After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three were warmly invited by the organizers to sit in the front row.

Lin Mu Xue maintained a faint smile throughout, her demeanor perfectly poised, though she was secretly overjoyed.

I wish I could do an English reading comprehension exercise right there and then.

Xiao Xue has lived for so many years, and this period is definitely the most spirited time of her life.

All her colleagues at the company were very polite to her, and Tang Song, the boss, didn't really care about her.

He is surrounded by business elites, drives a 2 million Porsche 911, and wears luxury goods. He is the envy of others wherever he goes.

The life she had always dreamed of had come true, and it was even more wonderful than she had imagined.

It's impossible not to feel inflated.

She can't afford to offend Qianqian and Wen Ruan, who are Tang Song's Official Girlfriend, but it's not a problem for her to make a name for herself with Shen Yuyan, who is clearly a potential rival.

According to the information she obtained from Xu Qing, Shen Yuyan was once the campus belle of Yan City University of Science and Technology.

However, her relationship with Tang Song was not close.

That's why she dared to come over and show off so brazenly, trying to put the other person down.

Recalling Shen Yuyan's expression and gaze just now, Lin Mu Xue gently rubbed her legs, feeling exceptionally excited and joyful.

The Innovation-Finance Connection Event soon officially commence.

Because it was a small-scale event, the atmosphere was very relaxed and casual.

The entire venue was more like an art restaurant, with guests sitting on sofas and serving wine, fruit and other refreshments in front of them.

"The Yancheng Entrepreneurship and Employment Incubation Base has always been a strong support for entrepreneurs, providing them with comprehensive support..."

"We focus on the financial market of Yan Province, providing you with the latest financial policies and investment trends..."

Base manager Li Shutong stood on the stage and delivered his opening remarks with great enthusiasm.

Then, the focus shifted to introducing several distinguished Guest were present.

"Besides local investment companies like Tiancheng Capital, we are also honored to have invited a global financial company like Slover Trust!" Li Shutong smiled and gestured towards the first row of the audience, introducing, "And Ms. Lin Mu Xue, the Senior Assistant to the Committee, and Katia, the risk control director, are also present in person."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mu Xue, dressed in a well-fitting business suit, stood up gracefully and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Clap clap clap—" Enthusiastic applause rang out in the hall.

This event was a non-commercial exchange meeting hosted by the entrepreneurship and employment base.

Apart from Tiancheng Capital, the co-organizer, the other companies sent non-core executives, at most a director or investment manager of a client department.

That's why Lin Mu Xue and the others received such great respect and courtesy from the organizers.

The discussion in the audience was also about Slover Trust.

This global foreign-invested Trust Company, headquartered in Hong Kong, boasts an elite team comprised of senior trust experts, financial analysts, Legal Consultant, and tax consultants. Members come from firms such Kate Fund and Jingwu Capital ...

Listening to the complex discussions around him, and looking at the dazzling Lin Mu Xue in front of him.

Sitting in the back, Shen Yuyan always had Qian Qian smile on her face, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

When I first formally learned about Fanfu Suzi Media, I didn't have much of a feeling about it.

After all, Lin Mu Xue was relatively low-key and reserved at the time. Apart from her deliberately displayed elite temperament and luxury clothing, she did not have a particularly strong presence.

But this time when they met, the other person had obviously changed.

It seems that... it has expanded a lot and gained more confidence.

The people he had been carefully and diligently trying to build connections with were now all trying to befriend Lin Mu Xue in the same way.

This also illustrates the difference in power and status between her and Lin Mu Xue.

She had always been a proud and ambitious person, and the huge gap between her expectations and reality made her feel terrible.

However, I can understand that I am just an ordinary entrepreneur trying to raise funds.

Lin Mu Xue is Trust Company backed by international capital, and she is accompanied by a foreigner from the Kate Fund.

The fourth largest shareholder of the Fortune 500 company she previously worked for was the Kate Fund, so she naturally knew the other party's significance.

What these people present were really interested in was the top-tier capital consortium behind Slover Trust.

The ecosystem, interest chain, and energy represented behind this are what they crave and look up to.

