After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

"Where's Xia Yu?"

Jiang Ye frowned, a strong sense of unease suddenly welling up inside him.

He turned and walked out of the office, grabbing Xia Yu's assistant who was about to leave work.

"Chairman Jiang...?"

The assistant stammered.

"Where is your CEO, Ms. Xia? Where did she go? Why is everything in her office gone?" Jiang Ye asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Jiang Ye ask about Xia Yu, the assistant's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She sniffed, her voice choked with emotion, and said:

"Chairman Jiang, didn't you know? Ms. Xia...she resigned."

"Resign?!"

Jiang Ye's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible! The Blue Ocean Group is the legacy left by her father. She values ​​the company more than her own life. How could she possibly resign?!"

"It's true, Chairman Jiang."

The assistant wiped away her tears, took a document from her desk drawer, and handed it to Jiang Ye.

"This is the resignation letter and indefinite leave application that General Manager Xia previously submitted to the board of directors."

Jiang Ye snatched the document and quickly glanced at it.

The signature above is indeed Xia Yu's own.

"Why?" Jiang Ye stared intently at his assistant. "What exactly happened?"

The assistant sighed, her voice filled with heartache for Xia Yu.

"President Xia has been under immense pressure lately."

"The funding chain for the Cloud Top Town project has broken down, banks are withdrawing loans, suppliers are demanding payment, and there's also the betrayal of Vice President Zhao, that mole... These things are like mountains, pressing down on President Xia and making it hard for him to breathe."

"Although you eventually stepped in and fully acquired Cloudtop Town, helping Blue Ocean Group overcome the crisis, Mr. Xia was completely exhausted."

The assistant looked at Jiang Ye, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up the courage to say:

"Chairman Jiang, actually, President Xia has always cared about you. At the banquet in Yanjing that day, she only refrained from rejecting Wang Sizhe's confession on the spot to attract investment for the project."

"Later you misunderstood her and gave her the cold shoulder. Every day she would sit in the office, staring blankly at the insulated lunchbox you used to send her, secretly shedding tears."

"The day before yesterday, President Xia suddenly handed over all his work to the board of directors and relinquished all his power."

She said she was too tired, she didn't want to be a "career woman" anymore, and she wanted to find a life of her own.

"Yesterday afternoon, she left Hanju alone, pulling her suitcase. She didn't tell anyone where she went, and even her phone was disconnected."

After listening to the assistant's explanation.

Jiang Ye stood blankly in the empty office, clutching the resignation letter tightly in his hand.

He felt as if a piece of his heart had been brutally ripped out.

Have you given up everything?

Disappeared?

That aloof female CEO who valued her career more than her life actually let go of all her pride and obsession and left without saying goodbye?

Jiang Ye walked to the French windows and looked at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening.

The neon lights of Hanju still shine brightly, but that familiar figure is no longer in this city.

He originally thought that as long as he understood and was willing to back down, there was still room for reconciliation between them.

But he was wrong.

Some missed opportunities are missed forever.

When he finally made up his mind to embrace her, she had already quietly left, exhausted and wounded.

"Oh……"

Jiang Ye looked up and let out a long sigh.

That sigh was filled with endless loneliness and self-mockery.

"never mind."

Jiang Ye closed his eyes, forcibly suppressing the surging bitterness in his heart.

"Women are just that heartless."

"They just left without saying goodbye."

Jiang Ye turned around, placed the resignation letter on his desk, and strode out of the office that no longer held Xia Yu's presence.

Since she chose to leave, since she wants to find her own life.

Then there's no need for him to keep pestering her.

Jiang Ye has never been someone who can't let go of things.

When it comes to matters of the heart, since you can't force them, just let them go.

……

In the days that followed.

Jiang Ye devoted all his energy to the Cloud Top Town project.

Since you've suffered a setback in your love life, make up for it in your career!

He wanted to use this project to prove to everyone that Jiang Ye was not only a tyrant in the capital market, but also an invincible king in industrial development!

Jiang Ye, acting on behalf of Kunlun Capital, officially took over the entire Yunding Town.

however.

When he personally led a top-notch construction and auditing team to conduct a comprehensive asset inventory at the project site.

He then realized that this plate was much harder to eat than he had imagined!

"Boss, the situation is very bad!"

Lei Heng, holding a thick stack of test reports, walked up to Jiang Ye with a livid face.

"The blind expansion in the early stages, coupled with that old fox Zhao Mingyuan secretly cutting corners and taking kickbacks."

"This has resulted in extremely serious hidden dangers in the town's underground pipe network! The drainage system is substandard, and once there is heavy rain, the entire town will turn into a vast expanse of water!"

"The expert panel's opinion was that everything must be scrapped and started from scratch!!"

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Ye's brows furrowed tightly into a deep frown.

Starting over from scratch?

This is another significant investment.

Moreover, it will require an additional massive amount of capital and time costs!

"push!"

Jiang Ye did not hesitate at all

"There's absolutely no room for negotiation when it comes to safety! Do it the way you want!"

Lei Heng nodded, but the worry on his face did not disappear.

"Boss, the hardware problems can be solved by throwing money at them. But the most critical issue right now is the town's positioning."

"General Manager Xia previously created a hodgepodge of features here."

"She wanted to create a high-end luxury resort to attract high-net-worth individuals;"

"High-end customers find this place too noisy and too low-class, and are unwilling to come; while young tourists feel that the prices here are too high and they can't afford it."

"The daily maintenance costs, labor costs, and depreciation of vacant shops in the town add up to millions! It's burning through our cash flow like crazy every day!"

"If we can't find a hotspot to attract visitors soon, this place will eventually become a ghost town!"

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, feeling unprecedented pressure.

Lei Heng is right.

Traditional commercial real estate thinking simply cannot revitalize this place.

No matter how much money you spend or how beautiful the houses are, if there isn't a "soul" that touches people's hearts, this place will always just be a dead city.

soul……

Jiang Ye muttered this word to himself.

A scene suddenly flashed through his mind.

That was the poignant folk song he heard in that remote, ancient border town, in that dilapidated underground livehouse.

The power of music that can penetrate people's hearts and bring them peace amidst the noise.

Jiang Ye's eyes suddenly lit up!

He finally understood what Cloudtop Town was missing!

What's missing is that vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere that evokes emotional resonance!

Jiang Ye suddenly turned around and strode towards the Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked by the roadside.
