Their eyes met.

Gao Mengting raised her eyebrows and stopped walking.

Looking at the woman standing outside the company door, he said, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Uh..." Lin Mu Xue's eyes flickered. "It's nothing, I just went to the wrong floor."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the stairwell, her slender waist swaying gently.

The high heels clicked crisply on the smooth floor, like a beautiful melody echoing through the office building.

Watching her figure disappear into the elevator, Gao Mengting turned and walked towards the restroom.

For some reason, I had a strange feeling in my heart.

The way that woman looked at me just now was very strange.

After using the restroom, I returned to my workstation.

I opened the Douyin Shop backend, organized the recent data, and looked at the spreadsheet sent by the finance department.

Gao Mengting stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "Comrades!"

Once all the employees' attention was focused.

Gao Mengting continued, "Since the premiere on the 13th, our GMV has reached 600,000! Thank you all for your hard work; the results have far exceeded the company's expectations!"

"Clap clap clap—"

The office area immediately erupted in applause, laughter, and congratulations.

Since its initial broadcast became a huge hit, the company's live streaming business has been steadily growing.

This has made the newly formed team more and more cohesive, and they are full of confidence in the company and their own future.

Especially those people poached from Changyun Media are very glad they made that decision.

My former colleagues have often asked them to help with referrals.

As the crowd gradually quieted down...

Gao Mengting spoke again, "There are only 7 days left this month. Let's all work hard and strive to break one million in the first month. Mr. Tang told me personally yesterday that if we can achieve this goal, he will give everyone a big surprise."

"What surprise!?"

"President Gao, could you give me a hint?"

"Are they going to treat us to Emperor Crab again?"

Gao Mengting covered her mouth and chuckled, "I don't know either, but we can always trust Mr. Tang."

They had all witnessed the extravagant spending of the Tang Song dynasties.

If he can deliver on his promise of a big surprise, then it's definitely something to look forward to.

Looking at her employees, who were full of fighting spirit and eager to get started, Gao Mengting smiled broadly.

Songmei Clothing's break-even point this month is approximately 900,000 yuan in sales.

In other words, they are very likely to make a profit in the first month of their business.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened.

Lin Mu Xue quickly adjusted her mindset and walked towards the company with an upright posture.

"Mu Xue, you're back?" Sun Yang, her male colleague sitting at the front desk, quickly stood up and pointed to the beautifully packaged bag on her workstation, saying, "I was afraid you wouldn't have time to order food, so I ordered a light meal for you in advance."

"Thank you. How much? I'll transfer it to you later." Lin Mu Xue nodded absentmindedly and sat down in her seat.

As a well-known financial institution, Rongxin Venture Capital's front office area is very spacious and luxurious.

There are two workstations in total, both equipped with 27-inch Apple iMac desktop computers.

Lin Mu Xue was just one of the two front desk administrators; the other was Sun Yang.

The handsome young man is also very good-looking.

However, Sun Yang usually stays in the administrative office area.

He would only come to the front desk when important clients or leaders visited the company, or when Lin Mu Xue was on leave.

"No need, it's not much money, don't be so polite." Sun Yang rested his arm on the desk, glancing at her beautiful profile and graceful figure out of the corner of his eye.

My female colleague at the company is beautiful, Bai Fumei. It's impossible for her not to have some ulterior motives.

Occasionally, I fantasize about winning his favor and living a life of being a kept man.

Today, my goddess colleague looks exceptionally beautiful, with a well-fitting women's suit, exquisite makeup and accessories, and long, snow-white legs.

She possessed a unique beauty that was both intellectual and Pure Desire, making it difficult for him to look away.

Noticing the faint, burning gaze, Lin Mu Xue frowned.

He turned around Wei Xiao, "Sun Yang, I'm all set here, you can go back to your work."

"Okay, okay." Sun Yang blushed a little, quickly packed his things, and stood up to walk towards the office.

At 12:40 PM, I finished lunch.

Lin Mu Xue crossed her legs and leaned back in the chair.

Open WeChat and go to Moments.

I carefully selected sexy and beautiful photos from the album.

Copywriting: "There are many kinds of happiness, but seeing you is the most beautiful one."

Set it to be visible only to "Tang Song" and click Publish.

After doing all that, she left a message for Tang Song: "I suddenly remembered, you work on the 30th floor of Yunxi Building, right? I'm not too busy at work lately, when would be a good time for me to visit your company?"

"Buzzing—"

The Mobile Phone suddenly vibrated violently as soon as the message was sent.

It was a voice call invitation from Qianqian.

Lin Mu Xue's hand trembled, her eyes filled with panic. Could it be that Qianqian had seen the message she had just sent?

I gritted my teeth and answered the call anyway.

"What's wrong, Qianqian?" Her voice was very soft, she was really feeling guilty and lacked confidence.

Soon, Zhao Yachian's cheerful voice came through the receiver. "Xiao Xue, you should be taking your lunch break right now, right? Is it convenient for you to talk?"

"Yes, that's convenient, go ahead." Hearing the other person's tone, Lin Mu Xue instantly relaxed.

This beautician friend is a very simple person and never hides her emotions.

