Chapter 483: Today's Headlines: A Romance Between Su Yu and Jin Dongshi?

In the quiet tea room, a faint fragrance of tea permeated the air. Lin Mu gripped her teacup unconsciously, her mind in chaos; all her thoughts had been shattered by Jin Mi Shu's words.

"Tang Song's girlfriend is Jin Meixiao."

This sentence echoed in her ears like rolling thunder, repeating over and over.

As Tang Song's assistant, having personally experienced a series of emotional shifts, her admiration and awe for him were beyond imagination.

In her eyes, Tang Song was the most charming male god in the world, and she was hopelessly in love with him.

Yet, no matter how bold or confident she was, she had never imagined that Jin Meixiao could possibly be Tang Song's girlfriend.

It was completely irrational!

One could argue that Su Yu's status as an entertainment star gave her a certain tolerance, allowing her to accept Tang Song's philandering.

But what about Jin Meixiao?

Given her status and position, how could she possibly allow her man to have other women?

Could it be that she came here today to "break up the lovebirds"?

To make her leave Tang Song?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Mu's eyes widened suddenly, and her body couldn't stop trembling slightly.

Never before had she felt such fear and panic.

Because in her view, Jin Meixiao truly had that kind of power.

Zhao Yaqian's gaze shifted back and forth between Jin Mi Shu's couple outfit and the roses on the tea table, a complex emotion surging in her heart.

When she first got together with Tang Song, she hadn't thought too much about it; she just had a crush on him.

At the time, she had only been out of high school for a year, busy with life, her mind simple, and her understanding of society very shallow.

Many of her classmates and friends were dating, breaking up and getting back together.

She wasn't sure how long she could stay with Tang Song either.

So, when she first heard "Bai Fumei" and "Partner Gao Mengting" from her cousin, she didn't have much of a reaction and didn't think too much about it.

However, her subsequent time with Tang Song, the trust from Ju Qing Juqing Hui Jin, the house in Yanjing Huating, and the influence of Yisha Beauty,

had made her feelings so intense that even she couldn't control them.

That was why she had taken the initiative to pull Xiao Xue and the three of them together, why she had reached out to Qian Lele, and why she had made changes for him.

At this moment, looking at "Wei Xiao" wearing a couple outfit with Tang Song, holding the roses he had given her, and facing the other woman's nobility and elegance,

it would be impossible to say she felt no bitterness or inferiority.

But her mind was simple, and she didn't overthink it.

Putting down her teacup, Zhao Yaqian looked at Xiao Xue beside her, a flash of confusion in her eyes.

She didn't know why, but she felt Xiao Xue was acting particularly strange today; facing Wei Xiao, she appeared extremely fearful, many times more intense than her own, completely devoid of her usual confidence and generosity.

Just like now, her legs were shaking uncontrollably, her gaze dull; clearly, she was extremely agitated.

Could it be that this Wei Xiao had a massive background?

Jin Meixiao, Jin Meixiao... Zhao Yaqian muttered a few times in her heart; it did sound familiar, but she just couldn't place it.

She reached out and gently patted Xiao Xue's back.

Zhao Yaqian looked up at the calm, beautiful Wei Xiao.

Taking a deep breath, she said with a sincere expression: "Sister Wei Xiao, I know you are Brother Song's official girlfriend, and I have never thought about competing with you. You are an excellent woman; I admire you very much and hope to get along with you, become good friends in the future, and I hope you can accept my existence."

Hearing this, Lin Mu's hand tightened subconsciously, her expression extremely embarrassed.

These were words she had taught the beautician earlier.

If she were facing Su Yu, saying this would be perfectly fine.

Su Yu had once given Zhao Yaqian a bag, was also a beneficiary of Ju Qing Juqing Hui Jin, and had even invited them to attend the Shanghai Film Festival.

Moreover, Mo Xiang Wan had tried to win her over and had been in contact with her all along.

