Chapter 500: The Most Premium Luxury Item

Night falls, and the full moon hangs in the sky.

The chalk-white Jeep Wrangler moves like a flowing shadow, slowly weaving through the city streets before finally pulling into the Yuxiuyuan residential complex.

The engine cuts out.

Xie Shu Yu turns her head to look at the passenger seat. Winnie the Pooh is tilting its head, looking at her. The gold thread embroidery on its red T-shirt glows warmly under the interior lights, as if watching her with a certain temperature.

"Childish—"

After dazing for a moment, Xie Shu Yu gets out of the car, picks up the Winnie the Pooh, and strides toward the elevator, her steps light and elegant.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home."

In the living room, Zhao Su'e, who is watching television, hears her and quickly walks over. "Xiaoyu, why are you home so early? Didn't you spend more time with your boyfriend?"

Xie Shu Yu lazily rolls her eyes at her mother. While changing her shoes, she says, "When I used to come home late, you'd send me a text every half hour like it was a death warrant."

"That's not the same thing! Dating is serious business!" Zhao Su'e jokes with a smile, her gaze suddenly landing on the plush bear in her arms. "What kind of doll did you buy this time? Let me hold it for you."

"No need." Xie Shu Yu subconsciously hugs it tighter and shuffles into the living room in her slippers.

Seeing this, Zhao Su'e understands instantly, an "auntie smile" appearing on her face. "This was a gift from your boyfriend, right?"

Xie Shu Yu pauses and explains casually, "A gift from a mall promotion."

Xie's father, who is soaking his feet, turns around. "Oh, this Winnie the Pooh looks just like the one I gave you when you were little."

"They're the same animated character, of course they look alike." The corners of Xie Shu Yu's mouth lift slightly, though her tone remains flat. "I'm going to my room first."

"—"

The door closes, followed by the sound of it being locked.

Xie Shu Yu walks to the bedside and gently sets the plush bear down, her movements as tender as if she were handling a treasure.

She murmurs to herself, "Home at last."

She reaches out to straighten its crooked ear, her fingertips brushing over the soft, plush surface.

She takes her phone out of her bag and immediately sees a string of missed calls and unread messages.

She takes a deep breath.

Xie Shu Yu doesn't address them immediately. She opens Tang Song's WeChat chat box and types: "I'm home.

Be very careful driving on the road, don't reply to my messages, just let me know when you get home."

After thinking for a moment, she picks up her phone, takes a photo of the Winnie the Pooh on the bed, and sends it to him.

After doing all this, she sits at her computer and begins to reply to her unread work messages and calls one by one.

This period is her busiest time, but also her happiest.

The expansion plan for the Weiguang Cafe branches is progressing steadily. In addition to several core first-tier cities, the areas surrounding Yancheng are also being incorporated into the map.

The site selection for the new store in Quancheng was finalized last year, but it couldn't be launched due to funding issues. Now that the financing is complete, everything is finally on the right track.

After a long while.

Seemingly thinking of something.

Xie Shu Yu hurriedly opens WeChat again and finds the friend request she had ignored.

Liu Shasha, Tang Song's high school classmate.

After clicking to accept, they chat briefly, and the other party quickly sends over a resume file.

With her intelligence and emotional quotient, she naturally understands what Liu Shasha means.

A very ordinary junior college student whose major and work experience are completely unrelated, and who likely lacks any specialized skills.

What Liu Shasha hopes for is a stable and decent job in Quancheng.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Shu Yu calls a friend. With just a few words, she helps Liu Shasha secure an interview for an administrative clerk position at a state-owned enterprise subsidiary under the City Investment Group.

Afterward, she notifies the other party of the result via WeChat.

After accepting a wave of incredibly excited thanks from Liu Shasha.

Xie Shu Yu stands up, pulls the curtains, and removes her clothes to prepare for a shower.

As her stockings fall, she realizes that her reaction today was more intense than she had imagined.

She walks into the bathroom.

The warm water cascades down her snow-white skin, hitting the tiles along her graceful curves.

Amidst the misty vapor, Xie Shu Yu closes her eyes, and scenes of what happened today flash through her mind.

Tang Song's kiss, the caresses in the movie theater, the forceful and invasive kiss during the "Princess Carry Contest," and finally, her own initiative after losing emotional control.

For her, this is the first time she has truly been overwhelmed by emotion.

Tang Song's young, vibrant body and his scorching, burning emotions made her completely let go of her reserve in that moment.

She was completely lost in it.

Perhaps... this is the magic of love?

Her thoughts have yet to settle.

