Chapter 535: Tang Jin Manor

Night shrouded Yancheng.

The glass curtain walls of Lanfeng International Apartment reflected the floating light of the city.

"Ding—" The elevator door opened slowly, and a crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Lin Mu Xue, wearing a well-tailored professional suit and pointed high heels, walked out of the elevator first, followed closely by two wealthy second-generation friends, Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao.

They were brightly dressed, with exquisite makeup, chatting and laughing as they crowded around her.

"The environment here at Lanfeng International Apartment is really good."

Lin Mu Xue's mouth lifted slightly, her tone indifferent: "It's mainly for convenience; it's close to the company, and the service is perfect, saving me a lot of energy."

"Indeed, the property service is synchronized with Lanfeng International Hotel, with 24-hour butler service, very suitable for a busy person like you."

The three chatted all the way and arrived in front of room 2002.

Lin Mu Xue raised her hand and pressed the fingerprint lock. With a "click," the heavy door opened in response, and warm yellow light spilled out, reflecting her calm and elegant figure.

"Welcome everyone to be guests at my home, please come in." She stepped aside to let the two enter.

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas on her wrist flashed lightly, and the Tiffany Soleste diamond pendant between her collarbones swayed slightly with her movements, adding a few points of dazzling brilliance to her.

Stepping into the foyer.

The walls were treated with leather hard-packing, paired with soft spotlighting, creating a low-key and luxurious atmosphere.

It is worth mentioning that there was an entrance mat with the letter "Luna" pattern on the floor.

"The renovation is really good, very stylish!" Zhang Xi praised sincerely.

"This chandelier is the Ferruccio Laviani series; I've seen it online, the real thing is truly beautiful."

"Oh, I saw you asking about this B&B chair in your Moments a while ago; you bought it so quickly?"

Lin Mu Xue casually placed her Hermès Birkin bag on the rack, her tone indifferent: "I thought it was quite pretty, so I ordered it directly; it didn't cost much anyway."

"Okay... that's 80,000 yuan..."

"Xiao Xue has the strength."

The three continued to walk toward the living room.

The whole house had a smooth flow, and outside the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, the bustling night view of Yancheng was in full view.

The wide and bright space and carefully arranged furniture all displayed the owner's aesthetics and financial resources.

After a simple tour, Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao looked at each other, and a hint of complex emotion welled up in their hearts.

Just now in the cloakroom, they saw the Hermès Birkin 20 "White House" (First Snow) displayed on the cabinet.

And besides this top-tier bag worth 2 million, there were also clothing, jewelry, and accessories from first-line brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, and Dior. They had known Lin Mu Xue for over a year; at first, it was just a chance meeting at a cocktail party, and later they deepened their understanding because of a "clashing outfit" incident.

At that time, although Lin Mu Xue was dressed exquisitely and claimed to be a mid-to-high-level manager at a financial company, she always carried a trace of "pretending," as if she were trying hard to maintain an excellent image.

The things she used were all at the ordinary luxury level, and the most expensive bag was a Chanel worth forty or fifty thousand.

When going out to eat, she was often the one they paid for.

Both of their families were wealthy families with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, so they naturally had some subconscious condescension toward Lin Mu Xue.

However, because the other party really knew a lot and they had common topics, they became friends.

The real change was knowing her other identity—a high-level executive at Lanfeng International Hotel.

It was also because of this identity that they were willing to invest in Xuetang Culture.

But this meeting after the October 1st holiday refreshed their cognition once again.

They could clearly feel that Lin Mu Xue's temperament and confidence were different.

Sensing the small expressions of her two old friends, Lin Mu Xue couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth, her pace becoming even lighter.

After getting the credit black card, she finally got rid of "bluffing" and truly became a "rich person."

After calming down.

The first thing she did was to open memberships for all video, music, cloud storage, and novel platforms.

The second thing was to comprehensively upgrade her little nest, adding many luxury furniture items, making the whole space more textured and tasteful.

It was about the same as when Qian Qian signed the trust with her initially.

Of course, this was a credit card after all, and the company had to pay the bill.

And these two things she did were also related to Tang Song.

She was Tang Song's assistant, and occasionally he would come over to stay, so creating a good living environment was crucial.

Those video and music memberships could also let the boss relax his mind.

And tonight was the first time she brought friends home after the upgrade.

She specifically chose these two "investors."

One was to show off, and the other was to demonstrate strength and determine her dominant position.

Although in the development of Xuetang Culture, she was the main one, these two wealthy friends still had some filters for her from the past.

