They've Already Finished Showing Off

The two were only 5 or 6 meters apart.

But at this moment, Shen Yuyan felt that the other person was extremely distant.

In Lin Mu Xue, she clearly saw spiritedness and confident arrogance.

This aura deeply stung her sensitive heart.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened.

A bespectacled man politely reminded him, "General Lin, the elevator has arrived."

Lin Mu Xue said calmly, "I'm sorry, I ran into a friend. I'll go over and say a few words. You guys go upstairs first, I'll be there shortly."

"Okay, then we'll wait for you in the banquet hall on the east side of the 4th floor."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After saying goodbye to the others, Lin Mu Xue turned her gaze back to Shen Yuyan.

He gently raised his right hand and greeted her, "Good afternoon, Yuyan."

Shen Yuyan's red lips parted slightly, "Hello Xiao Xue, it's been a long time."

"It has been a long time indeed. How have you been?" Lin Mu Xue asked, her hands hanging down in front of her, clutching her handbag, her eyes sparkling.

In my youth, I was impetuous and lacked a strong sense of security, always fearing that a rival would steal Tang Song's affection.

That's why they intentionally targeted Shen Yuyan and Xu Qing.

A series of recent events have gradually changed her mindset.

Moreover, starting next week, she will officially join Rongliu Capital, move into her own independent Chief Assistant Office, and begin a brand new career.

She has already purchased a new set of personal items, including desktop organizers, calendars, aromatherapy products, and decorative items, and can't wait to decorate the space.

Besides this joyous occasion, her "Xue Tang Culture" finally signed its first batch of "actors".

We're just waiting for the Yannan Film Base to officially open.

At this moment, when she faced Shen Yuyan again, she no longer had the urge to slap him in the face as she had before; instead, she was calm and scrutinizing.

"It's fine." Shen Yuyan's expression was calm and gentle, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

In fact, this period should have been the most frustrating time of her life.

The feeling is indescribable.

Standing face-to-face with Lin Mu Xue, who was full of vigor at that moment, made her feel even more frustrated.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and asked with a smile, "We're quite destined to meet. Mu Xue, what activity are you here for?"

"Yes, Handing Group held a launch event for its ' Yunding Mansion ' series of residential projects today, followed by a customized dinner and wine tasting at the Hilton Ballroom tonight. I was invited to attend."

Handing Group? Yunding Mansion?

Shen Yuyan's expression gradually brightened. Standing next to Lin Mu Xue, she said affectionately, "I've heard about the Yunding Mansion project before, and it's very close to my current neighborhood. Xiao Xue, may I go take a look with you?"

Lin Mu Xue paused for a moment, then readily nodded and said, "Of course, I'll take you in!"

Shen Yuyan sincerely thanked her.

Yunding Mansion is probably the hottest real estate project in Yancheng recently. It consists entirely of fourth-generation-style residences, with the first phase being large-sized apartments. The target customers are high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs in the province.

The property management company of the residential community has not yet determined a housekeeping company to cooperate with.

She and Li Meixia had tried to visit the person in charge of the project many times, but they never managed to get in touch with him.

The company's leaders will also be present at the launch event for the new property development.

If you are fortunate enough to meet the leader in charge of the property, the benefits to Youjie Home Services are self-evident.

This is a good opportunity, and with Lin Mu Xue by my side, there should be fewer obstacles and less disrespect.

The elevator slowly ascended and stopped on the 4th floor.

Step out of the elevator.

A long red carpet appeared at our feet.

Lin Mu Xue raised her chin slightly, swayed her slender waist, and strode forward with graceful steps.

Shen Yuyan straightened his casual suit and followed closely behind her.

We've just approached the registration area for the cocktail party.

Several figures quickly approached, warm and friendly.

"Good evening, Madam Lin, and welcome!"

"Welcome, Madam Lin. Thank you very much for coming; we are honored."

"Madam Lin, this way please. I'll take you to the VIP section."

These people are all employees of Handing Group, including some department leaders.

"Thank you." Lin Mu Xue smiled and nodded, seemingly unfazed.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he still secretly glanced at Shen Yuyan beside him.

A flicker of barely suppressed excitement flashed in his eyes.

Heaven help me! This really wasn't something I did intentionally to show off; you just walked right into it!

She accompanied Tang Song to the several negotiations for the "Yannan Short Drama Film and Television Base" project.

She also handled some work Email afterward.

During the process, I naturally got to know some senior executives of Handing Group.

She was invited by a vice president of Handing Group as an important guest; in other words, she was attending the banquet on behalf of Tang Song.

