Chapter 1: Handsome Man of the New Era

Chapter One: Beautiful Men in the New Era

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, thirty years pass by in a blink of an eye.

Over the years, Shanghai has gone through many vicissitudes of life, but Shanghai is still full of vitality. With the support of China's economic development in recent years, it has surpassed New York in terms of economy, finance, and tertiary industry, becoming The largest international city...

Early spring of 2043, nine o'clock in the evening, Xinjing International Building.

Zhang Xiaomeng walked out of the automatic door of the office building a little tiredly, and faced a gust of warm early spring wind, which felt very comfortable on her face. She stood at the door, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes, and looked at the few young men and women around her who had just walked out of the office after working overtime.

Facing her gaze, the group of people all greeted her in a slightly flattering tone when they saw her: "Manager Zhang, see you tomorrow!"

"Ms. Zhang, you haven't gone home yet? Have you eaten yet? Why don't we have something to eat together?"

Zhang Xiaomeng responded to their greetings one by one calmly. These people were all employees of her company. Most of them were graduates of famous universities. Everyone's age and education level were much higher than hers, but everyone had to Bow to her.

All this because she is their boss.

Not going to graduate school after college is almost unreasonable in this day and age. However, she, a 23-year-old girl, actually opened her own foreign trade company in Pudong Xinjing International Building. This is something that is unimaginable to ordinary people, but for Zhang Xiaomeng, it does not find it that difficult.

Who made her the rich daughter of Vice Mayor Zhang of Shanghai? What's more, her mother is a senior colonel in a military unit stationed in Shanghai! Although her parents did not use the power in their hands to seek personal gain, after all, they had a wide circle of friends, knew many people in the upper class, and opened their own small foreign trade company. In a family like hers, they simply had nothing to do to entertain their daughter.

In recent years, General Secretary Zhao has implemented an accountability system for the appointment of officials across the country. In addition to political performance, the appointment and dismissal of officials also depends on the eyes of local people. As long as the people don't say yes, it's useless no matter how good you are.

Fifteen years ago, at the suggestion of General Secretary Zhao, then Vice President of the country, the country established a hearing committee, and governments at all levels implemented a hearing conference system.

The hearing conference is not a permanent organization and has no quota limit. It only holds meetings every six months. Whether you are a worker, a farmer, a migrant worker, or a private owner, as long as you are interested and have time, you can go in and express your opinions during meetings.

Its permanent body is the Hearing Committee, which is directly responsible to the Party Committee. The party's functions have withdrawn from micro-management and have completely transformed into macro-supervision and supervision, formulating medium- and long-term plans, and leading the people's ideological trends.

After a period of stumbling, the hearing system has become increasingly mature. The internal conflicts among the people in the country are decreasing year by year, and officials no longer dare to ignore the voice of the people when doing things. Corruption, bribery and abuse of power for personal gain are even more likely to occur.

Zhang Xiaomeng is different from ordinary rich girls. She comes from a red revolutionary family, and her great-grandfather was a hero who fought alongside the founding fathers. Her grandfather Zhang Huaiqiang once served as vice chairman of the National People's Congress, and her father is now the deputy mayor of Shanghai.

She has her own pride, but she does not want to rest and enjoy herself on the merits of her ancestors. She wanted to have her own business, so she was very concerned about her company. It had only been a year since the company opened. On the one hand, relying on the reputation of her parents and on the other hand, coupled with her own efforts, the small company was actually running smoothly. The monthly turnover has reached 50 million yuan. If this development continues, Zhang Xiaomeng is confident that after several years of hard work, creating a world of his own will definitely be achievable.

Now it is no longer like the early stage of reform. The country's laws are improving and the system is improving. The accumulation of original funds must go through an arduous process. Let’s imagine that like Rongguang International, we got rich overnight and grew into an economic giant in three to five years. Gone are the days when funds expanded dramatically like a snowball.

Sometimes, she also wonders, if she had been born thirty years earlier, would she be as charming as Ms. Zhao Xiaoting, chairman of the board of directors of Rongguang International Group?

Unfortunately, assumptions can only be assumptions. Real life is very realistic, and it is not possible to go back to the past like those bloody time-travel dramas.

The white-collar workers around her gradually dispersed, and Zhang Xiaomeng also walked slowly to the underground parking lot. She bought a new SAIC Guoguang sedan. Although her home is not far from the company and she can even walk to and from get off work, she just bought a car this week. Even after getting her driver's license, she couldn't help but drive to the company every day.

