Chapter 698 Reunion, breaking defense

“So, I hope to reach a cooperation with Isa Beauty and bring the [Guangyun] series of products to Isa Beauty’s channels at a preferential price. At the same time, I will bear part of Isa Beauty’s endorsement fees, which can be regarded as some goodwill from Ms. Ouyang.”

“Huh?” Lin Muxue frowned, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

But with Ms. Ouyang’s status, it seems that she has no motive to deceive her.

I was very friendly to Xiaojing and her before.

Moreover, she does not have as many taboos and conflicting positions as Su Yu and Mo Xiangwan.

Should—no problem, right?

“Thank you very much for Secretary Chen and Ms. Ouyang’s kindness. I’ll go back and talk to Qianqian and get back to you as soon as possible.”

“Well, there’s no rush.” Secretary Chen raised the tea cup gracefully.

The three of them clinked their glasses.

Bei Yuwei’s legs placed under the table couldn’t help but begin to shake slightly.

Who knows how excited and nervous she is now!

Originally, the filming had just finished, and I was planning to fly to attend a commercial event, but Miss Su Yu called me and sent her to the Magic City.

Not only did he upgrade his residence from a high-end community to the Huiyue Apartment in the International Finance Center.

Now, we even got the global spokesperson for a major brand of [Tang Yi Precision].

As for the one from Isa Beauty, it’s just an addition at most.

Mr. Mo said that he would be compensated elsewhere.

At this moment, she was having dinner with the chief secretary of the chairman of [Tang Yi Precision]. This made her, a young artist who has been in the industry for many years, feel a great honor!

This is the treatment of "coming ashore"!

With Tang Song standing behind him, he really followed the right person!

Moreover, if you want to endorse, you must go to Yancheng, the headquarters of Isa Beauty Industry, then you can justifiably go to meet Tang and Song!

There is no need to worry about Miss Su Yu being unhappy.

Since the last time we said goodbye, although she has been recognized by Mr. Mo and Sister Su Yu and has obtained the top-level resources she dreams of, she is also very busy.

To be honest, I still miss my “outside boyfriend” who just confirmed their relationship.

Of course, she only dared to think about this title in private.

If Miss Su Yu knew about it, she would probably evaporate directly.

However, this is already good.

Being in the huge fame and fortune fair of the entertainment industry, you can have a solid backing and a steady stream of top-notch resources.

Being able to make money, act, sing, and become famous in a down-to-earth manner is the ultimate dream that many artists cannot achieve in their lifetime.

After dinner, the atmosphere was still harmonious.

Bei Yuwei took Lin Muxue’s arm affectionately and invited, “Muxue, it’s still early, do you want to go shopping at the International Financial Center together?”

“No. "Lin Muxue calmly withdrew her arm, "I am very pressed for time in coming to the Magic City this time."

Chen Jing on the side immediately understood and said: "Assistant Lin, I will settle down now. Let's arrange a car to take you back to the Bulgari Hotel. "

"No, Secretary Chen." Lin Muxue smiled and said, "I'd better go back to the apartment and have a look. It's hard to come here. You have to get familiar with your new home."

"Okay, if you need anything, please contact me at any time." Chen Jing did not insist anymore, and left first after saying goodbye to the two of them.

Lin Muxue followed "Little Tail" Bei Yuwei and returned to the 52nd floor of T2 Tower.

In front of their respective room doors, she just nodded slightly to Bei Yu and said "goodbye" with a slightly cold attitude.

He swiped his card directly and walked into his apartment.

"Bang"

The moment the heavy armored door slowly closed behind you.

All the reserve and alienation on Lin Muxue’s face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She kicked off her pair of irritating high-heeled shoes, threw away the Birkin bag in her hand, and then let out a long-repressed scream of excitement with an "ah" sound!

Like a deer that has escaped from its cage, running around excitedly with bare feet in this luxurious apartment full of money.

In the end, he fluttered and fell heavily on the big bed covered with top-quality Frette bedding.

Holding the soft pillow, he rolled back and forth excitedly on the large bed, his two long legs kicking in the air in an imageless way.

There were bursts of laughter coming from the mouth.

After being crazy enough, she got up from the bed and ran to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking down at the incomparable night view that was as bright as a diamond galaxy, she felt a great sense of satisfaction.

