Chapter 289 The Silver-tongued Canary
Chapter 289 The Silver-tongued Canary
Hearing that it was a staff member of Juqing Huijin, Zhao Yaqian smiled politely and said, "Yes, hello, Sister Lili, just call me Qianqian."
After saying that, she took the initiative to extend her right hand and shook hands with the other party.
Lin Muxue brought her friends here and said they were there to introduce her to other people, so she should take the initiative to make friends with them.
She has made a lot of progress in recent times.
Especially after experiencing some big scenes, I have become more sensible in dealing with people.
Feeling Zhao Yaqian's kindness, Zhang Lili instantly relaxed and said with a smile, "Okay, Qianqian."
Chen Yue and Zhang Mengchu behind him had dull expressions, their brains still a little slow to react.
Zhang Lili in front of us has an outstanding temperament. She is about 27 or 8 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. She is dignified and elegant, confident and upright, a typical image of a workplace elite.
They are not in the same circle as me and I don’t usually come into contact with them.
The key point is that the other party was so respectful to Zhao Yaqian that he even used "you" when addressing her.
After the two briefly exchanged greetings.
Lin Muxue's confident and sharp eyes swept across the two people behind Zhao Yaqian, finally stopping on the older Zhang Mengchu.
Smiling, she said, "This must be Teacher Zhang, right? I've always heard Qianqian praise you, and today I finally get to see you in person. I'm Qianqian's best friend, Lin Muxue."
"Hello." Zhang Mengchu's eyebrows twitched and he greeted quickly with a very complicated tone.
This Lin Muxue gave her a very unusual feeling.
He wears a Vacheron Constantin worth more than 20 yuan, wears a set of high-end fashion, and drives a Mercedes-Benz S worth more than one million yuan.
Coupled with his confident and calm demeanor, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Among the clients she had served before, there were some such people, all of whom were real celebrities, wealthy and beautiful women.
Zhang Mengchu took a breath of cold air after looking at the silly Zhao Yaqian beside him.
Qianqian, who was ordinary in appearance except for her height and even a little inconspicuous in the training class, has become so unfamiliar!
What on earth had she been through in the past few months?
It seems that she is very likely serious about working in the beauty industry.
And what is this “trust” that Zhang Lili mentioned?
She has come into contact with many more people than Chen Yue, and has dealt with people at all levels.
One of the customers I know with whom I have a very good relationship is a senior financial executive at a bank.
I have also heard the other party mention the product called "trust" and have a general understanding of it.
Knowing that this is a high-end investment and financial management, many wealthy people in China will set up family trusts to ensure the inheritance of wealth.
Just as she was lost in thought, Lin Muxue turned her gaze to Chen Yue again, "Who is this?"
Zhao Yaqian introduced with a smile: "This is my friend Chen Yue, whom I met in the beauty training class before."
"Hello."
The two looked at each other, and Chen Yue subconsciously looked away, not daring to look directly at the other person.
I was feeling very nervous, not understanding where Qianqian got to know this friend and why she was so powerful.
Then he looked at the Mercedes-Benz on the side of the road with some envy.
Lin Muxue raised her eyes and looked around.
Immediately, pieces of information automatically appeared before my eyes.
LV Flore chain bag, spliced with Monogram canvas and pink calfskin, floral lock, public price 11100 yuan.
COACH's outlet women's leather skirt, no more than 2000 yuan.
The shoes and tops are ordinary high-quality women's clothing, but I can't tell the specific brand and price.
In general, she is a little girl who doesn't have much money but loves to show off.
A bit like myself when I just graduated.
When he meets the evolved me, Emperor Mu Xue, he will naturally suppress me severely.
"Let's go. It's too hot outside. Let's get in the car and eat." Lin Muxue clapped her hands lightly, motioning for everyone to get in the car.
Zhang Lili took the initiative to open the back door and said with a smile: "Qianqian, you sit in the passenger seat."
"Okay, thank you Sister Lili."
They are all slim girls, and the spacious back seat is not crowded at all for three people.
Chen Yue sat down on the soft and comfortable chair with a heavy heart, and immediately felt something blocking his back.
She quickly raised her body and took out an exquisite bag from behind.
When she saw the style clearly, her pupils dilated instantly and she exclaimed, "Hermes Birkin black and silver?"
