Cherish Every Unexpected Encounter

"Mu Xue, sit here."

Zhang Yurong warmly pulled Lin Mu Xue to sit down on the sofa.

A brown armchair, a long wooden table, a subtle fragrance, soft music...

On the coffee table in front of me were layers of exquisite afternoon tea.

Upscale and tasteful, this is Lin Mu Xue's favorite environment.

But at this moment, she couldn't muster any interest in enjoying herself, and her gaze kept drifting to the side and ahead.

"Let me introduce you. This is a new friend I met recently, Lin Mu Xue. Mu Xue is Senior Assistant to the Committee of a Trust Company in Hong Kong, and she is currently working at the Yan City Branch."

"Hello everyone." Lin Mu Xue greeted everyone with a polite smile.

Next, Zhang Yurong began to introduce the identities of the other five people to Lin Mu Xue Yi Yi by one.

Today's business gathering was attended entirely by women.

Zhang Yurong has many outstanding women in her social circle thanks to her Yi Sha Beauty Salon.

They were all older than her, and their backgrounds were quite impressive.

There are company vice presidents, tech company co-founders, and bank account managers.

"This is Xie Shuyu, the owner of Glimmer Coffee. Glimmer Coffee has 8 stores in Yancheng, most of which are in the CBD. It is very powerful."

Upon hearing Zhang Yurong's introduction, Lin Mu Xue straightened up a bit and bravely met Xie Shuyu's gaze, "Hello, Mr. Xie."

"Hello, Mu Xue." Xie Shuyu appeared poised and confident, with a Ming Li smile on her face.

Her hair was tied up at the back of her head, and her slightly raised eyebrows exuded confidence and determination.

Beneath her high, straight nose, bright red lipstick added a touch of glamour.

The high-quality shirt accentuated her slender waist and firm, shapely breasts.

Her legs are incredibly beautiful, the kind of legs typically associated with Supermodel.

The lines are smooth, with slight muscle definition on the thighs and calves, straight and slender yet powerful.

Lin Mu Xue looked at her and subconsciously compared her to herself.

She was quite confident in her figure and appearance, thinking she wasn't much worse off.

However, when it comes to temperament and demeanor, I feel somewhat disappointed.

That elegant and resilient temperament is truly captivating.

She still remembers the scene of her standing on the stage with Tang Song.

Moreover, the two acted very intimately at the party.

Tang Song also paid close attention to this Mr. Xie, and their relationship was clearly more than just ordinary.

As Tang Song's assistant and casual sex partner, Lin Mu Xue naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Zhang Yurong didn't immediately pull her aside to discuss financing. Instead, she treated her to afternoon tea while sharing some skincare tips.

The atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant.

I don't know when.

"Boom!" The sound of thunder came from the thick clouds.

Raindrops pattered against the hotel's glass curtain wall.

The 22nd floor of the Lanfeng International Hotel the administrative office area and the Sales Department.

"Thump—" A stack of A4 papers was carelessly tossed onto the desk and scattered.

"Na Na, there are problems with the content, format, and layout of the client information you compiled. I'll send you a sample later, and you can reprint and bind it before sending it to me!" Zhang Zili, the head of the Banquet Sales Department, said in a slightly harsh tone.

Yu Qiuna quickly stood up, bent down to organize the sales report, and said somewhat nervously, "Okay, boss! I'm sorry!"

Although she didn't know what she had done wrong, she dared not contradict her direct supervisor to his face.

Zhang Zili hummed in agreement, then added, "Also, regarding the discount application you submitted to Chenghua Trade, the hotel costs need to be taken into account. I've already rejected the OA application. How about this, since you're still a new employee, let Qiu Wenze continue handling this client."

Yu Qiuna's expression changed, and she immediately said, "Boss, I developed this client from scratch. We're only negotiating some restaurant discounts right now, and we'll sign the contract soon!"

She has been with the company for almost two months, Chenghua Trade has placed her with its largest order, with a contract value of over 500,000 yuan.

