Chapter 308: Cherish All Unexpected Encounters

"Empress Mu Xue, sit here."

Zhang Zhang Yurong enthusiastically pulled Lin Empress Mu Xue to sit on the sofa.

Brown single sofa, wooden long table, faint aromatherapy, soft music…

On the coffee table in front, there were layers of exquisite afternoon tea.

High-end and full of sentiment, this was the environment Lin Empress Mu Xue liked most.

But at this time, she couldn't raise any interest in enjoying it at all, her gaze always couldn't help but look to the front side.

"I'll introduce you to everyone, this is a new friend I met some time ago, Lin Empress Mu Xue. Empress Mu Xue is a senior assistant to the committee of a trust company in Hong Kong, currently working in a branch in Yannan."

"Hello everyone." Lin Empress Mu Xue revealed a polite smile on her face.

Then, Zhang Zhang Yurong started to introduce the identities of the other 5 people to Lin Empress Mu Xue one by one.

The business gathering today was all women.

Zhang Zhang Yurong, relying on Yisha Beauty Salon, had quite a few excellent women in her social circle.

They were all a bit older than her, and their backgrounds were not small.

There were vice presidents of companies, co-founders of technology companies, and bank client managers.

"This is Xie Xie Shu Yu, the boss of Weiguang Coffee. Weiguang Coffee has 8 stores in Yannan, most of which are in the CBD, and it has quite a lot of strength."

Hearing Zhang Zhang Yurong's introduction, Lin Empress Mu Xue straightened her body a bit, bravely looking at Xie Xie Shu Yu, "Hello, Xie Zong."

"Hello, Empress Mu Xue." Xie Xie Shu Yu performed generously, with a bright smile on her face.

Her hair was coiled up and tied behind her head, and her slightly raised eyebrows revealed a sense of confidence and perseverance.

Under her high-bridged nose were bright red lips, adding a few points of gorgeous color to her.

The shirt with excellent texture outlined her slender waist and tall breasts.

Her legs were very beautiful, typical supermodel legs.

The lines were smooth, with slight muscle texture on her upper and lower legs, straight and slender without losing a sense of power.

Lin Empress Mu Xue looked at her and subconsciously compared herself.

She still had some confidence in her figure and appearance; she wasn't much worse.

However, when it came to temperament and demeanor, she felt a bit discouraged.

This kind of elegant and resilient temperament was really too charming.

She still remembered the scene when she and Tang Song stood on the stage.

And at the banquet, the two performed very intimately.

Tang Song also cared a lot about this Xie Zong, and the relationship was clearly unusual.

As Tang Song's assistant and fuck-buddy, Lin Empress Mu Xue naturally felt a bit uncomfortable.

…

Zhang Zhang Yurong didn't immediately pull her to talk about financing, but while entertaining her to enjoy afternoon tea, she shared some skincare tips.

The atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant.

Don't know when.

"Rumble—" Thunder sounded from the thick clouds.

Raindrops hit the hotel's glass curtain wall with a pitter-patter.

……

Lanfeng International Hotel 22nd floor, administrative office area, sales department.

"Clap—" A stack of A4 paper was casually thrown onto the desk, scattering.

"Nana, the content, format, and layout of this customer data you organized all have problems. I'll send you a case later, reprint and bind it properly before giving it to me!" Banquet Sales Department Supervisor Zhang Zili's tone was slightly heavy.

Yu Qiuna quickly stood up, bent down to organize the sales report, and said nervously: "Okay boss! Sorry!"

Although she didn't know what was wrong with what she did, she didn't dare to refute this direct leader to his face.

Zhang Zili said "Mm," and then added: "Also, your discount application for that client, Cheng Hua Trading, needs to consider the hotel's cost comprehensively, the OA application has been rejected by me. How about this, you are a new employee after all, let Qiu Wenze continue to follow up on this client."

Yu Qiuna's expression changed, and she immediately said: "Boss, this client was developed by me from scratch, currently only negotiating some catering discounts, and the contract will be signed soon!"

