Chapter 8: Things Have Changed (3)

  A woman who is not ruthless will not have a stable position.

  Shen Xiangyu sat in the corner, quietly watching this family's lively discussion. In these four years, she also studied finance, not at a prestigious school, but self-studying in prison, without the opportunity to make actual transactions, only Wen Jie using existing conditions, teaching her simulated trading with previous quotation methods.

  "Our Xiaoya is really impressive." Tang Lin said with pride, then looked at her husband and asked: "Zhengzhong, now that our Xiaoya has graduated, what are you planning to arrange for her?"

  "Don't worry, I've already..." Mo Zhengzhong's words were cut off by Xiaoya, who spoke up and said, "Dad, Mom, actually, I've already found a job."

  Mo Zhengzhong and Tang Lin looked at their daughter in surprise, Xiaoya smiled slightly, glanced at Shen Xinyu again, and continued: "I did very well during my internship in the US, so I was retained by the company. This is a field that interests me, so I want to develop myself in this area." Her voice was somewhat low when she finished speaking, as if it wasn't just because of interest.

  "I was retained by the company, how can I go to America? No way!"

  "No need to go back to the US, the company is in Hong Kong." She moved her body to Tang Lin's side, stretched out her hand to hug Mummy and said: "As for what kind of company it is, wait until I really take office, then I'll tell you."

  "What company can compare with our own family's company, no..."

  "Alright, alright, let Xiaoya do what she wants, maybe this will even find you a son-in-law to bring back home. Isn't this what you've been looking forward to every day?" As expected, after rolling around in the business world for decades, he quickly saw through his daughter's thoughts and patted his wife's hand gently, saying softly.

  "Dad!" Xiaoya's pretty face turned red, and Tang Lin seemed to understand the meaning of her husband's words. She nodded in agreement, then warned her daughter, "If you have a boyfriend, be sure to bring him home for Mommy and Daddy to see."

  "Mom, stop it! I won't say anything anymore." Xiaoya said with a pout, but the smile on her face revealed a hint of anticipation. As they spoke, the mother-daughter duo went upstairs to discuss some girlie matters.

  The living room was left with only Mo Zhengzhong and Shen Xiangyu. At this time, Shen Xiangyu finally spoke up and said: "Uncle Mo, can I ask you something?"

  "What's up?" Mo Zhengzhong said with a cup of tea in his hand, looking up.

  "It's about what happened in the Shen family back then, I don't know how much Uncle Mo knows."

  It was clear that when Shen Xiangyu brought up the past, Mo Zhengzhong held his teacup in mid-air, but soon put it down gently, leaned back in his chair, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, what happened to the Shen family back then was too sudden. My cooperation with your father at that time was only on real estate, I really don't know much about what happened..."

  "Xianyu, it's really good that you didn't leave." Xiaoya's voice interrupted Shen Xianyu and Mo Zhengzhong's conversation. She excitedly ran down from upstairs, "Later, friends will help me freshen up, they're all people you know, let's go together."

  "I still —" Shen Xiangyu was about to refuse, but Xiaoya immediately spoke up and said: "Ah, Xiangyu, it's rare for me to come back, so just keep me company, okay?"

  As she spoke, she came over to her side, intimately holding onto her, as if warmly inviting, "It's settled then, let's go together."

  "Xīn yǔ, go play with Xiǎo Yǎ for a bit, with you keeping an eye on her, I'll feel at ease." Mò Zhèngzhōng had always thought that Xīn yǔ and Xiǎo Yǎ got along well, even after this incident nothing would change, so he suggested.

  "Let's go, let's go." Shen Xiangyu hadn't even spoken yet when she was pulled by Xiao Ya to head outside.

  Driving a red sports car out of Mo's house, heading to the party at "Night" bar.

  At night, the dazzling neon lights make people's eyes dizzy, all of which means that the city's nightlife has begun.

  Located in the heart of Central's bustling area, this luxurious club boasts high-end decorations and is full of charm. Everyone who enters and exits is dressed to impress, making it a true VIP club where only members with status are allowed entry.

  And upon entering, it's the paradise of Hong Kong nightlife. The luxurious and dazzling reception hall has crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, making one feel as if they're in a palace. "Mr. Lu, this way please, Mr. Tang is already in the private room." The greeter approaches with courtesy upon seeing the arrival.

  Lu Qiwei wore a casual suit, highlighting his tall stature, handsome and mature. After finishing the welcome speech, he nodded slightly and walked towards the private room through another glass passageway in the reception hall.

  The private room was on the second floor, surrounding the hall's four sides, all made of glass. However, once inside, one could see everything in the hall, while those outside couldn't see a thing inside. When Lu Qiwei walked into the private room and the door closed, it was as if he had completely isolated himself from the outside world.

  At this time, Xiaoya pulled Shen Xiangyu through the passage and came to the box area.

  The private room was filled with handsome men and beautiful women, rich young masters and daughters, drinking expensive wine, sitting together discussing and laughing from time to time.

  When the private room door opened, Xiaoya and Xinyu walked in. The laughter and conversation that had been going on suddenly stopped. Everyone turned to look at Xinyu, her appearance causing surprise to everyone present. Shen Xinyu looked into their eyes, from shock to disdain to indifference, just as Xiaoya said, she knew everyone here tonight, they used to play together, knowing she was Shen Yanwei's daughter, they would try to curry favor with her, surrounding her and fawning over her.

  The world is changing, four years of time, what has changed is not just the environment, but also people.

  Huafu Food Group's heiress, Huali Wen, was the first to stand up and walk in front of her and Xiaoya. She took a closer look and exclaimed: "Isn't this Xinyu? I almost didn't recognize you! It's been years since we last met, and your change is really not ordinary."

  She emphasized the last sentence with a smile, "Come sit over here, they're all people you know." She casually pointed to a place, then went forward and grabbed Xiaoya's hand, her tone suddenly becoming enthusiastic: "Xiaoya, it's harder to get you out than to ascend to heaven, do you know how long we've been waiting?"

  "How could I, you just notified me and I came out immediately. The road was congested, so here's the deal, I'll punish myself with three cups." Mo Ya Zhen always had a clear and charming smile, picked up the cup on the table filled with wine, drank three cups in one go, causing the people in the private room to exclaim in surprise. She put the cup back on the table, smiled and said: "Is this okay?"

  "If anyone dares to bully our Xiaoya again, I won't let them off easily." Hè Xiǎng, the young master of Yuǎn Yáng Group, stepped forward and grasped Xiaoya's shoulder with a gentle expression, pulling her to sit between their group of men.

  The woman sitting next to him covered her mouth and smiled, then turned to look at He Xiang and said in a soft voice: "I'm saying, He Xiang, how did our Xiaoya become yours again? I remember that back then, we all surrounded Xinyu every day, vowing to win her over."
