After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, the Reborn Omega Always Wants to Cling (GL) - Chapter 15
In the following weeks, Qing University held its pre-summer business startup conference.
Su Ziqin was busier than ever with her startup plan, leaving early and coming home late. Fu Qingyun, on the other hand, had moved into her office, only occasionally returning home to change clothes.
Things seemed to be unfolding as Fu Qingyun had anticipated. Su Yingying and Yu Xi had switched roles, and with the web series in production, Su Yingying no longer had time to bother Fu Qingyun.
Even from her high-rise office, Fu Qingyun could clearly hear the annoying cicadas outside her window, complaining about the excessively hot weather.
Her computer screen was on, displaying a conversation.
[Study_Hard: Thanks, God. I’ve finished organizing the e-commerce proposal you suggested. Several businesses at today’s conference were very interested.]
[12138: You’re welcome, forum owner. I just gave you some ideas; the plan was entirely your own.]
[Study_Hard: You’re too humble. A few of my classmates are also interested. We’ll probably finalize an office location before the summer break.]
[12138: Then I wish you all the best in advance.]
Fu Qingyun didn’t move. 12138 handled the entire conversation with Su Ziqin. After the chat ended, Fu Qingyun reclined in her office chair for a short nap.
[Bigshot, are you and the little villain in a fight?] 12138 thought the two of them had been acting strangely recently, or, more specifically, the Bigshot had been.
Before, the Bigshot would be very concerned about the little villain not studying hard. Now, she was completely hands-off, letting 12138 handle all the reminders.
[No. Isn’t she busy at school? And she’s finished the e-commerce plan. I don’t need to keep pushing her to study,] Fu Qingyun denied.
12138 was skeptical, but it didn’t feel right to ask the Bigshot. It just said, [Alright.]
Fu Qingyun said, [By the way, contact a security company and have them protect Yu Xi. I’m worried Su Yingying might try to harm her.]
12138 said, [Okay, Bigshot.]
The two were silent for a while. Then, 12138 brought up a new topic. [That dream you had was the original owner’s memory. Maybe there’s a connection between you two?]
[Maybe.]
Ding dong~ The email notification sound rang.
Fu Qingyun opened the email and saw it was from Professor Smith.
{Smith: Dear Yun, I read your paper and found it very insightful. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to LD University? We can discuss this in person.}
Fu Qingyun placed her hands on the keyboard, staring at the short email.
[Bigshot, accept it. The technology in China isn’t enough to help you build a research team, but this foreign professor is very knowledgeable.]
Fu Qingyun shook her head. [I know, but if I do, we might have to leave China for a long time.]
12138 was silent for a few seconds. [Then take the little villain with you. She’ll be safe as long as she’s with you.]
[I wasn’t worried about her,] Fu Qingyun immediately denied.
[Oh.]
[But you’re right. Leaving her alone in the plot’s vortex isn’t a wise choice.]
With that, Fu Qingyun replied to Professor Smith. {Yun: I need to discuss the trip to Country Y with my wife.}
The reply came quickly. {Smith: Of course. 576xxx, I’ll be waiting for your call.}
The office fell silent. Fu Qingyun was very efficient with her work. She was usually free by 3 p.m. every day, a time she used to chat with 12138 and solve some problems related to the plot.
But today was a little different. Her phone rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.
Fu Qingyun answered. “Hello.”
“Are you free tonight? Join me for a drink.” Li Zhengyin’s voice came through the receiver, sounding a bit agitated and in a bad mood.
Fu Qingyun knew that this mighty tiger of Jing City was about to walk into the “trap” she had set. “Okay. What time? What’s the location?”
“I’ll text you the address. Eight o’clock. Don’t be late.”
“Don’t be late.”
The call ended. Fu Qingyun played with her phone, feeling a bit lighter inside. Even the annoying cicadas outside didn’t seem so bothersome anymore.
At Qing University, the startup conference had just ended. Su Ziqin was in a multimedia classroom, having just finished introducing her plan to her new team members.
“That’s an amazing idea,” said Xu Zhiqian, a female Omega and Su Ziqin’s former roommate. They were both in the computer science department.
When Su Ziqin lived in the dorms before her marriage to Fu Qingyun, Xu Zhiqian was her closest friend.
“Yeah, you really are a top student. How did you come up with that, goddess?” said the male Beta, Chen Xi, a senior in the mechanical and electrical engineering department. He was about to graduate and was deeply attracted to Su Ziqin’s plan.
“My goddess is just different,” said Kong Shuangshuang, a female Alpha and a junior in the business school. She had a Japanese-style boyish charm and many admirers at school.
Seeing the two of them so enthusiastic, Xu Zhiqian quickly shielded Su Ziqin. “You two, watch it. Don’t get any funny ideas about our Ziqin.”
Chen Xi scratched his head, speaking honestly. “Hey, Qian, you misunderstood. I only have admiration for the goddess, no ulterior motives! Right, Kong?” He elbowed Kong Shuangshuang.
“Huh?” Kong Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment. “Oh, right.”
Then she remembered something. Kong Shuangshuang looked at Su Ziqin, who was focused on coding. “Ziqin, I heard you got married. Is it true?”
“Yes,” Su Ziqin admitted openly. After all, the scumbag in this life was very presentable. It was the perfect way to fend off unwanted attention at school.
Xu Zhiqian took a map of Jing City out of her bag and spread it on the desk. “Stop chatting and let’s look at office locations.”
The other three gathered around. The large map was complex, but Su Ziqin’s eyes immediately found the words “Commercial Street.” That was where Fir Capital was located.
“Here,” Su Ziqin said, pointing to the location.