She took out the remote control from Ms. Shen Ya's high-end leather bag and pressed it. The lights of the car parked in the distance came on. Immediately, the melodious singing voice of her favorite international queen and beautiful singer Yang Tingting rang out.

Yang Tingting's singing voice and the movies of another international superstar Qin Yu grew up with her. It's just a pity that ten years ago when they were at the peak of their careers, they announced their retirement from the entertainment industry at the same time. It really made billions Fans are heartbroken.

However, the craftsmanship level of domestically produced cars is now leading the world, especially in some user-friendly designs, which are even more heartwarming. Not to mention other things, Zhang Xiaomeng especially liked the function that just press the remote control, the welcome lights around the car will light up, and the owner can customize the music according to his own preferences.

In fact, she is not very good at using the remote control now. If she is proficient in the operation, she can stand here and let the car drive over to wait for the owner to get in.

With a lazy step, Zhang Xiaomeng slowly walked towards the car. At this time, the lights of a car next to her also lit up, and the music played was the same song as her car.

When she stopped and looked back, she saw a tall young man walking towards her at the elevator entrance behind her. "Hi, beautiful lady, you blocked my car..." The man said with a smile as he walked over here.

"Oh... I'm sorry..." Zhang Xiaomeng quickly made way for the passage, but the other party's car did not move forward automatically. The man was sunny and tall and handsome: "Do you like to listen to this song too?"

"Yes..." Zhang Xiaomeng felt that he was suspected of deliberately chatting up. But she didn't hate this man, and thought he looked very charming when he smiled. However, she had been working in this building for a year, but she seemed to have never seen him like this.

"Do you work in this building too? Which company do you work for?" After asking, she realized that her question was a bit rash and could easily cause misunderstandings, as if she was very interested in him.

Sure enough, the boy stopped, looked at Zhang Xiaomeng very seriously, and said with a smile: "I work on the 69th floor. Today is my first day at work. I asked my colleagues to celebrate for me. Do you have time to go together?"

The 69th floor is the management office of Xinjing Building. Speaking of which, the house rented by his company is from his company. However, this man is too direct, isn't he? Why did he ask a girl out for a drink the first time he met her?

If it were another man, Zhang Xiaomeng would have refused it long ago, but facing his sunny and innocent smile, Zhang Xiaomeng didn't know whether she should refuse or agree.

"Stinky boy, why are you walking so fast? Don't you even wait for your sister..." She was hesitating, and a series of high heels hitting the ground came from the elevator entrance, and a very nice voice followed. Although the voice sounded like a complaint, the deep care in it could still be heard at once.

The woman who came looked only about 26 or 27 years old, with long hair, a pretty face, fair skin, and a charming appearance. She exuded an elegant and noble temperament, and was full of the charm that a woman should have! When a man saw her like this, even Zhang Xiaomeng couldn't help but secretly feel jealous in her heart.

However, what made him feel very strange was that the young man standing next to him immediately pulled a long face and showed a bitter smile when he saw the woman coming out: "Zhao Jiaxin, can you not follow me? I have already made an appointment to celebrate my first day at work today. I beg you to go home by yourself, okay?"

"Yang Zhengkun, don't be ungrateful? Aunt Xueying asked me to watch you all the time." The girl smiled, but her eyes kept drifting to Zhang Xiaomeng: "Who is this girl? Why don't you introduce her to your sister?"

It turned out that the young man in front of him was called Yang Zhengkun, a very nice name.

"Sister, I call you my dear sister, you are not my mother, so don't worry so much, okay? You are 33 years old this year, you should go out for a date, and find a man to take home as soon as possible..." Yang Zhengkun smiled bitterly, bowed and kowtowed to Zhao Jiaxin, and his appearance was really funny.

"Humph, we are related, what's wrong with you calling me dear sister?" Zhao Jiaxin said, smiling and walking in front of Zhang Xiaomeng, holding her hand and saying: "Little sister, I think you look familiar, is it that bad boy who asked you out to celebrate? I drive well, I will be your driver for free, you won't mind, right? Sister feels close to you as soon as she sees you..."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaomeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Before she could explain, Yang Zhengkun was already holding his stomach and pretending to vomit: "Wow, Zhao Jiaxin, you are good at flattering? It disgusts me..."
