?Chapter 404: 244 Chapter 404: 244 “Yeah, this live stream is to see Lin Muxue for the first time in six years since graduation. She was once the poor student in class, and now, she’s a financial expert, a beauty with both brains and wealth.”
“I know everyone’s interested, so let’s start with a warm-up live stream, and look forward to the upcoming video, folks.”
Chen Siyue introduced the upcoming live stream enthusiastically, and the comment section was very lively.
[“A vocational school graduate becoming a financial company executive in just two years? I won’t believe it till I die! If it’s true, I’ll eat shit on live stream!”]
[“I’ve seen Lin Muxue’s TikTok; she’s very beautiful, no doubt, but she definitely lied about her job.”]
[“I don’t think it’s entirely impossible. Maybe she’s just lucky. I’ve seen this kind of person before.”]
…
Seeing comment after comment of debate, and more and more likes, Chen Siyue’s face lit up with a smile.
She began to share some of her memories of Lin Muxue from high school.
After all, it was a live stream, so when talking about an old classmate, she was still very gentle and friendly.
In her description, Lin Muxue was pretty, thrifty, loved beauty, and had poor academic grades. Her dream was to be a flight attendant or a model, yearning for a glamorous life.
She was the kind of real female classmate that everyone has encountered.
With her engaging story, she immediately pulled in the viewers’ empathy.
“I’m also looking forward to seeing the transformed Xue. It’s now 7 o’clock, let’s go meet this old friend!”
…
“Investing in hardcore technological start-ups is so challenging. The tech side keeps getting more complex, and for an analyst like me with a background in finance and law, there is so much to learn.”
“I heard from Jason that next month, Kate Trust will send over a group of frontline VCs. It seems the company is going to make major strategic adjustments.”
“Hmm, like the special fund set up all of a sudden. Luna, as a committee assistant, you must know about this, right?”
Lin Muxue twirled a strand of hair by her temple and replied with a gentle laugh, “Yes, I came here this time just for the operation of the special fund, I hope everyone will look after me in the future.”
The group continued to chat as they walked out the office door.
The conversation was centered around the new senior assistant.
Gathering Emotion Gold has a flexible working system: a two-hour lunch break. As long as you work more than seven hours a day, it’s considered a normal shift.
The working hours for employees in the Investment Strategy Department are mostly from 10 am to 7 pm.
In order to do a good job on the first task assigned by Tang Song, Lin Muxue stayed with them until 7 pm, even though she did not understand their work content. However, she recorded it on her phone, planning to listen to it several times more at night.
While waiting for the elevator, Lin Muxue gently opened her Hermes Birkin and took out her phone for a quick glance.
[Li Da: “Muxue, have you gotten off work?”]
[Mao Wenqiong: “Xue, we are in the lobby of CY Building. You’ll see us as soon as you come out.”]
Beyond that, there were many @ mentions of her in the high school classmates’ group.
Lin Muxue smiled faintly, only replied to Mao Wenqiong with “Waiting for the elevator,” and then put away her phone.
“Ding—” The elevator doors slowly opened.
A group of more than ten people entered.
Most of them were staff sent from the headquarters of the trust to Yan City, so they did not buy cars here.
They usually took taxis to and from work, which the company fully reimbursed, very convenient.
Lin Muxue looked up, her eyes focused straight ahead.
After spending a day working at Gathering Emotion Gold, mingling with the real financial elite, her mindset had subtly shifted.
Faced with the impending reunion with her high school classmates, she felt rather undisturbed.
…
In the lobby.
Mao Wenqiong checked her phone and murmured, “Xue is waiting for the elevator; she’ll come down any minute now.”
Chen Siyue looked at the camera with a bright smile: “Family, our high school friend Lin Muxue is about to appear. After six years, she’s transformed. Welcome everyone to join me in witnessing this reunion.”
Then, she flipped the live stream camera, pointing it towards the direction of the elevator shaft.
The live stream room got instantly lively.
Li Da, who had been standing in the corner, took a few quick steps to position himself next to the access control, showing off a self-consciously handsome smile, hoping to greet Lin Muxue as soon as she arrived.
