Chapter 167 Xiaoxue, the Supporting Person
Songmei Clothing.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Tang!"
"Mr. Tang!" "Mr. Tang."
As Tang Song and Liu Mingchang walked into the office area, the employees took the initiative to greet them.
Several female employees looked at their heroic boss with sparkling eyes.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but every once in a while, I can feel that the boss has become more handsome!
He Liting showed a bright smile on her face and trotted into the tea room.
Take out Mr. Tang’s special coffee cup and a cup for entertaining guests from the cabinet.
Start making fresh coffee.
When she arrives at the company every morning, in addition to helping her boss wipe the table, she also washes the cups, just for this moment.
Turn on the automatic coffee machine, adjust the grinding degree, set the mode, and brew with high pressure...
Finally, use the whipped milk foam to create beautiful patterns.
She adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror, picked up two cups of coffee on the tray, and walked towards the manager's office.
"Boom boom boom——"
"Please come in!"
He Liting gently pushed open the office door, looked at Tang Song sitting on the sofa in the lounge area, and said sweetly, "Boss Tang, I made two cups of coffee to help you wake up."
After saying that, he walked over with "da da da" steps.
"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Mingchang stood up slightly with a smile on his face.
He Liting carefully placed the coffee in front of the two people.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lili." Tang Song smiled and nodded at her.
The beautiful lip line and white teeth made He Liting blush and her heart beat fast, and she subconsciously thought of the "sharp tongue" that Qianqian mentioned.
"Then I'll go back to work. If you need anything, please let me know."
After saying that, He Liting walked out of the office in small steps and closed the door gently.
Liu Mingchang looked at the boy opposite him and said with emotion again: "If I hadn't met you today, I really wouldn't be able to continue my business. Thank you so much."
The small company he and his friends started mainly relies on Huiguang Decoration for its livelihood and has a relatively poor ability to resist risks.
If this business is lost, the company will most likely disband.
He has parents and family to support, and he also has a mortgage and car loan to pay off. Just thinking about it makes him anxious.
But I didn't expect that the little help I gave in the parking lot would help him at the critical moment.
I have to sigh at the wonder of fate.
Tang Song took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you have thanked me 6 or 7 times. You don't have to be so polite. For me, it's just a matter of one sentence. Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Tang Song."
Liu Mingchang quickly took out a business card from his trouser pocket and put it on the coffee table. "Liu Mingchang, I opened a wallpaper decoration company with my friends. It's actually a small workshop."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, added each other as WeChat friends, and thus became real acquaintances.
We started chatting while drinking steaming coffee.
Perhaps because he drank some wine at noon and his emotions were fluctuating greatly, Liu Mingchang talked a lot.
Tang and Song also learned a lot about his experiences from his narration.
After graduating from a junior college, I first did manual labor in a warehousing company for two years, and later joined a logistics company. Although I worked hard, I just couldn't make much money.
Then I started my own business and opened a wallpaper decoration company with my friends. With a Wuling Hongguang S, I carried people and goods in all weathers, and my life gradually improved.
Before the Chinese New Year last year, he bought an Audi A4L and chased after the high school girl he had secretly loved for many years, the woman who had gone camping with him in Taiping River before.
Unfortunately, they broke up in the end. They had a lot of arguments and it was a mess.
When talking about his girlfriend, Liu Mingchang's face gradually darkened.
He laughed at himself and said, "Bai Yueguang is just like that! People change. I like her when she was 30 or years old, with short hair and a pure, cheerful look, not the -year-old fairy who is full of rituals, crazy about PUAing me, and full of negative energy."
Tang Song pursed his lips, and a smiling figure appeared in his mind.
Blue and white school uniform, high ponytail, bangs, baby fat...
"Pah..." Liu Mingchang put the empty cup on the coffee table, stood up and said, "I won't disturb you from working. I'll let you know when you're free and I'll treat you to a drink."
"Okay, I'll take you there." Tang Song stood up.
"No, no, no, I can go by myself. I won't waste your time!"
"Goodbye."
After sending Liu Mingchang out of the office door, Tang Song returned to his chair and narrowed his eyes slightly.
