Chapter 452 We Are About to Intersect
Building A, Yan Province Financial Center.
A gloomy sky enveloped Yancheng, with thick clouds hanging low.
Lin Muxue sat anxiously in the office, looking at her watch from time to time.
On the table stood a cup of cold American coffee, and next to it was an open document covered with densely marked English notes by her.
It was approaching two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang.
【Liu Jiayi】
Lin Muxue answered the phone immediately and said in a steady and clear voice, "Hello? Jiayi."
"Yeah, okay, I'll be down right away, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Muxue twisted her body excitedly, closed the document, and stood up.
She adjusted her clothes and hairstyle in front of the dressing mirror, picked up the Hermès Birkin bag on the table, picked up the exquisite pick-up sign, and walked out of the office with light steps.
"Tada ta-ta--" the high heels tapped out a crisp rhythm on the floor.
Along the way, I said goodbye to my colleagues with a smile.
Take the elevator directly to the underground garage.
Walking out of the elevator, Lin Muxue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her eyes looked towards the black Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The majestic body of the car glows with a low-key luster under the lights.
The tall and agile Liu Jiayi stood there quietly, looking at her calmly and nodded gently, "Assistant Lin."
"Good afternoon Jiayi, thank you for your hard work."
"Click——" Liu Jiayi took the initiative to open the back door for her.
Lin Muxue took a deep breath, feeling a little flattered. She quickly quickened her pace, said "thank you", bent down and sat in the car.
A light scent of leather and woody notes fills the nose, making you feel happy.
In her impression, this female driver Liu Jiayi has always been very aloof, and this is the first time that she has taken the initiative to open the car door for her.
Maybe it’s because she has evolved into “Tang Song’s general assistant”.
Thinking of this, Lin Muxue showed appreciation in her eyes: Very good, Xiao Liu, your performance is good. If there is a chance for a raise in the future, I will say a few good words for you.
The car slowly drove out of the garage and merged into the hustle and bustle of Yancheng on a cloudy day.
Feel the luxurious interior and the envious and awe-inspiring glances from passers-by from time to time.
Lin Muxue leaned back in her chair, couldn't help but twist her legs, and secretly took a few selfies of herself.
As a veteran photographer, she is very skilled at taking selfies.
In each photo, you can see the interior of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Swiss watch on the wrist and a Hermès Birkin bag.
Select the photo and share it to Moments, set permissions, and write: "Every step of effort is to meet a better self."
Not long after it was posted, there were a lot of likes and comments, which is also the normal treatment for a popular woman.
[“As expected of Mu Xue, this aura is amazing!”]
[“Rolls-Royce, Vacheron Constantin and Hermès, this is really the world of the rich~”]
[“Muxue, are you free recently?”]
...
While browsing short videos, Lin Muxue refreshed her circle of friends from time to time, appreciating the flattery from others, and her mood became increasingly good.
3:45 p.m.
The car drove into the VIP parking lot of Yancheng International Airport.
"Assistant Lin, we're here. I'll be waiting for you at the exit later."
"Okay, thank you Jiayi, bye."
The glass sensor door of the VIP channel slid open silently.
The mirrored walls on both sides of the passage reflected her nimble figure. Lin Muxue deliberately slowed down her pace and adjusted her posture to keep herself in the best condition.
As she walked into the bright and clean hall, a series of fiery gazes were quickly cast on her.
Lin Muxue raised her chin slightly and walked to the VIP reception hall with elegant steps.
After checking the time, he sent a text message to Zheng Qiudong: "Director Zheng, I'm at the airport."
Then he reported to Tang Song again, then sat down on a chair in the rest area and waited quietly.
Waited for more than half an hour.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he walked to the VIP pick-up gate.
A surprised voice suddenly came from the front: "Mu Xue?"
Lin Muxue looked in the direction of the voice and said with a smile: "Manager Guo, long time no see."
It was her old boss at Rongtin Venture Capital, administrative director Guo Wenlei. This was the first time the two had met since she left the company.
Then, Lin Muxue raised her eyebrows slightly.