She invited her friends to join in the fun purely to enjoy the flattery and to showcase herself.

Otherwise, why would a penniless woman with less than 20,000 yuan in savings attend the launch event for such a high-end real estate project?

Enter the brightly lit banquet hall.

A delicate fragrance, a blend of floral and culinary aromas, wafts towards you.

A considerable number of people had already arrived at the scene, gathering in twos and threes.

As Shen Yuyan walked forward, she scanned the entire scene and spotted some familiar figures among them.

Just then, Lin Mu Xue suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Immediately afterwards, two middle-aged men in suits walked over.

One of them, beaming, said, "Hello, Madam Lin, it's a pleasure to have you attend tonight's dinner."

"Thank you for the invitation, Director Zhao."

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Lin Mu Xue turned slightly to the side and calmly introduced, "Yuyan, this is Mr. Zhao Mingwen, the vice president of the headquarters of Handing Group."

"Director Zhao, this is my friend Shen Yuyan. She's quite interested in our project, so she came along to take a look."

Zhao Mingwen warmly welcomed Ms. Shen!

"Thank you, Director Zhao." Shen Yuyan tried her best to remain calm and bowed politely.

His eyes flashed with barely suppressed shock.

As a well-known real estate developer in Yan Province, Handing Group is naturally very familiar to her because of her experience in the domestic service business.

Established in 2004, it holds a Class A national qualification for real estate development and a Class B national qualification for property management.

It is a group enterprise with 15 subsidiaries and 2,800 employees, integrating real estate development and construction, engineering management, property services, and financial investment.

The vice president of this company just appeared in front of her like that, and was so enthusiastic towards them.

Looking at Lin Mu Xue, Shen Yuyan was not very understanding, but she was also greatly shocked.

If she had such connections, she could easily secure partnerships with a few residential communities and office buildings, and the crisis at Youjie Home Services could be resolved effortlessly.

This highlights the importance of resources and connections, which is also what she lacks most.

The lobby bar is located on the 31st floor.

Listening to the people around her discussing how outstanding and excellent Xuan Xuan's fiancé was.

Han Yajing felt a surge of excitement and asked softly, "Qing Qing, is your boyfriend okay with us having dinner together later?"

She was hoping that her precious daughter's boyfriend would make her look good.

"No problem, he lives not far from here, he'll be here quickly." Xu Qing instructed, "Mom, when you meet him later, you have to be a little reserved! We've only just started dating, don't keep calling him 'son-in-law' or anything like that, it might scare him off."

She knows her mother's character all too well.

If the real people of the Tang Song were to show their faces, I would definitely jump up with excitement.

If she were to actually bring up topics like "marriage" or "having children," she would be incredibly embarrassed.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Han Yajing said excitedly, "Look at Mom's outfit today, it's all designer brands, isn't it fashionable? Pretty, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Qing rolled her eyes.

Seeing that her best friend was late, she urged her again on WeChat.

"Ding-dong—"

[The Scheming Yan: "I ran into Xiao Xue in the lobby. I'll chat with her for a bit, then I'll come find you later."]

Upon seeing this message, Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little flustered.

Liu Ruyan is here too?!

Because of the few times they met, Lin Mu Xue gave her the impression of being very aggressive, coupled with her close relationship with Tang Song.

Xu Qing dreams about her every time she has a dream, and she always appears as the villainous supporting character.

The impression was quite profound.

Just then.

Han Yajing cleared her throat loudly and said with a smile, "Oh right, there's something I forgot to tell you. Qing Qing's boyfriend is coming over later, so we can all get to know each other then."

"Oh? Qing Qing has a boyfriend?"

"Why haven't I seen Qing Qing Moments? When was that?"

"We just got together recently, not long ago." Xu Qing's face was a little red.

After all, these people are elders, and it feels a bit strange to talk about this topic.

Zhang Huijuan asked with concern, "Is that young man also working in Yancheng? What kind of work does he do?"

"Yes, I'm developing my business in Yancheng, running my own company."

"Oh?" Zhang Huijuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's your name? Let me see if I recognize you."

She has lived in Yancheng for more than 20 years, starting from the bottom of the wholesale business and gradually building up to own her own factory. She has a very wide network of contacts and has met all kinds of people.

If possible, she wanted to help Qing Qing, this younger woman, vet her so that she wouldn't make a bad choice in a partner.

Xu Qing bit her lip and said, "His name is Tang Song."

Zhang Huijuan pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know her, and I probably haven't had any contact with her."

