Chapter 220: Magic City, Magic City
Mo Xiangwan...Mo Xiangwan!
This name only appeared once for Lin Muxue.
If it weren't for the Slover Trust, she would probably have forgotten the name.
[“Hello, Ms. Zhao. I am Mo Xiangwan, the witness of today’s signing.”]
As the treatment she had always dreamed of, the scenes she experienced with Zhao Yaqian that day often appeared in her mind and dreams.
Mo Xiangwan is the witness representing the trust company, while Lin Muxue is the witness invited by Zhao Yaqian.
She was not as memorable as Qin Yingxue, after all, the other party knew the chairman of her company.
I only remember that she was very charismatic at that time, with bright and lively eyes.
At that time, I just thought he was an internal employee of the company and didn’t think too much about it.
But I never expected that he was the president of Tang Zong Entertainment.
True celebrities and top elites have a status that is unimaginably high.
Her every word and action can have a huge impact on public opinion, industry development or social trends.
No wonder the trust pays so well!
Maybach, business class, super five-star hotels, Hermès private events, Shanghai International Film Festival...
The assistants who picked us up at the airport were all big shots like Su Zhuyun.
These are standard features for celebrities, and she and Qianqian are enjoying the same treatment as first-tier stars.
If Tang Zong Entertainment were responsible, then everything would make sense.
Then I thought of Luo Bin and Qin Yingxue who were present at the time.
She shuddered, as if the person she was dealing with was someone important!
Lin Muxue was just a small receptionist at a financial company in Yancheng. She never thought that she would inadvertently deal with such big shots.
What about Tang Song? He...
Lin Muxue pinched her thighs with her slender fingers, and her face turned red and then pale.
I originally thought that he was some rich second-generation who came out to start a business and experience life, but now it seems that is not the case at all.
So many big shots came just to sign a family trust for a lover.
His status and position must be far beyond my imagination.
In this case, the difficulty of taking him down would probably increase exponentially.
God have mercy on her, Xiaoxue just wants to be a canary who can show off. Tang Song, who is worth $100 million, is something she desires but is out of her reach.
Now that his status has been upgraded again, the value of the trust fund has skyrocketed.
This is a cross-dimensional battle!
"Pa~" Lin Muxue gritted her teeth and slapped her thigh.
Damn it! Why couldn’t I just let myself go at the investment conference?
Obviously I like this one too!
...
Su Zhuyun didn't say anything, but just held the wine glass and watched her every move.
It took a while.
Su Zhuyun brought the wine glass closer and said with a chuckle, "Ms. Lin, I'll toast you."
Lin Muxue came back to her senses and felt her mouth dry. She licked her lips, clinked glasses with hers, and drank the cocktail in her hand.
She said with some trepidation, "Su... President Su, of course I remember President Mo. After all, it's hard to forget someone as outstanding as her."
Although I don't know what the other party means by Timo Xiangwan, flattery will never fail.
Say something nice first, at least leave a good impression.
Su Zhuyun smiled brightly, "We didn't originally recommend that Ms. Zhao bring you along for this trust company qualification review, but because Mr. Mo asked us to do so, everything went so smoothly."
Naturally, they did not have the courage to contact or influence Zhao Yaqian. After all, she was the beneficiary of Juqing Huijin and the person they served.
But Lin Muxue is just a minor character after all.
They had already investigated thoroughly and found out that his social circle was not very good.
Many of the people who appear on her social media are "peripherals", "fake socialites" and "internet celebrities".
“This…” Lin Muxue’s face turned pale, she pursed her lips tightly and whispered, “Thank you, Mr. Mo.”
I felt lost and depressed to the extreme in an instant.
It turns out that during the trust company’s review, I’m not even qualified to be Qianqian’s friend?
In that case, doesn't that mean I am even less qualified to be a beneficiary?
"Dong——" Su Zhuyun put down the wine glass and said in a slightly more serious tone, "The three girls who came to the bar with you today are not very clean. I hope you don't let Ms. Zhao get in touch with them. If there is a problem, President Mo will be very disappointed, and you will lose such opportunities in the future."
Hearing this, Lin Muxue's hands trembled, and she quickly explained: "Okay, okay, I'm not familiar with them, we are just online friends, and I never do anything messy."
She knew Chenchen, Zichu and the others quite well, and their private lives were indeed messy.
