Chapter 510: Nightclub Star
“Ms. Lin, your payment has been successfully processed,” the store manager said respectfully. “This batch of items will be packed by a dedicated staff member and delivered directly to your designated address. Thank you for choosing Chanel.”
Lin Muxue took back her treasured black card, gently rubbing the fine carbon fiber texture on the surface with her fingertips, and said lightly, “Thank you. I’m very satisfied with your service.”
“Thank you for your recognition. Have a wonderful day!” The store manager bowed again and gestured for the staff to open the glass door of the VIP Lounge.
Lin Muxue smiled, said something to her younger cousin, then stood up gracefully and walked out.
Passing through the main exhibition hall under the gazes and farewells of many, she walked out of the Chanel boutique.
The noise of the mall surged into their ears, and only then did Lin Yuzhen and the other two finally snap out of it.
Looking at the tall, sexy figure ahead, they felt as if she radiated brilliance every moment.
Li Xiaotong's breathing was a bit rapid. Scenes from just now kept flashing through her mind, and she was filled with both jealousy and envy, wishing she could take her place.
She considered herself someone with a bit of a bourgeois taste, and with decent family conditions, she occasionally bought a couple of luxury items, like a Prada bag or Chanel cosmetics.
But seeing Lin Muxue’s level of lavish spending, and that super VIP treatment…For the first time, she understood what “gap” truly meant.
Lin Yuzhen subconsciously glanced at her cousin’s bag, still thinking about that black card that had just appeared.
She didn’t know exactly what it was, but judging by the store manager’s attitude, it had to be something extraordinary.
She couldn’t wrap her head around it—how could her cousin become this powerful after just two years apart? It was completely beyond her comprehension or imagination.
She really wanted to ask what kind of job Sister Xiaoxue was doing now, how much she was making, but seeing that powerful aura, she didn’t dare open her mouth.
After all, she hadn’t been very nice to her cousin before. Better fix the relationship first, then ask later.
Zhou Hao swallowed his saliva, stepped half a step forward, and said, “Sister Xiaoxue, where are we headed next?”
Lin Muxue raised her wrist to check the time. “I’ll take a look around Balenciaga. It’s almost time for dinner anyway. I’ll treat you all.”
Her first time swiping the black card, enjoying top-tier service, and flaunting in public—
Empress Muxue was in a superb mood.
Zhou Hao said in a low voice, “We’ve actually already reserved a restaurant over at Huanle Mingdu. It’s an Italian place. Would that be okay with you?”
“Oh? Sure.” Lin Muxue nodded calmly. Originally, she’d planned to take her younger cousin to Lan Yue Chinese Restaurant to show off a bit.
But since they’d already booked something, forget it.
Then, Lin Muxue walked gracefully toward the Balenciaga store.
She knew every luxury shop and mall in Yan City like the back of her hand.
She often came by with friends or close girlfriends, and already had items she’d been eyeing.
The only difference was—previously, limited budget meant she could only look, not buy.
Now? That was no longer a problem!
After entering the store, surrounded by attentive staff, Lin Muxue tried on a few business outfits.
Each one fit her curves perfectly. The cuts, the fabric—flawless.
Combined with her delicate features and elegant posture, she fully embodied the aura of a modern city beauty.
Zhou Hao couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Lin Yuzhen and Li Xiaotong were filled with envy.
Then, in one go, she bought two sets of business attire and six pairs of stockings in various styles and colors.
“Swipe it!” Lin Muxue pulled out the Obsidian Card once again.
With a “beep,” the 150,000 yuan charge was instantly completed.
“Ms. Lin, your payment has been completed. We’ll arrange home delivery for you,” said the cashier, voice tinged with awe.
Lin Muxue gave a faint smile and replied casually, “Alright, thank you.”
In just over an hour, she’d dropped half a million yuan.
Lin Muxue felt like she was floating, completely elated.
This feeling of total control and indulgent spending filled her with an indescribable thrill.
Her long legs pressed together slightly, and an unusual blush rose to her cheeks.
For her, money really was the best aphrodisiac.
She could barely hold back the urge to rush to Quancheng and play a few intense rounds with Tang Song.
By the time they exited the mall, night had already fallen, and the city’s neon lights had come alive.
Colorful lights reflected off the glass curtain walls on both sides of the street, casting dazzling, dreamlike patterns.
