Classmates Reunite, Calm and Unruffled

Yuhua Business Building.

Ordinary People Culture Media Co., Ltd..

"Oh? Tang Song from the Computer Science department? I don't remember him."

"As far as I know, your Youjie Home Services's Angel Round plan aims to raise 5 million yuan, which means they have the ability to come up with 5 million yuan in cash flow, right?"

"OK! OK! I also think alumni are more approachable and reliable. I'll handle this well, don't worry!"

"Bye, let's meet again this weekend. If this can be done, I will definitely Good impression you and Qing Qing properly."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Liyuan's eyes gleamed with surprise.

Shen Yuyan suddenly added her to a small group chat, and after chatting for only a few minutes, he called her.

They said that Tang Song from the group was the investor who introduced her to the company!

When the three of them had dinner together last time, they heard that Gongying Technology was planning to invest in Youjie Home Services, and I did jokingly say that I had a suitable person to introduce.

I didn't expect them to actually do it, and so quickly at that.

Completing a round of financing is not easy; it requires facing enormous challenges and lengthy negotiations.

For example, the two Venture Capital their company is currently negotiating with have offered very harsh Betting Agreement.

There are clear regulations regarding time constraints, performance indicators, and profitability, making it very stressful to meet them.

One wrong move and you could lose control of the company, or have to pay to buy back shares.

If this alumnus's investment can be realized, it will be a good thing for them.

I returned to my seat, turned on my computer, found a file, and sent it to the group chat.

Guo Liyuan left a message in the group. "Tang Song, this is our company's Business Plan. Thank you very much for the trust of our alumni. Let's add each other as friends. You can ask me any questions. I promise to Yan Yan to the best of my ability."

Tang Song: "Received, I will get back to you as soon as possible. I am very optimistic about the Short Drama Market, and I wish us a successful collaboration."

Guo Liyuan first replied in the group, then clicked on Tang Song's profile picture and requested to add him as a friend.

I had a little meme battle with Xu Qing and Shen Yuyan in the group chat.

The friend request was successfully approved.

Guo Liyuan opened Tang Song's chat window and sent him all the company's market research reports, core team introductions, financial forecasts, and industry analysis reports via private message.

This is the financing material they commissioned a professional consulting firm to prepare. It is very comprehensive and can save Tang Song a lot of time if he really wants to invest.

Guo Liyuan thought for a moment and left a message: "Old classmate, I am deeply encouraged to receive your approval. This is all the information we have released to investment institutions. We hope you will seriously consider Ordinary People Culture Media Co., Ltd.. We will not let you down!"

"Buzzing—"

[Tang Song: "Received, thank you for your trust. I will make a decision as soon as possible."]

I chatted with Tang Song for a few more minutes.

Guo Liyuan quickly sent a message to the company's major shareholder, who was busy outside, and asked him to meet to discuss the financing in detail.

Based on her trust in Shen Yuyan and Xu Qing, she believed that Tang Song truly possessed investment capabilities.

When dealing with investors, one should naturally adopt a humble attitude and show the utmost sincerity.

Although the Ordinary People also engages in mainstream media agency business, most of its resources and funds are now invested in short dramas, and the company's cash flow is currently stretched thin.

For them, every penny is precious, and no matter how much Tang Song can invest, she is willing to give it her all.

Chengyuan Building, 29th floor, Juqing Huijin.

"Hi Luna, you have such a great figure, I'm so envious."

"Good afternoon, Luna. This is Ethan from the Trust Business Department."

"Hello, Luna! I'm Lin Bo from the Risk Control Department. You can just call me Ryan."

Lin Mu Xue sat in the staff dining area, enjoying the company's business lunch while occasionally greeting colleagues who came up to say hello.

Although this is only Yan City Branch, its internal organizational structure is very complete.

Many of the employees came from the Hong Kong headquarters, and there are also quite a few foreigners among them.

The company employees all have their own English names, and they rarely address each other by their job titles; they all use these names instead.

The atmosphere was also very harmonious.

As a senior assistant in the highest authority department of the trust, Lin Mu Xue's joining the company naturally attracted the attention of other employees.

