The Silver-Tongued Canary

Upon hearing that she was a staff member of Juqing Huijin, Zhao Yachian smiled politely and said, "Hello, Sister Lili, just call me Qianqian."

After she finished speaking, she extended her right hand and shook hands with the other person.

Lin Mu Xue brought her friends, and they said they were there to introduce her to connections, so she should have taken the initiative to befriend them.

She has made a lot of progress recently.

Especially after experiencing some big events, they have become more sensible in their interactions with others.

Sensing Zhao Yachian's kindness, Zhang Lili instantly relaxed and said with a smile, "Okay, Qianqian."

Chen Yue and Zhang Mengchu behind him looked dazed, their minds still reeling.

Zhang Lili, standing before me, possessed an outstanding presence. At 27 or 28 years old, she wore gold-rimmed glasses, exuding elegance, confidence, and poise—a quintessential image of a workplace elite.

They are from a completely different circle, and we don't usually have any contact with them.

The key point is that the other party was so respectful to Zhao Yachian, even using the formal "you" in their address.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the two...

Lin Mu Xue's confident and sharp gaze swept over the two people behind Zhao Yachian, finally settling on the older Zhang Mengchu.

Wei Xiao, she said, "This must be Teacher Zhang, right? I've always heard Qianqian praise you. Today I finally meet you in person. I'm Qianqian's best friend, Lin Mu Xue."

"Hello." Zhang Mengchu's eyebrows twitched, and she quickly greeted him, her tone very complicated.

This Lin Mu Xue gave her the impression that she was not simple.

He wore Vacheron Constantin worth over 200,000 yuan, dressed in designer clothes, and drove Mercedes-Benz S-Class worth over one million yuan.

Coupled with that confident and composed demeanor, he's definitely not an ordinary person.

Among her previous clients were some such individuals, all of whom were true socialites and Bai Fumei.

Zhang Mengchu glanced at the simple-minded Zhao Yachian beside her and gasped.

Qianqian, who was quite ordinary and even unremarkable in the training class except for her height and appearance, has become so unfamiliar!

What exactly did she go through in the past few months?

It seems that she might be serious about getting into the beauty industry.

And what exactly is this "trust" that Zhang Lili mentioned?

She has met far more people than Chen Yue, and has interacted with people from all walks of life.

One of my close customers is a senior financial executive at the bank.

I had also heard the other party mention "trust" as a product, so I had a general understanding of it.

Knowing that this is a high-end investment and wealth management method, many wealthy people in China set up Family Trust to ensure the inheritance of their wealth.

Just as she was lost in thought, Lin Mu Xue turned her gaze to Chen Yue again, "And who is this?"

Zhao Yachian introduced with a smile, "This is a friend I met in a beauty training class, Chen Yue."

Hello.

Their eyes met, and Chen Yue subconsciously looked away, not daring to look directly at the other person.

Feeling uneasy, I couldn't understand where Qianqian had met this friend who had such a strong presence.

Then he glanced enviously at the Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road.

Lin Mu Xue raised the corner of her eye and scanned the area up and down.

Immediately, a series of information appeared automatically in front of them.

The LV Flore Chain Bag, made of Monogram canvas and pink calfskin, with a floral clasp, retails for 11,100 yuan.

A COACH Coach leather midi skirt for women, priced under 2000 yuan.

The shoes and top are ordinary High-end Women's Clothing, of good quality, but it's impossible to tell the specific brand or price.

Overall, she's a young woman who doesn't have much money but loves to show off.

It's a bit like me when I first graduated.

Faced with the evolved Emperor Mu Xue now, I will naturally suppress him severely.

"Let's go, it's too hot outside. Let's get in the car and go eat." Lin Mu Xue clapped her hands lightly, signaling everyone to get in the car.

Zhang Lili opened the back door and said with a smile, "Qianqian, you sit in the passenger seat."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Lili."

They were all slim girls, and the spacious back row was not crowded at all for three people.

Chen Yue sat down in the soft, comfortable chair with a heavy heart, and immediately felt a cushion behind her back.

She quickly stood up and took out an exquisite bag from behind her.

Upon seeing the design clearly, her pupils dilated instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Hermès Birkin in black and silver?"

I saw Qianqian's Sakura pink Birkin before, and she said that she liked the black and silver color scheme the most.

This is indeed true.

