Chapter 504: Sorry Xiao Jing and Seeing Xiao Xue

As Lin Mu Xue's voice falls.

Ren Jianhong turns around immediately and begins to arrange for the staff to work in an orderly manner.

"Zhenzhen, Xiaotong." Lin Mu Xue looks up at the few people still dazed in the booth. "Let's go, let's change to a different spot."

Lin Yuzhen's body trembles, her face flushed, her voice trembling: "Oh! Oh! Okay, Sister!"

Excitement and nervousness intertwine; she tries hard to remain calm, fearing she might not perform appropriately and lose face for her sister.

Li Xiaotong shrinks her neck, lowers her head to pick up her bag, her eyes filled more with awe.

Immediately after, the two follow carefully behind Lin Mu Xue, walking slowly toward the inside.

A waitress approaches and asks in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, should we take your Ace of Spades over?"

Zhou Hao looks at the two bottles of Ace of Spades he just ordered, then looks at Lin Mu Xue, who is surrounded by stars, and swallows hard. "Okay."

Then, he tugs on Lu Yun's arm and follows quickly, trying to regain some presence.

The new booth is located in the core area of the entire bar, with an open view and excellent privacy.

A layer of soft velvet cloth is spread on the tabletop, and various exquisite decorations and fresh flowers are displayed in the center, clearly added as embellishments.

Ren Jianhong stands beside Lin Mu Xue and says in a low voice: "Ms. Lin, do you have any special preferences for the music? If you feel it's not appropriate, we can adjust it at any time."

"Thank you for the arrangement, Manager Ren, but don't go to too much trouble. I'm just here to sit with friends today, as long as everyone has fun."

"Okay, understood." Ren Jianhong nods and points to a bartender not far away. "This is our most senior bartender, specifically here to mix drinks for your taste."

The bartender bows.

Lin Mu Xue nods slightly, a satisfied smile lifting the corners of her mouth: "Thank you, Manager Ren, for your trouble."

"You are too polite!" Ren Jianhong's smile becomes even brighter. "Then I won't disturb Ms. Lin and her friends' gathering. If you have any needs, please notify us at any time."

As a bar manager, his way of handling things is naturally smooth enough.

Since the hotel changed bosses, everyone has kept Tang Dong's preferences and the people around him firmly in mind.

For example, this boss's assistant, whose style is quite high-profile.

Previously, in the club, spa, restaurant, and other places of the recreation department, she had shown great satisfaction with this kind of showing off. In fact, such a young and beautiful female assistant—as long as they aren't stupid, they can all guess that her relationship with Tang Dong is not as simple as it looks on the surface.

So, upon hearing from the front desk greeter that this Assistant Lin had arrived, he had arranged such a big scene without stopping, striving to leave a good impression on the other party.

"Sister," Lin Yuzhen takes a deep breath and sits beside Lin Mu Xue, asking excitedly: "I just heard that Manager Ren called you a leader, could it be that you are working at this five-star hotel now?"

As she speaks, she points vaguely upward.

Lin Yuzhen, who has had some alcohol, is much bolder, and she is also much closer and more natural with this cousin.

In fact, just now in the bar, the powerful aura her cousin displayed was far more shocking than in the luxury store.

The core of the bar, surrounded by the general manager, waiters, security, and sales—she is simply like the domineering heroine in the female-oriented novels she has read, both beautiful and heroic, magnificent.

As her question is asked, Li Xiaotong immediately pricks up her ears and moves her body closer.

Zhou Hao and Lu Yun also look over curiously.

"Hehe." Lin Mu Xue picks up a glass of cocktail, takes a light sip, crosses her left leg over her right, her tone indifferent yet carrying a hint of majesty: "That's not wrong. In fact, the Lanfeng International Five-Star Hotel is just a small piece of the business I am responsible for. I rarely come here on weekdays. But since you and your classmates came to my turf to play, I naturally have to come out and entertain you."

Her words are calm and indifferent, paired with her elegant posture and cold temperament, fully displaying the invincible Empress style.

It makes the few people in the booth feel a great shock.

Lu Yun's hand holding the wine glass exerts force suddenly, his expression very dramatic.

Unlike Zhou Hao and the others who are still wet behind the ears, he, who has entered the family business, knows the gold content of this sentence better.

This is Lanfeng International!

