Full charm points, inherit game assets

Chapter 562 Hong Kong, Mo Xiangwan, Invitation
October 22, 2023, Sunday, sunny, 10~25℃.

It was 6:30 a.m., just as dawn was breaking.

The faint morning light slanted in through the gaps in the curtains.

The room was quiet, with only the occasional car horn passing by outside the window and the soft breathing sounds inside.

Tang Song slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually returning.

My fingers moved and immediately touched a smooth, warm skin.

Gao Mengting, standing next to her, gave a soft "hum," a low and light sound that was quite pleasant to hear.

Tang Song turned to the side and saw his partner curled up.

Her face was buried between his arm and the pillow, a strand of hair falling beside her eyelashes, her breathing warm and steady.

The quilt slipped slightly, revealing the hickeys on her collarbone and shoulders.

Tang Song let out a soft breath, feeling a strange, inexplicable stirring within him.

Gao Mengting always gave him the impression of being elegant, gentle, calm, and firm.

I've known her for so long and I've never seen her lose her temper. Even when she's very unhappy, she just complains a few times and quickly returns to normal.

I never expected it to be this crazy, like a flame igniting in the autumn night.

Gao Mengting is the kind of woman who is somewhat idealistic. Whether it is in her career, friendship or love, she pursues the resonance of souls and the realization of self-worth.

When she chose to take that step.

For her, it was not just physical closeness, but also an opening and trust of the soul.

She didn't hide or back down; she was like a female warrior.

Tang Song could sense her passionate soul.

Of course, ideals are full and reality is skinny.

As a result, Gao Mengting was no match for him at all.

Basically, it consists of: 20 minutes of background information and 5 minutes of main content.

Thinking of this, Tang Song's lips curled up.

My phone, which I'd casually tossed to the inside, vibrated. The screen lit up, and my daily smile reward had arrived.

Gao Mengting's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

In the dim light, the two looked at each other.

"Awake?" Tang Song asked gently.

Gao Mengting looked at him without saying anything, but suddenly leaned in and gently kissed his lips.

Her kiss was awkward, but it was exceptionally earnest.

A soft body pressed down on him from under the quilt.

Their gazes met, like souls kissing in sync.

Tang Song's fingers gently stroked her hair, and looking into her expressive eyes, he felt a gentle stirring in his heart.

He could feel the other person's deep love, pure and unadulterated.

Fiery and straightforward.

Separation of mouth and teeth.

Gao Mengting lay on top of him, her chin resting on his chest, her thick brown hair hanging down.

"Tang and Song...?" Her voice was still a little sleepy, slightly hoarse, but exceptionally soft and pleasant to hear.

"Yes, I am."

"Do you love me?" Gao Mengting asked.

"Of course, I love you. Last night, you made me say it at least 10 times."

"Hehe, okay, I don't remember it happening that many times, but I still want to hear it."

"I love you."

"Tell me how you felt last night, okay?" Gao Mengting leaned closer.

"Um... how should I put it?"

"Tell me from the beginning, little by little, and tell me your feelings in detail."

"Isn't this bad?"

Gao Mengting slowly lowered her hand. "Tell me, I want to hear it."

"Hiss—" Tang Song gasped, realizing for the first time that his partner had such a peculiar hobby!

I've never seen a girl before who would take the initiative to ask for this...

He coughed lightly, trying to change the subject: "Then you go first."

"Hmm." Gao Mengting blinked and looked into his eyes.

Gentle words flowed in my ears.

She spoke eloquently, her tone calm and delicate, her words elegant yet unpretentious.

He even used a lot of profanity.

Tang and Song were dumbfounded and greatly shocked!
……

It was more than 7 o'clock in the morning.

Tang Song changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

Looking up, I saw Qiuqiu sitting in the living room.

She wore a dark-colored thermal top and trousers, a sporty casual outfit that perfectly accentuated her tall and sexy figure.

Her long, orange-brown hair cascaded casually over her shoulders, gleaming softly in the morning light.

She has fair skin and a cool demeanor with a hint of deliberate restraint.

Like a camellia blooming quietly, it hides thoughts unknown to anyone.

Hearing footsteps and the sound of the door opening, she stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with panic, her fingers nervously twisting her cuffs.

Good morning, Tang Song.

Tang Song waved his hand and smiled warmly: "Good morning, Qiuqiu. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Qiuqiu bit her lower lip and whispered, "I didn't know what you and my senior wanted to eat, so I didn't dare to make it."