Standing next to Guo Wenlei was a man, the investment manager Gu Cheng, with whom she once had a good relationship.
Looking at Lin Muxue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Gu Cheng's eyes burst into a strong light.
The light white slim-fit suit paired with a black hip skirt outlines her graceful figure.
Neatly pinned hair, delicate and three-dimensional face, and elegant yet gorgeous makeup.
The earrings and necklace sparkled under the lights, and elegance and sexiness were revealed naturally in every gesture.
The interaction between Lin Muxue and Tang Song in front of him at that time made him mentally broken.
His self-esteem prevented him from ever contacting the other party again.
I didn't expect that when we met again, Lin Muxue would become so stunning.
If Lin Muxue still had some deliberate refinement in the past, now she is like a "high mountain flower" that has been washed away of all worldly desires, naturally exuding refinement and splendor.
Guo Wenlei looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Lin Muxue and said with emotion: "If Gu Cheng hadn't said it just now, I would have almost failed to recognize you. You have changed so much, and you are getting better and better."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Manager Guo." Lin Muxue smiled.
Gu Cheng took a half step forward and smiled handsomely, "Long time no see, Mu Xue, how are you doing recently?"
"Very good." Lin Muxue responded indifferently.
Gu Cheng said casually, "Are you here to pick someone up at the airport? A client?"
"Yeah." Lin Muxue casually pointed to the three big words "Pick-up Point".
Seeing her distant look, the smile on Gu Cheng's face froze and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
When they were in the company, he was the male colleague who was closest to the other party and they had always had a good relationship.
During the chat, she always called me "Brother Gu, Brother Gu".
Who would have thought that when we met again, he would be so cold.
Thinking of Tang Song's provocation to him, Gu Cheng frowned and didn't go up to him to curry favor.
Lin Muxue didn't care about his feelings. She turned to Guo Wenlei and talked to her about the recent changes in the administrative department.
The job at Rongtin Venture Capital was her first job after graduating from university, and she had a very deep memory of it.
At the same time, she also learned that the person who came to pick up Guo Wenlei and Gu Cheng at the airport was also an important figure.
He is the risk control director of the corporate finance department of Ping An Bank, and he was accompanied by Xiong Yanfeng, the company's vice president in charge of investment business.
Rongxin Venture Capital has developed very well recently. With the help of the local government, it plans to jointly develop low-risk credit products for small and micro enterprises with Ping An Bank.
During the conversation, Guo Wenlei kept sighing, and her eyes when she looked at Lin Muxue became more and more complicated.
She has always admired her subordinate Lin Muxue, who has a good image and temperament, and has good communication and adaptability skills.
However, when we met this time, the other person's conversation, manners, and spirit were like a completely different person.
After a while, ground staff approached and informed them that the flight was about to land.
Lin Muxue ended the chat and placed the pick-up sign facing the exit.
After waiting for a few more minutes, passengers began to come out of the aisle.
Lin Muxue's eyes flickered as she saw the vice president, Xiong Yanfeng, with a middle-aged man in a suit and tie beside him.
Xiong Yanfeng is the second-in-command of Rongtin Venture Capital, and his prestige in the company is second only to that of the chairman and president Li Xinguo.
After all, Lin Muxue had only worked in the company for more than a year as an ordinary receptionist. When she suddenly saw Mr. Xiong, she was still a little in awe.
But this feeling was only fleeting.
Guo Wenlei and Gu Cheng who were standing nearby immediately came over:
"Boss Xiong." "Boss Xiong."
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, welcome to Yancheng. I am Guo Wenlei from Rongxin Venture Capital."
"Hello, Mr. Zhao. I am Gu Cheng from Rongxin Venture Capital."
"Hello, I'm Zhao Yuan."
Several people stood together and exchanged a few words.
Xiong Yanfeng noticed Lin Muxue standing on the side and asked in surprise: "Wen Lei, isn't this Xiao Lin from your department? I remember she resigned."
Lin Muxue, the front desk administrator, is actually very famous in the company.
After all, he could see her as soon as he arrived at the company every day. Even these big leaders were impressed by this sexy and beautiful female receptionist.
