Chapter 1647: Chapter 573: Fame Spreads Across Xiang River (1)

The skyline outside the window glowed with a faint golden hue.

Shen Yuyan sat at her desk by the window, her fingers swiftly moving across the keyboard.

After organizing and sending the documents one by one to Lin Muxue’s corporate email, she exhaled a long breath.

In any case, at the headquarters here, she couldn’t afford to expose any discord with Lin Muxue.

Once the core executives at headquarters noticed, it would not only affect her professional image but also likely displease Tang Song.

She paused slightly and reopened the saved company organizational chart.

Gazing at the organizational chart list, her gaze gradually became deep and pensive.

Having stayed at the headquarters for two days, she had already noticed some ”abnormal details.”

For example, the unusually low attendance of the executive team.

Theoretically, with her and Lin Muxue both representing Tang Song with the title ”assistant” at the Xiang River headquarters, it should have been an opportunity for the core executive team to show up, or at least a token welcome arrangement should have been made.

But reality was far from that.

The Vice President in charge of fundraising Simon, the head of the Mergers and Acquisitions and Cross-border Investment Department William Zheng, the General Counsel for Legal Compliance Liu Jiachen, HRD Yao Meicun...

All seven executives she marked as ”key figures” on the organizational chart were absent.

It wasn’t due to leave or shifts but a ”collective disappearance” without any indication.

She had casually mentioned this to Vivian and others in the pantry but was met with responses like, ”Not too sure, seems like some internal transfers,” or ”They’re involved in confidential projects, probably can’t disclose anything.”

Ambiguous, evasive.

Yet the more vague it was, the more it indicated something unusual.

Based on her judgment, these people were likely temporarily reassigned to participate in an extremely important, incredibly sensitive capital operation or strategic project.

The project might impact the stock market trends and Rongliu Capital’s future development, hence why there was an internal ”blocking order.”

Upon this thought, Shen Yuyan’s mind began to race.

This is an opportunity.

Although she wasn’t sure about the specific content, she could at least affirm that this was a highly valuable ”information gap.”

It’s the key to breaking free from Lin Muxue’s shadow!

Tang Song is about to arrive in Xiang River.

Then, perhaps she could probe subtly under the guise of ”assisting headquarters affairs.”

At this moment.

”Buzz buzz buzz—”

The phone screen vibrated and lit up.

Shen Yuyan glanced down; someone had mentioned her in the Class 2 of First Middle School alumni group.

She opened the group chat interface and messages popped up one after another:

[Cheng Ziwei: ”@Shen Yuyan @Bai Menglin @Ji Yingying, I just heard you all are in Xiang River now? Wow, the three most impressive girls from our class are having a reunion.”]

[Yingying and Yuyan are also in Xiang River? Is it for business trips?]

[It’s a pity I’m busy with work, or I’d definitely join, I’m so close by in Shen City.]

...

Shen Yuyan raised an eyebrow and directly opened Ji Yingying’s Moments.

Sure enough, a recent post popped up, posted two hours earlier.

[Ji Yingying: ”Landed in Xiang River, excited to meet two high school friends while on this business trip.”]

Below was an old photo from high school—a group photo of her, Bai Menglin, and Shen Yuyan.

Youthful and radiant, strikingly beautiful.

Clearly, this spirited high school rival was beginning to set the stage for her ”glorious return.”

In fact, she and Ji Yingying never really got along.

Unlike her, Ji Yingying came from an extremely affluent family, with parents in industry and assets over ten million yuan.

Generous, loves luxury brands, ambitious and proud, a typical ”beautiful and rich girl.”

During school, Ji Yingying was extremely conscious of her ”presence,” often clashing with her.

After graduating high school, the two had hardly any contact.

This trip to Xiang River was clearly aimed at her.

At this moment, another alert popped up in the group.

[Bai Menglin: ”@Yuyan it’s not really a business trip, she’s recently made a career move to an assisting director position at a private equity firm headquartered in Xiang River, impressive! Right at the IFC in Central, so we’ll probably meet more often.”]

