Chapter 165: Chapter 154: The Soon Intersecting Us 3 Chapter 165: Chapter 154: The Soon Intersecting Us 3 YJHT. Lin Muxue got up early. She drank a cup of black coffee to awaken her body. She styled a neat ponytail, put on tight Maza fitness clothes, and sports shoes. She went downstairs and jogged along the plastic track in the neighborhood. Under the stifling air, she soon began to sweat all over. Standing under the shade of trees, looking at the towering Building 1 in front of her, Lin Muxue’s eyes filled with longing. YJHT consists of one large flat building and six western-style houses. All the flats in Building 1 are premium residences of Yan City, and she dreamed of living in such a spacious house. She returned to her rented room. She opened the refrigerator and mixed yogurt, protein milkshake, blueberries, and nuts together. A satisfying breakfast was ready. Maintaining a good figure is not easy. Especially since she had to attend an investment conference today, a good image was essential. Next, she set up her phone and started filming today’s vlog. She began recording the process of washing up and skincare. Yesterday at the dandelion, she picked up a skincare product advertisement, and she had to film it today. As a girl with both excellent figure and looks, monetizing in today’s environment isn’t difficult. With over ten thousand followers on Little Red Book, she was already considered a small KOC, earning around six thousand a month. Due to her persona, she didn’t stream much, and with low-quality fans, it was hard to monetize on TikTok, earning just over five thousand a month. Adding to her salary, she made about sixteen thousand a month, which let her live quite comfortably. However, she loved luxury goods and had a high-profile personality and couldn’t resist packaging herself. To maintain her persona as a wealthy, knowledgeable financial woman, and for the enjoyment of being praised. She spent a lot each month on rent, shopping, maintenance, and travel. Of course, many luxury goods, hotels, and luxury cars were rented for photoshoots with others in the “socialite group.” She changed into a black ladies’ suit, carried her Dior bag, and went to the gate of the community to hail a taxi to the Cloud Stream Building. The weather was getting hotter, and since she was dressed in formal attire today, walking there would ruin her appearance. During the morning rush hour, the center of Yan City was extremely congested. Lin Muxue took out her phone and opened Little Red Book. First, she looked at the compliments under her own videos, which filled her with satisfaction before returning to the homepage and aimlessly scrolling. A somewhat familiar photo made her finger pause. The cover was a comparison photo of a boy in four stages of weight loss. She opened the note. [Title: “Day 42 of Heeding Advice, Fitness Results Summary”] She zoomed in on the first photo. Looking at the recent selfie that revealed a slight six-pack, Lin Muxue raised her eyebrow. It was the boy she had bumped into outside Hongfu Breakfast. The reason he was memorable was that she felt he looked familiar as if she had seen him before, but she couldn’t remember where. She opened his profile to look. All the posts documented his transformation and interactions with followers, a trend known as “listening to advice.” With less than two months since creating his account, he had already gained over nine thousand followers, and each post received many likes and comments, showing high engagement, which was very successful. From the photos on his “April” ID, it was evident that his previous living conditions were modest, but with this momentum, he might well become a full-time blogger and aim for 100,000 followers. This made Lin Muxue quite envious. She knew that followers on Little Red Book were quite valuable. If he reached 100,000 followers, he would be equivalent to a KOL in this field and would not lack commercial offers. Her focus was on beauty and fashion sharing, but she had no luck after persisting for half a year. Latter on, she joined Rongxin Venture Capital, changed her strategy, crafted a persona and kept updating, and finally accumulated over ten thousand followers. She arrived at the company and entered the small conference room. Manager Guo Wenlei reiterated the work details, after which everyone set off for the Roadshow Center. In the Audi A3L on the move, Li Xuejiao, who was driving, asked with a smile, “Muxue, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you drive the Porsche Cayenne; did you change cars again?” Lin Muxue pursed her lips and answered with a light laugh, “I had a little accident the last time I drove, and it left me a bit traumatized; I haven’t wanted to touch a car recently.” “I really envy you, working to enjoy life and yet so popular.” The two female colleagues in the back also chimed in with their thoughts. “Muxue, there are so many young and talented guys in our company, haven’t you taken a fancy to any of them?” “I think Gu Cheng and Li Songwen are really good; one is a hot investment manager, and the other is an audit supervisor.” Hearing their discussions, Lin Muxue just smiled and didn’t respond. They arrived at the Roadshow Center. The team quickly got to work. Familiarizing themselves with the venue layout, preparing welcome signs, name tags, materials, setting up the registration desk... Once everything was ready, and looking at the upscale conference environment, Lin Muxue took out her phone to continue shooting today’s vlog. ... Huayun Center Block A. Xie Shuyu looked at Tang Song quietly sitting on the couch, her eyes filled with satisfaction and admiration. This company’s part-time programmer seemed to refresh her impression every time she saw him. Especially his speech this morning was outstanding. From the initial unkempt, introverted tech nerd, to the gradually cheerful big boy, and then to the bright-eyed, confident, and handsome young man. This meeting was even more exaggerated; whether it was his eloquence, demeanor, or external appearance, he had surpassed most of the people she knew. Combined with his age and technical level, he was undoubtedly a very outstanding young talent. Such a technical director would undoubtedly add a lot to today’s roadshow. She even felt now that her $3000 monthly salary was somewhat