Thinking of the mockery and cold treatment she had just received at the venue, and looking at Lin Mu Xue who was now enjoying immense success.

Shen Yuyan's heart was filled with complex and unfathomable emotions, and she felt as if she could hardly breathe.

The exchange continued, with microphones occasionally being handed to some Guest in the audience to boast.

Shen Yuyan had no interest in listening to what they were saying, and only occasionally clapped along.

8 PM.

After the Guest speaker session, we began the free discussion phase.

Lin Mu Xue turned slightly to Zhao Chengjun beside her and whispered, "Director Zhao, the main reason I came here today is to talk to you about Glimmer Coffee. Is now a convenient time?"

Zhao Chengjun raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Of course it's convenient."

After a brief exchange, the two quickly sat down in a meeting area by the window.

Seeing this, the others wisely refrained from disturbing them.

Lin Mu Xue sat up straight and began asking about the due diligence information that Tiancheng Capital had conducted on Glimmer Coffee.

I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

She used to work at Rongxin Venture Capital and even greeted Zhao Chengjun at the registration desk of their investment roadshow.

Back then, she was just a little Karami, but now she can stand on equal footing with him.

The wonderful sensation made her feel incredibly happy.

Since Tiancheng Capital's Investment Committee has abandoned the Glimmer Coffee project, Zhao Chengjun appeared quite unfazed.

The Yi Yi elaborates on the internal disputes within Glimmer Coffee, the risks to its Capital Chain, and their considerations.

Towards the end of the conversation, Zhao Chengjun said sincerely and earnestly, "Of course, besides these risks, some market changes have also led to a lack of confidence in Glimmer Coffee. For example, Luckin has just topped the domestic market, the rapid expansion of leading brands has made prime locations increasingly scarce, and rent costs are rising..."

Although Lin Mu Xue didn't quite understand it, she tried her best to remember it.

When she chatted with Tang Song later, these were all proof of her hard work.

After exchanging contact information, Lin Mu Xue stood up contentedly.

His sharp gaze swept across the venue and he quickly spotted Shen Yuyan sitting there.

She wore a warm and comforting smile, and was surrounded by several men.

A pure and sweet temperament, a light and graceful figure, a well-proportioned and toned body, and healthy, milky skin.

It must be said, she is indeed a great beauty.

She's like the fresh and refined first love goddess on campus, yet also possesses a mature and dignified air.

It is very attractive to men.

Lin Mu Xue smiled and walked over.

Noticing the approaching figure, Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, and a warm and generous smile instantly bloomed on her face.

He stood up and affectionately took Lin Mu Xue's arm. "Xiao Xue, I really didn't expect to run into you here. I'm so lucky today. I've been thinking of treating you to dinner, but as you know, I run a startup and I'm always incredibly busy."

Then, she began to inquire about Lin Mu Xue's recent life and work situation.

His tone was sincere, as if he were speaking to a longtime friend.

This situation made Lin Mu Xue feel a little uncomfortable. As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, so she could only smile and reply a few words.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Hou Shaoyuan next to him, had a flicker in his eyes and stood up abruptly.

He said politely and warmly, "Let's sit down and talk. Madam Lin, please sit here! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Hou Shaoyuan, Yuyan's good friend and business partner. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Thank you." Lin Mu Xue nodded slightly and gracefully sat down in her seat.

Her long, straight legs were slightly tilted, revealing her sexy waistline.

She possesses both a noble and aloof demeanor and a strong sexual allure.

She instantly replaced Shen Yuyan as the focus of the small circle, attracting many people to gather around.

Then came a constant stream of self-introductions and attempts to strike up a conversation.

"Hello Madam Lin, I am Li Mingqi from Juchuang Culture."

"Hello, this is from Tengju Venture Capital..."

Lin Mu Xue maintained a polite Wei Xiao and responded to them calmly.

Soon, the conversation began to revolve around her.

Lin Mu Xue had studied diligently at Juqing Huijin and had recently read many company research reports.

She spoke about the recent volatility in global financial markets and the impact of using AI and big data analytics to optimize risk management models.

Although it's all just empty talk, she speaks eloquently and occasionally throws in professional English terms, giving her a sophisticated air.

