Chapter 246 Barbecue, Beer, and Sleeping Together

The brightly lit commercial street, neon signs flashing colorful lights.

Outside a high-end western restaurant.

Lin Muxue put her left hand on her right arm with a calm smile on her face.

"I was just interested in finance before and taught myself some knowledge, but due to my academic qualifications, I couldn't find a related job. At first..."

Chen Siyue held up the action camera stand and said with a smile, "That is to say, in addition to your personal efforts, your boyfriend also gave you a lot of support in your career, right?"

"Well, it can be said that without his encouragement and support, I wouldn't be who I am today."

"It can be seen that you are really excellent now, Mu Xue. I mean your personal qualities and abilities. Then... finally, I will ask a somewhat exaggerated question." Chen Siyue paused and said softly: "The netizens and I are very curious. As a senior executive of a financial company, how much is your monthly salary?"

Hearing this topic, Li Da, Mao Wenqiong and He Xiaohui nearby all pricked up their ears.

What they care about most, besides Lin Muxue's boyfriend, is her salary.

This is the most intuitively comparable project.

"If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't say anything." Seeing that Lin Muxue didn't answer immediately, Chen Siyue quickly added.

“Hehe.” Lin Muxue pursed her rosy lips and said calmly: “The salary structure is quite complicated. Generally speaking, it has reached the threshold of a million-dollar annual salary. I won’t tell you the specific number.”

"Hiss——" A burst of gasps were heard all around instantly.

He Xiaohui's eyebrows twitched violently. Through her family connections, she currently works in a large local state-owned enterprise.

Leisurely and comfortable life, monthly salary is 7000 yuan.

The boyfriend I’m looking for is a second-generation factory worker. He has a car, a house, and he’s good-looking too.

But these advantages that she is proud of are nothing compared to "million-dollar annual salary" and "financial executives".

Li Da's face was tense and his eyes flickered as he stood there.

Chen Siyue took a deep breath and said, "As expected of a foreign financial company, earning this kind of salary in Yancheng can be considered financially free."

"It's okay. You can choose the lifestyle you want without having to put yourself in a difficult position."

Speaking of salary, Lin Muxue also felt a little emotional.

In order to make money, I used to work day and night and compromise.

Now, just one sentence from Tang Song has enabled him to escape from his ordinary life and enter a new class.

Fate is so wonderful.

Chen Siyue turned the camera to face herself, and said a few sentimental words while walking on the brightly lit street.

"On a summer night more than six years ago, we sat in the study room, the ceiling fan above our heads squeaked, we looked out the window and fantasized about what the future would look like."

"Today, more than six years later, I see Lin Muxue again. Time has sculpted her into a persona beyond my imagination..."

...

Stopping filming, Chen Siyue made an OK gesture to Lin Muxue, "Done, the footage for this part is almost finished. Thank you, Xiaoxue, for taking up your precious time to accept my interview."

"You're welcome." Lin Muxue raised her wrist to check the time. "I have to go back. See you on Saturday."

Chen Siyue smiled and said, "Tomorrow is Friday, Xiaoxue, are you free tonight? I finished shooting Tranquility tonight, and I want to shoot some of the bright lights and nightlife in the big city. After all, a financial expert like you must have a colorful life, and this can better show your style."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Chen Siyue said excitedly, "We can find a bar with a nice view and talk about your current life while drinking. In this way, I only need to shoot some scenes of your life on Saturday, which will not disturb you and your boyfriend too much. When the time comes, I will edit them in between, and the effect will definitely be great."

Hearing this, Lin Muxue was suddenly moved.

She didn't want to expose too much of the large flat in Yanjing Tiancheng to the Internet. She originally thought that she would just take some photos of the cloakroom, bedroom, and living room, which would be enough to shock people.

After thinking for a while, she said casually: "I'm not sure if I'm free tomorrow night, let's see then."

"Okay, it all depends on your time." Chen Siyue nodded quickly.

"That's it, bye." Lin Muxue smiled and nodded, twisting her waist and getting into the Bentley Continental GT in the parking space.

"Bye~"

"Goodbye Xiaoxue, thank you for treating me to dinner today."

Li Da waved his arms vigorously and shouted, "Bye, Mu Xue, be careful on the road. Don't worry about our classmates, I'll drive them back."

"Beep beep--" the horn sounded.

The gorgeous LED lights come on.

With the roar of the engine, the car started slowly and disappeared into the streets at night.

Li Da licked his lips, his face showing some excitement.

Just now, Lin Muxue honked the horn twice before leaving. Was she responding to me?
"Haha." He Xiaohui gritted her teeth and said, "This Bentley Continental seems to have a license plate from Shanghai. Do you think she rented it?"