Guo Wenlei quickly explained: "Yes, I just happened to meet you here."
Lin Muxue looked at Xiong Yanfeng with bright and confident eyes, and said calmly and naturally: "Hello, Mr. Xiong."
"Hello, Xiaolin." Xiong Yanfeng smiled indifferently.
Lin Muxue raised her brows slightly.
Old bear, you are awesome! How dare you call me Xiaolin? I will open your eyes when I have the chance!
Let you know the status of Rongliu Capital’s general assistant—Emperor Mu Xue!
At this moment, Zhao Yuan next to him suddenly said, "Oh?! Are you here to pick up Mr. Zheng?"
Xiong Yanfeng then noticed the pick-up sign in her hand and asked in surprise, "Director Zheng?"
They both flew here from Guangzhou as well, and were in the business class with Zheng Qiudong.
Although Xiong Yanfeng did not know the other person, Zhao Yuan, a middle and senior management of Ping An Bank, did know him and they briefly greeted each other in the cabin.
But I didn't expect that Lin Muxue was here to pick up Zheng Qiudong.
Guo Wenlei and Gu Cheng looked at the pick-up sign in her hand and their faces were stunned.
Gu Cheng blurted out: "Zheng Qiudong from Dejurenhe?"
"Well, yes." Lin Muxue smiled implicitly, but her toes in her pointed high heels couldn't help but start moving.
That's the benefit of being well-known.
Just a name can change these people's attitudes drastically.
Then, Lin Muxue's eyes suddenly brightened and she raised the pick-up sign in her hand a little higher.
At the corner of the VIP channel, Zheng Qiudong's figure appeared there.
He was wearing a well-cut navy blue custom suit with straight shoulders and a perfectly fitted waist, which made his already slender figure look even more upright.
His angular face exudes a cool and heroic air.
His hair was trimmed meticulously, with a few strands of silver faintly visible at the temples, but he did not look old at all, but instead added a touch of maturity and stability to his temperament.
Compared to the image of him found on the Internet, the real Zheng Qiudong is much more outstanding, with a strong aura and a sense of confidence that he is in control of the overall situation.
I don’t know why, but Lin Muxue always feels that the other person looks familiar.
There weren't many people in the VIP channel to begin with.
The two of them naturally saw each other easily.
Lin Muxue took a deep breath and walked forward with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, good afternoon, I am Lin Muxue, welcome to Yancheng."
Zheng Qiudong's eyes swept around her, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lin, thank you for coming to pick me up in person." As soon as the word "Mr. Lin" came out of his mouth.
Xiong Yanfeng, Guo Wenlei and others all showed looks of astonishment on their faces, and their eyes towards Lin Muxue became completely different.
This is Zheng Qiudong! How could he be so polite to Lin Muxue?
"Hiss——" Lin Muxue got goose bumps all over her body, and she felt so happy that her soul seemed to come out.
My favorable impression of Zheng Qiudong instantly reached its peak.
Look! No wonder they were able to found such an awesome company like Dejurenhe!
His emotional intelligence and the way he treats people are really amazing!
As the general assistant of Rongliu Capital, it is actually okay to be called "General Manager Lin" occasionally in private.
But for someone of Zheng Qiudong's status, calling her that is definitely a compliment to her.
"Mr. Zheng, you're too polite. It's my honor to come and pick you up." Lin Muxue smiled slightly, with just the right amount of humility and confidence in her tone.
Zheng Qiudong smiled and nodded, and politely greeted Xiong Yanfeng and Zhao Yuan next to him.
The group exchanged greetings as they walked out of the VIP exit.
The black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove slowly over and parked steadily on the side.
The car door opened and Liu Jiayi got out of the car swiftly. She first helped Zheng Qiudong put the suitcase away, and then gently opened the back door.
Lin Muxue said softly: "Director Zheng, please get in the car."
"Thank you." Zheng Qiudong bent down and sat down.
Lin Muxue turned her head slightly, nodded goodbye to several "old colleagues", and sat down gracefully on the other side.
Watch the Rolls-Royce slowly drive away.