It is also because we are not the same kind of people that I am often ridiculed by them in the group.
I came here today just to show off and get slapped in the face.
Seeing Lin Muxue's reaction, Su Zhuyun smiled and said, "Of course, President Mo still admires you very much. You can leave her contact information and contact President Mo directly if you have any questions in the future. If there are some high-end activities in the future, she may invite you to participate. On the one hand, you can make connections, and on the other hand, you can broaden your horizons."
"Hiss~" Lin Muxue took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your recognition."
After a brief exchange and contact, Lin Muxue's heart was like a roller coaster ride.
In fact, I know very well in my heart that Mr. Mo is always criticizing me and then giving me a sweet reward.
However, the gap in status between the two parties was too great, so even if she was hit, she would swallow it with pleasure.
The two of them drank a few more glasses, and Su Zhuyun stopped talking about these things. Instead, he introduced Zhang Xiaoli to her and talked about the customs and culture of the Magic City.
Lin Muxue, who was in a nervous mood, gradually relaxed.
Especially when he noticed the awed looks of Chenchen, Xu An and others, he regained his confident and calm demeanor.
No matter how humble she was in front of Mo Xiangwan, Tang Song and others, she still had enough capital to show off in front of these people.
With her legs together and stroking her long hair, Lin Muxue listened to DJ songs and tasted the Hennessy brandy carefully.
From time to time, I would take out my phone to take a picture.
I have to say that Su Zhuyun is really rich, the wine he ordered is super expensive.
Coupled with today's ups and downs in mood, Lin Muxue couldn't help but drink a little more.
The time is approaching 24 o'clock.
Under the gaze of Chenchen, Xu An and others, Lin Muxue elegantly got into the Maybach, waved gently through the car window, and disappeared into the streets of the Bund in Shanghai.
...
In the Bulgari Suite.
Lin Muxue walked in with a leisurely step and twisting her slender waist.
She kicked off her high heels, put away her favorite bag, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Because she drank a lot of wine, she was a little tipsy now, and her face was red and hot.
"Hu~" He let out a long breath.
There is only dim ambient lighting in the living room.
Lin Muxue leaned on the sofa, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window with a dazed look.
"Tang and Song...Tang and Song..."
She kept repeating these two words and opened her cell phone without realizing it.
I saw photos of the Tang and Song dynasties in the album's collection.
That was taken when he was driving a Bentley.
That day, he took himself to Xingyue City to buy luxury goods.
Like a dream.
Just like...the night in Magic City.
She was in a daze for a while, with a silly smile on her face.
A while passed.
The alcohol was taking its toll on her and her head was dizzy.
Looking at the tall and handsome Tang Song on the phone, I imagined him standing in front of me.
Her hands began to move on her body unconsciously.
Just lying on the sofa with eyes closed.
Feeling my heartbeat quickening and my mind getting confused and disoriented, I became more and more excited.
Under the cover of the cloudy night, the Bund outside the window shows a different kind of mystery and depth.
The river water flows slowly in the dim light, seemingly calm, but accompanied by a low roaring sound.
……
Friday, June 2023, 6, sunny to cloudy, 9℃~21℃.
Running, skipping rope, fat burning exercises...
After sitting down for an aerobic exercise, the [Infinite Vitality] suit on my body was already soaked.
Fortunately, it has special effects and excellent breathability, which can keep the body refreshed at all times.
In recent times, as his physical condition has improved, he has been able to feel more and more deeply the power of this suit.
You can feel the explosive power in your body every moment, especially in the gym, the effect is amazing.
"Splash——" Standing under the shower, I took a quick shower.
Tang Song stood naked in front of the mirror.
The body is well-proportioned and full of power.
The upper body is broad and strong, with smooth and unexaggerated muscle lines.
In addition to his increasingly defined six-pack abs, his pectoral muscles also gained definition.
The thigh muscles are full and elastic, and the calves are slender and powerful.
His shoulders were broad, with well-defined shoulder blades that rose and fell gently with his breathing, conveying an air of calm and confidence.
A huge sense of accomplishment surged in Tang Song's heart, and he clenched his fists excitedly.
Seeing myself getting better and better is such a wonderful feeling!
Although he was helped by system props, it also had a lot to do with his self-discipline.
Thinking back to my previous fat self, there is such a huge difference now.
Strong physique, endurance, and agility make up a strong body.
Even better than when he was in peak physical condition in high school.
