After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, the Reborn Omega Always Wants to Cling (GL) - Chapter 16

At 10 a.m., at Orca Capital, a subsidiary of Panhai Group on Central Street, Qin Renfeng was leisurely sipping coffee in his air-conditioned office.

“Ms. Li, CEO Qin is busy right now.”

“Get out of my way!”

The sounds of Li Zhengyin arguing with the assistant were heard. Before Qin Renfeng could say anything, the office door was flung open with a bang.

Li Zhengyin stormed in angrily. “Qin Renfeng, what is the meaning of this?”

Qin Renfeng glanced at the trembling assistant behind her, his gaze sharp and intimidating.

The assistant lowered his head nervously. “I’m sorry, CEO Qin, I couldn’t stop Ms. Li.”

Li Zhengyin sneered at the sight. “Why are you looking at him? I wanted to come in, and he’s a Beta. He couldn’t stop me.”

“You can go now,” Qin Renfeng said. The young assistant looked as if he had been granted a pardon. He nodded and left the office, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

“Ms. Li, you’ve stormed into my office with such a powerful aura. Do you have any instructions for me?” Qin Renfeng asked, leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Li Zhengyin gritted her teeth at his demeanor. “What did Wang Xiang do wrong for you to fire him?”

“He hasn’t closed a single deal in a month. At Orca Capital, we don’t keep lazy people,” Qin Renfeng sneered.

“Heh, is it that he couldn’t close a deal? Or was it your review department that blocked him? Besides, he’s my person. On what grounds do you fire him and go straight to HR without consulting me?” Li Zhengyin slapped the table, causing the high-quality nanmu desk to shake.

Qin Renfeng’s face didn’t change, but he put on an arrogant smile. “I have a 51% stake. I can make decisions about employees’ comings and goings directly. I don’t need to report to you, do I, Ms. Li?”

Li Zhengyin’s face darkened. “He has three younger siblings at home. This job is their family’s only source of income.”

“Heh, I’m running a company, not a charity.”

“His past performance has always been excellent.” Meaning, since you, Qin Renfeng, arrived, he hasn’t had any performance.

Qin Renfeng waved his hand dismissively. “An Omega can only be so capable.”

“You’re being disrespectful, CEO Qin. Weren’t you born to an Omega?” Li Zhengyin said, looking at him, angered by his speech.

Panhai Group already had very few Omega employees. Wang Xiang was an exception because Li Zhengyin had recognized his talent and hired him.

“If you’re here to talk to me about this, I’m not interested,” Qin Renfeng said, standing up to leave.

Li Zhengyin stood there in silence, a few strands of hair covering her bloodshot eyes.

“Oh, right,” Qin Renfeng said, stopping and looking at Li Zhengyin’s back. “Ms. Li, you’ll be signing on new partners early next month. Congratulations in advance.”

After saying this highly sarcastic and condescending remark, Qin Renfeng left the office.

Li Zhengyin clenched her fists and returned to her office, suppressing her anger.

She opened her phone, found Wang Xiang’s number, but her finger hovered over the call button, unable to press it.

Knock, knock, knock… The sound of knocking came from the door. Through the glass, Li Zhengyin saw the person: Chen Qianqian, a veteran of her project department.

“Ms. Li,” Chen Qianqian said, her face looking a little off, her eyes red, as if she had just been crying.

Li Zhengyin saw this and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Qianqian shook her head with red eyes, trying hard not to let the tears fall. “I received a notice of termination.”

“What?” Li Zhengyin stood up abruptly, her face full of indignation. “Who else? Who else received one?”

Wang Xiang and Chen Qianqian were not isolated cases. Li Zhengyin was sure that Qin Renfeng had created many obstacles to undermine her.

“Wang Xiang, myself, Zhao Rui, and a few other veterans. About seven or eight of us.”

“Heh.” Li Zhengyin’s body relaxed, and she sat back down in her chair. “A lot of new faces have appeared in the department recently.”

“Ms. Li, Orca Capital has changed,” Chen Qianqian said, taking a deep breath and mustering up her courage. “It’s not worth it, Ms. Li…”

Li Zhengyin raised her hand to stop her. “Walls have ears.”

Li Zhengyin leaned in and whispered, “Get them all together. We’ll talk outside at noon.”

“Okay,” Chen Qianqian said, suppressing her excitement. Li Zhengyin finally understood, and she was genuinely happy for her.

The group’s lunch meeting was more like a conference. It lasted from noon until the afternoon.