Zhao Yachian exclaimed excitedly, "I have amazing news! We'll be neighbors soon! We can visit each other all the time!"

Lin Mu Xue was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "Yanjing Huating has suitable apartments available?"

As a well-established, high-end residential community, very few houses here are rented out.

She had contacted a real estate agent before, and there were one or two apartments available, but the renovations were terrible, the floors were bad, and the prices were ridiculously high.

"No, my boyfriend bought me an apartment there without telling me beforehand, wanting to surprise me. I only found out this morning. I don't even know which building it is yet; I plan to go to Anjia Real Estate this afternoon to complete the formalities..."

Zhao Yachian continued to recount her surprise and emotion at receiving her first home.

Sitting at her workstation, Lin Mu Xue stared in disbelief, struggling to breathe, her eyes reddening.

Because I was at the company, I had to force myself not to cry.

The house... the house in Yanjing Huating...

A multi-million dollar annual salary wasn't enough; he also wanted to be gifted the luxury mansion he'd always dreamed of!

Ugh! This is terrible!

"Hey, Xiao Xue, are you listening?"

Lin Mu Xue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a dry voice, "I'm here."

"Brother Song asked me to decorate this house properly, including furniture, clothes, bags, and decorations. I don't know much about these things, so could you give me some pointers? I think your house is very beautiful."

Hearing this, Lin Mu Xue was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "Sure, by the way, Qianqian, you're going to complete the formalities this afternoon, right?"

"Yeah, Brother Song just dropped me off at Vast Sky Garden. I'm planning to change my clothes and head over there."

"I'm not busy at work today. I happen to be at Yanjing Huating. Let me know when you're inspecting the house, and I'll come over and check it out for you."

"Okay! Thank you, Xiao Xue. I'll send you the address after I've completed the formalities!"

I hung up the phone.

Lin Mu Xue's gaze flickered uncertainly.

She suddenly realized that if Qianqian owned her own house here, her crisis would be averted.

That old classmate who was always opening her own blind boxes was her nightmare.

Once her true situation is exposed, the consequences will be unbearable for her; it will be worse than death.

She could have taken this opportunity to decorate that apartment in a similar style to the one she was renting.

With Qianqian's financial means, buying luxury goods would be a piece of cake.

If forced into a corner, confess everything to Qianqian and beg her for forgiveness.

Knowing her beautician friend as she did, she was certain the other party wouldn't refuse.

Just then, a voice rang out from the side. "Mu Xue, how was the light meal at noon?"

Looking up, she saw Sun Yang Yoyo approaching, looking concerned. "I saw in the reviews that this tender pan-fried steak with barley and pumpkin rice is especially delicious, so I ordered this for you. I don't know if it suits your taste."

"It's delicious, thank you." Lin Mu Xue's eyes lit up, and Wei Xiao as she said, "By the way, Sun Yang, I have some urgent business to attend to, so I might be back at the company a little late this afternoon. Why don't you come to the front desk to work later?"

"Okay, I'll go tidy up now." Sun Yang agreed and turned to walk towards the office.

Save the document you're writing to the cloud, grab your water bottle, name tag, earphones, and other personal items, and quickly return to the front desk.

"Mu Xue..." Sun Yang was about to say something caring when he saw the empty workstation and the missing Dior Bag.

A look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Huaxin District, Hengyuan Motorcycle Dealership Main Store.

In the huge, luxurious showroom, under bright lights, rows of brand-new motorcycles were parked quietly, dazzling the eye.

This is the largest car dealership in Yancheng, representing several mainstream brands such as Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha.

"This is the Kawasaki Ninja 400, with an inline twin-cylinder, four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine producing a maximum of 47.6 horsepower... a high-spec multi-function instrument panel, and a uni Trak rear suspension system..."

The male salesman, dressed in a black suit, enthusiastically introduced the car models.

Tang Song sat down and tried it out, experiencing the sitting posture and comfort.

He patted the ninja400 beneath him and said, "Let's take it for a test drive."

"Okay, I'll take you to register!" the salesperson quickly agreed and led him toward the registration desk.

Show your driver's license, fill out the form, and wear protective gear.

Upon arriving at the test drive area behind the dealership, the test driver pushed a green Ninja 400 over.

I gave a thorough explanation of the vehicle's basic operation, functions, and safety precautions.

Tang Song inserted the key, started the engine, and began to move along, though he was still somewhat inexperienced.

Manual motorcycles, unlike scooters, are more difficult to drive.

Carefully following the test drive route, accelerating, shifting gears, braking, steering...

The riding posture is quite comfortable, balancing daily riding and sports. It has ample power and a good appearance, making it a very popular beginner model online.

The lightweight frame and weight also result in a great handling experience.

After the test drive, Tang Song didn't hesitate and asked, "The only available Ninja 400s are black and red, right?"

He had already called ahead before coming; this trip was to select a car, test drive it, and place an order.

"The Spark Black and Flame Red color options are available in stock and can be transferred directly. The After-Snow Clear Skies and KRT Edition require advance ordering, and the entire delivery process takes about a month."

"Okay, then let's choose black. Can we complete the transfer today?"