Based on the tiered commission system, she can receive 3%, which is 15,000 yuan.

Moreover, this is a long-term cooperative client, and as long as she has this order, her promotion to a permanent position will be very smooth.

Colleagues from the surrounding departments all looked over.

Zhang Zili's gaze instantly turned cold, and he said in a flat tone, "Then you two can work together. Qiu Wenze joined the company six months earlier than you, so let him mentor you."

After saying that, he strode towards his office.

A buzz of discussion instantly filled the area where the Banquet Sales Department was located.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Yu Qiuna felt a surge of bitterness and disappointment.

Wang Linqing, her colleague next to her, nudged her arm and gave her a look.

Yu Qiuna quickly composed herself, stood up, and walked outside.

In the stairwell.

Wang Linqing took out a bottle of chewing gum from his pocket, opened the cap and poured it out. "Don't feel bad."

Yu Qiuna sighed, reached out and picked up a piece, and chewed it vigorously.

"You too, there are some things you shouldn't say to someone's face. I reckon Old Zhang is going to give you a hard time again."

"I just feel it's unfair. The clients I was assigned were all tough nuts to crack, and I finally managed to get one, so why should I give it to Qiu Wenze?"

"Just because his uncle is Director Zhao!"

Yu Qiuna pursed her lips and lowered her gaze.

Because he had an uncle who was the Purchasing Department manager, Qiu Wenze received preferential treatment in the company.

You can become an outstanding employee in your department by simply drinking water, slacking off, and skipping work every day. You also get high commissions and I heard you'll get a promotion at the end of the year.

Of course, this is just a minor issue for Lanfeng International.

As a luxury five-star hotel that has been established for more than 8 years.

Although it wasn't particularly dark or corrupt, the internal interests were complex and intertwined, and there were many corrupt elements within it.

More serious issues include purchase kickbacks, supplier price increases, and sales rebates...

Yu Qiuna had heard her colleagues discuss this many times.

The leaders may be aware of these issues, but as insiders, they are unlikely to disrupt this "harmonious and stable" ecosystem.

Wang Linqing shook his head and said, "Just accept it. Your current performance is good enough, so getting a permanent position shouldn't be a problem. Besides, there are unspoken rules everywhere. Lanfeng International is a big company after all, and it has Yunxi Real Estate behind it. Relatively speaking, there are more channels and opportunities for advancement."

Yu Qiuna sat on the steps of the stairwell and nodded helplessly. "I'll apologize to Director Zhang on WeChat later."

Fitting in is often just a helpless act, a behavior that the weak have to do in order to integrate into others.

As a regular salesperson on probation, Yu Qiuna had no choice, and she was also reluctant to give up this hard-won job.

Given the current economic climate, after leaving her job at the BMW 4S dealership, she finally managed to join Lanfeng International through a referral from her former colleague, Wang Linqing, and she cherishes the opportunity.

As a major landmark building in Yancheng, the fame and prestige of Lanfeng International Hotel are beyond doubt.

A luxurious five-star hotel that integrates guest rooms, catering, conferences, entertainment and leisure.

Located next to Metro Line 1 and adjacent to the city's main road, it boasts top-notch surrounding commercial facilities.

A positive work environment, comprehensive benefits package, ample career development opportunities, and a rich network of contacts...

These are advantages that she, as a salesperson, cannot resist.

Since we enjoy the benefits it brings, we must also bear the corresponding disadvantages.

For example, complex interpersonal relationships and internal competition.

"Ding-dong—" "Ding-dong—"

Their Mobile Phone rang at the same time.

Yu Qiuna snapped out of her reverie and picked it up to take a look.

He quickly stood up and exclaimed, "Our new boss is coming this afternoon! Chairman Yu is coming too!"

Then, with a touch of optimism, he added, "Lin Qing, do you think our new boss can revitalize the company? At least make our work fairer!"