She had been hired for nearly two months, and Cheng Hua Trading was considered the largest order, with a contract amount of over 500,000.

According to the tiered commission, she could get 3%, which was 15,000 yuan.

And this was a long-term cooperative client; as long as this order existed, her becoming a regular employee would also be very smooth.

The department colleagues around looked over one after another.

Zhang Zili's gaze instantly turned cold, and his tone was faint: "Then you two follow up together, Qiu Wenze joined half a year earlier than you, let him lead you."

After speaking, he walked directly towards the office.

The area where the Banquet Sales Department was located instantly rang with "buzzing" discussions.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Yu Qiuna felt a sense of sourness and loss in her heart.

Colleague Wang Linqing beside her poked her arm and signaled with her eyes.

Yu Qiuna quickly restrained her emotions, stood up, and walked out.

In the hallway.

Wang Linqing took a bottle of chewing gum out of her pocket, opened the cap, and poured it, "Don't be sad."

Yu Qiuna sighed, reached out to pick up a piece, and chewed it hard.

"You too, don't say some things to his face, I estimate old Zhang will toss you again later."

"I just feel it's unfair, the clients originally assigned to me were all hard bones, I finally gnawed down a piece, why should it be divided to Qiu Wenze?"

"Just because his aunt's husband is President Zhao!"

Yu Qiuna pursed her lips, her gaze lowered.

Just because he had an aunt's husband who was the procurement department manager, Qiu Wenze was taken care of everywhere in the company.

Drinking water, slacking off, and being absent from work every day, he could still be the department's outstanding employee, his commission was also high, and heard he would be promoted at the end of the year.

Of course, this was just an insignificant problem of Lanfeng International.

As a luxury five-star hotel established for over 8 years.

Although it wasn't particularly dark or corrupt, the internal interests were intricate and interconnected, and there were quite a few parasites.

More serious ones, such as procurement kickbacks, supplier price increases, sales rebates…

Yu Qiuna had also heard colleagues discuss it many times.

These problems, the leaders might all know, but they themselves were insiders and wouldn't easily destroy this "harmonious and stable" ecological environment.

Wang Linqing shook her head: "Accept it, anyway, your current performance is enough, the problem of becoming a regular employee is not big. And, where are there no hidden rules, Lanfeng International is a big enterprise after all, with Yunxi Real Estate behind it, relatively speaking, there are more upward channels and opportunities."

Yu Qiuna sat on the steps of the hallway, nodded helplessly, "I'll apologize to Supervisor Zhang on WeChat later."

Being gregarious, many times, was just a helpless move, just a behavior that the weak had to do in order to be able to integrate into others.

As an ordinary sales staff on probation, Yu Qiuna had no choice, and she was also reluctant to give up this hard-won job.

Now the environment was not good, after resigning from the BMW 4S store, she was successfully hired by Lanfeng International under the internal recommendation of former colleague Wang Linqing, and she cherished it very much.

As a landmark building in Yannan, the popularity and strength of Lanfeng International Hotel were unquestionable.

A luxury five-star hotel integrating guest rooms, catering, meetings, entertainment, and leisure.

Located next to the Line 1 subway station, close to the city's main road, the surrounding commercial supporting facilities were top-notch.

Good working environment, perfect welfare system, broad career development space, rich interpersonal resources…

These were the advantages that she, as a salesperson, couldn't resist.

Since she enjoyed the benefits it brought, she naturally had to bear the corresponding shortcomings.

For example, intricate interpersonal relationships, internal competition.

"Ding dong—" "Ding dong—"

Both of their phones rang.

Yu Qiuna came back to her senses from her deep thought, picked it up and looked at it.

Quickly stood up and exclaimed: "Our new boss is coming this afternoon! President Yu is also coming!"

Then she imagined: "Linqing, do you think our new boss can make the company full of vitality? At least make our work fairer!"

Wang Linqing shrugged, curled her lips and smiled: "Don't daydream, such a big boss is high above, how could he care about whether we small fry live well or not? Even if a few big leaders are changed, our situation won't have any changes."

