Approaching 9 o’clock in the morning.
Sunlight stread through the gauze curtains onto the floor, giving the room a cozy warmth filled with the tranquility and brightness unique to autumn.
Shen Yuyan sat on the beige sofa in the living room. Beside her were neatly placed a commute bag and a suitcase, and she held a folder printed with the [Rongliu Capital] logo, her expression focused and serious.
This was the latest quarterly personnel appointnts and organizational restructuring from the headquarters in Xiang River.
During her ti at the company, she had co to understand the capital structure of Rongliu Capital inside out.
Tang Song himself held 60% of shares, and he also controlled 20% of the employee stock ownership platform (CC Partnership), which together equaled 80% of controlling rights.
And these changes in equity all occurred over two months ago.
In other words, Tang Song only truly took control of Rongliu Capital two months ago.
As a private equity firm with $2 billion in assets under managent (AUM), it could be considered middle-sized, but still quite impressive.
After all, Tang Song is only 26 years old!
Although he is now based in Yan City, it’s clear he already sees this company as the foundation and backing of his career.
She believed that 26-year-old Tang Song would not be satisfied with just this.
One day, Rongliu Capital would step onto the world-class private equity stage.
This was her opportunity, and why she was so eager to go to the headquarters.
She needed to seize the chance before Lin Muxue, the "pretentious showpiece," to establish her reputation, expand her influence, and gain the upper hand at the Xiang River headquarters.
Unfortunately, she still couldn’t shake off Lin Muxue in the end.
But fortunately, Tang Song needed soone who could truly get things done, and in that regard, she felt very confident.
"Ding dong—" The WeChat notification sound rang.
[Bai nglin: "Yuyan, I’ll probably get off work at 6 PM. Rember to contact when you arrive in Xiang River."]
Seeing the ssage from her old classmate, Shen Yuyan’s lips curved up subtly.
She quickly typed: "Okay, nglin, see you tonight!"
Just after sending the ssage.
"Ring ring—" The phone suddenly vibrated.
[Lin Muxue]
Answering the phone, Shen Yuyan said gently, "Hello? Luna, have you arrived?"
A cool voice ca through the receiver, "Almost there, five minutes."
"Okay, I’ll co down right away."
The mont she finished speaking, the call was directly hung up.
Shen Yuyan pressed her lips together, her expression darkening slightly.
This Lin Muxue really has so nerve, going out of her way to pick up but acting so cold on the phone, who is she trying to show off for!
She stood up, grabbed her prepared commute bag and suitcase.
After a final check of her belongings, Shen Yuyan walked to the wardrobe mirror, briefly adjusted her outfit and hairstyle, and proceeded downstairs.
The suitcase wheels made a faint sound on the stone pavent.
Shen Yuyan crossed the stone path to the South Gate of the neighborhood.
Raising her head, she glanced at the neighborhood where she had lived for over three years, inevitably feeling a bit sentintal.
North City Garden wasn’t exactly a high-end neighborhood, just a typical high-rise residential area that’s been around for 11 years; the environnt was alright.
Most importantly, it wasn’t far from her alma mater, Yan City University of Science and Technology.
Initially, she chose this place because of her familiarity and comfort with the surroundings.
But now... it’s ti to leave.
For soone as ambitious and eager to rise as her, leaving was never a regret, but a new beginning.
Just then, the sound of tires rolling across the ground approached.
A Maybach S-Class glided forward, its glossy black body reflecting light like a mirror, exuding a powerful presence.
The silver double M emblem on the hood glimred sharply under the sunlight, as it ca to a stop in front of her.
Shen Yuyan raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a vague premonition.
The window lowered, revealing a delicate profile.
Lin Muxue sat elegantly in the back seat, dressed in a new season tailored suit from Dior, her expression aloof and composed, embodying the deanor of a female CEO from a TV drama.
She slightly turned her face, her gaze swept over indifferently, with just one glance making Shen Yuyan’s heart skip a beat.
"Get in, Shirley." Lin Muxue spoke calmly, her voice cool and restrained, carrying an undeniable authority.
As if addressing a subordinate.
Yet, unseen by others, her toes were already curling tightly, her legs unconsciously rubbing together, suppressing the excitent and anticipation within.
Struggling to restrain her increasingly high emotions.
anwhile, the driver’s door opened, and a uniford driver swiftly got out.
Expertly handling Shen Yuyan’s luggage, he placed it in the trunk and circled back to the rear door, opening it for her.
Politely, he said, "Miss Shen, please."
"Thank you." Shen Yuyan let out a small sigh before bending to enter the car.
The luxurious and comfortable leather seat enveloped her instantly, the air filled with a faint fruitwood fragrance.
"Bang—" the door closed softly.
Shen Yuyan turned her head to Lin Muxue beside her, speaking gracefully, "Good morning, Luna, thank you for the special trip."
"No problem, since we are traveling together, naturally I’ll take care of you." Lin Muxue’s mouth curled slightly as she nodded towards the driver, "Let’s go."
The Maybach started smoothly, the street outside slowly receding.
Shen Yuyan held back a twitch at the corner of her mouth, resisting saying anything.
Good grief! So that’s why you went out of your way to pick up!
You just wanted to flaunt the luxury car ride!
Just going to an airport, did you need to book such an expensive ride?
What a damn show-off!
Lin Muxue glanced sideways at Shen Yuyan, her eyes quickly scanning her expression, her heart brimming with satisfaction.
She’d had the co-branded credit black card for so ti, but today was her first ti embarking on a formal outing in "noble status" mode.
It was ti to enjoy the privileges and glory that belonged to Emperor Muxue!
