Chapter 542 Tang Jin Manor
Chapter 542 Tang Jin Manor
Night enveloped Yancheng.
The glass curtain wall of Lanfeng International Apartment reflects the floating lights of the city.
"Ding--"
The elevator door slowly opened, and the sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Lin Muxue, wearing a well-tailored business suit and pointed high heels, was the first to walk out of the elevator, followed closely by her two rich second-generation friends Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao.
They were dressed in bright clothes and had exquisite makeup, and they gathered around her, chatting and laughing.
“The environment here at Lanfeng International Apartment is really nice.”
Lin Muxue's lips curled up slightly, and her tone was calm: "It's mainly for convenience. It's close to the company, and the service is perfect, which saves me a lot of energy."
"Indeed, the property services are synchronized with Lanfeng International Hotel, and the 24-hour butler service is very suitable for a busy person like you."
The three of them chatted all the way and arrived at the door of Room 2002.
Lin Muxue raised her hand and pressed the fingerprint lock. With a "click", the heavy door opened. Warm yellow light poured out, highlighting her calm and elegant figure.
"Welcome to my home, please come in." She stepped aside to let the two of them in.
The Vacheron Constantin watch on her wrist flickered gently, and the Tiffany Soleste diamond pendant between her collarbone swayed slightly with her movements, adding a bit of dazzling brilliance to her.
Step into the entrance hall.
The walls are covered with leather and decorated with soft spotlights, creating a low-key and luxurious atmosphere.
It is worth mentioning that there is a doormat with the letter "Luna" on it on the floor.
"The decoration is really nice and stylish!" Zhang Xi praised sincerely.
“This chandelier is from the Ferruccio Laviani series. I saw it online and it’s really beautiful in person.”
"Oh, I saw you asking about this B&B chair on your WeChat Moments a while ago. Did you buy it so quickly?"
Lin Muxue casually placed the Hermès Birkin bag on the shelf and said nonchalantly, "I thought it was pretty, so I ordered it directly. It didn't cost much anyway."
"Well... that's 8 yuan..."
"Xiaoxue is capable."
The three of them continued walking towards the living room.
The whole house has a smooth flow of movement, and outside the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the prosperous night view of Yancheng.
The spacious and bright space and the carefully arranged furniture all demonstrate the owner's aesthetic taste and financial strength.
After a brief tour, Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao looked at each other, with mixed emotions in their hearts.
Just now in the cloakroom, they saw the Hermès Birkin 20 White House (First Snow) displayed on the cabinet.
In addition to this top-notch bag worth 200 million, there are also clothing, jewelry, accessories from first-line brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Dior, etc.
They have known Lin Muxue for more than a year. At first, they met by chance at a cocktail party, and later they deepened their understanding because of the incident of wearing the same clothes.
Although Lin Muxue was dressed exquisitely at that time and claimed to be a senior manager in a financial company, she always had a hint of "pretense", as if she was trying hard to maintain an excellent image.
The things she uses are all ordinary luxury goods level, and the most expensive bag is a Chanel bag worth only about 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.
When they go out to eat, they are often the ones who pay the bill.
Both of them come from wealthy families with assets worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, so they naturally look down on Lin Muxue subconsciously.
However, because the other person really knew a lot and we had common topics, I made friends with him.
The real change came when I learned about her other identity - an executive of Lanfeng International Hotel.
It is also because of this identity that they are willing to invest in Xuetang Culture.
But this meeting after the National Day holiday once again refreshed their cognition.
One can clearly feel that Lin Muxue's temperament and confidence are different.
Noticing the little expressions of her two old friends, Lin Muxue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and walked more briskly.
After getting a black credit card, she finally got rid of her "boasting" and became a real "rich person".
After calming down.
The first thing she did was to activate memberships for all videos, music, online storage, and novels.
The second thing was to comprehensively upgrade his own home by adding a lot of luxury furniture to make the entire space more textured and tasteful.
It was similar to when Qianqian signed the trust contract.
Of course, this is a credit card after all, so the company has to pay the bill.
The two things she did were also related to the Tang and Song dynasties.
She is Tang Song's assistant, and he occasionally comes to live at home. Creating a good living environment is very important.
Those video and music memberships can also help the boss relax.
And tonight was the first time she brought friends home after her promotion.
She chose these two "investors" deliberately.
