Chapter 384: The Conquered Female CEO, Beautician and Cinderella
Chapter 384: The Conquered Female CEO, Beautician and Cinderella
"Boss, I just checked, this company is not simple." Xiang Hui, the company's vice president and marketing director sitting next to him, whispered: "This is a global foreign trust company, headquartered in Hong Kong..."
Xie Shuyu gently put down the teacup, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
The due diligence team arranged by Tang Song consisted of only three people. They simply checked the company's financial statements, compliance status and business model, and considered the investigation completed and passed the DD stage.
This was also expected, after all, his investment was for himself.
However, the professionalism and ability shown by these three people far exceeded Xie Shuyu's expectations and were even better than the previous Tiancheng Capital, which made her very curious.
So when the person in charge said he wanted to go to Weiguang Coffee to discuss the investment agreement with her, she tactfully said she would come in person.
I just want to learn more about the team that serves Tang Song, and at the same time get to know my boyfriend from the side.
The result was even more incredible than she had imagined.
This is an overseas private trust company with an elite team composed of senior trust experts, financial analysts, legal advisors and tax advisors, and backed by Jingwu Capital and Kate Trust.
Even though the branch in Yancheng has only more than 50 people, it has rented an entire floor of office space in Chengyuan Building.
The fact that Tang Song was able to mobilize employees from such an institution is enough to illustrate his strength and background.
Although she had many doubts in her heart, she would not ask unless he said it.
She is a very independent person. Even though she and Tang Song have started dating, they still hope to leave enough space for each other.
And an appropriate sense of mystery is also a kind of charm and attraction.
Similarly, she would not completely expose her emotions, life, and secrets to Tang Song.
Xiang Hui, who was talking in a low voice, suddenly stopped and sat up straight.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps approached.
Xie Shuyu raised his head and saw a somewhat familiar face.
Is it her? Lin Muxue.
After thinking for a while, I gradually recalled.
At that time, at the club of Lanfeng International, Zhang Yurong did introduce her as a senior committee assistant of a trust company in Hong Kong.
What a coincidence!
"Hello, Mr. Xie, long time no see." Lin Muxue said as she walked into the negotiation room.
"Hello, Muxue. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Xie Shuyu put down his crossed legs, stood up, and smiled politely yet warmly. "Are you an employee of Slover Trust?"
"Yes, that's right. I've seen the team's research report on Weiguang Coffee before. I'm very happy to meet you here." Lin Muxue straightened her chest and raised her head, trying to make herself more upright and elegant.
The two shook hands warmly.
Lin Muxue sat down opposite her and took the initiative to talk to her about the content of the investment agreement of Weiguang Coffee.
Looking at the graceful female president in front of her, Lin Muxue couldn't help but start making a secret comparison again.
When we first met, she was just a receptionist at Rongxin Venture Capital.
When we met for the second time, she had already joined Juqing Huijin, started learning English and integrated into the elite group.
Now, during their third meeting, she has completely changed her role and can face her with dignity.
Xie Shuyu is slightly taller than her, about 175 cm.
She also has a very good figure, with a curvy figure and long legs, and she is very thin and fair, like a supermodel.
Coupled with this dignified and elegant temperament, she does have the charm of a mature woman.
But in comparison, she is not bad in all aspects. Now she has fully integrated into the new circle and is about to own her own company.
And there is a bigger advantage, youth.
But she still knows what is important and naturally won't show these little thoughts.
Xie Shuyu is not Shen Yuyan or Xu Qing. She participated in the roadshow with Tang Song a long time ago and even asked him to do a part-time job.
She was a very important woman to him.
Who knows, one day she might become a trust beneficiary like Wenruan and Qianqian.
Thinking of this, Lin Muxue felt a little uncomfortable again.
...
The two chatted face to face for a while, and the project leader Geraint (Liu Zhengping) walked over.
Holding the draft of the Weiguang Coffee Investment Agreement in his hand.