"Ding-ding~~" The WeChat call ringtone sounds.

Xie Shu Yu glances at the phone on the shelf and is slightly startled.

It's a video invitation from Tang Song.

She picks up the phone, just about to hang up.

Xie Shu Yu pauses, bites her lip, and turns her head to look at herself in the mirror.

Her smooth skin glimmers with a matte luster under the lights; her tall, slender figure is like a white poplar tree, with a narrow waist, full breasts, and long legs outlining a perfect silhouette.

Although she is no longer young, her strict body management and dietary control keep her in excellent condition.

At the very least, Tang Song likes her body; she is certain of that. She could tell from the first time they met.

Xie Shu Yu lifts the corners of her mouth in a faint smile and chooses to accept the video call.

The screen lights up quickly, revealing that familiar, handsome face.

It makes her mood suddenly become pleasant and relaxed.

"I'm home..." Before Tang Song can finish his sentence, his eyes widen suddenly as he looks at Xie Shu Yu's wet hair, bare shoulders, and the bathroom background.

"Sister Xie Shu Yu, are you taking a shower?"

"Can't you tell?" Xie Shu Yu raises her eyebrows slightly and deliberately shifts the camera to let him see the showerhead spraying water.

Tang Song takes a deep breath. "I really can't tell. Pull the camera back a bit, or move it down a little."

"Pfft—" Xie Shu Yu can't help but laugh out loud. Water droplets slide down her swan-like neck, pooling into a small puddle in her collarbone.

Tang Song's heart surges. "Sister Xie Shu Yu, you are so beautiful, but the image is too small, I can't see clearly."

"Alright, I won't mess around with you anymore. As long as I know you got home safely, I'm hanging up."

Xie Shu Yu says this while turning around to continue her shower.

Shower gel foam slides down her long, slender neck.

"Wait a second!" Tang Song says earnestly, "We are boyfriend and girlfriend, a video call is nothing.

I don't mind. Wait for me, I'll take a shower with you."

Xie Shu Yu is amused by his words. "In your dreams."

Although she says that, she doesn't hang up the call, instead casually placing the phone on the shelf with the camera pointed at the ceiling.

After a while, Tang Song's voice comes through the phone: "I'm ready, starting my shower."

Xie Shu Yu glances at the screen, her expression changing instantly. Her mouth drops open, and she subconsciously retreats a few steps.

A moment later, she can't help but sneak a look at him on the screen, feeling her throat go dry.

Sculpted muscle lines, hard and clear eight-pack abs, and faint mermaid lines.

This—

She never expected Tang Song's physique to be so exaggerated.

Xie Shu Yu takes a deep breath and turns the showerhead to the maximum, letting the rushing water hit her.

She finally regains her composure, but the flush on her face lingers.

"By the way, I've already put in a word for your classmate Liu Shasha's job. It's an administrative position at the Municipal Transportation Construction Group..."

Xie Shu Yu quickly changes the subject, her tone light and casual.

The two of them chat back and forth while showering.

The sound of the water gradually stops.

"I'm done, I'm getting out." Xie Shu Yu picks up the phone again.

Tang Song's face appears on the screen. "My dear Sister Xie Shu Yu, can't I really see? You've already seen mine."

A playful expression appears on Xie Shu Yu's flushed face. After a moment of silence, she says, "Alright then."

"Really? That's great!" Tang Song instantly perks up, his eyes shining.

Xie Shu Yu smiles, flips the phone camera, and points it at the foggy bathroom mirror.

Because she just finished a hot shower.

The camera only captures the mist-filled frosted glass, but the silhouette looming in the steaming vapor is enough to spark the imagination.

Then, a slender hand reaches out from the mist, sliding across the mirror's surface.

The northern hemisphere jumps out; in the hazy mist, it is pure white as snow and smooth as a mirror.

Tang's Adam's apple bobs violently.

Immediately after, the camera flips again.

Xie Shu Yu suddenly leans close to the camera, her water-beaded eyelashes inches away, her eyes filled with playfulness and tenderness. "Tang, tomorrow is October 1st. I'm going to Jingxian to find you. I'll drive my off-road vehicle, and we'll go on a road trip to the Ginkgo Scenic Area, okay?"

"Okay!" Tang agrees instantly, his tone full of anticipation.

Xie Shu Yu smiles and waves at the camera. "Then see you tomorrow, get some rest early tonight."

"You get some rest early too, don't stay up late working."

Xie Shu Yu nods earnestly. "Okay, I'll listen to you. That's all, bye-bye."

