company. He secretly vowed to solve the crisis as soon as possible and never let Yan Jin down.

"Yan Jin, do you believe me?" Late at night, in the empty office, Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand and looked at her with burning eyes. Yan Jin didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly, with a complex expression. Xiang Yu knew that there was still an insurmountable gap in Yan Jin's heart. He had to prove with his actions that he was no longer the arrogant Xiang Yu of the past.

Xiang Yu began to work day and night, personally visiting those wavering partners and sincerely explaining to them the company's current situation and future development direction. He showed unprecedented determination and courage, and finally succeeded in stabilizing the morale of the troops.

At the same time, a report by reporter Liu once again set off a wave of public opinion. The report detailed the evidence that Ma's competitors maliciously spread rumors and suppressed the Xiang Group, and highly praised Xiang Yu's sense of responsibility and leadership in the crisis.

The direction of public opinion began to change, and more and more people began to believe in Xiang Yu and believed that Xiang Group could overcome the difficulties. Shareholder Li also showed a gratified smile on his face when he saw that the company was gradually stabilizing.

However, just when Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's relationship seemed to be turning around, the court summons broke this brief peace. The final judgment of the divorce case came down.

"In view of the breakdown of the marriage between the two parties and the non-existence of the possibility of redemption, this court hereby rules as follows: The plaintiff Xiang Yu and the defendant Yan Jin are granted a divorce..." The judge's voice echoed in the empty courtroom, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking Yan Jin's heart.

"With regard to the division of property, taking into account the validity of the prenuptial agreement between the two parties and the defendant Yan Jin's contributions to the family and the company during the marriage, this court rules..." The judge's voice continued, but Yan Jin could no longer hear it.

She felt her eyes go dark and her mind went blank. The final verdict, the division of property and the ownership of her business were extremely unfavorable to her, almost pushing her into the abyss.

Yan Jin's hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain. She slowly raised her head, staring straight ahead, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

"Yan Jin..." Xiang Yu stretched out his hand, trying to hold her, but she shook him off.

"Don't touch me!" Yan Jin's voice was hoarse and cold, like ice from the depths of hell, making people shudder. She stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out of the court, her steps staggering, but still with a sense of determination.

"Yan Jin, where are you going?" Xiang Yu's voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Yan Jin didn't answer, but just continued walking forward, as if she didn't hear his voice.

"Yan Jin!" Xiang Yu called out again, his voice a little flustered. He wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by reporter Liu.

"Mr. Xiang, let her go." Reporter Liu looked at Yan Jin's receding back and whispered, "Give her some time to calm down."

Xiang Yu watched Yan Jin disappear at the entrance of the court, and an indescribable panic surged in his heart. He had a premonition that this time, he might really lose her...
