Charm 70, Ten-Billion Private Equity Fund

6 p. m.

"Goodbye! Have a great night!"

"Bye!" "See you!"

After greeting her colleagues, Lin Mu Xue picked up her bag and hummed a song as she quickly went downstairs.

Her Prada shoes made a "clattering" sound as she stepped on them.

Upon arriving at the garage, looking at her gleaming Porsche 911, Lin Mu Xue couldn't help but reach out and touch the rearview mirror.

I opened the car door and got in.

After thinking for a moment, I took out my Mobile Phone and snapped a few beautiful selfies.

Share directly to Moments, visible to everyone.

The tagline is. "Live in a state that you like."

Smiling, he placed his Mobile Phone on the holder and started the car.

A matte gray Porsche 911 drove out of the underground garage, its clear glass windows reflecting the magnificent sunset on the horizon, before merging into the busy traffic.

The weather is perfect, cool and pleasant.

Lin Mu Xue lowered the car window slightly, leaned back relaxed, and drove with one hand.

The matte gray paint shimmered with a delicate sheen under the orange sunlight.

The evening breeze lifted her hair, adding to her gentle beauty.

During rush hour, the roads are extremely congested, with frequent stops and starts.

Occasionally, a car would slow down beside her and take pictures of the beautiful woman in the suit inside the 911.

Some bolder individuals even rolled down their car windows and held up their Mobile Phone to add each other on WeChat.

Lin Mu Xue wore a faint smile, continuing to listen to music and drive, seemingly completely ignoring them.

At this moment, no one could spoil her good mood.

My mind is filled with the Tang Song line, "I love you too."

This wasn't some flirtatious remark he made in bed; it was something he genuinely said to her.

Regardless of how much of it is true and how much is false, she is willing to treat it as true.

As people accumulate experience and move up in social circles, they will continue to grow and change.

If what she once longed for most was the exorbitant trust of Juqing Huijin, then now it is undoubtedly Tang Song's recognition and affection.

Room 2002, Lanfeng International Luxury Apartment.

"Click—" Lin Mu Xue walked in, carrying a bag and an exquisite insulated bag.

"Xu Ning! Come out for dinner!" she called out.

After changing my shoes in the Entrance Hall, I couldn't resist striking a pose in front of the mirror.

She sighed at her own captivating beauty.

She rarely wore full suits like this before, mainly because she didn't have the right presence to pull it off.

I feel really nice now. Although I don't have the aura of a strong woman, I have the standard urban beauty vibe.

"Xiao Xue, you're back!" Xu Ning trotted out of the bedroom, took the things from her hands, and smiled broadly, "Did you bring your own lunch today? Is it the company's lunch?"

"Yes, they have Cantonese Roasted Meat today, which are very delicious."

"Thank you, Xiao Xue! Go and rest over there, I'll set things up." Xu Ning carried the heavy insulated bag to the restaurant and started getting busy.

Lin Mu Xue unbuttoned her suit jacket, washed her hands, and leaned back in her chair.

Soon, a dazzling array of exquisite lunch boxes unfolded before me, emitting a delightful aroma.

The delicious roast meat exploded in her mouth, and Lin Mu Xue lazily squinted her eyes, enjoying the pleasure of the food.

Only when you feel the loss do you realize how precious something is. Now she really wishes she could eat it three times a day.

Xu Ning took a few photos and shared them on social media. Then, while eating, she asked in surprise, "Xiao Xue, you seem to be in a very good mood today. Did something good happen?"

Lin Mu Xue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, I guess so."

Seeing that she didn't elaborate, Xu Ning didn't press further, but instead asked expectantly, "By the way, Xiao Xue, when will our company have any work? Zhang Mengmeng and Li Bing have asked me this several times."

After registering the company, she posted recruitment notices in her old Moments, Wild Model Circle, and Socialite Circle.

This group consisted of both men and women, and most of them worked odd jobs under the guidance of a group leader.

The current economic climate is bad, everyone is extremely poor, and many people are heavily in debt.

I wish I could have a stable job, especially one as an actor, which sounds prestigious.

The WeChat group now has 120 members, all of whom live and work in the vicinity of Yancheng.

Xue Tang Culture offers a 20% commission rate, mainly because they lack other resources to help with promotion or training; they simply introduce the job.

Lin Mu Xue crossed her legs, took a sip of juice, and said, "We should have some progress by next week at the earliest. You can get ready. We won't need too many people for the first batch. Try to find people with backgrounds in extras."

