The Finest Luxury Goods
Night fell, and the full moon hung high in the sky.
The pristine white Jeep Wrangler, like a flowing shadow of light, slowly traversed the city streets before finally entering the Yuxiuyuan Residential Complex.
The vehicle is turned off.
Xie Shuyu turned her head and glanced at the passenger seat. Winnie the Pooh was tilting his head and looking at her. The gold thread embroidery on his red T-shirt gleamed warmly under the car's interior lights, as if he were watching her with a certain warmth.
"Childish-"
After a moment of daze, Xie Shuyu got out of the car, picked up Winnie the Pooh, and strode into the elevator with light and elegant steps.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home."
In the living room, Zhao Su'e, who was watching TV, quickly came over upon hearing the noise. "Little Rain, why are you back so early? Didn't you spend more time with your boyfriend?"
Xie Shuyu gave her mother a lazy glare, and said while changing her shoes, "Before, if I came home late, you would send me a text message every half hour as if you were urging me to hurry up."
"How can that be the same? Dating is a serious matter!" Zhao Su'e joked with a smile, her gaze suddenly falling on the teddy bear in her arms. "What kind of plush toy did you buy this time? Let me hold it for you."
"No need." Xie Shuyu instinctively hugged herself tighter and walked into the living room, pulling on her slippers.
Seeing this, Zhao Su'e instantly understood, a "doting auntie smile" spreading across her face. "Your boyfriend gave this to you, right?"
Xie Shuyu paused for a moment, then casually explained, "It was a gift from a shopping mall promotion."
Father Xie, who was soaking his feet, turned around and said, "Oh, this Winnie the Little Bear looks just like the one I gave you when you were little."
"They're the same anime character, of course they look alike." Xie Shuyu's lips curled up slightly, but her tone remained calm. "I'm going back to my room now."
"All"
The door closed, followed by the sound of it being locked from the inside.
Xie Shuyu walked to the bedside and gently put the teddy bear down, her movements as tender as if she were handling a precious treasure.
He muttered to himself, "I'm home."
She reached out and straightened its crooked ear, her fingertips tracing its soft, fluffy surface.
I took my Mobile Phone out of my bag and immediately saw a series of missed calls and unread messages.
Take a deep breath.
Xie Shuyu didn't immediately respond. She opened Tang Song's WeChat chat and typed a message: "I've arrived."
Drive carefully on the road. Don't reply to my messages. Just let me know when you get home.
After thinking for a moment, she picked up her Mobile Phone again, took a picture of Winnie the Little Bear on the bed, and sent it along with the photo.
After finishing all that, she sat down at her computer and began replying to unread work messages and phone calls one by one.
This period was her busiest time, but also her happiest.
The expansion plan of Glimmer Café is progressing steadily, and in addition to several first-tier core cities, the surrounding areas of Yancheng have also been gradually included in its map.
The location for the new store in Quancheng was finalized last year, but it was delayed due to funding issues. Now that the financing is complete, everything is finally on track.
A long time passed.
It seemed like he had thought of something.
Xie Shuyu quickly reopened WeChat and found the friend request that had been ignored.
Liu Shasha, Tang Song's high school classmate.
After clicking to accept the verification, we chatted briefly, and the other party quickly sent me my resume file.
With her intelligence and emotional intelligence, she naturally understood what Liu Shasha meant.
An ordinary college student whose major and job are completely unrelated, and who most likely has no professional skills.
Liu Shasha hopes to have a stable and respectable job in Quancheng.
After a moment of contemplation, Xie Shuyu dialed a friend's number and, with just a few words, secured Liu Shasha an interview opportunity for an administrative clerk position at a subsidiary of a state-owned enterprise under the urban investment system.
She then notified the other party of the result via WeChat.
After receiving an extremely excited thank you from Liu Shasha.
Xie Shuyu stood up, drew the curtains, and took off her clothes to prepare for a shower.
As the stockings fell down, she realized that her reaction today was stronger than she had imagined.
I went into the bathroom.
Warm water cascaded down her snow-white skin, splashing onto the floor tiles along Na's curves.
In the misty nitrogen and argon atmosphere, Xie Shuyu closed her eyes, and the scenes that had happened that day floated through her mind.
The kisses between Tang Song, the caresses in the movie theater, the forceful and invasive kisses in the "princess carry contest," and finally, the initiative after losing control of one's emotions.
For her, this was the first time she had ever been truly blinded by emotions.