One is to show off, the other is to demonstrate strength and establish one's dominance.
Although she is the main figure in the development of Xuetang Culture, these two beautiful, wealthy and fair friends still have some filters for her.
Only by appropriately demonstrating your awesomeness and breaking their cognition can you make them feel completely at ease to follow you.
I changed into a comfortable dress in the dressing room.
Lin Muxue took out a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne, and with her slender fingers she lightly unscrewed the cork. With a soft "pop" sound, the amber liquid slowly poured into the Heritage limited edition crystal glass.
The crystal glass reflected brilliant light under the light, and the bubbles of champagne jumped happily.
Lin Muxue couldn't help it, so she took out her cell phone and took a few photos, then shared them on WeChat Moments.
Only then did he pick up the wine glass with satisfaction and started chatting with Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao.
"Ding ding ding~~"
The sound of wine glasses clinking was crisp and pleasant.
Soon, likes and comments flooded into the circle of friends.
As an extremely popular woman, she was used to this kind of treatment.
However, one comment caught her attention instantly.
[Shen Yuyan: "Xiaoxue, your nightlife is so colorful, you are surrounded by stars, I really envy you."]
Lin Muxue couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
If there is anything that makes her particularly happy recently, it is that Shen Yuyan suddenly became her "licker" and "like maniac".
In the past few days, whenever she shared updates about "showing off wealth", "socializing" and "parties" on her Moments, Shen Yuyan would be the first to like them, and what she said was very pleasant to the ear, expressing envy and jealousy from time to time, giving her a lot of emotional value.
If it weren't for that "special assistant" who suddenly appeared, how happy she would be now!
She actually had some guesses about the so-called "special assistant".
It might be the foreign woman who was humming and moaning on the other end of the phone when she was talking to Tang Song.
She heard all the disgusting "dirty words" that were said on the phone at that time.
You can tell at first glance that he's not a good person.
Maybe I’ll have to develop some new skills with my beautician friends in the future.
Speaking of which, Qianqian's tongue is really dexterous and has great potential.
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas.
It's not easy to be an assistant, Xiaoxue sighed.
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound rang.
【Tian Jing: "Is that so? I didn't even notice it myself."】
Lin Muxue's eyes lit up.
These days she has been deliberately getting close to Tian Jing to find out information.
But Tian Jing's attitude remained cold.
I didn't expect that today he would change his usual behavior and be particularly enthusiastic.
After thinking for a while, Lin Muxue replied: "Your skin is very fair, and it suits strawberry red/coral red very well. These fresh and sweet colors are very suitable. I will give you a lipstick someday."
"Buzzing—"
【Tian Jing: "(holding her face excitedly) Wow! Mu Xue, you are so good at praising people~"】
Lin Muxue was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong, but she continued: "(#covering mouth and laughing) Let's go shopping together next time? I promise to praise you so much that your face will blush, haha."
【Tian Jing: "Hey! You...do you want me to wear all kinds of clothes to show you?"】
Lin Muxue's finger hovered above the screen, speechless for a moment.
Why is this conversation taking a weird turn?
After hesitating for a while, he replied reluctantly: "Xiao Jing, you have such a good figure, you must look good in any clothes."
[Tian Jing: "You actually have a great figure, I think you're very sexy, especially your legs."]
Then, the content of the conversation started to go awry.
The expression on Lin Muxue's face became more and more strange, and she seemed to be unable to bear it anymore.
Oh my god! Why do I feel that Tian Jing is a weird girl?
Lin Muxue shuddered, quickly replied "I'm going to take a shower" and put away her phone.
Turn your attention back to Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao.
Lin Muxue clinked glasses with the two and told them the purpose of meeting them today. "You should know that Xuetang Culture has been developing well recently. The short drama market is booming now, and my company needs to expand further. Next, I plan to start a financing plan. What do you think? Are you interested in participating?"
After saying this, she took a sip of champagne, her movements elegant and natural, as if what she had just said was just a casual remark, but her eyes were filled with expectation and exploration.
The popularity of the short plays has now far exceeded her expectations, and she is now short of manpower and venues.
Xu Ning and the three small employees alone could not handle the work.
If we don’t increase investment and expand the team, our existing business will soon reach a bottleneck.
However, her actual savings were not much, only about 20 including the gold bars.
