After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, the Reborn Omega Always Wants to Cling (GL) - Chapter 22

The set was hot and there was no air conditioning. After Su Yingying’s fifth failed take, Director Zhao’s smile disappeared completely.

“Su Yingying, take a break,” Director Zhao said, displeased.

Su Yingying gave a fake, businesslike smile. “My apologies, Director Zhao.”

Director Zhao didn’t respond, just waved his hand at her in annoyance.

Su Yingying returned to her dressing room, and the fake smile on her face vanished. “Damn it,” she muttered, kicking a chair angrily.

She hadn’t expected Yu Xi to be so good at acting, always overpowering her. What was worse was that the thugs she’d hired hadn’t managed to do anything to her.

Her phone rang. Su Yingying took a deep breath before answering. “Hello, I thought we weren’t supposed to contact each other?”

Song Chen’s voice came from the other end. “Heh, Su Yingying. Your Su family is really something. If we can’t collaborate, then we can’t. Why are you so persistent with my Song family?”

Su Yingying frowned. “What are you talking about? I’ve been on set lately. I have no idea what collaboration you’re talking about.”

“Oh, I forgot you’re a big celebrity,” Song Chen said sarcastically.

The words were indeed sarcastic. Su Yingying was only a minor actress in the entertainment industry, going to school and taking on small roles. The words “big celebrity” were definitely mocking her.

Su Yingying tightened her grip on her phone and gritted her teeth. “What is it?”

“Alright, alright. Your parents have a new brand of personal care products and want to sell them at our hotel chain. Unfortunately, my parents don’t think the brand is established or reliable enough, so they didn’t agree.”

Su Yingying raised an eyebrow, knowing that it was exactly the kind of thing her parents would do. “And what happened then?” she asked.

“Nothing much, just that they’ve been hanging around my father’s company for the past two days, and your mother keeps coming to my house to see my mom. You know how that generation values their reputation. They couldn’t directly tell your parents to stop, and they know you and I have a connection, so they asked me to do it.”

Su Yingying raised an eyebrow. “Is that all?” She felt like Song Chen was hiding something.

Song Chen cleared his throat. “Not exactly. I’ll be direct with you. Our hotel has had a partnership with Oasis Group for many years. It’s impossible for your parents to get a deal, no matter how hard they try.”

“Oasis?” Su Yingying muttered the name, her eyes narrowing with a hint of danger. “Which Fu family?”

Song Chen paused for a moment. “The Fu family that Fu Qingyun belongs to. My Song family is too small to go against a giant like them. To be honest, my father even said it’s our honor to be able to work with the Fu family, since their prices are fair and their supply is stable.”

The Song and Fu families had always had a partnership, so Song Chen had met Fu Qingyun before. However, the original owner had no memory of him. After all, there was a huge gap between the Song and Fu families. The Fu family had no reason to remember a hotel that collaborated with a small brand under their umbrella.

Su Yingying pondered for a long time, wondering if there was a win-win situation. She was in a relationship with Qin Renfeng, but the Panhai Group didn’t have a suitable hotel chain.

On the other hand, Fir Capital had invested in many hotel projects. Su Yingying thought this was a good opportunity.

“Song Chen, do you want to get Su Ziqin?” Su Yingying’s eyes flashed with a sinister light.

Song Chen snorted. “I can’t mess with Fu Qingyun. Don’t try to egg me on to do something like that.”

Su Yingying sneered. “If their relationship were really that great, Su Ziqin wouldn’t be without even a temporary mark on her.”

Su Yingying remembered clearly that the last time she saw Su Ziqin at Charm Palace, there wasn’t a hint of Alpha pheromones on her. It was laughable that she hadn’t realized it at the time.

Song Chen paused for a few seconds. “Really?” He then hid the joy in his voice, feigning a serious tone. “Then why did Fu Qingyun beat me up so badly at school?”

Su Yingying’s expression relaxed. “An Alpha needs to save face. You were messing with her wife in public. What Alpha wouldn’t put you in your place?” Su Yingying had heard about what happened at school.

