Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets-Chapter 1646 - 573: Fame in Xiang River (Part 1)
...
Shen Yuyan’s lips curled into a faint smile, her expression steady and focused, her tone both rational and relaxed.
She nodded in response from time to time, extracting key points, occasionally adding details, her words clear and organized, her demeanor efficient and confident.
Like a fish in water.
Lin Muxue stood beside her, trying her best to maintain a graceful smile, but felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
She understood, but more of "understood the surface."
One reason was her lack of familiarity with the ongoing projects of the company; another was that she could only grasp some professional terms by relying on her previous memorization of materials, unable to delve deeper, exposing her shortcomings once she spoke.
In contrast to Shen Yuyan—
She was an entrepreneur who fought her way up from the front line, having experience with financing and diligence sheets.
Even complex terms in betting agreements, she could swiftly dissect the core logic.
Financing pace, valuation anchor points, IRR, buyback mechanisms, holding proportions...
She spoke with ease, and others listened naturally.
Lin Muxue suddenly felt a bit dazed.
Only on the third day at Xiang River, Shen Yuyan had already established herself in the executive circle at headquarters. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
No need for deliberate disguises and flattery, she could integrate herself with content and skills, master the pace, and earn respect.
In contrast, she, the "Chief Assistant," held the VP title, but felt like an ornament, a mascot.
No wonder Shen Yuyan stayed up late reading materials, getting up before dawn.
An unprecedented sense of crisis crept up, enveloping each inch of her thoughts.
If the trend continued, Shen Yuyan would soon truly occupy the position of "assistant."
Perhaps... she’d really gradually take over her position.
Tang Song had promised to train her into "the closest personal assistant," but that was before Shen Yuyan.
This green tea is quite attractive, a school beauty during Tang Song’s university days, sharing the ties of friendship.
If her outstanding performance changed Tang Song’s mind, then...
Thinking of this, Lin Muxue felt chilled to the bone, a coldness rushing from her feet straight to the top of her head.
Good for you, scheming bitch!
No wonder the workplace is fighting back in overcompensation, you’re going after my Emperor Muxue!
She absolutely couldn’t sit idle!
But in terms of ability, she was indeed not as good as Shen Yuyan.
In this aspect, she was naturally at a disadvantage, needing to change her perspective.
Lin Muxue’s thoughts spun quickly, gradually calming down.
Facing Shen Yuyan, her biggest advantage was her relationship with Tang Song and her connections with Tang Song’s other women.
Ultimately, Tang Song was fundamental.
She had to tightly guard this point, provide more "emotional value and life connections beyond work," something Shen Yuyan could never match.
But that wasn’t enough.
She had to catch up, get up to speed.
Initially, the Imperial College MBA was only a backdrop for bragging about her status and posing, coming to Xiang River was for vlogs and TikTok.
But now it seemed she couldn’t remain inactive.
This MBA, she needed to truly learn something.
She had to ensure "Emperor Muxue" fit her persona.
Besides, another point was crucial—rebuild "sense of status."
She was not a mere running companion or a desk-side ornament.
She was Chief Assistant, VP-level management, essentially Shen Yuyan’s actual superior.
If that’s the case, she had to, from the posture of a "higher position," suppress this scheming green tea’s ambition!
She took a deep breath, her gaze instantly clear and sharp.
Seizing the brief moment as everyone changed topics.
Casually interjecting, "Shirley, I’m quite interested in this investment project, I’d like to discuss it with Mr. Tang alone later on. Please prepare a complete set of materials and send it to my email by the end of the day, remember, it must be detailed."
Shen Yuyan was slightly startled but quickly recovered, smiling and nodding: "Sure, no problem."
Lin Muxue appeared natural, smiling and nodding to the senior executives present, then gracefully turned to leave.
Back at the office.
She immediately put away the camera, turned off the viewfinder, and her desktop instantly returned to calm and professionalism.
After settling in, she opened Imperial College’s online learning system, entering the corporate finance module.
Putting on her headphones, she began to seriously attend class.
The strong desire to win, sense of crisis, raised her emotions and improved her memory.
This was a state she hadn’t felt in a long time.
She suddenly remembered how she was when she first joined Gathering Emotion Gold.
Back then, she seized every moment to memorize vocabulary, attended English intensive courses, got familiar with project deal cases...
Indeed, she wasn’t a naturally talented player, but she did strive.
When did she start to slack off?
[Exclusive Credit Black Card]
It was when she got this card, with a monthly limit of 150,000 US Dollars, unmatched VIP treatment.
During this time, her email was filled with invitations from luxury goods SA and private bank customer managers.
Various things she previously wanted but couldn’t afford were now all on her, in her home.
In fact, she had floated to the sky.
Due to her upbringing, she was most sensitive about money, and it’s what brought her "security" and "satisfaction."
The appearance of this card gradually distorted some of her thoughts.
Tang Song noticed this aspect in Whisper of Human Nature, which was why he consistently suppressed her growth speed.
If she had achieved financial freedom like Zhao Yaqian right from the start, she’d probably be swallowed whole by desire, becoming solely a pleasure-seeking "socialite."
However, Shen Yuyan’s appearance, her résumé, ambition, and strong actions forced her to wake up.