As a member of the due diligence team, Lin Muxue did not leave, but followed them into the company's private meeting room.
After exchanging a few pleasantries.
Liu Zhengping handed two documents to her and said calmly, "Boss Xie, these are two investment agreements we drafted under the instruction of Boss Tang. There are some discrepancies in the valuation and investment amount. Please read them carefully before making a decision. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
"Thank you." Xie Shuyu raised his brows slightly, but there was nothing unusual on his face.
Picking up the two contracts and looking at them one by one, Xie Shuyu showed a look of surprise on his face.
The first contract was completely consistent with her long-standing financing needs.
The company's pre-investment valuation was 4500 million yuan, and Tang Song invested another 1500 million yuan in the A round.
The company's post-investment valuation is 6000 million yuan, and the shareholding ratios are: Tang Song (47.5%) and Xie Shuyu (52.5%).
There are no bet-against-bet agreements, buyback clauses, or anti-dilution clauses.
After this round of financing, she still holds more than 50% of the shares of Weiguang Coffee and has relative control over the company.
This was the most ideal investment deal she had ever thought of.
The second contract really scared her.
The pre-investment valuation was directly raised to 6000 million, and another 4000 million was invested in the A round.
The company's post-investment valuation is 1 million yuan, and the shareholding ratios are: Tang Song (58%) and Xie Shuyu (42%).
There are no additional terms either.
But she went from being the controlling shareholder to the second largest shareholder and lost control of the company.
But at the same time, her net worth also skyrocketed, and the company's net working capital increased by 4000 million yuan.
As a company owner, she knew very well what 4000 million in cash meant.
Many billionaires cannot afford it.
She can choose to open stores in more cities or regions, or even directly enter first-tier cities.
Do marketing, improve brand grade, optimize products...
Her original plan was to start from Yancheng and open some communities and retail stores while enriching the product range.
But with such sufficient cash flow, she can implement all her plans in one go and in a short period of time.
Moreover, in the actual operation and development of a business, bank loans are also a very important support.
With the support of large funds, they can make rational use of financial leverage to leverage more money and accelerate the development of the enterprise.
However, going any further would be beyond her ability, and if she messed up, there would be no recovery.
They need to work with stronger consulting firms and recruit more outstanding talents.
Moreover, with the courage and ability shown by Tang Song, he should be able to cover himself!
Xie Shuyu's heart was beating violently.
Many thoughts that I never dared to think about before came to my mind.
She suddenly thought of what Tang Song said that night.
【And I can help you do it】
A nationwide chain with multiple store types coexisting, cooperating with well-known IPs, establishing its own supply chain system, and even owning its own coffee factory...
Thinking of this, even Xie Shuyu, who was usually calm and wise, felt a little uneasy, and his full chest rose and fell under his shirt.
Xie Shuyu's face tensed as he said, "Sorry, I'll go make a phone call first."
"Okay, Mr. Xie, don't worry." Liu Zhengping nodded with a smile.
After leaving the meeting room, Xie Shuyu found a quiet corner and called Tang Song.
"Dududu-"
The phone rang for a long time before it was finally connected.
Tang Song's pleasant voice rang out from the receiver: "Hello, Sister Shu Yu, is this about the investment agreement?"
Xie Shuyu pursed his rosy lips and whispered, "Yes, what I want to ask is, are you serious about Plan B?"
"Of course. How about it? Have you thought about it?"
“The valuation is too high, and you’re at a disadvantage.”
"So you'll refuse?"
Xie Shuyu's eyes changed drastically, and he said with difficulty: "No."
Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she simply couldn't refuse as she regarded her career as her life goal.
Even though he knew he was taking advantage of Tang and Song.
"Haha." Tang Song chuckled and said gently, "Do you miss me, Sister Shuyu?"
"Yeah." Xie Shuyu's lips moved slightly, his expression a little unnatural.
She was not used to talking about work when suddenly bringing up relationships between men and women.
"Then kiss me."