Kong Shuangshuang looked at Su Ziqin with some difficulty. “It’s not cheap there. Isn’t that too ambitious for our startup?”
Kong Shuangshuang came from a good family, but it was just a middle-class one. Her business instincts told her that renting an office on Commercial Street was not a good idea for a startup.
“Yeah, Ziqin. How about we look somewhere else?” Xu Zhiqian also advised.
Su Ziqin thought for a moment. Fir Capital was currently on floors 15 to 18 of Building A in the Commercial Street office center.
She wasn’t sure about the cost. It might not be a good deal, but she remembered the scene of that person on the balcony…
“I want to be close to her,” Su Ziqin blurted out. She wanted to learn more about Fu Qingyun. And Fu Qingyun was very capable, so she could ask her for help with things she didn’t understand.
“Who~?” Xu Zhiqian asked with a suggestive smile, poking Su Ziqin’s arm. “Your Alpha?”
“Ooh~,” Chen Xi also teased.
Although Fu Qingyun had been to Qing University before, it wasn’t for long, and the three of them had never met her. They had only heard rumors.
“I still think this location isn’t a good idea,” Kong Shuangshuang insisted.
Su Ziqin shrugged. “I can just ask her for an office to use for now.” The current Su Ziqin didn’t mind taking advantage of Fu Qingyun.
She took out her phone and called Fu Qingyun. The call was answered after two rings.
“Sister Fu, are you busy?” Su Ziqin asked sweetly.
“No, I’m not. Are you done with the startup conference?” Su Ziqin had the call on speakerphone, and the three people in the room all perked up their ears at the cool and sexy voice.
Su Ziqin hummed in agreement and continued, “I found a few classmates to work with. Didn’t you say you wanted to invest in me?”
“I thought you had forgotten.”
Su Ziqin clicked her tongue. “How could I? Sister Fu, I need your investment now. I want an office.”
Fu Qingyun asked, “Where?” Her tone was simple and direct.
Su Ziqin raised an eyebrow. “Close to you.”
“Okay. Tell Han Yu, and she’ll arrange it.”
Su Ziqin knew Fu Qingyun was about to hang up. “Wait, are you free tonight?” She hadn’t made her presence known to the scumbag in a while.
“No, I’m not.”
“Who are you meeting?” Su Ziqin asked jokingly.
“Li Zhengyin.” Fu Qingyun didn’t hide it.
Su Ziqin was stunned for a moment. She had almost forgotten about this person. Right, I was supposed to trick her into making money. “Then I’ll come find you first.”
“Why?”
The cold tone made Su Ziqin grit her teeth. “To hand in my homework, Sister Fu~.”
“Okay.”
Su Ziqin… I knew it. The scumbag would get excited if I said that. I don’t know why she’s so obsessed with me studying.
After she hung up, Xu Zhiqian was the first to speak sarcastically. “Well, well, our goddess is going on a date and won’t play with us.”
“Haha, I’m pretty balanced knowing I’m not the only one the goddess has abandoned,” Chen Xi said, taking it well.
Kong Shuangshuang was silent. “Your Alpha’s voice is so cold.”
Su Ziqin waved her hand and started packing her things. “That’s just how she is.”
“Tsk,” Xu Zhiqian said. “I’m a little curious what your Alpha looks like. The rumors say she beat up Song Chen, so I always thought she was a muscular type. But her voice doesn’t sound like it.”
Su Ziqin laughed when she heard that. “We’ll be working in the same building, so you’ll see her often.”
Su Ziqin thought Xu Zhiqian’s imagination was wild. Fu Qingyun had a slender waist and long legs; nothing about her resembled a muscular build.
“Is it really okay for us to use her office?” Kong Shuangshuang asked.
Chen Xi waved his hand at her. “Kong, why are you thinking so much? They’re family. What’s wrong with using an office?”
“Exactly,” Xu Zhiqian agreed. “Our Ziqin is all hers, so what’s an office? Didn’t you hear Ziqin say she’s going to hand in her homework?”
As Xu Zhiqian said this, she glanced at the scent patch on Su Ziqin’s neck. Su Ziqin slapped her hand. “Can you not? Your mind is full of nothing but dirty thoughts.”
She had lived with this roommate for a year. She was a good person, but her mouth was terribly crude.
“Oh, life is boring. It’s fun to make dirty jokes once in a while,” Xu Zhiqian said.
Su Ziqin smiled helplessly. “I wonder what kind of person will finally tame you?”
“Tsk, I might talk crudely, but my standards are not low. The Alpha I’m looking for must have broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and be gentle yet dominant. And their fingers have to be long!” Xu Zhiqian said, her face filled with longing.
Hearing these lewd words, Chen Xi and Kong Shuangshuang both looked away awkwardly. Su Ziqin, who was the only one used to her, patted her. “Stop fantasizing for now. When you’re rich, I won’t stop you from hiring eight hundred Alphas.”
“My sister understands me. You go on your date. I’m going to start programming the new website and build the foundation. Once we make some money… hahaha.”
Su Ziqin…
Chen Xi…
Kong Shuangshuang…
After saying goodbye to her three startup partners, Su Ziqin got into the driver’s seat of her sports car. She didn’t start the engine, instead leaning tiredly against the seat.
She stared blankly at the car ceiling. She had been trying to stop thinking about Fu Qingyun for a while now, even intentionally avoiding her. But she was just too curious about Fu Qingyun.
“What’s wrong with me? Have I forgotten how she treated me in my last life?” She covered her face with her hands, then composed herself. No matter what Fu Qingyun was like, it was best to stick to her original plan.
“Sister Fu, I’m coming~.” The little fox, with a composed look and a smile in her eyes, drove her car out of the Qing University parking lot.
