Time passed like water.
「One day later.」
The groundbreaking ceremony for the Port Affairs Hub project was held at Calderin Port.
As Calderin's most anticipated major engineering project in recent years, the ceremony was broadcast live and featured on the front pages of the news.
At nine o'clock, Stella Sterling finished her morning meeting, took a moment to open her phone, and tuned into the live broadcast on the local government's official platform.
The stream showed the Port Affairs construction site under a clear, endless sky.
In the center of a patch of freshly turned earth stood a square foundation stone.
The site was fully decked out with promotional balloons, inflatable arches, and construction machinery—a grand and magnificent scene.
In front of a red backdrop, a Port Affairs official and Roman Rhodes took the stage to give their speeches.
He was dressed sharply and formally today.
He wore a handmade, pure black suit with a white shirt and a navy-blue-striped tie.
