Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Zhang Jingzhi looked at the exquisite admission notice that Leng Sa placed in front of her and raised her eyebrows without saying anything.

Leng Sa said innocently, "Why is Mr. Zhang looking at me like this? I'm just running an errand to help you."

Zhang Jingzhi laughed, "Who in the capital today has the ability to ask Madam Fu to run errands? This kind of thing can be done by just any person, right?" It is true that there is no need to trouble Madam Fu for such a small matter as sending a post, and it is not impossible to even mail it directly. Can.

Leng Sa shrugged and said, "Aren't you worried that it will be difficult to invite Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Jingzhi paused slightly. He really had no intention of attending tonight's banquet.

It's not that his identity has changed so much that he feels ashamed, but it's meaningless. In the past, I attended these banquets because I had to attend due to status restrictions or because I really had something to do, but now there is no restriction on status, and there is really nothing important recently. Zhang Jingzhi has no intention of being arrogant in the past.

There was a certain look on Leng Sa's face, and Zhang Jingzhi smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter if there are more or less people in this kind of banquet, right?"

Leng Sa sighed softly and said, "Jingzhi, I don't believe you really plan to work for me for the rest of your life."

Zhang Jingzhi remained silent and said coldly: "You have been staying away from the capital in the past few years. No matter how many achievements you have made... people always forget a person's achievements much faster than forget a person's stains, even if the stains are not caused by him. Yes. You can't let people in the capital really forget you."

It stands to reason that Zhang Jingzhi was responsible for the logistics operation of Jiazhou. How much credit did this have? If Zhang Jingzhi wants to use this opportunity to return to officialdom, it is completely sufficient.

But no one mentioned it afterwards, as if Jiazhou's huge logistics system could be run by just one person.

Fu Fengcheng, Long Yue and others offered to help, but Zhang Jingzhi refused on the grounds that the Zhang family's matter had only happened not long ago, and he was only doing his best to make up for the damage caused by Zhang Zuo, so there was no need to go into a big fight.

Zhang Jingzhi raised her head and looked at Leng Sa, who smiled and said, "This is also what Fu Fengcheng meant. He said that Mr. Zhang has the talent to help the world. It is really a waste of talent and natural resources for such a talent to keep managing my family business."

"Young Master Fu said that?" Zhang Jingzhi was a little surprised.

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Yes, I have never heard Fu Fengcheng speak so highly of others. Mr. Zhang, in the past few years... I have wronged you."

Zhang Jingzhi shook her head and smiled: "I should be grateful to the young madam for giving me a golden rice bowl. If it weren't for the young madam's shelter, I really didn't know what to do in the past few years. What's more... I feel that these few years are better than the previous ten years." The annual harvest will be even more.”

Zhang Jingzhi has been the general manager of the Fu family in the past few years. He does not deal with money and intrigues with others in the mall all day long. He can really get in touch with the people's livelihood at the lower level.

In the past few years, due to business matters, he has traveled to most places in the country. He has seen the luxury of Jiangnan wealthy businessmen, and also seen the ordinary people living a hard life at the bottom. This is what Mr. Zhang who used to live in the clouds no matter what. It can't be experienced realistically.

Leng Saxiao asked, "So, when will I receive my resignation letter?"

Zhang Jingzhi thought for a moment and said coldly without hiding anything: "In a year's time, I still want to finish the things at hand. The young lady also needs to find someone to take over, right?"

Leng Sa pretended to be relieved and said with a smile, "If you said you would resign after the New Year, I will cry to you now."

Zhang Jingzhi also had a rare clear laugh, "Then I have to work for another year, otherwise Mr. Fu will shoot me dead."

"That's an exaggeration."

Leng Sa pushed the post in front of him again and said, "Well, Mr. Zhang, remember to go tonight. Keep in touch with your friends in the capital, and think about where you want to be in a year's time?"

Zhang Jingzhi did not refuse this time, put the post away, and said sincerely, "Thank you very much."

Leng Sa showed a meaningful smile, "By the way, Xinyou will also attend tonight's banquet. I heard... the president has a dozen photos of the capital's young talents."

"..."

Tonight's banquet is still crowded with guests, but some are happy and some are worried.

Of course, everyone on the Daxia side is happy, but only a few people on the Dayin side are sad.

Compared with Daxia, which is known as a state of etiquette and profoundness, Dayin has always been a martial custom, and in ancient times it was a nomadic people known for their toughness. However, now, they were beaten by the Daxia people and had no choice but to cede territory and sue for peace. The key is that they themselves started this war, and it would not work even if they wanted to say that Daxia invaded them.