"Alright." Yu Qiuna let out a breath and followed Wang Linqing back to the workstation.

At this time, the atmosphere in the office area became completely different.

Everyone was full of spirit, their gaze serious.

Even the few relationship-based people who were always lazy tidied up their desks and typed on the computer "tap tap tap."

Yu Qiuna could feel that everyone was actually a bit afraid of this new boss.

Including those "managers" and "directors" who stood high in the clouds, they all became exceptionally cautious.

Heard that even the reimbursement applications in the OA system were reduced by one-third.

Because the one who bought 80% of the shares of Lanfeng International Hotel from Yunxi Real Estate was an individual, not a company.

As the company's major shareholder, actual controller, ultimate beneficiary, and executive director.

The future of all of them would be controlled by this new boss, with their "life and death" entirely in the other's hands.

Calming her mood, Yu Qiuna began to reorganize the client data according to the format sent by Supervisor Zhang.

The content only adjusted the order, mainly changing the font size and layout.

She also knew that Supervisor Zhang was deliberately picking on her; even if she submitted it as it was, the other party would definitely pass it.

A message suddenly popped up in the small WeChat group.

【Sun Sun Tingting: "I'm greeting guests in the lobby, our new boss is here! He's driving a Bentley Continental! The car is so beautiful!"】

【Sun Sun Tingting: "Good heavens, the boss is driving the car himself; he definitely isn't old. The car door opened! I'm going to see what the boss looks like!"】

The group instantly boiled over.

Yu Qiuna also followed up with a few discussion messages.

This mysterious new boss was visiting Lanfeng International Hotel for the first time; the entire equity transaction had been conducted with Yunxi Real Estate.

Only a few top leaders of the company knew the specific information.

So everyone was particularly curious.

However, lobby greeter Sun Sun Tingting didn't reply again, making everyone in the small group anxious.

After a long while, a "buzzing" sound of discussion arose in the office area.

Yu Qiuna keenly noticed that the expressions of many colleagues around her had become very interesting.

【Sun Sun Tingting: "Ahhhhhh!"】

【Sun Sun Tingting: "I can't take it anymore, our new boss is a male god!"】

……

Bean-sized raindrops slammed violently against the ground, splashing water droplets on the stone road outside the hotel.

Lanfeng International Hotel in the rain appeared even more solemn and dignified.

A white Bentley Continental GT drove slowly, the water mist kicked up by the tires splashing in the rain.

The smooth body lines exuded elegance and nobility in the dim light.

Under the canopy at the entrance.

More than a dozen formally dressed men and women gathered together, watching the slowly stopping Bentley.

Everyone wore enthusiastic smiles in unison.

"Click—" The driver's door opened slowly.

Tang Song, wearing a black shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes, stood up and scanned the crowd with a calm gaze.

Confident and upright, with a composed temperament, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Mr. Tang!"

Lawyer Zhao Xingzhi from Quanjing Law Firm was the first to greet him.

Former executive director and Yunxi Real Estate executive Yu Baohua stepped forward quickly.

He introduced himself first, then added enthusiastically: "Chairman Tang's arrival is truly an eye-opener for us. I believe that under your leadership, the hotel will surely usher in a more brilliant future."

After the two exchanged brief pleasantries.

Hotel General Manager Qiao Anji stepped forward quickly, "Hello, Chairman Tang. I am the hotel manager, Qiao Anji. On behalf of all the hotel staff, I warmly welcome your arrival."

The executives behind him immediately bowed slightly, nodding and smiling enthusiastically.

They couldn't help but scan this new boss.

Although they already knew he was a 25-year-old young man, they didn't expect him to be so outstanding.

However, they were all seasoned elites in the hotel industry with first-class emotional control, so naturally, they wouldn't show any abnormality.

They only revealed just the right amount of nervousness and shock in their eyes.

Tang Song wore a faint smile on his face, chatted briefly with everyone, and was ushered into the magnificent hotel lobby.

The interior decoration was gorgeous, grand, and sophisticated.