During the lunch break, take the initiative to approach others, introduce yourself, and make friends.

Many people sat around her, chatting with her about the company and the local food.

Many of her colleagues initially spoke to her in English, but after realizing something was wrong, they switched to English on their own initiative.

Some of the foreigners spoke in a very awkward way, which made it difficult for her to understand them.

Fortunately, she has good emotional intelligence and is quick-witted, so we got along fairly well.

Lin Mu Xue appeared calm on the surface, but she was extremely nervous inside.

She had actually looked at these people's resumes that morning.

The team includes risk control professionals who were once audit managers at the Big Four accounting firms, and economic researchers who were once top-tier private equity analysts...

In short, each of them has quite a background.

And Xiao Xue? A junior college student majoring in "Air Steward/Stewardess" at Yan City Vocational and Technical College, she was formerly a print model and a former financial receptionist.

At that moment, she deeply understood what it meant for a "husky to infiltrate a wolf pack".

Fortunately, there was no specific business overlap between them.

Otherwise, she would definitely have revealed her true colors.

After finishing lunch, Lin Mu Xue politely said goodbye and returned to the Chairman's Office.

This is a huge suite with a lounge, a reception area, and an office area.

In addition, there is a small cubicle of about 10 square meters near the door, which is her office.

The entire structure is encased in frosted glass, and an exquisite nameplate hangs on the door.

[Senior Assistant to the Committee]

Stepping onto the soft, comfortable, and quiet carpet, and looking at the private office in front of her, Lin Mu Xue felt a surge of emotion.

Holding the cold doorknob, I gently pushed open the door.

In the bright and softly lit office, there's a smooth, mirror-like solid wood desk, a comfortable armchair, a small coffee table, and vibrant green plants...

Lin Mu Xue stepped onto the chair and sat down, excitedly spinning around.

The company's HR said they would collect her body measurements in the afternoon and customize an Ergonomic Chair according to her requirements.

She chose the materials, appearance, and patterns.

Touching the blue and white name tag around her neck, Lin Mu Xue gently lifted it up and looked at it again.

At the top is a passport photo that I carefully selected.

Below is my job information.

Employee Name: Luna (Lin Mu Xue)

Position: Senior Assistant to the Committee

Employee ID: 00227

Slover (HK) Trust

This is a typical foreign company, and its headquarters is an offshore Trust Company, so English is used in many places in the company, such as some work documents and materials.

Lin Mu Xue felt increasingly inadequate and constrained.

I'm also worried about losing this valuable job opportunity.

She studied "air stewardess" major, and English was actually a required course.

However, she didn't like studying much, and the school was terrible, so her academic level was mediocre, and her spoken English was even worse.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mu Xue nervously sent a message to the HR director. "June, this is my first time working in a foreign company, and I'd like to learn English systematically. Could you help me arrange some training?"

A moment later, a message popped up.

June: "OK, we have partnered training institutions. I'll contact them for you later. The company has a separate training room, so you don't need to go to an institution for classes."

Upon seeing the reply, Lin Mu Xue instantly beamed with joy.

As Senior Assistant to the Committee, she enjoyed many privileges.

For example, daily taxi fares can be fully reimbursed.

If it is a business trip, you can also enjoy business class and luxury hotel travel benefits.

Having worked in administration at Rongxin Venture Capital for a year, she naturally understood what these benefits meant.

Within the company, her compensation level should already be on par with that of senior executives.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu Xue's face flushed slightly.

She opened WeChat and left a message for Tang Song: "Mr. Tang, I've successfully started working and am currently working in a cubicle in the Chairman's Office. My colleagues are very friendly, and I get along very well. I really enjoy my job!"

"Buzzing—"

Tang Song: "I heard about it from Mr. Zhang. Good luck, Xiao Xue. By the way, I have some materials from a media company here. Could you please pass them on to the Risk Control Group in the company's Investment Strategy Department and have them check for any problems?"

Upon seeing Tang Song's message, Lin Mu Xue immediately lit up with a smile.

He quickly replied, "Received, I'll arrange it right away!"

This was a task personally assigned by the boss, making it the company's highest priority.

She doesn't really have any ambitions; she feels that things are fine as they are now, and she doesn't want to climb to a high position in the company.