The cool night breeze brushed against her face as Lin Muxue walked with light, graceful steps. Her Chanel knit top swayed gently, catching everyone’s eye.
The group arrived at the reserved Italian restaurant.
Led by the server, they took seats by the window.
The white tablecloths were pristine, the silverware neatly arranged—it had style.
After placing their orders, dishes started arriving one after another.
Lin Muxue gently twirled a strand of spaghetti with her fork, her movements elegant and composed.
Her gaze occasionally drifted out the window, appreciating the night view of the city, with a faint smile on her lips.
Li Xiaotong, watching all this, began mimicking her—intentionally or not.
From how she held her utensils, to her chewing pace, even trying to mirror the same expression.
Lin Yuzhen sat with her new phone beside her, unable to stop fiddling with it. She was messaging classmates on WeChat,
Still a college student, suddenly getting a dream flagship phone and a Celine outfit—it was hard not to show off a little.
Zhou Hao cleared his throat, trying once more to get Lin Muxue’s attention. “Sister Xiaoxue, I overheard at the store—you live at Lanfeng International Apartments, right?”
“Mm.” Lin Muxue replied with a flat tone, not much emotion in her voice.
“I’ve heard it’s all business elites living over there. You must be super busy all the time, right?”
“It’s alright. Once you get used to it, it’s nothing special.”
Zhou Hao kept tossing out flattering remarks, fishing for a breakthrough.
But the more attentive he was, the colder Lin Muxue became.
Perhaps getting annoyed, she turned to her cousin and started chatting about school life.
Zhou Hao quickly forced a smile and joined in.
Lin Yuzhen looked at the suddenly overly eager Zhou Hao, then at her graceful, noble cousin, and her feelings turned extremely complicated.
Zhou Hao was famous on campus—known as their school’s top senior and a wealthy second-gen. Very popular.
Most of the time, he played the aloof heartthrob.
But in front of her cousin, he’d completely changed.
Like one of those… simps hovering around.
After dinner, the group got up and headed toward the underground parking lot at Huanle Mingdu.
The mall’s lights cast reflections on the floor, lighting up each person’s expression differently.
Zhou Hao’s eyes flickered as he quickly stepped up beside Lin Muxue, saying warmly, “Sister Xiaoxue, we were thinking of going to a bar later. Want to come?”
Lin Muxue’s brows knit slightly. “No, I’ve got something to take care of tonight.”
Zhou Hao’s smile froze for a second, but he recovered fast. “Haha, Sister Xiaoxue really is a busy woman. Well… maybe next time then!”
Lin Muxue didn’t give him a chance to continue. She turned to Lin Yuzhen. “Zhenzhen, don’t stay out too late tonight. If anything happens, call me anytime.”
After all, this was her cousin who she’d watched grow up, and now that the girl was in her territory, she didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.
The real reason she didn’t want to join them was because she couldn’t stop thinking about all the luxury goods she’d just bought.
That, and she was just kind of annoyed by Zhou Hao, that narcissistic idiot.
Lin Yuzhen carried her shopping bags and said softly, “Okay, sis, I got it.”
Li Xiaotong stood nearby, listening to the three of them talk, her heart a mess of emotions.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and the group stepped into the lift.
No one spoke all the way down, until they reached the underground parking lot.
Lin Muxue opened the door of her Porsche 911, said goodbye to the three of them, then gracefully got into the car. Official source is N0velFire.ɴet
With a deep, textured engine roar, the car slowly pulled away and disappeared around the corner.
The three of them stood frozen in place for quite a while.
Suddenly, Li Xiaotong grabbed Zhou Hao’s arm and said in a cutesy tone, “Let’s go, Hao-ge! Didn’t you say you’d take us to the bar? Let’s head back and change first.”
“Okay.” Zhou Hao forced a smile, but his eyes still held a trace of unwillingness.
He stared in the direction Lin Muxue had driven off, his fists clenching slightly.
Then, he suddenly picked up his phone and dialed a friend. “Hey, Yuhan.”
“We’re changing the bar for tonight’s get-together to Sinmo. Get us a good booth.”
“No reason, I just feel like hanging out there tonight.”
“Mm, okay, see you at 9.”
After hanging up, Zhou Hao explained to the other two, “There was a little issue with the place we originally booked, so I switched to a better one. Sinmo is the top-tier nightclub in Yan City—the atmosphere and setup there are way better.”