Xiong Yanfeng and Guo Wenlei quickly calmed down and called Zhao Yuan to walk towards the prepared business car.
Gu Cheng's thoughts seemed to still be on Lin Muxue, and his heart was burning with passion.
It seems that he still underestimated this "beautiful, rich and beautiful" colleague.
The previous indifference now seems to be a sign of complete confidence.
After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and found Lin Muxue's contact.
He opened the chat box and carefully asked, "Mu Xue, are you still working at Juqing Huijin?"
Then, a striking prompt popped up: "Luna has turned on friend verification. You are not his (her) friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first..."
Gu Cheng's face darkened instantly.
……
Inside the luxurious carriage.
Zheng Qiudong looked at Liu Jiayi who was sitting in the driver's seat and said with a smile, "Assistant Liu, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Mr. Zheng."
Zheng Qiudong leaned back on the soft chair and said in a relaxed and casual voice: "Shangguan has arrived in Yancheng. I wonder if you have met him?"
"Oh?" Liu Jiayi's voice was filled with emotion: "She didn't tell me about this."
"Haha, that's just her being unkind. It means she doesn't consider you as a friend. I suggest you teach her a lesson after you meet her."
At the end, there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Lin Muxue, who was sitting next to them, stared at the two of them blankly. She didn't expect that they actually knew each other.
And it seemed very familiar.
Also, who is that Shangguan?
However, she was not very familiar with either of them and was too embarrassed to speak up.
At this moment, Zheng Qiudong suddenly turned his head and looked at her with bright eyes.
Lin Muxue subconsciously sat up straight and smiled brightly.
Zheng Qiudong raised his lips and said, "Mu Xue, how is Mr. Tang doing recently?"
"pretty good!"
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for nearly a year, and I miss him terribly." Zheng Qiudong shook his head and sighed.
In fact, it was he who took the initiative to propose coming to Yancheng this time.
Tang Song only conveyed the human resources plan for Huachang Clothing to Lin Bai.
Under normal circumstances, two professional headhunting teams can handle the task.
But he really couldn't wait any longer. Deju Renhe was currently at a critical moment, and his development philosophy diverged from that of Director Jin.
Even though he submitted the merger agreement on the Chinese Valentine's Day as Shangguan Qiuya reminded, it was still ruthlessly rejected.
Although Director Jin gave many business reasons, his intuition told him that the other party was making things difficult for him because he helped Su Yu deal with the matters of Nebula International Group, Guangying Media and Wenruan.
His ambition and desire drove him to continue, and he needed the support of Tang and Song.
After all, I took the blame just to help his woman.
The car slowly approached the city.
Lin Muxue tried hard to remain elegant and calm as she chatted with Zheng Qiudong.
Most of the time, it was Zheng Qiudong who asked about Tang and Song.
……
Huayun Center, Building B, Guangying Media.
"In three days, I will have the team give you a preliminary plan. If you have any questions, we can communicate at any time."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. For us at Guangying Media, quality always comes first."
"Um, okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Wenruan let out a breath, leaned back slightly, and leaned against the back of the leather chair.
His fingers casually fiddled with the leaves of the green plant on the corner of the table.
After a moment, she narrowed her eyes and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
I casually picked up my phone, clicked on Tang Song's WeChat profile picture, and typed briskly: "Mr. Tang, did you miss me today?"
"Buzzing—"
[Tang Song: "Sister, do you miss me?"]
A sly smile appeared on Wenruan's lips, and her fingertips tapped the screen briskly: "Of course I do. I just finished today's work and I'm very angry. I need you to help me calm down. Come to my office now and I'll give you something good to eat."
Then she unbuttoned a button and opened the collar of her coat, revealing the deep cleavage underneath.
I took a photo and shared it directly.
After his last encounter with Xie Shuyu, Tang Song owed her three payments, and he has not repaid her once so far.
Recently, she often uses this to tease the other party, which is also her greatest pleasure after work.
[Tang and Song Dynasty: Helpless (emoticon package)]
[Tang Song: "I'm in a meeting now, please stop making trouble."]
