Chapter 2175 - 706: Return in Triumph to Hometown, President Shen

Yan Province Financial Center, Tower A, 50th floor.

Rongliu Capital.

Chief Assistant’s office.

"...That’s basically the situation, President Lin."

"Got it." Lin Muxue sat upright in her office chair, expression meticulous. "Send the final version of the BP to my email, I’ll communicate with President Tang."

"Okay!"

After the project manager left, Lin Muxue finally let out a long breath, her body slightly relaxing.

Her long legs stretched lightly under the desk, lazily doing a little stretch.

She picked up her mug, took a sip of tea, and out of the corner of her eye noticed there was a new message on the computer screen’s WhatsApp.

It was that self-media blogger she’d bumped into on the plane.

[Yi Lin VC: "Ms. Lin, hello! The interview video we shot that day, I’ve done a rough cut and sent it to your email. Please take a look and see if there’s anything you want adjusted."]

The corners of Lin Muxue’s lips lifted slightly as she opened her inbox.

She checked the email.

The finished video quality was excellent, with smooth editing rhythm, classy BGM, and a filter full of cinematic feel.

And the version of herself on camera—be it looks, aura, or conversation—perfectly presented a "highly educated elite woman" image.

Perfect!

Looking at the final cut, a sense of pride and delight surged in her heart.

If this goes out, it’s definitely going to blow up!

If they add her ID and do a "co-create," gaining tens of thousands of followers wouldn’t even be a problem.

But that thought only flashed through her mind, and she quickly pushed it down.

No, that’s too deliberate, not high-level enough.

Right now her persona online is "low‑key finance executive," she has to maintain that sense of mystery.

Better to wait until after the video is released and have the almighty netizens "dig up" her identity themselves. That’ll feel more natural, and more in line with the Emperor Muxue level of sophistication.

She chatted briefly with Yi Lin, raising a few small suggestions about transitions.

After closing the video, Lin Muxue opened the latest business report for Snow Candy Culture that Xu Ning had sent, and started reading carefully.

Relying on the huge resources of the Yan Nan Short Film and Television Base, Snow Candy Culture had long since grown from that initial "makeshift troupe" into a professional actor management company with stable cash flow.

It had signed dozens of short-drama actors with real potential and was already somewhat well-known in Yan City’s entertainment circle.

The key thing was—the company had started turning a profit!

Looking at that beautiful net profit figure, her eyes sparkled.

The era of Xue making big money was finally about to arrive.

This is the beauty of having resources!

O(∩_∩)O haha~

Just as she was mapping out the next step in the company’s development—

"Bzz bzz bzz—"

Her phone suddenly started vibrating.

[Bro]

Seeing the caller ID, Lin Muxue froze for quite a while before slowly picking up the phone.

But she and this older brother had grown up together after all, and their relationship had always been good.

She resented their parents’ favoritism, yet could also understand the helplessness of a man burdened with a mortgage and family responsibilities.

She pressed her lips together and answered.

"Hello."

"Hello? Xue? Busy?" Her brother’s familiar voice came from the other end of the line, thick with dialect and careful probing.

"I’m okay. What’s up? Something going on?"

"Ah, nothing big... just wanted to ask how you’ve been lately. Work going smoothly? I’m so busy over here, wanna come see you but just don’t have the time..."

"Everything’s good, things are all fine on my side." Lin Muxue’s tone remained even.

There was a pause on the other end, then his voice turned lighter: "Oh right, Xue, let me tell you something. Jiajia from Auntie’s family is getting engaged this weekend. It’s at that Shangri-La Hotel here in Chang’an. You should come back for it too. Weren’t you always saying you wanted to go eat there and check in? This time you’ve got the perfect chance."

Chang’an... Shangri-La... engagement...

Hearing this, a glint flickered in Lin Muxue’s eyes, and her long legs crossed together subconsciously.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Okay, got it. I’ll come back this weekend."

"Really?! That’s great!" Her brother’s voice was full of surprise and joy. "That’s great, Xue! I’ll go tell Mom and Dad right away!"

"Alright, I’ve got to get back to work."

"Okay okay, get busy then."

She hung up.

Lin Muxue’s long, beautiful legs tensed up without her even noticing.

A look of eager anticipation spread across her face.

She’d already been planning to take some time to go back to Chang’an to inspect that luxury house in Swan Bay that Jing had gifted her.

And while she was back, she could also properly "settle" the past grudges with her parents and relatives.

She knew in her heart that was her home, after all. It was impossible to stay angry and never go back for the rest of her life.

All that talk about breaking off ties back then was just her holding in that breath, thinking that once she made it big someday, she’d make them all regret ever shortchanging her.

Now, the timing seemed about right.

It was about time to let that breath out.

And next week she was heading to France with Tang Song to inspect Tang Jin Manor.

After that would be the Smile Holding shareholders’ meeting in New York.

This weekend was basically her only free slot, and she’d still been a bit on the fence.

Now that her cousin was getting engaged, it was a perfect opportunity.

From a rural girl clutching 500 yuan of living expenses, carefully budgeting in the school cafeteria, to today’s Emperor Muxue.

She, Xue, had been out there hustling for so long—wasn’t it all for this very moment?

Next, she needed to properly plan this "triumphant return" of hers.

She had to give them the biggest shock possible!

With that thought, she felt lighter all over.

She spun excitedly in her chair, then immediately instructed her credit card concierge team to book tickets, and started planning the look and itinerary for this "triumphant return."