Tang Song walked to the center of the living room, casually glanced at the rising sun outside the window, and smiled, "Mengting is still sleeping. The weather is nice today. How about we go out to eat? How about roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)? We can bring one back for her while we're at it."

"Okay." Qiuqiu nodded quickly, her face slightly flushed.

She turned and quickly went back to her bedroom, casually put on a coat, then came out and stood next to Tang Song, obediently following him downstairs.

Although her gaze was fixed ahead, he was still visible in her peripheral vision.

Last night, in the rented room, with his senior classmate right next to him, he kissed her on his own initiative.

And she even said, "No one will abandon you."

The impact of those words on her sense of security was indescribable.

Being "abandoned" by someone important to her has always been her deepest fear.

Because of her intense emotional fluctuations, she woke up at around 5 a.m.

I tossed and turned in bed, my heart pounding faster and faster. I longed to see him and say good morning to him.

So I sat on the sofa in the living room.

I just stood there, dumbfounded, for almost two hours.

She didn't know what she was expecting; perhaps she just wanted to spend more time with him.

After all, I feel safe just being by his side.

"Ding—" The elevator slowly came to a stop on the first floor.

Step out of the building entrance.

The autumn sun shines brightly.

The withered yellow sycamore leaves crunched softly underfoot.

Qiuqiu remained silent, but walked beside Tang Song the whole time, following his pace and deliberately keeping her shadow very close.

My gaze would always drift towards him, linger for a moment, and then quickly look away.

Early morning on weekends.

Occasionally, you can see elderly people walking their dogs, young people jogging in the morning, or neighbors carrying soy milk and fried dough sticks on the street…

This is a neighborhood with a strong sense of community, which is why Gao Mengting chose to live here.

Stepping through it, one finds a sense of warmth amidst the ordinariness.

Tang Song glanced at the aloof female designer next to him who was looking down, and suddenly said, "Qiuqiu."

"Yes!" She looked up reflexively, only to meet his bright smile.

next second.

Tang Song wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, his warm palms gently resting on her supple abdomen, effortlessly lifting her off the ground.

Qiuqiu's gasp caught in her throat as she was suddenly pulled into his arms, her body rising into the air, her heart pounding like a drum.

Tang Song chuckled and hugged her tightly, swaying her gently like a swing, his movements tender yet playful.

Qiuqiu's long legs brushed unintentionally across the fallen leaves by the roadside, causing the withered leaves to flutter and dance in the morning light.

The sunlight swirled into a warm vortex in Qiuqiu's vision, beautiful and romantic.

It was as if the whole world was gently blossoming for this moment.

For the first time, a pure, childlike smile appeared on Qiuqiu's face.

Above, the [Dream Flower Seed] quietly unfolded, and the second "Camellia" quietly sprouted a bud.

...

8 o'clock in the morning.

The breakfast stalls on the street corner were already bustling with activity, the vendors' shouts, the sizzling of oil in the pans, and the conversations of passersby all mixed together.

It transforms into a simple, everyday warmth.

The two sat in front of a simple stall, holding roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in their hands, with millet porridge, fried dough sticks, and pickled vegetables in front of them.

Qiuqiu's cool and beautiful face was flushed with a faint blush as she lowered her head and gently stirred the millet porridge, the spoon making a soft sound as it moved in the bowl.

The scene of Tang Song gently swaying around her waist kept flashing through her mind, her heart pounded slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, hiding a shy smile.

Tang Song ate at a leisurely pace, occasionally chatting with Qiu Qiu about the weather or the taste of breakfast, his tone relaxed and gentle.

"Ring ring—" The cell phone on the table started vibrating.

I glanced down at it.

【Luo Bin】

Immediately afterwards, a tissue was handed to him.

"Thank you." Tang Songchao smiled, wiped her hands, picked up her phone, and answered the call.

Soon, Luo Bin's steady and powerful voice came through the receiver: "Good morning, President Tang."

"Good morning, Luo Bin." Tang Song said in a relaxed tone, with a bright smile on his face.

Since unlocking the [Character Center], he has officially gained the privilege of in-depth communication with two top professionals, Luo Bin and Mo Xiangwan.

As the strongest lawyers and brokers provided by the system, their support will be one of the most important backings for his future capital operations and mission completion.

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Luo Bin got straight to the point: "Mr. Tang, I will arrive in Yancheng this morning. When is a convenient time for you to meet? We mainly want to discuss matters related to private jets, household affairs, and Silent Crown."

Tang Song checked the time, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's do it at 2 PM. Come to Rongliu Investment to find me."

