After Becoming an Alpha, I Became a Charmer (GL) - Chapter 35.2

But the last time Xia Zhiyu was on the spring outing, she sent Xie Wuyu’s nephew, Xie Li, to jail. How could Xie Wuyu not care and send his own daughter over? Is there some conspiracy here?

I heard Xie Wuyu dotes on his daughter very much. He shouldn’t let his daughter get involved in this kind of dangerous business!

XiaZhiyu: Do you know another Xie Wuyu?

However, thinking of Minister Li’s loyal fan status, Xia Zhiyu quickly reassured him. “Don’t worry. Although Xie Wuyu is very angry at Ms. Ruan over Xie Li’s incident, Xie Rongrong is different from her father.”

Minister Li was terrified by the text Xia Zhiyu sent.

The only reason an Alpha takes an interest in an Omega is if the Omega is special enough.

Secretary Xia, you must control yourself!

XiaZhiyu: Xie Rongrong is a passionate fan of Ms. Ruan, just like you, Minister Li.

MinisterLi: ??? Really???

The good news came too fast. Minister Li almost couldn’t process it.

XiaZhiyu: Of course. And because I’m the only Alpha by Ms. Ruan’s side, Xie Rongrong is very hostile toward me.

Minister Li immediately sighed in relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness. The other party likes Ms. Ruan and even hates Secretary Xia because of her… Wait a minute!

Minister Li’s joy lasted less than two seconds. He suddenly realized something.

Xie Rongrong’s situation is exactly the same as everyone else in the company!

At first, everyone liked Ruan Wu and hated Xia Zhiyu, but what about now? Is there anyone in the company who still hates Xia Zhiyu, except for that cafeteria auntie?

No!

So, it’s only a matter of time before Xie Rongrong falls for Xia Zhiyu!

Minister Li felt utterly despairing.

MinisterLi: Secretary Xia, what do you think of this Xie Rongrong? Will keeping her nearby pose a threat to Ms. Ruan?

XiaZhiyu: Don’t worry. With me and the two bodyguards around, no one can threaten Ms. Ruan.

Minister Li looked at their conversation and thought: You don’t understand at all. You’re oblivious to your own charm. Xie Rongrong falling for you is the biggest threat to Ms. Ruan.

Realizing he couldn’t explain it to Xia Zhiyu, Minister Li decided to contact Ruan Wu directly.

Xia Zhiyu finally put down her phone. Ruan Wu shifted her gaze from the computer to Xia Zhiyu’s face. “Didn’t you say you were just replying in the group chat? Why did it take you so long? Did Zhao Sheng and the others contact you again?”

“It wasn’t Zhao Sheng and the others. It was Minister Li,” Xia Zhiyu said, smiling at Ruan Wu.

After eating Ruan Wu’s dinner, the radiant smile on Xia Zhiyu’s face was tinged with satisfaction. The lazy look in her half-closed eyes always made Ruan Wu’s heart race. She felt that Xia Zhiyu seemed to be getting more and more beautiful. Even Ruan Wu found it difficult not to blush when looking at her.

“What could Minister Li possibly want with you?” Ruan Wu asked curiously.

“Minister Li is a loyal fan of yours, Ruan Ruan, so of course he came to me for you. Xie Rongrong claimed to be your assistant, so Minister Li was worried that she might pose a threat to you after finding out she’s Xie Wuyu’s daughter. He chatted with me for a while. Speaking of which, Minister Li is very concerned about you. It seems quite nice to have a fan who cares about your safety so much.”

Ruan Wu nodded. “Minister Li’s work ability is indeed excellent. He’s loyal to the company, has a good reputation, and is very reliable in the eyes of the employees.” Aside from misunderstanding her feelings for Xia Zhiyu, just like Song Yourui and the others, he was basically fine. She was actually considering promoting him.

Xia Zhiyu took out a robe. She told Ruan Wu, “Ms. Ruan, I’m going to take a shower now.”

“Mhm. Go ahead. I’ll continue working.” Seeing the robe, Ruan Wu couldn’t help but recall the incident where she accidentally gave Xia Zhiyu the wrong robe, and that Xia Zhiyu knew about it.

She immediately shifted her attention to the computer screen, pretending to be calm.

Xia Zhiyu naturally noticed Ruan Wu’s sudden discomfort. She curled her lips, thinking Ruan Wu’s attempt to feign composure was utterly adorable.

Xia Zhiyu entered the bathroom, and Ruan Wu sighed in relief. Just as she was about to resume work, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw a message from Minister Li to her alternate account in the group chat.

Since Minister Li couldn’t send private messages to group members, he had tried adding her as a friend. Ruan Wu had agreed, and now they had each other’s contact information.

Ruan Wu clicked on the alternate account’s WeChat, which had no chat history other than the group chat, and saw Minister Li’s message.

MinisterLi: [Cautious Peeking Head] Ms. Ruan, Secretary Xia isn’t next to you, is she?

Ruan Wu narrowed her eyes. Why does Minister Li suddenly want to chat with her behind Xia Zhiyu’s back?

RuanWu: No, she isn’t.

MinisterLi: That’s good. I’m only contacting you because I’m extremely anxious, Ms. Ruan. Otherwise, I would never bother you.

RuanWu: Say what you need to say.

MinisterLi: Okay, I’ll be direct.

Minister Li immediately converted his worries into text and sent them to Ruan Wu.

MinisterLi: Ms. Ruan, I didn’t check my phone all day. Just now, I saw in the group chat that you have a new Omega assistant by your side. Her name is Xie Rongrong. She’s cute and comes from a prominent family. But when I asked Secretary Xia, she said Xie Rongrong wasn’t your assistant but her assistant. I was utterly shocked to see that message, Ms. Ruan! This is an act of welcoming a wolf into the house!