Li Da shook his head and said, "I don't think so, because the license plate number is too good. Those who can get such a good license plate number in Shanghai will not be short of money. Besides, they earn a million dollars a year, so they won't do such a thing."

The headquarters of Huijiang Medical Equipment, where he works, is located in the suburbs of Shanghai.

He Xiaohui looked at the two people who looked like they were licking dogs, curled her lips, and said unhappily: "Who knows if her annual salary is really one million? What if she is just an ordinary employee of the company?"

"In such a powerful company, it would be great to be just a small employee." Mao Wenqiong couldn't help but say something.

There was an intense envy in her eyes.

She went to an ordinary second-tier university and currently works as a teacher in a training institution.

The work is complicated and hard, with a monthly salary of 5000 yuan.

Always trying to get ashore.

If there was a foreign company that would hire her, even as a clerk, she would be so excited that she couldn't sleep.

"Come to think of it, we haven't checked this company yet to see if it's as awesome as Xiaoxue said." He Xiaohui clenched her fists and took out her cell phone from her bag.

Open your browser and start searching for "Slover (HK) Trust Company Limited".

Lin Muxue mentioned this company many times during the meal before, and she even remembered the name.

"Found it. There is an official website, but it's in English only."

"Let me take a look." Li Da came over immediately.

He was a top student in high school, went to a 985 university, and his English proficiency was impeccable.

Li Da glanced at the majestic website interface and murmured, "The investment management team comes from Kate Fund and Sinsight Capital. The investment cases are all in the high-tech industry. According to the introduction above, there are also several unicorns that we are familiar with."

"What kind of companies are these two?" He Xiaohui felt a toothache after hearing this.

"I don't know either." Li Da smiled awkwardly and searched [Kate Fund] casually. This time there were a lot of Chinese introductions.

Several people can understand it.

Soon, their expressions became frozen.

[Founded in 1918 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA, it is a world-class asset custody and financial services company... The actual controller, the Kate family, manages assets exceeding US$15 trillion...]

"Uh...it seems like he's really awesome." Li Da smacked his lips and looked at his silent old classmates, not knowing what to say.

……

On the outer ring road with little traffic.

The street lights formed a winding band of light, disappearing at the end of the darkness.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~" the roar of the engine is endless.

The slightly dry evening breeze blew through the open car window, lifting Lin Muxue's hair.

20 Nami speakers play high-quality music.

"BGM: I want to listen to the music you've listened to, I want to read the novels you've read, I want to collect every moment..."

There was an excited smile on her face and sparks of joy in her eyes.

Today, she was far from being as calm as she appeared.

Joined Juqing Huijin, with an annual salary of one million, slapped old classmates in the face, Bentley Continental...

Scenes flashed through her mind, stimulating her dopamine secretion.

In order to calm her restless heart, she drove the Bentley Continental worth nearly 400 million yuan for more than minutes.

Looked at the time.

Lin Muxue turned directly out of the outer ring road and drove in one direction.

As the car entered a dilapidated old neighborhood, the rich aroma of barbecue hit us. At a barbecue stall not far away, a sweaty middle-aged woman was grilling skewers, and the blower was blowing "whoosh" amid the smoke and fire.

There was a little girl about 10 years old next to her, who helped deliver seasonings and ingredients from time to time.

Lin Muxue narrowed her eyes slightly and drove the car directly over.

Seeing the Bentley Continental approaching slowly, the middle-aged woman shouted into the open window: "Boss, your car is so expensive! The smoke from my barbecue stall is so big that it can choke people to death. Don't you dare park here!"

The car window rose up and slowly stopped in front of the stall. With a "click", the car door was gently opened.

Lin Muxue stood up gracefully and said with a smile: "No problem, I'll buy it and leave. Boss, give me thirty skewers of lamb and twenty skewers of beef, and then..."

Her words were full of Shaanxi dialect, which made the middle-aged woman feel very familiar.

Then the woman's eyes froze, and she opened her mouth wide and asked, "You are...Xiaoxue?"

"Yes, it's me." Lin Muxue nodded with a smile, and said to the stunned little girl next to her: "In the blink of an eye, Weiwei has grown up so much."

"Yes, I haven't seen you for more than two years!"

"Sister Xiaoxue." Weiwei greeted her softly, with strangeness and timidity in her eyes.

The three of them exchanged a few simple greetings.

The middle-aged woman chatted with her while grilling skewers, occasionally glancing at her clothes and the big Bentley behind her.

Lin Muxue chatted with her while looking around.

It is right next to Yancheng Vocational and Technical College, which is her university.

I used to frequent this BBQ stall.

Because they were both from Shaanxi Province, the boss took good care of her and often gave her one or two extra strings.

It is a rare and beautiful memory for her.

However, she has not been here since graduation and has become obsessed with checking in and taking photos in high-end places.