It must be said that Xiao Xue has an exceptional talent for putting on an act.

Everyone around her was very accommodating, simply agreeing with her topic, which made Lin Mu Xue even more composed.

She tried her best to maintain her composure.

When you encounter something you don't understand, just stay silent, lower your head, and drink water.

So classy! So classy! So classy!

I'll say it three times because it's important!

She called her friends and came all this way just to show off and impress Shen Yuyan, didn't she?

You must maintain a proper air about yourself!

Hou Shaoyuan, standing to the side, felt that Lin Mu Xue had an exceptionally high level of sophistication.

A typical Financially Savvy Bai Fumei —simply perfect!

Moreover, upon closer inspection, one can better appreciate her unique charm.

Both her looks and figure are top-notch, no less than Shen Yuyan's.

Of course, the most important factor is the advantage brought by her status and position. She is a typical unattainable beauty, which arouses people's desire to conquer and peek into her.

Thinking of this, his heart burned with excitement.

Shen Yuyan clenched her fists tightly, once again feeling the immense sense of loss.

Both women gained fame through their beauty and eloquence, yet received completely different treatment.

The female leaders who had previously mocked her are now nodding and flattering her, and their words are exceptionally pleasant to hear.

However, on the surface, she still smiled and even echoed his words.

She is a very realistic person, and at least in this situation, she will maintain the proper demeanor when facing Lin Mu Xue.

After all, the gap between the two sides is quite obvious.

9 p. m.

Katia and Zhang Lili had already left.

The exchange meeting was gradually coming to an end.

Surrounded by the organizers and others, Lin Mu Xue walked out of the venue.

He glanced at Shen Yuyan behind him.

Lin Mu Xue offered, "Why don't you ride back in my car?"

Shen Yuyan paused for a moment, then said, "No need, I live in Yuhua District, which is a bit far from Lanfeng International Apartment."

"Hehe, okay then, let's meet again when we have time." Lin Mu Xue shook her head, strolled over to the Porsche 911, and elegantly grasped the door handle.

The headlights flashed, and the vehicle was unlocked.

Next, he took a pair of flat shoes from the front trunk and changed out of his high heels.

Under the lights, her full hips and slender waist outlined an incredibly alluring curve.

The exposed section of her calf was fair and slender, radiating a faint, lustrous sheen.

With the Porsche 911 as its centerpiece, it attracted a lot of intense attention.

Hou Shaoyuan, who was standing next to Shen Yuyan, took a deep breath, unable to suppress the restlessness in his heart Hou Shaoyuan.

He took the initiative and said, "Mu Xue, it's a pleasure to meet such an excellent friend like you. Would it be convenient to add each WeChat? You can add me when you get together later." Lin Mu Xue raised an eyebrow and glanced at him with a smile in her eyes. "You can ask Yuyan for my WeChat contact later."

She has high emotional intelligence and could naturally see that Hou Shaoyuan Shen Yuyan, and the two were also business partners.

Now, influenced by his own charm, he has directly turned against them.

How interesting!

After saying that, he opened the car door and got in.

Hou Shaoyuan was left looking embarrassed.

"Boom!" The matrix headlights lit up.

The sound of tires screeching against the ground filled the air as the Porsche 911 slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Upbeat pop music filled the train carriage.

Lin Mu Xue gripped the steering wheel, her eyes growing brighter and more confident.

While she gained many things, she also occasionally felt a deep, unspeakable fear.

Unlike her, who has a college degree and has worked as a freelance model and receptionist, this "Fake Socialite" is different.

Outstanding and independent women like Xie Shuyu and Shen Yuyan, who started their own businesses, are truly capable.

His actual abilities are definitely much stronger than hers.

She was terrified that one day her position would be taken by someone else, after all, she wasn't Tang Song's girlfriend.

The more you get, the more afraid you become.

That's why they were so eager to suppress Shen Yuyan.

Besides the hormones released from showing off, it also increases one's sense of security and self-confidence.

Lin Mu Xue let out a long breath and gently pressed the accelerator.

Listening to the roar of the engine, I let myself immerse myself in the thrill of the moment.