“Wow, that’s awesome!”
“Thanks, Hao-ge.”
Still chatting, the three got into the BMW X5.
Zhou Hao took a deep breath, eyes gleaming.
The real reason he changed the venue wasn’t because of any problem with the original bar.
It was because Sinmo was located in the podium of the Lanfeng International Hotel, just a few hundred meters from Lin Muxue’s apartment.
All he needed was to come up with an excuse and get Lin Yuzhen to bring her cousin over.
A bar like that—ambiguous, hazy, and just the right vibe—was the perfect setting to close the gap.
Back at the Huajing Oasis residential complex, the three of them got ready and took a cab to Sinmo.
Lin Yuzhen put on a new Celine autumn outfit and did light makeup. Her vibe was still average, but she looked noticeably more stylish and pretty.
Li Xiaotong felt a little sour and teased her a few times along the way.
But Lin Yuzhen was still caught up in the joy of receiving such expensive gifts. She didn’t argue back and instead kept taking selfies.
Half an hour later, the three of them got out of the taxi and walked toward the entrance of Sinmo.
Under the night sky, the Lanfeng International Hotel was brilliantly lit. The towering building reached into the clouds like a dazzling skyline, making the surrounding buildings look dull in comparison.
“This hotel is so gorgeous!” Li Xiaotong’s voice was full of amazement and longing.
Zhou Hao smiled slightly. “Yeah, it’s the most high-end five-star hotel in Yan City. This whole area belongs to the hotel—bar, restaurants, KTV, all of it.”
Hearing that, Lin Yuzhen and Li Xiaotong exchanged a glance, eyes full of awe and curiosity.
It was peak holiday season, and a long line had formed outside Sinmo.
Zhou Hao led the two of them past the crowd and straight to the VIP entrance.
After facial recognition, they smoothly entered the bar.
Neon lights flashed, the music pounded, and the crowd was packed.
On the center stage, a sexy, hot DJ girl was fully immersed in mixing, the explosive beat instantly igniting the crowd’s excitement.
The air was thick with the scent of alcohol and perfume. Lights pulsed with the rhythm, beams of color sweeping over excited faces. The whole space buzzed with energy and passion.
“How is it? Pretty nice, huh?” Zhou Hao glanced around, pride in his voice.
“Wow, it’s amazing!” Li Xiaotong clapped excitedly and whipped out her phone to start taking pictures.
Lin Yuzhen looked a little nervous, occasionally peeking at the dance floor, her face full of wonder and unease.
They followed the marketing hostess to a front-left VIP booth with a wide view and great privacy.
Two stylishly dressed guys already seated on the sofa stood up, greeting Zhou Hao warmly with hugs and fist bumps.
“Zhou Hao, finally made it.”
“Yo, you brought two gorgeous girls? Not bad!”
Zhou Hao introduced them enthusiastically. “These are the girls I mentioned earlier—Li Xiaotong and Lin Yuzhen. And these two are my good bros, Hua Yuhan and Lu Yun.”
“Hi, I’m Hua Yuhan.”
“I’m Lu Yun.”
After a few greetings, everyone took their seats.
The spacious VIP booth already had plenty of snack trays and soft drinks laid out on the low glass table.
After some light banter, everyone settled in.
A provocatively dressed and charming female hostess leaned toward Hua Yuhan and asked in a sweet voice, “Young Master Hua, what would you like to drink tonight?”
Hua Yuhan gestured generously. “Tonight’s all about the ladies. Let them choose.”
The hostess quickly handed the iPad menu to Li Xiaotong and Lin Yuzhen.
Li Xiaotong’s eyes lit up with excitement. Acting like a regular, she took the iPad and started scrolling through the drink list.
Lin Yuzhen glanced down awkwardly. She didn’t understand any of the fancy drink names and had no idea what to choose.
Zhou Hao leaned over slightly and smiled. “Tonight’s on me. Go ahead and drink up—don’t be shy!”
“Thanks, Hao-ge! You’re the best!”
Li Xiaotong smiled and picked out a few of her favorite cocktails.
Zhou Hao took the iPad again and added two bottles of premium champagne, plus some sparkling wine.
Not long after, a server wheeled over a fancy cart with their drinks.
The champagne in the clear ice buckets let off cool mist, and the neatly arranged flutes sparkled under the lights.
