Chapter 244: Classmate Reunion, Light and Airy
Yuhua Business Building.
Fanfu Suzi Culture Media Co., Ltd.
"Oh? Tang Song from the Computer Department? No impression."
"As far as I know, your Angel Round plan for Youjie Housekeeping is to raise 5 million, which means he has the ability to come up with 5 million in cash flow, right?"
"OK! OK! I also feel that alumni are more intimate and reliable. I will handle this matter well, rest assured!"
"Bye, let's make an appointment on the weekend. If this matter can be achieved, I will definitely thank you and Qingqing well."
Hanging up the phone, Guo Liyuan's eyes flashed with surprise.
Just now, Shen Yu Yan suddenly pulled her into a small group, and after chatting for a few sentences, she called.
Saying that the Tang Song in the group was the investor she introduced to her!
Last time when the three of them were eating together, hearing the news that Gongying Technology planned to invest in Youjie Housekeeping, she did joke that if there was a suitable one, she should introduce it.
Didn't expect the other party to be for real, and so quickly.
It wasn't easy to complete a round of financing; it required facing huge tests and long negotiations.
For example, the two venture capital firms their company was talking to gave very harsh valuation adjustment agreements.
Time constraints, performance indicators, and profitability all had clear regulations, and the pressure to complete them was very high.
One carelessness would lead to the loss of company control or the need to pay money to repurchase equity.
If this alumnus's investment could be achieved, it would also be a good thing for them.
Returning to her seat, she opened the computer, found a document, and sent it to the group.
Guo Liyuan left a message in the group: "@Tang Song, this is our company's business plan. Thank you very much for the alumnus's trust. Let's add each other as friends. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I guarantee to know everything and say everything."
【Tang Song: "Received, I will reply to you as soon as possible. I am very optimistic about the short drama market. Wish us a smooth cooperation."】
Guo Liyuan first replied in the group, then clicked on the avatar to apply to add Tang Song as a friend.
After fighting with stickers with Xu Qing and Shen Yu Yan in the group for a while.
The friend application was successfully passed.
Guo Liyuan clicked on Tang Song's chat box and privately sent the company's market research report, core team introduction, financial forecast, industry analysis report, etc., to him.
This was financing material they entrusted a professional consulting firm to produce, very comprehensive. If Tang Song sincerely wanted to invest, it could save him a lot of time.
Guo Liyuan thought for a moment and left a message: "Old classmate, I am deeply encouraged to be able to get your approval. This is the material we have announced to all investment institutions. I hope you can consider Fanfu Suzi Culture Media Co., Ltd. seriously. We won't let you down!"
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
【Tang Song: "Received, thank you for your trust, I will make a decision as soon as possible."】
Chatting with Tang Song for a few more sentences.
Guo Liyuan hurriedly sent a message to the major shareholder who was busy outside the company, making an appointment to meet and talk in detail about the financing.
Based on her trust in Shen Yu Yan and Xu Qing, she believed Tang Song truly possessed investment ability.
Facing investors, naturally, one had to have a low profile and show the greatest sincerity.
Although Fanfu Suzi also did mainstream media agency business, now most of the company's resources and funds were bet on short dramas, and the company's current cash flow was already stretched.
For them, every sum of funds was extremely precious. No matter how much Tang Song could invest, she was willing to go all out.
……
29th floor of Chengyuan Building, Unlike Ju Qing Juqing Hui Jin.
"Hi, Luna, your figure is really good, so envious."
"Good afternoon, Luna, I'm Ethan from the Trust Business Department."
"Hello, Luna! I'm Lin Bo from the Risk Control Department, you can call me Ryan."
…
Lin Mu Xue sat in the employee dining area, while enjoying the company's business meal, she occasionally greeted colleagues who came up to say hello.
Although this was only a branch in Yancheng, the internal organizational structure was very complete.
Many employees were from the Hong Kong headquarters, and there were also many foreigners among them.
Company employees all had their own English names, and they rarely addressed each other directly by their positions, all using these to address each other.
The atmosphere was also very harmonious.
