Chapter 1656: Chapter 576: First Love’s Silhouette (Part 2)

Refreshing.

The atmosphere on the terrace became increasingly lively, with glasses clinking and lights intertwining.

”Luna, Shirley, are you interested in taking a look at our new energy project layout in the SEA market? I can have the team send over a summary for you.”

”I wonder if Rongliu’s new GP structure this round will consider introducing external strategic LPs?”

...

Lin Muxue maintained her graceful smile, elegantly raised her glass for a gentle toast, but did not give a substantial response.

Shen Yuyan stood aside, occasionally inserting a few well-timed jokes, subtly steering the topic away.

Their coordination was just right, leaving everyone puzzled.

However, only they knew the reality; they had just learned about this and couldn’t make out much either.

Fortunately, with Cheng Siman present, no one was too aggressive, and everyone appeared amicable on the surface.

After a round of pleasantries.

The vigor among the crowd seemed to slightly ease, the fervor gradually turning to relaxation.

Cheng Siman clinked glasses with everyone and softly said, ”It’s getting windy outside, shall we go inside for a bit?”

As soon as she spoke, the conversations around were toned down.

Lin Muxue scanned the night view of Central with relish and smiled, ”Indeed, the wind is starting to blow, let’s continue drinking in a private room then.”

While speaking, she turned to Shen Yuyan, ”Shirley, would you like to join us inside?”

Shen Yuyan pondered briefly, then said to Ji Yingying and Bai Menglin not far away, ”I’m going inside to chat with friends.”

Ji Yingying looked slightly uneasy, a half-hearted smile on her lips, ”You go ahead.”

Bai Menglin’s eyes showed a hint of unease and complexity, as though she had something to say but chose to hold it back at that moment.

She hesitated for a moment but still said softly, ”I’ll wait here for you, see you later.”

She had extremely important things to say to Shen Yuyan, but the occasion was clearly inappropriate now.

Yet afraid to miss this chance, she could only wait here rigidly.

After a few brief farewells, the crisp sound of high heels on the floor and the ”click” of the glass door closing slightly insulated the hubbub.

On the terrace, discussions resumed.

Some people also picked up their phones and began dialing.

...

The four walked through an elegant corridor to a discreet yet stylishly designed private room deep on the fifteenth floor.

After everyone was seated, the server quickly brought over several glasses of decanted red wine, and the atmosphere immediately calmed.

Shen Yuyan sat on a single sofa in the corner, slightly adjusted her sitting position, and looked at Bei Yuwei beside her, ”Hello Yuwei, I’ve seen your ’Leisurely Listening to Falling Rain’, it’s really fantastic. And my best friend is your hardcore fan, often cosplaying your ancient costumes at home.”

Bei Yuwei was momentarily stunned, then smiled broadly, ”Really? I’m very honored.”

Shen Yuyan smoothly picked up her phone, ”Is it okay to take a picture? She’ll be jealous knowing I met you tonight.”

”Of course.” Bei Yuwei leaned over, the two took a few selfies together, and successfully added each other on WeChat.

Only then did Shen Yuyan sip her wine, preparing to relax her mood slightly.

She soon noticed on the main sofa opposite.

Cheng Siman was sideways, chatting softly with Lin Muxue, her tone gentle, occasionally clinking glasses, smiling happily.

Compared to the restrained polite atmosphere on the terrace, at this moment they exuded warmth and intimacy.

Shen Yuyan’s eyes flickered, swiftly concealing the complex emotions within her heart.

What a mystery!

She didn’t fail to understand Lin Muxue’s ”acting”; she had seen too many pretentious women, and she herself had vanity and fantasized about being worshipped by stars.

But what she couldn’t comprehend was, how did Lin Muxue ”act” to attract so many top-tier big shots to be her stooges?

Back at the fashion show in Yan City, Zheng Qiudong and Shangguan Qiuya were exceptionally courteous to her.

She could reasonably explain that, with Tang Song present, Lin Muxue as an assistant would naturally be given some courtesy.

After all, Tang Song was indeed impressive.

Anne Kate, heir to Kate Trust, was one of his behind-the-scenes supporters.

Rongliu Capital’s capital structure, this time’s billion-dollar capital injection...

All indicated he was truly at the ”pinnacle of capital.”

Yet this time in Xiang River, Tang Song wasn’t present at all.

Lin Muxue could still have Cheng Siman personally accompany her for a drink and chat, Mo Xiangwan busy with her schedule personally welcome her at the airport.

This completely overturned her logical understanding.

She had delved into investigating Lin Muxue.

Originating from a small town in Shan Province, her current household was still under a community collective in Yan City.

The records showed an adult bachelor’s degree, most of her resume spent on administrative tasks at a financial company.

The first ”on stage” position was being a Committee Assistant at Gathering Emotion Gold.

That was also an important leap in her life, of course, thanks to Tang Song’s ”appreciation,” it goes without saying.

Ordinary WeChat moments loved flaunting wealth, showcasing handbags, filming hotels, checking into high-end places.

A typical ”boss’s lover,” top-grade looks, high emotional intelligence, skilled at reading the room, a high-class vase.

This was understandable, even commonplace.

Like earlier when Wang Yubo offered her an olive branch, the role he envisioned was exactly like Lin Muxue.

Providing emotional value, gaining material returns.

Spoiled, having certain usefulness in work, yet never truly admitted to the inner circle.

It was because of this understanding that she worked so hard to present herself.

Striving for the Yanzhao Youth Entrepreneurship Support Plan, painstakingly developing connections to showcase value.

Taking a light sip, Shen Yuyan jokingly remarked, ”Luna, I’ve never heard you mention, you also know President Cheng. Tonight truly shocked me.”
