Full charm points, inherit game assets

Chapter 569 A Glimpse of Beauty, Su Yu
"Shirley, Shirley!" Lin Muxue's slightly teasing voice rang out: "What are you daydreaming about? Are you mesmerized by the air of Hong Kong?"

Shen Yuyan quickly came to her senses, her gaze shifted slightly, and she looked up at Mo Xiangwan, who was standing not far away.

Take a deep breath, walk quickly forward, and extend your hand.

With a slightly nervous yet respectful tone, he said, "Mr. Mo... Hello, I've long admired your name. I never expected to meet you here. I am Shen Yuyan, the special assistant to the chairman of Rongliu Capital."

Although her voice was steady, her palms were already slightly sweaty.

Upon hearing her self-introduction, Mo Xiangwan's eyes flickered slightly, and she reached out to shake hands with her.

"Hello, Assistant Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Hearing that the renowned Mo Xiangwan was so gentle and polite, Shen Yuyan felt a surge of excitement and joy.

This is the CEO of Tangzong Entertainment!
As a leading enterprise in China's entertainment industry, it is a listed company with a market value of nearly 100 billion yuan.

Her noble status is beyond doubt.

She had seen this name countless times in financial news, short video platforms, and investor lists, and now, she was actually standing in front of her, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries!
Compared to Zheng Qiudong, another celebrity I met before, she was much gentler and had a much friendlier attitude.

"I've always heard of Mr. Mo's unparalleled charm; seeing him today is truly an eye-opening experience."

Lin Muxue watched her expression from the side, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

A clueless newbie who's never seen the world!
How dare they try to take my place, Emperor Muxue!
Haha, were you scared out of your wits?
This is just the beginning. If you knew that I have a "close relationship" with Jin Meixiao and Su Yu, you would probably be scared to death on the spot!
However, Mo Xiangwan's sudden appearance today did make her feel flattered and realize her position in the other party's, or rather in Su Yu's, heart, and she became more and more calm.

As for how the other party knew her itinerary, it's actually quite simple.

Kate Bank's Black Card benefits and concierge team are largely in partnership with Tangzong Entertainment.

In particular, among the shareholders of Shengtang, which is responsible for security, is Tangzong Entertainment.

A few simple greetings were exchanged.

Seeing that Shen Yuyan was still trying to get close to Mo Xiangwan, Lin Muxue interrupted with a smile, "Sister Xiangwan, let's get in the car and talk."

"Ah."

Shen Yuyan's gaze lingered between the two for a moment, just as she was about to say something.

Lin Muxue immediately arranged, "Shirley, you sit in the car behind."

The driver immediately opened the back door for her. Shen Yuyan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded, replying, "Okay."

"Bang—" The car door was gently closed.

Sitting in the back, Shen Yuyan let out a breath, her eyes still flashing with shock.

The previous treatment and personal advisors Lin Muxue had given her were actually not very impactful.

What truly broke her defenses was Mo Xiangwan's arrival at the airport to pick her up.

She could understand it if it were the Tang or Song dynasties.

No matter what, he is the owner of a private equity firm with billions in assets.

But what about Lin Muxue?
He's just the assistant to the general manager of Rongliu Capital, even if he's a vice president (VP), he's just a senior executive in the company.

Where does she get such a big face?
For a moment, in Shen Yuyan's eyes, Lin Muxue seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil.

The car slowly drove out of Hong Kong International Airport and wound its way along the North Lantau Highway.

The view outside the window gradually changed from the steel and glass of the terminal building to lush green hills and winding coastlines.

The skyline of Hong Kong slowly unfolds.

The Tsing Ma Bridge, like a giant dragon, lies across Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, with the sea shimmering beneath it.

The slightly salty sea breeze from Victoria Harbour blew in through the cracks in the car window, ruffling her hair and bringing the dampness and passion of Hong Kong.

Shen Yuyan let out a soft breath, feeling refreshed and gazing into the distance.

The towering glass curtain wall gleams in the sunset, outlining the magnificent silhouette of the bustling metropolis.

International Finance Centre, Bank of China Tower, HSBC Headquarters Building...

Buildings symbolizing wealth and power flashed past her eyes one after another.

It was both unfamiliar and shocking, as if a scene she had been repeatedly depicting in her mind for many years had finally come to life.

She raised her phone and lightly tapped the shutter button.

