It was March, the beginning of spring, and the north had just passed through the season when the ice and snow melted and everything came back to life.
But in Shenzhen, located in the south, it is already a scene of blooming flowers and vibrant spring.
The moment Xiao Baojun stepped out of the train station, a city atmosphere completely different from that of the north instantly enveloped him.
Here, there is no lingering chill of early spring in the north, only a warm, humid breeze and a faint floral fragrance permeating the air.
From afar, Xiao Baojun spotted Yi Chunni standing in the crowd.
She wore a gray business suit, looking capable and efficient. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, swaying gently in the breeze. Her delicate and charming face, caressed by the spring breeze, resembled a blooming flower, vibrant and captivating, making one utterly enchanted.
Such a fresh and refined appearance instantly dispelled the fatigue of Xiao Baojun and his group.
Seeing Yi Chunni waving enthusiastically at them, Xiao Baojun immediately put on a friendly smile and quickened his pace to greet her.
As he approached, he smiled and said, "Manager Yi, thank you so much for coming to greet us personally. It is truly an honor!"
Yi Chunni, on the other hand, acted very generously and cheerfully, laughing as she spoke.
"Minister Xiao, you are an important leader in our company. It would be inappropriate for me not to personally come and greet you since you have graced us with your presence today. Besides, I am truly sorry to have troubled you with this special trip because my previous work was not up to par!"
Xiao Baojun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He looked gently at Manager Yi in front of him and said softly.
"Manager Yi, I'm well aware of the situation in your area. This isn't a problem with your ability; the leaders at headquarters are perfectly aware of it!"
So please don't underestimate yourself! You should know that the success of these stores in Pengcheng is all thanks to you, it's truly not easy!
The main reason I came here is to lend you a hand, give you support, and boost your confidence so you can go all out and achieve great things!
Upon hearing this, Yi Chunni's face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile, as bright as spring flowers.
She glanced gratefully at Xiao Baojun and replied softly, "Thank you so much for your understanding and support, leaders!"
Then, she turned around gracefully and gestured.
"Minister Xiao, let's not stand here talking. The car is waiting outside."
Moreover, I have already prepared a sumptuous welcome banquet for everyone at the head office!
Minister Xiao, you must be starving after your long journey. How about we eat and chat later, and I'd like to hear your wisdom?"
"Manager Yi, please!"
The group politely declined each other's advances before boarding the two luxury business sedans that Yi Chunni had specially arranged for them.
Xiao Baojun gracefully opened the car door and sat down next to Yi Chunni in the spacious back seat of the car in front.
It was dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire city of Shenzhen in a golden hue.
As night falls, the streets and alleys of Shenzhen are instantly illuminated by colorful neon lights.
Like a dazzling galaxy, it meanders through the city. The roads are bustling with traffic, one car after another speeding past like shooting stars, forming a continuous ribbon of light.
Those young figures were particularly eye-catching; dressed in fashionable and trendy clothes, they exuded youthful vigor and confident charm in every gesture.
Some people chatted and laughed in groups of three or five, while others were alone, immersed in their own world, occasionally stopping to admire the exquisite goods displayed in the shop windows along the street.
As one of the first coastal cities in China to open up to the outside world, Shenzhen has rapidly risen to become a vibrant and dynamic modern metropolis thanks to its unique geographical location and policy advantages.
Compared to many cities in mainland China, this place is undoubtedly more prosperous and bustling.
Skyscrapers stand side by side, shopping malls, star-rated hotels, and high-end office buildings are everywhere; a strong commercial atmosphere permeates the streets and alleys, and both large enterprises and small businesses are thriving here, jointly composing a magnificent chapter in the city's economic take-off.
Even though it had only been a little over a year since he last set foot here, Xiao Baojun could clearly sense that the city had undergone tremendous changes.
If one had to choose a word to describe this change, then the idiom "rapidly changing" would undoubtedly be the most fitting and appropriate.
At this moment, Xiao Baojun couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: The power possessed by the nation is truly immense! Once it is determined to change the development trajectory and destiny of a city, then under the impetus of this magnificent force, all plans and ideas will be realized and manifested at an astonishing speed.
Looking at the towering buildings, the wide and clean streets, and the endless stream of vehicles and people in front of him, Xiao Baojun was filled with emotion.
The roads have become wider and smoother, and the transportation facilities have become increasingly sophisticated.
The traffic lights flashed in an orderly fashion, directing the vehicles coming and going; the sidewalks were lined with shady trees and lush flowers, creating a fresh and pleasant environment for people.
With the continuous advancement of urban infrastructure construction, the level of public services has also been significantly improved, and resources such as education and medical care have become increasingly abundant and of higher quality, allowing residents living here to enjoy more convenience and well-being.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the country's high attention and strong investment that this city has been able to shine so brightly in just over a year.
Xiao Baojun knew that all of this was by no means accidental, but rather the result of the wisdom and hard work of countless people.
It is believed that in the future, this city will continue its rapid development and create more amazing miracles.
As Xiao Baojun was gazing out the window in a daze, Yi Chunni asked a question, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"Minister Xiao, I heard that you're getting married soon! And, I've heard that your lucky wife is none other than Zhou Ruolan, the hottest and most famous star right now! Minister Xiao, you're so lucky, it's truly enviable!"
Xiao Baojun, who was lost in thought, was startled by these words. He was taken aback, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips, but he ultimately did not utter a single word in response.
Indeed, everyone who knows that his girlfriend is the superstar Zhou Ruolan says the same thing, believing that his life must be as blissful and beautiful as a poem.
However, how many people can truly understand the various troubles and worries that a celebrity's family member endures?
The car quickly arrived in the city center and stopped in front of a luxury hotel called Jinbaoli, right across from the Panlong Clothing Pengcheng flagship store.