Yancheng's most high-end luxury five-star foreign-related hotel!

The staff is numerous, the suppliers involved in various industries, and the network of relationships, human resources, and social resources possessed are terrifying.

In the mouth of this President Lin, it is just "a small piece of the business I am responsible for"—what kind of status should she have?

Tonight was originally just to accompany Zhou Hao out for a drink, who would have thought they would run into a true god.

Thinking of this, as he looks at Lin Mu Xue again, he only feels a powerful, irresistible sense of oppression coming toward him.

Zhou Hao's head is buzzing, feeling a heat on his face.

At this moment, he suddenly feels that his way of ordering Ace of Spades is extremely childish.

After all, he is just a college student in his early 20s, plus his background and appearance are excellent, and he hasn't suffered any setbacks since he was a child.

He is somewhat blindly confident and takes things for granted.

As the booth is set up, the hotel security guards gather around the booth one after another, and the angle of the surveillance is also adjusted appropriately to ensure that Lin Mu Xue's frontal image will not be captured.

In the bar, curious, awe-filled, envious, and fiery gazes are cast toward this side.

"Who is that woman?"

"Don't know, but looking at this scene, her status definitely isn't ordinary."

Everyone likes beauties, let alone one with such temperament, making people full of desire to conquer.

Qin Hua, who is drinking with colleagues, also notices the abnormality, looks toward the gathering area of everyone's gaze, and her sight quickly locks onto a high-profile figure, a hint of surprise appearing on her face.

"What's wrong?" Tian Jing puts down her wine glass and nudges her arm.

Qin Hua quickly returns to normal and smiles: "Nothing, saw an acquaintance."

As she speaks, she stretches out her finger and points to Lin Mu Xue on that side.

She and Lin Mu Xue can only be considered acquaintances; they had a brief intersection when attending a tasting event at a Van Cleef & Arpels concept store before.

Because the other party's appearance was indeed outstanding, she could remember it deeply.

Otherwise, given her busyness and the frequency of people she meets, she might have forgotten long ago.

"Oh?" Tian Jing sweeps a glance. "A bit unfamiliar, haven't seen her in the circle."

"Not from our path, she seems to be a financial industry executive, I forgot the specific company." Qin Hua clinks glasses with Tian Jing, takes a light sip, and adds: "Maybe she's an important client of Lanfeng International Hotel."

This kind of situation actually happens occasionally.

Lanfeng International Hotel's main business is rooms and banquets; if they are strategic-level partner companies, they can also enjoy sufficient courtesy in related ancillary services.

Tian Jing nods, no longer caring about these things, and turns her attention back to her phone.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Qingqing: "(#Shaking head) I'm not going to the bar, I don't like that environment. Alright Sorry Xiao Jing, I'm not chatting with you anymore, I'm going to get ready for bed."】

Tian Jing smiles, typing quickly: "Going to bed so early? We used to chat until 2 AM in the group, it's been a long time since I heard the little stories about our boyfriend from Qingqing. I want to hear them. Are you afraid it's too far? How about I arrange a driver to pick you up now, and we sleep together in the hotel tonight, how about it?"

【Qingqing: "No! I've already changed into my pajamas, goodnight!"】

Tian Jing blinks, replying playfully: "I don't believe it, unless you take a photo and send it to me immediately, let me see if you've changed into your pajamas."

After about a minute.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Qingqing: Bedroom pajama photo. jpg】

Clicking on the photo to look, Tian Jing quickly discovers the clues.

For example, her messy hair, the expression she's pretending to be indifferent, the somewhat awkward cartoon pajamas, and the underwear she didn't have time to take off inside.

She immediately judges that Xu Qing definitely changed clothes at an extremely crazy speed.

Seemingly imagining the other party's panic, she can't help but laugh out loud.

The more they interact, the more she feels that Qingqing is an exceptionally interesting person.

Teasing her is especially fun, even more interesting than games and small pets.

Tian Jing's eyes turn, and she types excitedly: "What a pity, I really want to sleep with Qingqing. By the way, our boyfriend actually especially likes remote casting, which is you sending him a video, letting him direct you to do some shy things. Qingqing, do you want to play this kind of game with me, increase some proficiency, and better accompany Tang Song to play? I'll direct you."