This bag had always been her dream bag, and she never expected to actually see it in front of her.

So beautiful!

Lin Mu Xue, who had just gotten into the driver's seat, turned around and said, "Sorry, I forgot, it's my bag. Qianqian, we're quite in sync today, carrying the same bag."

As she spoke, she reached out and took the Birkin from Chen Yue's hand, gently tugging at it, but couldn't budge it.

Lin Mu Xue slightly opened her eyes and reminded, "Be careful, Yueyue, don't use too much force."

This is the most expensive bag she owns. She treasures it so much that she doesn't even dare to take it out when she goes shopping, for fear of bumping or damaging it.

Hearing her slightly serious words, Chen Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly let go of her hand, saying, "I'm sorry!"

I was so excited just now that I couldn't control my emotions.

Fortunately, her main job is as a beautician, not a nail technician.

Even a secondhand Birkin in this colorway would cost 160,000 yuan.

If it gets really damaged, my entrepreneurial dream will be shattered instantly!

Lin Mu Xue carefully placed her bag on the armrest, fastened her seatbelt, and started the car.

Soon, the silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class slowly started moving.

His gaze swept over the black and silver Birkin on the armrest, then over the Sakura pink one in Zhao Yachian's hand.

Chen Yue's heart pounded, and her head was buzzing.

She was skeptical and critical of Zhao Yachian's possession of Hermès.

But she really couldn't bring herself to have such thoughts about Lin Mu Xue, who possessed such an elegant demeanor.

Judging from this, the Zhao Yachian has in her hand is also genuine!

Overwhelmed by a profound sense of unreality, her vision blurred.

Sitting next to her, Zhang Lili glanced at Chen Yue's slightly trembling hand with surprise.

Immediately, he took out a paper invitation from his bag and handed it to Zhao Yachian in the passenger seat.

"This is an introduction to tonight's event. The organizer is the Yan Province Medical Beauty Association, and the association's executive vice president Wang Yu, is a friend of my mother. In addition to many beauty industry companies, there are also well-known experts and professors from the province's medical and aesthetic fields participating. This is a good starting point for you."

"Thank you, Sister Lili." Although Zhao Yachian didn't know about the Yan Province Medical Beauty Association, she knew it was no ordinary organization just from the name.

"You're welcome, it's no big deal for me."

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Mengchu, sitting next to Zhang Lili, widened her eyes instantly. "This... is this really an event organized by the Medical Aesthetics Association?"

Zhang Lili smiled and said, "Hehe, of course it's true. Does Teacher Zhang want to participate too?"

"Thump thump—" Zhang Mengchu's heart pounded violently, her mouth dry as she asked, "Can... can I participate too?"

As a teacher at Excellence Training, she naturally knew about this organization.

Basically, all the large beauty companies are members.

There are more than 50 vice presidents and above, all of whom are very famous figures.

It is both a resource integration platform and a leader in industry standards and norms.

Receiving an invitation from the Medical Aesthetics Association is considered an honor for beauty industry professionals, and it also allows them to build connections and expand their social circles.

If she can join the association and participate in a few activities, her future work and career development will be smooth sailing.

"Of course." Zhang Lili nodded readily.

Listening to their conversation, Lin Mu Xue, who was in the driver's seat, indulged in her little habit of showing off again.

Unable to suppress a smile, she said, "Lili is no ordinary person. Her mother is the deputy chief physician at the Provincial People's Hospital, and her father is a senior executive at a local bank. They are definitely local big shots in Yancheng."

In fact, Juqing Huijin is truly amazing.

Once inside, she discovered that everyone there was talented and spoke very pleasantly. Xiao Xue loved being there.

Now, besides memorizing vocabulary, I spend my days making friends.

Because of her special status, employees like Zhang Lili quickly became close to her and would often get together with her in private.

Zhang Lili covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's not a nice way to address you, but my family does have some connections. If Qianqian needs any help, just ask."

"Mmm." Zhao Yachian stuck out her tongue and smiled broadly.

She is a very simple person; she is happy when others show her kindness.

For example, Qian Lele gave me a delicious Croissant, and since I happened to have some lipstick that I didn't need, I gave her something in return.

"Uh..." Zhang Mengchu and Chen Yue licked their dry lips at the same time, and their heads lowered unconsciously.