Appropriately showing off her awesomeness and breaking their cognition was the only way to make them completely follow her.

Changing into a comfortable dress in the cloakroom.

Lin Mu Xue took out a bottle of Dom Pérignon champagne, her slender fingers nimbly twisting open the cork with a light "pop."

The amber liquid was slowly poured into the Heritage limited edition crystal glass.

The crystal glass refracted dazzling light under the lamp, and the bubbles of the champagne jumped happily.

Lin Mu Xue couldn't help but take out her phone and take a bunch of photos, then shared them to her Moments.

Only then did she end up satisfied, picking up the wine glass and chatting with Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao.

"Ding ding ding~"

The sound of wine glasses clinking rang out, crisp and pleasant.

Soon, in her Moments, likes and comments poured in like a tide.

As an extremely popular woman, she had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment.

However, one comment instantly attracted her attention.

【Shen Yu Yan: "Xiao Xue, your nightlife is truly colorful, surrounded by stars, I'm truly envious."】

Lin Mu Xue couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of playfulness flashing in the depths of her eyes.

If there was anything that made her feel particularly happy recently, it was that Shen Yu Yan had suddenly become her "lick-dog" and "like-maniac."

These past few days, every time she shared "showing off wealth," "socializing," or "gathering" updates in her Moments, Shen Yu Yan would be the first to like them, and what she said was particularly pleasing to the ear, expressing envy and jealousy from time to time, giving full emotional value.

If it weren't for that "special assistant" who suddenly popped up, how cool would she be now!

Regarding that so-called "special assistant," she actually had some guesses.

It might be that foreign woman who was "moaning and groaning" on the other end when she was talking to Tang Song on the phone.

She had heard those unbearable "flirty words" on the phone at the time.

One look and you could tell she wasn't a good person.

It looks like she'll have to develop some new ball skills with her beautician friend in the future.

Speaking of which, Qian Qian's tongue is truly nimble and has great potential.

e=('。*) sigh.

Being an assistant isn't easy; Xiao Xue sighs.

"Ding-dong—" The WeChat notification sound rang.

【Tian Jing: "Is that so? I didn't even notice it myself."】

Lin Mu Xue's eyes lit up.

These past few days, she had been deliberately getting close to Tian Jing to probe for information.

But Tian Jing's attitude had always been very cold.

She didn't expect her to change her usual state today and appear exceptionally enthusiastic.

Thinking for a moment, Lin Mu Xue replied: "Your skin is particularly fair, very suitable for strawberry red/coral red, this kind of fresh and sweet color; I'll give you a lipstick another day."

"Yu yu yu—"

【Tian Jing: (Holding face excitedly) Wow! Mu Xue, you are so good at praising people~】

Lin Mu Xue was stunned, feeling something wasn't quite right, but she continued along the topic: (#Covering mouth and laughing) Shopping together next time? I guarantee I'll make you blush with praise, haha."

【Tian Jing: "Eh! Are you... are you wanting me to wear all kinds of clothes for you to see?"】

Lin Mu Xue's fingers hovered above the screen, speechless for a moment.

How was the direction of this conversation getting weirder and weirder?

Hesitating for a while, she bit the bullet and replied: "Xiao Jing, your figure is so good, I'm sure you look good in anything."

【Tian Jing: "Actually, your figure is also very good; I think it's very sexy, especially your legs."】

Subsequently, the content of the chat started to go off-track.

The expression on Lin Mu Xue's face became increasingly strange, and she couldn't handle it anymore.

Damn it! How come this girl Tian Jing feels so weird?

Lin Mu Xue shivered and hurriedly replied "I'm going to take a shower" and quickly put away her phone.

She refocused her attention on Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao.

Lin Mu Xue clinked glasses with the two and stated the purpose of inviting them today: "You should know that Xuetang Culture's development momentum has been good recently. Now the short drama market is exploding, and my company's scale needs to be further expanded. Next, I plan to launch a financing plan; how about it? Are you interested in participating?"

After finishing, she took a light sip of champagne, her movements elegant and natural, as if the words just now were just a casual mention, but her gaze carried a few points of expectation and probing.

The current popularity of short dramas far exceeded her expectations; there weren't enough hands or venues.

Relying solely on Xu Ning and those 3 small staff members, they simply couldn't handle it.

If she didn't increase investment and expand the team, the existing business would soon fall into a bottleneck.

However, her real savings weren't much, plus the gold bars, it was only about 200,000 yuan.

Although the credit black card had a monthly spending limit of 150,000 US dollars, this money could only be used for work-related expenses and absolutely could not be cashed out.