Under such circumstances, how could Dayin's envoy be happy? I don’t know what will happen when I go back.

Of course, the happy Daxia people at the banquet did not care about the grievances of the Dayin people. They laughed happily, gathered together to talk and drink, and young men and women swayed in pairs on the dance floor to the music.

Zhang Jingzhi leaned alone in a corner of the hall and looked at the familiar environment around him, his expression calm and his mood equally calm.

The probing glances from around him had no impact on him. Compared with Mr. Zhang who was somewhat depressed when he left the capital, Zhang Jingzhi now seems more calm and determined.

"Is that Zhang Jingzhi?" A group of young people gathered together and whispered as they looked at the handsome man not far away who was still over thirty but still elegant.

"Who else could it be if he wasn't Mr. Zhang?" A young girl looked at him with dreamy eyes, "Where in the entire capital can you find a man who is more elegant and dignified than Mr. Zhang?"

Although people like Fu Shaolong have become more famous in recent years, they are all soldiers, and they have a bit of the coldness and murderousness of soldiers.

There are always some people who prefer gentlemen like jade and can't stand this sharp-edged aura.

A young man said with some disdain, "What is Mr. Zhang? I heard that he is now working for the eldest young lady of the Fu family." These words sounded a bit sour, and he was obviously an admirer of the young girl.

Another girl next to him glared at him and said, "What do you know? Even if I work for Mrs. Fu, the Fu family gave Mr. Zhang shares. Even if it's not much, the Fu Group's net worth is probably higher than that of the rest of us. Be a hundred times richer."

Not to mention, the Zhang family has no power now. But the wealth accumulated by the Zhang family for hundreds of years is still there, Zhang Bi is still alive and his connections are still there.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Zhang Jingzhi is still the heir to the Zhang family with a rich net worth and good connections.

This doesn't even count his friendship with people like Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue.

Someone else whispered, "I heard that Zhang Jingzhi is dating the president's daughter."

"Is it true? How did I hear that the President wanted to go on a blind date with Miss Yu?" Some people didn't believe it and refuted it by providing information they knew.

"I don't know about that. Miss Yu has been either in Yongcheng or Jiazhou in the past few years. Mr. Zhang is about the same. It's not impossible to have a relationship."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and some people couldn't help but sigh, "Good-looking people have the advantage." Even if the Zhang family really has nothing, being able to date the president's daughter is enough to turn the family around. What's more, the Zhang family and the Yu family have a good relationship, and Zhang Jingzhi and Yu Xinyou are considered to be a good match.

Zhang Jingzhi naturally didn't hear what those people were talking about, but that didn't stop him from guessing what those people were talking about. He just smiled lightly and didn't care.

"Jingzhi." Yu Xinyou accompanied Yu Chengyi to greet the distinguished guests at the banquet. He waited until Yu Chengyi and Governor Fu and others were talking before running out to find Zhang Jingzhi.

"Xinyou." Zhang Jingzhi nodded with a smile, took a glass of juice from the waiter's tray and handed it to Yu Xinyou, "Don't you need to accompany the president?"

Yu Xinyou smiled and said, "Dad is talking to Governor Fu and the others. Why do you need me? It's you, why are you here alone?"

Zhang Jingzhi said, "I just had a chat with someone about something."

"Is there anything I need to know?" Yu Xinyou asked.

Zhang Jingzhi thought for a while and said, "I should resign from Fu's company the year after next."

Yu Xinyou was not surprised, "Have you decided yet? Do you plan to return to the capital by then?"

Zhang Jingzhi shook her head: "I probably won't return to the capital for the time being. I plan to stay here for another two years. But the specifics will depend on what happens."

Yu Xinyou smiled and said, "Then tell me now, is that okay?"

Zhang Jingzhi smiled and said, "What's the problem? I'd also like to hear Xinyou's advice."

Yu Xinyou thought about it carefully before saying, "I don't think there is any need to rush back to Beijing."

Zhang Jingzhi is different from people like Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue. They have perfect backgrounds and illustrious military exploits, which are enough for them to enter the central organization and occupy high positions at a young age.

However, Zhang Jingzhi was naturally not trusted due to Zhang Zuo's influence, and he did not have the illustrious achievements like Fu Fengcheng that could be recorded in the annals of history and convince everyone. Therefore, his best choice is to start from the local level first, accumulate enough achievements and gradually return to the center of power.

Zhang Jingzhi apologized, "I may be very busy in the past few years."

