Features: Jing Lili, a beautiful and kind female reporter from the southern economic special zone of China, resigns from her job at the newspaper office and becomes the Director of the General Office at the New City Real Estate Group. She faces unprecedented life challenges, experiences the fierce and cruel struggle between the righteous and unrighteous forces within the New Real Estate Group, witnesses the corrupt practices of power trading, factionalism, and selfishness among individuals like Jian Fang, He Ren, Wu Bao, Fang Jianxiong, and Luo Na, and discovers the root cause of the massive loss of state assets during China's economic transition. She firmly stands on the side of the general manager, Quan Changsong, who represents justice but is suppressed and dismissed from his position, and joins forces with advanced members of the group like Zhang Ming and social activists like lawyer Xu Jian to engage in a thrilling confrontation with the criminal gang—designing the capture of the corrupt merchant Fang Jianxiong, rescuing Quan Changsong, and outsmarting Ma Yuan. The book vividly depicts numerous economic activities, human emotions, social events, and details of customs, bringing readers an exhilarating reading experience. The grand scene of progress in the economic special zone during the reform, as well as the kind, tolerant, and united spirit of the people in the zone, who yearn for the rise of China and the prosperity of its people, are fully showcased in this book. A group of independent and self-reliant urban elites in contemporary China, especially the image of female intellectuals, shine brightly. Their attitudes toward marriage, love, and friendship demonstrate the positive humanistic achievements of China's reform and opening-up over the past two decades. In the face of temptation from power, wealth, women, and vulgar customs, they establish a new moral code rooted in the fine cultural traditions of China, which is the national spirit of the Chinese people in the new era to uphold the essence of traditional Chinese culture.