Although the black credit card has a monthly spending limit of $15, this money can only be used for work-related expenses and cannot be cashed out.
She is well aware of this and will never risk crossing the bottom line.
Although with her current status and position, she can definitely seek financing from a professional financial institution.
But she knew her own level and was afraid of being cheated and the company being out of her control.
Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao are the best choices.
After all, the initial capital of Xuetang Culture was barely supported by these two people who each invested 30 yuan.
These two people trusted her and were easy to control.
Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then nodded vigorously at the same time: "No problem! How much money do you need? Let's discuss the specific plan."
Hearing this, Lin Muxue's mouth corners slightly raised, and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I will let my professional team make a financing plan, which will definitely not infringe on your interests." Lin Muxue's tone was gentle but confident, "Come, let's toast to our future."
"cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The cold champagne slid into my throat, with a slight sourness and sweet aftertaste.
Lin Muxue leaned lazily on the single sofa, her long legs crossed elegantly, and the Dom Perignon in her hand reflected fine golden light under the light.
She spoke casually, "By the way, Jiaojiao, Xixi, I'm going to fly to London next month to attend the Imperial College Global MBA alumni meeting. This year's event will be held at the Duke of Charleston's private estate. Do you want to go over there and spend a few days together?"
Zhang Xi's glass suddenly stopped and the champagne almost spilled.
His eyes widened and his voice unconsciously raised: "Wait...Xiaoxue, are you a graduate student at Imperial College?"
Li Yujiao also sat up slightly and looked at Lin Muxue with complicated eyes.
It was as if I got to know this friend all over again.
"Yeah." Lin Muxue crossed her legs, swirled her wine glass, and said lightly, "I was attracted by the network of people behind it. My boyfriend felt sorry for me because I was busy with work, so he made a connection with the school's development office without telling me. After I donated some money and discussed an academic cooperation project, the school gave me a fast track."
Li Yujiao's throat rolled, and she stared at Lin Muxue in disbelief: "Is that the boyfriend you mentioned before, the one who invested in the Yannan Film and Television Base?"
"Yes, that's right." Lin Muxue nodded gently.
Zhang Xi's breathing became rapid. "This...Xiaoxue...did your boyfriend get you a fast track through donations and academic cooperation?"
She obtained her university degree from the British Academy of Sciences, so she naturally knew how high the threshold was for Imperial College to make an exception and accept a "donation".
That is definitely not a small amount of money, not to mention the resources and connections behind it.
The energy that can make the world's top universities give the green light to a person is simply suffocating. "Haha, actually I really want to take the exam myself, but he is a domineering person and doesn't want me to leave him for too long."
Lin Muxue took a sip of champagne, a blush appeared on her face, and her voice was filled with sweetness and shyness.
First, show off in front of old friends, and then when you get to London, start showing off all over the Internet!
He completely solidified his image as a financial intellectual and also showed Shen Yuyan, Tian Jing, Xu Qing, Yao Lingling and others a glimpse into his life.
Thinking of this, Lin Muxue quickly closed her legs.
I held back my urge to pee and admired the shocked expressions of my two old friends.
Being pretentious is an art, and I am reaching the pinnacle of it.
()
What “special assistant”? When you join the company, Emperor Mu Xue will definitely give you a warning!
I might even draw a map on you later!
At this moment.
With a "click", the apartment door was pushed open.
Then, steady footsteps were heard.
The three of them looked over at the same time.
A tall figure appeared at the entrance, wearing a neatly tailored silver-gray suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a strong aura, and holding a shopping bag in his hand.
As if he had noticed the movement in the room, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the three people, revealing a handsome face.
The nose is high, the lip lines are clear, and the hair is black.
Under the warm light, the whole person seems to be covered with a soft halo.
He seems like the protagonist from a workplace drama, or like an "urban dignitary" who accidentally breaks into the real world.
The air seemed to stagnate for a few seconds at this moment.
Lin Muxue's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and she almost drew a map on the spot.
God knows how much she missed him after not seeing him for half a month!
If there weren't two old friends nearby, she would have pounced on him by now.
But now she is stuck at the critical juncture of pretending to be cool.
It’s just like playing basketball. At the critical moment, you must not interrupt!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Muxue slowly stood up and said gently: "Tang Song, you are here. I was drinking with my friends and just talked about you."