"Tang Song..." Liu Xuan muttered for a while, then suddenly said, "That sounds familiar. I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."

Zhang Huijuan's eyes lit up. "Oh? Then we can have a good chat when we meet later. Maybe we've met before."

Just then.

A deep, steady male voice suddenly came from the side, "Sorry I'm late."

Xu Qing turned around and saw Wu Wenhao striding over.

Wearing a navy blue suit, with a neat and simple hairstyle, and regular features, he exudes a mature and steady aura.

Liu Xuan stood up with Wei Xiao, affectionately took Wu Wenhao's arm, and introduced him gently, "Wenhao, these are my mother's old classmates, who came all the way from out of town to attend our wedding."

Wu Wenhao nodded slightly, a polite and warm smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice, "Welcome, elders. I am Xuan Xuan's fiancé, Wu Wenhao. Thank you all for coming from afar; it is truly our honor. Please forgive us if there is anything we have done in a way that is not well taken care of."

After a lively exchange of pleasantries...

Zhang Huijuan asked with concern, "Wenhao, are you done with work at the company?"

"I finished my work, and since the group's vice president happened to be here, I accompanied him."

"The group's vice president is here, which means this reception is very important," Zhang Huijuan said softly. "If you have something to do, take care of it over there first. Xuan Xuan and I will take good care of things here."

She was extremely satisfied with this son-in-law.

At such a young age, he has become the leader of the Investment and Development Department of Handing Group. It is no exaggeration to say that he is young and promising.

"It's alright, Auntie," Wu Wenhao said with a smile. "The leader is mainly here to make an appearance; he won't be staying long."

The actual launch event for the Yunding Mansion is from 2 PM to 4 PM, held at the Conference Center and within the residential complex. What we're doing now is just a celebratory reception.

"That's good." Zhang Huijuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to introduce him to several old friends one by one.

Everyone stood up and greeted them warmly.

Wu Wenhao Wei Xiao and acted with composure and confidence. Coupled with his status, he instantly drew sighs of admiration from the people present.

The Rest Area was bustling with activity for quite a while.

Zhang Huijuan said, "Let's go downstairs first. There are more and more people here. I've booked a private room in the restaurant on the 5th floor. Let's go downstairs and talk slowly."

"Okay, it's almost lunchtime."

As they talked, they began packing their things.

Han Yajing nudged her daughter and whispered, "Qing Qing, remember to let your boyfriend know."

"Okay!" Xu Qing replied, opened WeChat, and left a message for Tang Song.

"By the way, why hasn't Yuyan arrived yet?"

"I'll make a call," Xu Qing said, quickly finding Shen Yuyan's contact person and dialing directly.

She was genuinely worried that her best friend would be bullied by Xiao Xue.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not Yi Yi look!

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone in my pocket vibrated violently.

Shen Yuyan, glanced at the incoming call message, and quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Qing Qing."

"Yan Yan, are you alright?"

Shen Yuyan at Lin Mu Xue not far away and said softly, "It's okay, I'm fine."

This time, Lin Mu Xue was much gentler than before. Under her deliberate guidance, she even introduced her to several leaders of the Handing Group and exchanged contact information.

It can be said that the harvest was very fruitful.

"That's good. We're going downstairs to the restaurant on the 5th floor for dinner, in a private room in the Platinum Crystal Hall. Oh, and Tang Song is coming over tonight too. You can talk to him about Yunxi Property when you meet him."

Upon hearing Tang Song's name, Shen Yuyan's heart skipped a beat, and she whispered, "I understand. I'll come find you later. Bye-bye."

I hung up the phone.

Shen Yuyan glanced at Lin Mu Xue, who was enjoying a glamorous life.

She also longed to be the center of attention, and even more so, to stand in the highest position.

Biting her lip, Shen Yuyan murmured to herself, "Xiao Xue, don't be so smug. My best friend is already working hard."

Then he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

She used to always say that once she took off, she would take Xu Qing to eat and drink the best food and drink.

Unexpectedly, he placed his hopes on Xu Qing instead.

The image of Tang Song resurfaced in her mind.

Actually, at the very beginning, she did consider taking the initiative herself.

With her reputation as the school beauty, coupled with her outstanding figure, looks, and emotional intelligence, she was confident that she would win Tang Song's favor.

However, through further observation, she discovered that her best friend had developed genuine feelings for Tang Song.

Even when he sleeps with her, he talks in his sleep and calls out the name "Tang Song".

Once she understood this, she gave up and never sent him any more fitness pictures on WeChat, limiting her conversations to normal friendly topics.