He is now very much looking forward to what expression Bai Yueguang will have when she sees him now.
Although he has posted his weight on WeChat Moments before, there is a huge difference between being simply thin and having a good figure.
While having breakfast.
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound on the mobile phone rang.
I picked it up and took a look.
[Xu Qing: "I'm so sorry! Yanyan is going to the capital today. She said she and a few partners are going to visit alumni's companies. She won't be back until Sunday night. Our dinner may have to be postponed!"]
【Xu Qing: Sliding on her knees to apologize.jpg】
Tang Song raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
According to his understanding, Shen Yuyan should be very concerned about the financing of Youjie Housekeeping.
He was busy these past few days and had no time.
Today I specifically asked Xu Qing if we wanted to get together in the evening, but I didn't expect Shen Yuyan to suddenly come to the capital.
Are we going to look for some investment institution?
Shaking his head, Tang Song didn't think about it anymore.
Although I really want to exercise my investment ability through this small project, there is no need to rush.
Moreover, he has 200 million investment funds, which is absolute capital, so he doesn't have to worry about not having investment targets.
I opened the ticket booking software and booked a business class high-speed train from Yancheng to Shanghai at 15:22 today, and arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Station at around :.
He was a little impatient for his [physical blind box]. He originally wanted to contact Shen Yuyan before leaving, but now it’s easier.
I just booked the ticket, "Buzz buzz buzz——"
【Xu Qing: "Are you angry? Why didn't you reply to my message?"】
Tang Song raised the corner of his mouth and deliberately ignored her.
I opened my junior high school classmate Yao Lingling’s WeChat and shared the [Outfit - Full of Energy] that I drew last night.
The message read: "Lingling, this is the sportswear I told you about before. Thank you for your hard work."
Today, Yao Lingling is already a formal fashion designer and has a young assistant under her, so she can work very quickly.
“Ding Dong——” [Xu Qing: “Don’t be like this, I really didn’t mean to stand you up! It’s all Yanyan’s fault. I just pushed her down on the bed and ravaged her. Don’t be angry, okay?”]
Tang Song thought about it and typed a reply: "I won't accept it unless Xu Qing apologizes to me in a maid outfit."
It took a while.
When Tang Song changed his clothes, packed his things and prepared to go downstairs.
"Ding-dong-"
【Xu Qing: "Keep your word!"】
【Xu Qing: Apology video.video】
Tang Song's eyes lit up and he immediately clicked on the video to play.
In the picture, Xu Qing was wearing a black and white lace maid outfit, half-kneeling on the bed, and said pitifully to the camera: "I'm sorry!"
Tang Song read it carefully several times and gave a thumbs up to this university alumnus in his heart.
As expected of a professional cosplayer, his facial expressions and movements are very similar.
She replied: "I forgive you. By the way, Qingqing, remember to bring this dress with you next time you take photos. It's very beautiful."
Looking at Xu Qing who fell silent again, Tang Song couldn't help but chuckle.
This Qingqing is really interesting. It feels refreshing to bully her occasionally.
...
30th floor, Yunxi Building.
General Manager's Office.
A high-level meeting with only two people unfolded silently, which also determined the subsequent major changes in Songmei Clothing.
"Mengting, you can put the live broadcasting thing aside for now. Your main task next is to implement this plan and recruit employees. In the early stages of a company's development, a good organizational structure can greatly improve efficiency and response speed..."
Gao Mengting sat on the sofa, holding the "Company Organizational Structure Adjustment Plan" made by Tang Song in her hand, listening to him talk, and hesitated several times.
When Tang Song finished speaking, she pursed her lips and whispered, "In this case, we will have to recruit at least 60 more people. If we include warehouses and logistics, the company may eventually have close to employees."
"Yes!" Tang Song affirmed, "Because there are so many people, this process will definitely be troublesome. I have contacted Huo Wanjun of Bocai Yingrui, and they will do their best to help us recruit and train talents and develop a reasonable human resources system."
This "Plan" did not come out of thin air, but was based on the content described in the prop [Project Feasibility Report] he had obtained.
It is basically the complete structure of a medium-sized live streaming e-commerce company.
With the help of Bocai Yingrui Management Consulting Co., Ltd., the next step is just a matter of time.
Gao Mengting rubbed the A4 papers with her slender fingers, her eyes uncertain.