Hear her words.
Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi, who were originally in a daze, came back to their senses instantly, and the expressions on their faces were so exciting that they almost overflowed.
What the hell? !
This is Xiaoxue's legendary boyfriend? !
Look at the handsome man at the entrance, and then look at Xiaoxue in front of you.
Both of their eyes were red.
Naturally, they had secretly discussed Xiaoxue's "boyfriend" in private before, and because Xiaoxue never posted anything on WeChat Moments, there would naturally be some bad speculations.
Now that I see the real person, I feel like the sky has fallen.
Xiaoxue! You eat too well! You deserve to die!
"Xiaoxue." Tang Song smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to the other two.
"Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi, they are both my friends." Lin Muxue introduced: "This is Tang Song, my...boyfriend."
After saying that, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Tang Song's expression.
Seeing that he still had a faint smile on his face and didn't show any displeasure at all, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good evening, ladies." Tang Song raised his hand and greeted them, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
He naturally recognized that these two girls were the friends who had dined with Lin Muxue at Shengwei Pavilion Restaurant before.
At that time, he was sitting behind three people. He had just got his first car in his life, started his growth plan, and was full of expectations for the future.
Enjoy the beautiful women while eating high-end food.
The mood and scene at that time are still fresh in my memory.
Now the four of them appear in the same occasion again, their identities have been reversed and their relationships are completely different.
It made him feel a little bit touched.
"Hello." "Good evening, Mr. Tang!"
Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi stood up almost reflexively, with an unconscious tension in their voices.
The crystal glasses swayed slightly in their hands, reflecting tiny spots of light.
Tang Song nodded, put his arm around Lin Muxue's waist and sat down, and gave her the "date set" he brought from the company.
This made Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi envious and jealous again.
The four of them chatted for a while.
Tang Song took the crystal glass handed to him by Xiaoxue, and his fingertips accidentally brushed against her thigh, causing her breathing to stop and she quickly closed her hands together.
About ten minutes passed.
At Lin Muxue's eye signal, Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao reluctantly stood up and said goodbye.
"Bang——"
The sound of the door closing was particularly clear in the quiet apartment.
Lin Muxue held her breath, bit her lower lip lightly and looked at Tang Song.
"Tang and Song..."
Before she finished her words, her back hit the solid wooden cabinet in the entrance hall.
The cold cabinet surface brought a chill through the thin fabric, while the body temperature of the man in front of him was incredibly hot.
Then, her body was pressed against the entrance cabinet.
The air seemed to be ignited and the temperature continued to rise.
"Um..." Lin Muxue's voice trembled a little, "I drank a lot of drinks tonight, and just drank champagne, so I have to go to the bathroom."
"No need." Tang Song looked at her mischievously, stroking her waistline with his fingers, "This is better, isn't it?"
Then, Tang Song leaned close to her ear and whispered softly.
Lin Muxue's cheeks instantly turned red, and her long eyelashes trembled constantly.
As the night deepens, outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights of Yancheng are transformed into a blurry sea of light.
After a long time, Lin Muxue called the beautician who was far away in Shandong Province.
Start communicating feelings through the phone.
……
It was a night in the imperial capital, with continuous drizzle and the moist air carrying a hint of coolness.
In the VIP channel of the airport, Anne Kate walked out slowly with elegant and calm steps. Her long golden hair swayed slightly under the light, with a hint of beautiful luster.
Following behind him were several assistants in suits, carrying various briefcases and personal belongings.
A two-tone Bentley was parked quietly at the exit.
"Bang——" The sound of the door closing was heard, and the noise from the outside world was immediately cut off.
The car drove smoothly away from the airport and glided along the wet road.
Anne leaned back in her seat, rubbed her temples gently, and said lazily, "Hugh, I didn't expect you to come pick me up in person."
Zheng Qiudong sat aside and responded with a smile: "Annie, you may not know how long I have been waiting for this day."
"What you said may cause ambiguity, or... do you have feelings for me?" Annie raised her eyebrows, with a cunning light flashing in her blue eyes.
Zheng Qiudong's eyes twitched, and he quickly explained, "You misunderstood. I meant the acquisition of SCG (Stonebridge Consulting). Director Jin originally said that you would arrive yesterday, but it was delayed until tonight. You should be able to guess how worried I am, so I came here specially to pick you up."