A soft “ding” sounded, and the elevator doors gradually slid open.
Immediately after, the sound of numerous footsteps echoed as a group of more than ten people walked out.
Men and women were present, among them many foreigners.
Dressed appropriately, with remarkable bearing, the gentlemen in well-fitted suits and the ladies in tailored office skirt suits.
Expressions of indifference or concentration hung on their faces as they carried bags in hand.
They passed through the security gates and walked out.
Their steps were steady, composed, and confident as an intense aura of elitism enveloped them.
In the middle of the crowd was a woman wearing a high-waisted skirt.
Her features were sharp, makeup exquisite, and posture dignified and elegant, making her stand out from the rest.
She was surrounded by her colleagues who occasionally leaned in to exchange a few words, her gaze sharp and self-assured.
Standing nearby, Li Da was taken aback, hardly daring to approach her.
The Lin Muxue before him now seemed unapproachably superior.
Chen Siyue, who had been speaking eloquently, stopped her captivating speech and stared blankly at Lin Muxue in the crowd.
He Xiaohui’s eyes widened as if torpedoes were exploding inside her head.
Shadows of her high school self could be vaguely seen on her, but she had undergone dramatic transformations.
The current Lin Muxue made her vividly realize that they were simply not from the same world.
Lin Muxue paused, pointed in the direction of Chen Siyue, and said goodbye to her colleagues with a smile.
“Bye, see you tomorrow.” “Bye, Luna.” “Bye~”
Amid a chorus of warm farewells, Lin Muxue approached in her high heels.
She was dressed in a remarkably high-quality fashion outfit, holding a conspicuous Hermes Birkin bag in hand.
Wearing high heels, she stood nearly 180 centimeters tall, appearing tall and sexy, with a commanding presence.
In an instant, she captivated her three former classmates and the live stream audience.
“Wenqiong, Siyue, Xiaohui, long time no see,” Lin Muxue said calmly as she scanned over them, her demeanor nonchalant.
I, Emperor Muxue, have just become enlightened, and now I fear no one except Tang Song!
The classmate mystery box that has been pestering me for over a month, it’s time to give you all a bit of a shock!
The previously quiet live stream room suddenly erupted.
[“Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!”]
[“Where’s the netizen who said they’d eat shit? Come out quickly, with this posture you can tell she’s definitely not lying!”]
[“Is this Lin Muxue? Has she really changed that much since high school!?”]
[“So beautiful! Such a great figure and amazing charm! I’m about to become a fan!”]
…
Chen Siyue came out of her stupor, opened her mouth with a dry voice, “Xue, long time no see.”
He Xiaohui clenched her teeth, unable to utter a word, her gaze flitting away.
Seeing her old nemesis in such a state, Lin Muxue felt extraordinarily refreshed.
“Xue, are you working for a foreign company now?” Mao Wenqiong asked, swallowing hard, as she pointed at the departing employees of Gathering Emotion Gold.
When those people had passed by earlier, she had seen many carrying briefcases and work badges, speaking in English.
Lin Muxue nodded at her with a smile, “Yes, at Slover Trust, a trust fund company located in Xiang River.”
“That’s really impressive,” Mao Wenqiong said, her face full of wonder and envy as she looked at her outstanding former classmate.
Chen Siyue took a deep breath and quickly forced herself to adjust her attitude.
The familiar yet strange high school classmate, bantering with a group of financial elites, truly made an impact with that scene.
She checked the status of the live stream.
The popularity was growing, with the number of online viewers having surpassed 800.
She adjusted the camera’s position slightly nervously, “Xue, what position are you currently holding?”
Lin Muxue’s lips curled into a smile as she displayed her elegant blue and white work badge.
“Senior Secretary of the Trust Committee, helping to manage the Yan City branch office and specific trust funds.”
Then, she turned her gaze to the nervous He Xiaohui, looking down at her heavily made-up face.
She laughed lightly, “Xiaohui, didn’t you always clamor about wanting to see me? Why don’t you say anything now that you’ve seen me?”
“Long time no see, Xue,” He Xiaohui responded, her face flushing red, instinctively avoiding eye contact.