"Click——"

The afternoon light and shadows of Victoria Harbour were captured on camera.

She casually shared it on her WeChat Moments with the caption: "The intersection of capital and dreams, the Oriental Pearl of international finance—I've arrived."

After finishing, she leaned back in her chair, looked out the window, and quietly admired the scenery of Hong Kong.

After a while, I subconsciously opened my phone and refreshed my WeChat Moments.

I immediately saw a large number of unread messages.

Likes and comments followed in quick succession.

Soon, a comment caught her attention.

[Ji Yingying: "I just heard from Menglin at noon that you're in Hong Kong. Come to think of it, it's been over four years since the three of us got together. I'm planning to visit some investors in Hong Kong soon, so let's have a good get-together this weekend."]

Shen Yuyan stared at the comment for a few seconds, her eyes flickering slightly.

She certainly understood what Ji Yingying meant.

This is hardly a "wanting to get together" situation.
It's just another way of saying, "I'm here too, don't be so presumptuous."

Back then, she, Bai Menglin, and Ji Yingying were all prominent figures in the top class, with outstanding looks and excellent grades.

The three never explicitly stated it, but the competition never stopped from beginning to end.

Back then, she did indeed always overshadow them, whether in appearance, grades, or demeanor.

Ji Yingying clearly wants to make a triumphant return home.

Today, Zhifang Medical has successfully listed on the A-share market with a valuation of 98 billion yuan, gaining widespread recognition.

As the head of investor relations, Ji Yingying certainly has the qualifications.

When she first learned of this news in the group chat, she was indeed upset and disappointed for a long time.

Fortunately, she is now a senior executive at a private equity firm with assets exceeding 10 billion yuan, and her status is no less than that of Ji Yingying.

The only one who suffered was Bai Menglin.

Shen Yuyan chuckled and shook her head, then clicked on Ji Yingying's comment and replied: "Looking forward to our reunion in Hong Kong (#hugs) (#hearts)."

...

4 pm.

The vehicle slowly drove into the crescent-shaped driveway in front of the Four Seasons Hotel in Central.

The iconic five-star hotel in Hong Kong has red and gold welcome umbrellas gleaming in the sunlight at its entrance.

The doorman, dressed in a white-gloved uniform, politely opened the car door with elegant and well-trained movements.

Lin Muxue stepped out of the car with composure, her black Jimmy Choo high heels clicking on the ground. Carrying a Hermès Birkin bag, her every move exuding the aura of a powerful female lead.

Her personal consultant, Aria, quickly came to her side and whispered something to her.

Shen Yuyan then got out of the car, slightly composed herself, and tried to remain calm.

After the three cars were parked neatly for a moment, they slowly drove away.

Shen Yuyan asked hesitantly, "Luna, what about President Mo...?"

Lin Muxue waved her hand gently and said in a light tone, "Sister Xiangwan is very busy with work. She specially took time out of her schedule to come and pick me up from the airport, and we can chat about some personal matters. Don't ask any questions, let's go."

Her words seemed casual, yet every word was barbed.

Shen Yuyan's lips twitched slightly, her chest heaving, but she ultimately said nothing.

The lobby is softly lit, with warm golden light falling from the vintage crystal chandelier and illuminating the black and white marble floor, reflecting its exquisite and luxurious texture.

Guests came and went in an orderly manner, and were dressed in fine clothes.

Shen Yuyan opened her bag, about to take out her ID to check in.

Several figures quickly stepped forward to meet them.

The leader was a middle-aged white man in a well-tailored suit, with a dignified expression and well-trained manners.

Shen Yuyan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Muxue.

Sure enough, the group stopped in front of Lin Muxue.

The white man bowed 15 degrees and greeted her with a smile: "Honorable Ms. Lin, welcome to the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. I am Daniel Everett, Front Office Manager, and it is my pleasure to serve you."

"Hello, Daniel," Lin Muxue said gently, nodding in response.

Daniel spoke at a measured pace, with his characteristic British accent: "You originally booked a Superior Ocean View Room, but we have automatically upgraded you to a Deluxe Ocean View Executive Suite, which is 150 square meters and includes a separate living room and a private balcony with views. All amenities in the room, including fragrances, champagne, pillows, and bottled water brands, have been changed and arranged according to your preferences..."

Daniel continued speaking.