Xu Ning's eyes Jing Jing as she exclaimed, "Ah! That's wonderful! That's wonderful! Xiao Xue, you're amazing!"

She's currently heavily in debt and is thinking about making money as soon as possible every day.

"Hmph." Lin Mu Xue chuckled lightly, proudly crossing her legs.

"By the way," Xu Ning suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Xue, some people in the group don't believe we can get work from film crews. Um... could you tell me what kind of connections you have? I'll speak louder in the group later."

Lin Mu Xue raised her eyebrows, sat up straight, and said casually, "My boss has already bought the only short drama film and television base in Yancheng. He will soon become the actual controller there. Do you think I'm qualified?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Xu Ning, revealing a smug and boastful expression.

∑(дlll)

"Clang—" Xu Ning's chopsticks fell directly onto the dining table.

Swallowing hard, Xu Ning's voice trembled slightly as she asked, "The Big Boss of your committee bought a film and television base? My God, how much did that cost?"

"Well, it's just a small goal, nothing to him." Lin Mu Xue crossed her long, beautiful legs and smiled, "As his assistant, I might also be involved in managing this company in the future."

"That's awesome!" Xu Ning was so excited she forgot to eat, her whole body trembling. "Xiao Xue, you're amazing too! With such strong connections, we're definitely going to make a fortune!"

"Heh, so all you need to do is focus on your work."

"Yes, I understand!"

Eat your dinner slowly and chew thoroughly.

The two turned on the TV, ate the fruit slices that came with their meal, and watched a popular dating reality show.

Watching the interesting interactions between the Guest inside.

Xu Ning glanced at Xiao Xue beside her and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xue, when you said in front of Jiaojiao that you were accompanying your boyfriend to check out the Yannan Film Base, were you referring to this boss?"

Lin Mu Xue stopped what she was doing instantly and looked at her with sharp eyes.

"Um... I was wrong, I was wrong," Xu Ning quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to check on you."

This was the lowest point in her life, and only then did she see clearly who her true friends were.

She really wanted to show some concern for the other person.

She had been in the industry for many years, and many of the people she knew had "made it" to the right path.

Even she, before, thought she had made it ashore, but the results were mostly not good.

Lin Mu Xue patted her shoulder and suddenly said, "That's right, it's him. Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you, you should have a chance to see him after the film and television base opens."

He is the boss of the financial company I work for, and everything I have now is thanks to him.

Work, Porsche 911, luxury goods...

Her words were very peaceful, even carrying a hint of happiness and joy.

Hearing her words, Xu Ning instantly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Then... what is your relationship now?"

Lin Mu Xue was silent for a while, then said, "That's not important."

"I understand." Xu Ning pursed her lips. "Xiao Xue, you made the right decision to start a company. It's a way to give yourself a way out."

"You're overthinking it. I started the company simply to make some money."

"All right."

Looking at her former best friend, Lin Mu Xue gently bit her lip, then suddenly smiled broadly and said, "He told me today that he loves me."

"Uh..." Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

"It's nothing," Lin Mu Xue said, standing up. "I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the restroom, her steps light and graceful.

She was just too happy, and it was hard to keep it all inside. She didn't know who to talk to, so she could only share it with Xu Ning.

Watching her departing figure, Xu Ning felt a pang of heartache.

Xiao Xue was the prettiest of all her friends, and many people had wanted to be her sugar daddy, but she had always refused.

Because of the humiliation she had suffered, she was both insecure and strong-willed.

In the end, it still came to this.

Although Xiao Xue never said what kind of person the boss was, one could probably guess from some minor details.

He owns a family Trust Company, drives Rolls Royce Phantom, manages the Lanfeng International Hotel, and has now acquired a film and television base.

He usually doesn't have time to spend with Xiao Xue, but he gave her a bunch of high-end luxury gifts on Qixi Festival.

In her mind, the image should be of a successful middle-aged or elderly man, probably around sixty years old, who most likely has his own family.

He's a bit overweight and balding, but he has a very strong presence and can completely subdue Xiao Xue.

You're happy for so long just because the other person said "I love you".

Just as she was lost in thought, a "beep beep" sound came from the door, and the smart lock was unlocked.

The door was gently pulled open.

A figure walked in; it was a very tall boy.

The sudden turn of events startled Xu Ning. She jumped up, grabbed the fruit plate from the table, and nervously looked towards the entrance Entrance Hall.

He shouted, "Who is it?!"

Immediately afterwards, the boy looked up at her.