When I saw Qianqian’s cherry pink Birkin before, she said that she liked the black and silver color combination best.
This is indeed true.
This bag has always been her dream bag, but she didn't expect it to appear before her eyes.
beautiful!
Lin Muxue, who had just sat in the driver's seat, turned around and said, "Sorry, I forgot, it's my bag. Qianqian, we have a tacit understanding today, we are carrying the same bag."
As she spoke, she reached out to take the Birkin from Chen Yue's hand and gently tugged at it, but it didn't move.
Lin Muxue raised her eyebrows slightly and reminded: "Be careful, Yueyue, don't use too much force."
This is the most expensive bag she owns. She treasures it so much that she is reluctant to carry it when she goes shopping for fear that it might get bumped or scratched.
Hearing her slightly serious words, Chen Yue's heart skipped a beat and he quickly let go of her hand, "I'm sorry!"
I was just excited and couldn't control my emotions.
Fortunately, her main job is a beautician and she doesn't do manicures.
A Birkin with this color combination costs 16 yuan even if it is a second-hand one from a second-hand store.
If it really breaks, my entrepreneurial dream will be shattered in an instant!
Lin Muxue carefully placed her bag on the armrest, fastened her seat belt, and started the car.
Soon, the silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class started slowly.
Look at the black and silver Birkin on the armrest, then at the cherry blossom pink in Zhao Yaqian's hand.
Chen Yue's heart was beating violently and his head was buzzing.
She was skeptical and critical of Zhao Yaqian's ownership of Hermès.
But she really couldn't have such thoughts about Lin Muxue, who had such a refined temperament.
It seems that what Zhao Yaqian has in her hand is also the authentic one!
For a moment, a great sense of unreality came over her, making her vision blurry.
Zhang Lili, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Chen Yue's slightly trembling hands in surprise.
Then, he took out a paper invitation letter from his bag and handed it to Zhao Yaqian who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"This is the introduction to tonight's event. The organizer is the Yan Province Medical Cosmetology Association. Wang Yu, the executive vice president of the association, is a friend of my mother. In addition to many beauty companies, there are also well-known experts and professors in the province's medical and aesthetic fields participating this time. For you, this is a good entry point."
"Thank you, Sister Lili." Although Zhao Yaqian didn't know the Yan Province Medical Cosmetology Association, she knew it was not simple just by hearing the name.
"You're welcome. It's not a big deal to me."
Hearing their conversation, Zhang Mengchu, who was sitting next to Zhang Lili, widened her eyes instantly, "Is this... really an event of the Medical Cosmetology Association?"
Zhang Lili smiled and said, "Haha, of course it's true. Why does Teacher Zhang want to participate too?"
“Thump, thump—” Zhang Mengchu’s heart was beating violently, and his mouth was dry as he asked, “Can I…can I join in, too?”
As a teacher at Excellence Training, she naturally knew this institution.
Basically all large beauty companies are members.
There are more than 50 people at the vice-president level and above, all of whom are well-known figures.
It is not only a resource integration platform, but also a leader in industry standards and specifications.
For those working in the beauty industry, being invited by the Medical Cosmetology Association is an honor, and it can also help them build their network and expand their circle.
If she can join the association and take part in a few activities, her future work and development will be smooth sailing.
"Of course." Zhang Lili nodded readily.
Listening to their conversation, Lin Muxue, who was driving the car, started to show off again.
He couldn't help but raise his lips and said, "Lili is not simple. Her mother is the deputy chief physician of the Provincial People's Hospital, and her father is a senior executive of a local bank. She is definitely a local boss in Yancheng."
In fact, Juqing Huijin is really awesome.
After entering, she found that everyone was a talented person and spoke nicely. Xiaoxue loved being there.
Now, besides memorizing words, I also make friends every day.
Because of her special identity, employees like Zhang Lili quickly became friends with her and would get together with her privately from time to time.
Zhang Lili covered her mouth and chuckled, "This name doesn't sound nice, but my family does have some connections. If Qianqian needs help, just ask."
"Yeah." Zhao Yaqian stuck out her tongue and a big smile appeared on her face.
She is a very simple person and she will be very happy when others show kindness to her.
For example, Qian Lele gave herself a delicious croissant, and she happened to have some unused lipstick on hand, so she gave her a little in return.