I was surprised to see how polite Zhang Lili was, and how she even said she was an employee of some company. I never imagined her family was so powerful.

Hospital associate professors and bank executives have very high social status in the local area, and correspondingly, they also have very rich personal networks.

These are people they don't usually come into contact with.

The key point is that such a person was actually so polite to Qianqian.

So what exactly is Zhao Yachian's situation now?

However, the bus was crowded, and the two of them were too embarrassed to ask, so they could only sit nervously in the back.

Observing the expressions of the two people through the rearview mirror inside the car, Lin Mu Xue's hand on the steering wheel lightly skipped.

Looking at the wide and bright road ahead, I was in an extremely good mood.

The car stopped outside an upscale Western restaurant in the city center.

The restaurant boasts a spacious and comfortable layout, with exquisite crystal chandeliers, clean and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, pristine white tablecloths, elegant tableware and fresh flowers, and courteous and attentive service...

The details are handled very well.

The five people took their seats at the reserved dining table.

Zhang Mengchu and Chen Yue, sitting opposite each other, still looked somewhat unnatural.

The appetizers were served quickly.

Bread, Caesar salad, Spain salami...

Then came one main course after another.

French Foie Gras with caviar, beef stew in Burgundy, steak, lobster, spaghetti bolognese...

Zhao Yachian, who was on a diet, couldn't resist the temptation and began to eat heartily with a big smile.

It's okay to indulge in a meal once in a while; you can just eat less at night.

After all, her favorite food is steak!

After eating for a while, Zhao Yachian pulled Lin Mu Xue aside and started chatting with Zhang Mengchu.

It mainly concerns the current state of the beauty market, its size, and consumer demand.

She had previously commissioned a professional research institution to issue a report, which she had read carefully several times. This meeting was to ask all the questions that had been on her mind.

Then I discussed it with Xiao Xue and decided on a direction.

When we had almost finished eating.

Lin Mu Xue turned slightly to the side, elegantly opened her bag, took out a business card, and handed it over.

"Teacher Zhang, this is my contact information. We can add each other on WeChat."

Zhang Mengchu quickly and solemnly accepted the business card and glanced at the introduction on it.

[Lin Mu Xue, Senior Assistant to the Committee of Slover (HK) Trust...]

Although she had some knowledge, she was not clear about the internal positions in such financial institutions.

However, judging from the name, it's definitely not a simple company, and it's also a foreign company.

Chen Yue, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but glance at it sideways, and felt a sense of awe and wonder that he didn't understand.

At the same time, an overwhelming surge of envy and jealousy welled up within me.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Yue finally couldn't help but ask, "Qianqian, when you mentioned signing a trust agreement, were you referring to this company?"

The word "trust" reminded her of what Zhang Lili had said before.

Although she didn't understand these things, all the signs indicated that Zhao Yachian's change was definitely related to this company.

After all, Lin Mu Xue and Zhang Lili are both employees of this company.

This left her feeling uneasy, and she desperately wanted to know what had happened to Zhao Yachian.

Zhao Yachian nodded slightly, "Yes, it's this company. Didn't I tell you before that my boyfriend would help solve the funding problem?"

Chen Yue asked blankly, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Mengchu's eyelids twitched slightly. "This... I've heard of it. For wealthy people, trusts are a wealth management tool. It's also a form of investment management, but you can designate beneficiaries to receive investment returns. Qianqian, do you mean... your boyfriend designated you as a beneficiary?"

"Mm." Zhao Yachian nodded.

Lin Mu Xue, who was standing next to her, gently patted her thigh and said with a smile, "This Family Trust is used to protect Qianqian's future life and career."

Qianqian wants to work in the beauty industry and is currently conducting market research.

After that, our company will help her execute any of her ideas and provide ample financial resources.

However, Qianqian is still young and needs the help of a trustworthy industry professional.

Ms. Zhang, you used to be Qianqian's training teacher, and she had a very good impression of you. Are you interested in switching jobs?

After speaking, Lin Mu Xue calmly looked at the person opposite her.

Today, she drove her Mercedes-Benz S-Class and brought Zhang Lili along to support her beautician friend and showcase her skills.

If she wants to make a name for herself in the beauty industry, relying solely on her half-baked financial background is not enough.

In the future, we will definitely need to build an Assistant Team for Qianqian, and the first one to be chosen will be a professional like Zhang Mengchu.