Along the way, nearby greeters, waiters, and receptionists cast respectful and shocked glances, bowing proactively.

Tang Song nodded at them lightly and walked through the bright lobby with elegant and composed steps.

Guests who happened to be passing by, sitting in the lounge area, or checking in saw this scene, and their eyes instantly revealed amazement and surprise.

Upon learning that he was the hotel boss, their expressions changed instantly.

Several young women felt their hearts racing, feeling as if a TV drama plot had come to life.

…

The elevator stopped at the 22nd floor, and the group walked through the corridor into the hotel's executive office area.

The decoration style was simple and grand.

Off-white walls paired with dark wooden baseboards gave a feeling of steadiness without losing elegance.

The floor was covered with high-quality carpet, and footsteps fell on it silently.

The office area was spacious, bright, and orderly.

Various green plants, equipment, and office furniture were interspersed between desks and chairs, looking very comfortable and warm.

It was very much in line with the style of a luxury five-star hotel.

As footsteps sounded, staff members turned to "pay attention" to this side.

The group following Tang Song covered all the current senior management of the hotel.

In the past, they had only gathered like this during the annual meeting.

Yu Qiuna, sitting by the corridor, also looked over, her eyes trembling, her gaze full of astonishment and shock.

She didn't hold the client data she had just printed firmly, and it fell to the ground with a "clatter."

Yu Qiuna panicked, hurriedly bent down, and picked it up nimbly.

However, it also attracted quite a few glances.

Yu Qiuna's chest heaved, but she couldn't help but take another look.

She didn't expect to meet Tang Song's gaze exactly.

Her lips curled, and she doubted if she was dazed.

Although the facial features were correct, there was still a clear difference in body and temperament.

Especially since he was surrounded by top leaders and wearing a high-end suit, he looked outstanding and radiant.

It was highly likely that he was that male god boss.

"Nana?" A slightly surprised voice came, which sounded very pleasant.

In an instant, the dozen or so people around also stopped and looked at the female employee sitting in the corner.

Their eyes were full of curiosity and scrutiny.

Colleagues in the sales office area were startled, staring dumbfounded at that side.

Yu Qiuna stood up with a "thump," a flush of excitement rising on her face, and said nervously: "Mr. Tang... Chairman Tang! Hello! I didn't expect you to remember me!"

Tang Song looked at the female employee in front of him, a bright smile appearing on his face, "Of course I remember. You're working at Lanfeng International Hotel now? When did you resign from the BMW 4S dealership?"

As he spoke, Tang Song looked her over with some emotion.

In her early twenties, with medium-short hair and pretty features, wearing a ladies' suit skirt, she looked very spirited.

Although only 3 months had passed, it already felt like things had changed.

At that time, when he completed 【My First Car】 and picked up the BMW 330i, it was Yu Qiuna who served him the whole time.

The two had always been WeChat friends.

Just after he picked up the car, she would ask from time to time if there were any problems with the car and if he needed help.

She even sent blessings during the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, because her Moments ads were too frequent, Tang Song had blocked her, so he didn't know when she had resigned.

Seeing Tang Song's warm attitude, Yu Qiuna trembled with excitement, her heart fluttering.

Lowering her head slightly, she tried to remain calm and said: "I resigned in May and have been working at Lanfeng International Hotel for over a month."

Now that new energy vehicles were booming, business at the BMW 4S dealership was particularly bad.

And she was desperate to make money, so she simply resigned; she had originally wanted to apply for a sales position at a domestic new force.

Later, she was referred here by a former colleague, Wang Linqing, which could be considered good luck.

"Then you continue working, let's chat when we have time, bye." Tang Song nodded with a smile and continued walking inside.

As the group left.

The office area was quiet for a while, followed by irrepressible discussion.

"Was that our new boss just now?"

"Looking at the description from Sister Lin at the lobby reception, it's definitely him!"

"Chairman Yu and General Manager Qiao are so respectful, it must be him!"

…

"Nana, do you know our boss?"