Tang Song's youthful and vibrant body, along with his burning passion, caused her to completely abandon her reserve at that moment.
Completely addicted to it.
Is this the magic of love?
My thoughts have not yet calmed down.
"Ding ding~~" The WeChat call ringtone sounded.
Xie Shuyu glanced at the Mobile Phone on the shelf and felt a slight sense of satisfaction.
It was a video invitation from Tang Song.
I picked up my Mobile Phone, just about to hang up.
Xie Shuyu paused, pursed her lips, and turned her head to look at herself in the mirror.
Her smooth skin shimmered with a matte sheen under the light, and her tall and slender figure resembled a poplar tree, with a narrow waist, full breasts, and long legs outlining a perfect silhouette.
Although she is no longer young, her strict body management and diet control have kept her in excellent condition.
At least Tang Song really liked her body, that's for sure, she could tell from their first meeting.
Xie Shuyu smiled slightly and chose to answer the video call.
The screen lit up quickly, showing that familiar handsome face.
It made her feel suddenly cheerful and relaxed.
"I'm home." Before Tang Song could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Xie Shuyu's wet hair, bare shoulders, and the background of the bathroom.
"Shuyu-jie, are you taking a shower?"
"Can't you tell?" Xie Shuyu raised her eyebrows slightly and deliberately moved the camera so that he could see the showerhead spraying water.
Tang Song took a deep breath. "I really can't tell. Zoom out a bit, or move the camera down a little."
"Yi Yi— " Xie Shuyu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Water droplets slid down her swan-like neck and accumulated into small puddles in the hollow of her collarbone.
Tang Song was overwhelmed with emotion. "Shuyu-jie, you are so beautiful, but the picture is too small and I can't see it clearly."
"Okay, I'm done fooling around with you. I'm just glad you got home safely. I'm hanging up now."
Xie Shuyu spoke as she turned around and continued taking a shower.
Shower gel foam slid down her long, slender neck.
"Wait a minute!" Tang Song said earnestly, "We're in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, there's nothing wrong with a video call."
I don't mind. Wait for me a moment, I'll take a shower with you.
Xie Shuyu was amused by his words, "Dream on."
Despite saying that, she didn't hang up the call. Instead, she casually put her Mobile Phone on the shelf and pointed the camera at the ceiling.
After a while, Tang Song's voice came from the Mobile Phone: "I'm ready, I'm starting to take a shower."
Xie Shuyu glanced at the screen, her expression changed drastically, her mouth gaped open, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
A moment later, she couldn't help but steal a glance at him on the screen, feeling her mouth go dry.
Sculpted muscle lines, firm and clearly defined eight-pack abs, and a faintly visible V-line.
this--
She never expected that Tang Song's figure would be so exaggerated.
Xie Shuyu took a deep breath, turned the shower on full blast, and let the rushing water pound on her.
She gradually regained her composure, but the flush on her face lingered.
"By the way, I've already spoken to your classmate Liu Shasha about her job; it's an administrative position at the Municipal Transportation Construction Group—."
Xie Shuyu quickly changed the subject, her tone relaxed and casual.
The two chatted idly while showering.
The sound of flowing water gradually stopped.
"I'm done washing up, I'm going out now." Xie Shuyu picked up her Mobile Phone again.
Tang Song's face appeared on the screen. "Dear Shuyu-jie, can't you really take a look? You've seen me before."
Xie Shuyu's slightly flushed face revealed a half-smile. After a moment of silence, she said, "Alright then."
"Really? That's great!" Tang Song immediately perked up, his eyes sparkling.
Xie Shuyu smiled and turned her Mobile Phone camera upside down to point it at the messy bathroom mirror.
I just took a hot shower.
The lens only captured the frosted glass shrouded in mist, but the faint outline visible through the rising steam was enough to spark the imagination.
Then, a slender hand emerged from the mist and slid across the surface of the mirror.
Emerging from the Northern Hemisphere, in the hazy mist, it is pure white as snow and smooth as a mirror.
Tang's Adam's apple bobbed violently.
Then, the camera flips again.
Xie Shuyu suddenly moved closer to the camera, her eyelashes glistening with water droplets almost touching, her eyes revealing a hint of playfulness and tenderness. "Xiao, tomorrow is October 1st. I'll come to Jing County to find you. I'll drive my SUV to the Ginkgo Scenic Area, okay?"
"Okay!" Tang readily agreed, his tone full of anticipation.
Xie Shuyu Wei Xiao and waved at the camera, "See you tomorrow then, get some rest early tonight."
