Chapter 678 Partner and Fake Socialite

Yintai Centre, Weiguang Coffee flagship store, back office area.

Xie Shuyu held the slightly warm phone, listening to Tang Song's serious question.

A delicate blush instantly spread across her fair and dignified cheeks.

"Hello? Sister Shuyu, are you listening?" Tang Song's voice came through my ear again.

"Um...that..." Xie Shuyu cleared her throat, forcing her voice to sound as calm as usual, "I still have work to do here. Where are you now? I'll have Xiaomin drive over to pick you up."

She habitually used work to mask her bewilderment.

"No need, you go ahead with your work. I'll pack my things and come over to you after you get off work tonight."

"Okay, then...see you tonight, bye-bye."

hang up the phone.

Xie Shuyu let out a long breath and subconsciously touched her burning cheeks with the back of her cold hand.

The images of the Tang and Song dynasties involuntarily popped into my mind.

Then I thought about the idea of ​​staying in the same room that night.

She is a true workaholic, and every breakthrough she achieves in her career brings her immense satisfaction.

Therefore, she tends to habitually ignore her emotional needs.

Her friend Meng Ran's reminder did indeed wake her up.

This made her realize that the overly "Platonic" relationship between herself and Tang Song was not normal.

That's why she took the initiative to invite Tang Song to live with her, just like a normal girlfriend would.

But to my surprise, this guy was so direct.

Hearing his suggestive teasing, she still couldn't resist.

Perhaps it's because, over the years, no one has ever spoken to her like that.

I just sat there lost in thought for a long time.

"Ring ring—" The cell phone rang.

Meng Ran

Xie Shuyu immediately answered the phone, "Hey, Ranran, are you done with your work?"

"Just finished the weekly meeting." Meng Ran's efficient yet concerned voice came from the other end of the phone. "How about you? Any progress on the supplier issue?"

When work was mentioned, Xie Shuyu's eyes darkened again.

"We just finished a meeting with New Hope Dairy, and their attitude was very ambiguous. It seems that Zhongshu Group is moving quickly and its reach is longer than we imagined."

“As expected.” Meng Ran sighed, then comforted her, “But don’t worry, I’ve confirmed it for you. At the CBN private event the day after tomorrow, a vice president from the local dairy giant, Jule Group, will be attending in person. He’s a vice president in charge of major clients and strategic partnerships. I’ll ask a friend to introduce you so you can talk to him directly.”

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Ranran." Xie Shuyu's mood improved slightly.

New Hope is a nationwide dairy company.

Given her capabilities and the current scale of Weiguang Coffee, she could at most work with regional sales managers here.

There are no more connections above that level.

And those sales teams, more or less, are influenced by the powerful local network of [Zhongshu Group], and always shirk responsibility and pass the buck on some key issues.

For example, her requests regarding supply prices and her hope that the other party could open up a portion of its forward warehouse to Weiguang Coffee for temporary cash flow were also rejected.

However, Jule Group is also a large local enterprise in Chengdu, and it has its own powerful backers.

If we could get in touch with this vice president, we might be able to bypass the influence of Chen Hao and the Zhongshu Group.

However, there is another problem: the possibility of facing difficulties from certain government departments.

For example, what if the market supervision administration suddenly launches a surprise inspection of all your stores under the pretext of "receiving consumer complaints"?
Will the fire department conduct a "safety hazard inspection" every few days and force you to suspend business for rectification?

Will the health and epidemic prevention station conduct random inspections during peak hours?

These nitpicking about compliance are the most fatal.

It can keep any chain brand busy and unable to operate normally.

"Why are you being so polite with me? By the way, what did your boyfriend say? It's a private party the day after tomorrow."

Xie Shuyu paused, then said somewhat awkwardly, "He... has already arrived in Rongcheng and will be staying at my place tonight."

"Wow!" Meng Ran on the other end of the phone burst out with undisguised excitement. "I knew it! Xiaoyu, you finally got it! I'm not talking anymore, I need to finish my work now and come find you! I'm so curious about who he really is!"

I just hung up the phone.

"Dong dong dong -" there was a knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaomin, the assistant, rushed in.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Fang from Linglian Technology has arrived."

Xie Shuyu instantly suppressed all her personal emotions, and her face returned to calm and professional.

"Okay, please let him in."