"Uh..." Zhang Mengchu and Chen Yue licked their dry lips at the same time and lowered their heads unconsciously.
I saw Zhang Lili was so polite before, and even said that she was an employee of some company, but I didn’t expect that her family was so awesome.
Associate professors in hospitals and senior executives in banks have very high social status in the local area, and correspondingly, they also have very rich networks of contacts.
These are people they don't normally come into contact with.
The key point is that such a person is so polite to Qianqian.
What is Zhao Yaqian's current situation?!
However, there were many people on the bus now, and they were too embarrassed to ask, so they could only sit in the back nervously.
Observing the expressions of the two people through the rearview mirror in the car, Lin Muxue's hands holding the steering wheel jumped slightly.
Looking at the wide and bright road ahead, I felt extremely happy.
……
The car stopped outside a high-end Western restaurant in the city center.
The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, with exquisite crystal chandeliers, clean and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, white tablecloths, exquisite tableware and flowers, and polite and thoughtful service...
The details are very well done.
The five of them sat down at the reserved table.
Zhang Mengchu and Chen Yue, who were sitting opposite, still looked a little unnatural.
The appetizers were served quickly.
Appetizer bread, Caesar salad, Spanish sausage…
Then, the main dishes came one after another.
French foie gras with caviar, beef bourguignon, steak, lobster, spaghetti bolognese…
How could Zhao Yaqian, who was trying to lose weight, resist such temptation? She ate with relish, smiling widely.
It’s okay to indulge once in a while; at most you can just eat less at night.
After all, she loves steak the most!
After eating for a while, Zhao Yaqian pulled Lin Muxue to start chatting with Zhang Mengchu.
It mainly focuses on the current status of the beauty market, market size, and consumer demand.
She had previously commissioned a professional research organization to produce a report and had read it carefully several times. This meeting was to ask all the questions in her mind.
Then discuss with Xiaoxue to determine the direction.
...
Wait until the meal is almost finished.
Lin Muxue slightly turned sideways, opened her bag elegantly, took out a business card from it and handed it over.
"Teacher Zhang, this is my contact information. We can add each other on WeChat."
Zhang Mengchu hurriedly and solemnly took the business card and took a look at the introduction on it.
【Lin Muxue, Senior Assistant of the Trust Committee of Slover (HK) Trust…】
Although she had some knowledge, she was not familiar with the internal positions of such financial institutions. However, she knew from the title that it was definitely not simple, and it was a foreign company.
Chen Yue, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but glance sideways, and instantly felt a sense of awe in his heart.
At the same time, an irrepressible feeling of envy and jealousy welled up in me.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Yue couldn't help but asked, "Qianqian, I heard you talk about signing a trust before. Are you referring to this company?"
The word "trust" reminded her of what Zhang Lili had said before.
Although she didn't understand these things, all the signs showed that Zhao Yaqian's change was absolutely related to this company.
After all, Lin Muxue and Zhang Lili are both employees of this company.
This made her feel upset, and she really wanted to know what had happened to Zhao Yaqian.
Zhao Yaqian nodded gently, "Yes, it's this company. Didn't I tell you before that my boyfriend will help solve the funding problem?"
Chen Yue asked blankly: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Mengchu's eyelids twitched. "I've heard of this. For rich people, trust is a wealth management tool. It can be considered as investment management, but you can set up beneficiaries and get investment returns. Qianqian, what you mean is... your boyfriend set you as the beneficiary?"
"Yeah." Zhao Yaqian nodded.
Lin Muxue beside her patted her thigh gently and said with a smile: "This family trust is used to protect Qianqian's future life and career.
Qianqian wants to work in the beauty industry and is currently doing market research.
From now on, our company will help her implement any of her ideas and provide sufficient financial resources.
But Qianqian is still young after all and needs help from a trustworthy person in the industry.
Teacher Zhang, you were Qianqian's training teacher before, and she had a very good impression of you. Do you have any intention to change jobs?"
After saying that, Lin Muxue looked at the opposite side calmly.
Today she drove a Mercedes-Benz S and brought Zhang Lili here to support her beautician friend and to show off her strength.
If she wants to make progress in the beauty industry, it is not enough to rely on her half-baked financial practitioner.
