After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Chapter 114 The storm is coming

Yan Jin's phone rang at an inopportune time, and the piercing ringtone broke the tranquility of the night. The caller ID showed that it was Assistant Chen. Yan Jin took a deep breath, tried to calm down her panic, and answered the call.

"Boss Yan, this is bad. Something has happened!" Assistant Chen's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. "An important patent we applied for was first registered by a company called 'Xingyao'. They also publicly released their products. This is clearly malicious infringement!"

Yan Jin suddenly felt his eyes go dark, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Yan's Group. This patent was the result of the company's R&D team's years of hard work, the result of countless people's efforts, and was also an important strategic layout for the company's future development.

"I understand. I'll go back to the company right now." Yan Jin forced herself to calm down. After hanging up the phone, she immediately called the company's core team and convened them for an emergency meeting.

Xiang Yu, who witnessed all this, had already guessed what was going on. He walked over to Yan Jin and asked softly, "Is this a company matter? Do you need my help?"

Yan Jin raised her head, her eyes slightly red, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall. She took a deep breath and said firmly: "Yes, the company has encountered some troubles, and I have to go back and deal with it immediately."

Xiang Yu didn't ask any more questions. He knew that now was not the time to ask for details. He said decisively, "I'll go with you."

After arriving at the company, Yan Jin briefly told everyone the situation in the conference room, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Xingyao Company? I have never heard of this company. Why would they suddenly target our patents?" The marketing manager frowned, puzzled.

The technical director's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is clearly malicious plagiarism! Our patent application materials have always been confidential, how could they be leaked?"

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility," Yan Jin calmly interrupted everyone's discussion, "The most urgent task is to find a response plan to minimize the losses."

"I have asked the legal department to prepare the materials and file a lawsuit against Xingyao tomorrow morning." An executive said in a serious tone.

"Litigation alone is not enough," Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Since Xingyao dares to blatantly infringe on copyright, there must be someone backing it up..."

Before Xiang Yu finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Manager Zhou from the Public Relations Department walked in in a panic, saying in a hurried tone: "Boss Xiang, Boss Yan, something terrible has happened..."

"What's wrong? Take your time." Yan Jin signaled Manager Zhou not to be anxious.

Manager Zhou took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said, "Just now, a lot of unfavorable news about our company suddenly appeared on the Internet, saying that we plagiarized the patents of Xingyao Company and maliciously suppressed them. Now public opinion is very unfavorable to us..."

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the conference room changed their expressions. They all understood that in this era of information explosion, the influence of public opinion cannot be underestimated. If not handled properly, it may cause a devastating blow to the company.

"It seems that the other party is well prepared." Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a cold tone. He had long guessed that "Xingyao" dared to be so blatant, and there must be someone behind the scenes controlling everything, but he didn't expect that they would choose to take action at this time, and the first move would be a killing move.

"What should we do now? Our new product launch is next month. If we can't turn public opinion around in time, I'm afraid..." the marketing manager said in a heavy voice, his tone full of worry.

"Why are you panicking? Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up!" Xiang Yu interrupted the marketing manager in a sharp tone, "Manager Zhou, you should immediately contact all major media outlets and hold a press conference to clarify the facts. At the same time, collect evidence and prepare to sue those media outlets and individuals who maliciously spread rumors!"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang!" Manager Zhou took the order and left.

"Assistant Chen, please contact a lawyer immediately and prepare to sue Xingyao for infringement. Also, investigate Xingyao's background. I want to see who dares to challenge this!" Xiang Yu turned to Assistant Chen and instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Xiang!" Assistant Chen also turned around to prepare.

"Technical Director, you must immediately organize technical personnel to collect evidence of 'Xingyao''s infringement. We must let facts speak for themselves!" Xiang Yu said to the technical director again.

"Yes, Mr. Xiang!" The technical director also took action immediately.

"As for the new product launch conference, don't cancel it for now. I will ask the public relations department to do crisis public relations and try to minimize the negative impact." Xiang Yu finally said.

"Mr. Xiang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do." Yan Jin looked at Xiang Yu gratefully, tears glistening in her eyes.

"We are husband and wife. Your business is my business. Why are you thanking me?" Xiang Yu reached out and gently wiped away the tears from Yan Jin's eyes. He said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry. I'll take care of everything."

Xiang Yu's appearance seemed to give Yan Jin a reassurance, and her originally flustered thoughts gradually calmed down. She knew that in this battle, the couple must fight side by side to overcome the difficulties.

The next morning, Xiang Group issued an official statement, strongly condemning the infringement of "Xingyao" and stating that it would take legal measures to protect its own rights and interests. At the same time, Yan Group also held a press conference, announced relevant evidence, clarified the facts, and issued a stern warning to the media and individuals who maliciously spread rumors.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar... However, at this moment, Yan Jin suddenly received a call from Partner Li: "Boss Yan, I have contacted someone for you..."