This feeling—this feeling was like being picked up from behind by Tang and Song Dynasties, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and drawing a map of the night scene.

It makes people tremble all over!

She took a deep breath intoxicated.

I immediately took out my mobile phone, adjusted the angle, and took several selfies full of "unintentional sense of luxury" with the Oriental Pearl Tower as the background.

Then, she clicked on the "Celebrity Group" that she had already set to do not disturb, and sent a few pictures to it.

He left a message: "Dear @心义, @陈成, @子chu, I asked you to help me find a house some time ago. Don't bother anymore. I just found one here that I am quite satisfied with and have already signed the contract. When I come to Shanghai for business trips, I will have my own little nest."]

As soon as the photos and text were posted, the group exploded instantly.

After all, they are all "fake socialites" who have been in the magic city for many years, and they all have sharp eyes.

Instantly saw her location and the decoration specifications of the room.

Flattery, compliments, shock, envy, flattery—.

Lin Muxue admired it for a while and felt that every pore in her body was stretched.

However, today’s Emperor Mu Xue is no longer what he used to be. Naturally, he will no longer leave too many traces of himself in such a low-level group. She rolled her eyes and suddenly made a decision not to return to the hotel tonight!

All the facilities here are frighteningly complete, from toiletries to towels and bathrobes, all are top-notch brand-new products.

There is even a small mini bar in the living room, which is filled with various top-notch wines.

After all, this is the former residence of a top lady like Ms. Ouyang, and it is much more comfortable than the Bulgari Hotel!

She also wants to experience the feeling of being a real "hostess" today.

I took a fragrant hot bath and wrapped myself in a soft bathrobe.

Lin Muxue poured herself a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, then, holding the wine glass, she sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking out the window at the revelry of the night.

A dreamlike feeling, as if one has reached the top of life, arises spontaneously.

I just drank wine and enjoyed the scenery alone for a while.

Lin Muxue’s heart moved and the corner of her mouth raised slightly.

Picked up the phone, opened WeChat, and made a direct video call to Shen Yuyan.

The video is received almost instantly.

Shen Yuyan’s equally beautiful face appeared on the screen.

She seemed to have just finished washing up. She was wearing a conservative pajamas, with her hair hanging casually. The background looked like she was in a hotel.

“Hello, Shirley, good evening.”

“Luna, it’s so late, what do you want from me?”

"I miss you," Lin Muxue pretended to turn the camera of her mobile phone casually and pointed it at the brilliant night view of Lujiazui outside the window, "I heard you chatting before, saying that you like the city of Shanghai very much and the atmosphere of Lujiazui. The weather is really good tonight, and the night view is really charming."

Shen Yuyan is clearly seen at the other end of the video. She was stunned for a moment.

Lin Muxue raised her lips even higher, "Mr. Tang helped me buy a small apartment here, right in the International Financial Center, close to major financial institutions. Although the place is not big, it is enough for one person to live in."

"Mr. Tang gave it to you—?" Shen Yuyan's unconstrained chest heaved.

“Yes.”

Lin Muxue slowly panned the camera around the room, "inadvertently" capturing the valuable furniture and appliances, as well as the small bar filled with top-notch wines.

Finally, she turned the camera back to her face and said in an extremely friendly and enthusiastic tone: "Shirley, when you come to Shanghai for a business trip, just come and live with me."

Shen Yuyan He smiled and said, "Okay. Thank you in advance Luna. You are so kind to me. You didn't rest until late at night, and you even shared your joy with me."

"That's for sure. We are not only colleagues, but also good sisters."

"Well, that's true." Shen Yuyan suddenly changed the topic, "Before I have time to tell you, I am also on a business trip today and am currently in Chengdu."

"Rongcheng?" Lin Muxue raised her delicate eyebrows.

"Yes." Shen Yuyan imitated her green tea-flavored tone and said quietly: "Mr. Tang arranged some private investment business for me two days ago. First he held several meetings online, and today he specially called me to Chengdu to help him deal with it in person. No, I'm still working overtime now. Mr. Tang is really torturing me to the point of falling apart. Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'm going to continue my work. Bye." Immediately, the video call was hung up without waiting for Lin Muxue to respond.