My only worry is that my education and abilities are relatively poor, and I wonder if my colleagues will look down on me. I'm a little uneasy.

Now that Tang Song has entrusted her with the task of communication and coordination, she can use this opportunity to quickly integrate into the company and gain the respect of her colleagues.

"Ding-dong—"

WeChat group for high school classmates.

[He Xiaohui: "@Lin Mu Xue, we've arrived in Yancheng. Li Da took a day off to pick us up."]

[He Xiaohui: Group photo. jpg]

Lin Mu Xue clicked on the photo and looked at it; it was a group photo of the three of them at the exit of the station.

He Xiaohui's smile in the photo is exceptionally radiant.

[He Xiaohui: "I know you're very busy with your finance job, so let's get together at the restaurant next to your company tonight. Wenqiong will be there too, so it won't take up much of your time. You won't refuse this time, right?"]

Chen Si Yue: "I'll do a live stream when we meet. Netizens are super interested in you. Xiao Xue is the classmate who has changed the most."

Others in the group also joined in the commotion.

Lin Mu Xue scrolled up and saw hundreds of unread messages after not checking for two hours.

Chen Si Yue's "Classmate Blind Box" has successfully reconnected all these old classmates.

It also evoked everyone's memories of high school.

Lin Mu Xue smiled and calmly replied, "Okay."

Yan City Train Station.

"Good heavens! Xiao Xue finally sent the company address!" Chen Si Yue exclaimed, opening the map to check, "It's in Chengyuan Building in Huaxin District."

Li Da searched for "Chengyuan Building" and said excitedly, "It's not too far from our company, which is great."

He Xiaohui said with a grin, "When I see Xiao Xue, I want to ride in her Porsche 718."

On Lin Mu Xue's Douyin, the car that appears most often is a white 718, and she uploads videos and photos of it from time to time.

The three of them talked as they arrived at the Underground Parking Lot.

Li Da took out his car keys from his pocket and pressed a button.

Looking at the black Buick GL8 with its lights flashing in front of her, He Xiaohui exclaimed in surprise, "Li Da, is this your car?"

Li Da smiled smugly, "It's the company's reception car, but I'm a manager now, and I have a good relationship with the leaders, so I usually drive it whenever I want. Next time we go to Mu Xue's house to record a video, I'll drive you out in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class- Class."

He was just an insignificant supervisor in the branch's quality control department, but he had gone to great lengths to get the company's commercial vehicle to come out.

However, I ran into two female classmates from high school today, and they were both quite pretty, so I couldn't help but brag a little.

"Wow, Li Da is amazing!"

Chen Si Yue patted his arm, "When you drive out the Mercedes-Benz, I'll film a proper video of you and edit it into the Classmate Blind Box, highlighting your promising young talent!"

"Thank you, Siyue." Li Da said with beaming eyes, "Let's go, get in the car, let's take you to the hotel first."

Soon, the black Buick GL8 drove out of the train station.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Si Yue blinked and asked, "Li Da, are you pursuing Xiao Xue now?"

"Um... I guess so." Li Da's expression was a little unnatural.

Ever since he Lin Mu Xue at Starbucks, he felt like he'd lost his soul, and then he began a crazy pursuit.

However, this beautiful classmate was much more aloof than she was in high school, and she didn't respond to his advances at all.

They didn't even tell him his home or work address.

I can't send flowers or gifts.

"Then you might be disappointed." He Xiaohui, sitting in the back row, leaned forward. "The night before last, she told Siyue on WeChat that she now has a boyfriend and they even live together."

"Huh!?" Li Da exclaimed in surprise, "This... how could this be? I saw on Douyin that she's always single and living alone!"

"People say it's to keep a low profile, and her boyfriend doesn't want to be on camera or have his residence exposed online. The apartment she used to film the video is in the neighborhood next to her boyfriend's."

Chen Si Yue laughed and said, "Xiao Xue also said that she was willing to show her true self this time because we old classmates came to Yancheng. In other words, she is deliberately keeping a low profile on Douyin."

Upon hearing this, Li Da's expression turned grim. "Is that so..."