Having just experienced the most intimate interaction of his life with Gao Mengting, he wanted to spend more time with her; otherwise, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

Moreover, he also enjoyed discussing those special topics with Gao Mengting, which was both relaxed and fun.

“Okay, I understand,” Luo Bin replied crisply.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song continued to eat his breakfast slowly and deliberately.

Yet, a strange sense of anticipation welled up inside me.

This time, my charm level rose to 80, and I reaped incredibly rich rewards.

Now, everything is finally unfolding, and he is about to step onto a bigger stage—

Private jets, French estates, Smile Holdings, and a "special advisory seat" in the family office.

This seat is crucial, and a candidate needs to be chosen as soon as possible.

To truly trust someone, you need to fully understand your own situation and know some of your own background.

The Tang Jin family office is his true "asset matrix," and this position is key to paving the way for his future takeover of the family office.

In addition, Kate Trust and Tangkin Capital’s investment in Rongliu Capital was initiated immediately.

Tens of billions of dollars! This available cash flow will truly elevate Rongliu Capital to the ranks of world-class private equity firms.

It seems he needs to go south as soon as possible.

The headquarters of Rongliu Capital in Hong Kong, and its private jet; the white moonlight in Shenzhen; "Smart Chain Future" in Guangzhou, and... Zhang Yan.

In addition, the capital injection of Rongliu Capital by Kate Trust and Tang Jin Family Office should begin soon.

Tang Song felt a slight pang in his heart when he thought of Zhang Yan.

I picked up my phone again, opened QQ, and switched to my alternate account. I clicked into Zhang Yan's chat window.

It was still empty inside.

When he checked on Friday night, he found that she hadn't left any messages this week, perhaps she was preoccupied with something.

Having grown accustomed to checking her updates and activities every week, this sudden absence of her presence left him with a strange sense of loss.

Like the thin mist on an autumn morning, faint yet persistent.

……

11 o'clock in the morning.

Qiaoxi District, Youjie Household Services Headquarters.

General Manager's Office.

In the general manager's office, sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting long, thin shadows on the desk.

"Squeak-"

The door was pushed open, and Li Meixia strode in, carrying a thick stack of documents in her hands, her face beaming with undisguised excitement.

"Yu Yan! We've got everything!"

Shen Yuyan, who was looking at her phone, quickly stood up and walked over, saying, "Let me see!"

She took the documents, carefully placed them on her desk, and eagerly began to flip through them page by page.

Notification of Selection for the Hebei Youth Entrepreneurship Support Program, Enterprise Talent Introduction Subsidy Scheme, Brand Promotion Support Plan, Draft Interest-Subsidized Loan Agreement...

Each document bears a bright red official seal, exuding a weighty aura of authority.

Shen Yuyan's fingers gently stroked the paper, her lips slightly upturned, but her eyes were a little red.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

Although I had seen the announcement on the official WeChat account beforehand, I still couldn't contain my excitement when I actually saw the actual items.

She participated in this selection as the founder of Youjie Housekeeping.

From project application, material preparation, and roadshow preparation to subsequent on-site inspections and expert reviews, more than half a year of hard work finally yielded this rare honor.

This is also a recognition of all her efforts over the past few years, and the most formal affirmation of her abilities.

She thought this would be a new beginning.

With this certification, the company can develop more smoothly and demonstrate greater value to Tang Song.

But now... it doesn't really matter anymore.

Thinking about this, her mood involuntarily plummeted.

Unfortunately... it seems to have lost much of its significance.

She gently closed the folder, her gaze dimming slightly.

"What's wrong, Yuyan?" Li Meixia asked with concern.

"It's alright." Shen Yuyan patted her shoulder, her tone calm: "Just apply for the brand promotion and subsidized loan according to the procedure. Let me know if there are any problems, and I'll figure something out."

“Yes, I understand! With this loan, some of the company's crises have been temporarily alleviated.” Li Meixia paused, then hesitated, “By the way, Yuyan, what are your plans next…?”

Shen Yuyan has been gone for over a week.

She greatly admired this classmate and partner who was outstanding in ability, emotional intelligence, and IQ.

I'm also curious to know where she'll go next, and how she'll alleviate the crisis at Youjie Housekeeping.

Shen Yuyan looked out the window, her gaze bright and resolute: "To Hong Kong!"

"Huh? Hong Kong?" Li Meixia was taken aback. "You're going to develop your career there?"

Shen Yuyan smiled, picked up her handbag from the table, and opened it.