Candidates need to have solid professional knowledge, a certain network of contacts, and be reliable and trustworthy.

During their conversation and interaction, she felt that this person was fairly reliable, which is why she extended the invitation.

She believed that any intelligent person would not refuse what they were showing off.

After hearing Lin Mu Xue's words, Zhang Mengchu's mouth went dry, and she picked up her water glass and took a big gulp.

His eyes flickered for a moment, then he nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I admire Qianqian too. Besides, I feel that I'm not really suited to stay in a training school; I still want to go out and explore."

Years of experience in society have honed her keen intuition and sharp insight.

Zhao Yachian and Lin Mu Xue were definitely not lying to her.

More importantly, the ability to set up Family Trust for his girlfriend represents a significant level of financial resources and influence.

Zhao Yachian excitedly held up the lemonade, "Teacher Zhang, thank you for your trust."

Zhang Mengchu quickly bumped hands with her, blushing, and said, "Just call me Meng Chu."

Listening to their conversation and seeing Zhang Mengchu's reaction, Chen Yue was completely dumbfounded.

My boyfriend set up a "Family Trust"? Who are the beneficiaries? Will it provide sufficient financial resources? Will it secure our future life and career?

What is all this?

She had so sincerely invited Zhang Mengchu to start a business with her before, and Zhang Mengchu refused almost without hesitation.

Throughout the conversation, she kept saying that she was very satisfied with her current job as a trainer.

Why do you suddenly want to go out and explore again?

Gritting her teeth, Chen Yue lowered her head, opened her Mobile Phone, and began searching.

Soon, a series of key pieces of information entered her mind.

Chen Yue's face grew paler and paler, and her hand holding the Mobile Phone trembled.

Family Trust is also a financial product, which means that the settlor entrusts a sum of money to a financial institution to manage the funds, and the resulting income is distributed to the beneficiaries (family members).

This fund allows for complete asset segregation, and many wealthy individuals, both domestically and internationally, use this method to safeguard the future of their families and children.

Becoming a beneficiary means receiving a continuous stream of income, even for a lifetime.

Qianqian's boyfriend... set up Family Trust for her? And listed her as the beneficiary?

Is the trustee Slover (HK) Trust? An offshore trust?

She raised her head and stared blankly at Zhao Yachian.

Exquisite makeup, luxurious fashion, dazzling accessories, and an expensive Hermès bag...

Then, the image of her boyfriend appeared in her mind.

Chen Yue's lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but her expression froze, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Her situation is actually quite similar to Zhao Yachian's. They are both beautiful and have good figures, but their families are of average means, and they did not go to university after graduating from high school.

Although Zhao Yachian is taller and has a better figure, she is also a bit slow and has poor emotional intelligence.

All things considered, Chen Yue didn't think she was that much worse off.

Selling herself for 8 months, she received 200,000...

Compared to Zhao Yachian, I felt so cheap and worthless.

In that instant, Chen Yue felt as if her heart had been pierced by a sharp blade.

She knew perfectly well that all of this was her own choice.

Some things, once done, are hard to get rid of.

I've stayed in five-star hotels, enjoyed luxury car chauffeured services, dined at upscale restaurants, and carried LV Bag ...

Desire had completely consumed her.

She never wanted to go back to her old, hard life, and it was difficult for her to settle down and become an ordinary beautician.

Even if she leaves President Guo, if Manager Li or President Wang want to take care of her in the future, she will still fall for him.

The so-called opening of a beauty salon is just a way for him to comfort himself after being abandoned by President Guo.

He fantasized about changing his life with this money.

But she knew that the chances of success were not high.

After all, she was only a newcomer to the industry for half a year, which is why she thought of bringing over Zhang Mengchu, a veteran.

Did I really do something wrong?

If I had been able to uphold my principles back then, would I have found happiness like Qianqian in the future?

Once regret arises, it's like a poison that seeps into your bones, impossible to get rid of.

Night slowly fell.

The Hilton Hotel in Chang'an District is brightly lit in its multi-functional activity center.

The "2023 Medical Beauty New Field Salon" is in full swing.

This was a medium-sized exchange event organized by the Yan Province Medical Beauty Association, which focused on in-depth discussions of the specific topic of "Light Medical Beauty Project".

The aim is to enhance understanding and cooperation among members and promote knowledge sharing and experience exchange.