Shen Yuyan, who was standing to one side, was actually a little vulnerable.

She is a normal woman, and her competitive spirit is no less than anyone else's.

He was even more energetic when facing Lin Muxue.

Both of them were assistants. Although Lin Muxue's rank was slightly higher, the administration helped them book the same sea-view room, which cost HK$4000 per night.

In fact, this business trip treatment is already incredibly generous.

Upon arriving at the hotel, they were unexpectedly upgraded to a deluxe suite costing over 2 yuan per night, with customized amenities and a personal welcome from the front desk manager…

She had only ever seen such courtesy in TV dramas and financial gossip.

How did she manage to acquire so many privileges? And even know a big shot like Mo Xiangwan?

Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?
I shouldn't have come with her!

I am so silly! real!

The frustration she had felt along the way burned like a fire in her heart.

“Ms. Lin, please follow me to the suite. We will complete your check-in procedures in your room shortly.” Daniel then looked at Shen Yuyan, “Will this lady also be checking in?”

Lin Muxue turned her head and chuckled, "Shirley, do you want to stay together? It's a 150-square-meter suite, and it does feel a bit lonely for me to live alone."

Her tone was natural, like a casual invitation between friends, but her smile carried a hint of nonchalance, a hint of probing, and a hint of understated superiority.

Lin Muxue looked down at her, feeling a wave of pleasure wash over her.

In her view, the time from departure to check-in at the hotel is like the MVP settlement screen of a game.

Their eyes met, and they both knew what the other was thinking.

Shen Yuyan gritted her teeth, but suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take you in. If we stay together, it will be convenient for us to look after each other, and it will also save the company some travel budget. When President Tang comes to Hong Kong, he will definitely praise us."

That's good, she was really worried that Tang Song would come to Hong Kong and stay directly in Lin Muxue's room.

"Let's go then."

Daniel bowed slightly, palms up, and guided, "Please follow me, the private elevator is waiting for you."

Lin Muxue nodded politely and turned around gracefully.

The staff members carried the luggage onto the private elevator in an orderly manner.

"Ding--"

The elevator stopped on the 41st floor.

The lighting was soft and elegant, and the group walked silently on the thick wool carpet.

The dark wood double doors slowly opened.

A luxurious and bright suite came into view.

The suite is spacious and bright, with a beige-gold color scheme and a well-organized layout.

The air was filled with a faint scent of amber and cedar, clean, restrained, and just right.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is an unobstructed panoramic view of Victoria Harbour.

The sea and sky blend into one, with light and shadow interplay, resembling a series of exquisite portraits.

Daniel briefly introduced the suite's structure and amenities, then quietly left with the staff, the door slowly closing behind them.

The spacious suite fell silent, leaving only the two of them. A faint, almost imperceptible electric current seemed to emanate from the air.

Lin Muxue casually took off her coat and draped it over the back of the sofa. She then reached for the champagne bottle and waved it at Shen Yuyan.

"Welcome to Hong Kong, Shirley. Want to grab a couple of drinks?"

“Okay.” Shen Yuyan smiled and sat down on the single sofa opposite her, taking the wine glass that was handed to her.

The champagne was slowly poured in, the liquid topped with delicate bubbles.
"Ding~~"

The slightly cool wine enters the throat, releasing a subtle fruity aroma.

The two exchanged a smile, their emotions subtly swirling within them.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yuyan put down her wine glass and said in a light and sincere tone, "Luna, I'm really super curious... how come you have such a good relationship with President Mo of Tangzong Entertainment? I'm really amazed by your connections, they're incredible."

Lin Muxue did not answer immediately. Instead, she leaned forward slightly, rested her elbows on her knees, and parted her red lips slightly with a casual yet provocative expression.

Shen Yuyan subconsciously leaned forward, staring intently into her eyes, trying to catch any clues from her expression.

Two exquisite faces were less than ten centimeters apart, their breaths mingling, the scent of champagne filling the air.

Putting aside the disagreements between the two, the scene is very beautiful.

"I won't tell you," Lin Muxue said slowly.

After saying that, she burst into laughter, her whole body shaking with mirth, and she relaxed completely.

Shen Yuyan's eyes twitched, and her hand holding the wine glass tightened subtly.

He silently chanted to himself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, if I get angry I'll die, who will benefit..."