After chatting with Liu Mingchang, I felt like I had passed through a part of his life experience. A strange feeling lingered in my heart and I was deeply touched.
"Ding! You have triggered the branch task [Making connections], please go to the task center to check."
[Task content: "Making connections can not only help you obtain resources, information and support, but also provide support for business development, learning and growth. It is a valuable accumulation of wealth. Players are requested to actively establish and maintain good interpersonal relationships and make acquaintances with 10 people who are meaningful to you."]
[Task Reward: Perception +1, Tang Song's Glasses*1]
[Task progress: 0%]
[Note: Meaningful connections refer to interpersonal relationships that can have a positive impact on personal growth, development, and success.]
When Tang Song saw the second reward, he was stunned.
This is the second time that an item with a person's name appears, and it is his name. The previous one was [Su Yu's Soul Tribute].
see details.
[Tang Song's Glasses]: The square-frame glasses worn by the player "Tang Song" are automatically corrected to the best vision, have excellent eye protection effects, greatly relieve eye fatigue, and effectively increase reading and learning efficiency.
[Note: Only by seeing the present clearly can we see the future more clearly]
A very good item. If it is combined with Comprehension +1, it can be said to be a very generous reward.
This task must be included in the key projects and completed as soon as possible!
"Dong dong dong -" there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Then, Gao Mengting, dressed in casual clothes, walked in, holding a stack of documents in her hands, looking very anxious.
"When did you come back? Are you tired?" Tang Song asked with concern.
Gao Mengting put the documents on his desk and said with a smile, "I just came back. The new batch of cabinet withdrawals has been counted. This is the complete list."
The live streaming business went unexpectedly smoothly. Her previous batch of summer clothes in stock had been sold out, and most of the off-season clothes had also been sold at low prices.
Now that the new goods have arrived, the live broadcast can proceed smoothly again.
Tang Song picked up the inventory list and flipped through it briefly, then looked at his partner who looked a little tired.
It’s time to set up a dedicated supply chain management department.
Procurement is easy, but inventory management and logistics are indeed more complicated and extremely time-consuming.
Now Gao Mengting’s main energy should be focused on the live broadcast room, rather than these miscellaneous trivial matters.
However, this part is also very important, and you need to contact a headhunting company for screening.
Immediately afterwards, another thought popped up in Tang Song’s mind, Liu Mingchang.
This 30-year-old guy is a nice guy and has many years of work experience in warehousing and logistics. Maybe you can give him a try.
Of course, the more crucial thing is that the task of [Making connections] was triggered by him, which means that he is one of the meaningful connections.
Maybe there will be a surprise.
But there is no rush for this matter, you can take your time.
After thinking this through, Tang Song put down the list in his hand.
I asked the young and hot partner: "Mengting, what do you think our company's future live broadcast room will look like?"
The renovation is in progress, [Shocked Employees] This task must be put on the agenda.
When it comes to decorating the live broadcast room, Gao Mengting is more professional than me, so I can listen to her ideas.
Gao Mengting smiled, leaned her butt on his desk, took out her cell phone, opened a photo, and put it in front of him.
He said in a brisk tone: "I have fantasized about this a long time ago. I made a simple drawing myself before. Later, my schoolmate came to share the house with me, so I asked her to help me make a complete version using professional drawing software...
The overall style is like a dressing room in a luxury house. Our target customers are young women who pursue refinement and have a certain purchasing power.
The hidden light strips in the wardrobe can adjust the color temperature, making it convenient to display clothes of different styles and colors...
In order to highlight the host’s image, the main light is a 200w plus a 90mm deep-mouth softbox…”
She leaned slightly and introduced her fantasy with bright eyes, becoming more and more excited as she spoke.
In the end, he just walked around the room, excitedly gesturing to Tang Song about his ideas with his hands.
In a sense, she is a true idealist.
There is great enthusiasm in my heart for success and the future.
While she acts seriously and calmly, she also has a sense of innocence and spirituality, which is also her most charming aspect.
Tang Song likes to be friends with such people.
I casually forwarded her design draft to my WeChat, and just as I returned to the main interface, I saw a message pop up.
[Dong Zhiping: "Senior, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a meal."]