Xu Ning's expression froze, and her eyes widened suddenly.

What a handsome young man!

He was twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with red lips and white teeth, tall and handsome.

Wearing a casual suit, he looked elegant and noble, incredibly handsome!

He's even more handsome than all the male Guest on the dating reality show combined!

He's like a male celebrity.

She has a keen eye; she spotted the high-end bespoke suit the other person was wearing at a glance.

I instantly felt relieved.

Looking like that and wearing those clothes, there's no way he could be a bad person.

Their eyes met.

The boy's face broke into a bright and warm smile, so dazzling that she dared not look directly at him.

"Are you Xiao Xue's friend? I'm sorry, I didn't tell her before I came. I wanted to surprise her."

His voice is very pleasant, clear yet magnetic.

Xu Ning blushed and said, "I'm Xiao Xue's friend. She's in the bathroom right now. Um... who are you?"

She pointed in the direction of the door, somewhat puzzled.

As the most upscale apartment building in Yancheng, the security of Lanfeng International is beyond doubt; it is impossible for anyone to simply break in.

"Me?" Tang Song blinked and said softly, "I'm her boyfriend, Tang Song."

What?! Boyfriend?!

Holy crap! Where did this come from?!

Xu Ning stared at him blankly, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

"Um... my name is Xu Ning, and I'm currently staying at Xiao Xue's place."

Tang Song raised an eyebrow. "Hello Xu Ning. I haven't heard her mention you before."

"I just recently returned to Yancheng," Xu Ning replied, adding, "Tang Song, please have a seat. Xiao Xue should be out soon."

"Hmm." Tang Song nodded slightly, sat down naturally in the office chair, picked up a book from Lin Mu Xue's desk, and flipped through it briefly.

Xu Ning, who was standing there, took a deep breath and couldn't help but steal glances at his figure.

I never expected that Xiao Xue would have such a Male God boyfriend.

Could it be that she's keeping a gigolo on the side behind her boss's back?

If this gets discovered, we're doomed!

Just as she was Brainstorming, the bathroom door opened, and Lin Mu Xue walked out leisurely.

Seeing Xu Ning standing there, he frowned and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Um..." Xu Ning pointed to the work area in the corner.

Lin Mu Xue looked over in surprise, her expression instantly freezing. "Tang Song! What are you doing here?"

"Ha." Tang Song put down his book, stood up, and looked at her with a smile. "What? Not welcome?"

"No, no!" Lin Mu Xue's chest heaved slightly under her undershirt, and her eyes welled up with tears. She quickly walked to his side, looked up into his eyes, and said, "I'm just so surprised."

Tang Song gently pinched her smooth chin and lowered his head to kiss her moist, full lips.

Lin Mu Xue's gaze instantly became unfocused as she gently rubbed her legs together.

After hearing him say "I love you" in the afternoon, she was completely overwhelmed and now has no resistance whatsoever.

Standing by the sofa, Xu Ning didn't know what to say for a moment, and just stared blankly at the two of them.

His eyes were practically bloodshot, brimming with the smell of gunfire.

After a moment, the two slowly separated.

Xu Ning whispered, "Xiao Xue, what's this? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

Lin Mu Xue glanced at Tang Song beside her, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Weren't we just talking about him?"

Xu Ning paused, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked at Tang Song standing there.

His face looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Are you kidding me?

This... this is Xiao Xue's boss?!

Trust Company, Rolls-Royce, Lanfeng International Hotel, Yannan Film Base ...

A string of words floated through my mind.

Looking at the handsome and dashing Tang Song, Xu Ning's heart trembled.

Xiao Xue isn't just suffering; she's practically climbing Mount Everest!

If a guy like that could catch her eye, she'd be willing to live in a mansion and drive a luxury car every day!

Tang Song subconsciously touched his face. "Is there something on my face?"

"No, my friend's a bit eccentric, just ignore her." Lin Mu Xue pursed her lips. "Are you busy tonight?"

Tang Song smiled, his fingers gently stroking her slender waist, and said softly, "I've been practicing swimming lately. How about you come with me to the pool at Lanfeng International tonight?"

Tang Song wasn't lying; he's been actively cultivating more hobbies lately.

For example, I occasionally practice photography and swimming.

"Okay!" Lin Mu Xue's red lips moved, and she instantly became lewd.

He didn't mention Qianqian, which means she might have to fight alone tonight.

This was a huge test for her, one she couldn't handle, but it also meant she could draw maps without restraint.

Just thinking about it makes me want to give up.

