Chapter 168: Blocking the Sky and Sun

In the private office area.

Zhao Yaqian and Lin Mu were stuck tightly together; despite both being tall and long-legged beauties, they appeared timid at this moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Luo Bin gently clasped his hands and said in a kind tone, "Let's sit down and chat. Ms. Zhao, don't be nervous; we're all our own people."

That was what he said, but even he didn't believe it.

One was Su Yu's manager of many years, the president and shareholder of Tang Zong Entertainment.

The other was a confidante of Jin Dongshi, a member of the family office management team.

For two busy people to waste time running here, he absolutely didn't believe there was no deep underlying intention.

Zhao Yaqian nodded, followed Luo Bin and the others to the reception area, and sat down carefully on the leather sofa.

Her gaze looked toward Little Xue beside her.

This man and two women opposite—each of their auras was several meters high; she didn't know what to say and felt completely uncomfortable.

This was the "pillar of support" she had invited; for today's scene, she still had to rely on Little Xue.

Lin Mu placed her bag on her lap and tried hard to keep her tone steady, "My name is Lin Mu; I am the signing witness invited by Qian Qian."

"Hello, Ms. Lin." Luo Bin's face was calm, and he nodded slightly, "Everyone, please wait a moment; I'll go get the trust documents."

After finishing, he stood up and walked toward the safe nearby.

Zhao Yaqian's hands and feet were sweating from nervousness, her lips pursed tightly; she felt that the gaze of those two women looking at her was somewhat wrong.

Lin Mu secretly scanned the surroundings, her gaze landing on Qin Yingxue's position, and her heart shook violently.

Hermes Birkin 25, square-framed short-snout matte crocodile skin, gold-buckle platinum bag, market price 500,000+.

Chanel summer new haute couture fashion, price around 300,000.

Bvlgari snake head and tail earrings and necklace, 80,000.

Looking again at the Richard Mille RM07-01 snowflake diamond watch on her wrist worth 2 million+.

Lin Mu's mouth opened, and her eyes were somewhat straight.

Every single item on her was a luxury good she liked super much and had looked at many times.

Their gazes met, and Qin Yingxue revealed a playful smile at her.

Lin Mu quickly shifted her gaze, somewhat afraid to look at the other party.

Compared to the other party, her own outfit really wasn't worth looking at.

This so-called investment consultant was simply the image of herself in her dreams!

Facing each other, Lin Mu felt completely uncomfortable.

The sound of "tap, tap, tap" footsteps sounded; Luo Bin paced over and placed the thick document bag in front of Zhao Yaqian.

Immediately after, he sat upright on the sofa, tidied his cuffs, and buttoned a button on his suit jacket.

His tone was serious, "Besides the beneficiary agreement, there are also trust management rules, risk disclosure statements, and other materials here, which detail the management and operation methods of the trust property.

As Chairman Tang's agent and legal advisor, I will also provide you with comprehensive legal aid today. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

Entering work mode, his expression was serious and focused, his eyes confident and calm, and his sitting posture was tall and powerful.

Paired with his finely groomed appearance and exquisite attire, he well-embodied the image of an elite big lawyer.

"Thank you, Lawyer Luo!" Zhao Yaqian thanked him seriously; hearing that he was a lawyer sent by Tang Song to help her, she relaxed a bit.

Qin Yingxue leaned forward slightly, her long, moist fingers pressing on the document bag.

After Zhao Yaqian looked at her, she smiled and said, "I am the investment consultant for SloverTrust and also an internal executive. As one of the beneficiaries of this trust, you enjoy the right to know and the right to express opinions. If there is anything unclear or unsatisfactory, you can communicate directly with me."

She emphasized the words "one of the beneficiaries," and her eyes also carried inexplicable meaning.

However, this operation was obviously throwing a wink at a blind person.

The simple Zhao Yaqian didn't notice it at all; instead, she felt that this sister wasn't bad, unlike her cold appearance.

She quickly replied, "Thank you, Sister Qin."

Qin Yingxue, who was looking straight into her eyes, twitched her mouth, feeling that things were not quite what she had imagined.

Jin Dongshi seemed to be overthinking it!

Looking at the document bag in front of her, Zhao Yaqian's heartbeat grew faster and faster.

She carefully opened the document bag and took out a thick stack of materials.

After flipping through it simply, her face immediately drooped.

There was too much content, and most of it was English material.

Although Zhao Meiren was a proper high school graduate, heaven pity her, she really couldn't understand these English passages!

She could barely read some simple words.