They had a certain emotional foundation.

But the problem was, this was Jin Meixiao!

"Get along," "good friends"—given their status, they really weren't qualified.

Just as Lin Mu was lost in her wild thoughts,

Jin Mi Shu opposite her crossed her legs, the corners of her mouth lifting, her tone carrying a hint of pleasure and gentleness: "I am very happy you think this way. I can see you are a simple and kind girl, and I am very happy to become friends with you."

Hearing this, Lin Mu was stunned; she hadn't expected this legendary Jin Dongshi to be so easy to get along with.

And listening to this, it seemed she really wanted to get on good terms with the beautician.

Then... what about me?

She quietly looked up, just in time to meet a pair of bright and deep eyes, the gaze carrying a hint of profound meaning, as if it had seen through her heart and her essence.

Lin Mu bit her lip, an unprecedented fear and panic surging in her heart.

With Jin Dongshi's ability, she must know about her dark history.

How will she see me? Will she reject me? What should I do?

Zhao Yaqian felt relieved in her heart: "Thank you for the compliment, Sister Wei Xiao. You are also a kind and beautiful girl."

"Hehe." Hearing someone praise her like this for the first time, Jin Mi Shu couldn't help but chuckle, leaning back slightly: "Qian Qian, you've been with Tang Song for a long time; tell me about your experiences. I want to hear them."

"Brother Song..." Zhao Yaqian showed a shy smile on her face and began to narrate in a low voice.

Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the teacup, and scene after scene since they first met appeared in her mind.

Somewhat reserved strangers, a warm and generous customer, a thoughtful and caring programmer friend, a gentle and handsome boyfriend.

There was one thing she could actually be sure of: she was definitely Brother Song's first woman.

Their clumsy yet sincere first kiss, their hazy and green first time, their exploration of each other's bodies...

These things could not be fake.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaqian's smile became increasingly bright, and her mindset gradually shifted.

We possess all of each other's firsts; Zhao Meiren is naturally beautiful, and Brother Song loves me the most.

I will absolutely never leave him.

Jin Mi Shu listened quietly, her gaze constantly shifting, her emotions complex and hard to fathom.

After a while, Zhao Yaqian's voice stopped.

Jin Mi Shu's gaze swept toward Lin Mu's face, her clear voice ringing out: "Assistant Lin."

"Here!" "Here!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Lin Mu and Lin Tiantian looked at each other, their expressions different.

Jin Mi Shu raised her eyebrows and changed her form of address: "Empress Mu Xue."

Lin Mu hurriedly sat up straight: "Jin Dongshi, please speak!"

"Your performance at Ju Qing Juqing Hui Jin and Rongliu Capital is quite good; I often hear people mention you."

Lin Mu showed an unnatural smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Jin Dongshi. I am just trying my best to do my job, and there are still many shortcomings; I will continue to work hard."

She knew clearly in her heart that she, as an assistant, was just putting on a show and doing work reports; she couldn't actually help with any real work, and it was all very hollow.

Jin Mi Shu smiled slightly, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny: "Tang Song appreciates your ability very much and has been giving you more opportunities. For example, the position of General Assistant at Rongliu Capital, the improvement in your academic qualifications, and even the management of future private resources. However, opportunity and responsibility coexist; do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Mu took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm: "I understand. I am very grateful to President Tang and will not let down his trust."

Jin Mi Shu picked up her teacup and took a sip, elegantly adjusting her posture: "Very good, I believe you have this ability."

"However, as his assistant, you need to be more cautious and self-disciplined. Not just at work, but also in your private life. Every decision and word of yours will affect Tang Song."

Her voice was gentle yet firm, as if trying to soothe Lin Mu's emotions while carrying a hint of undeniable majesty.

"I... I will be careful." Lin Mu's heart rate accelerated, and her palms began to sweat.

Her emotional intelligence was high, so she naturally knew the other party wasn't just praising her, but warning her.