She knew this clearly in her heart and would absolutely not risk touching the bottom line.

Although with her current status and position, she could completely find professional financial institutions for financing.

But she knew her own level, was afraid of being cheated, and was afraid of the company getting out of her control.

And Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao were the best choices.

After all, the initial startup capital for Xuetang Culture was exactly because these two invested 300,000 each that it barely managed to hold up.

These two trusted her and were easy to control at the same time.

Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao looked at each other, exchanged a look, and then nodded vigorously at the same time: "No problem! You see how much money is needed, and we'll discuss the specific plan."

Hearing this, Lin Mu Xue's mouth lifted slightly, and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will let the professional team under me make a financing plan; it will absolutely not infringe on your interests." Lin Mu Xue's tone was gentle but confident. "Come, cheers to our future."

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

◆￠o

The cold champagne slid into her throat, carrying a slight acidity and a sweet aftertaste.

Lin Mu Xue leaned lazily on the single sofa, her long legs elegantly crossed, the Dom Pérignon in her hand refracting fine golden light under the lamp.

She opened her mouth as if inadvertently: "By the way, Jiao Sect, Xixi, next month I'm going to fly to London to attend the Imperial College Global MBA alumni meeting. This year's event is held at the private manor of the Duke of Charleston; do you want to go over and play for a few days together?"

Zhang Xi's wine glass paused abruptly, and the champagne nearly spilled out.

She widened her eyes, her voice raising unconsciously: "Wait, Xiao Xue, you are a graduate student at Imperial College?"

Li Yujiao also sat up straight slightly, looking at Lin Mu Xue with a complex gaze.

As if re-recognizing this friend.

"Hmm." Lin Mu Xue crossed her legs, shook her wine glass lightly, her tone indifferent: "What I value is the network behind it. My boyfriend felt sorry for me working too hard, so he went behind my back and connected with the school's development office. He donated a sum of money and talked about an academic cooperation project, so the school gave a fast track."

Li Yujiao's throat rolled, staring at Lin Mu Xue in disbelief: "Is that the boyfriend you mentioned before who invested in the Yannan Film and Television Base?"

"Hmm, yes." Lin Mu Xue nodded lightly. Zhang Xi's breathing became rapid. "This... Xiao Xue—your boyfriend got you a fast track through donations and academic cooperation?"

She had obtained her diploma in Britain during college, so she naturally knew how high the threshold was for Imperial College to make an exception to accept "donations."

That was absolutely not a small amount, not to mention the resources and connections behind it.

Being able to let a top global university open a green light for someone, this kind of energy was simply suffocating.

"Hehe, actually I really wanted to take the exam myself, but he is quite overbearing and doesn't want me to leave him for too long."

Lin Empress Mu Xue took a sip of champagne, a flush rising to her face, her voice filled with a touch of sweetness and shyness.

First, show off enough in front of old friends, and when she gets to London, directly open the full-network "showing off" mode!

Completely solidify her financial high-knowledge persona, and by the way, show off her life to Shen Yu Yan, Tian Jing, Xu Qing, and Yao Yao Lingling.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu Xue hurriedly pressed her legs together.

Enduring the urge to urinate, she admired the shocked expressions of her two old friends.

Showing off is an art, and I am reaching the pinnacle.

（）

What "special assistant," wait until you come to work, Empress Mu Xue will definitely give you a warning!

Maybe I'll even draw a map on you later!

Just at this moment.

With a "click," the apartment door was pushed open.

Immediately after, steady footsteps rang out.

The three looked over at the same time.

A tall figure appeared at the entrance, wearing a clean-cut silver-gray suit, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with a powerful aura, carrying a shopping bag in his hand.

Seeming to notice the movement in the room, he raised his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three, revealing a handsome face.

The bridge of his nose was high, his lip line was clear, and his hair was pitch black.

Under the warm light, his whole person seemed to be plated with a layer of soft halo.

Like a male lead walking out of a workplace drama, or some "urban power broker" who had inadvertently broken into the real world.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds at this moment.

Lin Mu Xue's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate by half a beat, and she nearly drew a map on the spot.

It had been half a month, heaven knows how much she missed him!

If it weren't for the two old friends beside her, she would have definitely pounced on him by now.

But now she was stuck at the critical node of showing off.

This is like playing ball; at the critical moment, you absolutely cannot interrupt!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu Xue slowly stood up and said gently: "Tang Song, you're here; I'm just drinking with friends,

I was just talking about you."

Hearing her words.

Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi, who were still in a daze, instantly came back to their senses, the expressions on their faces so wonderful they nearly overflowed.

