Chapter 399 - 399 243 Joining the Company Past and Present_3
?Chapter 399: Chapter 243: Joining the Company, Past and Present_3 Chapter 399: Chapter 243: Joining the Company, Past and Present_3 Fingers sliding across the screen, Lin Muxue opened the latest preview video.
“How are those classmates from high school doing now? Six years after graduation, I’ve turned my classmates into Mystery Boxes.”
“No matter where you are, I want to see what you have become.”
“Da-da—” Two arrows were launched simultaneously.
Immediately after, a ticket to a Su Yu concert appeared on the screen.
“Hehe, next up is Yan City! While attending Su Yu’s concert, I will also visit two of my high school classmates.”
“Swoosh—” A photo from high school appeared, seemingly with added effects, carrying traces of time.
“Li Da! The former top student of the class, graduated from a prestigious 985 university and joined a listed medical equipment company, now serving as a middle manager at the Yan City branch.”
“Swoosh—” Another photo of a girl appeared.
“Lin Muxue! The prettiest girl in our class, now a top executive at a large financial company after completing her associate degree, living in a luxury house, driving a luxury car, and also a self-media practitioner.”
…
Lin Muxue quickly hit pause, looking at the screen at a younger version of herself in a school uniform, her gaze somewhat distant.
She couldn’t remember when the photo was taken either.
Back then, she had been so pure, without all the scheming she has now.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t as lucky as Qianqian; she didn’t meet Tang Song until she had already become what she was now.
Vain, fake, boastful, posing…
A complete mess.
“Whew~” Taking a long breath, Lin Muxue pursed her lips firmly, feeling an unexpected rush of emotions.
Her growth had not been smooth sailing.
Coming from a poor family, scrimping and saving, using hand-me-down hundred-yuan knockoff phones from relatives.
Her parents always told her to eat her fill at school and not to compare herself with others.
Heaven knows how she could even think of comparing with a measly 350 yuan per month for living expenses?
She couldn’t even afford to buy clothes or jewelry.
She never dared to discuss her family’s situation with her classmates, nor would she join them for meals, much less invite them over to her home.
Because she was sufficiently beautiful, she often received confessions from both familiar and unfamiliar people.
Among them were many popular and handsome male classmates.
Some girls who were jealous of her would often mock her.
Like He Xiaohui, who back then had a face full of freckles and was a bit chubby.
It’s worth mentioning that she was also one of Chen Siyue’s interview subjects.
Now, after successful weight loss and light cosmetic treatments, plus heavy makeup and beauty filters, she looked drastically different from her high school days and could be considered a beauty.
With a rich second-generation boyfriend and tickets to Su Yu’s concert in hand, she was the perfect template of a rags-to-riches story.
The drastic changes made the video very compelling and it was the highest-liked video in Chen Siyue’s collection.
Lin Muxue knew without thinking that He Xiaohui definitely wanted to come to Yan City to show off in front of her and to reveal her true self.
She opened the comment section of the preview video.
[“Graduated from an associate degree two years ago? Top executive at a large financial company? Honestly, I think the odds are lower than winning the lottery!”]
[“This female classmate is so pretty! Seeking her TikTok ID!”]
[“Blogger, I think you might be making a mistake with this Mystery Box, at least I don’t believe this Lin Muxue is really some high-level finance executive.”]
[“Want to know if this girl is real or fake, Siyue please update quickly!!”]
…
Most of the comments below are about her.
Some netizens also mentioned her @LunaSnow, which is her TikTok ID.
As for all this, Lin Muxue was well prepared.
Though she was just an ordinary little web celebrity, with the internet being so transparent nowadays, many things simply can’t be hidden and are easily exposed.
This was exactly what she had feared the most in the past.
Once her associate degree was exposed, her image as a high-finance expert would fall apart.
She clicked on the avatar of “Chen Siyue baby” to enter her live broadcast room.
In the video, Chen Siyue sat in a high-speed train seat with He Xiaohui beside her.
“Right, Lin Muxue herself told me this!”
“And you can check out her TikTok, it’s really exquisite and glamorous, I believe what this old classmate says.”
“Anyway, look forward to it, everyone, Siyue will arrive in Yan City by 1 p.m. and will try to have a live chat in the evening to share the feelings of the reunion.”
…
After watching for a while, Lin Muxue exited the live broadcast room and put away her phone. She got up from the couch.
Before she realized it, it was nearly 9 o’clock; time to leave.
With her Hermes Birkin on her shoulder and high heels in hand, Lin Muxue walked purposefully towards the exit.
Having descended the stairs, she pulled out a delicate LV umbrella, walking through the mottled shade of trees leading into the YJTC residential complex.
Arriving at building one, she took the elevator directly to B1.
In the warm yellow light, the Glacier White Bentley Continental GT shone like a dazzling pearl, emitting an irresistible charm.
Her hand holding the car keys pressed a button, and the lights blinked as the car unlocked.
Elegance, the pinnacle of elegance.
Her fingers gently traced the Bentley badge, shaped like a pair of wings on the front of the car.
Following the sleek side lines to the left side of the car, she gently pulled open the door and gracefully seated herself inside.
Surrounded by the luxurious interior, her hand found the steering wheel.
“Vroom vroom—” The engine roared to life.
Lin Muxue squinted her eyes, her face flushing with excitement.
The tires rolled over the asphalt, creating a rhythmic noise.
As the Bentley Continental left the underground parking garage, the brilliant sun instantly submerged the car body, reflecting a dazzling light.
The vehicle moved forward smoothly and powerfully, while 20 high-quality Naim speakers released a gentle stream of music.
Wrapped in the comfort of the leather seats, Lin Muxue’s gaze drifted outside the window.