Lin Muxue held her mobile phone, and the showy smile on her face slowly solidified.

A strong sense of crisis surged up uncontrollably.

He threw his phone away and stood up from the sofa.

Go to your desk, open your laptop, and start forcing yourself to study.

What a scheming bitch!

You know how to scare me from behind every day!

Moreover, there is another more important and more dangerous event that is about to happen.

In the middle of this month, Tang Song will fly to New York in person to attend the most important annual global shareholder meeting of [Smile Holdings].

She can imagine what kind of terrifying scene there will be when dragons gather and gods fight!

As the only "personal assistant" in the Tang and Song Dynasties, she must accompany him throughout the whole process.

This means that she must supplement her knowledge about the company’s financial reports, global macroeconomics, and background information of various top partners.

It’s just that we can’t make a fool of ourselves and embarrass the Tang and Song Dynasties.

====

December 6, 2023, Wednesday, Imperial Capital.

It’s seven o’clock in the morning, in the suite of Wangjing Hyatt Regency Hotel.

Jiang Yourong slowly woke up from the soft bed.

She did not get up immediately, but reached out and pressed the bedside electric control, and the curtains slowly opened.

The morning light shines into the room through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the city skyline wakes up in the light and shadow.

Looking at this familiar city.

She exhaled and stood up.

Put on your coat, walk out of the room, and go to the hotel's cafeteria.

    热办办、牛角伏、草莓塔—

    一顿丰盛美味的早餐，让她心中的紧张稍稍平复。

Return to the room.

She dug out the business attire she had prepared from the bottom of her suitcase.

Take off your casual clothes, revealing your plump white body.

She couldn’t help but stand in front of the full-length mirror and carefully looked at herself in the mirror.

His eyes were full of guilt.

Compared to the "Assistant Jiang" who was still at [Smile Investment] eight years ago, she has a tight and slim figure.

Now she has gained almost twenty kilograms!

My breasts and butt have grown a whole circle, and the slender waistline I was once proud of has long been blurred.

On the lower abdomen, you can even see a layer of soft fat.

Jiang Yourong pinched the soft flesh of his waist worriedly.

Since she started "lying down", her already lazy temperament has become more and more uncontrollable.

9 to 5, three delicious meals a day in the staff canteen, and a cup of milk tea and small cakes for afternoon tea.

It’s hard not to be fat.

Are you interested in losing weight? To her, that justice was torture on earth.

Every time I swear to go on a diet, I am hit by appetite on the first day.

Weight is a "reality" that she cannot face.

It was a faint "mark of depravity" after she left Director Jin.

She smiled bitterly in a low voice and put on the slightly tight professional attire.

Look in the mirror to touch up your makeup, draw your eyebrows, and comb your hair.

Every movement carries a solemn sense of ceremony.

When everything was ready, she picked up the boat and set off.

===

It’s half past nine in the morning.

The black car slowly drove into the [Smile Holdings] headquarters park.

Jiang Yourong sat in the back row, curiously looking at this futuristic architectural dragon.

The winter morning sun shines on the huge glass curtain wall, reflecting a cold and dazzling light.

This is the headquarters of [Smile Holdings], which is the evolved "complete body" of [Smile Investment] where she once worked.

It has become grander, colder, and more awe-inspiring every time.

The car stopped in front of the south tower.

She got out of the car and just stepped into the glass door.

I saw a familiar figure coming towards me.

"Yourong." Shangguan Qiuya was wearing a black professional suit, her steps were clean and neat, and she had a gentle smile on her face, "Welcome back."

"Thank you, Assistant Shangguan."" Jiang Yourong shook hands with her.

“Well, Director Kim is already waiting for you in the office.”

“Yes.

Take the independent private elevator to the top floor

"Ding"

The elevator door slowly slid open.

What appears in front of you is an open executive floor.

The decoration is clean and artistic, with almost no unnecessary decoration.

There is a soft carpet under your feet.

The air is filled with a cool fragrance.

Go forward along the corridor.

The employees passing by were either walking quickly or focused on their desks.

The sound of keyboard and printer are intertwined.

Everything looks busy and orderly.

Paradoxical, familiar yet strange.

Jiang Yourong began to feel dazed.