【Qingqing: "(#Angry) No! Sorry Xiao Jing, how can you be so perverted! I don't want to play this kind of game with you!"】

Tian Jing sends a wronged emoji, pretending to admit her mistake: "Sorry Qingqing, I was wrong, sorry!"

Then she adds mischievously: "(#Excited) How about this, you direct me, I'm in the nightclub, Qingqing, whatever you say, I'll do it quietly, just thinking about it is so exciting!"

【Qingqing: "You big pervert! I'm turning off my phone, bye-bye!"】

"Pfft—0(n_n)0 Haha~"

Tian Jing can't help but hold her stomach and laugh.

Qin Hua, on the side, twitches her eyes, saying in a low voice helplessly: "Can you not be so inexplicable, and today I finally set up a gathering, which is to help you introduce some people, but you're good,

you don't even communicate with them."

Tian Jing rubs her sore face and looks at her best friend: "Are you sure it's not to help you win over people?"

"Uh..." Qin Hua says awkwardly: "Mutual help, I am your closest best friend."

She has been working as an administrative supervisor in the president's office for nearly a year, and it's time to move.

Recently, due to the public opinion crisis, the food and beverage business department of Zhongcheng Group has undergone many big changes, and she, who is ambitious, naturally wants to get a share of the pie and establish her own network of relationships.

So taking advantage of the holiday, she gathered some middle-level management from key departments together.

And pulled her good best friend to sit in, the purpose is to prepare for her next transfer.

And as the daughter of executive director Tian Chengye, Tian Jing's appeal and status are undoubtedly more convincing than hers.

Tian Jing shrugs and smiles: "Hehe, that's not necessarily true, I have a new best friend now, and she's even closer than you."

"Oh?" Qin Hua is startled. "What's the situation?"

"Not telling you, this is my secret." Tian Jing picks up her wine glass and takes a big gulp of refreshing cocktail, a fox-like smile appearing on her face.

"Fine, I understand you less and less."

Qin Hua mutters, stands up, and greets her colleagues to drink.

The DJ on stage switches the music style, the lights flow, and the atmosphere becomes increasingly fiery.

"This is my business card, very happy to know someone as outstanding as you, Empress Mu Xue." Hua Yuhan says with a bright smile, carefully handing over his business card.

Lin Mu Xue nods slightly, takes it casually, and glances at it.

【Jiahe Department Store Trading Co., Ltd., Purchasing Department Manager, Hua Yuhan】

She has heard of Jiahe Supermarket; it has a bit of fame locally in Yancheng.

Looking at Hua Yuhan's age and position, he is probably a standard second-generation entrepreneur, barely reaching the threshold of making friends with her.

At least he is much stronger than Lu Yun and Zhou Hao.

Lin Mu Xue picks up a glass of Ace of Spades champagne, the corners of her mouth lifting in an arc. "Hello, Manager Hua."

"No need to be so polite, just call me by my name!" Hua Yuhan hurriedly picks up his wine glass and clinks it with hers, deliberately lowering the rim of his glass a bit.

"Gulp—" The cool wine enters her throat, full of fruity fragrance.

Hua Yuhan takes the opportunity to start chatting with Lin Mu Xue, mainly about Lanfeng International Hotel.

Their company is also one of the hotel's partners, so they can be considered to have some common topics.

After the contact just now, he has already heard about the other party's status, feeling greatly shocked, and also had the idea of making friends.

Zhou Hao watches this scene, feeling sour and bitter in his heart, the sense of loss wrapping around him.

After all, he is still a college student; in such an occasion, he simply cannot get Lin Mu Xue's attention.

If it weren't for Lin Yuzhen's reason, the other party might not even look at him much.

Lin Yuzhen, Li Xiaotong, and the others on the side listen to their chat, enjoying the visual and auditory enjoyment brought by the best-positioned booth, their moods all different.

After a while.

Hua Yuhan clears his throat, pretending to say: "That side is some middle and high-level leaders of Zhongcheng Group, they are also our partners, I just went over to talk business."

Hearing this, Lin Mu Xue raises her eyebrows, turns around, and looks toward the S5 booth, immediately seeing a familiar figure.

"Qin Hua?"

"Oh? You know Supervisor Qin?" Hua Yuhan laughs: "What a coincidence! I am also friends with Supervisor Qin."