Beicheng Garden Residential Area.

"Yuyan, you don't seem to be feeling well right now. Is something wrong?"

"It's probably because you drank some alcohol on an empty stomach last night. It's nothing serious, just go home and rest."

"Should I buy you some medicine...?"

Shen Yuyan smiled and gently shook her head, saying, "No need, I have stomach medicine at home. Goodbye, take care on the road."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the building entrance.

Standing in the empty elevator, Shen Yuyan lowered her gaze and pursed her lips.

Thinking about what happened today, I feel a strong sense of frustration and disappointment.

Having fallen into the trap set by Gongying Technology, they are constrained at every turn, and the expansion of new customers is extremely difficult, making the future uncertain.

Correspondingly, Guo Liyuan's "Ordinary People" has already begun preparing to film five short dramas, which are in full swing.

I was provoked by Lin Mu Xue again today.

I'm completely devastated.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened.

Shen Yuyan stood in the hallway for a while in a daze, then suddenly took out her Mobile Phone from her bag and opened WeChat.

After scrolling for a while, I opened Tang Song's chat box.

After thinking for a moment, I left a message: "Tang Song, are you still busy lately? Being busy for so long must be making you feel stressed, right? If you have anything bothering you, you can tell me, even if it's just venting. (#playful)"

After sending the message, Shen Yuyan chuckled self-deprecatingly and muttered, "Simp!"

Her lips were slightly downturned, she was biting her lip hard, and her eyes were wide open.

To prevent myself from bursting into tears.

"Phew—" She exhaled and took out her keys to open the door.

I changed into slippers, walked into the living room, plopped down on the sofa, and leaned back lazily.

Staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Ding-dong—" WeChat notification sound suddenly rang out.

Shen Yuyan's body jolted, and she quickly sat up and took out her Mobile Phone.

Tang Song: "I'm mostly done with work these past few days. I've been dealing with company business. There's nothing unpleasant about it, but I do have something I'd like to ask you about and get your opinion on."

"Thump—thump—"

Shen Yuyan's lips trembled, and she gripped her Mobile Phone very tightly.

He replied to my message so quickly!? And with such a long reply!

Clicking the input box, I quickly replied, "Hey! Finally finished! You want to consult me? Then I'll have to do my best to help you! (#Strive)"

Then, another emoji was sent.

Shen Yuyan's face gradually flushed.

Now they're starting to pay attention to me again, aren't they?

In any case, Tang Song did not truly fall out with her.

At most, my replies on WeChat are sometimes a bit slow and shorter.

But they remain friends, and they also have alumni ties.

Compared to those ruthless capitalists and sarcastic bitches outside, Tang Song is quite lovable.

Shen Yuyan then engaged in self-pity for a while.

The heart, which had been "broken" by the cold violence of the Tang Song, has been revitalized.

"Buzzing—"

[Tang Song: "I'm planning to go back to my hometown in a few days to bring some gifts for my parents. Do you have any recommendations?"]

Shen Yuyan softly and immediately replied, "Such an important matter! I must think about it carefully. How old are your parents? What are their hobbies?"

"Tap tap tap—" The sound of fingers tapping on the screen echoed continuously in the quiet living room.

As Shen Yuyan read Tang Song Song's replies, she felt lightheaded.

Tang Song, who was so sarcastic just a few days ago, has suddenly become so easy to talk to!

He also talked to me about his parents' situation.

She was somewhat flattered.

They chatted on and off for quite a while, and Shen Yuyan's mood completely recovered.

He left a message with a smile, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll make a recommendation list for you later, you can take a look."

[Tang Song: Thank you. gif]

Seeing the emoji sent by Tang Song, Shen Yuyan chuckled and a bright smile appeared on her face.

She finally realized that Tang Song had really been busy recently, and that she had completely misunderstood.

Luckily, I took the initiative to send him a message today, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to offer him advice.

Just then, a clear voice rang out. "Hey! Yan Yan, when did you get back?"

"Ta-da!" Xu Qing trotted into the living room, grinning, "Look at this Cat Girl Cosplay Outfit I just bought! Isn't it pretty? And this Masked Scar Makeup, isn't it cool!"