Tang Song raised his head, shook his phone at her, and said calmly: "Dong Zhiping asked you if you are free tonight. He wants to treat you to dinner."
Gao Mengting took the phone and replied briefly, explaining, "This is one of my schoolmates. He used to work as a market analyst for a large e-commerce company in Hangzhou. I heard that he recently returned to Yancheng, so I wanted to recruit him to our company."
"Yeah." Tang Song nodded. "Come on, let's continue talking about our live broadcast room. Seeing you talk so well, I'm already excited."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to Gao Mengting.
The two sat side by side on the back of the sofa, looking at the miniature landscape of the city outside the glass curtain wall, and began to chat.
……
Tuesday, August 2023, 5, sunny to cloudy, 23~17℃.
Zhao Yaqian got up early.
I felt it carefully when I went to the toilet and it seemed that I had fully recovered.
In other words, you can have fun again!
I tidied myself up carefully and when I walked out of the bedroom, He Liting had already bought breakfast.
They sat at the table in the living room and started eating.
He Liting asked, "Hasn't your resignation been finalized yet?"
"Yeah." Zhao Yaqian took a bite of the meat bun, puffed her cheeks, and said in a vague tone: "The beauty salon is too short of people. The manager is already recruiting. I saw that there was an interview yesterday. I should be able to leave in the next two days."
When she was in the most difficult time, it was Isha Beauty Salon that gave her an opportunity.
Even if she wants to leave now, Zhao Yaqian hopes that it will not affect the work of the beauty salon.
"That's good."
Zhao Yaqian drank a mouthful of hot millet porridge and said, "Tingzi, I don't know why, but when I think about leaving my job, I feel weird inside. I can't sleep well at night."
"It's normal. After all, it's hard to find a stable job. You are a typical lack of security, plus you are in debt, so this is the case. It will be fine after you sign the trust."
He Liting understands this feeling too well. She and Zhao Yaqian both come from small places and their families can provide very little support.
Therefore, they are particularly obsessed with money and will panic if they lose their jobs.
Zhao Yaqian asked in a low voice: "Tingzi, how much money can you get from the family trust that Brother Song mentioned in a month?"
He Liting shook her head. "How would I know? But according to the information I found, he makes tens of thousands a month. If Tang Song is generous enough, it's possible... I mean it's possible that he can make a million a year."
"One million!" Zhao Yaqian exclaimed, not even bothering to eat her meat buns. "That's so much! No way!"
Her expectations were actually not high, after all, she was spending her boyfriend's money.
You don’t have to worry about renting a house, food and clothing, you can use your credit card Huabei with confidence, and go traveling occasionally, that’s all.
"Who knows? After all, Tang Song is so rich and so good to you." He Liting said this and became a little envious and jealous.
With Tang Song's figure, appearance and character, Qianqian would not suffer any loss even if she gave him nothing!
Zhao Yaqian gritted her teeth, her eyes sparkling.
What would it be like if you had a stable income of one million a year?
You can eat fried skewers as much as you want, steak as much as you want, and go into those high-end restaurants as you like.
You can move in with Tingzi to a high-end apartment or villa in the city center.
When shopping, just buy whatever you like, brand name clothes, cosmetics, and skin care products.
Occasionally, you can also spend money on top luxury goods such as Chanel, LV, and Hermes.
...
"Click!" A crisp snap of fingers rang in her ears, interrupting her reverie.
He Liting took out a piece of paper and handed it over, "Wipe your saliva."
"Oh oh." Zhao Yaqian smacked her lips, and the uneasiness in her heart disappeared without a trace.
She works her ass off now, but only makes about 5 or 6 yuan a month.
Even if the trust gave her tens of thousands of yuan a month, it would be enough for her to spend. The most important thing was that she could receive the money for a long time without having to worry about unemployment.
After eating, they washed, put on makeup, and did their hair, then they went to work together.
9 o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Yaqian changed into a work uniform and walked into the beauty salon. She carefully sorted out the skin care products and equipment, and then came to the service area on the first floor.
While chatting with colleagues, I waited for customers to come in.