Secretly looking at the three extraordinary people opposite, Zhao Yaqian bit her lip and finally turned her gaze to her side.

She placed the thick English materials in front of her and said in a low voice, "Little Xue, you are a professional; help me look at it together."

Lin Mu said "uh," bit the bullet, flipped through it, and her eyes were somewhat helpless.

She couldn't understand the Chinese version of this stuff, let alone the English!

Coming here this time was just to be curious about what Qian Qian's trust was like, and by the way, to support the scene and show off.

She didn't expect to encounter such a situation; although she had some cleverness, facing these true top-tier elites, she couldn't pretend at all.

Pretending to flip through it, Lin Mu shifted her butt, wore an awkward smile on her face, and said, "These materials can be read later. Why don't we get straight to the point and sign the beneficiary agreement first?"

"Hmm, hmm, signing the agreement first is better." Zhao Yaqian also nodded.

Luo Bin and the three looked at each other, all noticing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

This involved a 100 million USD trust fund, and as the only beneficiary at present, Zhao Yaqian's rights were actually very large.

For example, supervising the management and use of trust property, and under certain conditions, even having the right to adjust the management of trust property.

However, regarding these, she seemed to have no interest at all.

Qin Yingxue pursed her rosy lips and said, "Of course, let me briefly introduce the content of the agreement below."

Hearing this, Zhao Yaqian quickly sat up straight, looking at her nervously and expectantly.

Lin Mu gripped her bag tightly and adjusted her sitting posture again to make herself look calmer.

"First, this 100 million USD family trust was set up by Chairman Tang in conjunction with the Kate Trust Fund, aiming to realize the inheritance and preservation of wealth, ensuring the beneficiary's quality of life..."

Qin Yingxue's eloquence was very good, and her speech was clear and logical.

From the establishment of the trust to the rights and obligations of the beneficiary, she spoke eloquently, also mixed with some words of warning.

However, Zhao Yaqian and Lin Mu opposite couldn't hear anything at all.

Their minds were full of the keyword "100 million USD."

Zhao Yaqian's mouth was wide open; she couldn't imagine how huge a sum of money this was.

Lin Mu twisted her neck stiffly and looked at the beautician in disbelief.

Are you kidding me! A 100 million USD family trust!?

She even somewhat doubted whether she had fallen into a dream today.

Or walked into a film crew shooting a variety show to prank laypeople.

She bit her lip, and a clear pain struck.

Looking around, looking at the three people opposite, everything seemed to be real.

This world really is a huge grass-roots stage.

After the buzzing in her mind gradually disappeared, Zhao Yaqian asked blankly, "May I ask, how much money can I get each time?"

Her mind was still recalling her cousin's words, "annual salary of one million."

The scale of this trust was obviously larger than what her cousin said; she might really be about to ascend to the sky in one step!

Wealth freedom was right in front of her eyes; as a bitter working person, Zhao Meiren had never felt such complex emotions as she did now.

Lin Mu swallowed her saliva and also pricked up her ears.

Although the trust amount was terrifying, Zhao Yaqian might not necessarily get much money.

Qin Yingxue folded her hands on her thighs and said meaningfully, "Ms. Zhao, this trust was not set up specifically for you; you are just one of the beneficiaries, and there will be other beneficiaries in the future.

According to the distribution rights set by Chairman Tang, you can get about 166,700 USD in trust income per period.

Moreover, if you have the following behaviors, such as: involving illegal activities, debt exceeding 50% of annual income...

We will suspend your distribution rights and re-examine you."

Zhao Yaqian listened blankly to her words, her expression somewhat dull.

Qin Yingxue's mouth curled up; her words had finally stimulated her.

Tang Song is such a figure; you shouldn't naively think he will belong to you alone.

Just be a safe canary; don't think about what you shouldn't.

Mo Xiang Wan held her phone in her hand, seemingly chatting with someone.

Luo Bin silently looked away without saying much.

Zhao Yaqian licked her lips, unable to calculate how much RMB this corresponded to.

She tugged at Little Xue's arm and revealed a confused expression.

Lin Mu gripped her bag tightly, let out a long breath, and said in an incomparably complex tone, "According to the current exchange rate, it's about 1.17 million yuan."

She never expected that an ordinary beautician she met at a beauty salon would have such an opportunity.

What is the concept of 1.17 million? It's equivalent to the annual salary of their company's management!

Among the "socialites" she knew who had successfully landed, the best result was probably at this level.

She could stop working and spend her days shopping, traveling, and attending gatherings without worry.

19-year-old Qian Qian had directly skipped ten years of detours!