Wang Linqing shrugged and smiled wryly, "Don't overthink it. These Big Boss are so high and mighty, how could they possibly care about how we little minions are doing? Even if a few High-ranking official are replaced, our situation won't change."

"Okay." Yu Qiuna breathed a sigh of relief and followed Wang Linqing back to her workstation.

The atmosphere in the office area changed completely at this moment.

Everyone perked up and focused intently.

Even the usually lazy few people with connections tidied up their desks and started typing away on their computers.

Yu Qiuna could sense that everyone was somewhat afraid of this new boss.

Even those "managers" and "directors" who are high above others have become extra cautious.

I heard that even the expense reimbursement applications in the OA system have decreased by a third.

The person who bought 80% of the shares of Lanfeng International Hotel from Yunxi Real Estate was an individual, not a company.

He is the company's major shareholder, actual controller, ultimate beneficiary, and Executive Director.

Their futures would be controlled by this new boss; their "life and death" would be entirely in his hands.

With a calm mind, Yu Qiuna began to reorganize the client information according to the format sent by Supervisor Zhang.

The content was simply rearranged in order, and the main changes were to the font size and layout.

She knew that Supervisor Zhang was deliberately trying to put her in a bad light; even if she submitted it as is, the other party would definitely pass it if they were going to.

A message suddenly popped up in WeChat group.

[Sun Tingting: "I'm greeting guests in the lobby, and our new boss has arrived! He drove a Bentley Continental! The car is so beautiful!"]

[Sun Tingting: "Wow, the boss is driving himself, he must be young. The car door is open! I'm going to see what the boss looks like!"]

The group chat instantly erupted in excitement.

Yu Qiuna also posted a few comments.

This mysterious new owner was Lanfeng International Hotel for the first time; the entire equity transaction was conducted with Yunxi Real Estate.

Only a few High-ranking official in the company knew the specific details.

So everyone is very curious.

However, Sun Tingting, the lobby greeter, did not reply, which made everyone in the small group very anxious.

After a while, a buzzing sound of discussion rose in the office area.

Yu Qiuna keenly noticed that the expressions of many of her colleagues around her had become quite interesting.

Sun Tingting: "Aaaaaaah!"

Sun Tingting: "I can't take it anymore, our new boss is a Male God!"

Large raindrops pounded the ground, splashing water droplets on the stone pavement outside the hotel.

The Lanfeng International Hotel appeared even more solemn and dignified in the rain.

A white Bentley Continental GT slowly drove up, the water spray kicked up by its wheels splashing in the rain.

The sleek lines of the car body exude elegance and prestige in the dim light.

Under the awning at the entrance.

A dozen or so formally dressed men and women gathered together, watching the Bentley slowly come to a stop.

A warm smile appeared on everyone's face.

"Click—" The driver's door slowly opened.

Wearing a black shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes, Tang Song stood up and calmly surveyed the crowd.

Confident and poised, with a composed demeanor, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Mr. Tang!"

Attorney Zhao Xingzhi from Quan Jing Law Firm was the first to greet us.

Yu Baohua, the former Executive Director and senior executive of Yunxi Real Estate, quickly stepped forward.

He first introduced himself, then said enthusiastically, "Chairman Tang's arrival is truly a pleasant surprise. I believe that under your leadership, the hotel will surely usher in an even more brilliant future."

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

Hotel General Manager Qiao Anji quickly stepped forward. "Hello, Chairman Tang, I am Qiao Anji, the hotel manager. On behalf of all the hotel staff, I warmly welcome you."

The executives behind him immediately bowed slightly, smiling and nodding enthusiastically in acknowledgment.

My gaze couldn't help but sweep over the new boss.

Although I already knew he was a 25-year-old, I didn't expect him to be so outstanding.

However, they are all seasoned elites in the hotel industry with excellent emotional control, so they naturally did not show any abnormality.

His eyes, however, revealed just the right amount of tension and shock.