"When did you get to know him? Sister Na."

"Yeah, Qiuna, do you know what kind of background our boss has?"

Yu Qiuna stood at her workstation, her gaze sweeping across her department colleagues.

She saw hesitation and shock on their faces.

For a moment, her mood was agitated, and the expression on her face was very interesting.

She wasn't stupid; naturally, she knew what knowing the boss meant.

Even if she couldn't say a few words to Chairman Tang, they would still let their imaginations run wild.

The unfair treatment she had encountered before would immediately dissipate, and she estimated that Supervisor Zhang would even take the initiative to give her business.

It was just that she didn't expect that former client to become so outstanding and even become the new owner of this five-star hotel.

The shock to her was indescribable.

Perhaps, Lanfeng International was really about to usher in a new life.

……

5th floor, Guyi Business Club.

Zhang Zhang Yurong took a sip of the fragrant tea and suddenly said: "Xie Shu Yu, how is the recent financing of Weiguang Coffee going? Any new progress?"

Lin Empress Mu Xue hurriedly pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

Xie Xie Shu Yu was silent for a moment, her firm eyes revealing exhaustion, "It's still in a stalemate, mainly because the other two shareholders are causing trouble.

Because of the risks, Yanjing Tiancheng Capital's investment is temporarily suspended, and the bank is also supervising and checking the company's financial situation.

I came here today because I wanted to talk to President Kong about the company loan."

As she spoke, her gaze turned to the bank executive, Kong Lixin.

Kong Lixin smiled and said softly: "Xie Zong, we can be considered old friends. Don't worry, I will say a word to the risk control department later. As long as there are no major problems with Weiguang Coffee's operations, we will finish here soon and won't interfere with your normal operations."

"Thank you." Xie Xie Shu Yu revealed a grateful expression.

However, she knew very well in her heart that Kong Lixin didn't want to get involved and was just saying perfunctory words.

Lin Empress Mu Xue listened to their conversation quietly, her eyes flickering.

Naturally, she knew about this matter; besides the investment roadshow, former colleague Gu Cheng had also mentioned it several times.

She heard that Yanjing Tiancheng Capital was interested in investing.

What puzzled her most was why a big shot like Tang Song would accompany Xie Xie Shu Yu to the roadshow instead of investing in her company directly.

Could it be that he wanted to play games with this female CEO? To fall in love with her with an ordinary identity?

Thinking of Tang Song's attitude at the banquet.

Lin Empress Mu Xue lowered her gaze; she had a strong premonition in her heart that Tang Song would definitely invest in Weiguang Coffee in the end.

It wouldn't be surprising if she still had to participate in the due diligence.

A trace of melancholy and bitterness couldn't help but arise in her heart.

…

The thunderstorm outside the window gradually subsided.

The afternoon tea came to an end, and everyone left one after another.

Zhang Zhang Yurong took Lin Empress Mu Xue to a leisure tea room on the side.

She took out a few cards from her bag and handed them over, her expression sincere: "Empress Mu Xue, this is a diamond membership card for Yisha Beauty, valid at 6 stores, with a balance of 200,000 yuan inside. You're welcome to come and play when you have time. This is a shopping card for Fenghui Mall; a friend gave me a few before, and I don't use them. Aren't you living in the Lanfeng International Apartment next door? Take them and use them."

Looking at the cards in front of her, Lin Empress Mu Xue's heart jumped, and her legs pressed tightly together.

The diamond membership card for Yisha Beauty required a one-time top-up of 100,000 yuan to apply, and it had many privileges and discounts, which she had once longed for very much.

However, because she was financially strapped before, she had always been just an ordinary member, grabbing discounted packages on the mini-program every day.

Fenghui Mall was located between Lanfeng International Hotel and the apartment, a large mall with a construction area of 5,000 square meters, containing quite a few luxury stores.

Each of these shopping cards was worth 10,000 yuan and could be spent directly like cash.

Pinching her thigh hard, Lin Empress Mu Xue asked in a low voice: "Sister Zhang Yurong, what do you mean by this?"