Upon hearing that the deal was done, the salesperson smiled happily. "We can handle the process for you; it can be done this afternoon. However, you can only get a temporary license plate today. The official license plate will take 3 or 4 days. You can choose to have it mailed to your home; it's very convenient."

"OK, sure." Tang Song nodded readily and followed the salesperson into the lobby.

For him, the biggest purpose of his first motorcycle was to help him improve his driving experience; there was no need to overthink it.

Once I'm more skilled, I'll definitely switch to a liter-class motorcycle, like Kawasaki H2, Ducati V4, or BMW Double R...

Yanjing Huating.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone rang.

Lin Mu Xue, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly answered the phone.

Soon, Zhao Yachian's excited voice came through the receiver. "Xiao Xue, I've already signed the contract, and the sales consultant is leading me into the community. The apartment is in Unit 1 of Building 6."

"Okay, Qianqian, I'll wait for you downstairs."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu Xue took a deep breath, picked up her bag, and walked outside.

Although she has lived here for more than a year, she really doesn't know the layout of the apartment in Building 6.

However, the smallest apartment in the entire Yanjing Huating is a spacious three-bedroom unit of 130 square meters.

I just don't know how the renovation will go. I hope it will meet the standards I want to live in, so that the renovation will be much easier.

With mixed feelings of anticipation and longing, Lin Mu Xue walked along the stone path to Building No. 6.

After waiting for a short while, I saw Zhao Yachian, who was carrying an LV bag Tall and Long Legs. Next to her was a female salesperson in her 30s.

"Xiao Xue!" Zhao Yachian waved vigorously, took a few quick steps and hugged her. "Thank you, my dear, for taking time out of your work to come and be with me."

Lin Mu Xue said affectionately, "We're best friends, helping each other is only natural. Congratulations Qianqian on your new house!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yachian immediately lit up with a smile. "That's great! I can live here too, and we can always be neighbors."

Lin Mu Xue's expression stiffened for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go upstairs and take a look at your mansion."

Swipe open the unit door and step into the spacious and bright entrance lobby.

Take the elevator directly to the 6th floor.

The hallway was illuminated by warm yellow lights, and the decor was exquisite and elegant.

Opening the heavy armored door, the sales consultant gestured and said, "Ms. Zhao, your apartment is located on the second-to-top floor, the 6th floor, which is an absolutely Golden Floor with excellent natural light, fresh air, and beautiful views."

The house has four bedrooms, two living rooms, and three bathrooms, and is 180 square meters in size. The original owner was a very successful local businessman, and the renovation was excellent.

Chapman's custom-made cast aluminum armored door features a high-quality smart lock and video doorbell. Remember to change the password later.

"Okay, thank you." Zhao Yachian nodded quickly and walked in excitedly, eager to admire her new home.

Lin Mu Xue's eyes reddened again.

This is so unfair!

The 180-square-meter unit is the largest in the Yanjing Huating villas. With six floors added, the price is estimated to be over 30,000 yuan per square meter.

The key point is that no one will sell it; it is an absolutely scarce property.

Lin Mu Xue gritted her teeth and followed her inside.

Upon seeing the interior decoration, her eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed, clutching her heart, "It's so beautiful!"

"It's really beautiful." Zhao Yachian stared blankly at her own mansion, feeling as if she were in a dream, her heart surging with excitement.

Ever since she and Tang Song took that final step, she's had a sense of unreality, and she often pinches herself, afraid that she's dreaming.

"Tap tap tap—" The sound of high heels tapping on the solid wood floor rang out.

Lin Mu Xue licked her lips, quickly walked into the living room, and began to wander around the house on her own, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused.

The U-shaped Entrance Hall features warm-toned solid wood flooring throughout, with the shoe cabinet and wardrobe seamlessly integrated into the entire wall, creating a very grand and spacious feel.

A huge floor-to-ceiling window makes the entire living room look spacious and airy.

The design without a main light and the floating ceiling create a wonderful atmosphere.

A modern fabric sofa with contrasting colors, featuring smooth lines and soft hues...

A full-wall sideboard, a dual kitchen featuring both Chinese and Western styles, and a hidden sliding door.

Bosch's custom-designed refrigerators, dishwashers, microwave ovens, and other kitchen appliances are perfectly suited to the apartment layout.

The kitchen also has an entrance/exit for housekeepers, which does not affect the privacy of the main line.

The spacious restaurant can accommodate eight people at the same time, and features a glass wine cabinet, a western-style cabinet, a bar...

The master bedroom features a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, wallpapered upholstery, a separate walk-in closet, and a bathroom.

The overall design presents a perfect modern minimalist style, with every detail exuding sophistication and comfort.

All the furniture and appliances are custom-made by major brands, so luxurious it's dazzling.

Lin Mu Xue stood in the center of the living room, her face flushed and her heart pounding, unable to contain her emotions.

Looking around, her vision gradually blurred, and it seemed that she was the only one left in the entire house.

If you fill your walk-in closet with clothes, bags, accessories, and watches, that's the house of your dreams!

Of course, this also includes: Hermès, LV, Chanel, Patek Philippe, Tang Song...