Lin Muxue took another sip of champagne with a smug look on her face, then stood up and stretched, her movements elegant and relaxed. "I'm going to take a shower and a bath. What would you like to eat tonight? It's on me."

"No need, I have plans with my classmates."

Hearing this, Lin Muxue's eyes lit up. "What classmate? Can I come with you?"

Her black card hasn't even had a chance to show off in front of Shen Yuyan yet!
One is showing off, and two are also showing off!

"Hehe." Shen Yuyan was almost amused by her. "We're high school classmates, just catching up. Let's get together again next time."

Lin Muxue pouted and shook her head regretfully, "Alright then, have fun."

After saying that, she hummed a little tune and swayed her hips as she walked into the bathroom, her figure as light as a kitten stepping to the beat.

Watching her retreating figure, Shen Yuyan gritted her teeth and suppressed the emotions that were welling up in her chest.

At this moment.

"Ring ring—" The cell phone suddenly rang.

Bai Menglin

Shen Yuyan quickly composed herself, picked up her phone, and answered, "Hello, Menglin."

"Yu Yan, I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy today. I just saw your post on WeChat Moments. Have you arrived at the hotel yet?"

"Yes, I just arrived. It's at the Four Seasons Hotel in Central, a few hundred meters from your company."

"Wow, this hotel isn't cheap. No wonder you're a small business owner like us!" Bai Menglin joked with a smile.

"It's alright." Shen Yuyan smiled and didn't say anything more.

“By the way, Yingying is coming to Hong Kong too. This is going to be lively.” Bai Menglin’s tone was light but with a touch of emotion. “I never thought we would reunite in Hong Kong instead of Los Angeles.”

"Hehe, I'm super excited too."

“You can stay here a little longer, Yu Yan. Aren’t you quite interested in the financing circle? This morning, I heard from our VP that things are getting lively in Hong Kong lately, and it seems like something big is about to happen.”

Shen Yuyan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

“Some of our major clients and key executives from our partners have arrived in Hong Kong in the past two days, including Guyu Biotechnology, Tangzong Entertainment, Yunxi Real Estate, and even an important representative from the Tang Jin family office.”

"So many heavyweight players?" Shen Yuyan's eyes lit up immediately, and she perked up.

“Yes.” Bai Menglin’s tone was casual, but she couldn’t hide her excitement. “Judging from this scene, the capital market is probably about to make a big move. Let’s join in the fun; maybe we can witness something big.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

Shen Yuyan stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the other side.

This suite is truly excellent, offering panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, Kowloon, and Victoria Peak.

Guotai Junan International, where Bai Menglin works, is located in the nearby New Era Plaza, within sight of it.

Her gaze danced between the skyscrapers, her heart pounding.

A lot of thoughts came to mind in an instant.

Mo Xiangwan from Tangzong Entertainment went to Hong Kong, and Tang Song also wanted to come to Hong Kong.

Are their presence here all related to these capital movements?

Moreover, the companies Bai Menglin mentioned all seem to be related to Smile Holdings.

For example, Guyu Bio, a leading biotechnology company in Hong Kong with a market capitalization of hundreds of billions, is more than ten times larger than Zhifang Medical, where Ji Yingying works.

The major shareholder is Smile Holdings.

The current chairperson, Li Shiqin, is a close confidante of Director Jin.

Yunxi Real Estate and Tangzong Entertainment need no further explanation.

If this capital turmoil is really about to unfold, is it possible that Rongliu Capital will get involved?

After all, Tang Jin is also behind Rongliu Capital.

"Thump thump thump—" My heart started racing.

A blush rose to Shen Yuyan's face, and a strange flutter suddenly stirred in her heart—her ever-keen sixth sense.

Her intuition told her that this trip to Hong Kong would be far more dramatic than she had anticipated.

……

6 pm.

Shenzhen, Qingning Technology Building.

"Bye-bye, Ms. Liu." "Bye-bye."

Liu Qingning followed the flow of people and walked lightly out of the office building.

A gentle sea breeze, carrying a slight salty scent, drifted through the gaps between buildings, ruffling the hem of her clothes and strands of hair.

As night falls, the city's neon lights gradually illuminate, casting shimmering halos on the glass of high-rise buildings.

When crossing the intersection and approaching Building T7 of Shenzhen Bay No. 1.

She slowed her pace, took out her phone, and dialed Liu Shuang's number: "Hello? Shuangshuang, where are you?"