"Oh~, OK." Annie shrugged, her expression a little unnatural.
She felt a little guilty when she mentioned this.
I couldn't help but think of the past two days when I was exhausted.
My legs felt weak and my head felt dizzy when I walked. It took me two days to recover.
However, although these memories made her feel a little embarrassed and annoyed, they were mostly filled with endless aftertastes.
She waved her hand, pulling her thoughts back to reality, and said calmly: "I will communicate this matter with the person in charge of related matters in the family. The problems you are worried about will be solved later."
Zheng Qiudong breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the accurate promise, and then changed the subject and began to talk to her about the specific details of the acquisition.
The car drove along the airport highway and entered the East Fourth Ring Road.
When approaching No. 8 Hesheng Xiaoyun Road.
Zheng Qiudong suddenly said, "By the way, Annie, I think there is something I need to tell you in advance. Tang Jin Manor may be put into use soon. I went to Europe last week and ran into Tina unexpectedly."
"Wow!" Annie exclaimed excitedly, with a burning light in her eyes. "This is a big deal! You know, there should be a house of my own in the manor!"
Zheng Qiudong looked a little strange and wanted to say "I don't know".
But because I need the other party's help now, I can only agree with him.
As a shrewd man, he could naturally see that Annie had ill intentions towards President Tang, and might even have conflicts with Director Jin in the future.
Oh! Women are trouble!
...
The car stopped steadily in the underground garage. Shangguan Qiuya, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward and opened the car door for her.
Annie got out of the car gracefully, threw the platinum bag to Shangguan Qiuya, and raised her red lips to Zheng Qiudong in the car: "Bye, Hugh."
Then, he walked into the building in a cat-like manner.
In the quiet high-speed elevator.
Anne faced the mirror and pushed her blonde hair to one side, revealing her graceful neckline.
Shangguan Qiuya lowered her voice and reminded, "By the way, Ms. Kate, there are other people at Director Jin's home right now."
"Oh? Who?" Annie asked with a raised eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Mira never liked other people coming to her house, but the one that Shangguan Qiuya specifically mentioned must be a special person.
"Wen Ruan, she will attend the meeting of Xingyun International Group tomorrow morning. She just arrived here half an hour ago." (Chapter 538)
Shangguan Qiuya answered concisely while observing Annie's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
"It turned out to be her——"
Anne's lips curled up in a playful arc, as if she had caught the scent of some prey, "This is good news."
Shangguan Qiuya couldn't help but remind her when she saw this: "Boss Tang knows about her visit to the capital."
Anne chuckled, her voice lazy and confident, "Don't worry, dear Shangguan, I just want to exchange some experiences with her. I think, if possible, we can sleep in a hotel tonight. You know, Ms. never allows others to sleep in her house, not even me."
Shangguan Qiuya's eyes twitched and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
I don't let you sleep here because I'm protecting you, okay?
If it's warm and soft, it's fine.
It is well known that this Ms. Kate was once very interested in women. In order to avoid misunderstanding from Mr. Tang, Director Jin would not allow her to live here.
"Ding--"
The moment the elevator door opened, Annie stepped out with a cat-like step.
Walk through the corridor, push open the door, and enter this 520-square-meter flat.
"Ms. Kate, the slippers..."
Anne turned a deaf ear to him, raised her red lips slightly, and did not stop.
Her eyes swept across the luxurious and exquisite decorations around her, with a bit of eagerness to try.
Walking around the Suzhou embroidery screen, the light in the living room falls softly, and the fragrance of Earl Grey tea is faintly floating in the air.
In this elegant silence, she saw her.
The "pervert" mentioned by Song.
Annie still remembers that night when Tang Song humiliated her ball skills while mentioning Wen Ruan: "You are not even half as good as her... She could pin me to the ground and rub me... You are a piece of trash!"
In fact, the main reason why she was so impatient for Wenruan was because of this reason.
Hearing the noise, Wenruan tilted her head slightly and then stood up immediately.
The black knitted skirt outlined a breathtaking curve as she stood up, showing the unique sexiness of a mature woman to the fullest.
"Oh my...Well well——" Anne said in a long tone, with undisguised joy in her voice, in Chinese: "Soft, right? This is not the first time we have met. You are more charming than I remember. It is really impressive."