I don't know why I wanted to come here today to take another look, eat some kebabs here, and meet some familiar people.

After taking a big bag of delicious barbecue, Lin Muxue took out her mobile phone and scanned the code to pay.

He smiled and waved, "It's over. Bye, bye, Weiwei~"

"Bang!" The car door was closed.

Looking at the Bentley Continental slowly driving away, Weiwei whispered, "Mom, Sister Xiaoxue gave me a thousand dollars."

...

The car stopped outside a 24-hour convenience store outside Yanjing Huating.

Lin Muxue bought a bag of various brands of beer, cocktails, and sparkling wine.

A few minutes later, she rang the doorbell of Zhao Yaqian's house.

The door was quickly opened, and He Liting asked in surprise: "Xiaoxue?"

Lin Muxue shook the two large bags in her hands and said with a smile, "I bought some midnight snacks and beer. Do you want to join us?"

He Liting was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said, "Okay! Thank you, Xiaoxue!"

"You're welcome, we're all friends." Lin Muxue smiled and walked in.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps approached, and Zhao Yaqian appeared from the corner.

"Xiaoxue! You're here! Come in and sit down. Tingzi just cut some fruit!"

"Wow! That's great! There are so many delicious foods! Mua~ Love you Xiaoxue~"

Lin Muxue looked at the enthusiastic Zhao Yaqian and He Liting with a sincere smile on her face.

She doesn't have many friends, and if you really have to count them, Zhao Yaqian is the one with whom she has the best relationship.

Since we work in the same place, we often meet each other and we can be considered friends.

She is so happy today and she also wants to find some friends to drink and eat some skewers.

……

June 2023, 6, Friday, cloudy, 16~23℃.

It gradually became brighter outside the window.

Luxurious and comfortable master bedroom bed.

Zhao Yaqian turned over and her hand just happened to touch the smooth skin.

Then I felt a hand on my leg.

She was half asleep and half awake and thought Tang Song was coming to attack again.

"Brother Song..." She hummed softly and began to warm up actively.

On a summer morning, the room was slightly hot.

The gentle wind blew through the screen and lifted the white screen.

Zhao Yaqian, who was half asleep and half awake, frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

It took a while.

"Ah!" A shrill cry suddenly rang out.

Zhao Yaqian was so frightened that she opened her eyes instantly.

The first thing I saw was a familiar face.

"Qianqian!"

"Tingzi!?"

Zhao Yaqian screamed "Ah", quickly withdrew her hand, and rolled backwards.

He Liting was stunned and her body trembled slightly.

The voice was excited and fearful: "Qianqian! You...you...this is..."

Just now she was still dreaming, in which she was live streaming and selling goods in her own K3 live broadcast room.

The atmosphere was extremely warm, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room reached a new high, and sales continued to rise.

As a result, Mr. Tang suddenly rushed in.

In front of his colleagues, he pushed her down on the sofa and started doing whatever he wanted.

Faced with her boss, the poor female anchor did not dare to resist and could only cooperate obediently.

Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes, the person I saw was my cousin Qianqian.

This is a bit terrifying when you think about it!

No way! No way? My cousin is actually a pervert?
Seeing He Liting's gaze, Zhao Yaqian's face turned red as if blood could drip out, and she stammered: "Tingzi...that...I just..."

"Ha~" Lin Muxue on her right yawned and sat up from the bed, "What's wrong?"

Last night, they drank until almost the early hours of the morning.

Because I can't drink much, I'm basically half drunk.

Finally, we lay down on the two-meter-long bed in the master bedroom, chatted, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Seeing Lin Muxue, He Liting quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I was just having a nightmare and screaming."

Lin Muxue is now a staff member of Juqing Huijin. If she knew what happened just now, would Qianqian be considered to have violated the trust agreement?
After all, it wasn’t okay if they were talking about “women with abnormal sexual orientation”.

Um... No, my sexual orientation is normal! I love Mr. Tang!
Lin Muxue scratched her fluffy long hair, looked at the time, and instantly woke up.

"It's almost 8 o'clock. I have to get up and go back to pack. Qianqian, I think the investment direction we three discussed last night is the most suitable for you. Please think about it carefully."

Lin Muxue got out of bed and put on her clothes while talking.

Zhao Yaqian nodded quickly, "Yes, I will contact my old friends today and do some... market research."

"OK, feel free to contact me if you have anything. I'm always online! Bye Qianqian, bye Tingzi."

"Bye." "Bye~"

After watching Lin Muxue's figure disappear, He Liting looked at her cousin with complicated eyes.

She felt wronged and said, "Qianqian, if you really have that kind of fetish, I, your cousin, will have to sacrifice myself. What if you go out on an impulse to hook up with someone else, like this Lin Muxue, then we will be back to square one!"