Soon, several bottles were opened.
Hua Yuhan raised a glass of champagne and called out loudly, “Cheers! Let’s all have a blast tonight!”
Everyone responded, the sound of clinking glasses crisp and pleasant.
The bubbly went down smooth, and Lin Yuzhen’s cheeks quickly flushed red.
The alcohol, combined with the atmosphere, loosened her up.
She pulled out her new phone to take photos and post on her social media.
The music kept pumping louder.
An MC in hip-hop attire hopped on stage, hyping the crowd with an infectious voice.
Back in the booth, Li Xiaotong pulled Lin Yuzhen up. “Come on, Zhenzhen! Let’s go dance!”
At first, Lin Yuzhen hesitated. But with the alcohol kicking in, she gradually let down her guard and began swaying gently to the music.
Her movements were a bit stiff, but her smile grew brighter and brighter.
She actually liked having fun, and it was her first time in such a high-end nightclub. That bit of wild thrill was starting to rise inside.
On the other side, Zhou Hao, Hua Yuhan, and Lu Yun were deep in conversation, chatting from bar stories to recent life updates.
Unlike Zhou Hao, Hua Yuhan and Lu Yun were both a bit older and had already graduated and started working—both holding positions in their family companies.
Especially Hua Yuhan—his family ran a chain of supermarkets, and he was currently working in the procurement department, living a pretty flashy and carefree life.
The three of them chatted for a while.
Lu Yun glanced at Li Xiaotong and Lin Yuzhen, who were laughing and swaying near the stage, and joked in a low voice, “You lucky dog. These two girls are pretty hot!”
“Heh.” Zhou Hao shook his head at the comment, sounding a little helpless. “I’m really not in the mood right now.”
Hua Yuhan raised an eyebrow, leaning in curiously. “Oh? Something happened?”
Zhou Hao exhaled, his gaze a bit dazed. “I ran into this incredibly stunning woman today—still haven’t recovered. She’s my classmate’s cousin. She’s... seriously impressive, and not just in looks.”
“Oh? How impressive? What’s her background?” Hua Yuhan asked with interest.
Zhou Hao thought for a moment, not sure where to begin.
After all, he was still in college, with limited exposure to these circles, but just based on the Chanel store manager’s attitude, he had a vague feeling that she wasn’t ordinary.
Just then, a warm voice chimed in from the side, “Haha, Manager Hua, what a coincidence!”
The three of them turned and saw a man in his 30s.
Slightly chubby, all smiles, giving off a rather easygoing vibe.
Hua Yuhan immediately stood up and greeted him with a handshake. “Brother Liu, you’re here too?”
“Just came with some colleagues from the company to hang out. Didn’t expect to run into you here—had to come say hi.” Liu Huiyang laughed heartily.
The two of them chatted briefly about work. The atmosphere was relaxed and familiar.
“Well, I won’t interrupt. I’ll head back now.” Liu Huiyang waved with a smile.
“Alright, bye-bye.”
As they watched Liu Huiyang walk away, Hua Yuhan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a surprised look crossing his face.
Zhou Hao noticed and asked curiously, “What is it?”
Lu Yun glanced over and laughed. “Yuhan’s spotted his goddess.”
“Oh?” Zhou Hao stood up, following his line of sight.
In one of the central booths, seven or eight men and women were seated.
One of them—a girl with pale, glowing skin—stood out. Dressed stylishly, with sweet looks and a sexy figure, she looked especially dazzling under the dim lights.
Zhou Hao’s eyes lit up. “The pale-skinned one? Damn, she’s gorgeous!”
Hua Yuhan shook his head with a smile. “Not her. It’s the short-haired one next to her—her name’s Qin Hua.”
Then, Hua Yuhan gave a quick rundown of who she was.
Qin Hua currently worked in the president’s office at Zhongcheng Group as the administrative supervisor, and her father was one of the group’s shareholders—top-tier rich second generation.
His family’s chain of supermarkets had business with Zhongcheng Group, and as the procurement manager, he’d interacted with them quite a few times. That’s how he knew her.
Tonight was likely a private gathering of some mid-to-senior-level executives from Zhongcheng Group.
Thinking of this, Hua Yuhan picked up a glass of wine, his tone firm. “I’m going over to say hi.”
Lu Yun gave him a pat on the shoulder and smiled. “Go for it, man.”