As a senior assistant to the highest authority department of the trust, Lin Mu Xue's onboarding naturally attracted the attention of other employees.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, they took the initiative to come forward to make friends and introduce themselves.
Many people sat around her, chatting with her about the company's situation and the surrounding food.
Many of these colleagues were habitually used to speaking English to her at the beginning, but after realizing something was wrong, they actively switched languages.
Several foreigners spoke very awkwardly, and she found it very difficult to listen.
Fortunately, her emotional intelligence was good, and she was also smart, so they got along quite happily.
Lin Mu Xue was very calm on the surface, but she was extremely nervous inside.
She had actually read the resume information of these people this morning.
There were risk controllers who were former Big Four audit managers, economic researchers who were former top PE analysts...
In short, none of them had small backgrounds.
And her, Xiao Xue? A junior college student from Yancheng Vocational and Technical College majoring in "Air Crew," a former print model, and a former financial receptionist.
At this moment, she deeply understood what "a husky mixed into a wolf pack" meant.
Fortunately, there was no specific business intersection between them.
Otherwise, she would definitely be exposed.
After finishing lunch, Lin Mu Xue politely said goodbye and returned to the board office.
This was a super-large suite with a lounge, guest area, and office area inside.
Besides this, there was also a cubicle of more than 10 square meters near the door, which was her office.
It was wrapped in frosted glass, and an exquisite nameplate hung on the door.
【Senior Assistant to the Committee】
Stepping on the soft and comfortable silent carpet, looking at the independent office in front of her, Lin Mu Xue's heart surged.
Gripping the cold doorknob, she gently pushed open the door.
In the bright and soft office, there was a smooth-as-mirror solid wood desk, a comfortable single sofa, a small tea table, and vibrant green plants...
Lin Mu Xue stepped to the seat and sat down, spinning around excitedly.
The company's HR said that in the afternoon, they would collect her body data and customize an ergonomic chair according to her requirements.
The material, appearance, and pattern were all chosen by her.
Touching the blue and white work badge on her neck, Lin Mu Xue lifted it gently and looked at it again.
At the very top was the ID photo she had carefully selected.
Below was her position information.
Employee Name: Luna (Lin Mu Xue)
Position: Senior Assistant to the Committee
Employee Number: 00227
…
Slover(HK)Trust
This was a standard foreign enterprise, and the headquarters was an offshore trust company, so many places in the company used English, such as some work documents and materials.
Lin Mu Xue felt her own inadequacy and awkwardness more and more.
She was also very worried about losing this precious job opportunity because of this.
She majored in "Air Crew," and English was actually a compulsory course.
However, she didn't like studying much, and plus the school was trash, her level was very average, and her spoken English was even worse.
Thinking for a moment, Lin Mu Xue sent a message to the HR Director with some trepidation: "June, this is my first time working in a foreign enterprise. I want to learn English systematically. Can you help me arrange training?"
After a while, a message popped up.
【June: "OK, we have cooperative training institutions. I'll help you contact them later. There is a separate training room inside the company, no need to go to the institution for class."】
Seeing the reply, Lin Mu Xue instantly beamed with joy.
As a senior assistant to the committee, she had many special privileges.
For example, daily taxi fares could be fully reimbursed.
If it was for official business travel, she could also enjoy business class and high-end hotel travel treatment.
She had worked as an administrator at Rongxin Venture Capital for a year and naturally knew what these treatments meant.
Within the company, her treatment level should already be on par with executives.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu Xue's face flushed slightly.
She opened WeChat and left a message for Tang Song: "Chairman Tang, I have successfully joined the job and am currently working in the cubicle of the board office. The company colleagues are very kind, we get along very happily, and I like my current job very much!"
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
【Tang Song: "I've heard from Chairman Zhang, keep it up, Xiao Xue. By the way, I have a batch of media company materials here. Help me transfer them to the Risk Control Group of the company's Investment Strategy Department and let them help me check if there are any problems."】
Seeing Tang Song's message, Lin Mu Xue instantly beamed.
She hurriedly replied: "Received, I'll go arrange it now!"
This was a task arranged by the boss himself, which was the company's highest priority work.
She actually didn't have much ambition and felt that it was already very good like this, and she didn't think about reaching a high status in the company.