She had originally planned to stay up late tonight to grind through work, but since Tang spoke up, she decides to follow his advice and indulge herself for once.

"Bye-bye. Oh, and Sister Xie Shu Yu, wear black stockings tomorrow."

The smile on Xie Shu Yu's face falters, and she hurriedly hangs up the call.

After drying her body, she wraps her wet hair in a towel and returns to the bedroom to start her skincare routine.

Past ten o'clock at night.

The bedside lamp is turned off, and the room falls into a soft darkness.

Xie Shu Yu lies in bed, her gaze falling on the plush bear opposite her, a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, she reaches out to pull it into her arms, gently rubbing her cheek against its furry head, a sweet smile lifting the corners of her mouth.

Accompanied by the sound of light breathing, she slowly closes her eyes and drifts into dreamland.

October 1, 2023, Sunday, 13~26°C.

7 o'clock in the morning.

Yancheng, Qiyun Resort.

Crisp birdsong drifts in from outside the window, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Lin Mu Xue sits up from the soft bed, casually brushes the long hair draped over her shoulders, neatly ties it into a low ponytail, throws off the quilt, and gets out of bed. She walks straight to the window and pulls open the heavy curtains with both hands.

Morning light instantly floods into the room, illuminating the entire space.

She changes into a Lululemon sports set, turns on her camera, and starts filming her vlog for the day.

Morning exercise, breakfast, makeup, changing clothes... "That's it for today's video, I hope everyone likes it! Bye-bye~"

Lin Mu Xue lets out a long breath, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

Bringing Xu Ning to the resort this time wasn't entirely for a vacation; it was mainly because she had landed a big commercial deal.

She could get a 50,000 yuan promotion fee, and also enjoy a three-day, two-night vacation service for free.

She, Seeing Xiao Xue, has been an influencer for so many years, and this is the first time she's landed such an awesome commercial deal, so naturally, she rushed over here with Xu Ning without stopping.

Qiyun Resort is located in the suburbs of Yancheng and is a high-end resort known for its luxury and tranquility.

It just so happens to be the long holiday period, and the merchant, having taken a liking to her popularity and elite persona, spent a huge sum of money to have her come and shoot short videos.

Since the day before yesterday, she has already posted three videos.

Each one precisely matched the needs of her target audience, showcasing the resort's luxury facilities while incorporating her own personal style.

Turning off the camera, Lin Mu Xue turns to look at Xu Ning and urges, "Pack your things quickly, we're going back to Yancheng!"

Xu Ning whispers, "Seeing Xiao Xue, didn't the boss say we could stay here for a week? Why are you in such a rush? All this food and drink is free!"

"Why so many questions? Hurry up!" Lin Mu Xue snorts, but then a smug arc appears at the corner of her mouth. "My boyfriend prepared a gift for me and said it would be delivered to Yancheng today. Do you think I have the heart to stay here and play with you?"

After saying this, she turns and leaves, swaying her slender waist and round buttocks, her steps particularly coquettish.

Hearing this, a look of deep envy appears in Xu Ning's eyes, and at the same time, an indescribable sense of loss wells up in her heart.

Perhaps this is the importance of choice.

Their starting points were the same.

Unfortunately, she chose that "fake rich kid" and was cheated out of everything.

But Seeing Xiao Xue met her true love, who can cherish her and give her the best life.

Tang's silhouette flashes through her mind.

She can't help but secretly pray for Seeing Xiao Xue, hoping she can stay with him forever.

9 o'clock in the morning.

The two of them get into a Porsche 911 and drive toward the city center.

Lin Mu Xue wears a pair of huge Gucci sunglasses, humming a light melody along with the car's audio system, her mood at its peak.

"Ding-a-ling—" Her phone rings, interrupting the music.

Lin Mu Xue glances at the car's interface and answers the call.

"Hello? Sister Seeing Xiao Xue."

A familiar yet slightly strange voice comes through the receiver, making Lin Mu Xue daze for a moment.

"Hello, Zhenzhen, where are you now? When will you arrive?" Her tone remains calm, but she can't help but lift the corners of her mouth in a smug smile.

"I got on the high-speed train from Chang'an with my classmates at 8 o'clock this morning. I should be able to arrive in Yancheng before noon."

Lin Mu Xue raises her eyebrows, her heart eager to try, but she remains calm and composed. "How about I treat you to a meal at noon? After all, I'm the older sister. Since you've come to my turf, it's only right that I take care of you."

Now that she has achieved success, facing her cousin Lin Yuzhen, she really can't suppress the desire to show off.