Lin Mu Xue nods. "Mm, had contact before, if I remember correctly, she is the supervisor of the president's office of Zhongcheng Group."

Hua Yuhan responds immediately: "Mm, it's the administrative supervisor! Empress Mu Xue's social circle is really huge!"

Immediately, he took the opportunity to toast Lin Mu Xue another glass of wine.

Lin Mu Xue smiles without saying much, turning her attention to the cold-skinned girl next to Qin Hua.

To be precise, she looks at the bracelet wrapped around the wrist of the hand holding the wine glass.

There is a beautiful bracelet wrapped there, the Van Cleef & Arpels Perlée series.

Lin Mu Xue subconsciously touches her own wrist, where there is a bracelet of the same style, one of the jewelry pieces in the gift box Tang Song gave her on Qixi Festival.

To match the dress and the atmosphere of the nightclub, she specially wore this bracelet worth over 50,000.

But this doesn't mean the other party is anything to Tang Song.

After all, being able to be close friends with a socialite like Qin Hua, naturally, she isn't short of money, and it's very normal to be able to afford Van Cleef & Arpels.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Hua Yuhan speaks up at the right time: "Empress Mu Xue, do you know that girl next to Qin Hua?"

"Don't know." Lin Mu Xue shakes her head indifferently.

Hua Yuhan explains immediately: "Her background is not ordinary, she is the daughter of executive director Tian Chengye of Zhongcheng Group, called Tian Jing, and is also Qin Hua's best friend."

Lin Mu Xue sips her champagne. "So that's how it is."

Although she is calm on the surface, she is calculating rapidly in her heart whether to go over and make friends; after all, she is on her own turf now.

She is still very keen on making friends with such true socialites, which can both expand her social circle and show off her style.

If it were before, encountering such true socialites, she would somewhat feel inferior and retreat.

After all, she was once a fake socialite, which is what such people are made of.

But now that she has the black card and has received Tang Song's approval, she is truly full of confidence.

"Hey, that woman is looking at our side." A female colleague reminds in a low voice.

Everyone turns to look, just happening to bump into the gaze Lin Mu Xue cast toward this side.

Qin Hua is startled, then reveals a big smile, raising her glass to signal.

"Do you know her, Supervisor Qin?" Someone asks curiously.

Qin Hua smiles and nods: "Mm, I do know her."

A male colleague jokes: "Sure enough, beauties and beauties cherish each other, haha."

Everyone agrees one after another, their tone carrying a hint of ingratiation.

Immediately after, in their sight, Lin Mu Xue stands up elegantly and walks toward this side gracefully.

Everyone's voices lower, and their attention is instantly focused on her.

Regardless of anything else, the previous huge momentum and scene made this woman the center of attention, and they are also quite curious.

Qin Hua puts down her wine glass, stands up to greet her: "Hello, Empress Mu Xue, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Qin Hua." Lin Mu Xue walks into the booth, smiles and greets Qin Hua, but her gaze sweeps rapidly over Tian Jing sitting there.

Besides the Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet, there is also a Tiffany T Stone circle necklace (220,000), Cartier LOVE series earrings (60,000).

The clothes are relatively casual, not too gorgeous, just ordinary autumn styles from Dior.

Overall, this is a socialite who isn't too high-profile but is very rich.

Just in terms of appearance, she really looks like the type Tang Song doesn't like.

Gazes meet.

Tian Jing blinks her watery, big eyes, a sweet smile appearing on her face.

I don't know why, but she always feels that this woman named Lin Mu Xue is looking at her with a strange gaze.

Not only has she been stealing glances at her face and chest, but her eyes are filled with probing and deep meaning,

and she has an extraordinary enthusiasm and intimacy toward her.

Seemingly thinking of something, Tian Jing's expression changes, and scenes from various classic GL anime suddenly flash through her mind.

(OwO)! Lesbian?

Shuni! Could it be that she fell in love with me at first sight?!

If one factor could be called a coincidence, then with so many clues gathered together, it was a bit weird.

It's possible she really is Tang Song's woman, or even a direct descendant of Jin Dongshi!

And ever since she received the "First Snow" gifted by Jin Dongshi last time, she felt she was following the other party, so speaking of it, she could be considered a partner in the same faction!

"Hey, that woman is looking at our side." A female colleague reminded in a low voice.