"You should also get some rest and not work late into the night."
Xie Shuyu nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. That's settled then, bye-bye."
She had originally planned to stay up all night working, but since Tang had spoken up, she decided to follow his advice and indulge herself.
"Bye-bye, by the way, Shuyu-jie, wear black stockings tomorrow."
Xie Shuyu's smile faltered for a moment before she quickly hung up the call.
After wiping herself clean, she wrapped her wet hair in a towel and returned to her bedroom to begin skincare.
It's past 10 PM.
The bedside lamp was turned off, plunging the room into a soft darkness.
Xie Shuyu lay down in bed, her gaze falling on the Little Bear opposite her, a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he reached out and pulled it into his arms, gently rubbing his cheek against its fluffy head, a smirk playing on his lips.
With soft breathing, she slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
October 1, 2023, Sunday, 13~26°C.
7 a. m.
Yancheng, Qiyun Resort.
The crisp chirping of birds drifted in from outside the window, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.
Lin Mu Xue sat up from the soft bed, casually tousled her long hair that was draped over her shoulders, neatly tied it into a low ponytail, lifted the covers and got out of bed. She went straight to the window and pulled open the heavy curtains with both hands.
The morning light instantly flooded the room, illuminating the entire space.
I changed into a Lululemon tracksuit, turned on the camera, and started filming today's vlog.
Morning exercise, breakfast, makeup, changing clothes—"That's all for today's video! Hope you enjoyed it! Bye~"
Lin Mu Xue let out a long breath, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
This wasn't entirely because she asked Xu Ning to accompany her to the resort; the main reason was that she had landed a big business deal.
They can receive a promotional fee of 50,000 yuan and also enjoy a free three-day, two-night vacation.
After so many years as an Internet Celebrity, this was the first time Xiao Xue had received such an amazing commercial order, so she naturally dragged Xu Ning over without stopping.
Qiyun Resort is located in the suburbs of Yancheng. It is a high-end resort known for its luxury and tranquility.
It happened to be during a long holiday, and businesses, attracted by her popularity and elite image, spent a lot of money to have her shoot short videos.
She has posted three videos since the day before yesterday.
Each item perfectly matches the target audience's needs, showcasing the resort's luxurious facilities while incorporating her unique style.
After turning off the camera, Lin Mu Xue turned to Xu Ning and urged, "Hurry up and pack your things, we're going back to Yancheng!"
Xu Ning whispered, "Xiao Xue, didn't the boss say we could stay here for a week? Why are you in such a hurry? The food and drinks are all free!"
"So many choices? Hurry up!" Lin Mu Xue snorted irritably, but then a smug smile appeared on her lips. "My husband prepared a gift for me, saying it would be delivered to Yancheng today. How could I possibly be in the mood to waste time playing around with you?"
After saying that, she turned and left, swaying her slender waist and round hips with an exceptionally flirtatious gait.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning's eyes revealed a deep sense of envy, while at the same time, an indescribable sense of loss welled up in her heart.
That's probably why choosing the right option is so important.
The two symptoms were the same at the beginning.
Unfortunately, she chose that "fake Second-Generation Rich" and was scammed out of all her money.
Xiao Xue, however, met her true love, who could cherish her and give her the best life.
Tang's image came to mind.
I couldn't help but pray for Xiao Xue, hoping that she and the other person could stay together forever.
9 AM.
The two men boarded the Porsche 911 and headed towards the city.
Lin Mu Xue wore a pair of huge Gucci sunglasses and hummed a light melody along with the car stereo, in an extremely good mood.
"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone rang, interrupting the music.
Lin Mu Xue glanced at the car's infotainment system and answered the call.
"Hello? Sister Xiao Xue."
A familiar yet slightly unfamiliar voice came through the receiver, causing Lin Mu Xue to momentarily lose her senses.
"Hey, Zhen Zhen, where are you now? When will you arrive?" Her tone remained calm, but a smug smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
"I took the high-speed train from Chang'an with my classmates at 8 a. m., and we should arrive in Yancheng before noon."
Lin Mu Xue raised her eyebrows, her heart eager to try, but she remained calm and composed, saying, "How about I treat you to lunch? After all, I'm your older sister, and it's only right that I take care of you since you're on my turf."
Now that she has achieved Da Cheng in her career, she can hardly suppress her desire to show off in front of her cousin, Lin Yu Zhen.
