Chapter 187 Clearing the clouds and revealing the sun
"Do you know, this crisis is really just an accident?" Yan Jin's voice was so soft, so soft that it was almost blown away by the wind, but it was like a huge rock, hitting Xiang Yu's heart heavily.
Of course he knew it was no accident.
During this period of time, he had been secretly investigating, trying to find out who was behind everything and wanted to kill Xiang. However, the opponent was hiding very deeply, and he could not find any clues.
"You... do you know something?" Xiang Yu's voice trembled a little, and he didn't dare to look directly into Yan Jin's eyes.
Yan Jin turned around, stared at Xiang Yu with a sharp gaze, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I know more than you think."
The next day, Yan Jin accepted an exclusive interview with veteran media reporter Lin. The interview took place in an elegant teahouse, where the sunlight from the window shone through the bamboo curtains, illuminating Yan Jin's calm face.
"Mr. Yan, do you have anything to say about the recent crisis encountered by Xiang Group?" Reporter Lin asked straight to the point.
"I believe that the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid." Yan Jin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "This crisis has made us see some people and some things clearly. But what I want to say is that the Xiang Group will not be defeated. We will face the difficulties and overcome all difficulties."
"Mr. Yan, do you have some key information about this crisis?" Reporter Lin asked, staring at Yan Jin with burning eyes.
Yan Jin put down the teacup, calmly took out a document from her bag, and handed it to reporter Lin: "This contains everything you want to know."
Reporter Lin took the document and quickly glanced through it, with a look of shock on his face. This document contained the key evidence Yan Jin had collected about the competitor and the internal scandal of the Xiang family, which was enough to subvert the entire incident.
After the interview, PR manager Qian took immediate action, compiled the evidence into a document, started a topic called "The Truth is Out" on social media, and guided public opinion, pointing the finger at the real mastermind behind the incident.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar. The public's sympathy and support for the Xiang Group quickly rose, while its competitors were caught in a huge whirlpool of public opinion.
Seeing all this, Xiang Yu felt mixed emotions. He had always thought that Yan Jin was just a cold-blooded businessman, but he did not expect that she would choose to stand by him and protect him at the critical moment.
"Why are you doing this?" Xiang Yu's voice was low and hoarse.
Yan Jin did not answer, but placed a document in front of him and said calmly: "The trial will start in three days, you'd better be prepared."
Xiang Yu picked up the document, turned to the first page, and his pupils shrank suddenly...
Three days later, the atmosphere in the court was solemn. Xiang Yu, wearing a dark suit, sat in the plaintiff's seat with a stern expression. Opposite him was the representative lawyer of his competitor, who was making the final defense.
"Your Honor, we believe that the current crisis of the Xiang Group is entirely due to its own poor management and has nothing to do with us..." The other lawyer was still talking incessantly, but was interrupted by a steady voice.
"I have an objection!" Lawyer Ma stood up calmly and handed a document to the judge. "Your Honor, we have new evidence to submit, which is enough to prove that this incident was not an accident, but a business conspiracy deliberately planned by someone."
The file bag was opened, and inside was all the evidence Yan Jin had collected over the past few days, including ironclad evidence that competitors maliciously spread rumors, bribed officials, and manipulated the market. Every piece of evidence was clear and unmistakable.
There was an uproar in the courtroom. The judge carefully read the evidence and his face became increasingly serious. Finally, the court adjourned the court session and decided to announce the verdict at a later date.
After leaving the court, Xiang Yu walked straight to Yan Jin and stared at her with complicated eyes: "Thank you."
Yan Jin smiled faintly, said nothing, just patted his shoulder lightly, and turned to leave.
In the evening, an internal family meeting was taking place in the study of the Xiang family's old house.
"This time it's all thanks to Yan Jin. If it weren't for her, our Xiang family would have been in real trouble this time!" A grandchild said excitedly, his words full of gratitude to Yan Jin.
"Yes, Yan Jin is a girl who is as capable as any man!" another grandchild echoed.
Elder Sun, who had been silent the whole time, slowly spoke, with a glimmer of appreciation in his cloudy eyes: "Yan Jin, you did a great job this time, you are worthy of being the daughter-in-law of our Xiang family."
Hearing the words "Xiang family's daughter-in-law", Yan Jin's heart trembled slightly, but she quickly concealed her emotions and just smiled faintly: "I just did what I should do."
After the family meeting, Xiang Yu sent Yan Jin back home.
"you……"
"I……"
They both spoke at the same time, yet remained silent at the same time.
Finally, it was Xiang Yu who broke the silence first. He took a deep breath and looked at Yan Jin, his eyes filled with complicated emotions: "Yan Jin, I..."
"Mr. Xiang," Yan Jin interrupted him, speaking calmly, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the house, leaving Xiang Yu standing there alone with mixed feelings.
The next day, Xiang Group held a general staff meeting. Xiang Yu stood on the stage, his eyes firmly swept over everyone in the audience, and he slowly said: "This crisis has allowed us to see people's hearts clearly and made us more united..."