Weekday mornings are the least crowded times in beauty salons, and also the most relaxing times for them.
"Qianqian, there is a client you have an appointment with, go over and meet him."
"Okay!" Zhao Yaqian agreed and walked quickly to the front desk. Then, she saw the fashionable and beautiful Xiaoxue.
After checking out the "199 yuan special package", Zhao Yaqian enthusiastically took Xiaoxue to the beauty salon on the second floor.
First, a thorough cleaning was carried out, followed by comprehensive care.
Lin Muxue, who was enjoying it with her eyes closed, asked softly, "Qianqian, your boyfriend who is going to support you for the rest of your life, did he say anything after you made your choice?"
Zhao Yaqian blushed, lowered her head slightly, and whispered: "I followed your suggestion and chose 3, and then he agreed and said he would help me arrange everything. I have submitted my resignation and should leave the beauty salon this week."
Lin Muxue opened her eyes slightly and asked in surprise: "You want to resign?"
I finally found a beautician friend who allowed me to take advantage of special deals with peace of mind, but now he's leaving.
"Uh-huh."
Lin Muxue was silent for a moment, then said, "Did he say anything? You were doing well here, it's a pity for you to leave like this."
Some sisters she knew before had also encountered this kind of maintenance situation, but many of them were just for fun.
In the end, I lost my job and got no substantial benefits.
Zhao Yaqian whispered, "He said he had set up a family trust and wanted me to be the beneficiary, so my future life would be guaranteed."
Lin Muxue's eyes twitched, and she asked in surprise, "Family trust?"
"Well, Xiaoxue, you work in finance, can you tell me the ins and outs of this?"
"Excuse me, how old is your boyfriend?"
Zhao Yaqian was stunned for a moment and said, "25 years old, what's wrong?"
"Uh...are you sure he's not kidding you? Family trusts are usually set up to pass on wealth to wealthy families, and the starting amount is tens of millions of yuan. Your boyfriend is so young, even if he has money, it's unlikely that he would come up with something like this to support you."
After all, after working in the financial company for a year and having more contact with colleagues, Lin Muxue also understands basic financial knowledge and can buy some financial products herself.
Zhao Yaqian said with certainty: "I don't know about this, but my boyfriend will never lie to me."
"Okay, I wish you good luck." Lin Muxue pursed her lips, but didn't care in her heart.
Qianqian is still too young and too easy to believe what others say.
She has come into contact with many rich second-generations, most of whom still rely on their families.
In order to prevent them from squandering, their living expenses come from insurance and funds purchased by their families.
Although living in a mansion and driving a luxury car may seem impressive, it is impossible to come up with 1000 million to set up a trust.
Their parents would not agree.
About an hour later, Zhao Yaqian put away the equipment and said softly, "Xiaoxue, the project has been completed."
"Thank you, Qianqian." Lin Muxue sat up from the beauty bed and looked at her skin in the mirror.
Zhao Yaqian put everything in order, took out her cell phone from her pocket, looked at it, and her face was stunned.
Lin Muxue asked curiously: "What's wrong, Qianqian?"
"It's okay, my phone has been in silent mode, and I suddenly saw a few missed calls just now..." Before Zhao Yaqian finished her words, the incoming call interface appeared on the phone screen again.
It’s still that local landline.
Since there was no one else in the beauty salon at the moment, Zhao Yaqian answered the phone directly, "Hello."
Then, a relieved male voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Ms. Zhao, we finally got in touch with you!"
Zhao Yaqian said in a somewhat nervous voice: "Um, my phone was on silent just now and I didn't see it. What can I do for you?"
"I'm Zhang Chengyuan from Slover Trust's Yancheng office. I'm calling to inform you that your trust beneficiary agreement has been drafted and you can come over to sign it."
Zhao Yaqian's eyes suddenly widened, her face flushed, and she asked, "Ah! Um, can we do it now?"
"Well... the signing will take a long time, as it is almost noon now, so I suggest you come at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I have sent you the address and contract details via text message." Zhang Chengyuan paused, "President Tang will not be here in person this time, but his representative, Attorney Luo Bin, will be here and provide you with legal aid services."
"Oh, okay, okay, thank you."