"No need, I'm eating at a classmate's house at noon." Lin Yuzhen pauses and continues, "Uncle asked me to bring you a lot of things. How about you come find me this afternoon to pick them up?"

"Okay, then see you this afternoon. Rest a bit when you arrive."

"Mm, bye-bye."

Hanging up the phone, the music starts playing again.

Lin Mu Xue turns her attention back to the window.

Xu Ning, beside her, opens her mouth, wanting to say something, but swallows the words in the end.

Approaching 11 o'clock, the two return to the Lanfeng International High-end Apartment.

They each tidy up in their rooms and go to a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant downstairs for a sumptuous lunch.

Returning to the apartment suite.

Lin Mu Xue looks at Xu Ning and suddenly picks up her phone. "I transferred 5,000 yuan to you. If you want to go out and look around during the October 1st holiday, or buy something, it's up to you."

Hearing this, Xu Ning is stunned. "I... I still have money, and I'll get my salary from Xuetang Culture next month."

"Just take it if I give it to you, I'm not short of this much. We went out to run this commercial deal, and you helped me film a lot of videos, so just consider it your labor fee."

"Thank you, Seeing Xiao Xue, you're the best to me!" Xu Ning looks at the transfer notification on her phone, moved to the point of tears, and steps forward to hug Lin Mu Xue.

"Get off me." Lin Mu Xue pushes her away with disdain, but the excitement on her face cannot be hidden.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, her first salary from Rongliu Investment arrived—74,000 yuan after tax. In addition, there were shopping cards, mooncakes, and other Mid-Autumn Festival benefits.

Having just finished this commercial deal, another 50,000 yuan arrived, bringing her available balance to nearly 170,000, plus the 50,000 Tang Song gave her.

And a big gold bar.

Lin Mu Xue feels that she has extra confidence even when she pees in the bathroom these past two days.

With a little money, what she wants to do most is consume.

She's in no rush to buy anything now. She'll wait until she meets up with her cousin Zhenzhen, take her shopping, and show off her financial power—that's what fits her style!

Immediately, Lin Mu Xue begins to plan what to buy.

She's not short of bags for now; with the three treasures—Chuxue, Birkin, and the Gilded Sahara—there's no need to waste money on others.

It's mainly clothes and accessories.

Autumn is here, it's getting colder, and all kinds of beautiful autumn clothes should be prepared.

She can't afford haute couture, but shouldn't she have a couple of ordinary luxury clothing items?

And watches. The Overseas watch Tang Song gave her is certainly good, but she can't wear the same one all the time. Different styles of clothes should be paired with different styles of watches.

Thinking about this, Lin Mu Xue suddenly feels a bit lacking in confidence.

After all, she, Empress Empress Mu Xue, has just ascended the throne, and her foundation is ultimately lacking!

To think that she is a figure as famous as Jin Meixiao and Su Yu, yet she is still so stingy—if other people heard that, they wouldn't believe it!

*Sigh* Making money is not easy, Seeing Xiao Xue sighs.

"Ding-a-ling—" Her phone rings again.

Lin Mu Xue quickly regains her focus, glances at the caller ID, and her heart skips a beat.

【Liu Liu Jia Yi】

Why would she suddenly be looking for me?

She quickly answers the call. "Hello, Liu Jia Yi?"

"Ah! I'll be down in a second!"

"Uh—okay, okay, then I'll wait for you upstairs, I'll open the door for you in a bit."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Mu Xue stands up and walks into the bathroom to tidy up her slightly messy hair.

Xu Ning follows closely behind, asking curiously, "What's wrong, Seeing Xiao Xue? Is someone coming over?"

"It's a gift from my boyfriend that has arrived. Just stay quiet in a bit, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh, okay." A look of curiosity flashes in Xu Ning's eyes.

It doesn't take long.

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—" The crisp doorbell breaks the tranquility in the apartment.

Lin Mu Xue, waiting at the entrance, quickly pulls open the door.

What comes into view are three tall, black-clad figures.

In addition to the heroic and spirited Liu Liu Jia Yi, there are two burly men in suits, their gazes cold and their aura imposing.

Lin Mu Xue is slightly stunned, then bites her lip, revealing a polite and restrained smile. "Liu Jia Yi, you're here, please come in."

She actually respects this female bodyguard who drives for Tang very much.

Liu Liu Jia Yi has a mysterious background; although she doesn't talk much, her every move exudes a sense of power that cannot be ignored—she is clearly someone with a lot of substance.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Liu Liu Jia Yi can actually be seen as Tang's assistant, only her area of responsibility is different from hers, mainly security and travel.

