Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

”Robert.” Tina smiled as she greeted an elderly gentleman dressed in an exquisite tweed suit, ”Let me introduce you to a new friend of mine, Luna Lin, who has recently joined our business school. Luna, this is Robert Hamilton, the dean of our business school.”

The dean immediately stood up enthusiastically, ”Welcome, Luna. I’ve heard of your name, a core executive at Rongliu Capital. We are very keen to welcome capital forces like yours, with a global forefront vision, to join our community.”

Lin Muxue’s heart was racing, ”Mr. Dean, you flatter me. Imperial College’s academic achievements in the field of financial technology have always been something I deeply admire.”

”This is Professor Philip, last year’s Nobel Prize winner in Economics. His research focus is behavioral finance—very intriguing...”

”Oh, this is Sir Allen, the Cabinet Undersecretary of the Treasury...”

After bidding farewell to the academic circle, Tina then brought her to another area, dominated by youthful faces, with a noticeably more vibrant atmosphere.

This is the new aristocracy gathering place in London Financial City.

Hedge fund managers, financial technology entrepreneurs, venture capitalists...

Under Tina’s guidance, she received unprecedented high-level courtesies.

And the title of Rongliu Capital’s Chief Assistant brought her enough weight and respect here.

Lin Muxue felt her adrenaline surging wildly through her veins, Emotionally High.

The whole person was in a dreamlike, unreal state.

Behind her, Wang Si, who was neglected, had stopped at some unknown time.

She stood dazed, watching Luna move freely and radiantly through the crowd.

Watching her chat and laugh with those figures she looked up to.

Finally, painfully understanding, no matter how both are assistants to ”gold masters,” no matter how both walk ”special paths”...

They are fundamentally people from different worlds.

...

The alumni event proceeded methodically.

From the dean’s passionate speech and the school’s annual report to the wisdom-filled thematic sharing by heavyweight guests, and finally the dazzling honor banquet...

When the banquet officially ended, and most guests contentedly left by car.

Lin Muxue, however, along with a few core circle members, was respectfully invited to a private library on the third floor of the manor’s main building.

To attend a more private small gathering.

After some pleasantries.

Tina personally poured Lin Muxue a glass of top-tier red wine from Bordeaux’s Petrus winery.

”Cheers.”

”Cheers.”

”Clink~” The crystal glasses gently collided under the warm light.

Lin Muxue lowered her head and took a sip, the rich complex fruit aroma and silky tannins instantly blossoming between her lips and teeth.

Tina swirling the red liquid in her glass with a hint of a smile, said: ”In fact, I personally handled your enrollment procedures. So, I might know you a bit more than you think.”

Lin Muxue’s heart skipped a beat, feeling honored and surprised, ”This is such an immense honor for me. Thank you, Dame Tina.”

”Don’t be nervous, no need to thank me. I received ample compensation for it. You are a very interesting girl, Luna, I think we will have more engagements in the future.”

”I think so too.”

Both sitting side by side on a soft silk sofa, in front of them, the fireplace emitted warm lights and heat.

Outside the window was the manor’s lights under the night sky, exquisite and magnificent.

After a long silence.

Tina suddenly spoke, her tone relaxed yet meaningful: ”Luna, what do you think of this manor?”

Lin Muxue was startled for a moment, then immediately replied, ”It’s breathtakingly beautiful. It’s not just a manor; it’s like an inheritance of history and glory, inspiring.”

Tina listened and smiled faintly, ”Soon, you will come in contact with a manor that is bigger and prettier than this.”

”Uh?” Lin Muxue didn’t understand what the other meant.

Tina set down her glass, slightly turned her body, her gaze becoming solemn, ”I came to London this time, aside from attending the alumni event, I actually have another main purpose.”

”Please go ahead.” Lin Muxue immediately sat up straight, knowing that she was finally getting to the main topic.

Such a clever person, the other party’s initiative to approach herself, being so enthusiastic, how could it merely be just ”making friends.”

She even felt that tonight’s alumni event might have been intentionally arranged by the other party for her, in this ducal manor.

”Do you know Tang Jin Manor?”

Lin Muxue’s heart suddenly skipped wildly as she shook her head, ”I don’t.”

Tina raised her hand with a smile.

Not far away, a man who had been standing quietly all along walked over quickly and respectfully handed her an iPad.

Tina casually took it and placed it directly in front of Lin Muxue.

”Take a look, get familiar with it in advance.”

Lin Muxue, with some trepidation, took the cold tablet.

Swiping the screen, an encrypted electronic document slowly unfolded.

Immediately, her eyes suddenly widened, and her face slightly reddened.

The screen first presented her with majestic aerial images of the architecture.

Lavender fields, olive groves, private vineyards, a giant artificial lake...

And on this vast land, stood a magnificent main residence.

A palace-like structure even more luxurious than Liz Hotel, with an independent health management center, heated pool, art gallery, and multi-layer underground cellar inside.

Over a dozen independent villas scattered around in different architectural styles:

From French classical to modern minimalist to Tuscan pastoral, each can be considered a work of art.