In her heart, her best friend is undoubtedly the most important person.

If she were to do that, it would mean competing with Qing Qing for a man, which would be an insurmountable psychological barrier for Shen Yuyan.

Every time I think about it, I feel guilty, struggle, and blame myself.

However, the recent series of setbacks, the power Tang Song displayed, and the preferential treatment Xu Qing received all made her have a shameful thought.

Especially after meeting Lin Mu Xue today, this thought became even more urgency.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuyan shook her head and strolled back into the crowd.

After clinking glasses and chatting with everyone for a while...

Shen Yuyan affectionately took Lin Mu Xue's arm and said with a bright smile, "Xiao Xue, thank you for your help tonight. Qing Qing is waiting for me upstairs, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Huh? Qing Qing is here too?" Lin Mu Xue was stunned, her eyes widening instantly.

"Yes, it's on the 5th floor, near the restaurant."

Lin Mu Xue pursed her lips and said, "Then I'll go say hello with you. It's been a long time since we last met, and I miss her quite a bit."

She is currently in charge of part of the business of Lanfeng International Hotel, so she naturally knows that Tang Song and Xu Qing are staying in the Presidential Suite.

She harbored no animosity towards women from the Tang Song.

Moreover, Xu Qing's personality is a bit eccentric, making her much more adorable than her scheming best friend.

She's quite happy to get along with people like that.

Moreover, who knows when Tang Song might pull him into a third-row match?

Hearing Lin Mu Xue's words, Shen Yuyan's eyes sparkled, and she nodded with a smile, saying, "Sure, let's go sit together then."

Tang Song will be coming over soon, and she really wants to see Lin Mu Xue's reaction, so she can deduce the true relationship between her and Tang Song.

The Platinum Crystal Hall private rooms feature a spacious and bright Rest Area.

Everyone sat around the Leather Sofa, drinking steaming hot tea, their laughter filling the air.

"Wow, Wenhao is such a handsome and promising young man! He and Xuan Xuan are a perfect match!"

"I'm so envious of Huijuan! Her daughter is so outstanding, and her son-in-law is so amazing too!"

"Wishing you both a happy marriage and great success in both your careers and family life!"

As the undisputed protagonists present, Wu Wenhao and Liu Xuan naturally became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Han Yajing also sighed a few times, her heart itching even more.

She has lived a very ordinary and peaceful life all these years, and her current job is as a stock clerk in a store.

Unfortunately, she actually has a rather flamboyant personality, and she has been suppressing it a lot over the years.

Now that his daughter has taken off and found such a great boyfriend, he wants to show off in front of his old friends.

Her only worry now is whether her daughter has given false information.

After all, her royalties as a writer and her company shares are somewhat different from what she described.

It was because of this concern that she refrained from showing off in front of her friends.

A somewhat plump auntie smiled and said, "Huijuan, my son is also working in Yancheng now. He plans to buy a house next year. When he looks for your son-in-law, you'll have to give us some discounts!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wenhao chuckled and said, "Of course, as long as it's one of our Handing properties, we can get you an insider price, which will be extremely favorable."

"Okay! Then I'll have to trouble you then!" The plump auntie smiled from ear to ear.

Seeing this, Han Yajing couldn't help but say, "Then if Qing Qing wants to buy a house, she should ask Wenhao for help too."

Her daughter is doing very well now, and who knows, she might need to buy a house someday. She's bringing it up now in case it comes in handy later.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huijuan asked in surprise, "You two want to help Qing Qing buy a house in Yancheng?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Han Yajing shook her head and said with a smile, "We parents aren't very successful, Qing Qing is very ambitious. Now she's a shareholder in their company and has made a lot of money writing novels."

"Wow, Qing Qing is so amazing?"

"They've all become company shareholders?"

Seeing the surprised expressions on her old friends' faces, Han Yajing instantly beamed with joy.

Liu Xuan was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "Qing Qing, which company do you work for now? Do you have Equity Incentive?"

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I switched jobs recently and am currently working at a media company. I did receive Equity Incentive, and I've already exercised them."

Looking at her poised, outstanding, and mature daughter, Han Yajing felt gratified and her face glowed with happiness.

"Wow, that's impressive! What does your company do? Are you a GG distributor?" Liu Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at this younger woman with newfound respect.

Although they haven't had much contact in the past two years, she knows Xu Qing very well.

I never expected that the other party would have such abilities.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Yes, I mainly did GG agency business before, but I have now transitioned to creating Micro-Drama."