“The Qin family is going too far!” Jiang Xiao, a Orca Capital veteran, was the first to suffer at Qin Renfeng’s hands. “I left as soon as Qin Renfeng came. Guess what? For an entire month, not a single investment bank dared to hire me.”

“Me too,” Wang Xiang said timidly. “A few days ago, when I knew I might be fired, I submitted several resumes, but all of them were rejected.”

Chen Qianqian said indignantly, “They want to wipe us out completely.”

Li Zhengyin hadn’t expected things to go this way. She thought the Qin family wouldn’t be so ruthless.

“That bastard,” Li Zhengyin cursed, picking up her now-cold tea and drinking it all in one gulp.

Bang! She put the teacup down heavily on the table. “Get your resumes ready! We’re switching companies!”

“Where to?” Jiang Xiao quickly stood up and asked.

Wang Xiang also stood up timidly. “Ms. Li, my younger siblings are here. I can’t go abroad.”

Li Zhengyin rolled her eyes at him. “Who said we’re going abroad? We’re going to Fir Capital.”

The words caused everyone present to change their expressions. Li Zhengyin sighed. She knew this would be their reaction.

“Ms. Li, is that the Fir Capital where the half-beast wolf Fu Qingyun is?” Chen Qianqian asked cautiously.

“That ugly thing is even more ruthless,” Jiang Xiao said disapprovingly. “She’s only 25 this year. She’s only been in charge of Fir Capital for a little over a year, but what a spectacular year it’s been.”

Li Zhengyin rubbed her aching temples. “She’s not as bad as you make her out to be. I’ve met her. She’s quite pretty.”

“Is it a matter of being pretty or not?” Chen Qianqian retorted. “When Fu Qingyun takes on a project, she’ll fatten it up. As long as there’s a company willing to acquire it for the right price, she’ll heartlessly sell off the entrepreneurs. Not a single project has lasted in her hands for more than six months.”

“Ms. Li,” Chen Qianqian said earnestly. “Qin Renfeng is a greedy dog, but Fu Qingyun is a heartless wolf.”

“Yeah, I’m not optimistic about going to Fir Capital,” Jiang Xiao said.

The other veterans also agreed…

Li Zhengyin thought for a moment. “In the entire Jing City circle, who besides the Fu family isn’t afraid of the Qin family?”

Everyone fell silent. Li Zhengyin narrowed her eyes and scanned the group. “Other than Fir Capital, if we can’t go abroad, do we have any other options?”

“But… we don’t know anyone from the Fu family,” Jiang Xiao’s tone had softened.

Li Zhengyin took out a business card from her suit jacket. “I do.”

She then dialed the number on the card and, thoughtfully, put it on speakerphone.

The call was connected…

“Hello.”

“Are you free tonight? Join me for a drink.”

“Okay. What time? What’s the location?”

“I’ll text you the address. Eight o’clock. Don’t be late.”

“Don’t be late.”

With just a few simple sentences, Li Zhengyin hung up the phone. Everyone around her stared with wide eyes after hearing Fu Qingyun’s voice.

Wang Xiang cautiously spoke. “Could we all have a misunderstanding about this person?” She doesn’t sound like the person everyone describes.

“That’s just a facade,” Jiang Xiao said haughtily.

Li Zhengyin rolled her eyes at him. “Who’s coming with me tonight?”

“I am,” Jiang Xiao said, raising his hand first.

Chen Qianqian also raised her hand. “Just me and Jiang, then.”

“Sounds good,” Jiang Xiao agreed. He glanced at the eager Wang Xiang. “Not you. You have to take care of your younger siblings.”

After they made their decision, Li Zhengyin booked a simple bar and sent the address to Fu Qingyun. However…

She looked at the sinister expressions on Jiang Xiao and Chen Qianqian’s faces. She knew they had ill intentions. Li Zhengyin inwardly lit a candle for Fu Qingyun.

“Sister Fu~.” Su Ziqin could now enter Fir Capital without any trouble. Everyone in the company knew the boss’s wife.

Fu Qingyun pulled a chair over and placed it next to her workstation. “Come on.”

Su Ziqin’s expression changed, and she went forward and hugged Fu Qingyun. “Are you still mad at me?”

“Why would I be mad?” Fu Qingyun said calmly.

Su Ziqin rubbed her chest. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so harsh with my questions. I didn’t know you had congenital analgesia. I’ll be more careful from now on.”