He pulled out a high-end silver business card and handed it over.

Li Meixia took it, her gaze slightly taken aback.

[Special Assistant to the Chairman of Rongliu Capital]

“Rongliu Capital?” she murmured, her voice tinged with doubt and shock.

Shen Yuyan chuckled softly, leaned back against the desk, and began to narrate in a low voice.

Hearing keywords like "Central Financial Street" and "US$20 billion" makes one feel...

Li Meixia was stunned, and the expression on her face gradually became one of surprise, complexity, and shock.

They went through a lengthy financing process.

There is a subconscious sense of awe and fear towards capital.

Now, Shen Yuyan has become the special assistant to the chairman of an international capital company.

Judging from her description, this company seems to have a powerful background, with Kate Trust and Smile Holdings behind it.

It’s really awesome!

She finally understood why Shen Yuyan chose to leave the company at this time.

“So…” Shen Yuyan looked at her and said confidently, “Don’t worry, I know everything about Youjie Housekeeping. You just need to follow my plan.”

The first task assigned by Tang and Song has been successfully completed.

Next, as soon as she got to work tomorrow, she planned to take the opportunity of reporting her work to bring up a long-held idea to Tang Song—

Visit the Hong Kong headquarters to learn about and familiarize themselves with the senior management team.

After all, Tang Song himself is currently based in Yancheng, and as the newly appointed assistant, it is perfectly reasonable for him to go to the Hong Kong headquarters, both from the perspective of his job responsibilities and the expansion of his network.

Moreover, at the previous "Investors' Night" event, she met three senior executives from the Hong Kong headquarters.

During the dinner, thanks to the privileges granted by Tang Song and her excellent conversation and social skills, she quickly closed the distance between herself and them and established an initial relationship of trust.

Among them, Zhang Weiran, the director of the Brand and Public Relations Department, is the one with whom she has the closest relationship.

Moreover, the other party also seemed interested in befriending him.

They've been interacting frequently in private these past few days, chatting about everything from industry trends to workplace attire and personal travel plans, and they've had a very pleasant conversation.

Shen Yuyan knew perfectly well that if these relationships were to be long-lasting and stable, she had to take the initiative and maintain them continuously.

According to her understanding, Lin Muxue has never been to the Hong Kong headquarters, and has not even established contact with key figures like Zhang Weiran.

This was precisely her breakthrough point.

Although she understood that Tang Song was the real core figure in the company, pleasing and serving him was the most important part.

But she also knows that her current status is still on the margins, and she cannot rely on emotions to maintain her sense of existence.

Exhaled.

Shen Yuyan looked through the glass curtain wall at the distant city skyline, her gaze complex.

Of course, the main reason was that she felt she couldn't compete with Lin Muxue emotionally.

To put it bluntly, we entered the market too late!
If I had been more decisive back then, the situation would probably be very different now.

……

At noon.

The atmosphere inside the Lanque Western Restaurant at the Lanfeng International Hotel is tranquil and elegant.

Lin Muxue sat in a semi-open corner of the inner room, with a glass of chilled sparkling water in front of her.

Wearing a sharply tailored Chanel business suit paired with silver high heels, she exudes both competence and elegance, with a composed and refined demeanor.

A waiter in a suit and tie quickly stepped forward, bowed, and whispered, "Mr. Lin! Your invited guest has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Muxue immediately stood up, slowly walked out of the seating area, and looked toward the entrance.

A moment later, a familiar figure came into view.

Wearing a finely tailored grey Max Mara suit, she held a leather handbag in her hand.

Her every move exudes a capable, elegant, and mature charm.

"Ms. Mo, it's been a long time." Lin Muxue took the initiative to greet her and shook her hand.

"Long time no see, Xiaoxue." Mo Xiangwan's voice was gentle, with a slight smile.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two sat down opposite each other at the dining table.

Lin Muxue handed over the menu and gently introduced the signature dishes in a soft tone and unhurried manner.

Mo Xiangwan smiled and casually ordered a few dishes, her gaze immediately falling on Lin Muxue across from her.

This was their third meeting, and Lin Muxue's transformation compared to the previous two was remarkable.

The first time, at the signing ceremony of Juqing Huijin, she appeared as Zhao Yaqian's "witness," but she was just a nobody who made a show of it.

The second time, in Shanghai, she delivered a pair of glasses to Su Yu on behalf of Tang Song, and only then did Mo Xiangwan take her existence seriously.