(^U^)ノ~YO

With her playful movements, the cat ears on her head bounced, her lace skirt fluttered, and the cat tail with bells behind her made a crisp sound.

She looks both cute and sexy.

"Hehe! I snagged this deal in the group chat, the whole set was only 200 yuan!"

As she spoke, Xu Qing threw herself into Shen Yuyan's arms and rubbed her face against her chest.

Raising her head, she mimicked a well-behaved Cat Girl and said sweetly, "Thank you so much Yan Yan, for helping me with the Equity Incentive plan. I'll definitely pay you back double! Meow~~"

She only had 80,000 yuan in savings, and her family had just moved to a new house last year, so they didn't have much money to spare.

Fortunately, I have a good best friend who not only helped me get 2% of the shares, but also gave me money.

Xu Qing, a penny-pincher, was deeply moved.

Her cosplay outfit just arrived today, and she specially dressed up as Cat Girl to show her gratitude to her best friend.

"I'll pay double, but you can wash my underwear and socks for a month, and oh right, cook for me for a month too."

"No! I was just cosplaying. Do you really think I'm Cat Girl maid?" Xu Qing shook her head vigorously, pouting.

Upon hearing her words, Shen Yuyan blinked and suddenly grabbed Xu Qing's chin.

Seeing her adorable and innocent outfit, my heart skipped a beat.

After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "How about this, you play the role of Cat Girl, and I'll film a short video of you, so you won't have to do the hard work."

Xu Qing: (O_o)

"Huh~, what's this short video? It sounds so scary, I don't want to~~"

"Then you'll obediently serve me for a month, Qing Qing. I'm going to give you three or four hundred thousand yuan! That's all money I earned through hard work!"

"This..."

Shen Yuyan pinched her cheek. "Hurry up, don't you always claim to be a professional cosplayer? Let me see your skills."

Xu Qing's dark eyes darted around.

Suddenly, she sat down on the floor, clutching her chest with both hands, and said pitifully, "My lady, are you going to sell me to someone else? No!!"

Shen Yuyan's eye twitched. This best friend of hers was really interesting.

He looked so reluctant just a moment ago, but now he's gotten into character so quickly.

Shen Yuyan picked up her Mobile Phone and pressed the shutter button. "Qing Qing, from now on, all the housework will be yours. If you don't do it well, I'll keep hitting you."

Xu Qing placed her hands on her knees, looking aggrieved, and said, "Please, Master, don't hit me anymore. I will try my best to complete the mission, meow meow meow~~."

Her cute and pretty appearance, immersive performance, and the added makeup of scars make her look particularly interesting.

Yanjing Sky City, large single-level apartment.

"Okay, Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I'm a very good driver now, and I'll have no problem driving on the highway."

"The car? Haha, you'll see when we get back."

"I'll leave as soon as I'm done here, don't worry."

"Okay, you and Dad should go to bed early."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song leaned back in his chair, stretched, and smiled broadly.

Ever since they heard that I was going back, my parents have been extra concerned.

My mom, in particular, has called me several times in the past two days.

They were clearly very happy.

"Ding-dong—" WeChat notification sound suddenly rang out.

I picked up my Mobile Phone and glanced at it.

Shen Yuyan: "Tang Song, I forgot to tell you, my family just adopted a stray cat that can cook. When are you coming to North City Garden to play? I'll have it cook you something delicious."

Upon seeing this message, Tang Song replied with a smile, "Are there really such magical cats? Let me see!"

Although he said that, he knew very well that School Beauty Shen was getting impatient and wanted to get closer to him quickly.

The so-called stray cat is just a joke.

It's roughly equivalent to "My cat can do backflips".

He remembered seeing an anime called "The Cat That Can Do Housework" before, which was probably her source of inspiration.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone vibrated.

[Shen Yuyan: Cat. video]

Tang Song was slightly taken aback when he saw that the other party had actually sent a video, and then clicked play.

Then, a "kitten" actually appeared in the picture.

A strange heat surged in Tang Song's heart.

Boys are also very kind-hearted. For example, he really wanted to adopt this poor little cat that was being bullied by its owner.