Xie Shuyu's eyes twitched, "I'm currently negotiating an agreement at Juqing Huijin, so it's not convenient."
"My time is tight too. If you don't kiss me, I'll hang up."
"Wait a minute!" Xie Shuyu took a deep breath, remained silent for a moment, and then shamefully "booed" into the microphone.
"So sweet." Tang Song's voice was very pleasant.
"Tang Song, how...how do you talk like that?" Xie Shuyu bit her lip, a thin layer of blush appeared on her face, and she felt extremely awkward.
Although it seemed as if I was forced by him and I felt ashamed and embarrassed, I also felt a little excited which I could not describe.
"Okay, Sister Shuyu, if you have no objection to the investment agreement, then confirm it." Tang Song's voice became serious, "We can make provisions in the company's articles of association later to ensure that you have control over the company."
Hearing his promise, Xie Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little touched.
Although he had a good impression of Tang Song, they were just starting out after all.
For her, this hard-earned career is more important than love.
"Tang Song, thank you for your understanding and tolerance. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just..."
"I know, Sister Shuyu, you don't need to explain. Weiguang Coffee is your brainchild, and all I want to do is help you achieve your life goals."
Hearing his gentle words, Xie Shuyu's red lips trembled slightly, and a strong warmth surged in her heart, "When you come back from your business trip, you can come and sit with me, and I will cook you a meal."
"Great! I've never eaten a meal cooked by you. I'm looking forward to it."
"Well, be careful in Shenzhen. If you need my help, just let me know. I have many classmates and friends there."
"Okay, thank you Sister Shuyu." Tang Song smiled and kissed the microphone.
hang up the phone.
Xie Shuyu rubbed his hot cheeks, stood there in a daze for a while, and then walked towards the meeting room.
She wanted to separate work and emotions completely, but facing Tang Song's "Jin Yuan" and emotional offensive, she finally broke the bottom line.
It's a feeling I've never had before.
Like being... conquered.
Originally, she felt that her relationship with Tang Song would be a back-and-forth game.
But now it seems that the situation is somewhat beyond her expectations.
…At 11:30 am, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open.
"Sorry to bother you two."
"You're welcome, Mr. Xie. I'll take you out."
"Thank you."
Walking out of the door of Juqing Huijin, Lin Muxue took the initiative to help press the down button.
Just as Xie Shuyu was about to enter the elevator, he suddenly turned around and said, "It's almost noon, Mu Xue, do you want to have lunch together?"
Lin Muxue was stunned for a moment, then nodded readily and said, "Okay."
As she gradually got on the right track, her mentality was changing unconsciously.
Especially Tang Song said in front of other people that she was his girlfriend and would give her a gift on Valentine's Day.
It satisfied her vanity like never before.
When facing people like Xie Shuyu and Wen Ruan again, there was less hostility and aggression.
I am more thinking about how to deal with the relationship in the future.
More than twenty minutes later.
The two came to a high-end Western restaurant in Huaxin District.
The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, with great attention to detail.
Because it was a weekday and the restaurant was rather expensive, there were very few people inside.
Appetizers and main courses were served promptly.
Appetizer bread, salad, French foie gras, steak...
Lin Muxue couldn't help but picked up her phone and took a few photos.
First I shared it on WeChat Moments.
Then she took a photo of the steak and shared it with her bestie Zhao Yaqian, leaving a message saying, "This is my first time at this restaurant. I didn't expect it to taste so good. Let's go there together this weekend."
This beautician friend's favorite foods are fried skewers and steak.
Since their fight on the same bed, their relationship has heated up again.
But I've been learning dance and yoga recently, and I haven't had dinner with her for a few days.
At this moment, a magnetic voice of a royal sister sounded: "Mu Xue, can I ask you a question?"
Lin Muxue gently put down the phone and said with a smile: "Please go ahead, Mr. Xie."
Xie Shuyu looked into her eyes and asked softly, "How is your relationship with Tang Song?"
