Number One

In Paris, the executive Emmanuelle Blachey works at an aeolic energy company and is doing business with the Chinese. She speaks Mandarin and is aware of their culture; therefore, the Chinese businessmen like doing business with her. She is married with the also executive Gary Adams with a young daughter and an adult son. She has many tasks as executive, mother and wife and sleeps only four hours a day. When a feminist group led by the lobbyist Adrienne Postel-Devaux and Vera Jacob invites her to be the next president of the Anthea, a governmental water and basic sanitation company from the CAC 40, she is reluctant in principle. But soon she accepts the proposal and has to face the misogyny of the powerful and influential Jean Beaumel and his unethical assistant Marc Ronsin. Beaumel is a former president of Anthea that has embezzled 800.000 Euros and hidden from the contributors and will play dirty to force Blachey to give up.
