After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, the Reborn Omega Always Wants to Cling (GL) - Chapter 20
The mornings are always pleasant, but for the employees of Orca Capital, this morning was anything but.
From the moment he stepped into the company, Qin Renfeng noticed that the employees who would usually greet him enthusiastically were now all looking down, not daring to meet his eyes.
He didn’t think much of it. He brewed a cup of coffee for himself, walked into his office, and sat down. He looked at the good projects that Li Zhengyin had left behind on his desk, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
He had been happy when he received Li Zhengyin’s resignation. His plan was to drive Li Zhengyin out of Orca Capital. With Panhai Group’s influence, Li Zhengyin would be unable to find a foothold in the country and would have to go abroad.
That way, Qin Renfeng could sit comfortably on the Orca Capital throne without giving up any shares and still get Li Zhengyin’s projects.
With that in mind, Qin Renfeng dialed the number of the first project manager. “CEO Bai, regarding your project, we can sign the contract today.”
To his surprise, the person on the other end wasn’t as enthusiastic as he had imagined. “CEO Qin, we’ve thought it over and decided to partner with Fir Capital instead.”
“Fir Capital? CEO Bai…” Before Qin Renfeng could say anything else, the person hung up.
A bad feeling spread in Qin Renfeng’s heart. He called the other project managers, and without exception, he received the news that they had all partnered with Fir Capital.
“Damn it!” Qin Renfeng slapped the nanmu desk.
His phone rang, and Qin Renfeng didn’t even look at the caller ID. He just picked it up and said in a bad tone, “Hello!”
“Did you see the news?” The voice on the other end was cold and stern.
Hearing the voice, Qin Renfeng immediately changed his tone to a respectful one.
“Father.”
The person on the other end of the phone was Qin Sihai, the true head of the Panhai Group and Qin Renfeng’s Alpha father.
Qin Sihai’s tone was sharp. “I asked you, did you see the news?”
“No,” Qin Renfeng replied nervously.
Qin Sihai scoffed. “Then turn on your computer and see what’s in today’s financial news.”
Qin Renfeng immediately opened his computer and went to the financial section. The front page was dominated by two familiar faces.
The bold, red words were a stab to Qin Renfeng’s eyes. “The Jing City Investing Tiger, Li Zhengyin, Leaves Orca Capital to Become the First Partner of Fir Capital.”
“Fu Qingyun!” Qin Renfeng gritted his teeth. “Father, I’m going to find Li Zhengyin and ask her what this is about.”
“Ask what?” Qin Sihai stopped him. “Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? I told you to either make her work for us or push her abroad to fend for herself, and you went and handed her to the Fu family?”
“I… Father, there must be something wrong. Li Zhengyin had looked at several foreign firms recently.”
“Heh, you’re truly foolish. I checked Li Zhengyin’s call records. She only made one call to Fu Qingyun, and she was the one who initiated it.” In Qin Sihai’s eyes, Qin Renfeng’s methods were too immature. He had pushed Li Zhengyin too hard, which was why she had gone to Fu Qingyun.
“Father, don’t worry. I’ll take care of…”
“Don’t say another word. Just take care of Orca Capital. Don’t meddle in Panhai’s affairs for now,” Qin Sihai said before hanging up.
Qin Renfeng stared blankly at the dark phone screen. He knew his father was starting to sideline him.
He picked up the now-cold coffee on his desk and chugged it down. “Fu Qingyun!”
Bang! The white coffee mug fell to the ground and shattered into a mess.
At Fir Capital, after Fu Qingyun finished the project handover with Li Zhengyin, she found herself with some free time. Since Su Ziqin’s small company was starting today, Fu Qingyun decided to go and check on them.
[Today, the common people are so very happy,] 12138 hummed in her mind, feeling content.
Fu Qingyun asked, [You’re that happy?]
12138 replied excitedly, [Of course! Bigshot, look at what the plot has become!]
12138 then projected the plot’s status into Fu Qingyun’s mind. The once-perfect plot, a flawless sphere, now had a large, shattered piece missing.
[Originally, Li Zhengyin’s ending wasn’t good. She was forced to go abroad and struggle to survive. But your move not only changed Li Zhengyin’s ending but also dealt a heavy blow to the male lead. His career has taken a significant hit. Didn’t you feel your body relax a lot just now?]
Fu Qingyun stretched her shoulders and replied, [Now that you mention it, I do.]
[Hehe. The plot’s effect on you isn’t that big, so you didn’t feel it immediately. That’s normal. By the way, Bigshot, when are we going to country Y? You’re setting up a lab to develop a stabilizing agent for your body, right?]
12138 understood Fu Qingyun very well. Fu Qingyun nodded. [Yes. I’ll go as soon as things with Su Ziqin are stable.]
[Bigshot, I don’t get it. The little villain’s pheromones can directly stabilize your body. Why do you have to go through all the trouble of setting up a lab?]
Fu Qingyun’s finger, which was about to press the elevator button, paused. She then pressed the down button. [I am not a character in this book. After I fulfill my destiny, I won’t be staying here. Relying too much on a character from the book is not wise.]
[Then where are you going, Bigshot? Take me with you.]
Hearing 12138’s excited voice, Fu Qingyun’s heart warmed. With this whiny little system, Fu Qingyun didn’t feel as lonely. [I’ll go to other parallel universes or continue to find a place to do research and explore more knowledge.]
