Chapter 177: Comeback against the Wind
"The company...something happened at the company..." Xiang Yu's voice was hoarse and trembling, as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper.
Yan Jin's heart suddenly sank. She had never seen Xiang Yu lose his composure like this. Without bothering to ask further questions, she quickly picked up the phone on the ground. The screen showed the frantic updates of messages in the company's internal group. Every sentence was like a sharp knife stabbing her nerves. "Core technology leaked", "product infringement", "stock price plummeted"...
"Calm down, Ayu, let's figure out the situation first." Yan Jin held Xiang Yu's shoulder, and her calm voice was like a sedative, bringing him back to his senses from the panic.
Overnight, the once glorious Xiang Group was in turmoil. Competitors maliciously slandered it, the media hyped it up, the company's stock price plummeted, partners withdrew their investment, and the entire Xiang Group fell into an unprecedented crisis.
Faced with this sudden blow, Xiang Yu fell into deep self-blame. He locked himself in the study, flipping through documents without sleep, trying to find a solution to the problem. Yan Jin knew that at this moment, any comfort seemed pale and powerless. All she could do was to fight side by side with him and overcome the difficulties together.
Yan Jin mobilized all resources to secretly investigate the truth of the incident. With her keen business sense and the connections she has accumulated over the years, she soon discovered that all this was not accidental, but a conspiracy carefully planned by competitors. They bribed insiders of the company, stole core technology, and forged evidence in an attempt to completely defeat the Xiang family.
"Ayu, I have got some clues. It's time for us to fight back." Yan Jin handed a document to Xiang Yu, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
The document detailed the competitor's conspiracy plan and how they implemented it step by step. Xiang Yu read it carefully, his anger burning in his heart. He immediately contacted the family lawyer and public relations team, and used his influence in the industry to invite authoritative experts to appraise the technology.
The results of the appraisal came out soon, proving that Xiang's technology was independently developed and not plagiarized. The truth was revealed, and public opinion began to reverse. Those media outlets that had once taken advantage of Xiang's misfortune changed their tune and began to report Xiang's innocence.
"Ayu, it's time to deal a fatal blow to those people." Yan Jin looked at the gradually calming storm, and a confident smile appeared on her lips. She has arranged everything, and will make the truth public at tomorrow's press conference...
"Dear media friends, thank you all for attending this press conference today..." Yan Jin stood on the stage, under the spotlight, she was calm and confident, her voice clear and firm, "Today, I will reveal a truth..."
Yan Jin stood on the stage, under the spotlight, she was calm and confident, her voice clear and firm, "Today, I will reveal a truth..." Below the stage, hundreds of eyes were staring at her, with cameras aimed at this woman who still stood tall in the storm.
"Recently, our company has encountered a series of malicious attacks. Competitors have used despicable means to steal our core technology and spread false information in an attempt to damage our reputation and disrupt the market order." Yan Jin paused, and swept his eyes across the stage, taking in all those flickering eyes. "But good prevails over evil. We have obtained solid evidence and will protect our rights and interests through legal means!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of evidence began to play on the big screen, including internal emails from competitors, technical comparison documents, witness testimonies, etc. Each item was clear and powerful, exposing their conspiracy. There was an uproar in the audience, and the reporters pressed the shutter frantically, fearing to miss any details.
"In addition, I have an exciting announcement to make!" Yan Jin raised her voice and smiled confidently, "My company is about to launch a revolutionary new product that will subvert the entire industry and bring consumers an unprecedented experience!"
The screen switched and a well-made product promotional video made its stunning debut. Cutting-edge technology, user-friendly design, and powerful functions all demonstrated the innovation ability and ambition of Xiang Group. The reporters in the audience watched intently, their hearts full of expectation and curiosity.
After the press conference, lawyer Ma formally filed a lawsuit on behalf of Xiang Group, demanding that the competitor compensate for the huge economic losses and make a public apology. As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and this business war escalated again, becoming the focus of attention from all walks of life.
At the press conference, the noise faded away, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu stood side by side, watching the lights gradually light up outside the window. "We succeeded." Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand, with a hint of fatigue in his tone, but he couldn't hide his inner excitement.
"It's not over yet," Yan Jin turned to look at him with a firm gaze, "This is just the beginning..." Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked out of the venue side by side, exhausted but unable to cover up the joy of victory. They fought beautifully in this battle!