With a faint smile on his face, Tang Song chatted briefly with everyone before being ushered into the magnificent hotel lobby.

The interior decoration is luxurious, elegant, and high-class.

Along the way, the greeters, waiters, and receptionists nearby cast respectful and shocked glances at us, and bowed their heads in greeting.

Tang Song nodded to them with a nonchalant air and walked gracefully and calmly through the bright hall.

Guests who happened to be passing by, sitting in the Rest Area, or checking in saw this scene and their eyes instantly showed amazement and surprise.

Upon learning that he was the hotel owner, his gaze instantly changed.

Several young women blushed and felt their hearts race, as if a scene from a TV drama had come to life.

The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor, and the group walked through the corridor into the hotel's executive office area.

A simple yet sophisticated interior design style.

The off-white walls paired with dark wood baseboards create a sense of calm yet elegance.

The floor was covered with a high-quality carpet, and footsteps landed silently on it.

The office area is spacious, bright, and well-organized.

Various green plants, equipment, and office furniture are interspersed among the desks and chairs, creating a very comfortable and cozy atmosphere.

It perfectly matches the style of a luxury five-star hotel.

As footsteps sounded, the staff all turned to look at them.

This group of people who came with Tang Song comprised all of the hotel's current senior management.

We've only ever gathered like this before, during the annual company meeting.

Yu Qiuna, who was sitting on the side of the corridor, also looked over. Her eyes trembled, and her gaze was full of astonishment and shock.

The customer data I had just printed slipped from my hand and fell to the ground with a "crash".

Yu Qiuna panicked and quickly bent down to pick it up.

However, it also attracted a lot of attention.

Yu Qiuna's chest heaved, but she couldn't help but take another look.

Unexpectedly, Tang Song eyes met.

She smirked, wondering if she was in a daze.

Although their facial features are similar, there is a noticeable difference in their body shape and overall demeanor.

He was surrounded by a group of High-ranking official and was wearing a very high-end suit, making him look distinguished and radiant.

It's highly likely that it's that Male God boss.

"Na Na?" A slightly surprised voice came through, and it was very pleasant to hear.

In an instant, the dozen or so people around also stopped and looked at the female employee sitting in the corner.

His eyes were full of curiosity and scrutiny.

The colleagues in the Sales Department office area were all startled and stared in disbelief.

Yu Qiuna jumped to her feet, her face flushed with excitement, and said nervously, "Mr. Tang... Chairman Tang! Hello! I didn't expect you to still remember me!"

Tang Song looked at the female employee in front of him with a bright smile. "Of course I remember. You work at the Lanfeng International Hotel now? When did you leave the BMW 4S store?"

As he spoke, Tang Song glanced at her a few times with some emotion.

She was in her early twenties, with medium-length hair, pretty features, and wearing a women's suit skirt, looking very energetic.

Although only three months have passed, things already feel a bit different.

When he completed the process of receiving his My First Car, BMW 330i, Yu Qiuna was the one who received him throughout the entire process.

The two have always been WeChat friends.

When she first picked up the car, she would ask from time to time if there were any problems with using the car and if she needed any help.

She even sent a special blessing for the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, because she posted too many negative things on her Moments, Tang Song blocked her and didn't know when she resigned.

Seeing Tang Song's warm and gentle attitude, Yu Qiuna trembled with excitement and her heart was pounding.

She lowered her head slightly, trying to remain calm, and said, "I resigned in May and had been working at Lanfeng International Hotel for over a month."

With the current boom in New Energy, business at BMW 4S stores is particularly bad.

She was eager to make money, so she simply quit her job. She originally wanted to apply for a sales position at a domestic new energy vehicle company.

Later, I was recommended here by my former colleague Wang Linqing, which can be considered a stroke of good luck.

"Then you can continue working. We'll chat again when we have time. Bye-bye." Tang Song smiled and nodded, continuing to walk inside.

They left with the group.

The office area was quiet for a while, then bursts of uncontrollable discussion broke out.