"That's it for now. Please keep your phone accessible this afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yaqian was so excited that she almost shouted out, and her hands and feet kept moving.
I didn't expect it to come so soon! I couldn't help but start imagining "what life would be like if I had a million dollars".
Lin Muxue asked curiously: "Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
"It's about the family trust. The other party informed me that I can go over to sign the contract!" Zhao Yaqian replied excitedly and casually opened the text message APP.
There was indeed a new message at 9:10, but she didn't notice it at all.
The expression on Lin Muxue's face paused, and the look she gave Zhao Yaqian became incredulous.
Checking the text message, he muttered to himself: "Address: 29th floor, Chengyuan Building, Juqing Huijin... Bring your ID card..."
"Xiaoxue, can you help me look at what's behind this? I'm a little confused." Zhao Yaqian quickly handed over the phone.
Lin Muxue bit her lip, took the phone and looked at it, then explained, "In order to confirm the authenticity and validity of the signing process, you can bring no more than three witnesses. They must be third parties with no conflict of interest, adults with legal capacity, and professionals in non-trust relationships. If you have your own legal or financial advisor, you can bring them along, too."
This notice can be said to be very formal. Some precautions are written very clearly, and much of the content is beyond Lin Muxue's understanding.
It also made her feel even more incredible.
It’s like a friend suddenly says he wants to buy a lottery ticket, and then wins the grand prize.
Who would have thought that an ordinary beautician would be involved in a trust fund worth tens of millions.
This world is really just a huge makeshift team!
Zhao Yaqian thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Xiaoxue, are you free this afternoon?"
"Uh, yes."
"That's great! You just meet the requirements for being a witness, and you work in financial investment, so you can be considered a professional!" Zhao Yaqian said excitedly, "You can be a witness and help me to keep the peace. I'll treat you to a big meal at noon!"
She had never experienced such a scene before, and Tang Song was not present.
Lin Muxue is the most prestigious of all her friends. She is the leader of a large financial company and a wealthy girl. Looking at her circle of friends, she often attends various activities and meetings. She is definitely an educated woman.
With her support, I don't have to worry about making a fool of myself.
Lin Muxue licked her dry lips, not knowing what to say.
Are front desk executives at financial companies also considered professionals?
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded in agreement guiltily, "Okay."
She was really curious about what the trust belonging to Zhao Yaqian was like.
I also want to witness the signing scene. It would be best if I could take some photos of the scene so that I can post them online and on WeChat Moments later.
It is very helpful for packaging your own image.
"Thank you, Xiaoxue! Wait for me a moment. I'm going to ask for leave from my boss. I'm going to go home and change into some nice clothes. I'll treat you to a western steak for lunch!"
"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes, and we'll meet at the restaurant at noon."
……
12:30 noon.
When Zhao Yaqian, wearing a beautiful white dress, came to the restaurant and saw Lin Muxue, she couldn't help but reveal an envious look in her eyes.
He sincerely sighed: "Xiaoxue, your dress is so beautiful, full of aura, fashionable and sexy, it must be very expensive, right?"
"It's not bad, it's just a few tens of thousands of dollars in total." Lin Muxue smiled, feeling secretly proud.
In order to match today's occasion, she took out all the clothes from the bottom of her closet.
This Dior shiny silk dress was bought at a special price for 29500 yuan.
This Fendi coat-style cape was also bought at a special price of 8800 yuan.
Valentino high heels, 9600 yuan.
In addition, her bags, earrings, and watches are also genuine luxury items.
She usually wears this outfit when attending important occasions or parties. It's so precious.
I believe he should be able to calm the situation down!
"Click, click—" After taking a few selfies, the two began to eat the delicious steak.
Lin Muxue's movements were very graceful, natural and pleasing to the eye, and it was obvious that she had practiced seriously.
Zhao Yaqian was filled with envy and subconsciously started to learn from him, but she always fell short.
After lunch.
Lin Muxue took out a bottle of exquisite mouthwash from her bag, calmly cleaned her mouth, and sprayed some nice-smelling air freshener.
It looks very refined.
Seeing Zhao Yaqian's eager look, she burst out laughing and handed the thing over, "Here, take it!"