However, she knew her own situation: gold-digging, loving to show off, hanging out in socialite circles, lying—her past experiences could be said to be very embarrassing, far from as simple as the beautician.

In fact, this was her personality.

If she hadn't known about Su Yu's existence earlier, her tail would probably have been wagging in the sky by now.

She wouldn't have thought about getting on good terms with Xie Shu Yu, Wen Ruan, and others; instead, she would have been thinking about how to get more of Tang Song's favor along with the beautician.

Jin Mi Shu looked at her evasive eyes and said meaningfully: "I believe you will, after all, you are a smart person,"

"Right? Empress Mu Xue."

Her tone was calm, yet carried an invisible pressure, as if every word was striking Lin Mu's heart.

Lin Mu's lips trembled, she bowed, and said with a pale face: "You are right, thank you for the guidance and affirmation, Jin Dongshi."

Zhao Yaqian sat to the side, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two.

She wanted to say something to help her best friend Xiao Xue, but didn't know how to start.

Just then.

Jin Mi Shu suddenly turned her head, looked at her, and smiled: "Qian Qian, what do you think of this club?"

Zhao Yaqian was stunned, not expecting the topic to suddenly shift to her.

?

She subconsciously looked around, seeing the exquisite decor in the tea room and the quiet scenery outside the window, and answered cautiously: "This club is very... very high-end, the environment is very quiet, the tea is very good, and it has a lot of style."

After all, she was now a shareholder of Yisha Beauty and had followed Xiao Xue to many gatherings, so she naturally knew about this kind of top-tier private club.

Unlike the leisure and entertainment nature of Yisha Beauty, these usually had a certain entry threshold, adopting an invitation and recommendation system, and the members were all entrepreneurs and socialites.

Jin Mi Shu's gaze softened slightly: "This is one of my properties, usually used to entertain some important guests, and is not open to the public."

Zhao Yaqian said some nice things in a low voice, her tone somewhat flattering: "It is indeed very good; it's the best one I've ever been to."

Jin Mi Shu glanced at Lin Mu, who seemed to have sensed something, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly: "Do you like it?"

Zhao Yaqian was stunned, her fingers twisting together unconsciously: "Sister Wei Xiao, you mean—"

She wasn't stupid, and after such a long time of growth, she could naturally hear the subtext.

"You seem very interested in things like beauty salons; since this is our first meeting, take this as a gift for you." Jin Mi Shu picked up her teacup and took an elegant sip: "This club belongs to you from today on; the property rights and usage rights will all be transferred to your name."

Lin Mu beside her was stunned, her eyes widening slightly, a complex emotion surging in her heart.

Jin Dongshi doing this meant she had completely accepted Qian Qian, and even took the initiative to get on good terms with her, giving away such valuable high-quality fixed assets right off the bat.

And she, also Tang Song's little lover, had only been warned by the other party and had not received recognition.

This extremely obvious differential treatment, along with the fear of losing Tang Song, made her heart uncontrollably produce some jealousy and unwillingness.

If the other party wasn't her beloved beautician friend, she would probably have broken down directly.

Zhao Yaqian opened her mouth, stuttering: "Wei... Sister Wei Xiao, this is too valuable, right? How can I accept such a big gift! And, this is your place—"

Jin Mi Shu gently put down her teacup: "This is a little token of my heart, and also to show my recognition of you."

She paused and continued: "Besides, this club can also become a place for your gatherings, socializing, or activities in the future, avoiding some unnecessary trouble. I think you also know that Tang Song doesn't just have you as a lover; consider this a connection between me and you all."

Her tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable firmness and confidence.

Zhao Yaqian bit her lip, blushing: "Thank you, Sister Wei Xiao."

Jin Mi Shu smiled with satisfaction, then turned her gaze to Lin Mu: "Empress Mu Xue, as Qian Qian's good friend, you will also do your best to help her, right?"

Lin Mu's whole body stiffened, and she said with difficulty: "Yes, I will."

