This time, he did not use the empty talk, grand pronouncements, and resounding slogans he used to use to stir up Yang Hui's emotions.

He knew that shouting those empty slogans would be useless to highly educated people like Yang Hui, and might even provoke their resentment.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Yang Hui frowned and paced back and forth, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Chen Yu did not urge him, but waited quietly to the side.

After a moment, Yang Hui stopped and looked at Chen Yu: "I think if this natural disaster continues, many survivor bases will soon emerge in this world, and they will also make efforts for the continuation of human civilization. What makes you think your base has an advantage?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Just look at the foundation of my Tianyu Group! Since the natural disaster struck, almost all of my Tianyu Group's researchers, including our chief scientist and leading expert in thermonuclear physics, Academician Lin Hong, have remained at their posts and continued their research as usual. Tell me, isn't that an advantage? Our geothermal power plant is operating normally and can provide a continuous supply of energy in this extremely cold apocalypse. Isn't that an advantage? Our base has received full support from the Zhongyang City Garrison Command and the Municipal Government. Isn't that an advantage?"

Chen Yu's words were half true and half false, and contained some boasting, but since he wanted to poach people, it was normal practice to make promises to them.

"This..." Yang Hui was truly shocked by the scene described by Chen Yu. She had to admit that she was indeed somewhat tempted.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something: "Wait, you just mentioned Tianyu Group? Could it be that you..."

"Hehe, that's right, I am the president of Tianyu Group," Chen Yu said with a smile.

As he spoke, he took off his cold-weather mask, revealing his young and handsome face.

Yang Hui was utterly astonished upon seeing this.

The others present also showed expressions of surprise. They did not expect that the "militia commander" driving an armored vehicle in this extremely cold weather was actually Chen Yu, a legendary figure who had risen rapidly in the Great Xia Dynasty in the past two years!