What the hell?!

This is Xiao Xue's legendary boyfriend?!

Look at the handsome male god at the entrance, then look at Xiao Xue in front of them.

Both of their eyes turned red.

They had naturally discussed Xiao Xue's "boyfriend" in private before, because Xiao Xue had never posted him on Moments,

so naturally there would be some bad guesses.

Now seeing the real person, they only felt the sky had collapsed.

Xiao Xue! You eat too well! You really deserve to die!

"Xiao Xue." Tang Song smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to the other two.

"Li Yujiao, Zhang Xi, they are both my friends." Lin Mu Xue introduced: "This is Tang Song, my—boyfriend."

After finishing, she couldn't help but secretly peek at Tang Song's expression.

Seeing the faint smile still hanging on his face, without the slightest displeasure, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good evening, two beauties." Tang Song raised his hand to greet them, his gaze flashing with surprise.

He naturally recognized that these two girls were the friends who were eating with Lin Mu Xue at the Shengweige restaurant before.

At that time, he was sitting behind the 3 of them, having just gotten his first car, starting the growth plan task, and full of expectations for the future.

While admiring beauties, while eating high-end food.

That mood and scene were still fresh in his memory.

Now that the four appeared in the same occasion again, their identities had long been reversed, and their relationship was completely different.

It made him feel a little touched.

"Hello." "Good evening, Mr. Tang!"

Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi stood up almost reflexively, their voices carrying an unconscious tension.

The crystal glasses in their hands swayed slightly, refracting fine spots of light.

Tang Song nodded, wrapped his arm around Lin Mu Xue's waist and sat down, casually handing the "date set" he brought from the company to her, making Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi envious and jealous for a while.

The four chatted for a while.

Tang Song took the crystal glass handed over by Xiao Xue, his fingertips inadvertently brushing her thigh, causing her breathing to stagnate, and she hurriedly pressed her legs together. After ten minutes or so.

Under Lin Mu Xue's eye signal, Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao "reluctantly" stood up to say goodbye.

"Bang—" The sound of the door closing was exceptionally clear in the quiet apartment.

Lin Mu Xue held her breath, her teeth lightly biting her lower lip as she looked at Tang Song.

"Tang Song—"

Before her words fell, her back was pressed against the solid wood cabinet in the foyer.

The cold surface of the cabinet transmitted waves of coolness through the thin clothing, while the man's body temperature in front of her was shockingly hot.

Immediately after, her body was pressed against the foyer cabinet.

The air seemed to be ignited, and the temperature climbed step by step.

"That..." Lin Mu Xue's voice trembled slightly. "I drank a lot of drinks tonight, and I just had champagne, so I have to go to the restroom."

"No need." Tang Song's gaze was mischievous, his fingers rubbing her waistline. "This is better, isn't it?"

Then, Tang Song leaned into her ear and whispered softly.

Lin Mu Xue's cheeks instantly flushed red, and her long eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

The night grew darker, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights of Yancheng dyed into a blurred sea of light.

A long time later, Lin Mu Xue dialed the phone of the beautician far away in Lu Province.

Communicating feelings across the phone.

The night in the Imperial Capital was drizzly, and the moist air carried a hint of coolness.

Inside the airport VIP passage, Anne Kate walked out with elegant and calm steps, her long golden hair swaying slightly under the light, carrying a hint of beautiful luster.

Behind her followed several assistants in suits and leather shoes, carrying various document bags and personal items.

A two-tone Bentley parked quietly at the exit.

"Bang—" The sound of the door closing rang out, and the noise of the outside world was instantly isolated.

The car drove away from the airport steadily, sliding along the wet road surface.

Anne leaned against the seat, gently rubbing her temples, and said lazily: "Hugh, I didn't expect you to come and pick me up personally."

Zheng Zheng Qiudong sat on the side, responding with a full face of smiles: "Anne, you might not know, how long I've been waiting for this day."

"Your words are prone to ambiguity, or are you saying you have ideas about me?" Anne raised her eyebrows, a cunning light flashing in her blue eyes.

Zheng Zheng Qiudong's eye corners twitched, and he hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood; I'm referring to the acquisition of SCG (Shiqiao Consulting). Originally, Jin Dongshi said you would arrive yesterday, but it dragged on until tonight. You should be able to guess how worried I was, so I came to pick you up specifically."

"Oh, OK." Anne shrugged, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Mentioning this, she felt a bit guilty.

She couldn't help but think of the days when she was exhausted from being tossed around two days ago.

Her legs were soft when walking, her head was dizzy, and it took her two full days to barely recover.