After a long while, she bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Boss Tang, you are planning to continue investing in Songmei Clothing, right?"
Tang Song was slightly stunned, then said affirmatively: "Of course!"
When it comes to clothing e-commerce, the most expensive thing is actually inventory, plus the payback period of Douyin.
In this case, most companies will choose to take out a loan.
Previously, they had been taking the light inventory route, and with Gao Mengting's batch of goods, they were able to achieve profitability so quickly.
If the company expands to the scale described in the plan, it will need at least 300 million in funds as a transfer.
After hearing Tang Song's answer, Gao Mengting took a deep breath and then exhaled it for a long time, and said sincerely: "Let's readjust the equity ratio. Now I own 25% of the shares, and I am willing to reduce it in proportion to the amount of your investment. You can decide the valuation of the company."
She had already been mentally prepared for this matter.
According to her original plan, the company would develop steadily for about a year, and after accumulating enough capital, she would invest it into the company to expand its scale.
However, when Tang Song proposed to launch three live broadcast rooms at the same time, she knew that the company would usher in a big boom.
She is actually very optimistic about the future of Songmei Clothing.
Live streaming sales is one of the hottest business models today.
We have excellent talents, a complete supply chain, and such a compatible partner.
As long as there is sufficient funding, she is confident that she can take the company to the next level.
But she really has no money. As a shareholder, this is her biggest drawback and she cannot keep up with the company's development pace.
Tang Song looked at Gao Mengting, who was disappointed but determined, and shook his head gently, saying, "No need. I will lend this money to the company personally and it will be recorded in the account as a loan for one year."
He reached out and patted her shoulder, smiling and said, "I believe that in a year, this amount of money will not be a big deal for the company."
The 1810-square-meter office area will be renovated soon, and three live broadcast rooms will be put into use soon.
He still has 200 million yuan in investment funds, which is enough to make the company take off. There is no need to waste time in the capital accumulation stage.
There is the [Growth Plan Mission] in hand, and Secretary Kim and Smile Holdings are waiting to be unlocked.
He has a sense of urgency about the future.
After a moment of silence, Gao Mengting bit her lower lip and said, "Well, I will voluntarily give out 10% of the shares as employee incentives."
"Let's not consider these for now. We haven't reached that stage yet." Tang Song suddenly pinched her soft face and said with a smile: "Come on, partner! Just do it boldly, I'll cover you!"
Gao Mengting looked at Tang Song, who stood straight, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
This kind of trust that comes from the heart brings the two people very close.
When she left, she clenched her fists, hugged him in a pretentious manner, and said gently but firmly: "I won't let you down."
Wearing high heels, her head just reached the bridge of his nose.
The warm touch and faint body fragrance made Tang Song's heart itchy.
He raised his eyebrows and imitated her tone: "Boss Gao, you are being a hooligan!"
After saying that, he put his arms around her waist and looked into her eyes with a smile.
"You..." Gao Mengting's fair face turned red in an instant. She patted him on the shoulder in annoyance, but couldn't help but secretly breathe in the scent of his body.
Feel your heartbeat quicken like never before.
Antoine said in The Little Prince: "Love is not looking at each other, but looking in the same direction together."
A like-minded partner!
Will we look in the same direction together?
Will you... be my love?
……
15:10 in the afternoon.
The high-speed train from Yancheng to Shanghai is about to depart.
"Ms. Zheng, this way!"
"Make way, everyone, make way!"
Led by the station staff, Zheng Siwen passed through the high-speed rail station's business class dedicated passage and finally successfully entered the carriage door.
While I breathed a sigh of relief, my mood became painfully depressed again.
Leaning in the corridor of the carriage, tears streaming down my face.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" the flight attendant asked politely.
Zheng Siwen waved her hand and muttered, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
She took the tissue handed to her by the flight attendant, blew her nose, and bit her lips hard.
She once thought she had a boyfriend who loved her very much.
In order to make this relationship come true, she went to work in an Internet company in Shanghai.
She rented a small apartment in a remote area, worked overtime, lived frugally, and occasionally transferred living expenses to her boyfriend, fantasizing about owning a house of their own in the future.
Her classmates and friends all say that she is love-brained, but she enjoys it.
Recently, her boyfriend has been a little cold towards her, and she thinks it’s because she’s busy with work and doesn’t spend enough time with him.