Everyone turned to look, just in time to run into the gaze Lin Mu Xue cast toward this side.

Qin Hua was stunned, then showed a big smile, raising her glass to signal.

"Supervisor Qin, do you know her?" Someone asked curiously.

Qin Hua smiled and nodded, "Hmm, I do know her."

A male colleague joked, "Sure enough, beauties and beauties cherish each other, haha."

Everyone echoed, their tone carrying a hint of flattery.

Immediately after, in their sight, Lin Mu Xue stood up elegantly and walked toward this side gracefully.

The voices of the crowd lowered a bit, and their attention quickly focused on her.

In any case, the huge momentum and scene before made this woman the center of attention, and they were also quite curious.

Qin Hua put down her wine glass and stood up to greet her, "Hello, Mu Xue, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Qin Hua." Lin Mu Xue walked into the booth, smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Qin Hua, but her eyes quickly swept over Tian Jing who was sitting there.

Besides the Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, there was also a Tiffany Stone circle necklace (220,000), and Cartier LOVE series earrings (60,000).

The clothes were relatively casual and not too gorgeous, just ordinary Dior autumn wear.

In general, this was a low-key but very rich "white, rich, and beautiful" girl.

Judging from her appearance alone, she really looked like the type Tang Song didn't like.

Their eyes met.

Tian Jing blinked her watery big eyes, a sweet smile on her face.

For some reason, she always felt that this woman named Lin Mu Xue had a strange look in her eyes when looking at her.

Lin Mu Xue clinked glasses with Qin Hua, drank a small sip, and then gestured to the staff next to her.

The waiter, who had been paying attention to her every move, approached quickly, "General Manager Lin, what do you need?"

Lin Mu Xue pointed to the booth, her tone gentle and calm, "Tell General Manager Ren, give this table the lowest discount."

"Okay, received!" The waiter responded and turned to walk away quickly.

Qin Hua was stunned, "Mu Xue, you—"

Lin Mu Xue shook her head with a smile, saying casually, "It's okay, we are friends anyway. Since you came here to consume, as the hotel side, it's only right to give some discounts."

"Then—you work at Lanfeng International Hotel?"

1

"You could say that." Lin Mu Xue shook the wine glass in her hand, a faint arc at the corner of her mouth, "It's part of the business I'm responsible for."

The people in the booth looked at each other, and the look in their eyes toward her changed subtly.

They naturally knew how awesome Lanfeng International Hotel was.

Being able to say it in this tone showed the other party's confidence.

A vivid smile bloomed on Qin Hua's face, "Alright, then thank you, Mu Xue. Do you want to sit down and have a drink and chat?"

"Okay, then I'll respectfully obey." Lin Mu Xue sat down opposite Tian Jing.

After drinking two glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Lin Mu Xue suddenly took out an exquisite business card from her bag, handed it over with a smile, "Xiao Jing, nice to meet you, this is my contact information, hope we can be friends."

Tian Jing reached out and took the business card, a sweet smile still on her face, "Okay, thank you, Mu Xue, it's my honor."

The two clinked glasses again, the crisp collision sound appearing particularly clear in the noisy bar.

Having achieved her goal, Lin Mu Xue stood up elegantly, nodded to the crowd, and prepared to leave.

However, after walking two steps, she turned to look at Tian Jing again, a warm smile on her face, "Xiao Jing, we must keep in touch, hope we can meet again soon."

"Hmm, okay, keep in touch." Tian Jing nodded obediently, her tone light and flawless.

After Lin Mu Xue walked out of the booth, Tian Jing's fingertips gently turned the business card in her hand.

Very beautiful and high-end material, the thickness was just right, low-key and luxurious, with weight and flexibility.

It only had the name and phone number printed on it, without any specific position or company information.

Looking up at the other party's extremely coquettish back.

Tian Jing's eyes flickered, and she keenly sensed something wrong.

This Lin Mu Xue definitely had some unspeakable secret!

She had deliberately sat opposite her just now, not only peeking at her face and chest, but her eyes were full of probing and deep meaning,

and she had an unusual enthusiasm and intimacy toward her.

Seeming to have thought of something, Tian Jing's expression changed, and scenes from classic GL anime suddenly appeared in her mind.

(OwO)! Lesbian?

Oh my! Could it be that she fell in love with me at first sight?!