Yu Xinyou didn't care, raised the juice in his hand and said with a smile, "I wish everything goes well?"

"Thank you." Zhang Jingzhi smiled and clinked her glass with her.

"Miss Yu." A handsome young man in a straight dress came over with a wine glass, "I am Xiao Xiangnan, and my father is Xiao Qian, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Can I ask you to dance?"

Yu Xinyou's eyelashes flickered slightly, and she remembered that this young man was one of the photos her father collected. but……

Looking at the new and expensive dress and the neatly combed and smooth hair, Yu Xinyou felt that it looked better in the photo, at least... there was no sheen visible in the photo.

"Sorry, I just planned to ask my boyfriend to dance with me." Yu Xinyou held Zhang Jingzhi's arm with one hand and refused with a smile.

The young man obviously didn't expect that he would be rejected. The smile on his face froze slightly and soon he smiled again, "So it's Mr. Zhang? Long time no see. I heard that you are now working under Mrs. Fu?"

Zhang Jingzhi looked at the young man in front of him and asked casually, "Have we met before?"

"..." Xiao Xiangnan's smile froze again.

Indeed, the former Xiao Xiangnan was not worth remembering by the eldest son of the Zhang family.

His father has only climbed to the position of deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the past two years. Most of this is due to his timidity and honesty and not daring to do anything casually, as well as the political turmoil in recent years, which has caused too many unlucky people to become vacant. It took many positions for him to get a bargain.

Xiao Xiangnan forced a smile, "I just came back from abroad not long ago, so it's natural that Mr. Zhang doesn't remember me."

Yu Xinyou pulled Zhang Jingzhi and said, "We still have something to do, Mr. Xiao, please excuse me for now."

Xiao Xiangnan could only watch as the two of them put aside the wine and juice in their hands, and Yu Xinyou took Zhang Jingzhi's hand and walked into the dance floor in the center of the banquet hall.

On the second floor on the other side, President Yu naturally saw this scene. Governor Fu, who was standing with him, smiled and said, "Lao Yu, it seems you have bad taste."

Yu Chengyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Governor Fu, who smiled and said, "Look at that boy, and then look at that boy from the Zhang family. Everyone knows how to choose. It's no wonder that Xinyou doesn't give you the honor of being a father. "

Yu Chengyi looked at Xiao Xiangnan who was standing aside, and then at Yu Xinyou and Zhang Jingzhi who had already entered the dance floor and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "What's the use of being good-looking?" The key is that Zhang Jingzhi looks so good that he can compete with him There are only a few who can compare with him, and most of them are still married.

"Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention... I heard that Xinyou doesn't study painting? Then she must prefer people with good looks." Fu Dujun advised, "Besides, think about you Which grandson is better-looking and smarter, that boy or your son-in-law, Zhang Jingzhi?"

Yu Chengyi was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "No matter who my daughter marries, the children she gives birth to will be smart and good-looking."

Governor Fu said proudly, "That's hard to say. Look at our boss, and then look at our Yun Qi. Do you understand?"

"..." After a while, Yu Chengyi nodded and said, "I understand, it's all thanks to Mr. Zhuo." You alone can only give birth to someone like Fu Yucheng. I can't say it was bad, but it did have to be rubbed on the ground by Long Yue and Song Lang.

"..." Does this old boy know how to chat? !

A chuckle came from the side, and Governor Long leaned to the side and smiled, "President, your daughter has been abducted."

Yu Chengyi quickly looked down and saw that Yu Xinyou had pulled Zhang Jingzhi out of the dance floor and out of the banquet hall.

Governor Fu gloated, "It wasn't his daughter who was abducted, it was her daughter who was abducted. This girl Xinyou looks weak and weak, but she is also a hero among women. Not bad!"

"..." President Yu was so angry that he turned into a frog.

Governor Long smiled and said, "Actually, Jingzhi is also very good. Brother Yu, I think your future son-in-law is not a thing in the pool. What else are you dissatisfied with? A young man's temporary frustration is nothing." More What's more, in the eyes of Governor Long, Zhang Jingzhi's situation is not actually a disappointment.

In recent years, the young talents of the military faction must have been in the limelight. Daxia has just been established, and there is an even greater need for hardliners like Fu Fengcheng, Long Yue and others. Zhang Jingzhi is right to keep a low profile and avoid being aggressive at this time.

If Zhang Jingzhi were still the eldest son of the Zhang family, he would inevitably be involved in the overt and covert struggle between his military background and his civil service background.

President Yu sighed: He was not dissatisfied at all. The only dissatisfaction was that neither of them wanted to get married.