However, although these memories made her feel a bit ashamed, there was more of an endless aftertaste.

She waved her hand, pulling her thoughts back to reality, and said indifferently: "I will communicate this matter well with the people in the family responsible for related matters; the problems you are worried about will all be resolved later."

Zheng Zheng Qiudong, who received a definite promise, breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the topic and began to chat with her about the specific details of the acquisition.

The car drove along the airport expressway into the East Fourth Ring Road.

Approaching No. 8 Hesheng Xiaoyun Road.

Zheng Zheng Qiudong suddenly said: "By the way, Anne, I think there is one thing I need to tell you in advance. Tang Jin Manor might be put into use; last week I went to Europe and accidentally ran into Tina."

"Wow!" Anne exclaimed excitedly, a burning light igniting in her eyes. "This is a big deal! You know,

there should be a set of rooms belonging to me in the manor!"

Zheng Zheng Qiudong's expression was a bit strange, really wanting to say "I don't know."

But hindered by currently needing help from the other party, he could only follow along.

As a human essence, he could naturally see that Anne had designs on Director Tang, and there might be conflicts with Jin Dongshi in the future.

Sigh! Women are just troublesome!

The car stopped steadily in the underground garage, and Sister Shangguan Shangguan Qiuya, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted her and opened the door for her.

Anne walked off the car elegantly, casually throwing her Birkin bag to Sister Shangguan Shangguan Qiuya, and curled her red lips at Zheng Zheng Qiudong in the car: "byebye, Hugh."

Subsequently, she walked into the building with cat steps.

In the quiet high-speed elevator.

Anne looked in the mirror, brushed her golden hair to one side, revealing a neck line with beautiful lines.

Sister Shangguan Shangguan Qiuya lowered her voice and reminded: "By the way, Ms. Kate, there are currently other people in Jin Dongshi's home."

"Oh? Who is it?" Annie asked, raising an eyebrow, her tone tinged with a hint of curiosity.

Mira had always disliked others coming to her home, and being able to let Sister Shangguan Shangguan Qiuya specifically mention it, it must be a special person.

"Wen Wen Ruan, she is going to attend the meeting of Xingyun International Group tomorrow morning; she just arrived here half an hour ago." (538

Chapter)

Sister Shangguan Shangguan Qiuya answered concisely, while observing Anne's reaction with her peripheral vision.

"So it's her..." Anne's lips curled into a playful arc, as if capturing the scent of some kind of prey. "This is good news."

Sister Shangguan Shangguan Qiuya saw this and couldn't help but remind: "Tang Zong knows she came to the Imperial Capital."

Anne chuckled, her voice lazy and confident. "Don't worry, my dear Sister Shangguan, I just want to exchange some experience with her. I think, if possible, we can sleep in the same hotel tonight. You know, Mira never allows others to sleep in her home, even me."

Sister Shangguan Shangguan Qiuya's eye corners twitched, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It's precisely because she's guarding against you that she doesn't let you sleep here, okay?

If it were Wen Wen Ruan, it would be fine instead.

As everyone knows, this Ms. Kate used to be very interested in women. To prevent Tang Zong from misunderstanding, Jin Dongshi wouldn't allow her to live here either.

"Ding—"

The moment the elevator door opened, Anne had already stepped out with cat steps.

Passing through the corridor, pushing open the door, and walking into this 520-square-meter large flat.

"Ms. Kate, slippers—"

Anne turned a deaf ear, her red lips slightly raised, her footsteps not stopping.

Her gaze swept over the luxurious and exquisite decoration around her, carrying a few points of eagerness to try.

Circling around the Su embroidery screen, the living room lights spilled down softly, and the faint fragrance of Earl Grey tea drifted in the air.

Just in this elegant and quiet atmosphere, she saw her.

That "pervert" in Song's mouth.

Anne still remembered that night when Tang Song was insulting her ball skills while mentioning Wen Wen Ruan: "You aren't even half as good as her—she is the one who can rub me on the ground! You piece of trash!"

In fact, the reason she was so impatient about Wen Wen Ruan was mainly because of this reason.

Hearing the movement, Wen Wen Ruan turned her head slightly, then immediately stood up.

The black knitted skirt outlined heart-stopping curves with her rising movement, showing the sexiness unique to mature women to the fullest.

"Oh my..." "Well, well..." Anne dragged out her tone, her voice carrying undisguised pleasure, and said in Chinese: "Wen Wen Ruan, right? This isn't our first meeting; you are even more charming than in my memory, truly impressive." ===== CHAPTER 536 =====
