Chapter 327: Spirited and Ambitious! One Look and You’ve Got Me Exploding on the Spot!
The Porsche Sales Center in Yan City, located in the Chang'an District, spans an area of over 6,000 square meters. Its showroom alone covers nearly 2,000 square meters, capable of displaying up to 22 cars simultaneously. The primary colors of the exterior design are a classic black, white, and gray palette. The large glass curtain walls paired with metallic materials exude understated luxury and simple elegance.
A sleek black Mercedes-Benz E300L came to a steady stop outside the showroom. Lin Muxue, dressed in a stylishly sexy casual outfit, stepped out of the car. She casually closed the door, grabbed her Hermès Birkin bag, and walked towards the entrance.
The sensor-activated glass doors slid open smoothly, and a cool, refreshing breeze of air conditioning greeted her. As she entered, she was met with the sight of a spacious and extravagantly decorated showroom. Under the dazzling lights, rows of gleaming Porsches were on display.
Lin Muxue's sharp gaze swept across the luxury cars in the showroom. She didn’t often visit places like this. After all, she couldn’t afford the cars before, and merely test-driving one wasn’t her style.
“Welcome to the Porsche Sales Center, madam. It’s a pleasure to assist you. Is this your first time visiting, or do you already have a sales consultant here?” A young, handsome sales advisor quickly approached her, his tone polite yet enthusiastic.
Lin Muxue gave a slight nod, her expression graceful and composed as she replied calmly, “I have an appointment with your sales consultant Zhang Yujie.”
“Please wait a moment. I’ll go find Yujie for you.” The male sales consultant bowed slightly, though his eyes betrayed a trace of disappointment.
Working in luxury car sales had sharpened his judgment. From her Hermès bag to the Bulgari accessories she wore, he could tell at a glance that this was a wealthy woman who could genuinely afford these cars—and she was stunningly beautiful to boot.
Lin Muxue made her way to the lounge area and seated herself on a sofa. Her gaze, burning with excitement, fixated on the cars in the showroom—Cayenne, Panamera, the 911 series, the 718 series, Taycan…
Owning her own Porsche, particularly the 911, her dream car, was a thrill beyond words. Her heart still hadn’t calmed down from the excitement. Riding this wave of adrenaline, she’d even memorized more vocabulary on her way here.To her, it almost felt like she’d had a sudden “Eureka” moment recently. Watching American TV shows to pick up dialogues and memorizing words to expand her vocabulary had become incredibly effective. Her English learning was now progressing at lightning speed, and she could even carry on daily conversations with people like Zhang Lili.
Of course, when it came to finance-related professional terms, she still had a ways to go. But even so, it meant she could confidently socialize in the office without fearing behind-the-back snickers.
After all, Lin Muxue prided herself on her image. Nothing frightened her more than being humiliated or exposed.
“Ring ring—” Her phone rang abruptly. It was her friend, Zhang Xi.
Answering the call, Lin Muxue chuckled lightly. “Hey, Xixi, where are you?”
“Oh~ alright, just come straight in when you’re here. I’m in the lounge area of the showroom.”
“Bye-bye.”
As soon as she hung up, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed.
“I’m so sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Lin! I’m Zhang Yujie, your sales consultant.” A female sales advisor in a sleek black business suit and high heels approached with a bright, enthusiastic demeanor. “I just contacted the warehouse team to move your car to the delivery area and arranged your car pickup ceremony.”
“No worries. Thanks for your hard work.”
“One more thing—I’ll need your ID to prepare the sales contract and insurance documents.”
“Sure.” Lin Muxue gracefully stood, opened her bag with poise, and handed over her ID card.
The sales consultant received it with both hands and headed toward the office area.
Moments later, the earlier male sales consultant brought over a tray with a fruit platter and beverages, placing it gently on the table in front of her. His voice was warm and courteous. “Ms. Lin, let me know if you need anything at all.”
Lin Muxue nodded absentmindedly, completely uninterested in food or drinks. Her heart was entirely captivated by her car; she could barely wait to sit inside and experience it.
Before long, two striking figures walked through the revolving doors at the showroom entrance. Both were dressed in trendy, revealing summer outfits, carrying handbags with conspicuous designer logos. Their confident and composed demeanor was unmistakable.
Lin Muxue immediately stood up, her eyes bright with delight. She placed her bag in front of her and waved lightly. “Jiaojiao, Xixi, over here.”
“Hello, Xiaoxue.”