I took a special leave and secretly went to Yancheng to give a surprise to my boyfriend who was studying for a master's degree, but I didn't expect it to be a huge shock.
I saw him walking hand in hand with a girl on campus.
Now the cruel reality is before her, which she cannot accept and she doesn’t know what to do.
Being sensible and timid, she did not make a fuss or expose the matter to his face, but directly bought a high-speed rail ticket.
She wanted to escape from this city as quickly as possible and escape to the small apartment in the Magic City.
Because time was tight, only business class tickets were available.
A high-speed rail business class ticket worth 1700 yuan! She had never dared to think about it before, but this time she booked it without hesitation.
The train starts moving.
After wiping the tears from her face, Zheng Siwen walked into the business car with her bag on her back and red eyes.
The environment here is very luxurious and exquisite, with three seats in a row and a "2+1" seating arrangement, and the spacing and aisles are very spacious.
The dark red leather seats look like massage chairs and are very comfortable.
She looked at the ticket information on her phone, took a deep breath, and walked towards her seat with her head down.
The seat was next to the aisle, not by the window, which made her feel even worse.
I put my backpack away, took out my phone, opened WeChat, and clicked on my boyfriend's chat box.
As I wrote and deleted, I couldn't help but cry.
After 5 years of relationship, she still remembers the young man who sang with a guitar on the military training ground.
I also remember the scenes when the two of them were together.
what should I do?
Maybe it's really because I don't accompany him enough and don't care about him enough?
...
As she was thinking about this, tears rolled down and hit her legs.
"Are you okay? Wipe it off." A warm and pleasant male voice sounded from beside me, like a breeze blowing by.
Then, a soft tissue was handed to him.
"Thank you, I'm fine." Zheng Siwen took the tissue, turned her head and took a look, with a dazed expression on her face.
The afternoon sun poured in through the car window and fell on him.
He was wearing a thin and fitting white shirt, light blue jeans, square-framed glasses on his nose, and white Bluetooth headphones on his ears.
The hair on his head is fluffy and refreshing, his nose is straight and his lips are thin, he looks gentle and handsome.
The boy withdrew his gaze and turned his eyes back to the tea table in front of him, where an open, thick book was placed. The slightly yellowed paper seemed to have the scent of ink.
He lowered his head slightly, his profile like the undulating mountains and rivers, his eyes revealed concentration and contemplation, as if he was isolated from the world.
In this bustling summer journey, he is like a quiet and beautiful painting.
It is like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, bringing a slight coolness that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Sweep away the sorrow, boredom and loss in the afternoon.
At this moment, Zheng Siwen's eyes gradually became blurred.
She remembered the heartbeat that once was as bright and gentle as moonlight.
The one she is nostalgic for, likes and clings to should be the boy who is sitting on the grass, holding a guitar and singing "Preference".
It shouldn’t be the “he” now.
As she was thinking about this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face.
She took a deep breath, asked the flight attendant for a meal, sat down on her seat, and ate heartily while admiring the handsome boy sitting next to her.
After eating, she took out her cell phone, sent a last message to her boyfriend, then blocked him and deleted it.
She raised her head and looked out the window blankly.
The city gradually recedes, and the scenery along the way keeps changing, from plain farmland to the mountains and rivers passing by...
As night falls, the lights in the carriage become soft and warm.
I don’t know how much time had passed before the flight attendant reminded me in a gentle voice that we were about to arrive at the station.
The stars in the distant sky shine brightly with the city lights passing by quickly. This is the city where she strives, and it also carries her dreams and expectations for the future.
Zheng Siwen looked at the gentle and handsome boy who couldn't put down the book, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Hello, can you add WeChat?"
It's not about falling in love. She knows her own worth and just sincerely wants to add a friend and have some interactions.
She didn't know what the meaning of doing this was, but she felt very happy in her heart.
"Da——" the boy closed the book, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face, "Okay."
When he smiles, his lips are red and his teeth are white. He looks really beautiful, gentle and healing.
It's just like when I was a student, I would use the excuse of going to the bathroom and take a detour to go see the boy from the next class.
Zheng Siwen quickly opened the QR code.
Successfully passed the friend request.
She sent her name and added a comment below: "Thank you."
Tang Song smiled and nodded, then put the book "The Intelligent Investor" in his hand into his backpack.
His body tilted slightly, his eyes looked out the window at the hazy night.
Bright lights and music, neon lights of the magic city.
