Even so, this seemingly glamorous opportunity was one she had fought for with all her might, and only barely managed to obtain. freewēbnoveℓ.com
In truth, regarding tonight’s alumni meeting, she was quite uneasy.
After all, Imperial College’s Global MBA is still very prestigious.
The majority of those attending the alumni meeting are high-level managers from consulting firms, investment banks, and tech giants; they handle cross-border business lines and hold substantial projects in their hands.
There are also those who stand out by obtaining full scholarships through their own achievements in academic research or entrepreneurial accomplishments, known as the "scholar elite."
What draws even more attention are those young heirs born with a silver spoon—the young masters of listed groups, descendants of fund founders, and even offspring of rising political stars.
To lend gravitas to the alumni meeting, the school often invites members of old European and American families, including those with noble titles.
In such an environment, as a special student without real skills or sufficient background, her identity naturally felt particularly awkward.
Meeting Lin Muxue now, she felt somewhat relieved.
At least the two of them could accompany each other at the event.
If all else fails, they could just find a corner to stand in at the alumni meeting and try to minimize their presence.
Listening to Wang Siqi’s tactful yet sincere words.
Ever since she went abroad, Xue, who had always played the role of "queen," found it hard to maintain her composed expression.
Goodness! Every word you’re saying is alluding to me, Emperor Muxue!
What do you mean by "people like us"? How can we be the same?!
I am the Chief Assistant at Rongliu Capital! Chief Assistant!
An authentic core manager of a multi-billion US Dollar private equity firm!
Do you know who my friends are?
ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
I’ll say it and scare you! Jin Meixiao! Anne Kate! Su Yu!
Which one of them isn’t a prominent figure?!
Even though the bullet screen of thoughts in her mind was going wild, Lin Muxue still managed to maintain a composure belonging to the "Emperor" on her face.
She didn’t refute nor did she explain; she just smiled ambiguously.
Don’t rush, just wait. Tonight, I will definitely show you what true "presence" means.
In fact, Emperor Muxue really didn’t plan to make a show or put on airs at tonight’s alumni meeting.
But since she was underestimated, she had to regain her ground.
Presumably, given Rongliu Capital’s current heat in the global financial circle, there will surely be people at tonight’s alumni meeting who recognize the value.
Of course... even so, she indeed felt a slight sense of unease.
After all, this is London, and Imperial College’s alumni meeting is impressive enough.
Her Luna’s presence might not be sufficient.
If she doesn’t handle this right, it could be quite embarrassing.
But if she could bring some "background" through Anne’s connections, it would be different.
However, she also understood that troubling someone of Anne Kate’s level for such trivial matters of vanity would be too thoughtless.
Quickly collecting all her wandering thoughts, Lin Muxue’s face resumed that confident and calm smile.
"Alright, we’ve almost finished lunch. We need to prepare a bit for the party tonight. How about this, come directly to the Liz Hotel at 4 PM this afternoon to find me, and we’ll go to the manor together."
"Mm, okay, see you tonight, bye-bye."
"Bye-bye."
...
By the time it was past four in the afternoon, the sky was starting to turn dark.
Wang Si got out of the taxi and walked into the resplendent lobby of the Liz Hotel.
She dialed Lin Muxue’s number.
After waiting for a moment, a tall and graceful figure slowly emerged from the elevator area.
She was wearing an elegant black floor-length evening gown, casually draped with an oversized plush coat in the same color.
Her long hair was meticulously arranged into an elegant bun, secured with a delicate metal hairpin, revealing her smooth, broad forehead and slender, graceful swan neck.
A Bvlgari necklace, a Vacheron Constantin watch, a petite malle handbag...
Her makeup was exquisite and sharp, with red lips like fire, and her eyes carried a touch of aloofness and composure.
Just as Wang Si was in a daze.
Lin Muxue strolled to her side, chin slightly raised, "Let’s go, Cici, the car has been arranged."
"Uh... okay, okay!" Wang Siqi immediately snapped back to reality and quickly followed.
A sleek, solemn Rolls-Royce Phantom was quietly waiting under the hotel’s porch.
The dedicated chauffeur had already opened the stately carriage-style double doors for them.
Sitting inside the luxuriously silent cabin, as if isolated from the world, Wang Siqi looked at Lin Muxue beside her, who was resting with her eyes closed, her profile looking somewhat unreal under the streaming light outside, giving her an unfamiliar feeling.
This Lin Muxue seemed very different from the one who joked and chatted about gossip with her at lunch.
She seemed like a different person.
As it approached five in the afternoon, the sky had completely darkened.
The Rolls-Royce gradually left the bustling London city center, entering a picturesque pastoral countryside.
In the distance, a brilliantly lit classical castle appeared in their view, standing quietly amidst the vast grasslands and forests. freewёbnoνel.com
The entrance to the estate had extremely tight security.
After successfully passing identity verification, the Rolls-Royce smoothly drove into the estate.
Finally, the vehicle slowly stopped in front of the majestic baroque castle bathed in warm yellow light.
Lin Muxue continued to sit calmly, a serene smile on her face.
But her slightly clenched fingertips resting on her lap betrayed her inner excitement and apprehension.
After all, it was also her first time stepping foot into such a top estate, only existing in movies and books.
Nervous, yet exceedingly thrilling.