“It’s been so long, Xiaoxue.”
Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi waved back with smiles, stepping forward to meet her.
The three of them, who hadn’t met in a while, exchanged lively chatter, and the atmosphere quickly turned warm and friendly. They had known each other for almost a year, occasionally meeting up to hang out, and their relationship remained strong.
It didn’t take long for the two women to notice Lin Muxue’s transformation, their faces lighting up with surprise.
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas on her wrist, the Hermès Birkin in her hand, and the Bulgari necklace around her neck—these were all significantly more luxurious than what Xiaoxue used to wear.
But the most striking change was her demeanor—confident, composed, with a radiant gleam in her eyes. Compared to the Xiaoxue they remembered, she now exuded a captivating elegance.
Zhang Xi nudged Lin Muxue’s shoulder and curiously asked, “Why did you suddenly decide to buy a car? You never mentioned this before.”
Li Yujiao chimed in, “That’s right, Xiaoxue! What kind of car did you get?”
“You’ll find out soon enough.” Lin Muxue replied with a mysterious smile, her expression tinged with exhilaration.
In her carefully curated social media circles, she had always maintained a low profile—partly out of insecurity and partly to preserve her virtual persona. With friends like Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao, true White Rich Beauties, she had been cautious about showing off, worried she’d get exposed.
This caution had always left her a bit timid and reserved when interacting with them, instinctively placing herself in a weaker position. Whether it was choosing restaurants or activities, she always deferred to their preferences.
But from this day forward, things would be different.
At that moment, more hurried footsteps approached.
The sales consultant returned with her ID, handing it back to her with a smile. “Ms. Lin, everything’s ready. I’ll take you to pick up your car now.”
“Great.” Lin Muxue took a deep breath, her face lighting up with a brilliant smile.
“This way, please!”
Taking a turn through the showroom, the group stepped into a spacious and brightly lit car delivery area. There, a matte-gray Porsche 911 lay quietly in wait.
Under the lights, the matte-gray paint gleamed with a delicate, refined luster.
The car’s body lines flowed with a sleek, dynamic grace, every curve exuding breathtaking allure. It stood there like an elegant, noble lady, radiating an understated luxury. Surrounding it were flowers, balloons, and decorative ornaments, adding to its glamorous, beautiful appearance. Beside the car, a cardboard display featured the Porsche logo along with a clean and sophisticated message in bold font: “Congratulations to Ms. Lin Muxue on becoming a distinguished Porsche owner.”
Lin Muxue’s gaze was momentarily dazed, and she bit her lower lip firmly, constantly reminding herself: Maintain your composure! Stay graceful!
“Is that a 911? What a stunning color!” Zhang Xi’s eyes gleamed with envy as she tugged on Xiaoxue’s arm. “I remember we talked about the matte gray with red interior combo before. I can’t believe you actually got it, Xiaoxue!”
Next to her, Li Yujiao nodded in agreement. “It’s gorgeous. Xiaoxue, you’ve really outdone yourself.”
The two exchanged a knowing look, both catching the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
Truth be told, they had privately discussed Lin Muxue before. There had always been something... off about her. For instance, she rarely joined them for shopping trips, and she never agreed to travel plans. Deep down, they suspected she might be overstating her situation and wasn’t entirely what she claimed—a high-earning finance professional making over a million a year.
But this meeting completely overturned their assumptions.
A Porsche 911 like this wasn’t just a luxury car—it was an expensive dream car, even for them. Their families might be well-off, with assets in the tens of millions, but the cars they drove, gifted by their families after they started working, were all within modest budgets of a few hundred thousand yuan.
At just the right moment, the sales consultant Zhang Yujie spoke up: “Ms. Lin, this is your 2023 Carrera 4S 3.0T, featuring Bordeaux red leather interior, optional BOSE sound system, larger wheels, driver assistance system, heads-up display, and a power upgrade package…”
As she introduced the car’s specs, Lin Muxue stepped forward, gently running her hand over the car’s body. She felt the cold, solid texture under her fingers and stared at the iconic Porsche crest—a black horse and gold shield. Her gaze was distant, her body trembling slightly, overwhelmed with emotion.
It was hard to describe the turmoil inside her. Previously, her supposed Porsche was a 718 model, the same as Zhang Xi’s, but hers was rented from a dealership. For the sake of maintaining her image in videos, she would rent it for a few days at a time, always on edge, terrified of being found out and humiliated.