"Yeah! 1.17 million!"

Hearing the accurate number, Zhao Yaqian exclaimed in a low voice, instantly beaming with joy, her whole body floating.

It was realized! Her dream was realized!

Brother Song really loves me!

It's 170,000 more than the annual salary of one million her cousin said!

She could buy whatever she liked, freedom to eat grilled meat and fried skewers.

The debt at home was no longer a huge problem.

The goods accumulated in the shopping cart could finally be cleared.

By the way, she could also go shopping with Little Xue and let her help her pick out a few beautiful clothes.

The expression on Qin Yingxue's face gradually solidified; she turned to the side and looked at Mo Xiang Wan and Luo Bin.

She was somewhat stunned.

She seems... to be a silly, sweet girl?

SloverTrust had been established for 3 years, and this was the first time a beneficiary had been set up, which was enough to explain Tang Song's attitude toward Zhao Yaqian.

Su Yu had flown directly abroad, saying she wanted to calm down for a while; according to past patterns, it was highly likely another sad love song was about to be born.

Even Jin Dongshi had suffered from insomnia for a whole night because of this and didn't go to the company today.

Looking at Qin Yingxue and Mo Xiang Wan, who had relaxed.

Luo Bin gripped his hands tightly, his gaze calm, his mind turning a hundred times, seemingly understanding Chairman Tang's deep meaning.

Such a Zhao Yaqian, whose background, ability, and cultivation were all unremarkable, posed no threat to anyone and was indeed the best chess piece to balance factional struggles.

Tang Song was ultimately still that Tang Song—cold, rational, meticulous in thinking, and unfathomable.

Noticing the strange gazes of the three people opposite, Zhao Yaqian's face flushed slightly, but she still asked the question she cared about most, "This trust... should exist forever, right?"

Luo Bin said at the right time, "Ms. Zhao, don't worry. As long as you don't violate the provisions of the trust terms, this income will continue and can be inherited as an estate. In addition, it will be appropriately adjusted every 5 years according to the market economy and price levels to ensure your quality of life."

"So good!" Zhao Yaqian's eyes were sparkling, expecting, "Then may I ask, when can I start receiving money?"

Qin Yingxue picked up her teacup and took a sip, her tone relaxed, "Starting from today, money will be remitted to your account on the 23rd of each month. Depending on the exchange rate, the amount will also fluctuate. If you have any questions, you can contact the office at any time."

Hearing this, Lin Mu was stunned, and an unbelievable thought suddenly popped into her mind.

No way? Impossible, right? Are you kidding me!?

Zhao Yaqian asked excitedly, "That is to say, I can get about 100,000 RMB today, right?"

Annual salary of 1.17 million, 12 months, monthly salary close to 100,000!

The balance of her bank card had never exceeded 4 digits; having so much money all of a sudden made her unable to sleep from happiness just thinking about it.

The expression on Qin Yingxue's face couldn't hold up anymore; she put down her teacup hard.

Her tone was strange, "The annual income of the fund corresponding to your agreement is 2 million USD. The distribution cycle set by Chairman Tang is monthly. The 166,700 USD per period I mentioned refers to one month."

With the conjecture confirmed, Lin Mu's mind exploded like a torpedo; she bit her teeth tightly, her manicured nails gripping her beloved bag hard.

14 million yuan per year, 1.17 million yuan per month, 39,000 per day.

39,000 per day!

What is the concept of this?

Her hard work + part-time self-media earned about 16,000 a month, which was approximately equal to 0.4 Qian/day.

The barrier between class and wealth was presented in front of Lin Mu with unprecedented clarity, making her dizzy and unable to control herself.

Why didn't such a good thing fall on me!?

"A month?" Zhao Yaqian opened her mouth wide, her gaze blank, covering her heart hard.

The first thing that came to her mind was being moved! Indescribable being moved by Tang Song!

Immediately after, she felt somewhat guilty.

This is too terrifying! Am I really worth so much money?

…

Qin Yingxue, who had seen through Zhao Yaqian's character, became much kinder and placed the beneficiary agreement and a signature pen in front of her.

"If there are no questions, sign the agreement first; we'll chat about other matters later. With Lawyer Luo, Manager Mo, and this Ms. Lin here, the authenticity and legality of the agreement signing can be confirmed."

"O-okay."

Then, under Luo Bin's guidance, Zhao Yaqian signed several documents in a daze.

After everything was handled properly.

Luo Bin took out another document bag from the safe and placed it in front of her.

He said with a smile, "Inside here are the services and treatment you can enjoy besides the fixed income.