As soon as Hua Yuhan left, Lin Yuzhen and Li Xiaotong came back to the booth, looking flushed and slightly sweaty—it was clear they’d had a great time dancing.
Lin Yuzhen raised a glass and clinked with the three of them, then downed nearly half the drink in one go.
The alcohol had loosened her up. She looked quite cheerful.
Zhou Hao saw his chance and said, “By the way, Zhenzhen, didn’t you say your cousin lives at Lanfeng International Apartments? I just remembered that building’s right next to this hotel. Why not give her a call, see if she wants to come hang out? We’ve got plenty of drinks—it’ll be more fun with more people.”
Hearing that, Li Xiaotong’s heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling she knew what Zhou Hao was thinking, and the smile slowly faded from her face.
Lin Yuzhen hesitated. “I... uh...”
Zhou Hao kept pushing. “Just call and ask. If you end up drinking too much, you can crash at her place too. Save her the worry.”
“Then... okay.” Lin Yuzhen bit her lip and dialed her cousin’s number.
These days, she both admired and held a little awe for her mysterious cousin. She really wanted to build a better relationship.
She might’ve been a bit naïve, but she wasn’t stupid. With the kind of presence Lin Muxue showed today, getting closer could be very beneficial in the future.
That was the main reason she agreed to Zhou Hao’s suggestion.
The call connected quickly. Lin Muxue’s lazy voice came through. “Hey, Zhenzhen, what’s up?”
“Hey, sis! We’re at Sinmo Bar in the Lanfeng International Hotel. It’s been really fun. Want to come join us? Everyone’s here and wants to invite you.”
Lin Yuzhen tried to sound casual, though her voice still carried a hint of nervousness.
...
Lanfeng International Luxury Apartments.
“Oh? You’re at Sinmo?” Lin Muxue raised her brows.
“Heh, sure, no problem. I’ll come join you guys for a bit.”
“Mm, I’ll change clothes and head over. Bye.”
After hanging up, Lin Muxue set aside her luxury shopping bags and stood up from the couch, a bright smile spreading across her face.
She hadn’t planned to show off again tonight, but since they insisted on coming to her turf—
If she didn’t show her face, she might not be able to sleep.
To be fair, as Tang Song’s personal assistant, she was technically part of the executive team at Lanfeng International Hotel.
But with work being so busy, she’d never actually had time to enjoy any of the Sinmo perks.
Now that someone had personally invited her, it was the perfect chance to “inspect” the bar’s service quality.
More importantly, she wanted to let her little cousin see what kind of status she had now.
Hahaha~~
Thinking of this, Lin Muxue chuckled softly, excitement rising. She rubbed her thigh in delight,
Then went to the bathroom for a quick touch-up.
After that, she stepped into her walk-in closet, fingers gliding over the elegant clothes.
In the end, she chose a classic Burberry cocktail dress, the tailored fit perfectly outlining her slender, graceful figure.
Over it, she added a crisp Chanel blazer—simple yet elegant.
On her feet, a pair of red Valentino heels added a bold, sexy accent.
She stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her neckline, running a hand through her hair.
Satisfied, she smiled confidently. “Perfect!”
Tap, tap, tap—the rhythmic sound of heels echoed.
She stepped out through the apartment’s glass doors. The night breeze brushed against her cheeks, the air fresh and cool.
Carrying her handbag, Lin Muxue walked directly toward the bar in the podium building nearby.
...
Laser lights swept across the room.
In the center of the dance floor, young men and women twisted and turned, letting hormones run wild.
The screen of a phone on the table lit up.
Lin Yuzhen glanced at it, then turned and said, “My cousin just went downstairs. She’s on her way.”
Zhou Hao’s face lit up with a wide smile. “Sister Xiaoxue’s coming? We’ve got to order two more bottles then.”
Saying that, he waved toward the nearby hostess.
She quickly came over, beaming. “Brother Zhou, what can I do for you?”
“Bring us two bottles of Armand de Brignac, the Black-Gold edition!”
Hearing that, the hostess’s eyes widened in surprise, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face. “Right away, I’ll arrange that for you now!”
The Black-Gold Armand de Brignac sold for ¥12,888 per bottle in nightclubs, making it one of the most premium selections—not only would it earn her a generous commission, but also boost her sales record.