Having struggled in society for so long, she naturally understood a simple truth: there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Zhang Zhang Yurong smiled and said softly: "To be honest, the beauty industry is developing rapidly now, and Yisha Beauty can't wait too long; we definitely need to add light medical beauty projects.

Institutions don't look down on shops like ours. Currently, I have contacted many individual investors, and there are those who have ideas.

However, I think the most reliable and most satisfactory one is Zhao Zhao Yaqian. I really want to reach a cooperation with her."

Lin Empress Mu Xue's eyes flickered, and she suddenly looked at her and said: "Sister Zhang Yurong, you think Qian Qian is very simple, right?"

The smile on Zhang Zhang Yurong's face paused, then she said naturally: "I admit, this is a big part of the reason, but I have no malice."

With her discernment and experience, she could roughly figure out the other party's character after one or two contacts.

That was why she invited Lin Empress Mu Xue alone, not Zhao Zhao Yaqian.

Lin Empress Mu Xue let out a breath, her gaze sharp: "Qian Qian is not as simple as you think, the people behind her are even less simple, and her investment is not so easy to get."

"I know." Zhang Zhang Yurong nodded, silent for a moment, and said: "If this matter can be done, Empress Mu Xue, your membership card will be upgraded to a shareholder membership. Besides exclusive rights and brand co-construction, you can also enjoy profit dividends from the beauty salon."

Lin Empress Mu Xue was stunned, her little heart beating "thump-thump."

Zhang Zhang Yurong saw Qian Qian's trust in her and hoped to use her to influence Qian Qian's decision to reach an investment as soon as possible.

And she was also very generous; her move was aimed directly at her weak spot.

And she knew that behind Qian Qian stood Juqing Juqing Hui Jin; once she decided to invest, Yisha Beauty would likely take off.

Shareholder member! Annual dividends!

This was a naked temptation!

After a long while, Lin Empress Mu Xue pushed the pile of cards back with difficulty, her voice somewhat dry: "Sorry, Sister Zhang Yurong, I am not that kind of person."

After saying this, her heart finally settled down.

For her, the job at Juqing Juqing Hui Jin was still the most important.

If she really couldn't resist the temptation and betrayed the beautician, how would Tang Song look at her if he found out?

Zhang Zhang Yurong raised her eyebrows in surprise, took back the membership card, but left the shopping cards behind.

"Take these shopping cards and use them; I really don't use them."

She raised her wrist to check the time and smiled: "You can consider what I just said slowly; you can contact me at any time. I have something to deal with, so I'll go first. The SPA in this club is quite good; I've already paid for it, you can stay and play for a while."

After saying that, she stood up and walked out straight away.

Looking at the 4 shopping cards on the table, Lin Empress Mu Xue pursed her lips but still took them.

She walked out of the tea room, burdened with worries.

She found a quiet corner in the lobby and sat down on a comfortable single sofa.

She looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and began to ponder.

Compared to a real female CEO like Xie Xie Shu Yu, she was indeed still far behind.

Sometimes she looked down on herself too; the shopping cards were only worth a few tens of thousands of yuan, but she just couldn't bear to part with them.

Knowing there was a free SPA, she also thought that not taking advantage of it would make her a fool.

No wonder Tang Song would look down on her.

As she thought, her head lowered more and more, and her nose felt a bit sour.

Just then, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the business club.

Accompanied by an introduction.

"Chairman Tang, this is the Guyi Business Club, located in the core area of the hotel, possessing multiple meeting rooms, tea rooms, and leisure areas of different specifications..., equipped with the most advanced audio, projection, video conferencing, and other equipment... Besides that, catering service is also a major highlight of ours..."

Lin Empress Mu Xue turned her head and saw 6 or 7 people walking toward her.

Quite a few service staff were following behind.

Her eyes blinked, and she stared blankly at Tang Song, who had suddenly popped out.

Their eyes met, her heart beat violently, and she hurriedly stuffed the shopping cards in her hand into her bag, gripping her hands tightly.