This beautician is so innocent, all her emotions are written on her face.
It is so easy to be friends with such a person that Lin Muxue is too lazy to pretend.
Zhao Yaqian took it somewhat embarrassedly and began to operate it like her.
13:30 in the afternoon.
The two took a taxi from the restaurant and headed straight to Chengyuan Building.
Walking into the bright and spacious lobby on the first floor, Zhao Yaqian subconsciously grabbed Lin Muxue's arm.
She had never been to such a formal office building before, and she felt a little nervous looking at the white-collar workers coming and going around her.
Lin Muxue stood straight and took her hand and strode towards the front desk.
I took the elevator smoothly and went straight to the 29th floor.
As the elevator door slowly opened.
Lin Muxue patted her hands and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, I'm here for you."
Seeing Xiaoxue, who was elegant, calm, confident and generous beside her, Zhao Yaqian's heart gradually settled down.
Fortunately, I didn’t come here alone. It’s great to have Xiaoxue here.
Walk out of the elevator door.
They both stopped in their tracks.
In the corridor, there were many tall and neat men and women in suits standing. At first glance, they looked intimidating, as if some important person had arrived.
Lin Muxue's mouth twitched, "Hey, Qianqian, are you sure you're here to sign a contract?"
"I...I don't know either." Zhao Yaqian looked a little flustered. How could this be different from what she had imagined?
At this moment, a voice came from the side, "Ms. Zhao, you are here!"
Then, a middle-aged woman walked over quickly and said enthusiastically, "Everyone is here. I'll take you there."
"Okay, thank you." Zhao Yaqian bowed politely.
The three of them walked through the corridor and stepped into the spacious and magnificent lobby.
Looking at the gold-plated company introduction above, Lin Muxue's heart began to lift.
Slover(HK) Trust.
It turned out to be an offshore trust company!
Walking along the corridor, you can see the luxurious and restrained decoration, the employees in suits and ties, and the upscale atmosphere.
Zhao Yaqian looked around, feeling embarrassed and afraid.
Lin Muxue tightened her grip on the bag a little.
Why does this small office seem to be more powerful than Rongtin Venture Capital?
The three of them turned left and right and walked into a quiet private office area.
The middle-aged woman opened a black wooden door and gestured with her hand, "Please come in, both of you."
Zhao Yaqian shrank her neck and squeezed Xiaoxue's arm tightly.
Lin Muxue took a deep breath, put on a formal smile, and walked in with her.
"Squeak--click--" As the door slowly closed, the two girls' hearts also beat loudly.
The dark-toned office area is solemn and majestic, and the ornaments and furniture inside are full of calm and heavy texture.
There were only three people in the huge private office area.
One man and two women, all standing.
Hearing the noise here, they all looked over here with extraordinary momentum.
The man showed a decent smile on his face and walked over. "Hello, Ms. Zhao, I am Luo Bin, Mr. Tang's agent and legal advisor."
Wearing a tailor-made suit, double-breasted collar, French cufflinks, and a colorful tie.
He has a handsome face, a simple hairstyle, a 3:7 split that bulges backwards, and he looks mature and steady, with an excellent image and temperament.
"Hello... hello." Zhao Yaqian lowered her head and nodded pleasingly.
The sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps was heard.
A woman in her 30s came over and said with a smile, "Hello, Ms. Zhao, I am the witness of today's signing, Mo Xiangwan."
She was wearing a khaki casual shirt, black trousers, and black high heels.
The most eye-catching thing on her beautiful face is her bright and lively eyes.
Elegance and wisdom radiate from the inside out, and every word, every action, every gesture reveals a unique charm.
"Hello."
Immediately afterwards, another younger woman came over and looked straight at Zhao Yaqian.
With her hair tied up with a clip and wearing an exquisite fashion, she exudes a full sense of abstinence.
After a moment, a big smile appeared on her face. "Hello, I'm Qin Yingxue, the investment consultant of Slover Trust."
"Hello." Zhao Yaqian replied quickly.
The smile on Lin Muxue's face gradually faded, and her legs began to tremble.
Wow, each of these watches is worth over a million!