She glanced at the time; the other party had arrived a full twenty minutes earlier than agreed.

It's clear they came with great sincerity.

She would never allow Zhongshu Group to seize control of her painstakingly built Weiguang Coffee business.

Therefore, we have no choice but to bypass it at all costs.

The first step is to replace the cold chain logistics and warehousing system that they indirectly control.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, she must do it.

Linglian Technology is the best breakthrough point she can find at present.

They offer the best prices and the most comprehensive technical support.

Moreover, she has inquired through various connections over the past two days, and Linglian Technology is indeed very promising, with huge technological advantages.

……

Jinli Villa.

After Tang Song finished writing the last stroke, he carefully set aside the copy of "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" that he had just copied.

"Buzzing—"

The cell phone, which was placed on the stone table not far away, suddenly vibrated.

[Minor Snow]

Tang Song picked up his phone, answered the call, and said in a gentle and calm voice, "Hello, Xiaoxue."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Muxue's melodious voice immediately came through: "Good afternoon, Mr. Tang, I hope I haven't disturbed your rest?"

"No, what's wrong?"

“It’s like this,” Lin Muxue said quickly, “I have arranged everything regarding the property matters of [Cloud Top Mansion] that you asked me to do before. The purchase contract is ready and can be signed at any time.”

"Thank you for your hard work. You can go directly to Mengting. I've already told her beforehand."

"Okay," Lin Muxue replied crisply, then her voice suddenly lowered and became cloying: "President Tang..."

"Ok?"

"I miss you."

Tang Song smiled and said, "Oh? How much do you want to?"

A sound of tongue and lips rubbing came through the receiver, followed by a deliberately lowered voice.

Tang Song raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "We can film a video next time."

Lin Muxue obediently hummed in agreement.

Just as the two were about to hang up the phone.

Tang Song couldn't resist adding with a mischievous grin, "By the way, you can also ask Xiao Jing for help."

……

Yancheng, Rongliu Investment, General Assistant's Office.

"what!"

Lin Muxue gasped softly, as if she had heard something foul, and her cheeks flushed instantly.

"No... no need for you to worry, Mr. Tang. I have a plan! I'll contact Gao Mengting right now!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

He leaned back in the large Herman Miller office chair.

Xiaojing's expression kept replaying in my mind.

She twisted her long, beautiful legs, and a strange feeling welled up inside her.

Lin Muxue covered her burning face, forcibly calming herself down, and her gaze fell on the newly printed house purchase contract on her desk.

He picked up his phone again and dialed Gao Mengting's number.

"Hey?"

"Hello, are you Ms. Gao Mengting?" Lin Muxue's voice was gentle and professional, exuding the aura of an urban elite.

"It's me, you?"

"I am Mr. Tang's assistant, Lin Muxue."

"Oh, hello, Assistant Lin. Tang Song mentioned it to me before, it was about renting a place, right?"

Lin Muxue's eyes darted around. "Emm...more or less. Are you free now? Or I can come over to you and we can talk in detail when we meet."

How did buying a house turn into renting one?
Could it be that Tang and Song were planning some kind of romantic surprise?
However, as his personal assistant, I must make sure my boss's act is perfect!
“It’s convenient. I’m in my office at Yunxi Building right now. You can just come over.”

"Okay, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Muxue stood up, gently exhaled, carefully touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, and then sprayed some freshening spray on her wrists and the sides of her neck.

He then picked up his custom-made briefcase and document bag and stepped outside.

Soon, the silver-gray Porsche drove out of the underground parking lot of the Yan Province Financial Center.

On a weekday afternoon, traffic in Yancheng is not heavy.

A few minutes later, the car came to a steady stop in a parking space outside the Yunxi Building.

Lin Muxue calmly changed into the Christian Louboutin red-soled high heels that had been prepared.

She opened the car door and got out gracefully.

Looking at the familiar building in front of her, Lin Muxue smiled slightly and stepped forward.

She has a sexy and tall figure, delicate features, and expensive accessories and bags.

It attracted countless admiring glances along the way.

Lin Muxue maintained a distant and aloof expression throughout, perfectly embodying the image of a high-and-mighty beauty straight out of an urban workplace drama.

Many men who wanted to strike up a conversation stopped in their tracks.

After registering at the front desk, I took the elevator directly to the 30th floor.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened.

