Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 1021: Chapter 413: Charm 70, $10 Billion Private Equity Fund (Part 2)

“That’s so awesome!” Xu Ning couldn’t even focus on eating, she was trembling with excitement, “Xue, you’re amazing too! With such strong connections, we’re definitely going to make a lot of money!”

“Heh, that’s why you just need to work with peace of mind.”

“Mhm, got it!”

They finished eating their dinner slowly and carefully.

The two of them turned on the TV, munching on the fruit slices that came with the meal while watching a trending romance show.

Watching the amusing interactions of the guests on the show.

Xu Ning glanced at Xue beside her and suddenly asked in a low voice, “Xue, when you mentioned in front of Jiaojiao that you were going with your boyfriend to inspect the Yannan Film and Television Base, were you talking about that boss?”

Lin Muxue’s hand movements suddenly stopped, her sharp gaze turned towards her.

“Uh… I was wrong, I was wrong,” Xu Ning quickly apologized, “Sorry, I just wanted to show some concern for you.”

It was only during this lowest point in her life that she saw who her true friend really was.

She genuinely wanted to care for the other person.

Having been around the industry for many years, she had known quite a few who “made it.”

Even she used to think she had “made it,” but things mostly didn’t work out well.

Lin Muxue patted her on the shoulder and suddenly said, “You’re right, it’s him. Actually, it doesn’t matter if I tell you, since you’ll probably get a chance to meet him after the film and television base opens.

He’s the boss of the financial company I work for, everything I have now is thanks to him.

Job, Porsche 911, luxury goods…”

Her words were very calm, even carrying some happiness and joy.

Hearing her words, Xu Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, “Then… what is your relationship now?”

Lin Muxue was silent for a while, “It doesn’t matter.”

“I understand,” Xu Ning pursed her lips, “Xue, starting your own company is the right move, and it’s also a backup plan for yourself.”

“You’re overthinking it. I started the company purely to earn some money.”

“Alright.”

Looking at her former close friend, Lin Muxue gently bit her lip and suddenly grinned, “He told me today that he loves me.”

“Uh…” Xu Ning was stunned, somewhat not registering it.

“It’s nothing,” Lin Muxue stood up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

After saying that, she turned and headed to the bathroom, her steps appeared very light.

She was just too happy, bottling it inside felt uncomfortable, and she didn’t know who to share it with, so she could only share it with Xu Ning.

Watching her departure, Xu Ning felt a bit of heartache.

Xue was the prettiest among her friends, and there were many who wanted to keep her, but she had refused them all.

Because of the humiliation she had endured before, she was both insecure and determined.

In the end, she still ended up taking this path.

Even though Xue never talked about what kind of person the boss was, one could guess from small details.

He has a family trust company, drives a Rolls-Royce Phantom, manages Lanfeng International Hotel, and has now acquired a film and television base.

He usually doesn’t have time to be with Xue, only sending her a bunch of luxury goods on Valentine’s Day.

In her mind’s image, he should be a successful middle-aged man, probably around sixty years old, and likely has his own family.

In appearance, he might be a bit overweight, balding, but exudes a strong presence that keeps Xue in line.

She was this happy just from him saying “I love you.”

While she was lost in thought, a “didi” sound came from the door, the smart lock was being unlocked.

The door was gently opened.

A tall figure walked in; it was a tall guy.

The sudden change frightened Xu Ning, and she stood up with a start, grabbing the fruit bowl from the table, nervously looking at the entryway.

She shouted, “Who is it?!”

Soon after, the guy raised his head and looked over in her direction.

Xu Ning’s expression froze, and her eyes widened.

What a handsome little brother!

Around twenty-five or twenty-six, with bright eyes and a tall, handsome build.

Wearing a casual suit, he appeared elegant and noble, unbelievably handsome!

Even more handsome than all the male guests combined on the romance show earlier!

He was like a movie star.

Her sharp eyes noticed the high-end bespoke suit he was wearing at a glance.

She instantly felt at ease.

With looks like that and wearing such clothes, he couldn’t possibly be a bad person.

Their gazes locked.

The guy’s face broke into a bright and gentle smile, so dazzling she couldn’t look straight at it.

“Are you Xue’s friend? Sorry, I didn’t tell her I was coming beforehand; I meant to surprise her,” he said.

His voice was lovely, clear with a touch of magnetism.

Xu Ning blushed and said, “I’m Xue’s friend, she’s in the restroom right now. Uh… who are you?”

She pointed towards the door, a bit puzzled.

As the most high-end apartment building in Yan City, Lanfeng International’s security was undoubtedly top-notch; no one could possibly break in.

“Me…? Tang Song,” he blinked and softly said, “I’m her boyfriend, Tang Song.”

What? Boyfriend?!

Oh my gosh! Where did this one pop up from?!

Xu Ning stared at him blankly, her mind in disarray.

“Uh… I’m Xu Ning, currently temporarily staying with Xue,” she managed to say.

Tang Song raised an eyebrow, “Hello Xu Ning, I hadn’t heard her mention that before.”

“I only recently returned to Yan City,” Xu Ning replied, “Tang Song, please have a seat, Xue should be out soon.”

“Sure,” Tang Song nodded slightly, naturally sitting on the office chair and casually picking up a book from Lin Muxue’s desk, flipping through it.

Standing there, Xu Ning took a deep breath, unable to resist sneaking a glance at him.