Liu Liu Jia Yi nods slightly and gives a look to the two people behind her.

The two security guards immediately stand on either side of the hallway, hands at their sides, their movements uniform, as if they were sculptures.

Leather shoes stomp on the wooden floor, making a crisp clacking sound.

Liu Liu Jia Yi walks into the room, her gaze sweeping around like a knife.

Xu Ning, swept by that sharp gaze, is so scared she stands up abruptly, almost knocking over the water cup on the table.

"This is my friend, Xu Ning." Lin Mu Xue hurriedly explains, her tone carrying a hint of reassurance.

Afterward, her gaze lands on a heavy black-gold gift box in Liu Liu Jia Yi's hand, and her heart rate accelerates suddenly.

A gift personally arranged by Tang—that definitely isn't anything cheap.

She has been looking forward to this for a long time.

Liu Liu Jia Yi retracts her gaze, hands over the gift box in her hand, her tone gentle and professional. "Assistant Lin, this is a gift customized for you by Tang Zong, transported by Sheng Tang Security. Please verify and accept it."

"Oh, oh, Liu Jia Yi, come in and sit." Lin Mu Xue suppresses her inner excitement, takes the gift box, and gestures for her to sit in the living room.

Liu Liu Jia Yi hesitates for a moment, seemingly unaccustomed to such occasions, but still nods silently.

After the two sit on the sofa.

Xu Ning takes the initiative to pour them a cup of hot water, then curiously stands behind Lin Mu Xue, her eyes fixed on the black-gold gift box.

Lin Mu Xue takes a deep breath, places the gift box on the coffee table in front of her, and opens it carefully.

The moment the lid is lifted, the first thing she sees is an exquisite envelope.

On the surface, it is printed with gold-stamped text: "Welcome to Your Exclusive Visa Infinite Obsidian

Card."

Lin Mu Xue's gaze goes blank, her fingers frozen in mid-air, motionless.

As a standard luxury goods researcher who has studied English for so long and mixed in so many circles, she naturally understands what this sentence means.

A series of information flashes through her mind.

For example, the famous "Visa Infinite Black Card" is the top-tier credit card in the Visa Infinite series, usually referred to as a "Black Card."

These black cards not only possess an extremely high credit limit but also come with a series of exclusive services: private jet leasing, five-star hotel bookings, VIP channels for top restaurants... More importantly, Visa has clear rules for the naming of high-end cards issued by partner banks, allowing the use of "Visa Infinite" + a custom suffix.

This level of card is usually only available to the world's top billionaires.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu Xue's heart beats faster and faster, and her breathing becomes rapid.

Smart as she is, she had already vaguely guessed it when she saw this sentence.

But she still can't believe her deduction.

The entire apartment living room falls into a dead silence.

Liu Liu Jia Yi sits to the side, her expression indifferent, but her gaze remains fixed on Lin Mu Xue's face, seemingly trying to capture something from her expression.

Xu Ning secretly peeks at the gift. Unfortunately, she doesn't understand English and can only watch Lin Mu Xue's dazed appearance anxiously, scratching her ears and cheeks.

After a long while.

A sigh of breath sounds, and Lin Mu Xue finally gathers the courage, her trembling fingers picking up the envelope.

A steady and luxurious black comes into view.

An exquisite card lies quietly on the velvet pad, its surface shimmering with a low-key, charming luster.

The black card surface glimmers with obsidian texture in the sunlight.

The laser-etched gold lettering "Visa Infinite Obsidian" shines brilliantly.

Cardholder name: "MUXUELIN" (hand-engraved platinum plating)

Below her name, the dark pattern of "TANG" is vaguely visible, like a badge, highlighting the unique ownership of this card.

Lin Mu Xue holds her breath, her fingertips unable to resist gently touching her own name on the card, her gaze dazed.

"Assistant Lin, this card is jointly customized by Kate Bank and Visa, specifically designed for private assistants, and its functions are very comprehensive.

All consumption bills on the black card are ultimately settled by the family office. In other words, you do not need to bear any personal repayment pressure.

However, this does not mean you can spend at will.

What you need to ensure is that every transaction is made in the capacity of Tang Zong's assistant, to better serve Tang Zong.

There are detailed instructions here, and you can also contact customer service at any time to learn more details."

Liu Liu Jia Yi's voice is calm and professional, without a trace of extra emotional fluctuation.

But falling into her ears, it is like a landslide or a tsunami,

Making her entire person fall into a state of madness.

Lin Mu Xue's face flushes, her legs tremble, and she can't control herself; her bladder contracts, and she almost wets herself on the spot.