It can be mainly divided into three categories: health, leisure, and personal growth incentives.

SloverTrust has a portion of special funds and supporting resources set up to aim at improving the beneficiary's quality of life, health level, and happiness.

Let's talk about 'health' first, including: high-end private medical services, high-end fitness studios, nutritional consultation and catering services, psychological consultation services..."

Luo Bin's speaking speed wasn't fast, and he spoke particularly meticulously.

Lin Mu listened with a dry mouth, her mind wandering.

To maintain Zhao Yaqian's health, they provided: top-tier global medical insurance, 24-hour private doctors, a full set of medical teams, and top-notch fitness and diet expert guidance...

To let Zhao Yaqian enjoy travel, they provided: customized personalized travel plans, business class, itinerary planning, flight and hotel booking, and pick-up and drop-off services...

Besides this, there were usage rights for private yachts, top-tier golf courses, luxury vacation homes, and other leisure facilities.

To improve Zhao Yaqian's connotation and taste, they provided: qualifications for global art exhibitions, concerts, fashion weeks, and other cultural activities...

To help Zhao Yaqian improve her social circle, they provided: invitations to charity banquets, golf tournaments, high-end gatherings, and even organizing an event according to her wishes.

To help Zhao Yaqian improve herself, they provided: academic improvement, studying abroad, professional training, education funds...

…

Looking at the documents one by one, listening to the terms one by one, Lin Mu's mind was blank.

When she first heard her say something about "a boyfriend supporting me for a lifetime," she was still facing it with the attitude of watching a joke, but now she couldn't laugh at all.

This beautician friend, who didn't seem very outstanding in her eyes, had crossed the boundary she dreamed of in an exaggerated way, becoming a true upper-class group.

The banquets, places, and circles she had squeezed her brain to get into, Zhao Yaqian could enter at will.

The brightness and beauty she had worked hard to package, she could easily realize.

Irrepressible envy and jealousy made her somewhat unable to control her emotions.

It's unfair, but this is reality, just like those rich second-generation kids who were born well.

Zhao Yaqian was moved to tears; she really cried.

What is love? This is probably the most direct and romantic expression!

Brother Song is really the one who loves me most!

"Regarding the rights you can obtain, I just gave a rough description; the detailed content is all in the materials, and you can go back and slowly understand it." Luo Bin picked up his teacup, took a sip, stood up, and said, "I'm going to the bathroom; you guys chat."

Zhao Yaqian nodded quickly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue.

Qin Yingxue suddenly looked at Lin Mu and said, "Ms. Lin, what kind of work do you do?"

Lin Mu raised her pale face, "Working in a financial company."

"Oh? Which company?"

Lin Mu bit her lip and said in a small voice, "Rongxin Venture Capital."

Qin Yingxue said lightly, "Oh, I've had a few contacts with Li Xinguo, and I've also cooperated with Rongxin Venture Capital."

Hearing this name, Lin Mu's eyes trembled.

This woman actually knew their company chairman!

Today's scene and the people who appeared had far exceeded her cognition.

Qin Yingxue smiled and said, "The agreement has been signed. Ms. Lin can go out and visit the office environment of Juqing Juqing Hui Jin, and I'll chat with Ms. Zhao alone."

"Okay, I'll go to the bathroom while I'm at it." Lin Mu licked her lips, stood up slowly, and walked out.

Facing such big shots of this level, she had no ability or courage to resist.

After the heavy door closed again, Qin Yingxue looked at Zhao Yaqian.

Her face was full of being moved and excitement, seemingly fantasizing about the beautiful life ahead.

Qin Yingxue tidied her clothes and reminded, "Ms. Zhao, please be sure to carefully review the rules in the trust agreement after you go back. Once you breach the contract, all the above rights will disappear."

Zhao Yaqian nodded quickly, somewhat nervously, "Okay, understood."

Looking at the silly, sweet girl without any city, Qin Yingxue stood up slowly, and the expression on her face gradually became serious.

Raising her volume, she said, "Besides this, what needs to be reminded is, please pay attention to the sense of proportion in your future life.

Chairman Tang's work is very busy, and many times he may not be able to give you enough company, so we have prepared enough cultural and leisure projects for you.

You should actively maintain a sense of boundary with men; of course, women with lesbian tendencies are also included in this list.

You must weigh the pros and cons before doing things; never let hormones dominate your brain.

……

You are the first beneficiary of this trust; please cherish this trust.

Please remember one sentence: what can shelter you from the wind and rain can also block the sky and sun." ===== CHAPTER 169 =====