"Coming right away! I was a little delayed by the elevator, but don't worry, I'm coming as fast as I can!" The voice on the other end of the phone was panting.

Less than a minute after hanging up the phone, a figure pounced over.

"I'm here!" Liu Shuang laughed and hugged her tightly, as enthusiastically as a puppy.

The two exchanged a few words of laughter and jokes, then walked forward.

Liu Shuang said with a look of anticipation, "I'm so happy, I can come to your house for a free meal again."

"To correct you, that was 'rented,' not my home."

"I know, I know, your husband rented it for you, haha." Liu Shuang shook her arm affectionately and naturally.

Liu Qingning hummed twice, but did not refute her address.

Because the Qingning Technology Building is only a few hundred meters away from Shencheng Bay No. 1.

When Liu Qingning isn't busy with work, she eats all three meals at home.

Aunt Mei, the nanny, was originally Su Yu's private nanny.

She has superb culinary skills, is proficient in Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Western cuisine, and can even make desserts, stews, and health-preserving porridge.

Eating at home is much more comfortable than eating out.

Liu Shuang was completely captivated after her first meal here, and would frequently take the opportunity to come and freeload off the restaurant.

Eating alone is indeed lonely, and Liu Qingning was happy to have someone to keep her company, so she accepted this "meal-free companion".

The two walked side by side into the Shenchengwan No. 1 residential complex.

Walking slowly along the stone-paved path, you can hear faint voices and car horns behind you, while the illuminated landscape lights ahead create a gentle and tranquil atmosphere throughout the community.

"Wow, this place is amazing. The greenery is like a park, and the property management is top-notch. Every time I come here, it feels like a vacation."

"Then keep trying, maybe you can buy one here someday."

"Forget it, I can't even afford to rent it. It's more cost-effective to take advantage of you."

The two chatted and laughed, their cheerful voices echoing lightly in the night.

Just then, a figure slowly walked over from the opposite side.

It instantly caught their attention.

She was wearing a black face mask and a baseball cap, with only her eyes showing.

She has a tall and slender figure, and wears a well-tailored black leather jacket that accentuates her capable and upright posture.

High-waisted cargo pants and Doc Martens make the figure appear even more upright and aloof, exuding both coolness and charisma.

As they drew closer, they finally met face to face at the corner of the path.

Liu Qingning and Liu Shuang instinctively stepped aside slightly to make way and slowed their pace.

At the same time, the woman also slowed down her pace.

A pair of eyes slowly lifted up.

Liu Qingning was involuntarily stunned.

What kind of eyes are these?

Pure and serene, like a deep lake after the snow has just melted, seemingly calm and still, yet hiding undercurrents.

The reddish-brown eyeshadow at the outer corner of the eye was applied with extreme restraint and precision, making it breathtakingly beautiful.

These are the most beautiful eyes Liu Qingning has ever seen.

Extreme, yet restrained.

But strangely, she felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

The moment their eyes met, the woman's gaze was calm and profound, as if it held a thousand unspoken words, or as if she had said nothing at all.

The next second, she lowered her head and brushed past him.

A breeze swept by, bringing a faint, cool fragrance, like the scent of a pine forest on a snowy night, crisp and refreshing to the bone.

It wasn't until her figure completely blended into the night that Liu Qingning came to her senses.

Liu Shuang exclaimed, "My God, who is this? He's so cool! He looks like a cold-blooded agent from a movie. His aura and physique are simply unbeatable."

Upon hearing the word "movie," Liu Qingning paused and stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong, Qingning?" Liu Shuang tugged at her arm.

Liu Qingning stared blankly ahead, her ample chest heaving, her voice trembling slightly: "Shuangshuang, do you think... that woman just now looked like a celebrity?"

"Who?"

Liu Qingning bit her lip and said with difficulty, "Su Yu."

Liu Shuang froze for a moment, her pupils suddenly dilated, and her voice rose higher and higher: "Holy crap! It's definitely her! Su Yu! Oh my god—Su Yu! We actually ran into Su Yu here!"

She excitedly grabbed Liu Qingning's arm, almost jumping up: "Qingning, is it too late for us to catch up now?!"

Liu Qingning did not answer. She stood there, her expression blank, her heart racing.

She suddenly had a strong premonition.

They will probably meet in person soon.
