Chapter 1121: Chapter 439: The Path to Self-Destruction Already Chosen
“Nice!” Lin Muxue exclaimed softly, feeling completely at ease.
Once again, she could ride in Tang Song’s exclusive Rolls-Royce Phantom!
She felt her role as an assistant was becoming increasingly prestigious!
Then, Lin Muxue started browsing the internet for information about the business club. She also called customer service to inquire further. Once she was well-informed, she resumed studying professional financial terms.
Thinking about showing off with Tang Song later, Lin Muxue felt emotionally high.
This excitement significantly boosted her reading and memorizing speed.
As the end of the workday approached.
“Buzz buzz buzz—” Her phone vibrated again.
[Shen Yuyan: “Xue, are you free tonight? I’m in the financial center for some business. Would it be convenient to grab dinner together?”]
Lin Muxue raised her eyebrows slightly, a bright smile appearing on her lips, and replied, “Sorry, I’ve already planned to go to a business event with President Tang tonight, maybe next time.”
[Shen Yuyan: “That’s too bad. By the way, what kind of business event is it?”]
Her eyes sparkled as Lin Muxue replied earnestly, “Business secret, not convenient to disclose.”
After sending the message and seeing no reply from Shen Yuyan for a while, Lin Muxue tapped her toes on the ground, spun in her office chair, and couldn’t help but laugh twice.
Since their accidental meeting at the Hilton Hotel last time, Shen Yuyan had frequently tried to pry information from her.
This woman had an especially keen mind, always subtly inquiring about Tang Song’s affairs and their true relationship.
Lin Muxue could clearly feel that Shen Yuyan envied her.
This kind of admiration from a competitor practically made her feel like she was floating.
She went to the restroom and just got back to her desk.
The phone rang suddenly.
Seeing the caller ID, Lin Muxue quickly answered the call, “Hello, Jiayi.”
“Okay, I’ll be down right away, see you.”
Hanging up, Lin Muxue swiftly gathered her belongings, grabbed her bag, and hurried down the stairs.
She immediately spotted the Rolls-Royce Phantom in the depository area, its hazard lights flashing.
As it was near the end of work, people were bustling in and out of the office building entrance.
Lin Muxue raised her head, puffed her chest, twisted her slender waist, and gracefully sat in the front passenger seat.
As an assistant, she was quite sensible; if Tang Song wasn’t present, she wouldn’t presumptuously sit in the back.
Feeling the eyes from the onlookers outside the window, Lin Muxue pressed her thighs together tightly, a faint blush appearing on her face.
In a corner of the office building’s lobby.
Shen Yuyan looked at the slowly departing Rolls-Royce Phantom, her gaze dropping.
She had heard Xu Qing mention Tang Song’s Rolls-Royce before, but today was her first time seeing it; indeed, it was quite impressive.
“Yuyan, I’m very sorry. I really can’t help with this matter. The contingency clauses in your investment agreement are very clear, there’s no room for manipulation.” The young man sitting across shrugged helplessly, closing the document.
“I understand, thank you, Mingchen.”
“My suggestion is you seriously talk with Win-win Technology; perhaps there’s still a chance.”
“Yes, that’s the only option.” Shen Yuyan sighed, a faint bitterness on her face.
As days passed by with no improvement in performance.
Currently, she had no confidence in fulfilling the contingency clauses.
She had come here especially today mainly to talk to a friend in the financing consultancy business, hoping to find a way through other terms in the investment agreement to secure the second round of investment.
It turned out she was being overly optimistic.
Just at this moment.
“Ring ring ring—” Her phone rang.
It was Zhang Tianqi.
Shen Yuyan gestured to Song Mingchen, stood up, and answered the phone.
While walking out, she said in a low voice, “Hello, Tianqi, what is it?”
“Yuyan, I’ve got some news about Tian Jing that you asked me to look into.”
Shen Yuyan immediately perked up, “Go on.”
Soon, Zhang Tianqi’s slightly excited voice came through the receiver: “Her background is indeed significant; her father is Tian Chengye, the executive director of Zhongcheng Group, supervisor of Jinxiu Commerce, and a shareholder of Lingruan Technology… Yuyan, how well do you know Tian Jing? Our company has a lot of collaborations with Zhongcheng, so if there’s a chance, I hope you can introduce us…”
As Zhang Tianqi continued talking, Shen Yuyan’s heart sank little by little.
She knew Tian Jing had a big background, but she hadn’t expected it to be this big.
Though she was continuously striving to expand her social circle, her circle seldom included such prominent figures.
Having such a top-tier beautiful and rich girl as Tang Song’s girlfriend made her feel an inexplicable sense of inferiority.
…
6:40 PM.
The black Rolls-Royce Phantom came to a steady halt outside the “Jinglan Business Club.”
Lin Muxue quickly got out of the car, opened the rear passenger door, and helped Tang Song step out.
They walked into the spacious and elegant lobby of the club.
The high heels striking the natural marble floor produced a crisp “da-da” sound.
The interior decoration was beautifully done, combining modern simplicity with classical elegance, creating a comfortable and upscale atmosphere.
Under the guidance of the lobby manager in cheongsam, the two took the elevator to the 3rd floor.
Passing through the corridor, they arrived in front of a private room.
Lin Muxue lightly knocked on the door, gestured to Tang Song, and pushed the door open.
Entering the stable and grand private room.
He Jingping, waiting inside, quickly stood up and greeted them with a smile.
“Good evening, welcome President Tang, please come in and have a seat.”
“Good evening, Chairman He.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tang Song discreetly assessed this chairman of Huashang Clothing.
Though of short stature with greying hair, his gaze was sharp, speaking with a strong voice, appearing energetic.