As a company owner who has been in the workplace and business for many years, she has excellent vision and emotional intelligence.
During the previous chat, she keenly sensed many things.
For example, every time Lin Muxue mentioned Tang Song, her attitude was very special, intimate and respectful, and it seemed that it was not simple.
For example, the complex emotions in her eyes when she looked at him.
Hearing her question, Lin Muxue's eyes flickered.
She didn't know how far Tang Song and the other party had come, and she was even more afraid of saying something wrong and causing trouble for Tang Song.
After thinking for a while, he carefully considered his words and said, "Mr. Xie, you may not know that I am Mr. Tang's assistant, so we naturally have a good relationship."
"Oh? So that's it." Xie Shuyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and instantly understood what he understood.
She clearly remembered that Lin Muxue was an assistant to the Slover Trust Committee.
In other words, Tang Song is a member of the committee.
Xie Shuyu raised his head and looked at Lin Muxue opposite him with bright eyes.
A young and handsome billionaire and his sexy and beautiful female assistant.
Haha, no wonder.
Feeling Xie Shuyu's aggressive gaze, Lin Muxue felt uncomfortable all over.
He gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm and asked, "Boss Xie, you should have a good relationship with our Chairman Tang, right? This investment agreement is too lenient."
Xie Shuyu put down the cutlery in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "He should be considered my boyfriend now."
“Uh…” Lin Muxue gritted her teeth and said, “No wonder, congratulations, Mr. Xie.”
Xie Shuyu nodded, looked into her eyes and said, "I am much older than you. When you are not working, you can just call me sister."
When their eyes met, Lin Muxue's eyes twitched and she looked away awkwardly.
"Okay, Sister Shuyu."
Although they didn't say it explicitly, both of them knew what the other was thinking.
Lin Muxue rubbed the ground with her high heels under the table, feeling a little disappointed.
The strength displayed by Xie Shuyu far exceeds that of Wen Ruan and Zhao Yaqian.
But she is not in a proper position.
But then it stood up again.
What a joke!
Behind these people, there is a big devil named Su Yu!
In front of such a superstar, none of us can compare to him.
Looking at the noble, dignified, cold and sharp female president opposite her, Lin Muxue smiled secretly.
When we get back to the court, be careful or I'll draw a map on you!
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound suddenly rang.
Lin Muxue quickly suppressed her thoughts and picked up her phone to take a look.
[Qianqian: "Okay, let's go eat on Saturday. Mengchu and I went to Yisha Beauty to review the contract in the morning, and we will go to the yoga studio for conditioning in the afternoon. Now we are having a simple meal at Weiguang Coffee in Yuhua District."]
A few more photos below.
Lin Muxue replied briefly and scrolled through the photos.
I have to say that since she started learning dance yoga, Qianqian's figure and temperament have improved to a certain extent, and she looks like a standard fair, rich and beautiful woman.
Then, her eyes stopped on one of the photos.
Zhao Yaqian, wearing a beige suspender dress, was holding a dessert in her hand, and a cafe employee was standing next to her.
Although their clothes, accessories and temperament are very different, the two of them look quite harmonious when standing together.
Blinking, Lin Muxue enlarged the photo and looked at the female baker in the cafe.
Good guy! Isn't this Qian Lele?
Before, Tang Song brought her to Yisha Beauty, and they performed a drama of Cinderella transforming into Snow White.
Lin Muxue was impressed by her.
I remember secretly asking the other party at that time, and Qian Lele said that he was a college student.
Is this a part-time job at a coffee shop? Weiguang Coffee?
Citing the photo, Lin Muxue left a message: "Qianqian, do you know this baker?"
"Buzzing—"
[Qianqian: "Yes, I know her. Her name is Lele. She is about the same age as me. The desserts she makes are really delicious. She always gives me some cake base every time she comes."]
He looked at Xie Shuyu opposite him, and then at the simple and innocent Qian Lele in the photo.
A bright smile instantly appeared on Lin Muxue's face.