Upon hearing the keyword "short drama," Liu Xuan paused abruptly, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly asked, "Qing Qing, your boyfriend is from the Tang Song, Yuan, Ming, and Tang Song, right?"

"Tang Song?" Wu Wenhao quickly raised his head and looked at his fiancée in surprise.

Xu Qing was taken aback, not understanding why the other person suddenly changed the subject, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

Liu Xuan sighed. "I was wondering why that name sounded so familiar. Wenhao mentioned it to me a few times recently."

She is currently living with Wu Wenhao, and the two usually live together.

Liu Xuan would occasionally hear about his work.

For example, Mr. Tang, a newly emerged Investment Newcomer in Yancheng.

Moreover, it is said that he is exceptionally handsome and well-mannered, which Wu Wenhao often marveled at at home during that period.

However, I hadn't previously associated the other person's name with Xu Qing's boyfriend.

Han Yajing instantly perked up, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Xuan Xuan, you mean Wenhao knows Qing Qing's boyfriend?"

"What a coincidence!"

All eyes turned to them.

Wu Wenhao paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Hehe, it's probably just someone with the same name. It's unlikely to be the same person. The Mr. Tang I know is an investor."

Han Yajing slapped her thigh suddenly, her face flushed, and said, "Then it must be him! Qing Qing's boyfriend is also an investor!"

It matches! It matches perfectly!

My daughter's boyfriend is definitely no nobody!

Liu Xuan shook her head and said, "Aunt Han, please don't get excited. The Mr. Tang that Wenhao mentioned is not an ordinary investor. He recently spent more than 100 million yuan to buy a short drama film and television base from Handing Group."

A murmur of amazement arose from the surrounding crowd.

Han Yajing's smile gradually froze, and she looked at her precious daughter with some guilt.

Even someone with no concept of money knows what a film and television base worth over 100 million yuan means.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment. Although she tried her best to remain calm, Xu Qing little bottom couldn't help but wiggle and twist, and she bit her lip hard.

It was obvious that they were extremely excited.

You little rascal, Song Zi! You secured the Yannan Short Drama Film and Television Base without saying a word!

Today, I can't help but act tough, even if I wanted to!

Clearing her throat, Xu Qing grinned and said, "Well, it should be the same person. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Brother Wu knows Tang Song."

Upon hearing this, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Han Yajing's body trembled suddenly, and she reached out to grasp her daughter's hand tightly, her face flushed with excitement.

My dear daughter! You've really made your mother proud!

Wu Wenhao was stunned for a moment, looking at Xu Qing across from him incredulously. "Qing Qing, would you mind telling me more about your boyfriend? I need to confirm."

Someone who can come up with over 100 million in cash flow understands all too well what that means.

Is Xu Qing Tang Song's girlfriend?

How is this possible?!

Just as Xu Qing was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room.

Then, the door was gently pushed open.

Two tall, graceful figures walked in one after the other.

A man dressed in a stylish and casual suit, looking dignified and capable.

The other was dressed in a sexy evening gown, exuding elegance and composure.

The two attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.

"Yan Yan, you're here." Xu Qing quickly stood up and waved.

Shen Yuyan winked at her, quickened her pace, and said gracefully, "Aunt Zhang, Xuan Xuan Jie, I'm sorry I'm late."

"It's not too late, it's not too late." Han Yajing stood up and warmly took her hand.

Just then, Wu Wenhao, who was sitting there, suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise, "Madam Lin!"

His voice was quite loud, quickly attracting everyone's attention.

Shen Yuyan's lips twitched, and her expression began to falter.

This Xiao Xue is really strange; it's like she knows everyone wherever she goes. She's practically Innate Pretender Holy Body!

Lin Mu Xue was stunned for a moment, and the other party's information quickly appeared in her mind.

Wu Wenhao, Investment Development Manager of the Investment Development Department of Handing Group, is one of the henchmen of that Young Master Xie.

She met Tang Song when she accompanied him to a party at the Junming Leisure Business Club. (Chapter 397)

However, the two only met once.

Fortunately, she High Spirits at the time and had a particularly good memory, which is why she remembered the other person's name.

He glanced at Wu Wenhao, then at Xu Qing sitting there.

Lin Mu Xue smiled nonchalantly, "Hello Manager Wu, so you and Qing Qing know each other."

"Yes," Wu Wenhao said with difficulty, his mind a complete mess.

Lin Mu Xue is Tang Song's assistant, and she also knows Xu Qing.

The boyfriend Xu Qing mentioned was undoubtedly Tang Song.