He had a crush on Lin Mu Xue since high school, and after meeting her this time, he was completely captivated. He had originally harbored some fantasies, but now it seems there's no hope for him.

He Xiaohui pursed her lips. "But I always felt that Xiao Xue was lying. She liked to lie in high school. She's a college student, and she claims to be a senior executive at a financial company. Anyway, I don't believe it. I guess that boyfriend of hers is probably fake too."

"Indeed, I'm also wondering how Xiao Xue got into the finance industry," Chen Si Yue nodded in agreement. "It's unbelievable."

Li Da was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up instantly, and hope was rekindled in his heart.

Sometimes, a girl being too outstanding can actually make people feel intimidated.

Looking at the bustling city outside the window, Chen Si Yue chuckled, "Anyway, we're going to meet tonight, and I'm really looking forward to it."

There are so many highlights in this video featuring Lin Mu Xue.

Even if her lies are exposed, it has nothing to do with her as a blogger; on the contrary, she can use this topic to continue to create hype.

After checking into a star-rated hotel in the city center.

The three of them had a simple meal at the Chinese restaurant downstairs.

After resting for a while, I changed my clothes and put on makeup.

Chen Si Yue officially began filming a video about Li Da's Classmate Blind Box.

The main conversation was about memories of the past and the present. Afterwards, we visited Li Da's Rental House and filmed a segment of his life.

All that's left is to film some clips of his work and life, write some script, and a video will be ready.

Besides Lin Mu Xue, Li Da is also a good point of interest during this trip to Yancheng.

He became the manager of a listed medical device company just one year after graduation, which is truly remarkable for someone so young.

6 p. m.

After finishing filming, the three picked up Mao Wenqiong, who was going to and from work, and headed to Chengyuan Building.

On a speeding Buick GL8.

He Xiaohui waved her Mobile Phone, her expression playful. "I've sent Xiao Xue several messages, but she hasn't replied. Do you think she might be feeling guilty and backing out at the last minute?"

Chen Si Yue, who was setting up the live streaming equipment, laughed and said, "It's not that bad, I've already agreed."

"I hope so."

He Xiaohui muttered something to herself and continued chatting in the classmate group, occasionally making sarcastic remarks about Lin Mu Xue.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, Lin Mu Xue ignored her no matter how many times she tagged the other person in the group chat.

He completely ignored her.

More than twenty minutes later.

The Buick GL8 slowly drove into the Chengyuan Building's ground-level parking lot and parked in an empty space.

Mao Wenqiong glanced at her Mobile Phone and looked up, saying, "Xiao Xue just messaged me, saying she's busy right now and will get off work at 7 pm."

"Oh~" He Xiaohui pouted, "Xiao Xue still remembers the unpleasantness between us when we were in school. She doesn't want to talk to me at all. She's so petty."

Mao Wenqiong smiled awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

She was a very ordinary person in high school, with an average personality, average looks, and similar relationships with everyone.

The university I attended and the job I found were both very ordinary.

The reason I came to Yancheng to develop my career is because my boyfriend from college was from here, although he was also a very mediocre person.

For classmates like her, blind box videos are not interesting at all, so Chen Si Yue had no intention of filming her.

I came along simply to have a meal and chat with a classmate I haven't seen in years.

He harbored no ill will toward his old classmate, Lin Mu Xue.

Chen Si Yue checked the time. "No rush, it'll only take about 10 minutes. I'll start my live stream to warm things up first. Wenqiong, tell Xiao Xue we'll wait for her in the lobby at 7 o'clock."

"OK."

He Xiaohui took the Action camera and said, "You focus on the live stream later, I'll shoot the footage!"

"OK, thank you for your hard work, Hui Hui."

After operating the system for a while, Chen Si Yue successfully started the live stream.

The high school students, who had received prior notice, immediately rushed in.

Soon, some of her fans joined in, and the number of people online quickly exceeded 300.

This data is already quite good for her.

After all, her fans are mostly video fans, and only a few of her previous live streams had more than 100 viewers.

"Good evening, everyone! Please give this a like, and if you haven't followed me yet, please do so. I'm currently filming a series of videos about Classmate Blind Box, it's super fun!"