But now, she had skipped ahead, owning a Porsche 911 outright. The feeling was indescribable—something no one else could truly understand.
After going through the car’s features, the sales consultant handed over two documents. “Here are your order summary and configuration sheet. The options are nearly maxed out, and with the internal discount, the total cost is exactly two million yuan. Please inspect the car thoroughly. If everything checks out, we’ll proceed with the next steps and ensure your license plates are issued today.”
Hearing the two-million-yuan price tag made Lin Muxue’s heart skip a beat, heat surging through her body. Oh my God! she thought, No wonder Su Yu is into this guy! She had only confirmed the color and model over the phone before; she hadn’t expected it to come with so many added options. And all of this… cost money!
She had to admit, Tang Song was incredibly generous.
Feigning calm, Lin Muxue glanced at the documents briefly before nodding and carefully inspecting the car from top to bottom, ensuring there wasn’t a single scratch or dent.
“Click—click—click.”
The sound of photos being taken echoed continuously.
With her Hermès Birkin in hand, Lin Muxue took several photos with her new car from various angles. By 3:30 PM, the car had been successfully registered, and she received her driver’s license, the official green car registration book, and the keys to her Porsche.
She also made a quick mention to the sales team about “complimentary items,” resulting in her front trunk being stuffed with goodies—storage boxes, keychains, car models, backpacks, thermoses, hats, T-shirts, umbrellas… Everything the dealership could provide had been arranged for her.
Lin Muxue couldn’t stop smiling, her heart brimming with excitement. While these items were trivial compared to the car, they added to her sense of joy, making her experience feel complete from start to finish.
Additionally, she had officially entered the Porsche owners’ group chat. With the dealership hosting regular events, it also provided her with an excellent platform for socializing.
Leaning against the car’s side mirror with one hand, Lin Muxue beamed confidently. “Xixi, Jiaojiao, thank you both for coming with me to pick up my car. Let’s go—I’ll treat you to a full-body beauty spa, and afterward, I’ll take you to Lanque Western Restaurant at Lanfeng International for a feast.”
For as long as they had known each other, it had mostly been Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao treating her. Lin Muxue had only ever treated them to coffee or milk tea, leaving her with a sense of pent-up frustration. Today, she was determined to turn the tables.
“Which spa? Just send me the location on WeChat,” Zhang Xi said, waving her phone.
Lin Muxue opened WeChat and shared the location of Isha Beauty Salon. “This one—it’s the closest to Lanfeng International.”
Li Yujiao leaned over to glance and chuckled. “Isha Beauty? Haha, I’m a VIP there too. There’s a branch near my house.”
“Oh? Really.” Lin Muxue replied calmly, “The owner of Isha Beauty is one of my best friends. She’s a lovely person. I’ll introduce you both sometime. By the way, I’m also a shareholder member of the salon. Feel free to support the business in the future.”
“Uh…” Li Yujiao and Zhang Xi exchanged glances, suddenly feeling that Xiaoxue was a bit… unfamiliar now.
Opening the car door, Lin Muxue was greeted by the luxurious and refined ambiance of the interior. The premium leather seats were soft and comfortable, with hand-stitched seams that were intricate and smooth.
The dashboard and central console layout were minimalist yet brimming with a sense of technology, the silver metallic accents striking a perfect balance against the Bordeaux red interior. It was as though she was sitting in a meticulously crafted piece of art.
Her fingers lightly gripped the leather steering wheel as she started the ignition.
“Vroom—vroom—”
The low and powerful roar of the engine reverberated in her ears.
The dashboard instantly lit up, and a flurry of indicator lights blinked alive.
Lin Muxue’s face flushed slightly, her heartbeat racing as adrenaline surged through her veins. Her emotions peaked at this moment, reminiscent of the exhilaration she felt playing ball with Tang Song when reaching the climax of a match.
Under the watchful gaze of the sales staff, Lin Muxue gently pressed the accelerator and smoothly drove away.
In the VIP suite of Isha Beauty Salon.
Lin Muxue arranged the most premium full-body spa treatments for all three of them. As a shareholder member, she had access to an exclusive service channel that allowed her to customize her treatments, all at a 40% discount. With her current salary and benefits, she could easily afford such indulgences.
The high-end ambiance, soft lighting, soothing music, aromatic fragrances, refreshing fruit platters, and exquisite snacks all complemented the experience. Lin Muxue lay on a plush massage bed with her eyes slightly closed, chatting idly with Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao while feeling the silky smooth massage oils glide across her skin. She felt utterly relaxed, her thoughts crystal clear, and her mood completely uplifted.
