After interviewing several bigwigs, the next segment was to interview Shen Qinghan.

"Hello, Mr. Shen."

A female reporter was the first to hand the microphone to Shen Qinghan, asking, "As we all know, Cloud Top Town is a landmark project for Hanzhou over the next five years. As a long-established enterprise in Hanzhou, what are your thoughts on this project? And if the Shen Group were to participate, what advantages would it bring?"

Shen Qinghan was determined to make a big splash today.

She straightened her back and put on a professional smile.

"Regarding the Genting Town project, I believe it is a very forward-thinking and brilliant idea."

Shen Qinghan spoke eloquently to the camera: "If the Shen Group is fortunate enough to cooperate with Kunlun Capital, we will fully leverage our historical foundation as a local enterprise. We will dedicate ourselves to integrating the upstream and downstream industrial chains to form a perfect business loop. At the same time, we will utilize diversified matrix thinking to empower the Yunding Town project, achieving resource integration and ecological co-construction, ultimately reaching a win-win situation..."

Shen Qinghan rattled off a whole bunch of things in one breath.

What about "underlying logic," "business closed loop," "matrix thinking," "ecosystem empowerment," etc.?

She piled up all sorts of sophisticated internet and business terms, making them sound very professional and profound.

After speaking, Shen Qinghan gracefully handed the microphone back to the reporter, raising her chin slightly.

She was extremely satisfied with her speech. She felt that she had perfectly demonstrated the demeanor of a powerful woman in front of the top business elites in all of Hanzhou.

A round of applause did indeed erupt from the audience, with Gu Ziming leading the applause, his face full of pride.

However, Jiang Ye, who was standing on the second floor, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard these words.

It's all empty, grandiose official rhetoric.

It sounds cryptic and profound, but it's all just empty talk with no substance whatsoever. For those truly involved in business and investment, this kind of speech is like reciting a public relations script—utterly devoid of any merit.

The reporter clearly felt that Shen Qinghan's answer was somewhat empty, so he turned and handed the microphone to Xia Yu, who was standing to the side.

"Mr. Xia, Blue Ocean Group has been making frequent moves in the real estate sector recently. What are your thoughts on the Cloud Top Town project? What preparations has Blue Ocean Group made?"

Today, Xia Yu wore a smart black haute couture suit. Facing the camera, she didn't deliberately pose like Shen Qinghan. She appeared very relaxed, yet exuded an undeniable professional aura.

She took the microphone, hesitated for a moment, and without saying a word of nonsense, got straight to the point.

"The core difficulty of the Genting Town project lies not in funding or land acquisition, but in its 'soul'."

Xia Yu's voice was clear, cold, and powerful, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

"I've seen many so-called cultural and tourism towns, but they all end up as cold concrete jungles with identical imitation ancient buildings, devoid of any vitality. If Yunding Town is just about building houses to make money, then it's nothing more than another expensive concrete jungle on the Hanzhou map."

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent. Several real estate tycoons who had been nonchalant immediately abandoned their dismissive gazes and became serious.

Xia Yu continued, "Hanzhou has a history of two thousand years. Yunding Town is located on the banks of the Han River. It should not just be a real estate project; it should be a living fossil and a new calling card for Hanzhou culture. If Blue Ocean Group can participate in this project, our core logic is not development, but operation."

"My personal suggestion is that, regardless of who develops the Cloud Top Town project, it must be a cultural IP with strong vitality. It must introduce intangible cultural heritage workshops, immersive live-action theaters, and even integrate the ancient water system culture of Hanzhou into the design of every street. Everyone who enters the town should not see cold buildings, but feel the spirit of Hanzhou."

After he finished speaking, the entire room was silent for two seconds.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of extremely enthusiastic and heartfelt applause erupted!

Even the reporter who had just asked the question had his eyes light up and was frantically taking notes in his notebook.

Sit down!

What is professionalism? This is professionalism!

Without piling up any fancy words or using any empty business jargon, Xia Yu's opening remarks elevated the entire project's concept from simply "building houses" to "creating culture."

This is a true entrepreneur with vision and foresight!

In comparison, Shen Qinghan's speech, which was full of "empowerment," "closed loop," and "niche," sounded like a college student who hadn't graduated yet reciting an outdated business plan. It was incredibly pale, superficial, and even somewhat ridiculous.

Shen Qinghan stood to the side, her smile completely frozen.

Although her abilities were average, she wasn't stupid. Hearing the undisguised praise from the business tycoons around her for Xia Yu, she immediately realized that her supposedly sophisticated remarks had been utterly rendered meaningless by Xia Yu's profound insight.

A strong sense of frustration and jealousy spread wildly in Shen Qinghan's heart. Looking at Xia Yu's calm and composed demeanor, she felt for the first time that the gap between herself and this woman was as insurmountable as a chasm.

Meanwhile, at this moment, at the bar in the corner of the lobby on the first floor.

Several rich young men, dressed in designer suits and holding wine glasses, were staring intently at Xia Yu in the center of the crowd, whispering among themselves.

"Holy crap, Xia Yu is so cool! What she just said was absolutely brilliant!"

A young man with dyed blond hair swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming, and said, "This woman is so hard to pursue! I heard that a while ago, the eldest son of the Wang family in the south of the city sent a whole truckload of roses to the Blue Ocean Group building, but he didn't even get to see Xia Yu. The security guards threw all the flowers in the trash."

"Nonsense, do you think President Xia is one of those escort girls you can just pay a little money to get?"

Another young man with gold-rimmed glasses sighed, "She's so beautiful, has a perfect figure, a lovely voice, and most importantly, she's incredibly capable! If I could win over a top-tier mature woman like her, I'd gladly give up ten years of my life!"

"Yeah, I wonder what kind of man could be good enough for her? Probably some top-tier young master from Yanjing, right?"

"Don't fight over her! Goddess Xia is mine! I'll have my old man go to Blue Ocean Group tomorrow to discuss cooperation. Being close to the source gives us a head start!"

The young men became more and more excited as they talked, their eyes filled with admiration and longing for Xia Yu.

Jiang Ye, who was on the second floor, heard the entire conversation of these young masters.

He took a sip of the soda water in his glass, and couldn't help but smile wildly, a surge of indescribable smugness welling up inside him.

Would I be willing to live ten years less?

What kind of man is worthy of her?

Jiang Ye couldn't help but recall the crazy scenes from that night.

This ice queen, whom these rich kids revered as a goddess and considered even touching her a luxury, clung to him like an octopus that night.

All night long.

Six times!

This stark contrast filled Jiang Ye with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