The only worry was that her education and ability were relatively poor, and she was worried about being looked down upon by colleagues, so she was a bit nervous.
Now that Tang Song had handed it over to her to communicate and coordinate, she could use this to quickly integrate into the company and gain the respect of her colleagues.
"Ding dong—"
High school classmate WeChat group.
【He Xiaohui: "@Lin Mu Xue, we have arrived in Yancheng, Li Da specifically took leave to pick us up."】
【He Xiaohui: Group photo. jpg】
Lin Mu Xue clicked on the photo to look; it was a group photo of the three of them at the exit.
He Xiaohui in the photo was smiling exceptionally brightly.
【He Xiaohui: "Knowing that your financial work is very busy, let's gather at the restaurant next to your company in the evening. Wenqiong will also come by then. It won't take up much of your time. You won't refuse this time, right?"】
【Chen Siyue: "I'll start a live stream when we meet. Netizens are super interested in you. Xiao Xue is the classmate with the biggest change in our class."】
Others also joined in the fun in the group one after another.
Lin Mu Xue slid up, two hours without looking, hundreds of unread messages.
Chen Siyue's "classmate blind box" this time could be considered to have connected all these old classmates.
It also stimulated everyone's memory of high school.
Lin Mu Xue smiled and replied calmly: "Okay."
……
Yancheng Railway Station.
"Good guy! Xiao Xue finally sent the company's address!" Chen Siyue exclaimed, clicked on the map to look, "It's in Chengyuan Building in Huaxin District."
Li Da searched for "Chengyuan Building" and smiled excitedly: "It's not too far from our company, quite good."
He Xiaohui smiled and said: "When I see Xiao Xue, I want to sit in her Porsche 718."
On Lin Mu Xue's Douyin, the one that appeared most often was a white 718, and she would upload its videos and photos from time to time.
The three of them talked and came to the underground parking lot.
Li Da took out the car key from his pocket and pressed it.
Looking at the black Buick GL8 with flashing lights in front of him, He Xiaohui said in surprise: "Li Da, is this your car?"
Li Da smiled proudly, "The company's reception car, but I'm also a supervisor of some size now, plus I have a good relationship with the leader, so I usually drive it casually. Next time we go to record a video at Empress Mu Xue's house, I'll drive a Mercedes E for you guys."
He was just an inconspicuous little supervisor in the Quality Control Department of the branch, and being able to drive the company's business car out, he had also spent a lot of effort.
However, reuniting with two high school female classmates today, and both were quite beautiful, he couldn't help but want to brag.
"Awesome, Li Da!"
Chen Siyue patted his arm, "When you drive the Mercedes out, I'll film a segment for you seriously and edit it into the classmate blind box video to highlight your young and promising side!"
"Thank you, Siyue." Li Da said excitedly: "Let's go, get in the car, get in the car, let's send you guys to the hotel first."
Soon, the black Buick GL8 drove out of the railway station.
Chen Siyue in the passenger seat blinked and asked: "Li Da, are you pursuing Xiao Xue now?"
"Uh... you could say that." Li Da's expression was a bit unnatural.
Ever since he met Lin Mu Xue at Starbucks last time, he felt like he had lost his soul, and then he launched a crazy pursuit.
However, this beautiful classmate was much colder than in high school and had no response to his pursuit.
She didn't even tell him her home address and work address.
He couldn't even send flowers or gifts.
"Then you might be disappointed." He Xiaohui in the back seat leaned forward, "The night before last, she told Siyue on WeChat that she has a boyfriend now and they even live together."
"Ah!?" Li Da exclaimed, "This... how can that be? I see her Douyin is all about living alone and being single?"
"People said that was to keep a low profile, and her boyfriend doesn't want to appear on camera, nor does he want their residence exposed on the internet. The house she used to film videos before was in the neighborhood next to her boyfriend's."
Chen Siyue smiled: "Xiao Xue also said that this time it was because we old classmates came to Yancheng that she was willing to show her true side. In other words, she was still deliberately keeping a low profile on Douyin."
Hearing this, Li Da's face became very ugly, "Is that so..."
