Chapter 200: Chapter 167: Xue Putting on a Brave Front_4 Chapter 200: Chapter 167: Xue Putting on a Brave Front_4 Immediately After, a voice came through the receiver, sounding relieved, “Ms. Zhao, hello, we’ve finally gotten in touch with you!”
Zhao Yaqian’s voice trembled slightly as she said, “Um, my phone was on silent, and I didn’t see the call. May I ask why you’re looking for me?”
“I am Zhang Chengyuan from Slover Trust’s Yan City office. I am calling to inform you that the trust beneficiary agreement has been drafted, and you can come in to sign it.”
Zhao Yaqian’s eyes suddenly widened, and with flushed cheeks, she exclaimed, “Ah! Can I come now?”
“Well… the signing process will be quite lengthy. Since it’s nearing noon, I suggest you come over at two in the afternoon. The address and details of the signing have been sent to you via text message,” Zhang Chengyuan paused for a moment, “Chairman Tang won’t be present personally, but his representative, attorney Luo Bin, will be there to provide legal assistance for you.”
“Oh, okay, okay, thank you,” she replied.
“That will be all for now. Please make sure your cell phone is available this afternoon.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yaqian almost shouted in excitement, her hands and feet moving restlessly.
She hadn’t expected it to come so quickly. She couldn’t help but fantasize about “life after having a million yuan.”
Lin Muxue asked curiously, “What’s got you so happy all of a sudden?”
“It’s about the family trust, they told me I can go over and sign the contract!” Zhao Yaqian replied excitedly, and casually opened the messaging app on her phone.
There indeed was a new message at 9:10 am, but she hadn’t noticed it at all.
Lin Muxue’s expression paused for a moment, and her gaze toward Zhao Yaqian became incredulous.
Checking the message content, she muttered to herself, “Address: 29th floor of CY Building, Gathering Emotion Gold…carry your personal identification…”
“Xue, can you help me take a look at this? I’m a bit confused,” Zhao Yaqian quickly handed her phone over.
Lin Muxue bit her lip, took the phone, and explained, “To verify the authenticity and validity of the signing process, you may bring no more than 3 witnesses. They need to be third parties with no conflict of interest, legally competent adults, and not professionals within the trust relationship. If you have your own legal or financial advisors, you can bring them too.”
The notice was very formal, spelling out the precautions clearly, and much of it was beyond Lin Muxue’s knowledge.
It also made her feel even more incredulous.
It was as if a friend suddenly said they were going to buy a lottery ticket and then won the jackpot.
Who would have thought that an ordinary beautician could be involved in a trust fund worth tens of millions?
The world is indeed a huge pretense!
Zhao Yaqian pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “Xue, are you free this afternoon?”
“Er, yes,” Lin Muxue replied.
“That’s great! You exactly meet the criteria for a witness, and you work in financial investment, so you’re considered a professional!” Zhao Yaqian said excitedly. “You can be my witness and hold fort for me. I’ll treat you to a big meal at noon!”
She had never experienced such an occasion before, and Tang Song wouldn’t be there.
Among all her friends, Lin Muxue was the most impressive one: a leader at a large financial company, a wealthy daughter, often attending various events and meetings, a true elite woman, as evident from her social media.
Having her support, Zhao Yaqian wouldn’t have to worry about embarrassing herself.
Lin Muxue licked her dry lips, unsure of what to say.
An administrative receptionist at a financial company, was that also considered a professional?
After hesitating for a moment, she sheepishly nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
She was genuinely curious about what kind of trust fund belonged to Zhao Yaqian.
She also wanted to experience the signing process firsthand, perhaps take some photos to show off online and on her social media.
It would be very beneficial for her own image.
“Thank you, Xue! Wait for me, I’m going to ask for leave from my boss now. I’ll go home and change into something nice. I’ll treat you to a western steak for lunch!”
“Alright, I’ll go change as well, and we’ll meet at the restaurant at noon,” Lin Muxue responded.
When Zhao Yaqian, dressed in a beautiful white dress, arrived at the restaurant and saw Lin Muxue, she couldn’t help but show a look of envy.
She sincerely exclaimed, “Xue, your outfit is so beautiful, full of presence, fashionable and sexy, must have been expensive?”
“Not really, all together it was just tens of thousands of yuan,” Lin Muxue said with a smirk, secretly proud.
She had dug out her best clothes for today’s occasion.
A Dior sparkly dress, bought on sale for 29,500 yuan.
A Fendi cape coat, also bought on sale, for 8,800 yuan.
Valentino heels for 9,600 yuan.
Besides those, her bag, earrings, and watch were all genuine luxury brands.
She reserved these clothes for important occasions and parties; they were her treasures.
She was sure they would help her hold her ground!
“Click, click—” After a session of selfies, the two started on the delicious steak.
Lin Muxue’s movements were very graceful and natural, a pleasure to watch, clearly well-practiced.
Seeing this made Zhao Yaqian envious, unintentionally trying to imitate her, but not quite getting it right.
Lin Muxue took out an exquisite bottle of mouthwash from her bag and calmly cleaned her mouth, then sprayed a refreshing scent.
She seemed very meticulous.
Seeing Zhao Yaqian’s eager expression, she couldn’t help but laugh and handed her the items, “Here, use these!”
This beautician was indeed naive, with all her emotions plainly showing on her face.