Next to him, Li Xiaotong gasped under her breath, a flicker of complicated emotion flashing through her eyes.
Lu Yun raised his brows and gave Zhou Hao a pat on the shoulder, teasing, “Alright then, really going all out tonight, huh?”
“Heh, just cutting loose once in a while.”
Lin Yuzhen had just heard from Li Xiaotong about how much Armand de Brignac cost, and she looked a bit flustered. “Hao-ge, that’s too expensive, isn’t it? You really don’t have to go all out like that...”
She hadn’t expected that just because her cousin was coming, Zhou Hao would drop over ¥20,000 on two bottles of champagne.
“It’s fine. It’s rare for everyone to get together and have fun—just think of it as a gesture from me.” Zhou Hao waved generously.
A moment later, three glamorous and provocatively dressed waitresses walked over gracefully.
One of them was carrying a silver ice bucket, inside of which were two bottles of golden, gleaming Armand de Brignac surrounded by crystal-clear ice cubes, sparkling brilliantly under the lights.
Then, they placed a lit Ace of Spades lamp on the booth’s table, creating a lavish and mysterious atmosphere.
“Brother Zhou, would you like us to open them now?”
“Hold on, wait until my friend gets here.” Zhou Hao leaned forward slightly, his gaze locked on the entrance, his expression both nervous and excited.
Opening Armand de Brignac in a nightclub came with its own ceremony. Not only did it draw attention, it also pushed the whole atmosphere to a peak.
Plenty of girls loved this kind of show.
He’d purposely changed into a more mature outfit tonight and ordered the best champagne—all in the hopes of getting closer to Lin Muxue.
A few moments later—
Zhou Hao suddenly stood up, his face breaking into a beaming smile as he exclaimed, “Sister Xiaoxue is here!”
Lu Yun, Lin Yuzhen, and the others stood up to look as well.
A tall figure entered their line of sight.
Lin Muxue was dressed in a deep blue backless gown. The fine sequins scattered across the dress sparkled like stars in the night sky, gleaming enchantingly under the lights.
Her honey-brown hair fell naturally in soft waves, curling slightly at the ends. The graceful curve of her back flowed like a work of art, radiating both elegance and sensuality.
Several staff members in uniform followed closely beside her, treating her with the utmost respect. One held her handbag, another carried her coat, and someone walked ahead to clear the way.
Her refined features and untouchable aura exuded a magnetic charm from head to toe.
Both men and women couldn’t help but look—captivated—casting her admiring glances.
She was, without a doubt, the star of the club.
Just then, the MC on stage gradually stopped his hype shouts, and the music volume dipped.
The entire nightclub seemed to quiet for a moment, leaving only the laser lights dancing across her figure.
Lu Yun swallowed, his voice dry, “That’s the one you were talking about...? Why does she have such an entourage?”
“Mm.” Zhou Hao nodded absentmindedly, took a deep breath, and subtly adjusted his collar, trying to look more put-together.
Under their gaze, the group slowly approached.
Lin Yuzhen, cheeks flushed, waved her hand, “Sis, over here.”
In that moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of pride.
Lin Muxue walked up to the booth, nodded slightly, and her eyes casually glanced over the Armand de Brignac on the table.
Zhou Hao’s face turned a little red. He was just about to say something when a commotion broke out.
Right then, a middle-aged man in a suit strode over quickly.
Behind him were several security staff who spread out around the booth, forming an invisible shield.
“Director Lin! Welcome! Thank you for coming to inspect our operations!” The man greeted enthusiastically. “I’m Ren Jianhong, General Manager of Sinmo. We met at the head office meeting before—do you remember me?”
That one sentence exploded like a bomb in the booth.
Everyone froze on the spot, eyes snapping to Lin Muxue.
What the hell?
General manager? Leadership inspection?
“Hello, Director Ren, of course I remember.” Lin Muxue remained polite and composed, her eyes calmly sweeping over Lin Yuzhen and the others.
In her mind, an epic background score began to play automatically—
A deep cello hum accompanied by a majestic orchestral swell marked the arrival of Empress Muxue.
Hearing her affirmation, Ren Jianhong visibly relaxed and quickly said, “Director Lin, it’s such an honor to see you here tonight! We’ve already prepared the best booth for you. Would you and your friends mind moving over there?”
“Then I’ll trouble you.” Lin Muxue gave a slight nod, composed and unfazed.