He liked Lin Mu Xue very much in high school, and after meeting this time, he was completely fascinated. He originally still had fantasies, but now it seemed there was no chance.
He Xiaohui curled her lips, "However, I always feel that Xiao Xue is lying. She liked to lie in high school. She's a junior college student, saying she's a financial company executive, anyway I don't believe it. I guess that boyfriend is definitely fake too."
"Indeed, I'm also curious how Xiao Xue entered the financial industry." Chen Siyue nodded along, "Very unbelievable."
Li Da was stunned, his eyes instantly lit up, and hope reignited in his heart.
Sometimes, a girl being too excellent would make people shrink back.
Chen Siyue looked at the busy city scene outside the window and smiled lightly: "Anyway, we're meeting tonight, I'm looking forward to it."
Regarding this episode of Lin Mu Xue's video, there were too many points of interest.
Even if she was exposed for telling lies, it had nothing to do with her as a blogger, and instead, she could continue to hype it up with this topic.
…
After checking into a star-rated hotel in the city center.
The three of them had a simple meal at the Chinese restaurant downstairs.
After resting for a while, they changed clothes and put on makeup.
Chen Siyue officially started filming the classmate blind box video about Li Da.
It was mainly chatting about memories of the past and the current situation, and then went to Li Da's rental house as a guest to film his living state.
Next, just need to film some fragments of his work and life, write some copy, and a video could be completed.
This time coming to Yancheng, besides Lin Mu Xue, Li Da was also a good point of interest.
Becoming a supervisor of a listed medical device branch just one year after graduation, absolutely young and promising.
6 PM.
The three of them finished filming, picked up Mao Wenqiong who got off work, and set off for Chengyuan Building.
In the speeding Buick GL8.
He Xiaohui shook her phone, her expression playful: "I sent Xiao Xue several messages, she hasn't replied at all. Do you think she's feeling guilty and backing out at the last minute?"
Chen Siyue, who was debugging the live-streaming equipment, smiled: "Not to that extent, we've already agreed."
"Hope so."
He Xiaohui muttered and continued to chat in the classmate group, occasionally being sarcastic about Lin Mu Xue.
She was a bit angry in her heart; no matter how many times she tagged the other party in the group, Lin Mu Xue ignored her.
A completely ignoring attitude.
More than 20 minutes later.
The Buick GL8 slowly drove into the ground parking lot of Chengyuan Building and parked in an empty parking space.
Mao Wenqiong checked her phone and looked up: "Xiao Xue just sent me a message saying she's busy now and will get off work at 7 PM."
"Oh~" He Xiaohui curled her lips, "Xiao Xue still remembers the unpleasantness with me in school, she doesn't even want to pay attention to me, she's so petty."
Mao Wenqiong smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
She was a very mediocre person in high school, with an ordinary personality and average looks, and her relationship with everyone was about the same.
The university she attended and the job she found were both very ordinary.
The reason she came to Yancheng to develop was because the boyfriend she dated in university was from here, and of course, he was also a very mediocre person.
For classmates like her, blind box videos had no points of interest, so Chen Siyue didn't have the idea of filming her either.
Coming along was purely to have a meal and chat with classmates she hadn't seen for many years.
She had no malice toward Lin Mu Xue, this old classmate.
Chen Siyue checked the time, "No rush, it's only a matter of 10 minutes, just in time for me to start a live stream to warm up. Wenqiong, tell Xiao Xue, we'll wait for her in the lobby at 7 o'clock."
"Okay."
He Xiaohui took the sports camera and said: "You focus on the live stream later, I'll film the material!"
"OK, thanks for the hard work, Huihui."
Chen Siyue operated for a while, and the live stream started smoothly.
The high school classmates who received the news beforehand immediately poured in.
Soon, some fans who followed her came in one after another, and the number of people online soon exceeded 300.
This data could be considered quite good for her.
After all, her fans were video fans, and those with more than 100 live streams before were a minority.
"Good evening, family members, help like, those who haven't followed, click follow. The anchor is filming the classmate blind box series of videos, super interesting."
"Yeah, this live stream is the first meeting with Lin Mu Xue 6 years after graduation, the poor student in class back then, now a financial expert and rich beauty."