"No need, I had lunch at a classmate's house." Lin Yu Zhen paused, then continued, "Your uncle asked me to bring you a lot of things. Why don't you come and pick them up this afternoon?"
"Okay, see you this afternoon. Take a rest when you get there."
"Okay, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, the music continued to play.
Lin Mu Xue turned her attention back to the window.
Xu Ning, who was standing next to her, opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she swallowed her words back.
As the time approached 11:00, the two returned to the Lanfeng International Luxury Apartment.
After tidying up their rooms, they went to a Hong Kong-style Tea Restaurant for a hearty lunch.
Back in the apartment suite.
Lin Mu Xue glanced at Xu Ning, then suddenly picked up her Mobile Phone and said, "I've transferred 5,000 yuan to you. If you want to go out and travel during the National Day holiday, feel free to buy whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning's expression froze. "I... I still have the money, and Xue Tang Culture will be able to pay salaries next month."
"Take it if you want it, I don't need it. You also filmed a lot of videos for me when I went out to run business deals, consider this your service fee."
"Thank you, Xiao Xue, you're the best to me!" Xu Ning looked at the payment notification on her Mobile Phone and was so moved that she almost cried. She went up and hugged Lin Mu Xue.
"Go away." Lin Mu Xue pushed her away in disgust, but she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she received her first salary from Rongliu Investment, which was 74,000 yuan after tax, plus Mid-Autumn Festival benefits such as state shopping cards and mooncakes.
Having just finished this business deal, another 50,000 yuan quickly came in, bringing the available balance to nearly 170,000 yuan, plus the 50,000 yuan given by Tang Song.
Following the big gold bar.
Lin Mu Xue felt particularly confident when urinating in the toilet these past two days.
Having saved up a little money, what I want most is to spend it.
No rush to buy anything now. I'll wait until I meet up with my cousin Zhen Zhen, then take her shopping and casually show off my wealth. That would be more in line with her style!
Immediately, Lin Mu Xue began planning what to buy.
She doesn't need any more bags for now; she already has the three must-haves: the First Snow, Birkin, and the Gilded Sahara. There's no need to waste money on anything else.
It's mainly about clothes and accessories.
Autumn is here, it's getting colder, and it's time to prepare all kinds of beautiful autumn and winter clothes.
We can't afford haute couture, but shouldn't we at least have a couple of regular luxury clothes?
The Huanzhou watch, a Overseas from Tang Song, is certainly nice, but one shouldn't stick to just one style. Different styles of clothing should be paired with different types of watches.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Mu Xue suddenly felt a little less confident.
Ultimately, Emperor Mu Xue had only recently ascended to the throne and lacked sufficient foundation.
She's supposed to be on par with Jin Meixiao and Su Yu, yet she's so stingy. Nobody would believe it if they heard!
ε=('.*))) Alas, money is hard to come by, Xiao Xue sighs.
"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone rang again.
Lin Mu Xue quickly snapped out of her daze, glanced at the incoming call message, and her heart skipped a beat.
Liu Jiayi
Why would she suddenly contact me?
She quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Jia Yi?"
"Ah! I'll go down right away!"
"Uh—okay, okay, I'll wait for you upstairs and open the door for you in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu Xue stood up and went to the bathroom to tidy her slightly disheveled hair.
Xu Ning quickly followed behind, asking curiously, "What's wrong, Xiao Xue? Is someone coming over?"
"My boyfriend delivered the gift to me. Just keep quiet and don't say anything out of line."
"Oh, okay." Xu Ning's eyes flashed with curiosity.
It didn't take long.
"Ding-dong—ding-dong—" The crisp sound of the doorbell broke the tranquility of the apartment.
Lin Mu Xue, who was waiting in the Entrance Hall, quickly opened the door.
Three tall, black figures came into view.
Besides the dashing and sarcastic Liu Jiayi, there were two burly men in suits with cold eyes and imposing auras.
Lin Mu Xue was slightly taken aback, then pursed her lips and gave a polite but restrained smile, "Jia Yi, you're here. Please come in."
She actually had great respect for the female bodyguard who drove for Tang.
Liu Jiayi has a mysterious background. Although she doesn't talk much, her every move exudes an undeniable sense of power, making her a person with a strong sense of confidence from the Arctic.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Liu Jiayi can also be seen as Tang's assistant, but her responsibilities are different from Tang's, mainly security and travel.
Liu Jiayi nodded slightly and winked at the two men behind her.
Two security guards immediately stood on either side of the corridor, their hands hanging down, their movements perfectly synchronized, like statues.