Now, she appears as Tang Song's personal assistant, and her appearance, demeanor, and temperament are completely different from before.

Tang Song's personal assistant—this is no ordinary position.

Kim Mi-so used to be in charge of this part of the work.

Moreover, it may also involve Tangjin Manor and Tangjin Family Office in the future.

This was also the main reason she arranged to meet him.

The two chatted about everyday things and work.

As one exquisite dish after another was served, Lin Muxue gradually relaxed.

While elegantly wiping her mouth with a napkin, she smoothly steered the conversation toward what she cared about most.

"Mr. Mo, I heard from Kylie that you two bumped into each other in Hangzhou?" She spoke casually, with a hint of a smile. "What a coincidence."

She was always concerned about the task assigned by Tang Song, and Mo Xiangwan was undoubtedly one of the shortcuts for her to complete the task.

With a top entertainment company CEO as a mentor, many things become much simpler.

"It's a coincidence."

"Mr. Mo, is there anything I can do for you in Yancheng this time? Please let me know if you need my help."

Hearing her words, Mo Xiangwan's lips curled up slightly, "Besides handling some matters of Tangzong Entertainment, I actually came to Yancheng this time to talk to you about something."

Lin Muxue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Please speak."

Mo Xiangwan paused for a moment, then slowly said, "LVMH Group will soon be hosting a social gathering in Hong Kong, inviting influential brand representatives, celebrities, artists and other social elites from around the world."

Upon hearing the keyword "LVMH Group," Lin Muxue's heart began to race instantly.

LVMH? That's the world's largest luxury goods group!

How could she, a graduate student specializing in luxury goods, not know this?
It comprehensively covers the five major areas of the fashion industry, with its brands such as Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Celine, Bulgari, and Tiffany & Co. being renowned. It ranks 47th on the Forbes Global 2000 list and is valued at over $5000 billion.

When such a company holds an event in Hong Kong, it is definitely a grand feast for high-end circles.

Most importantly, it happens to be the area she's most interested in!
Goodness! Mr. Mo, you're really on the right track!
"Mr. Mo, what do you mean?" Lin Muxue suppressed her excitement, her voice trembling slightly.

Mo Xiangwan smiled, opened her purse, took out an exquisite invitation, and gently pushed it in front of her.

Lin Muxue immediately reached out and took it. The moment her fingertips touched the paper, her heart skipped a beat.

【LVMH APAC Elite Circle】

This is a high-end, private social circle initiated by LVMH Asia Pacific headquarters and co-organized by the Hong Kong French Chamber of Commerce, and its prestige is unparalleled.

The event will be attended by A-list celebrities, luxury brand executives, and fashion icons…

Lin Muxue took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner elation, but her legs were already unconsciously rubbing together, and an undisguised excitement was emanating from her bones.

If she could attend this party, she would be a true "socialite," having genuinely stepped onto the international stage!

Imagine yourself in the moment, casually take a few group photos and post them on WeChat Moments, Xiaohongshu, or Douyin.

Wow, that really elevates the class to the max!
So cool!
“This is a formal invitation,” Mo Xiangwan said with a smile. “If you would like, I can arrange for you to attend with several artists from Tangzong Entertainment. At the same time, I will introduce you to the president of LVMH Asia and recommend you to join their brand advisory board.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Muxue was instantly stunned.

LVMH's brand advisory group?!
This is one of the world's top fashion and capital circles, bringing together key figures from luxury goods, art, film, finance and other fields.

For her, a former "fake socialite," being able to enter this circle means that she will finally become a member of that once unattainable world.

It will also provide an additional "passport" for social occasions around the world.

Looking at Mo Xiangwan across from her, Lin Muxue felt a surge of emotion.

I wanted to rush up and kiss her!
"Thank you, Mr. Mo." Her voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

Mo Xiangwan raised her teacup, her tone gentle yet firm: "Xiaoxue, you don't need to be so polite. We're very close friends, aren't we?"

"Mr. Mo is right!"

Mo Xiangwan smiled gently, her eyes full of meaning: "If you don't mind, just call me 'Sister Xiangwan'."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Xiang Wan." Lin Muxue picked up her teacup, her movements elegant and dignified.

"Ding~"

The clinking of glasses produced a crisp, pleasant sound.

The two exchanged a glance, their smiles gentle yet each harboring their own thoughts.

Mo Xiangwan lowered her head and took a sip of black tea, a slight smile playing on her lips.

First goal, done.

Next up is the "Special Advisory Seat" in the Don King family office.

Wenruan, do you want to fight for her?