12138 had met many brain developers, but none had developed their brains to 75% like Fu Qingyun. However, all of them, without exception, had a very strong desire for knowledge, just like Fu Qingyun.
[Then I’ll take you to our Desolate Bureau. There are a lot of systems like me there. We can also go to other small worlds in other books.]
Fu Qingyun had cut off its connection to the main system, which in a way, gave 12138 a certain amount of freedom. As long as the plot was disrupted and Fu Qingyun completed her brain development in this world, 12138 could gain true freedom.
What 12138 was looking forward to was exactly what Fu Qingyun was looking forward to.
She walked out of the elevator. The 17th floor was exceptionally quiet today. Chen Xi and Kong Shuangshuang were out on business, leaving only Su Ziqin and Xu Zhiqian writing code on the 17th floor.
Fu Qingyun didn’t disturb them. She found a seat behind Su Ziqin and sat down. It wasn’t until she noticed a very obvious error in Su Ziqin’s code that she spoke.
Fu Qingyun reached out and pointed at the error. “This is wrong.”
Su Ziqin was startled by the sudden sound. She turned her head and said, “You scared me.”
With that, Su Ziqin corrected the code where Fu Qingyun had pointed.
“Are you not busy today?”
Fu Qingyun nodded. “No. After the project handover with Ms. Li, I don’t have to worry about the project department anymore.”
When Xu Zhiqian heard the words “Ms. Li,” her ears perked up. She immediately asked Fu Qingyun, “Sister Fu, is Ms. Li seeing anyone? What kind of Omega does she like?”
Su Ziqin gave her a look of disdain, thinking to herself that this person still hadn’t given up. If these two troublesome people got together, the image gave Su Ziqin the chills.
Su Ziqin said to Xu Zhiqian in a bad tone, “Why are you asking her? If you’re so brave, why don’t you go and ask Sister Yin yourself?”
Xu Zhiqian’s eyes darted around. “You’re right.” She then saved her code.
She picked up her laptop and waved at Su Ziqin and Fu Qingyun. “I’ve decided to write my code somewhere else. I won’t disturb you two lovebirds.”
“Get out of here,” Su Ziqin said, rolling her eyes.
After Xu Zhiqian left, only she and Fu Qingyun were left on the 17th floor. Su Ziqin focused on writing her code.
Fu Qingyun flipped through their plan and said calmly, “I’ll be going to country Y for a while.”
Su Ziqin’s fingers paused on the keyboard. She said with a complicated expression, “When? For how long? What for?”
Fu Qingyun didn’t hide anything from her. “I’m going to country Y. A professor invited me to have a chat.”
“A professor?” Su Ziqin turned to look at Fu Qingyun. “Michael Smith?”
“Yes.”
Su Ziqin was a little speechless. She had always thought that Fu Qingyun only wrote papers for others and gave them her opinion. It seemed that Fu Qingyun was a true expert in biotechnology.
“When are you leaving?”
Fu Qingyun closed the plan in her hand and looked at Su Ziqin. “After your work here is stable. There are a lot of good businesses and products in country Y. You can go and negotiate with them too.”
Su Ziqin’s eyes lit up at the thought of going to country Y, but they dimmed a moment later. “But I’ve just started here. If I have to wait until it’s stable, it’ll probably be after school starts.”
Fu Qingyun stood up and pushed Su Ziqin’s office chair aside. She grabbed a chair for herself and placed it in front of the computer. She sat down and said, “That’s why I’m here to help you.”
When Su Ziqin saw that she was about to start coding, she slipped into Fu Qingyun’s arms and sat on her lap. “Together?”
“Alright. I’ll go a little slower.”
Fu Qingyun said she would go slower, but she was still very fast. At first, Su Ziqin could barely keep up with her speed. Fu Qingyun was very patient. At every crucial point, she would stop and let Su Ziqin write the code herself.
Gradually, Su Ziqin didn’t even realize that she was writing code faster and faster, and Fu Qingyun’s involvement was getting less and less until finally, Su Ziqin was the only one sitting in front of the computer, writing code.
When Su Ziqin hit the enter key and the code ran successfully, she said excitedly, “Done!”
But no one responded to her joy. Su Ziqin turned her body to the side, looking at the person behind her in confusion.
The Alpha was lying on the chair, asleep. Her beautiful, serene face was like a masterpiece, frozen in time in Su Ziqin’s eyes.
Su Ziqin unconsciously curled her lips into a faint smile.
Suddenly, the Alpha’s brows furrowed, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on her pale forehead.
“Sister Fu?” Su Ziqin turned and straddled her, calling out softly.
Fu Qingyun didn’t respond. Her brows furrowed even more. Su Ziqin saw this and quickly put her hands on her shoulders and shouted, “Fu Qingyun!”
Fu Qingyun opened her eyes and took a deep breath.
Su Ziqin asked, “What did you dream about?” This was the first time she had seen Fu Qingyun like this in this lifetime.
Fu Qingyun’s brain was a little shaken, and her body was starting to feel unstable again. Fu Qingyun grabbed Su Ziqin’s left hand on her shoulder and gently placed it on her face.
Fu Qingyun looked into Su Ziqin’s amber eyes and said softly, “Su Ziqin, can you give me some of your pheromones?”