As soon as this message was sent, the group chat exploded.

Shen Yuyan’s eyes gleamed slightly, her lips curving in a subtle smile.

Immediately, Ji Yingying replied.

[Ji Yingying: ”@Yuyan, quite the secret, but great news! I’ll host tonight; the three of us should meet up and celebrate you!”]

[Shen Yuyan: ”If it’s to celebrate me, then I should treat you two.”]

[Ji Yingying: ”I handle investor relations at my company, often hosting clients, have some resources in this area, so let me arrange it. How about ’Huaxia Club’ in Central Xiang River? You and Menglin are right nearby.”]

With her words, the group buzzed again.

Many, unfamiliar with the name, began to search it.

Within minutes, screenshots flooded the chat.

Looking at her classmates’ screenshots and explanations, Shen Yuyan quickly understood the restaurant’s background.

It’s one of the most iconic high-end private clubs in Xiang River, located on the 13th to 15th floors of the old Huaxia Bank building in Central.

Invitations are strictly controlled, with membership fees once reaching 150,000 HKD, comprising financial elites, tycoons, and celebrities.

A typical gathering place for capital and elite circles.

After a moment of deliberation, Shen Yuyan replied: ”Alright, thank you, Yingying, for the generous offer.”

”Buzz buzz buzz—”

A new message popped up.

[Lin Muxue: ”Shirley, I’ve read your email. Some parts aren’t very clear; could you come to my office?”]

Shen Yuyan glanced at the message, her lips curling slightly, she stood up and picked up her laptop, heading out.

Arriving at the office next door, she lightly knocked on the door.

”Luna.” She greeted warmly.

”Shirley.” Lin Muxue sat elegantly behind her desk, gesturing to the nearby seat, ”Come on, there are a few things I’d like to consult with you about.”

”Okay.”

Once they were seated side by side, Lin Muxue indeed raised questions one by one, from structural explanations to data logic, asking in detail and uncharacteristically sincerely.

Shen Yuyan slightly raised her eyebrows, explaining while observing Lin Muxue’s expressions, yet ripples arose within her.

Previously, Lin Muxue, although appearing aggressive, was straightforward and easy to handle.

Now, with this unexpected change, she was harder to fathom.

Who knows what she’s plotting?

The sky gradually darkened.

Close to the end of the workday.

Lin Muxue closed the materials in her hands, turning with a smile, ”Thank you, Shirley, let’s have dinner tonight at Long Jingxuan, you’ll definitely love it.”

Shen Yuyan shook her head, ”Sorry Luna, I have another high school friend who just arrived in Xiang River, I’m meeting her for dinner at Huaxia Club.”

”Oh?” Lin Muxue raised an eyebrow, her smile unmoved, ”Then forget it, I’ll treat you another time.”

”Sure.” Shen Yuyan glanced at her watch, ”I need to pack up and get going, see you, bye-bye.”

”Bye.” Lin Muxue watched her back, her thoughts slowly floating.

Huaxia Club?

She’d heard of it for a long time and was actually quite interested in joining the fun.

At this moment.

”Ring ring ring—” the phone rang.

[Mo Xiangwan]

Lin Muxue immediately answered, ”Hello, Sister Xiang Wan.”

”Good evening, Muxue, have you gotten off work yet?”

”Yes, just finished tidying up.”

”Here’s the thing.” Mo Xiangwan’s voice was always gentle and steady, ”For tomorrow’s LVMH private dinner, I’ve arranged for two people to accompany you to help you network.”

”Great, thank you, Sister Xiang Wan, for the trouble.”

”No need to be so formal, they’ll add you on WeChat later.”

”Got it, thanks.”

”Alright, get some rest, bye-bye.”

”Bye-bye.”

Soon after the call ended.

A friend request popped up on the WeChat screen.

Seeing the nickname and profile picture, Lin Muxue’s heart skipped a beat.

[Bei Yuwei/requested to add you as a friend.]