Jin Mi Shu looked to the side and said softly: "Tiantian, go handle the business with Empress Mu Xue."

"Okay, Jin Dongshi!" Lin Tiantian stepped forward quickly, her tone clear: "Hello, Ms. Lin Mu, I am Lin Tiantian, the one who spoke to you earlier. Regarding your... regarding your enrollment procedures and course arrangements, I have prepared everything,"

"It's in the conference room on the 4th floor of the club; I will take you there."

Lin Mu was stunned; earlier, because she was too shocked, she hadn't noticed the other party's voice.

So she was Lin Tiantian.

But what she didn't expect was that her in-service MBA at Imperial College was actually being handled personally by Jin Dongshi.

Lin Mu stood up, trying to make her voice sound calmer: "Thank you."

Walking out of the tea room.

"Please follow me." Lin Tiantian gestured with a side-step, leading Lin Mu upstairs with a light and calm pace.

The two walked side by side, a subtle atmosphere permeating the air.

Lin Mu's fingers curled slightly, a trace of sweat seeping from her palms, as she tried to calm her emotions.

Soon, the two walked into a spacious and bright conference room.

Various documents, materials, and an open laptop were already placed on the conference table.

"Sorry to trouble you, Tiantian." Lin Mu managed to squeeze out a smile.

"You're welcome."

Lin Mu held a signature pen, biting her lip tightly; facing this moment she had dreamed of, she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.

Jin Meixiao's appearance, and the other party's warning, made her feel breathless.

Just then.

"Dong dong dong—" A crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out, breaking the brief silence.

Immediately after, a tall and beautiful figure walked in.

Shangguan Qiuya was wearing a well-tailored professional suit, a vivid smile on her face, and she was carrying an exquisite large gift bag.

"Ms. Lin, Tiantian, good afternoon. Sorry, I'm a bit late."

Lin Mu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stood up: "Hello, Ms. Shangguan!"

Earlier at the Yannan International Fashion Exhibition, this Shangguan Qiuya, who had cooperated with her "showing off," had left a deep impression on her.

Seeing her again here, she suddenly felt extra close, as if she had found a certain familiar sense of security.

Shangguan Qiuya smiled, took the initiative to reach out and shake her hand, and asked about her recent situation with concern.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Shangguan Qiuya placed the gift bag on the conference table and said softly: "This is a gift Jin Dongshi asked me to prepare for you,"

"She said this is an encouragement for your future development, and also a little token of her heart."

Lin Mu blinked in surprise, her gaze falling on the exquisite large gift bag, flattered: "This... is this a gift from Jin Dongshi for me?"

"Yes, you might not know, but Jin Dongshi appreciates you very much. She has a very high opinion of you in private and has the intention to cultivate you."

"Thank you for Jin Dongshi's high regard; I will work hard!"

Shangguan Qiuya smiled and gently pushed the gift bag toward Lin Mu: "Come on, see if you like it."

Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and reached out to open the bag.

Revealing the beautiful and exquisite gift box inside.

The iconic Hermès orange, one of her favorite colors.

He Yiyi lifting the lid, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "White House?!!!"

Shangguan Qiuya chuckled: "Yes, this was personally chosen for you by Jin Dongshi. It's the '22 First Snow edition. I had to go to great lengths to get this brand-new Birkin."

Lin Mu's face flushed, and her heart began to beat violently.

Hermès Birkin 20 White House (First Snow).

As a luxury goods graduate student, how could she not know about this top-tier bag in the world?

Hermès' House series of bags includes four models: Day, Night, White House, and Black House.

Among them, the White House model is known as "First Snow" because of its pure white tone and noble design.

Although the original price at the counter was only 318,000, it was extremely rare in the market, and at its peak, its market value exceeded 2 million.

The matching ratio for it had always been a rumor.

It was said that even for VIC members, one needed to match nearly 10 million in purchases to have a chance to compete for this bag.