"Knowing everyone is interested, let's start a live stream to warm up first, everyone look forward to the following videos."
Chen Siyue introduced the following live-streaming content enthusiastically, and the comment section was very lively.
【"Graduated from junior college for two years, became a financial company executive, even if you beat me to death, I won't believe it! If this is true, I'll live-stream eating shit!"】
【"I've watched Luna Xue's Douyin, she is really beautiful, but regarding work, she definitely lied."】
【"I don't think it's impossible, what if she's lucky? I've seen some people like this too."】
…
Seeing the barrage of arguments and more and more likes, Chen Siyue beamed.
She began to talk about some of her impressions of Lin Mu Xue in high school.
After all, it was a live stream, and when evaluating her old classmate, she was still very gentle and friendly.
In her description, Lin Mu Xue was beautiful, thrifty, loved beauty, had poor grades, and her dream back then was to be an air crew or model, yearning for a glamorous life.
It was just the kind of real female classmate that everyone had around them.
Under her eloquent narration, the audience's sense of substitution was instantly pulled up.
"I'm also looking forward to seeing Xiao Xue who has broken out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. It's almost 7 o'clock now, let's go, let's go see this old classmate!"
……
"Hard technology venture capital is too difficult, the technical side is becoming more and more complex, and for an analyst like me with a finance + law background, there is too much to learn."
"I heard from Jason that next month Kate Trust will send a batch of first-line VCs, it is said that the company will have major strategic adjustments."
"Hmm, for example, the special fund set up suddenly this time. Luna, you are a committee assistant, you should know about this, right?"
Lin Mu Xue tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled softly: "Hmm, I came here this time for the operation of the special fund, I hope everyone will take care of me in the future."
Several people were talking and walked out of the office door.
The center of the topic was all revolving around this newly appointed senior assistant.
Unlike Ju Qing Juqing Hui Jin was a flexible working system, with two hours of rest at noon, as long as the working time on the day exceeded 7 hours, it was considered normal attendance.
Most of the work intervals for employees in the Investment Strategy Department were 10:00~19:00.
In order to handle the first task arranged by Tang Song as well as possible, Lin Mu Xue stayed with them until 19:00.
Although she didn't understand their work content, she also recorded it with her phone, intending to listen to it a few more times in the evening.
Taking the opportunity of waiting for the elevator, Lin Mu Xue gently opened her Hermès Birkin and took a glance at her phone.
【Li Da: "Empress Mu Xue, off work yet?"】
【Mao Wenqiong: "Xiao Xue, we are in the lobby of Chengyuan Building, you can see us when you come out."】
Besides this, there were many messages tagging her in the high school classmate group.
Lin Mu Xue smiled faintly, just replied "waiting for the elevator" to Mao Wenqiong, and put away her phone.
"Ding—" The elevator door opened slowly.
A group of more than 10 people walked in.
Most of them were employees sent by the trust headquarters to Yancheng, so they didn't buy cars here.
They usually took taxis to and from work, and the company fully reimbursed them, which was very convenient.
Lin Mu Xue raised her head, looking straight ahead.
Having experienced a day of work at Unlike Ju Qing Juqing Hui Jin and contacted these real financial elites, her mentality had changed unknowingly.
Facing the high school classmates she was about to meet, she felt quite calm.
……
In the lobby.
Mao Wenqiong checked her phone and whispered: "Xiao Xue is waiting for the elevator, she'll be down soon."
Chen Siyue looked at the camera with a beaming smile: "Family members, high school classmate Lin Mu Xue is about to appear, a long-lost reunion, 6 years of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, welcome everyone to witness it with me."
Then, she flipped the live-streaming camera to face the direction of the elevator shaft.
The live-streaming room instantly became lively.
Li Da, who had been in the corner, took a few quick steps and stood by the access control, a self-consciously handsome smile on his face, thinking of greeting Lin Mu Xue at the first moment.
A slight "ding" sound rang out, and the elevator door slowly slid to both sides.
Immediately after, dense footsteps sounded, and a group of more than 10 people walked out.
There were men and women, and there were also many foreigners among them.