In the future, we will definitely form an assistant team for Qianqian, and the first to be involved will be professionals like Zhang Mengchu.
You need to have solid professional knowledge, have certain personal connections, and be practical and reliable.
During the conversation and interaction just now, she felt that this person was reliable, so she made an invitation.
She believed that any smart person would not refuse what they showed.
After hearing what Lin Muxue said, Zhang Mengchu's mouth suddenly became dry and he picked up the water cup and took a big sip.
His eyes flickered for a moment, and he nodded vigorously, "Of course, I admire Qianqian, too. And I feel that I am not really suitable for staying in a training school, and I still want to go out and try my luck."
Years of experience in society have given her a keen intuition and vision.
Zhao Yaqian and Lin Muxue were definitely not lying to her.
More importantly, what kind of financial resources and energy does it represent to be able to set up a family trust for his girlfriend?
Zhao Yaqian raised the lemonade excitedly, "Teacher Zhang, thank you for your trust."
Zhang Mengchu quickly touched her, blushing and saying, "Just call me Mengchu."
Listening to their conversation and watching Zhang Mengchu's reaction, Chen Yue was completely confused.
The "family trust" set up by my boyfriend? Who are the beneficiaries? Provide sufficient financial resources? Safeguard future life and career?
What is all this?
She had previously so sincerely invited Zhang Mengchu to start a business with her, but she refused without hesitation.
During the chat, he kept saying that he was very satisfied with his current job as a trainer.
Why do you want to go out and try your luck again now?
Gritting his teeth, Chen Yue lowered his head, opened his phone and started searching.
Soon, key information entered her mind.
Chen Yue's face became paler and paler, and the hand holding the phone was shaking.
A family trust is actually also a financial product, which means that the client entrusts a sum of money to a financial institution and entrusts the other party to manage the funds, and the generated income is distributed to the beneficiaries (family members).
This amount of funds can be completely isolated as assets, and many wealthy people at home and abroad use this method to protect the future of their family and children.
If you become a beneficiary, it means you can get a steady stream of income, even for a lifetime.
Qianqian's boyfriend... set up a family trust for her? Listed her as the beneficiary?
The trustee is Slover (HK) Trust? An offshore trust?
She raised her head and looked at Zhao Yaqian blankly.
Exquisite makeup, luxurious fashion, gorgeous accessories, expensive Hermès bags...
Then, the image of her boyfriend appeared in her mind again.
Chen Yue's lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but the expression on his face seemed to be frozen and he couldn't utter a word.
Her situation is actually quite similar to Zhao Yaqian's. She is pretty and has a good figure. Her family conditions are very ordinary. She graduated from high school and never went to college.
Although Zhao Yaqian is taller and has a better figure, she is also a little dumber and has low emotional intelligence.
All in all, Chen Yue didn't feel that he was much worse.
Selling myself for 8 months, getting 20...
Compared with Zhao Yaqian, I seem so cheap.
In an instant, Chen Yue's heart felt as if pierced by a sharp blade.
She knew clearly that all this was her own choice.
Some things, once done, are hard to get rid of.
I have stayed in five-star hotels, been picked up by luxury cars, been to high-end restaurants, and carried LV bags...
Desire had completely consumed her.
She never wanted to go back to her previous hard days, and it was difficult for her to settle down and become an ordinary beautician.
If she leaves Mr. Guo, and if Mr. Li or Mr. Wang wants to keep her in the future, she will still fall for him.
The so-called opening of a beauty salon is just a form of self-consolation after being abandoned by Mr. Guo.
I fantasized about changing my life with this money.
But she knew that the probability of success was not high.
After all, she was only a newbie who had been in the industry for half a year, so she wanted to bring Zhang Mengchu, a senior person, over.
Did I really do something wrong?
If I could stick to my bottom line at that time, would I be as happy as Qianqian in the future?
Once regret arises, it is like a poison that corrodes the bones and can never be gotten rid of.
……
Night falls slowly.
The multi-functional activity center of Hilton Hotel in Chang'an District is brightly lit.
The "2023 New Field of Medical Beauty Salon" is in full swing.
This is a medium-sized exchange event organized by the Yan Province Medical Cosmetology Association, which conducts in-depth discussions on the specific theme of "light medical beauty projects".