"Yes, this live stream is about meeting Lin Mu Xue for the first time 6 years after graduation. She used to be a bad student in our class, but now she's a financially educated, Bai Fumei."

"Knowing everyone is interested, I'll start with a live stream to warm things up. Please look forward to the upcoming videos!"

Chen Si Yue enthusiastically introduced the upcoming live stream content, and the comment section was very lively.

"Two years after graduating from a vocational college, he became a senior executive at a financial company? I absolutely refuse to believe it! If it's true, I'll eat shit on live stream!"

"I watched Luna Xue's Douyin. She's really pretty, but she definitely lied about her work."

"I don't think it's impossible. What if they're lucky? I've met some people like that before."

Seeing the Bullet Comments and the increasing number of likes, Chen Si Yue beamed with joy.

He began to talk about his impressions of Lin Mu Xue from high school.

Since it was a live broadcast, she was very gentle and friendly when commenting on her old classmate.

In her description, Lin Mu Xue was beautiful, frugal, loved beauty, had poor academic performance, and once dreamed of becoming a flight attendant or model, yearning for a glamorous life.

She's the kind of real female classmate that everyone has encountered around them.

Her engaging narration instantly drew the audience in.

"I'm also really looking forward to seeing Xiao Xue emerge from her cocoon like a butterfly. It's almost 7 o'clock, let's go see this old classmate!"

"Hard tech Venture Capital is too difficult. The technology is becoming increasingly complex. For an analyst like me with a background in finance and law, there is so much to learn."

"I heard from Jason that Kate Trust will be sending a group of top-tier VCs over next month, supposedly because the company is about to make a major strategic adjustment."

"Hmm, like this Special Fund that was suddenly established this time. Luna, you're the committee assistant, you should know about this, right?"

Lin Mu Xue tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear and said softly with a smile, "Yes, I came here today for the operation of the Special Fund. I hope everyone will take Pinduoduo care of me in the future."

The group of people walked out of the office as they talked.

The conversation revolved around the newly appointed senior assistant.

Juqing Huijin offers a flexible work schedule with a two-hour lunch break. As long as the working hours exceed 7 hours on a given day, it is considered normal attendance.

The working hours for most employees in the Investment Strategy Department are from 10 a. m. to 7 p. m.

In order to complete the first task assigned by Tang Song as well as possible, Lin Mu Xue stayed with them until 7 p. m.

Although I couldn't understand what they were doing, I recorded it on my Mobile Phone and plan to listen to it several times tonight.

While waiting for the elevator, Lin Mu Xue gently opened her Hermès Birkin bag and took out her Mobile Phone to scan the contents.

[Li Da: "Mu Xue, are you off work?"]

Mao Wenqiong: "Xiao Xue, we're in the lobby of Chengyuan Building. You'll see us when you come out."

In addition, she received a lot of messages tagging her in our high school classmates' group chat.

Lin Mu Xue smiled faintly, replied to Mao Wenqiong with "Waiting for the elevator," and then put away her Mobile Phone.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened.

A group of more than 10 people went inside.

Most of them were employees dispatched to Yancheng by the trust headquarters, so they did not buy cars here.

I usually take a taxi to and from get off work, and the company fully reimburses me, which is very convenient.

Lin Mu Xue raised her head and looked straight ahead.

After a day working at Juqing Huijin and meeting these true financial elites, my mindset has unconsciously changed.

Facing his high school classmates whom he was about to meet again, he felt rather calm.

In the lobby.

Mao Wenqiong glanced at her Mobile Phone and whispered, "Xiao Xue is waiting for the elevator; she'll be down soon."

Chen Si Yue looked at the camera with a big smile, "Family members, my high school classmate Lin Mu Xue is about to appear. It's a long-awaited reunion, a transformation after 6 years. Welcome everyone to witness it with me."

Then, she flipped the live stream camera and pointed it towards the elevator shaft.

The live stream chat instantly became lively.

Li Da, who had been standing in the corner, quickly walked a few steps to the access control, put on a self-satisfied handsome smile, and thought he would greet Lin Mu Xue as soon as possible.