Now that it had been out of production for over a year, getting such a brand-new First Snow was extremely difficult.

Her previous dream bag had indeed been the "LV Himalaya," but that was because she knew about such bags and didn't even dare to think about them. But now, it was appearing right before her eyes.

And it was a gift from Jin Meixiao to her!

Lin Mu's fingers trembled slightly as she touched the delicate and smooth leather, unable to believe it: "Is it... really for me?"

"Of course, it belongs to you now." Shangguan Qiuya's finger gently tapped the White House: "A forest cabin in a fairy tale, bathed in pure first snow. This bag matches your name very well, don't you think?"

"Bathed in first snow..." Lin Mu touched the "roof" of the White House, looking at the beautiful and dreamy Birkin, her gaze intoxicated.

A strong sense of gratitude and admiration surged in her heart.

Witnessing this scene, Shangguan Qiuya's eyes flickered, the corners of her mouth curving into a faint arc.

The work Lin Mu was currently engaged in was, to a certain extent, a field that Jin Dongshi had once been responsible for.

And according to the current trend, her relationship with President Tang would also become increasingly close.

Whether out of responsibility to Tang Song or personal feelings, Jin Dongshi would not be indifferent to this.

And this was just the beginning.

The differential treatment of Liu Qingning, Wen Ruan, Zhao Yaqian, Lin Mu, and others would also create certain gaps between them in their future interactions.

Jin Dongshi would not allow a second "Su Yu" to challenge her status, even if it was a combination of multiple people, it wouldn't work.

Thinking of Su Yu, Shangguan Qiuya's expression became somewhat complex.

Although she wasn't at Yanjing Huating this morning, she had heard Lin Tiantian mention President Tang's roses and greeting card.

This could also be considered as making up for a regret in Jin Dongshi's life.

As Jin Dongshi's personal assistant, Shangguan Qiuya knew the entanglement between her and Su Yu all too well.

Su Yu had once mocked Jin Dongshi: "He has never said a single word of love to you, yet he wrote me dozens of love songs that went deep into the bone marrow."

Now, having received Tang Song's roses and confession for the first time, no one could understand the significance of this joy better than Jin Dongshi.

That was why Jin Dongshi couldn't wait to launch a major offensive against Su Yu.

And the original plan targeting Zhao Yaqian and Lin Mu had also been temporarily modified.

You have to know, according to Jin Dongshi's original plan,

she would have given the credit black card to Zhao Yaqian in front of Lin Mu, with a limit 10 times that of the one President Tang customized for Lin Mu.

This kind of differential treatment involving huge sums of money would undoubtedly plant a mine for these two best friends.

It would also minimize the excitement and satisfaction Lin Mu felt from obtaining the private customized credit card.

However, after receiving Tang Song's confession, Jin Dongshi ultimately chose a gentler approach.

It's just that I don't know what Su Yu's mood is like now.

Just then.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

Glancing at the caller information, Shangguan Qiuya's eyebrows raised slightly.

She walked to the corner of the conference room and answered the phone: "Hello, what's wrong?"

Hearing the voice from the receiver, her eyes widened, and an expression of inexplicable shock appeared on her face.

Su Yu? What is she trying to do?

Wushan, Shanhai Pass Scenic Area.

"Ah ah ah!" A sharp scream suddenly exploded from the crowd, and surrounding tourists cast strange looks.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yue? What are you screaming about?"

"Something happened!" The girl's face was flushed, and she was incoherently excited: "Su Yu! Su Yu!"

Cheng Qiuqiu, who had been standing silently to the side, froze upon hearing this name, her expression changing abruptly as she shouted: "What happened to Su Yu?"

"Su Yu and Jin Dongshi of Wei Xiao Holdings! Look at the trending search!"

"Holy crap! How is that possible? One is an entertainment superstar, the other is a business goddess; they have nothing to do with each other!"