After more than an hour of experience sharing and speeches, everyone flocked into the banquet hall.

They gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other or engaging in loud conversations.

Both men and women dressed formally and respectably.

Even Zhao Yachian and Lin Mu Xue changed into more business-style suits.

Accompanied by Zhang Lili, the three of them moved between various small groups and quickly exchanged a lot of contact information.

"Xiao Xue, I know Feng Yi Beauty and Hair Salon. They have a branch next to Yi Zi Beauty and Hair Salon. It was because the other party's business was too good and its reputation was too big that Yizi went bankrupt." Zhao Yachian couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she mentioned her first job.

"Don't worry, your business will be many times bigger than theirs in the future." Lin Mu Xue raised a glass of red wine and gently clinked it against hers, a smile playing on her lips. "Maybe in the future, your shop will even hire those former colleagues. That will be the real moment of triumph."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yachian's face lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but start daydreaming.

Back when she worked at Yizi Beauty, she was just a beauty assistant, helping Sister Li and the others with their tasks.

All her colleagues there were more senior than her.

If I can develop my career in the beauty industry in the future, I hope to meet those old colleagues again.

Hehe, this seems really fun!

As the two were talking in hushed tones, a mature female voice sounded from the side, "Hello, is it convenient for you to chat?"

The four turned around and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman around 40 years old.

She maintains a very good figure, neither too fat nor too thin.

Although she has some wrinkles on her face, her skin is in great condition, and she exudes a mature and charming beauty.

The group replied politely.

The beautiful woman gently handed over a few business cards and said with a smile, "I heard you are employees of an investment institution. Since you're here to attend a beauty industry exchange meeting, do you have any ideas about this field? Our company is currently transforming into a dual-beauty business; you might want to learn more."

Zhao Yachian quickly reached out and took the business card, glancing at it.

[Zhang Yurong, General Manager Yisha Beauty Industry...]

Upon seeing the familiar name, Zhao Yachian's eyes widened instantly.

Is this my former boss?

Although I've never met him in person, his name is definitely that.

When she was still in the company's group chat, she often saw this Mr. Zhang assigning tasks and occasionally sending out small red envelopes.

I never expected to run into you face to face today!

Lin Mu Xue, who was standing next to Zhang Yurong, was also taken aback and looked at Zhang Yurong in surprise.

After all, she was a member of the Yi Sha Beauty Salon, and it was there that she met her good friend Zhao Yachian, which changed the course of her life.

The three people involved met at a Salon event, and she and Zhao Yachian were the investors who were approached.

This unique experience inexplicably touched her.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhao Yachian beside her.

This beautician friend must feel this even more deeply.

Fenda International Hotel, in the independent office area.

"Ding! Congratulations, player! The third task of the [Partner - Zhao Yachian] Cultivation Plan Mission, [The Canary's Ambition], has been completed."

"[Partner - Zhao Yachian] Growth Progress +10%".

"[Partner - Zhao Yachian] Comprehension +1."

"[Partner - Zhao Yachian] has obtained [Canary's Skill Pack *1]".

Tang Song stopped what he was doing, his eyes filled with joy.

Congratulations! Qianqian's mission ③ is finally complete!

Open the System Interface and go to the [Partner] module.

In the very center of the character card for [Zhao Yachian], a golden gift bag floats quietly.

Select "Canary's Skill Pack" to open it immediately.

"Ding! [Partner - Zhao Yachian] has obtained the skill reward [Eloquent Tongue]."

[Eloquent Tongue]: An active skill that greatly enhances Partner's tongue's flexibility, strength, control, and perception, allowing it to easily extend and bend in all directions and coordinate with the muscles of other parts of the mouth, enabling the Partner to better express their love.

Immediately afterwards, the System Light Screen flickered, and Zhao Yachian's portrait shimmered with a faint light.

An anime-style beautician appeared on the screen.

Holding a crystal-clear wine glass in her hand, she first winked at him, then stuck out her rosy tongue.

She performed several difficult tongue-rolling and licking movements in succession, her beautiful little tongue possessing boundless spirituality, as if she were doing tongue yoga.

Her demeanor was alluring and seductive, brimming with an indescribable charm.

"Take off!"

Tang Song stood up from his office chair and went to the floor-to-ceiling window.

His eyes sparkled with barely suppressed excitement.

Qianqian is in for a treat!