Storm is coming

Partner Li's voice was a little anxious, but more determined: "Mr. Yan, I have contacted a very powerful lawyer for you. His name is Lin Feng. He is a well-known gold medal lawyer in the industry and is particularly good at handling intellectual property disputes. I have already briefly explained the situation to him. He is free tomorrow morning. What do you think..."

Yan Jin felt warm in her heart. She was touched by the generosity of her partner Li. She steadied her voice and said, "Mr. Li, thank you so much! Xiang Yu and I will visit Lawyer Lin tomorrow morning and contact you then."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin told Xiang Yu the good news. After hearing this, Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with admiration: "Mr. Li is indeed very loyal. After this matter is over, we must thank him well."

"Yes," Yan Jin nodded, "By the way, how is your investigation going?"

"The Lu Group is behind Xingyao," Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "The Lu Group has always acted in a domineering manner, and this time it seems that they are determined to target us."

"Lu Group..." Yan Jin pondered for a moment, and a figure emerged in his mind, "I understand. I will go to meet them in person about this matter."

In the next few days, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu stayed in the company almost every day, working overtime. They divided the work and cooperated with each other. Xiang Yu was responsible for investigating the details of "Xingyao" and Lu Group and collecting evidence, while Yan Jin was responsible for calming the emotions within the company, communicating with the legal team, and formulating response strategies.

After intense work, the two occasionally met in the tea room, chatted briefly, and drank a cup of coffee. As they fought side by side again and again, their tacit understanding became deeper and deeper, and their eye contact became more natural.

One night, Yan Jin was working overtime in the office when she suddenly received a text message from Xiang Yu: "Come out, I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

Yan Jin was confused, but still put on her coat and went downstairs. She saw Xiang Yu standing next to the car with a cup of hot milk tea in his hand.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Xiang Yu handed the milk tea to Yan Jin, "Fill your stomach first, I'll take you somewhere."

Yan Jin took the milk tea, and the warmth spread from her fingertips to her whole body. She asked, "Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there." Xiang Yu smiled, opened the car door, and motioned Yan Jin to get in.

The car sped along and finally stopped at a secluded mountain top. As night fell, the stars twinkled and the night view of the city was in full view.

"Are you tired? Take a break and enjoy the scenery." Xiang Yu handed Yan Jin a bottle of water.

Yan Jin took a sip of water, looked at the night scene in front of him, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you for bringing me here." Yan Jin turned to look at Xiang Yu, gratitude gleaming in her eyes.

"There's no need to thank me between you and me." Xiang Yu smiled gently and looked at Yan Jin affectionately.

There seemed to be an ambiguous atmosphere flowing between the two of them. At this moment, Xiang Yu's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking this beautiful atmosphere.

Xiang Yu glanced at the caller ID, his expression changed slightly, and he answered the phone: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Xiang, this is bad..." The anxious voice of PR Zhou came from the other end of the line, "We just found out..."

"Boss Xiang, this is bad..." The anxious voice of PR Zhou came from the other end of the line, like a bolt from the blue, "The undercover agent we planted in Xingyao... has lost contact!"

Xiang Yu's fingers tightened around the phone, and his expression changed suddenly. He lowered his voice and said sternly, "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

Zhou Gongguan's voice was a little flustered: "We had agreed to meet Lao Liu tonight to get direct evidence of Xingyao's infringement, but he hasn't shown up yet and the phone call is unreachable..."

The fingers holding the water bottle tightened slightly, and Yan Jin's heart also lifted up. She heard the seriousness of the content of the call.

After listening to Zhou Gongguan's report, Xiang Yu frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the other party had been prepared and had noticed their actions in advance.

"I understand. I will handle this matter," Xiang Yu ordered in a deep voice, "You continue to find a way to contact Lao Liu, and notify me immediately if there is any news."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and turned to look at Yan Jin beside him. She frowned and her beautiful eyes were full of worry.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yan Jin asked softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.

"It's okay, just a small problem." Xiang Yu didn't want her to worry too much, so he smiled casually, "Let's go back first, it's windy here."

Although Yan Jin had doubts in his heart, he did not ask further questions and just nodded gently. The two returned to the car and were silent all the way. The atmosphere in the car was so depressing that it was almost suffocating.

Back at Yan Jin's apartment, Xiang Yu unbuckled his seat belt, turned to look at Yan Jin, and said softly, "Don't worry, everything will pass. I will always be by your side."

His eyes were firm and gentle, as if carrying some kind of magic, which gradually calmed Yan Jin's originally anxious heart.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to force a smile: "I believe you."

Xiang Yu drove away only after watching Yan Jin walk into the apartment building. However, his expression became increasingly gloomy, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Lu Group, you better pray that you don't fall into my hands..." Xiang Yu muttered to himself, his tone full of murderous intent, and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel. He knew that a bigger storm was coming...