Wenruan chuckled softly, and her fingertips slid quickly across the screen: "A meeting, wouldn't that be exciting? Do you want me to help you...keep you alert? You should know how kind-hearted my sister is."
After teasing Tang Song for a few sentences, Wenruan felt particularly happy. Before the smile on her lips faded, there was a gentle knock on the office door.
"Please come in." Wen Ruan immediately sat up straight, and the expression on her face returned to her usual calm and capable self.
Then, assistant Zhang Xintong walked in quickly, holding a document in her hand, and her voice was bright and clear: "Mr. Wen, the air tickets and hotel to Shenzhen have been arranged. Here is the itinerary plan."
"Yeah." Wen Ruan nodded, took the document handed over by Zhang Xintong, and glanced through it briefly.
Qingning Technology will release a new generation of large models and a new version of AI search software [Qingmi].
She will attend the conference as a director of Nebula International.
Of course, more importantly, she will meet Liu Qingning.
Tang Song was still unaware of this matter.
After closing the file, Wen Ruan looked up at Zhang Xintong, "By the way, is tomorrow the opening ceremony of the International Fashion Exhibition?"
Zhang Xintong quickly said: "Yes, President Wen, this is a very important event. I have planned the itinerary for you."
Then, Zhang Xintong introduced the details of the event again.
The exhibition was co-organized by the Provincial Department of Commerce, the Textile and Garment Industry Association and Meigou International Import and Export Trade.
Co-organized by Yancheng People's Government and Yan Province International Trade Promotion Council.
The aim is to promote cross-border business in the province and drive industrial technology upgrades.
Wen Ruan listened and said softly, "Okay, I will personally attend tomorrow's event. You go and confirm all the details to make sure everything is perfect."
As a leader in the local advertising and media industry, Guangying Media is responsible for the overall publicity and planning of the event, including online and offline advertising, media coverage, and social media promotion.
This event is of great benefit to Guangying Media.
It is an excellent channel for acquiring customers as it allows you to be exposed to a large number of participating brands.
……
The tires made a slight rustling sound as they rubbed against the ground, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove into the drop-off area of the Lanfeng International Hotel.
Lin Muxue and Zheng Qiudong got out of the car one after another and walked calmly into the hotel lobby.
"Mr. Lin." "Mr. Lin."
The employees around stopped what they were doing and came forward to say hello.
Lin Muxue nodded slightly in response, with a confident and calm smile on her face.
Accompanied by staff, take the exclusive elevator to the executive floor.
As the elevator slowly goes up.
Lin Muxue glanced sideways at Zheng Qiudong beside her, her eyes paused slightly.
For some reason, she always felt that Mr. Zheng looked very familiar.
It was as if we had seen each other somewhere before.
Uh...it seems to be in this elevator.
Lin Muxue took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Director Zheng, I admire you very much. Can we take a photo together?"
Hearing this, Zheng Qiudong turned his head slightly to look at her and nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
Lin Muxue quickly took out her mobile phone from her handbag and turned on the front camera.
Zheng Qiudong showed a gentle smile on his face and moved a little closer, but still maintained just the right distance, appearing both intimate and appropriate.
With a soft "click", the photo of the two people was frozen on the phone screen.
Lin Muxue let out a sigh of relief and felt happy, as if a wish had been fulfilled.
"Ding——" the elevator door slowly opened on the 29th floor.
Walk into the bright and spacious corridor.
Zheng Qiudong suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, Mu Xue, you are going to attend the Yan Province International Fashion Exhibition tomorrow, right?"
"Well, yes." Lin Muxue was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Zheng Qiudong smiled, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "I wish you all the best."
Lin Muxue was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what the other party meant, but she still thanked him.
The corners of Zheng Qiudong's mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, but he didn't say anything more.
His gaze seemed to pass through the end of the corridor and look further away.
Shangguan Qiuya's arrival has sent a very clear signal that it won't be long before Director Jin will come to Yancheng in person.
Being Mr. Tang’s personal assistant is not an easy position.
After all, this part of the work was once handled by Director Jin himself.
