<p>Again, the confusion is caused by the &quot;unique sentence structure&quot; in the Chinese language, which can not be translated into other languages word by word without a little twist. I'll segmentize the sentence as:</p>
<p>&quot;腾讯总裁刘炽平 <strong>言语间</strong> 充满了骄傲。&quot; Note that in this structure, the phrase &quot;言语间&quot; is an orphan, which could be modified to &quot;腾讯总裁刘炽平<strong>的言语</strong>充满了骄傲。&quot; - His talk filled with pride, or &quot;<strong>言语间</strong>, 腾讯总裁刘炽平充满了骄傲。&quot; - &quot;In the speech, he is full of pride&quot;.</p>
<p>Hope this explanation makes sense.</p>

A person has pride **in** something. He, as boss, will obviously have great pride **in** his (very successful) company.

He was full of pride. He was proud. A speech has no emotions and cannot feel pride.

间：在一定空间或时间内 in a certain space or time

in a certain time = during

腾讯总裁刘炽平言语间充满了骄傲。  
Tencent Chairman Liu Chiping, during his speech, was full of pride.

Again, the confusion is caused by the "unique sentence structure" in the Chinese language, which can not be translated into other languages word by word without a little twist. I'll segmentize the sentence as:

"腾讯总裁刘炽平 **言语间** 充满了骄傲。" Note that in this structure, the phrase "言语间" is an orphan, which could be modified to "腾讯总裁刘炽平**的言语**充满了骄傲。" - His talk filled with pride, or "**言语间**, 腾讯总裁刘炽平充满了骄傲。" - "In the speech, he is full of pride".

Hope this explanation makes sense.

I think you've pretty much understood it correctly. [Chinese Zero to Hero course](https://chinesezerotohero.teachable.com/courses/302482/lectures/5181044) (paid service) gives two translations of this sentence; one includes:

> **Pride is evident in the words of Tencent's CEO Liu Chiping.** (see: [screenshot](https://i.sstatic.net/pqJ64l.png))

And another one in their pdf:

> With such large style of promotion, Tencent had their confidence in this matter. WeChat “has over 70 million users registered overseas, still growing rapidly”. On July 3rd, in the Beijing 2013 Tencent Cooperative Partner Assembly, **Tencent president Liu Chiping’s was full of pride in his words**.

It means you can tell from his manner of speaking (his choice of words, his tone, etc.) that he was brimming with pride. In this context, it seems he was proud of Tencent's success.

When studying HSK levels 5 and 6, you encounter a lot of phrasings like 言语间 (~"in [his] words"; here 间 is being used as a suffix; see also [YouDao example sentences](https://youdao.com/result?word=lj:%E8%A8%80%E8%AF%AD%E9%97%B4&lang=en)), which express things flexibly and in unfamiliar ways, and might not be easily translated.