Over the past few days, Su Ziqin had done a lot of research on Fu Qingyun’s symptoms. She had concluded that Fu Qingyun likely had congenital analgesia.

“Mhm. I’m not mad at you.” Fu Qingyun hadn’t expected Su Ziqin’s mind to be so dramatic. She even suspected I have congenital analgesia. But this was a good thing. Congenital analgesia was better than being a monster.

“It’s on you, too. You never told me,” Su Ziqin said, confirming her suspicions after Fu Qingyun’s response. It seemed that after the scumbag’s pheromones changed in this life, her body had developed many problems.

Fu Qingyun replied calmly, “It’s a recent development.”

12138 exclaimed inwardly. My honest Bigshot is actually bluffing people now?

“So, does this mean I understand you now?” Su Ziqin asked, raising her head and looking at Fu Qingyun with a proud smile.

Fu Qingyun didn’t want her to dwell on these questions anymore. “Su Ziqin, you don’t need to understand me.”

“I want to,” Su Ziqin insisted. If I don’t understand you, how can I capture your heart?

Fu Qingyun sat down and opened her computer. “Stop talking and let me look at your plan.”

“Okay,” Su Ziqin said with confidence, pulling a USB drive with her plan on it from her backpack. She plugged it into the computer and opened it.

“Here, take a look.”

The plan was over twenty pages long, and it was clear that Su Ziqin had worked hard on it.

Fu Qingyun scrolled through it quickly, taking less than thirty seconds to read all twenty-plus pages.

Su Ziqin angrily grabbed Fu Qingyun’s hand. “What are you doing? If you don’t want to look at it, then don’t. Don’t be so dismissive of my hard work.”

Fu Qingyun took her finger and pointed at a spot on the screen. “This is wrong. The formula is incorrect.”

Su Ziqin looked at Fu Qingyun suspiciously, then looked at the spot she was pointing to. There was indeed a small error.

“You’re right.”

“And here,” Fu Qingyun said, scrolling the mouse and stopping on a page. “Your method of attracting businesses is wrong.”

This time, Su Ziqin disagreed. “What’s wrong with it? Isn’t this how everyone does it? Telemarketing, cold calls, and referrals.”

“Those are all outdated,” Fu Qingyun said bluntly. “You need to learn how to package yourself.”

“Package myself?”

This concept was relatively new in this era.

“It’s like you’re holding an event. You promote yourself so that more people see you. Good projects will naturally attract similar-minded people,” Fu Qingyun said, opening a few financial news articles.

“Take Li Zhengyin as an example. She’s famous and capable, so many projects naturally come looking for her.”

Su Ziqin repeated, “Famous…”

12138 clicked its tongue in admiration. [This era doesn’t even have the concept of public relations yet.]

[That’s why so many good projects go undiscovered.]

“Famous, and you also have to be good. It’s like your forum. If the forum is good, users will naturally come. It will also be noticed by investors like me. Since you have the foundation of the forum, why not use it?”

Fu Qingyun’s words were a revelation to Su Ziqin. Right. Why did I want to create a new website when I could just use the forum to attract traffic?

“Sister Fu is so smart,” she said, then pecked Fu Qingyun on the cheek. She then stopped sitting in the chair Fu Qingyun had given her and sat in Fu Qingyun’s lap to revise her plan.

Seeing that she had given enough advice, Fu Qingyun didn’t say anything else. She leaned back in her chair and rested. She didn’t know how much time had passed.

Everyone at Fir Capital had left. Fu Qingyun looked at the time on the computer; it was already 7 p.m.

“I have to go. Are you going to revise your plan here or go home?”

“Are you going to see Ms. Li?” Su Ziqin asked, her hands still typing on the keyboard.

“Yes.”

Su Ziqin sped up her work. “Wait for me. I’ll be done in ten minutes.”

“You want to go?”

“She’s an interesting person. And if I can poach her, won’t she be working for me anyway?”

Fu Qingyun thought that made sense. And since Li Zhengyin had invited her for a drink, she said, “Then don’t drink tonight.”

“Huh?” Su Ziqin stopped. “She invited you for a drink?” That doesn’t sound like a proper invitation.

“Where? Charm Palace again?”

Fu Qingyun poked her on the forehead. “A normal drink.”

Su Ziqin pretended to be in pain and covered her forehead. “Then I have to go even more. How do I know if it’s ‘normal’?”

Looking at the alluring beauty mark near Fu Qingyun’s eye, Su Ziqin muttered again, “Who knows? There might be another little vixen waiting to give you an inducer.”