A soft "ding" sounded, and the elevator doors slowly slid open to both sides.

Immediately afterwards, a series of footsteps sounded, and a group of more than 10 people came out.

There were men and women, and quite a few foreigners among them.

Both were well-dressed and had an outstanding presence. The men were mostly dressed in well-fitting formal attire, while the women wore well-tailored office skirt suits.

They wore expressions that were either indifferent or focused, and carried bags in their hands.

They walked out through the access control.

With a steady gait and a composed, confident demeanor, he exudes a strong aura of elite status.

In the middle of the crowd was a woman wearing a high-waisted skirt.

With striking features, exquisite makeup, and a dignified and elegant demeanor, she stands out exceptionally.

She was surrounded by her colleagues, occasionally turning to exchange a few words, her gaze sharp and confident.

Li Da, who was standing to the side, was stunned and didn't dare to go up and speak.

The Lin Mu Xue who appeared before him at this moment gave him the feeling that she was unapproachable.

Chen Si Yue, who was speaking eloquently, stopped her touching speech and stared blankly at Lin Mu Xue in the crowd.

He Xiaohui's eyes widened, her mind reeling as if a torpedo had exploded.

You can still vaguely see the shadow of her high school self in her, but she has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The current Lin Mu Xue made her clearly feel that they were from completely different worlds.

Lin Mu Xue stopped in her tracks, pointed in Chen Si Yue's direction, and Wei Xiao as she said goodbye to her colleagues.

"Bye-bye, see you tomorrow." "Bye-bye, Luna." "Bye-bye~"

Amidst a chorus of warm farewells, Lin Mu Xue approached in her high heels.

He was dressed in high-fashion attire of exceptional quality, carrying a conspicuous Hermès Birkin bag.

Wearing high heels, she is nearly 180 centimeters tall, looking tall, sexy, and with a strong presence.

This instantly stunned the three old classmates on the other side, as well as the viewers in the live stream.

"Wenqiong, Siyue, He Xiaohui, it's been a long time." Lin Mu Xue calmly glanced at them, her expression serene.

I, the Emperor Mu Xue, have just attained enlightenment, and now I fear no one except Tang Song!

My Classmate Blind Box for over a month! It's time to give you a real shock!

The previously quiet live stream room instantly erupted in excitement.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

["Where's that netizen who said they wanted to eat shit? Come out here! Judging by their attitude, they definitely weren't lying!"]

"This is Lin Mu Xue? She's changed so much since high school!"

"So beautiful! Her figure is amazing! And her aura is incredible! I'm totally a fan!"

Chen Si Yue snapped out of her daze, opened her mouth, and said in a dry voice, "Xiao Xue, it's been a long time."

He Xiaohui gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word, her gaze darting around.

Seeing her former nemesis, who had bullied her, in such a state, Lin Mu Xue felt refreshed and invigorated.

"Xiao Xue, are you working for a foreign company now?" Mao Wenqiong swallowed and pointed to the employees of Juqing Huijin who were leaving one after another.

As those people passed by, she noticed that many of them were carrying briefcases and carrying name tags, and they were all speaking in English.

Lin Mu Xue Wei Xiao and nodded at her, "Yes, Slover Trust, a Trust Fund company located in Hong Kong."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Mao Wenqiong looked at her outstanding old classmate with amazement and envy.

Chen Si Yue let out a long breath and quickly forced herself to adjust her mindset.

Familiar yet unfamiliar high school classmates, chatting and laughing with a group of financial elites—that scene was truly shocking.

I checked the situation in the live stream.

The popularity is growing, with over 800 people online.

She adjusted the camera's position and asked somewhat nervously, "Xiao Xue, what is your current position?"

Lin Mu Xue smiled and showed off the exquisite blue and white employee badge in her hand.

"Senior Secretary of the Trust Committee, assisting the Committee in managing the Yancheng branch and Special Fund."

Then, she looked at the timid He Xiaohui, looking down at her heavily made-up face.

She chuckled lightly, "Xiao Hui, didn't you keep saying you wanted to see me? Why didn't you say a word when we met?"

"Long time no see, Xiao Xue." He Xiaohui's face flushed red, and she subconsciously looked away.