Lin Muxue took one last look at her makeup in front of the smooth, mirror-like surface of the elevator, a confident and sharp smile appearing on her face.

She and Gao Mengting were already "old acquaintances".

When she was working at Rongxin Venture Capital, I ran into her many times in the elevator of Yunxi Building, but we didn't know each other back then.

Beautiful women will always unconsciously compare and compete with each other.

However, when it comes to "appearance," Lin Muxue is second to none.

Even if Su Yu were to confront her directly, she would only temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

After several months apart, it's time for the evolved Emperor Muxue to give the other party a little shock.

I turned around and walked into the company gate of Songmei Apparel.

The pretty receptionist immediately stood up. "Hello, how can I help you?"

"I'm looking for your General Manager Gao," Lin Muxue said calmly. "My name is Lin Muxue, and I have an appointment."

"Hello, Ms. Lin!" The receptionist's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately said respectfully, "Mr. Gao has already given instructions, I'll take you there right away."

The crisp sound of high heels rang out as the two walked forward along the spacious, brightly lit passageway.

Along the way, it attracted the curious attention and hushed whispers of many employees.

Outside the vice president's office.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Please come in."

The receptionist opened the door and gestured for us to enter.

Lin Muxue nodded her thanks and walked into the office with elegant and confident steps.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the figure slowly walking out from behind the large desk.

She wore a simple white silk shirt and a black high-waisted pencil skirt that accentuated her shapely hips.

Her long brown hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, hanging down her back. She wore no extra accessories, and her face was only lightly made up, yet she exuded a gentle and beautiful aura.

Her outfit today is the standard "Director Kim" style.

Add to that the equally neat hairstyle, exquisite makeup, and somewhat similar soft and beautiful face...

Standing in a luxurious office overlooking the city skyline.

In a daze, she resembled Kim Mi-so quite a bit.

Lin Muxue's eye twitched, and she subconsciously took half a step back.

Good heavens! I went through all that trouble to bring you the house, and you...you actually let Xiaoxue cosplay for me?!
Or is it the person I fear most when I cosplay?!

If you were to ask who she fears most now, it might have been Tang Song in the past.

But now, none other than Director Kim is the right choice.

Startled by the other party's words, all the little schemes in my mind were instantly forgotten.

I got a clear look at Lin Muxue's appearance.

Gao Mengting's face also showed a look of astonishment.

Of course she remembered this "sassy" finance woman.

The other party even "took the wrong turn" once and came to the Songmei Clothing store on the 30th floor.

She never expected that this woman would become Tang Song's assistant.

Recalling the way Tang Song looked at the other person in the elevator earlier.

Gao Mengting felt a complex mix of emotions.

I can roughly guess the true relationship between the two.

Lin Muxue straightened up, took two steps forward, and with a slightly unnatural smile on her face, took the initiative to say, "Hello, Mr. Gao, let me formally introduce myself. I am Lin Muxue."

"Hello, Gao Mengting." Gao Mengting pursed her lips, shook hands lightly with the other person, and her face did not reveal much emotion.

The two exchanged a few brief pleasantries.

Gao Mengting gestured to the sofa next to her, "Assistant Lin, please have a seat. Would you like something to drink?"

"Just plain water will do, thank you."

Gao Mengting poured her a glass of warm water, and the two sat facing each other on the sofa.

They could both see a subtle scrutiny and inquiry in each other's eyes.

Yet they all tacitly refrained from breaking through that thin veil of secrecy.

After a moment of silence.

Gao Mengting said gently, "Assistant Lin, thank you for your hard work. It's such a small matter, and you've gone to so much trouble to handle it personally."

"Mr. Gao, you're too kind. This is no small matter. Our General Manager Tang specifically instructed that this matter must be handled properly and that there must be absolutely no oversights."

Hearing this, Gao Mengting couldn't help but smile. "Then please thank your CEO Tang for me. By the way, which neighborhood is it?"

Finding a place to live is actually a very troublesome thing.

Location, environment, decoration, price...

Finding a set that perfectly suits your needs requires a lot of effort.

Tang Song's initiative in helping her resolve this problem saved her a lot of energy.

"Cloud Top Mansion." Lin Muxue placed the file bag in her hand on the coffee table.

“Cloud Top Mansion?” Gao Mengting paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, “I’ve heard of this name before. It seems to be one of the first truly ‘quasi-fourth-generation residences’ in Yancheng.”