She seemed to have returned to 2016, when she was a graduate student about to graduate from the Imperial University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Like all the proud men of heaven, he is full of infinite longing for the future and is extremely high-spirited.

I think I must create my own world in this city that represents the heart of China.

Therefore, she did not choose those established traditional companies, nor did she go to those Internet companies that seemed lively.

Instead, under the recommendation of my mentor, I chose a little-known financial company [Smile Investment] that had just been established recently but offered ridiculously high salaries.

Executive Director's Office-Assistant in the high-tech field, starting with a monthly salary of 30,000, year-end bonus starting in 6 months, and high performance.

You know, that happened in 2016!

For a graduate student who comes from an ordinary working-class family and is about to graduate, this attraction to justice is fatal.

What impressed her most was the young founder who personally interviewed her, Jin Meixiao.

That is a true "proud woman of heaven" who has already become famous in the corrupt financial market.

From her conversation to her eyes, from her pace to her determination, from her ability to her ambition, her whole body shone with a sense of control.

With such a person, there is no limit to your future.

After a series of "hell-level" PK losses, she finally got this coveted offer.

But then, reality dealt her a heavy blow.

The salary is high, but the work is so fucking tiring!

No weekends, no holidays, 24 hours on call.

Every day, he has to deal with a large number of business reports, connect with countless video conferences across time zones, and write a logically rigorous business plan within 24 hours for Director Jin’s unbridled ideas -

Jiang Yourong, who has just entered society, suffered the first and most profound beating from the capitalists.

She knows the difficult skills of society.

In the end, I chose to escape.

She gave up her enviable high salary and returned to campus to continue her Ph.D.

Finally, I entered Yancheng Normal University, became a comfortable university teacher, and settled directly within the system.

Originally I was very happy with my decision, because the job of a university teacher is indeed very comfortable and has a high social status.

It was done quickly, and she regretted it.

After she left, [Smile Investment] was like a rocket, and it quickly transformed into the behemoth [Smile Holdings] it is today.

Qin Yingxue, Li Shiqin, Shangguan Qiuya and others who joined the company together have all achieved great success and become influential figures in their respective fields.

But every time I read the news and see Director Kim’s interview -

That secret regret and regret will creep into my heart again.

Now, she finally got another chance.

Ren Shao is an opportunity to see Director Jin again.

"We're here."

Shangguan Qiuya stopped, raised her hand and knocked lightly on the dark wooden door in front of her.

“Dong, dong, dong—”

“Come in.”

A familiar female voice came from the door.

Jiang Yourong’s throat tightened and he took a gentle breath.

Straighten your back and push the door open.

Sunlight pours in from the entire floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire office brightly and warmly.

The air is filled with a light aroma, which is both cool and restrained.

Jiang Yourong subconsciously squinted his eyes, waiting for his vision to refocus.

The figure in the memory finally appeared again.

She was wearing a very formal white high-rise shirt, with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing her slim wrists.

The brown hair was pulled back by the shark, and a few strands of broken hair fell down on the smooth forehead.

The moment she raised her head, the light and shadow between her eyebrows were still as beautiful as before that could not be ignored.

"Jiang Yourong." She stood up after sitting at the desk, "Long time no see."

"Director Jin."

Jiang Yourong's voice was a little tight.

That call made her mind go back seven years in an instant.

"Da da da"

Secretary Jin walked out from behind the desk, walking slowly and slowly.

There is neither deliberate publicity nor excessive floating.

The mantra shirt has a soft luster under the light, and the figure is like a silhouette in the fog, so elegant that it is almost unreal.

She stopped in front of Jiang Yourong, only two steps away.

Looked at her closely.

There is no obvious emotion in those eyes, but there is an edge of scrutiny.

The air is getting stronger.

Jiang Yourong lowered his head almost instinctively and looked away.

My heartbeat was beating like a drum, and even my palms were sweating.

She actually has too much to say.

But under the oppressive gaze of the other party, all words seemed to be light and weak.

She didn’t even know whether Director Jin still remembered the “Assistant Jiang” who worked countless overtime nights to sort out information for her after so many years.

She was feeling uneasy.

Secretary Jin raised her lips slightly and said something that broke her guard:

"Assistant Jiang, I didn’t expect you to have gained so much weight. It seems that the food in the university is very good."