Aims to enhance understanding and cooperation among members and promote knowledge sharing and experience exchange.
After more than an hour of experience sharing and speeches, everyone poured into the banquet hall.
They gathered in groups of three or four, some whispering, some talking loudly.
Both men and women dress formally and decently.
Even Zhao Yaqian and Lin Muxue changed into business suits.
Accompanied by Zhang Lili, the three of them moved between small groups and soon exchanged a lot of contact information.
"Xiaoxue, I know this Fengyi Beauty Salon. They have a branch next to Yizi Beauty Salon. It was because the other party's business was too good and its reputation was too big that Yizi went bankrupt." Zhao Yaqian couldn't help feeling a little emotional when talking about her first job.
"Don't worry, your business will be many times bigger than theirs in the future." Lin Muxue held a glass of red wine and clinked it with hers, smiling as she said, "Maybe in the future, your store will recruit those former colleagues. That's when you'll be really proud."
Hearing this, Zhao Yaqian's eyebrows instantly danced with joy and she couldn't help but start fantasizing.
When she was working at Yizi Beauty, she was just a beauty assistant, helping Sister Li and others.
All of her colleagues are more senior than her.
If I can develop in the beauty industry in the future, I will meet those old colleagues again.
Hehe, it seems really cool!
As the two were talking in a low voice, a mature female voice sounded from the side: "Hello, are you guys free to chat?"
The four of them turned around and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman around 40 years old.
The body shape is well maintained, neither fat nor thin.
Although there are some wrinkles on her face, her skin is in good condition and she has a mature and beautiful temperament with lingering charm.
A few people responded politely.
The beautiful woman gently handed over a few business cards and said with a smile: "I heard that you are employees of an investment institution. Since you are here to participate in the beauty industry exchange meeting, do you have any ideas about this field? Our company is transforming into a dual beauty business, and you can learn more about it."
Zhao Yaqian quickly reached out to take the business card and took a look at it.
[General Manager of Isha Beauty, Zhang Yurong…]
When Zhao Yaqian saw the familiar name, her eyes widened instantly.
Is this my former boss?
Although I have never seen the real person, this is indeed the name.
When she was in the company's group, she often saw Mr. Zhang arranging work and occasionally sending out small red envelopes.
I didn’t expect to meet you in person today!
Lin Muxue next to her was also stunned and looked at Zhang Yurong in surprise.
After all, she is a member of Isa Beauty Salon, and it was there that she met her good friend Zhao Yaqian, which changed the trajectory of her destiny.
Now the three people involved met at a salon event, and she and Zhao Yaqian were the investors who were approached.
This unique experience made her feel inexplicably touched.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhao Yaqian beside her.
I guess this beautician friend feels it even more deeply.
……
Fengda International Hotel, in the independent office area.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player, [Partner - Zhao Yaqian] training plan mission ③ [Canary's Ambition] has been completed."
"【Partner-Zhao Yaqian】Growth progress +10%."
"【Partner - Zhao Yaqian】Comprehension +1."
"[Companion - Zhao Yaqian] obtains [Canary's Skill Pack*1]."
Tang Song stopped what he was doing and his eyes showed deep joy.
Congratulations! Qianqian's mission ③ is finally completed!
Open the system interface and enter the [Companion] module.
In the center of the [Zhao Yaqian] portrait card, a golden gift bag was quietly floating.
Select [Canary's Skill Pack] and open it immediately.
"Ding! [Partner - Zhao Yaqian] obtains the skill reward [Glib Tongue]."
[Glib Tongue]: An active skill that greatly enhances the flexibility, strength, control, and perception of your partner's tongue. It can easily stretch and bend in all directions, coordinating with muscles in other parts of the mouth, allowing your partner to better express their love.
Then the system light screen flickered, and Zhao Yaqian's portrait flickered faintly.
A cartoon beautician appeared on the light screen.
Holding a crystal clear red wine glass in her hand, she first blinked at him and then stuck out her rosy tongue.
She performed many difficult tongue-rolling and licking movements in succession. Her pretty little tongue was full of spirituality, as if she was doing tongue yoga.
Her look is charming and enchanting, full of indescribable charm.
"Teng!"
Tang Song stood up from his office chair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
There was an irrepressible excitement in his eyes.
Qianqian will have a treat from now on!