As the hottest high-end residential project in the area recently, the promotional advertisements for [Cloud Top Residence] have covered almost the entire CBD.

She had previously seen promotional display boards in the lobby on the first floor of the building.

The location is indeed excellent, right next to Metro Line 1, only five or six kilometers away, making it a prime location in the city center.

"Yes, that's right." Lin Muxue's face had regained its professional and composed smile. "The design concept of the entire community is very advanced. Each household has a rooftop garden where they can plant trees and flowers, and the greening rate is extremely high. Moreover, the property management services are on par with top-tier luxury residences."

Gao Mengting nodded: "Rent a house here? I remember... this house was just handed over last month, right? Are there already rooms available for rent so soon?"

Lin Muxue couldn't help but smile and pushed the file folder towards Gao Mengting.

"It was indeed handed over last month. This is a small gift that Mr. Tang specially prepared for you. I hope you like it."

"Hmm?" A hint of doubt flashed in Gao Mengting's eyes.

I opened the file bag and took out the files inside.

Then I saw the words "Commercial Housing Sales Contract".

Everyone was stunned.

"This, this is..."

Lin Muxue's tone was calm and nonchalant:

"Mr. Gao may have misunderstood. Given Mr. Tang's personality, how could he possibly help you rent a house? That wouldn't be in line with his status."

He contacted senior executives at Handing Group directly and reserved a residential unit they had reserved in your name.

The apartment is on the 21st floor, a spacious 200-square-meter flat with four bedrooms, two living rooms, and three bathrooms. It is fully furnished, well-ventilated, and includes a 30-square-meter rooftop garden.

Mr. Tang has already paid for the house in advance; all you need to do is sign this contract.

After speaking, Lin Muxue gracefully picked up her water glass and took a small sip.

He glanced at her shocked expression and felt extremely pleased.

乛乛

How about that? Were you scared?
You think you can scare me by cosplaying as Director Kim?

Emperor Emu Xue is no pushover!
Gao Mengting stared blankly at the lines of glaring text on the contract, her not-so-full chest heaving violently.

Cloud Top Mansion…200-square-meter luxury apartment…Her name…Tang Song full payment…

A house like this would be worth at least six million on the market.

Although, based on the current valuation of Songmei Apparel, her 20% stake theoretically makes her a "billionaire".

But this is just paper wealth; the company's rapid expansion in the early stages meant there was no possibility of any dividends.

Her money basically came from that high salary.

In the past two or three months, she has just paid off all the debts she incurred from starting her business, and now she only has about 100,000 yuan in savings.

She never truly considered herself a rich person.

Of course, she also fantasized about what kind of house she should buy when she actually had money in the future.

How should we decorate? Where should we put her favorite bookshelf? Where should we grow some elegant flowers? Where should we put a beanbag chair where she can curl up and bask in the sun?

But now, suddenly being hit by a mansion made of real gold and silver by Tang Song, her mind is in a daze.

More often than not, people are at a loss.

"This... Assistant Lin... you're not joking, are you?"

"Of course not." Lin Muxue's face wore the professional smile of a top assistant. "The stamp from Handing Group has already been affixed. Mr. Gao only needs to sign this contract, and this house will belong entirely to you. You don't need to worry about any of the subsequent procedures such as payment invoices, property certificate processing, and property handover. I will arrange everything."

Gao Mengting bit her lip hard and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I need to make a phone call to Tang Song."

"Yes, go ahead."

Gao Mengting took her phone, turned around, and walked quickly towards the lounge inside.

Watching her figure disappear through the doorway, Lin Muxue's face lit up with joy.

This time, she felt no jealousy whatsoever.

Because... she herself also holds a "property check" that is about to be cashed.

Tang Song personally agreed that she could choose any city, regardless of its location.

There were no regulations regarding area, price, or anything like that.

In other words, even if she chooses a large apartment or even a villa in a top-tier city, the promise can theoretically still be fulfilled.

If it were two months ago, she probably would have made such an outrageous demand.

But after being reprimanded by Director Jin, she is no longer the Xiaoxue of the past.

If she is truly greedy, not only will her behavior be unsightly, but she may also give other "love rivals" (especially Shen Yuyan) something to use against her.

So after much deliberation...

She decided to keep the total price of the property under ten million.

