When Longcheng was first built, it covered an area of approximately 90,000 square kilometers, divided into thirteen administrative districts and hundreds of towns. The initial population was approximately 3.5 million, mostly soldiers, their families, and overseas Chinese.
In the past five years, the three major Chinese living areas of the former Asian Union, namely Area 7, Area 8 and Area 9, have been integrated. The regional titles of Area 7, Area 8 and Area 9, as well as the independent political systems of the areas, have been abolished. They have been completely merged into one and are collectively referred to as the Chinese Region.
Since the unification war, the Chinese community has entered a comprehensive recovery in the fields of economy, technology, and military. Coupled with the warming climate and stable situation, the gradual rise of the Chinese community is unstoppable. Against this background, more and more people are flowing into overseas business.
The political environment of Longcheng is special, and the majority of its people are Chinese. Therefore, for capitalists, ambitious people who want to find opportunities overseas, and those who are willing to go out and venture, this place is undoubtedly a place where Longcheng will thrive, and it is easier to integrate into life there.
In addition, the first Chinese who settled here also had relatives and friends in their hometowns. After they settled down, they also formed a trend of looking for relatives. Many people who were not doing well in their hometowns or wanted to find opportunities outside also came here. Therefore, the registered population of Longcheng has increased sharply in recent years, and it has reached nearly 6 million people, not counting the illegal residents.
The increase in population has brought a lot of economic potential to Longcheng, so starting in the past two years, Longcheng has also been expanding outward, building new districts and carrying out land reclamation projects. In short, this city looks full of hope.
…
The Yu family lives in Longkou District, but Yu Jinrong’s eldest son, Yu Mingyuan’s company is located on Maolin Avenue in Zhannan District.
Maolin Avenue is one of the few notable business districts in Zhanan District. Because the overall people's livelihood construction and economic level here cannot be compared with Longkou, people there are accustomed to calling Zhanan District a slum and a bad house.
People's sense of superiority is always inexplicable. They are all from the same city and of the same race, but they cannot escape the map cannon and the chain of contempt is everywhere.
It was a little after nine in the morning. It was sunny and windy outside. Su Tianyu took a taxi to the Tianhong Building office building on Maolin Avenue, went up to the thirteenth floor, and found the office area of Yu Mingyuan's company.
The name of this company is simple and straightforward, it is Mingyuan Trading Co., Ltd.
After Su Tianyu politely explained his purpose to the receptionist, he was taken into Yu Mingyuan’s office which was more than 40 square meters.
"Hey, you are Xiao Su, right?" Yu Mingyuan was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, less than 1.8 meters tall, of medium build, not very good-looking, with small eyes and a pointed chin, looking a bit like Liang Tian from I Love My Family. But once a man has money, outsiders will unconsciously add a halo to him, so Yu Mingyuan also looks quite elegant, with very white skin, wearing black-framed glasses, and looking gentle.
"Yes, Su Tianyu, hello, Mr. Yu!" Su Tianyu politely extended his hand to the other party.
"When you came to my house that day, I happened to be away because of something. Otherwise, I would have liked to chat with your second uncle, haha!" Yu Mingyuan patted Su Tianyu's shoulder and greeted him casually, "Come, sit anywhere."
"good."
The two of them walked to the sofa together, bent down and sat down.
"Come, have some tea." Yu Mingyuan took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Su Tianyu.
"You're welcome, Mr. Yu!" Su Tianyu replied with a smile.
Yu Mingyuan pushed the teacup to Su Tianyu, looked him up and down and asked, "I heard from my dad that you graduated from a military academy."
"Yes, I graduated from the Army Staff College." Su Tianyu was in a relaxed state: "Last time when we were drinking and chatting, I said that the major I studied might not be suitable for your company."
"That's okay. If you can learn something as complicated as deploying troops, it won't be hard to start a business. Haha." Yu Mingyuan asked casually, "My dad said you want to take the civil service exam?"
"Yes, I have this plan."
"Xiao Su, last time you went to my house for dinner, my dad was very happy. He told me that he had just joined the management committee and was unfamiliar with the place. He would have to rely on the old customers of the sanitation department in the future. He also liked your second uncle very much." Yu Mingyuan said in a talkative manner, "With this relationship, you are no longer an outsider to me."
"Yes." Su Tianyu nodded in agreement.
"Work hard for me. The civil service exam will be held next year. You can take the exam by yourself. I will help you find connections after you pass the exam." Yu Mingyuan said, "My company has just started operating. It has been less than three months in total. I don't have much to do now. You can run business with me in the future."
Su Tianyu grinned: "Male secretary?"
"Haha, I have a secretary, a woman. For the time being, you can join the company as the assistant to the general manager." Yu Mingyuan said softly, "Get familiar with the company environment first."
"Okay!" Su Tianyu immediately said sensibly, "Would you like some coffee, boss?"
"Haha, you've adapted quickly. You're worthy of being a graduate of the Staff College. But you definitely don't have to serve tea or water. So, go through the entry procedures first." Yu Mingyuan looked up and shouted, "Linda!"
The door opened, and a fair-skinned and beautiful girl over 1.70 meters tall walked in and asked with a smile, "What do you want, boss?"
"Su Tianyu, the company's assistant to the general manager, please bring him in." Yu Mingyuan ordered.
“Okay, Mr. Su, please come this way…” The female secretary immediately made a gesture of invitation.
“Don’t call me boss. Let’s be casual. You can call me Tianyu or Xiaosu. Anything is fine.” Su Tianyu stood up and stretched out his hand to the other party.