By 6:00 PM, the three of them had finished all their treatments and exited the salon under the staff’s polite farewells. They got into their cars and headed toward Lanfeng International Hotel.
Ten minutes later.
Two cars, one following the other, pulled into the underground parking lot. Since it was Saturday, the B1 level was already full. Inside Lin Muxue’s car, the BOSE sound system softly played soothing music.
Driving her Porsche with utmost care, Lin Muxue cautiously backed into a spot on the B2 level, determined not to scratch or bump her new pride and joy. Shortly after, Zhang Xi’s Porsche 718 parked beside her.
The three of them got out of their cars, handbags in hand, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the elevator area.
However, as Lin Muxue’s gaze swept over one of the parking spaces, she suddenly froze, a look of surprise flashing across her face.
From a black Audi A6L, her former colleague Hao Yanping emerged from the passenger seat. Check latest chapters at novel•fire.net
Her auburn wavy hair, figure-hugging dress, and heavy makeup gave her a flamboyant and over-the-top appearance.
Moments later, the driver’s door opened, and Xu Desheng, the marketing manager of Rongxin Venture Capital, stepped out.
Hao Yanping immediately approached him, intimately linking arms and whispering something close to his ear.
As the two drew closer, Xu Desheng instinctively glanced in Lin Muxue’s direction, his gaze locking onto her.
Wearing a fitted top and shorts, Lin Muxue’s delicate features, paired with her long, slender legs, made her stand out in the dimly lit garage.
“Xiaoxue?” Xu Desheng raised his eyebrows, a look of interest lighting up his face.
It had been a while since he’d seen her, and she was as stunningly sexy as ever—no, even more beautiful now. There was a newfound intellectual charm about her that made her all the more desirable.
From the moment Lin Muxue joined Rongxin Venture Capital, Xu Desheng had been captivated by her. Her fair skin, stunning looks, and flawless figure were everything he admired, and her seeming attentiveness and tactfulness made her all the more appealing.
He had privately tried multiple times to persuade her to become his assistant. Confident in his own allure—at 40 years old, in the prime of his life, with sharp features, a well-maintained physique, and recently divorced—he thought she’d readily accept. After all, similar arrangements were common in the finance industry.
But to his surprise, Lin Muxue outright refused and made it clear she had no interest in him. Left with no choice, he turned to Hao Yanping as a backup option.
Noticing the shift in Xu Desheng’s expression, Hao Yanping’s heart sank, her face darkening slightly. She forced a smile and said, “Well, isn’t this Xiaoxue? Long time no see.”
Though she’d heard Lin Muxue had jumped ship to Slover Trust and become a committee assistant, she found it hard to believe.
How could someone who used to be a receptionist suddenly land a high-ranking finance position at a foreign firm? It was laughable.
Lin Muxue’s eyes flickered momentarily before her lips curved into a faint smile. She continued chatting and laughing with Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao as though she hadn’t seen Hao Yanping and Xu Desheng at all.
With an air of calm elegance, she walked right past them.
The two people she once detested now seemed no more than clowns in her eyes.
She, Emperor Muxue, wielded an Imperial Weapon and had achieved Sacred Body Mastery. Forget Xu Desheng, a mere marketing manager—even facing the chairman of Rongxin Venture Capital, she could remain unruffled.
After all, standing behind her were powerful figures like Tang Song, Su Yu, and Annie Kate.
And Hao Yanping? She was nothing but a rotten fish, not even worth the satisfaction of slapping down.
Xu Desheng’s previously smiling face turned stiff, his mood souring.
“What the hell!” Hao Yanping muttered through gritted teeth. “She really thinks she’s someone important now. Xu, I’ve told you before—this Lin Muxue isn’t a decent person. Back when she was at the company, you went out of your way to take care of her, and now look at her attitude.
“And this nonsense about being a committee assistant at Slover Trust? I’m sure she made it up. No reputable foreign company would skip a background check and let someone like her slip through the cracks.”
Xu Desheng exhaled heavily, patting Hao Yanping on the back. “Let’s go. President Wang and the others are waiting for us.”
With that, he strode ahead, leaving Hao Yanping to follow quickly behind.