It satisfies one's vanity without appearing overly greedy.

As for the city, it's definitely Shanghai!

She could live in the Lanfeng International Luxury Apartment in Yancheng for the rest of her life, as it was originally a property of Tang and Song.

But Shanghai, that dazzling, materialistic shopping paradise, is the perfect stage for her.

She longed for that place, had many old friends there, and could occasionally go there to show off.

Even just two nights ago, she couldn't resist and seemingly casually posted a status update in the "socialite groups" and "rich second-generation friends' circles" she used to frequent:
I'm considering buying a property in Shanghai recently, cash only, with a budget under eight figures. Do any of you ladies have recommendations for good developments or private listings? (#^.^#)

Goodness, the scene was so pleasurable that she almost drew a map on her own bed.

I was so excited that I kept fiddling with things for a long time before I finally fell asleep.

Thinking about the prime real estate she was about to own, Lin Muxue couldn't help but clench her thighs together.

An excited flush rose on her face.

Once she has this house, she will immediately return to her hometown and make a grand and thorough triumphant return!

O(∩_∩)O haha~
Just as she was in a state of high excitement.

The phone in my handbag suddenly rang.

Lin Muxue quickly coughed lightly, suppressing her inappropriate excitement.

I opened my LV bag, took out my phone, and glanced at the caller ID.

It's Ms. Ouyang's secretary, Chen Jing.

Tang Song's trip to Chengdu was coordinated by her and the other party personally, and the two had quite a lot of contact.

She answered the phone quickly, her voice gentle and standard: "Hello? Secretary Chen."

"Hello, Assistant Lin." The voice that came through the receiver was a mature woman's voice, full of magnetism and mellow texture.

Lin Muxue's heart skipped a beat, and almost instinctively she stood up from her chair, her back ramrod straight, and said nervously, "Ms. Ouyang! Hello!"

"Hehe, don't be nervous." Ouyang Xian Yue's voice was much more intimate than last time. "How have you been lately? Busy with work?"

"It's alright, not too busy."

After exchanging a few words about Tang Song's recent work arrangements, Ouyang Xian Yue seemed to suddenly remember something and, in a seemingly casual, friendly tone, slowly said:

"By the way, Assistant Lin. I heard that recently... it seems like you're planning to buy an apartment in Shanghai?"

hum-

Lin Muxue's heart pounded wildly.

She only showed off in her small "socialite group" and private circle of friends, and she blocked most of the people she might have crossed paths with.

How did this story reach Ms. Ouyang's ears?!
Who?! Who leaked the information?!
Emperor Mu Xue, who has recently been schemed against by Xiao Jing, Shen Yuyan, and Mo Xiangwan, has developed a stress response.

"...Yes, there is such a thing," she forced down the storm of emotions in her heart and explained in a dry voice, "but it's not certain yet, it's just an idea, and... my budget is limited, it's just a few million for an ordinary property."

“I see.” Ouyang Xian Yue’s voice was completely calm. “Coincidentally, I have a small, vacant apartment in Shanghai. It’s not big, less than 100 square meters, and it’s located in the IFC Mall in Lujiazui, with a fairly open view. I remember when I bought it, the market price was only a few million. This apartment is registered under my private investment company’s name, so there are no purchase restrictions, and the equity transfer can be processed directly. The procedures are very simple. If you think it’s suitable, I’ll transfer it to you at the original price, which can also be considered as helping me dispose of an idle asset.”

Hear this.

Lin Muxue blinked incredulously, her mind going blank for a moment.

What do you mean?
Ms. Ouyang is actually going to sell me her apartment in Lujiazui?

Moreover, if such a high-ranking person can personally speak up, the price must be extremely favorable.

After all, everyone is now officially part of the "Tang Jin family," so they're practically family.

Lin Muxue's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

That's Lujiazui!
Even a small serviced apartment was enough to cause a sensation on her social media.

Most importantly, this is Ouyang Xian Yue's house.

It's ridiculously high-class.

From now on, it will just be background noise when I say it.

It is far more valuable than the house itself.

If Su Yu or Mo Xiangwan wanted to sell her house, she would absolutely not dare to agree.

After all, that would offend Director Kim.

But Ms. Ouyang is different!

This 36-year-old lady is the chairperson of Tangyi Precision.

They can't possibly get involved in some messy palace intrigue, can they?
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