"Was that our new boss just now?"

"Based on the description given by Sister Lin at the lobby, it's definitely him!"

"Both Chairman Yu and President Qiao showed him such respect, so it must be true!"

"Na Na, do you know our boss?"

"When did you meet, Sister Na?"

"Yes, Qiuna, do you know who our boss is?"

Yu Qiuna stood at her workstation, her gaze sweeping over her colleagues in the department.

I saw apprehension and horror on their faces.

His emotions were running high, and the expression on his face was quite a sight.

She's not stupid; she naturally knows what it means to know the boss.

Even if she and Chairman Tang barely exchange a few words, they will still have all sorts of wild thoughts.

All the unfair treatment I experienced before will immediately disappear, and I reckon Manager Zhang will even proactively give me more business.

I never expected that my former client would become so outstanding and become the new owner of this five-star hotel.

The impact on her was indescribable.

Perhaps, Lanfeng International is truly about to be reborn.

5th floor, Guyi Business Club.

Zhang Yurong took a sip of the fragrant tea and suddenly asked, "Shu Yu, how's the recent fundraising for Glimmer Coffee going? Any new developments?"

Lin Mu Xue immediately perked up her ears and listened attentively.

Xie Shuyu was silent for a moment, then her determined eyes showed signs of fatigue. "We are currently in a stalemate, mainly because the other two shareholders are causing trouble."

Due to the risks involved, Tiancheng Capital's investment has been temporarily suspended, and the bank also needs to monitor and inspect the company's financial situation.

I'm here today to talk to Mr. Kong about the company's loan.

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon Kong Lixin, the bank executive.

Kong Lixin smiled and said softly, "Mr. Xie, we're old friends, so don't worry. I'll talk to the Risk Control Department later. As long as there aren't any major issues with Glimmer Coffee's operations, we'll wrap things up quickly here and won't interfere with your normal business."

"Thank you." Xie Shuyu's face showed gratitude.

However, he knew very well that Kong Lixin didn't want to get involved and was just giving perfunctory answers.

Lin Mu Xue listened quietly to their conversation, her eyes sparkling.

She naturally knew about this; besides the investment roadshow, her former colleague Gu Cheng had also mentioned it several times.

I heard that Tiancheng Capital is interested in investing.

What puzzled her most was why a big shot like Tang Song would accompany Xie Shuyu to a roadshow instead of directly investing in her company.

Could it be that he wants to play some romantic games with this Female President? To date her as an ordinary person?

Thinking of Tang Song's attitude at the banquet.

Lin Mu Xue lowered her gaze, a strong premonition in her heart that Tang Song would eventually invest in Glimmer Coffee.

I might end up having to participate in the due diligence myself.

A sense of melancholy and bitterness welled up in my heart.

The thunderstorm outside the window gradually subsided.

As afternoon tea drew to a close, everyone gradually left.

Zhang Yurong then led Lin Mu Xue to a casual tea room on the inside.

He took out a few cards from his bag and handed them over, saying sincerely, "Mu Xue, this is a diamond membership card for Yisha Beauty Industry, valid at all 6 locations, with a balance of 200,000 yuan in it. Feel free to come visit sometime. This is a shopping card for Fenghui Shopping Mall. A friend gave me a few before, but I don't need them. You live in Lanfeng International Apartment next door, right? Take these."

Looking at the cards in front of her, Lin Mu Xue's heart skipped a beat, and she squeezed the small legs of the table tightly together.

The diamond membership card at Yisha Beauty Industry requires a one-time deposit of 100,000 yuan to apply for, and offers many privileges and discounts, which she once longed for.

However, due to financial constraints in the past, she had always been a regular member, grabbing discounted packages on the Mini Program at specific times every day.

Located between the Lanfeng International Hotel and apartments, Fenghui Shopping Mall is a large shopping mall with a building area of 5,000 square meters, containing many luxury stores.

Each of these shopping cards is worth 10,000 yuan and can be used directly as cash.