"Next, it depends on the money of public relations." Xiang Yu rubbed his eyebrows, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.
Yan Jin nodded. Qian's public relations ability was beyond doubt. He had put all his efforts into this crisis public relations. The press conference was just the first step. Next, he wanted to show the public a stronger and more trustworthy Xiang family.
Qian PR lived up to their expectations. He planned a series of publicity activities without stopping: inviting authoritative media to visit the company's latest laboratory to showcase the most cutting-edge technological achievements; cooperating with well-known universities to set up special scientific research funds to attract outstanding talents; holding large-scale charity events to give back to the society and establish a good corporate image...
Public Relations Manager Qian is well aware of public psychology. He turned the "crisis" into an "opportunity", not only successfully restoring the company's reputation, but also enhancing the brand value, allowing the Xiang Group to achieve transformation in adversity.
At the same time, Elder Sun, who had always been critical of Yan Jin, also saw her ability and responsibility through this incident.
"I didn't expect this girl to be so capable." Elder Sun looked at Yan Jin who was talking eloquently on TV, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"She has always been excellent." Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in his tone.
Elder Sun turned to look at him, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes: "Do you really want to live a good life with her?"
Xiang Yu didn't say anything, but nodded firmly. He knew that he had missed too much, but now, he would prove everything with his actions.
Seeing Xiang Yu's attitude, Elder Sun sighed and said earnestly: "It's not easy for the Xiang family to get to where they are today. You young people should learn to cherish..."
A few days later, competitors were forced to respond under pressure from public opinion and legal sanctions...
... A few days later, under pressure from public opinion and legal sanctions, the competitor had to publicly apologize and compensate Xiang's company for its losses. This business war ended with Xiang's complete victory.
When the dust settled, in the CEO's office on the top floor of Xiang's Building, the setting sun cast a golden glow through the French windows. Xiang Yu stood by the window, overlooking the entire city, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
"Thanks to you this time." Xiang Yu turned around and looked at Yan Jin who was sitting on the sofa flipping through documents, with a hint of gratitude in his tone.
Yan Jin closed the file, and a smile appeared on his cold face: "There is no need to talk about this between us."
"No, I have to say it." Xiang Yu walked over to sit beside her, his eyes gentle but firm, "Jin, thank you for always being with me."
Yan Jin was stunned for a moment, then avoided his gaze and said lightly: "I just did what I should do."
"No, you have done far more than the duties of a partner." Xiang Yu held her hand, with a hint of guilt in his tone, "I was really blind before and missed such a good person like you."
Yan Jin wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly. She sighed and looked up at him with a hint of mixed emotions in her eyes: "Xiang Yu, everything is over, we..."
"Jin," Xiang Yu interrupted her and looked into her eyes lovingly, "Give me a chance to pursue you again, okay? I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you."
Yan Jin was silent. She didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, the phone, which had been silent all the time, suddenly rang. Yan Jin glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Lawyer Ma calling.
"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, good news!" Lawyer Ma's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, "The court has issued a verdict, rejecting all appeals of the Wang Group and upholding the original verdict!"
"That's great!" Xiang Yu and Yan Jin smiled at each other, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
"There is another good news," Lawyer Ma paused, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Congratulations to both of you! The stock market has responded enthusiastically to our victory this time. Xiang's stock price has reached its daily limit!"
A brilliant smile finally broke out on Yan Jin's face. She turned to look at Xiang Yu, her eyes sparkling with a moving light.
"Xiang Yu," she said softly, with a hint of firmness in her voice, "I'm pregnant."
Xiang Yu was stunned. He wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"What did you say?"
"I said," Yan Jin looked at him and said word by word, "I'm pregnant, our child."
Xiang Yu's face was filled with ecstasy. He hugged Yan Jin and spoke incoherently with excitement: "Really? Is this true? I'm going to be a father?"
Yan Jin was held tightly in his arms, feeling the violent heartbeat from his chest, with a happy arc on the corner of her mouth.
The light of the setting sun stretched their shadows very long, as if indicating that their future path would be full of light and hope.
However, in the midst of joy, no one noticed that a subtle complex emotion flashed across Yan Jin's eyes...
"By the way, Jin," Xiang Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Have you thought of a name for the child?"
Yan Jin looked down at her belly, her eyes gentle but firm: "I've thought about it, if..."