Discussions rose and fell, rippling out like ripples.

Cheng Qiuqiu hurriedly took out her phone from her bag; the screen was already flooded with message notifications from various apps.

【Su Yu suspected of publicly professing love to Jin Dongshi! Business Queen X Top Superstar】

【Shocking! Su Yu suspected of publicly professing love to Jin Dongshi of Wei Xiao Holdings!】

【Shipping fans, come quickly! Su Yu & Jin Dongshi interaction detail analysis thread is open】

Cheng Qiuqiu's mouth opened wider and wider, her face full of disbelief.

With trembling hands, she clicked on the notification, and the top pinned post on the Weibo app came into view.

That was the Weibo post Su Yu had just published.

【Su Yu: "Someone asked me why I always like to smile. Perhaps it's because I've been influenced by her. Jin Dongshi is a very charming woman, and being with her makes me feel a different kind of attraction."】

The attached images were three photos; although they were a bit blurry, the identities of the protagonists could still be recognized.

One was a photo of their backs in the office, the two standing together, their temperaments complementing each other;

One was a profile photo at a charity gala, Su Yu looking up slightly at Jin Meixiao, her gaze gentle and focused;

The last one was in a hotel suite, the distance between the two so close that one could almost hear each other's breathing.

These photos seemed to hide some kind of unspeakable affection, making people imagine things.

Cheng Qiuqiu took a deep breath, trembling all over with excitement.

As a veteran die-hard fan, she had never imagined that her idol would have such a close relationship with the famous Jin Meixiao. Not just her, I'm afraid the entire internet hadn't expected that these two figures, who seemed to have no intersection, had known each other for a long time and had had so many close contacts.

Following that, Cheng Qiuqiu clicked on the push notification from Douyin.

A video released by a top gossip self-media account popped up, the title exceptionally eye-catching:

【Latest scoop: Su Yu and Jin Meixiao had an intersection long ago? These details are too obvious!】

The video began by showing two comparison images. One was the dreamy bracelet Su Yu wore when she first officially announced her relationship on Weibo, and the other was the earrings Jin Meixiao wore in a group photo.

The design styles of the two were exactly the same, almost "couple items."

Immediately after, the video switched to "Cui Can," a commercial film Su Yu starred in a few years ago. In the film, the heroine she played, whether in character design or makeup, vaguely revealed the shadow of Jin Dongshi.

In addition, the video also listed the intricate clues between Su Yu and Jin Dongshi in business:

The early investor of Tang Zong Entertainment, where Su Yu was, was Wei Xiao Holdings:

The largest shareholder behind many products Su Yu endorsed early on was also an enterprise under Wei Xiao Holdings:

Tang Zong Entertainment, Ju Xing Hui Cui, and enterprises associated with Wei Xiao Holdings numbered more than 50. Not long after the video was released, the bullet comments flooded in, almost covering the screen:

"Love shouldn't be defined by gender," "Who can handle this combination!", "Shipped it, save me!", "Double Beauty CP," "Su Yu really is a lesbian" — After watching the video, Cheng Qiuqiu's brain was buzzing.

This time, the reaction of the entire internet was surprisingly consistent; not only did no one question or condemn it, but everyone was frantically fanning the flames.

Wanting to send this "Double Beauty CP" to the altar.

Cheng Qiuqiu ate the gossip more and more, muttering excitedly: "Could it be... could it be that Su Yu really likes girls? Is she in a relationship with Jin Dongshi?"

In fact, Su Yu's image had always been very clean.

She had never had any scandals, and even refused intimate scenes when filming.

Her social circle was extremely narrow, and she basically didn't spend time alone with male friends, which made many fans suspect long ago that she might be a lesbian.

Now, combined with Su Yu's "active profession of love" Weibo post and her various previous behaviors, the matter became increasingly bizarre,

yet unexpectedly reasonable. ===== CHAPTER 484 =====

But it was also unexpectedly reasonable and logical.