"Okay, this way please." The female secretary greeted with a smile.
"Then I'll go first, Mr. Yu."
"Go ahead." Yu Mingyuan nodded.
Su Tianyu was about to go out with the female secretary after hearing the voice, but just after taking two steps, Yu Mingyuan suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, Xiao Su!"
"What's wrong, boss?"
"Well, tonight, come with me to attend a dinner party." Yu Mingyuan said after thinking for a while.
"Okay." Su Tianyu responded.
…
About an hour and a half later, Su Tianyu completed the entry procedures and was assigned to an independent office to the left of the general manager.
This office is more than 20 square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a very small separate bathroom. For a company of the same size, the executive level is second only to the boss.
To be honest, Su Tianyu is not a shameless person. He did not plan to start as a low-level clerk when he came to this company, because he felt that it would be a waste of time. He might as well read books at home and prepare for next year's civil service exam.
In addition, Yu Jinrong's intention to recruit the Su family was very obvious, so Su Tianyu had anticipated before he came that the other party would arrange an easy position for him. He would not be supported for nothing, nor would he be asked to do too hard work, which could be considered as a favor.
But Su Tianyu never expected that Yu Mingyuan would arrange a position of assistant to the general manager for him, because in a normal company, this position is the role of the chief steward and is considered one of the absolute leaders.
But now Su Tianyu doesn’t even know what the company’s business is, and the other party has arranged such a position for him. This is a bit too abnormal.
However, what Su Tianyu didn't expect was that Yu Mingyuan's special treatment towards him was far from over.
In the next few days, Su Tianyu did nothing with his high salary of 3,000 yuan a month. During the day, he looked at the legs of the female clerks, drank tea, and took a nap; at night, he attended various social events with Yu Mingyuan, meeting many people in the system and business owners.
Yu Mingyuan’s circle of friends is very diverse. He knows people from the customs, the police department, the security association, and the army, and they all seem to have a good relationship with him.
…
Half a month passed in a flash, and it was already October.
Su Tianyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, because Yu Mingyuan was too nice and too lenient to him, it was a little abnormal.
At noon that day, Su Tianyu snatched a sales report from the female secretary and forcibly sent it into Yu Mingyuan's office: "Brother Yuan, take a look. This is the customer development form of the sales department."
"Do you really need to deliver this?" Yu Mingyuan was already familiar with Su Tianyu, and took the initiative to let him call him Brother Yuan: "Just ask Linda to deliver it. You still need to conserve your energy."
"I'm really well taken care of. I drink tea and eat sea cucumbers and abalone every day. My nose bleeds all the time, Brother Yuan!" Su Tianyu said with a smile.
Yu Mingyuan raised his head and smiled, looking at Su Tianyu in an ambiguous way and replied, "I have plans tonight, a party at the apartment. I have a few friends from District 1 and a young lady who can dance. Come with me."
“… My waist can’t take it if I dance every day.”
"So, I asked you to conserve your energy. Your main job now is to drink well and dance well." Yu Mingyuan himself is very busy, and he is very concerned about the company's affairs: "Okay, you go back first, I'll call you when it's time to leave."
"Brother Yuan, apart from our work relationship, can we be considered friends?" Su Tianyu asked.
"With your IQ, how can you ask such a question? Do you think there is anyone in the company who dares to call me brother?" Yu Mingyuan looked up and replied.
"No, you're making me feel uneasy! You made me... I once thought that we were related by blood." Su Tianyu said implicitly: "Tell me the truth, are you... ?"
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just then, the phone on the desk rang. Yu Mingyuan picked it up and started the call in front of Su Tianyu.
About three or four minutes later, Yu Mingyuan hung up the phone, stood up and said to Su Tianyu, "I have something urgent to do and need to go out. Oh, stop talking nonsense and go back to work. I'll pick you up in the evening."
Su Tianyu was somewhat helpless: "Okay."
"Haha, you can take a nap in the afternoon, but we have to work very late at night." Yu Mingyuan patted Su Tianyu's shoulder and walked out.
Su Tianyu followed behind and prepared to return to the office.
"Oh, right!" Yu Mingyuan walked to the door and suddenly turned back: "How far is your place from the company?"
Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment: "I'm near the suburbs, about ten kilometers away?"
"So how do you usually go to work?"
"Take the bus."
"That's too much trouble. We start work early." Yu Mingyuan returned to the office, opened the drawer and picked out a car key: "I got a car back yesterday to pay off a debt. It's a vintage Ford off-road vehicle. You can drive it."
After saying that, Yu Mingyuan stuffed the key into Su Tianyu's hand.
"Ah?" Su Tianyu held the car keys in a daze: "Still...still need a car?"
"Your level is enough, haha." Yu Mingyuan turned and left.
Su Tianyu is definitely not a stupid person, on the contrary he is very smart, so he is really a little uneasy. He feels that there is something wrong with the way Yu Mingyuan looks at him.
…
Get off work in the evening.
Su Tianyu sat in the small pavilion at home, holding his chin with his left hand, and asked Dabai who came over to drink tea with a squint, "If a man is nice to another man without any limit, what do you think he is trying to achieve?"
"I hope you can provide him with a good old age and see him to the end of his life."
“… Speak human language!”
"Fuck, how can this not be human language? Apart from your father, who can treat you well without limits?!" Dabai paused here and said, "Not really, maybe he is attracted to your asshole."
"If he has this request, why don't he say it! If he doesn't, I'll be very uneasy." Su Tianyu replied shamelessly, stood up and said, "You want to play this with me? Look how I made him show his dick!"