Lin Mu Xue pinched her thigh hard and asked in a low voice, "Sister Yu Rong, what do you mean by this?"

Having navigated the complexities of society for so long, she naturally understands a simple truth: there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Zhang Yurong smiled and said softly, "To be honest, the beauty industry is developing rapidly. Yisha Beauty Industry can't wait much longer; we'll definitely be adding Light Medical Beauty Project."

Institutional investors don't value shops like ours. I've already contacted many individual investors, including some who are interested.

However, I think Zhao Yachian is the most reliable and the one I like best; I really want to collaborate with her.

Lin Mu Xue's eyes flickered, and she suddenly looked at her and said, "Sister Yu Rong, you think Qianqian very naive, right?"

Zhang Yurong's smile faltered for a moment, then she said naturally, "I admit that's a big part of the reason, but I meant no harm."

With her keen eye and experience, she could roughly figure out a person's character after only one or two encounters.

That's why he arranged to meet Lin Mu Xue alone, instead of Zhao Yachian.

Lin Mu Xue exhaled, her gaze sharp, and said, "Qianqian is not as simple as you think. The people behind her are even more shrewd, and her investments are not so easy to obtain."

"I know." Zhang Yurong nodded, and after a moment of silence, said, "If this matter can be accomplished, Mu Xue, your membership card will be upgraded to Shareholder Member. In addition to exclusive benefits and brand co-construction, you can also enjoy the beauty salon's profit dividends."

Lin Mu Xue was stunned for a moment, her heart pounding wildly.

Zhang Yurong realized that Qianqian trusted her and hoped to use her to influence Qianqian's decision-making and finalize the investment as soon as possible.

Moreover, she was very magnanimous, and her move was completely aimed at her weakness.

Moreover, she knew that Qianqian was backed by Juqing Huijin, and once she decided to invest, Yisha Beauty Industry would most likely take off.

Member shareholders! Annual dividends!

This is blatant temptation!

After a long while, Lin Mu Xue pushed the pile of cards back with difficulty, her voice a little hoarse, and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Yu Rong, I'm not that kind of person."

After saying that, she finally felt relieved.

For her, her work at Juqing Huijin is still the most important thing.

If she really couldn't resist the temptation and betrayed the beautician, how would Tang Song see her if he found out?

Zhang Yurong raised her eyebrows in surprise, took back the membership card, but kept the shopping card.

"You can keep these shopping cards; I really don't need them."

She glanced at her watch and smiled, "You can take your time to think about what I just said. You can contact me anytime. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now. The spa at this club is quite nice; I've already paid. You can stay and enjoy yourself for a while."

After saying that, she stood up and walked straight outside.

Looking at the four shopping cards on the table, Lin Mu Xue pursed her lips but still accepted them.

I walked out of the tea room with a heavy heart.

I found a quiet corner in the lobby and sat down on a comfortable single sofa.

I began to ponder, gazing at the gloomy sky outside the window.

Compared to a true Female President like Xie Shuyu, I am indeed far from being as good as she is.

Sometimes she looks down on herself, even though the shopping cards are only worth tens of thousands of yuan, she just can't bear to part with them.

Knowing there's a free spa, I thought it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a bargain.

No wonder Tang Song looked down on him.

As she thought about it, her head drooped lower and lower, and her nose started to sting.

Just then, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the business club.

The introduction was accompanied by a voice.

"Chairman Tang, this is the Guyi Business Club, located in the heart of the hotel. It boasts multiple meeting rooms of varying sizes, tea break rooms, and relaxation areas, equipped with state-of-the-art audio, projection, and video conferencing equipment... In addition, our catering service is also a major highlight..."

Lin Mu Xue turned her head and saw six or seven people walking towards her.

There were also many service staff following behind.

She blinked, staring blankly at Tang Song who had suddenly appeared.

Their eyes met, and her heart pounded. She quickly stuffed the shopping card into her bag and gripped it tightly with both hands.