RuanWu: ?

Minister Li switched to typing on his computer at home. His fingers flew across the keyboard.

MinisterLi: Ms. Ruan, other people may not understand Secretary Xia’s charm, but shouldn’t you, the person closest to her, understand it? How could you put an Omega who’s decent in every way next to Secretary Xia? Aren’t you just setting yourself up for a romantic rival when Xie Rongrong falls in love with Secretary Xia? I know Secretary Xia is a good person and wouldn’t do anything to betray you, but wouldn’t it bother you to see an Omega who likes Secretary Xia constantly lingering around her?

Ruan Wu: “…” Thank you. I’m already getting annoyed, but it’s not because I like Xia Zhiyu. I just don’t like my friend being constantly pestered.

RuanWu: Xie Rongrong doesn’t like Secretary Xia.

MinisterLi: I know. Secretary Xia already told me all that. She even said Xie Rongrong likes you, Ms. Ruan, and even dislikes her because of you. However, I don’t think Xie Rongrong’s dislike will last long. As I said before, Ms. Ruan, you should understand Secretary Xia’s fatal charm better than anyone.

RuanWu: So?

MinisterLi: Ms. Ruan, you should immediately transfer Xie Rongrong away from Secretary Xia! Before she falls in love with Secretary Xia!

RuanWu: Minister Li, you’ve worked hard today. Get some rest early.

Ruan Wu frowned, typing this message and exiting WeChat.

Minister Li was fine in every way, but he was too much of a worrywart. Even if Xie Rongrong really did fall for Xia Zhiyu, what would happen? First, Xie Wuyu would never accept Xia Zhiyu’s background because he was an extremely feudal male Alpha who believed in matching social statuses. Therefore, Xie Rongrong would never have a chance to be with Xia Zhiyu.

I can’t control everyone’s feelings. Not everyone in the company likes Xia Zhiyu. Aside from Yu Qingyi, why didn’t Minister Li worry about anyone else?

Ruan Wu guessed that Minister Li probably knew about Xia Zhiyu’s debt, which was why he instinctively believed that people with money would be attracted to Xia Zhiyu.

But are any of those people richer than me?

After acknowledging Xia Zhiyu as her friend, she offered to pay off Xia Zhiyu’s debt, but Xia Zhiyu refused, which showed that Xia Zhiyu didn’t prioritize money.

She did dislike seeing others cling to Xia Zhiyu, but that was because she felt Xia Zhiyu also disliked it.

If every employee who liked Xia Zhiyu and bothered her was transferred, there would probably only be Minister Li and that cafeteria auntie left in the company.

Xie Rongrong’s internship was only for a month. Xie Wuyu would immediately take her away as soon as the month was over. What kind of true love could develop in just one month?

Ruan Wu put down her phone, ignored Minister Li’s words, and continued to work.

The next day, Xia Zhiyu arrived at the company. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Xie Rongrong proudly stand up and walk toward her. “Secretary Xia, I’ve finished reading all the documents. You can assign me work that involves following Ms. Ruan today.”

Xia Zhiyu smiled. “Little Xie is very capable, but before I assign you work, you need to come with me to the HR department to complete your internship paperwork.”

“Okay, let’s go quickly,” Xie Rongrong urged.

Because she was in a good mood, her hostility toward Xia Zhiyu had lessened considerably. She didn’t stare at Xia Zhiyu in annoyance at every little thing anymore.

Xia Zhiyu led Xie Rongrong to the HR department. Sister Zhou in HR saw her and immediately walked over, smiling at Xia Zhiyu. “Secretary Xia, what brings you here today? The unmarried Omegas and Betas in our office talk about you all the time.”

Sister Zhou didn’t intentionally lower her voice. The people in the office blushed shyly when they heard her words.

“Sister Zhou, don’t talk nonsense.”

Sister Zhou’s eyes curved into a smile. “Haha, I was just teasing. It’s not just the unmarried ones. Everyone in our office wants you to visit.”

Xia Zhiyu smiled. “That’s truly my honor.”

Xie Rongrong’s anger flared. Xia Zhiyu was here to work, yet she was only concerned with flirting with this older woman!

“Secretary Xia, where do I complete my internship paperwork?” Xie Rongrong raised her voice, interrupting their conversation.

Now, everyone’s attention was on Xie Rongrong. Xie Rongrong lifted her chin.

These people should be interrupted. They weren’t working and only gossiped. Otherwise, who knows how long I would have to wait? And that’s time I could be spending working with Ruan Wu!

Xie Rongrong felt she was on the moral high ground and wasn’t afraid of them at all.

A glint flashed in Sister Zhou’s eyes. “This must be Assistant Xie. I heard you’re Ms. Ruan’s assistant. I didn’t expect you to be so young and beautiful in person. Before you and Secretary Xia arrived, Secretary Xia asked us to prepare the necessary forms for your internship. They’ll be ready for you to fill out once they’re printed.”

They were already preparing it. Xie Rongrong’s expression softened a little.

A while later, a young woman wearing glasses walked over with a stack of forms. “I apologize, Secretary Xia. The printer suddenly broke. I had to borrow a printer from another department, which is why I’m late.”

“It’s okay. You look out of breath from running. Hurry up and have a drink of water and rest,” Xia Zhiyu said, handing her a glass of water.

Xie Rongrong was about to fill out the forms when she saw this scene. She found it incredibly grating. She “hmphed” and lowered her head with a cold face.