The leather shoes made a crisp clattering sound as they stepped on the wooden floor.
Liu Jiayi stepped into the room, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings like a knife.
Xu Ning was startled by that sharp gaze and stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the water glass on the table.
"This is my friend, Xu Ning," Lin Mu Xue quickly explained, her tone carrying a hint of reassurance.
Then, her gaze fell on a heavy black and gold gift box in Liu Jiayi's hand, and her heart suddenly raced.
A gift personally arranged by Tang is definitely not something cheap.
She had been looking forward to this for a long time.
Liu Jiayi withdrew her gaze, handed over the rummaged gift box, and said in a gentle and professional tone, "Assistant Lin, this is a gift that Mr. Tang ordered for you. It was transported by Tang Security. Please check it."
"Oh, Jia Yi, come in and sit down." Lin Mu Xue suppressed her excitement, took the gift box, and gestured for her to sit anywhere in the living room.
Liu Jiayi paused for a moment, seemingly unaccustomed to this occasion, but still Mo Mo scratched her head.
After the two men sat down on the sofa...
Xu Ning poured them a cup of hot water, then stood curiously behind Lin Mu Xue, her eyes fixed on the black and gold gift box.
Lin Mu Xue took a deep breath, placed the gift box on the coffee table in front of her, and carefully opened it.
The first thing you see when you open the box is an exquisite envelope.
The √ side is printed with "Welcome to Your Eclusive Visa Infinite Obsidian" in gold foil lettering.
Card (Huan Song uses your exclusive Infinite Obsidian Card)
Lin Mu Xue's gaze suddenly froze, her fingers hovering motionless in mid-air.
As a typical luxury goods graduate student who has studied English diligently for so long and mingled in so many circles, she naturally understands what this sentence means.
A series of information flashed through her mind.
For example, the famous "Visa Infinite Black Card" is the top-of-the-line credit card in the Visa Infinite series, often referred to as the "black card".
These black cards not only offer extremely high credit limits, but also come with a range of exclusive services: private jet leasing, five-star hotel reservations, VIP Channel top restaurants. More importantly, Visa has clear rules for naming high-quality counterfeit cards issued by partner banks, allowing the use of "VisaInfinite" + a custom suffix.
This level of card is typically only available to the world's wealthiest individuals.
Thinking about this mess, Lin Mu Xue's heart beat faster and faster, and her breathing became rapid.
As clever as she was, she had already made a guess when she saw this sentence.
But she still couldn't believe her own deduction.
The entire living room of the apartment fell into a deathly silence.
Liu Jiayi sat to the side, her expression calm, but her gaze remained fixed on Lin Mu Xue's face, as if trying to glean something from her expression.
Xu Ning secretly glanced at the gift. Unfortunately, she couldn't understand English, so she could only anxiously watch Lin Mu Xue's dazed expression, scratching her head in frustration.
A long time passed.
With a sigh of relief, Lin Mu Xue finally mustered her courage and picked up the envelope with trembling fingers.
A touch of calm and luxurious black comes into view.
An exquisite card lay Jingjing on a velvet mat, its surface gleaming with a subtle, alluring light.
The black card surface shimmered with obsidian patterns under the sunlight.
The laser-etched gold lettering "VisaInfiniteObsidian" shines brilliantly.
Cardholder's name: "MUXUELIN" (meaning "platinum-plated hand")
Below her name, the faint outline of "TANG" is visible, like a badge, highlighting the card's unique affiliation.
Lin Mu Xue held her breath, her fingertips involuntarily touching her own name on the card, her gaze blank.
"Assistant Lin, this card is a joint creation of Kate Bank and Visa, designed specifically for private assistants, and has very comprehensive functions."
All state-related expenses incurred with the Black Card are ultimately settled by the Family Office. This means you don't bear any repayment burden personally.
However, this does not mean you can spend money as you please.
What you need to ensure is that every transaction is made in the name of Mr. Tang's assistant, so as to better serve Mr. Tang.
Detailed instructions are provided here, and you can also contact customer service at any time for more information.
Liu Jiayi's voice was calm and professional, without a trace of unnecessary emotional fluctuation.
But the wind that fell on her ears felt like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.
This drove her into a state of frenzy.
Lin Mu Xue's face flushed red, her legs trembled, she was overwhelmed with emotion, her bladder contracted, and she almost started drawing a map on the spot.
What is the world's ultimate luxury? This is it!