Inside the elevator area, they spotted Lin Muxue standing in the center, her tall, curvaceous figure complemented by her exquisite makeup, expensive luxury accessories, and elegant, confident demeanor. Beside her stood her friends, who were clearly White Rich Beauties.
The sight made Hao Yanping’s eyes burn with envy and jealousy.
Nothing was more infuriating than seeing someone she disliked living so well.
Back at Rongxin Venture Capital, she had been the assistant to the marketing manager, often giving Lin Muxue orders—having her print documents, send packages, or endure snide comments.
Now, seeing Lin Muxue so radiant and successful, her attitude distant and indifferent, was unbearable.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and the group filed in.
Unable to hold back, Hao Yanping sneered, “Xiaoxue, have you forgotten about your old colleague? Aren’t you going to say hello?”
Lin Muxue turned her head slightly, her indifferent gaze sweeping over Hao Yanping, her lips curving into a mocking smile.
Hao Yanping immediately understood the message: Who do you think you are?
Her face flushed bright red, her breathing growing rapid.
Xu Desheng noticed and frowned slightly, his tone annoyed as he said, “Xiaoxue, what’s the meaning of this?”
After all, Xu Desheng was a senior executive at Rongxin Venture Capital. Back at the company, Lin Muxue, as a receptionist, had always been polite and respectful towards him, speaking softly and deferentially. But now, she was blatantly ignoring him, obviously to spite him—completely refusing to give him even a shred of face.
“Ding—” The elevator slowly opened on the first floor.
Two hotel staff members in uniform froze momentarily upon seeing the group. They quickly greeted her nervously, “President Lin!”
“Hmm.” Lin Muxue nodded gently, her face instantly lighting up with a bright smile.
Finally, I’ve entered my domain! Whoever steps in dies!
Not far away, the hotel lobby manager rushed over at a brisk pace, looking slightly flustered. “Good evening, President Lin. Are you here for a business arrangement?”
Just yesterday, this assistant to the executive director had come by to review some company materials. Seeing her show up again tonight set the manager’s imagination racing.
Lin Muxue chuckled softly, her tone light and unhurried. “Nothing work-related, Manager Wang. I’m just here to have dinner with some friends at the Lanque Western Restaurant and spend a bit of time at the Gu Yi Business Lounge afterward.”
The lobby manager stepped into the elevator with her, his enthusiasm palpable. “Let me make arrangements for you! President Qiao is still upstairs in a meeting—should I notify him?”
“No need, but thank you.”
“Understood.”
The elevator doors closed slowly.
Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao exchanged wide-eyed looks, their mouths agape in astonishment, though they didn’t say a word.
Xu Desheng stood there stunned for a moment before finally snapping out of it. His expression darkened instantly.
The parent company of Lanfeng International was none other than the renowned Yunxi Real Estate, a major investor and shareholder in Rongxin Venture Capital. It was precisely because of this connection that Rongxin often collaborated with Lanfeng International, using their facilities to host clients.
And President Qiao? He was undoubtedly Qiao Anji, the general manager of the hotel.
But how on earth had Lin Muxue suddenly become involved with Lanfeng International? Judging by the staff’s attitude, her connections seemed significant, likely tied to Yunxi Real Estate itself.
The thought made him inexplicably uneasy.
Hao Yanping stared blankly at the scene before her, unable to fully process what was happening.
Soon, the elevator stopped on the third floor.
As they stepped out, a group of restaurant staff and managers immediately came forward to greet her.
“President Lin!” “President Lin!” ...
The warm greetings from the staff—likely recognizing her as someone important from the previous evening’s banquet—only added to the surreal atmosphere.
Lin Muxue elegantly carried her handbag, her radiant smile never wavering. She glanced briefly at the stunned Hao Yanping and Xu Desheng before walking confidently toward the Western restaurant with her two friends, surrounded by an entourage.
Inside, though, she felt as if she had just drunk an ice-cold Coke on a scorching summer day—pure bliss from head to toe.
Today really isn’t your day. You had the misfortune of running into me, Emperor Muxue, fresh from attaining the Dao.
All I did was glance at you, and you’re already detonating on the spot!
They strolled through the bright and spacious hallway, eventually entering the Western restaurant.
Lin Muxue slightly raised her chin, her gaze sweeping over the opulent and refined surroundings.
Her eyes happened to lock onto a pair of watery, shining eyes staring straight at her.
Her smile froze. Slowly, she lowered her head.
Wen Ruan?
Damn it, I hadn’t even finished flexing my power—how did I run into her already?!
