Chapter 407 - 407 246 Barbecue Beer and Sleeping Together
?Chapter 407: Chapter 246: Barbecue, Beer, and Sleeping Together Chapter 407: Chapter 246: Barbecue, Beer, and Sleeping Together The commercial street was brightly lit, neon signs flickering in colorful lights.
Outside a high-end Western restaurant.
Lin Muxue’s left hand rested on her right arm, a carefree smile on her face.
“Initially, I was just interested in finance and self-studied some knowledge, but due to my lack of formal education, I couldn’t find a relevant job. At first…”
Chen Siyue held up a sports camera tripod, smiling, “So you’re saying, in addition to your own efforts, your boyfriend also provided substantial support in your career, right?”
“Yes, you could say that without his encouragement and support, there wouldn’t be a ‘me’ today.”
“It’s apparent; you are truly exceptional now, Muxue. I mean both your personal qualities and capabilities. So… let me ask a somewhat indelicate question last.” Chen Siyue paused and whispered, “Both I and the online audience are curious, as a senior executive in a finance company, how much is your monthly salary?”
Upon hearing this topic, bystanders Li Da, Mao Wenqiong, and He Xiaohui all perked up their ears.
What they were most concerned about, apart from Lin Muxue’s boyfriend, was her salary.
This was the most directly comparable aspect.
“If it’s inconvenient, just pretend I didn’t ask.” Seeing that Lin Muxue didn’t immediately respond, Chen Siyue hurriedly added.
“Heh.” Lin Muxue pursed her rosy lips, calmly said, “The salary structure is quite complex, but generally speaking, it meets the threshold of a million yuan a year, I’d rather not mention specific numbers.”
“Sss—” A sharp intake of breath echoed instantly around them.
He Xiaohui’s eyebrows twitched violently; she worked at a major local state-owned enterprise through family connections.
Comfortable and at ease, with a monthly salary of 7000 yuan.
The boyfriend she found was the son of a factory owner, with a car and a house, and he was also quite handsome.
Yet, her so-called advantages, in the face of a “million yuan salary” and “senior finance executive,” amounted to nothing.
Li Da’s face was tense, standing there with a flickering gaze.
Chen Siyue took a deep breath, “No wonder you work for a foreign finance company. Earning such a salary in Yan City, you could already be considered financially independent.”
“It’s okay; I can choose the lifestyle I want without compromising myself.”
Speaking of salary, Lin Muxue also felt a bit emotional.
She once toiled day and night, enduring hardships, all for the sake of earning money.
Now, with just a word from Tang Song, she had moved beyond her ordinary life to a new social class.
Fate truly was incredibly wondrous.
Chen Siyue turned the camera to face herself, walking along the brightly lit street, and recited a few stirring lines.
“Over six years ago, on a summer night, we sat in the study room, with the ceiling fan creaking overhead. We turned our heads towards the window, imagining the future.”
“More than six years later, seeing Lin Muxue again today, time has sculpted her into a figure beyond my imagination…”
…
After stopping the recording, Chen Siyue gave Lin Muxue an OK sign, “All set, we’ve almost finished recording this segment. Thanks, Muxue, for taking time out of your busy schedule for my interview.”
“You’re welcome.” Lin Muxue glanced at her watch, “I need to go now, so I’ll see you on Saturday.”
Chen Siyue smiled and said, “Tomorrow is already Friday, Muxue, do you have time tonight? After filming ‘Peaceful and far-reaching,’ I’d like to capture the glitz and glamour of a big city. Given your high-status lifestyle in finance, that would really showcase your style.”
“Oh? What do you mean?”
Chen Siyue excitedly said, “We could find a scenic bar, drink and chat about your current life. That way, on Saturday, we’ll only need to capture some scenes of your daily life, and it won’t overly disturb you and your boyfriend. I’ll intersperse the footage during editing; the effect will be absolutely fantastic.”
Hearing this, Lin Muxue was somewhat tempted.
She didn’t want to expose the large flat of YJTC on the internet too much; originally, she thought of just filming parts of the dressing room, bedroom, and living room, which would be shocking enough.
After some thought, she casually said, “I’m not sure if I’ll be free tomorrow night, we’ll see.”
“Alrighty, it’s all up to your schedule.” Chen Siyue quickly nodded.
“Well then, goodbye.” Lin Muxue smiled, nodding her head, and twisted her waist as she boarded the Bentley Continental GT parked in the parking spot.
“Goodbye~”
“See you, Muxue, thanks for hosting the feast today.”
Li Da vigorously waved his arm, shouting, “Goodbye Muxue, be careful on the road. You don’t need to worry about our classmates here; I’ll drive them back.”
“Beep beep—” The horn sounded.
The splendid LED lights lit up.
Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the car slowly started and disappeared into the night.
Li Da licked his lips, his face somewhat excited.
Right before Lin Muxue left, she honked twice; was she responding to me?
“Heh.” He Xiaohui gritted her teeth, “That Bentley Continental seems to have a Shanghai license plate. What do you think, could it be rented?”
Li Da shook his head, “I don’t think so because the license plate number is too good; in Shanghai, those who can get such a fancy number wouldn’t lack money. Moreover, with a million yuan annual salary, she wouldn’t do such a thing.”
His workplace, Huijiang Medical Equipment Headquarters, was located in the outskirts of Shanghai.
He Xiaohui, looking at the two men with faces of sycophants, sneered, “Who knows whether the million yuan salary is real, what if she’s just an ordinary employee?”
“Even if she’s just a small employee, that’s still pretty impressive for such a prestigious company,” Mao Wenqiong couldn’t help but blurt out.
Her eyes revealed thick, undisguised envy.