Dressed appropriately, with outstanding temperament, the men were basically in well-fitting formal wear, while the women were dressed in well-cut office suits.
Their faces wore expressions that were either indifferent or focused, and they were carrying bags in their hands.
They just walked out through the access control like this.
Their steps were steady, calm, and confident, and a strong elite temperament came rushing toward them.
In the middle of the crowd was a woman wearing a high-waisted half-skirt.
Her facial features were three-dimensional, her makeup exquisite, her posture dignified and elegant, exceptionally outstanding.
She was surrounded by colleagues around her, occasionally turning to chat a few sentences, her gaze sharp and confident.
Li Da standing on the side was stunned, not daring to go up to speak at all.
The Lin Mu Xue who appeared before him at this moment gave him the feeling of being high and unreachable.
Chen Siyue, who was talking eloquently, stopped her touching rhetoric and looked blankly at Lin Mu Xue in the crowd.
He Xiaohui widened her eyes, her brain exploding like a torpedo.
From her body, one could vaguely see the shadow of high school, but earth-shaking changes had already taken place.
The current Lin Mu Xue made her clearly feel that they were not people of the same world at all.
Lin Mu Xue paused, pointed in Chen Siyue's direction, and smiled to say goodbye to her colleagues.
"Bye, see you tomorrow." "Bye, Luna." "Bye~"
Amidst the enthusiastic farewells, Lin Mu Xue approached in high heels.
Dressed in high-end fashion with excellent texture, she was carrying an eye-catching Hermès Birkin.
Wearing high heels, she was nearly 180 cm tall, looking tall, sexy, and full of aura.
Instantly, the three old classmates opposite and the audience in the live-streaming room were stunned.
"Wenqiong, Siyue, He Xiaohui, long time no see." Lin Mu Xue scanned them calmly, light and airy.
My Emperor Empress Mu Xue has just achieved the Dao, now I'm not afraid of anyone except Tang Song!
The classmate blind box that has forced me for more than a month! It's time to give you some shock!
The originally silent live-streaming room instantly boiled over.
【"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"】
【"Where is that netizen who said he would eat shit? Come out quickly, looking at this posture, you know she definitely didn't lie!"】
【"Is this Lin Mu Xue? The change from high school is too big, right!?"】
【"So beautiful! The figure is also too good! The temperament is also super good! I'm going to be a fan!"】
…
Chen Siyue woke up from her sluggishness, opened her mouth, and said in a dry voice: "Xiao Xue, long time no see."
He Xiaohui gritted her teeth, unable to say a word, her gaze dodging.
Seeing her nemesis who used to bully her in such a state, Lin Mu Xue only felt refreshed.
"Xiao Xue, do you work in a foreign enterprise now?" Mao Wenqiong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pointed to the Unlike Ju Qing Juqing Hui Jin employees who were leaving one after another.
When those people passed by just now, she saw that many of them were carrying briefcases and work badges, and their conversations were all in English.
Lin Mu Xue nodded to her with a smile, "Hmm, SloverTrust, a trust fund company located in Hong Kong."
"Really amazing." Mao Wenqiong looked at this old classmate who was outstanding to the extreme, full of amazement and envy.
Chen Siyue let out a long breath and hurriedly forced herself to correct her mentality.
A familiar yet strange high school classmate, chatting and laughing with a group of financial elites, the scene just now was indeed very shocking.
She checked the situation in the live-streaming room.
The heat was getting higher and higher, and the number of people online had exceeded 800.
She adjusted the position of the camera and said nervously: "Xiao Xue, then what is your current position?"
Lin Mu Xue raised the corners of her mouth and displayed the exquisite blue and white work badge in her hand.
"Senior Secretary to the Trust Committee, helping the committee manage the Yancheng branch and special funds."
Then, she looked at He Xiaohui who was shrinking, looking down at her heavily made-up face.
She smiled lightly: "Xiaohui, haven't you been clamoring to see me? Why didn't you say a word when we met?"
"Long time no see, Xiao Xue." He Xiaohui's face flushed red, and she subconsciously avoided her gaze. ===== CHAPTER 245 =====
