The moment the two appeared, the entrance to the hall immediately became quieter.

"Did Mr. Shen bring Chairman Yu here today?"

"Didn't they just get married? Of course newlyweds have a good relationship."

"Have you noticed that Chairman Yu is acting differently today?"

Several female employees stood a short distance away, whispering amongst themselves.

In the past, Yu Binglan walked briskly and had a cool expression. Even just passing by would make ordinary employees unconsciously nervous.

Today, although she was still wearing a business suit, her eyes and brows seemed to have lost some of their aloofness.

Especially when she looked at Shen Ze, her expression was so gentle that it was hard to believe.

A young male employee stared in disbelief, muttering, "Chairwoman Yu looks so beautiful today."

A colleague nudged him, "When isn't Chairman Yu beautiful?"

"Today is different."

The male employee watched the two walk into the lobby side by side and said, "They used to be someone people didn't dare to approach, but today they seem much gentler."

"Stop looking, she's already married."

Another female employee whispered, "But Mr. Shen is so considerate to Chairman Yu. He's been supporting her ever since she got out of the car."

"Is Chairman Yu feeling unwell? He seemed to frown several times just now."

The group exchanged glances, seemingly understanding something, and quickly lowered their voices even further.

The two front desk staff members also looked surprised.

Having worked at Xingchen Group for many years, this was the first time they had ever seen Yu Binglan lean her body weight so naturally against a man.

What was even more surprising was that Yu Binglan did not resist at all when Shen Ze held her waist.

Reaching the private elevator, Yu Binglan stopped: "This is enough."

"I'll take you upstairs."

"You have so many things to do today."

"A few minutes make a difference?"

The elevator doors opened, and Shen Ze helped her inside.

The employees left in the lobby looking at each other in bewilderment.

A new intern couldn't help but ask, "Is Chairman Yu usually this gentle?"

The veteran employee next to him had a complicated expression: "You've been here for three months, and have you ever seen Chairman Yu speak to anyone like that?"

The intern thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No."

"That'll do."

The chairman's office on the top floor.

Shen Ze escorted Yu Binglan to her office chair and placed the necessary documents beside her.

Remember to take a break at noon.

"understood."

"If you're not feeling well, you can leave work early."

"understood."

"I'll pick you up on time tonight."

Yu Binglan looked up at him: "Why are you suddenly being so long-winded?"

"Just got married, not used to it yet?"

"A little."

She said that, but the gentleness on her face was impossible to hide.

Shen Ze leaned down and kissed her forehead: "Wait for me after get off work."

"it is good."

After settling Yu Binglan in, Shen Ze left Xingchen Group and went to Fengsheng Group first.

Several senior executives were already waiting in the conference room.

Fengsheng Group's operations have been stable recently, and the speed of capital recovery for its projects is also accelerating.

The finance manager placed the report in front of Shen Ze: "Chairman Shen, this is the group's operating data for this month."

"Based on the current progress, net profit this month is expected to increase by 12 percent compared to last month."

"No issues have arisen with any of our core projects, and our cash reserves are ample."

Shen Ze glanced at the document for a moment: "Continue to proceed according to the original plan."

"clear."

After dealing with the Fengsheng Group, he then checked the operations of Shuren Private Hospital, Mingzhu Private Bank, and other businesses.

The companies under his name are generating stable profits every month.

Caesars Hotels has ample cash flow, and Fengsheng Group's business continues to grow.

Shu Ren Private Hospital and Mingzhu Private Bank are high-quality assets with long-term stability.

The combination of several industries brings him hundreds of millions in revenue every month.

With the addition of the 8 billion yuan in cash transferred by Yu Yehua, Shen Ze can now directly mobilize more than 10 billion yuan.

Such a massive cash flow is something few people in the entire Shanghai business district could produce.

After leaving the Fengsheng Group, the Rolls-Royce drove towards the Caesars Hotel.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the hotel manager quickly came forward: "Chairman Shen."

Shen Ze nodded and was about to enter when a middle-aged man carrying a laptop bag stood up from the rest area.

"President Shen!"

The man hurried forward, his face showing obvious fatigue and anxiety.

Shen Ze glanced at him.

He had seen this face in many financial interviews and industry summits in his previous life.

Wang Xiaolong, founder of Douxin.

However, the Wang Xiaolong before him was far from the spirited and ambitious figure he would later become.

His suit was wrinkled, his eyes were dark and swollen, and the laptop bag in his arms was also quite old.

"Who are you?"

Shen Ze asked the question knowing the answer already.

Wang Xiaolong quickly handed over his business card: "Hello, Mr. Shen, my name is Wang Xiaolong, and I am the founder of the Douxin short video platform."

"I learned that you would be visiting Caesars Hotel today through Ms. Sun's introduction."

He quickly added, "Ms. Sun only gave me an address; I have no other relationship with her."

Shen Ze took the business card, his expression calm: "What do you want?"

"I would like to ask you to invest in Douxin."

Wang Xiaolong opened his laptop bag: "Douyin now has seven million daily active users, and the user growth rate is very fast. The average usage time is also continuously increasing."

"Give us some more time, and the platform will definitely become one of the largest short video portals in China."

Several hotel managers nearby turned to look when they heard the investment amount.

The hotel manager asked in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, should we have him leave?"

"Need not."

Shen Ze sized up Wang Xiaolong, his tone completely unchanging: "If you have users, why are you short of money?"

Wang Xiaolong's confidence immediately diminished: "Because the costs of servers, bandwidth, content moderation, and promotion are very high."

"Douxin currently does not have a stable monetization channel, and the original investors have also suspended further investment."

"So you're treating me like the next person to pay up?"

No, it's not.

Wang Xiaolong hurriedly explained, "Douyin is definitely not a bottomless pit. Our users are all real, and as long as we find a suitable profit model, traffic can be quickly converted into revenue."

Shen Ze did not respond immediately.

In its previous life, Douyin was one of the largest traffic platforms in China.

Short videos are just the beginning.

Google, live streaming, e-commerce, and local services—each of these can generate amazing revenue.

Currently, the market is still in a blank stage.

Wang Xiaolong already has seven million daily active users, but he has no idea how to convert these users into profits.

This is like someone guarding a mountain of gold, but because they don't know the value of gold, they're preparing to sell the entire mountain at a low price.

"Let's talk upstairs."

Shen Ze put away the business card, his attitude noticeably cold: "I'll only give you half an hour."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaolong's fingers trembled with excitement: "Enough! Mr. Shen, half an hour is enough!"