I'll bring the beautician to poach your girls!
Then I will let you face the great devil Su Yu alone!
I hope you can be this strong in front of her!
Xie Shuyu VS Su Yu.
As if she thought of some interesting scene, Lin Muxue couldn't help but chuckle, with her eyebrows curved.
Xie Shuyu on the opposite side frowned slightly and looked at her strangely.
……
Building T1, No. 5 Shenzhen City Bay.
The sunlight pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, dancing on the smooth marble floor and complementing the carefully designed interior decoration.
"Ding ding ding-ding ding-ding-ding-ding-" the WeChat video invitation ringtone rang.
Soon, the video was connected.
A beautiful face as delicate as a painting appeared on the screen. "Good afternoon, Sister Xiang Wan."
Mo Xiangwan stood up from the sofa and said softly: "Xiaoyu, the apartment has been arranged according to your requirements. Except for the independent practice room, all your things have been moved out..."
As he spoke, Mo Xiangwan flipped the camera and walked around the room.
A total of 320 square meters, 3 bedrooms + 1 nanny room design...
The high-end decoration and the transparent and bright layout create a dreamy atmosphere of light and shadow.
This apartment is located in the middle and upper floors of Building T5, with an unobstructed view of the front, offering a panoramic view of the Shenzhen Bay sea views.
Su Yu bought it three years ago and doesn’t live in it very often.
More importantly, this is where the headquarters of Qingning Technology and Jin Meixiao's residence are located.
After walking around, Mo Xiangwan sat down on the balcony, feeling the sea breeze and said, "Xiaoyu, Mr. Tang has never confronted Liu Qingning before. He must have a hidden agenda, so I can't take the initiative to expose him. Even if I want to give him a house, I have to wait until the right time."
"I know." Su Yu on the screen lowered his eyes slightly.
Mo Xiangwan shook her head. "Tomorrow night, Juxing Huicui will hold a dinner in the nearby T7 building. Liu Qingning will attend. It is worth mentioning that she wants to become Juxing Huicui's LP."
"Uh..." Su Yu raised his head and said in astonishment, "Liu Qingning wants to join Juxing Huicui?"
The GP of Juxinghuicui is Sutang Investment Management Company, which is her family office in a sense.
This was something she did to compete with Jin Meixiao after being rejected by Tang Jin.
However, with the help of Ouyang Xinyue and Wu Kezhi, it later gathered a group of star LPs and has gradually grown into an outstanding investment management company with a high reputation in the industry.
"Well, after leaving Century Intelligence, she received a large sum of money. It would be a good choice to find a reliable private equity fund."
"I am different from Jin Meixiao. I am very willing to accept her!" Su Yu's voice was a little excited. "I have no ill will towards her. I also know her relationship with Tang Song and am willing to coexist peacefully with her."
"Don't get excited, Xiaoyu, these are all later stories." Mo Xiangwan sighed and continued, "You have also seen Mr. Tang's performance in recent months. He went to Shenzhen to find Liu Qingning, so he will definitely take action.
I have a feeling that he will accompany Liu Qingning to this dinner, and this is a very good opportunity for a showdown. "
Su Yu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
Hang up the video call.
Mo Xiangwan admired the beautiful scenery of Shencheng Bay on the balcony for a while, then stood up and walked outside.
Just approaching the entrance.
"Ding-ling-ling——" The cell phone rang suddenly.
【Qin Yingxue】
Seeing the incoming call message above, Mo Xiangwan's brows twitched.
I am really afraid of what will happen.
As the most outstanding assistant of Jin Meixiao, Qin Yingxue not only works in Tang Jin's family office, but also serves as a member of the board of directors of Qingning Technology. And like Liu Qingning, she also graduated from Imperial Capital University.
It is also the gold medal assistance that Jin Meixiao prepared for Liu Qingning, and its intention is self-evident.
Calling myself at this time, it seems that tomorrow's dinner is bound to be troubled again.