His eyes fell on a thin figure in the crowd. It was Xiao Li from the Finance Department. When the company was in the most difficult times, he still stayed at his post and even took out his own savings to help the company through the difficult times.
Xiang Yu retracted his gaze and continued, "I hereby announce that all employees who stick to their posts during difficult times and make contributions to the company will be rewarded..."
Xiang Yu's voice was loud and firm, echoing in the spacious conference room. Below the stage, the employees were excited and applauded. Xiao Li from the Finance Department lowered his head shyly, but his eyes were slightly red. He recalled the difficult days, and it was the company's unswerving support that gave him the strength to persevere, and now, he finally waited for the dawn of hope.
At the same time, reporter Lin's report caused a stir on the Internet. The wind of public opinion began to change, and more and more netizens began to condemn the despicable behavior of competitors and expressed sympathy and support for the Xiang Group. Reporter Lin's report even attracted the attention of regulatory authorities, and relevant departments have intervened in the investigation, vowing to bring the mastermind behind this business conspiracy to justice.
Everything was moving in a good direction, and Xiang Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He understood that all this was inseparable from Yan Jin's help. Without the key evidence she provided, without her calm and wise analysis, the Xiang Group might have been stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate itself.
That night, Xiang Yu deliberately turned down all social engagements and drove to the downstairs of Yan Jin's house. He hesitated for a moment, and finally called Yan Jin.
"Come down, let's talk."
Yan Jin didn't seem surprised by his visit and soon appeared downstairs. The night breeze blew gently, her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her cold profile looked particularly moving under the street lamp.
"What do you want to talk about?" Yan Jin's voice was still calm, without any emotion.
"Thank you." Xiang Yu looked at her, his eyes full of gratitude and guilt, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
Yan Jin smiled faintly: "I said, I just did what I should do."
"No," Xiang Yu shook his head, "I know, I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime."
His tone was sincere, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions. Yan Jin avoided his gaze, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Xiang Yu, let the past be the past, we..."
"No, Yan Jin," Xiang Yu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "I can't let it go like this, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Yan Jin pushed him away.
"Xiang Yu," Yan Jin looked at him coldly, "We are already divorced, you should understand what this means."
Xiang Yu was stunned. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in front of him. Suddenly, a strong urge surged in his heart. He wanted to explain, wanted to save the relationship, wanted to tell her that he had fallen in love with her. However, looking at her cold eyes, all his words turned into a helpless sigh.
"Yan Jin, do you really... not love me at all?"
Yan Jin did not answer, but turned around, leaving him with a resolute back.
"Boss Yan," At this time, a black car slowly stopped in front of them. The driver got out of the car and said respectfully to Yan Jin, "It's almost time. You should leave."
Yan Jin nodded, turned around and prepared to get in the car, but suddenly stopped, looked back at Xiang Yu, and said calmly: "Mr. Xiang, I will be giving a speech at the industry summit tomorrow, I hope you can come."
After saying that, she didn't stop and got into the car.
The black car quickly disappeared into the night, leaving Xiang Yu standing there alone, unable to recover for a long time. Tomorrow? Industry summit? What did she want to do?
Chapter 187: Clearing the Clouds
The next day, the industry summit was held as scheduled.
Xiang Yu arrived at the venue early, his eyes constantly scanning the crowd, looking for that familiar figure.
Yan Jin's appearance was like a thunderclap that instantly attracted everyone's attention. She was wearing a neat black suit, with her long hair tied up, revealing her slender neck. Her every move showed elegance and confidence.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Yan Jin walked gracefully onto the stage and began her speech.
"Hello, everyone. The theme of my speech today is - building a win-win situation and maintaining fair competition." Yan Jin's voice was clear and firm, echoing throughout the venue.
She did not mention the despicable behavior of competitors too much, but focused on calling for industry self-discipline and jointly maintaining a fair competition environment in the market. She listed the various chaos that have occurred in the industry in recent years, deeply analyzed the root causes behind these chaos, and at the same time, she also proposed her own solutions.
Yan Jin's speech was logically clear, well-argued and thought-provoking, winning warm applause from the audience.
Xiang Yu sat in the audience, his eyes fixed on Yan Jin on the stage, his heart full of admiration and pride. He knew that everything Yan Jin did today was not only for the Xiang Group, but also for the development of the entire industry.
After the summit, Yan Jin’s speech video quickly spread on the Internet, attracting widespread attention and heated discussions from all walks of life.
At the same time, Qian PR also began to take action.
He planned a series of public welfare activities, such as donating to support education, helping the poor, promoting environmental protection, etc., and invited many media to report on it in order to enhance the company's social image.
Thanks to the joint efforts of Xiang Yu and Yan Jin, the public's view of the Xiang Group gradually improved, and the company's stock price began to rise.
Everything was moving in a good direction, but at this moment, Xiang Yu's phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed it was Elder Sun...