of an insult to him. Once this negotiation was over, it would be appropriate to give him a raise, and if the company’s financing succeeded in the future, it wouldn’t be bad to poach him. “Knock, knock, knock—” The sound of knocking came. Immediately after, a neatly dressed female assistant walked in, “President Xie, it’s almost time, President Gao and his team are ready.” “Okay,” Xie Shuyu stood up from the boss chair and nodded toward Tang Song. The three of them walked out of the office and joined two other senior executives for the elevator downstairs. The underground parking garage. The female assistant got into the driver’s seat of the BMW 7 series. Xie Shuyu pulled open the rear passenger door, waved at Tang Song, and smiled, “Take my car, let’s finalize the details in the back.” With such a great opportunity, Tang Song naturally wouldn’t refuse; he opened the other side door and got in. This was his first time entering Xie Shuyu’s car, an executive sedan worth a million on the road. The interior was luxurious, the seats were comfortable, and the overall feel was not too different from his own Mercedes-Benz S450. A faint scent of perfume filled the air, a warm woody fragrance mingled with subtle notes of vanilla and musk. Tang Song slightly turned his body and openly admired the female CEO sitting beside him. Black turtleneck, gray-striped women’s suit—she looked dignified, intellectual, a pleasure to behold. At around 30 years old, compared to the charming and seductive older sister Wen Ruan, Xie Shuyu appeared to be more incisive and confident. They were two completely different styles of matured beauties. Noticing Tang Song’s gaze, Xie Shuyu leaned back in her seat and laughed, “Although this roadshow is semi-official in nature, the atmosphere is very relaxed; just treat it as a business discussion. Don’t worry about issues, just talk about the advantages of our applet...” She advised Tang Song on what to watch out for like an elder, while giving him moral support, her eyes filled with encouragement and affirmation. Tang Song listened quietly, nodding occasionally. Xie Shuyu suddenly said, “By the way, Tiancheng Capital is also one of the organizers this time, but Lu Ziming’s experience is too limited, and he hasn’t graduated completely, so he’s not attending.” Upon hearing this, Tang Song was slightly stunned, “That’s a pity.” Recently, Lu Ziming had been busy with graduation work and work, and it had been a long time since they hung out together. As for this landlord and university roommate, Tang Song used to be very envious of him. No need to struggle hard like he did, studied the graduate program he was interested in, and before even graduating, his job, car, and apartment were all set up. Moreover, he was entering Tiancheng Capital, a top financial firm. Xie Shuyu and Lu Ziming’s sister were in a good relationship, and it was through this connection that he got the part-time job at Glimmer Coffee. “President Xie, we will arrive shortly,” the female assistant softly interjected. ... In the Audi A7. “We have only 25 minutes for the entire roadshow, 20 minutes for the project presentation, and 5 minutes for expert comments and investor interactions. You and I will go on stage together, we can freely allocate the time. Remember the points I told you, just state them as clearly and explicitly as possible,” Wang Ning nodded vigorously, confidently said, “Don’t worry, Yuyan, I have memorized everything, I can go off script.” Beside him, Li Meixia smiled, “Yuyan, with your appearance, as soon as you go on stage, you will definitely attract everyone’s attention, which will also give us extra points invisibly.” Shen Yuyan smiled; she always had confidence in herself; her only concern was Wang Ning. Since the interactive session might bring up technical aspects, and she didn’t trust Wang Ning to handle it alone, they had to go up together. Luckily, this networking event wasn’t too stringent; with her by his side, even a mishap could be timely rectified. “Comrades, we are about to reach our destination,” Shen Yuyan lifted her head and looked through the car window to the towering Dingshi Commercial Building, her heart rate incrementally quickening. She thrived in big moments—the more challenging it was, the more excited she got. The white A7 followed the traffic into the Dingshi Commercial Center. Hou Shaoyuan parked the car in the ground parking area, and the party of four got out. “Let’s wait a moment, Tianqi will arrive soon, and we can check in together,” Shen Yuyan nodded and pulled out a compact mirror from her bag to tidy up her shirt. Li Meixia put down her phone, her gaze sweeping around. Suddenly, somewhat excited, she pointed in a direction and said, “Wow, that sister’s outfit is so cool and beautiful I have to take a photo and buy the same clothes later.” The others, intrigued, also looked in that direction. Immediately, they saw a tall figure standing beside the BMW 7 series. A tailored gray-striped suit, coupled with heels making her nearly 180 cm tall, and an upright and elegant posture, she radiated charm from head to toe. Then, from the other side of the car, a man carrying a briefcase stepped down. Coffee-colored shirt, black trousers, coffee-colored leather shoes. His stature was tall and straight, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with handsome features. Shen Yuyan looked at the man and woman standing together and somehow thought of business elites and female CEOs from workplace idol dramas. Li Meixia whispered, “That handsome guy isn’t bad either, good posture and aura, just my type.” Hou Shaoyuan shook his head, “Meixia, judging by appearance isn’t good.” “President Hou isn’t bad either, he’s also my type,” Li Meixia giggled, covering her mouth. Wang Ning frowned slightly, feeling that this young man resembled an old classmate. Tang Song. To be precise, he looked more like Tang Song during his freshman and sophomore years. But apart from the facial features and height, the differences between the two were substantial. He had seen photos of Tang Song after graduation; he had gained a lot of weight and looked sloppy, far from being outstanding. As for this well-behaved student and introvert from college, he didn’t think much of him; unaware of worldly wisdom, he couldn’t do well in society.