"Leaving now? I'll go pack my things."

"No rush, let's watch some variety shows together." Tang Song pointed to the TV in the living room.

Every time I meet Xiao Xue, things turn into something risqué, which feels a bit off.

Besides, I still have system tasks to complete, so it's time to cultivate some rapport.

"Okay, I'll go cut you a fruit platter. What would you like to drink? Have you had dinner yet?"

"I've already eaten, so a Coke is fine."

"Wait for me," Lin Mu Xue said, and jogged into the kitchen.

Xu Ning of the Tang Song smiled and nodded, then sat down on the sofa.

Soon, a plate of colorful fresh fruit was placed on the coffee table.

Tang Song looked at Xiao Xue standing there and waved to her.

Lin Mu Xue blushed and obediently sat on his lap, her long legs dangling to one side. She winked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning quickly turned around and went into the bedroom.

Tang Song's hand slipped through her waist, inhaling her scent, and he shifted his body comfortably.

The evening breeze rustled the white gauze curtains, making the living room feel fresh and cool, occasionally accompanied by laughter from the television.

Lin Mu Xue's body grew weaker and weaker.

At 9 p. m., dazzling neon lights illuminated the night in Yancheng.

The two walked to the Lanfeng International Hotel and took a private elevator directly to the top floor, the 30th floor.

In addition to the Presidential Suite, the top floor also features a heated swimming pool and a high-end gym.

It is also typically available to guests in executive suites.

However, there were only the two of them on the entire top floor today.

The pool water is crystal clear and the temperature is just right.

By the time Tang Song came out of the suite with champagne, Xiao Xue was already standing in the pool.

She was surrounded by the shimmering water, and her tall, beautiful figure in a sexy swimsuit was incredibly alluring.

Noticing Tang Song's burning gaze, Xiao Xue scooped up a handful of water and splashed it at him.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Song pulled her into his arms.

"Mmm~" Lin Mu Xue hummed softly as her rosy lips were gently captured, and she let out a pleasant moan.

Breaths mingled, warmth and moisture, delicacy and stickiness.

On the top floor of the hotel, outside the window is the bustling city night view, and Xiao Xue is wearing a swimsuit with smooth skin.

The bubbles in the Champagne Flute danced and cheered gently.

The water surface rippled violently, creating a beautiful scene under the illumination of the LED light strips.

It's worth mentioning that Xiao Xue drew a world map in the pool this time, which was quite a spectacular sight.

Wednesday, August 30, 2023, cloudy, 19~30℃.

11:00 AM.

The atmosphere at the Handing Tower was solemn yet slightly tense.

The heavy mahogany negotiation table, gleaming like a mirror, is placed in the center.

The document contains multiple copies of the equity acquisition agreement, printed on thick paper with excellent quality.

The pen tip scratched across the paper, making a soft "scratching" sound.

As both parties finished signing, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tang. I believe this collaboration will bring more opportunities to both of us."

"Thanks."

The applause gradually subsided.

The two sides shook hands and chatted, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

Sunlight broke through the clouds and shone through the bright glass, illuminating the entire conference room.

The legal team behind him surrounded him and carefully summarized and put away the agreement.

The total estimated value of the first phase of the Yannan Short Drama Film and Television Base project has been determined to be 145 million yuan.

Tang Song acquired 80% of Handing Group's shares for 116 million yuan.

He has officially become the actual controller of Yannan Film and Television Base Co., Ltd.., and will participate in its subsequent operation and management.

"Whoosh!" The System Light Screen automatically unfolded in front of her.

A crisp System Prompt Sound: "Ding! Congratulations, player, the Third Stage Growth Plan Mission has begun."

Looking at the dazzling System Interface in front of him, Tang Song's eyes gleamed with a burning light.

Just as he had guessed, completing the Second Stage Growth Plan Task brought a boost to his charm.

Making up a random excuse, Tang Song stepped into a quiet lounge.

My attention returned to the System Interface.

Upon entering the personal center, a dazzling progress bar glows at the top center of the interface.

[24' (Initial Charm)...30'...40'...50'...60'...70...80...90...100]

The treasure chest above node 70 is emitting a dazzling glow, indicating that it is ready to be claimed.

Tang Song's gaze passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the bustling streets and rows of buildings.

After my nervous and expectant feelings have subsided.

Touch the treasure chest with your consciousness to claim it immediately.

My vision blurred for a moment.

Accompanied by a crisp System Prompt Sound, a series of notification messages appeared on the system panel.