Deep down, Su Yingying still hadn’t accepted the fact that Fu Qingyun genuinely didn’t like her. In her opinion, it was just another way for Fu Qingyun to play hard to get.

Song Chen also felt that this made some sense. After all, when Fu Qingyun had attacked him, she only dislocated his shoulder and quickly put it back in place. Although it hurt, it didn’t cause any real harm.

“What do you want to do?” A glint flashed in Song Chen’s eyes. He still had feelings for Su Ziqin.

“We collaborate.” Su Yingying sat down in front of the makeup mirror and crossed her right leg over her left. “You convince your parents to agree to the collaboration between our two families. You can then go and talk to the Su family. Remember to tell my parents that you want to talk to Su Ziqin, since you’re classmates.”

“But what if Su Ziqin doesn’t come?” Song Chen worried.

Su Yingying tilted her head back and laughed. “That’s not your problem. Su Ziqin will come. You just need to figure out how to convince your parents.”

“That’s easy. My parents spoil me,” Song Chen said, a little proudly. It was true. The Song family only had one heir in this generation, and his parents would do anything he asked.

Su Yingying was very satisfied with his response. “Alright. Fu Qingyun might come too. I’ll take care of Su Ziqin, and you take care of Fu Qingyun.”

The person on the other end of the phone paused, then laughed. “I thought you looked down on her? What? Have you seen her recently?”

Su Yingying played with her fingers. Her beautiful nails were all removed.

“That’s right. She’s always been mine. I don’t want to give her to Su Ziqin for free,” Su Yingying said with a hint of confidence.

Song Chen had expected Su Yingying to have these thoughts after seeing Fu Qingyun again. “I can only say that I’ll try my best.” Fu Qingyun was not someone to be messed with.

“I’m hanging up.” Su Yingying hung up the phone.

She looked at her gloomy expression in the mirror, then smiled. Su Yingying instantly transformed back into a delicate, innocent flower.

“Sister Yun, you’re mine.”

In the past few days, Su Ziqin had to admire Fu Qingyun’s efficiency. With her help, the new website’s infrastructure was basically complete in just one week.

What was even more amazing was that Fu Qingyun would write a bit of code and then have Su Ziqin write the rest herself. Su Ziqin could feel her own rapid progress.

“Ah~.” Xu Zhiqian sighed deeply and stretched lazily. “We’re finally done, Su Ziqin. Where did you get this training? You’re typing so fast that your hands are a blur.”

Su Ziqin heard this and raised an eyebrow with a smile. “Fu Qingyun’s training camp. It’s a boot camp and it’s free.”

“Ugh~.” Xu Zhiqian shivered in disgust. “You really do take every opportunity to show off.”

Su Ziqin shrugged, not confirming her statement, but not denying it either.

“Ziqin, I’ve contacted over a dozen businesses, and they’re all willing to give it a try,” Kong Shuangshuang said, walking over.

Su Ziqin was impressed by her abilities and knew that Kong Shuangshuang had put in a lot of effort to get the businesses. “Thanks, Sister Kong.”

Xu Zhiqian walked over and put her arm around Su Ziqin’s shoulders. “Boss, we’ve worked hard for a week. Can we go out and get a good meal?”

Su Ziqin rolled her eyes. You worked hard? You spent all week on the 18th floor.

“While we’re out celebrating, what about Senior Chen Xi?” Su Ziqin reminded her.

Chen Xi was in the electrical engineering department, and his field didn’t really match Su Ziqin’s project. He was struggling a bit with Su Ziqin’s work.

But at the time, Su Ziqin’s team had just been formed, and Chen Xi didn’t want to leave. He had just been doing odd jobs for a week until he had a chance to talk to Fu Qingyun about computer chips in the office.

Fu Qingyun affirmed Chen Xi’s idea and was willing to invest in him. They hit it off immediately, and Su Ziqin also agreed to let Chen Xi pursue his own dreams.

Lately, Fu Qingyun had been spending a lot of time with Chen Xi at his small studio in the southern suburbs.

To work on the website’s infrastructure, Su Ziqin and the others had almost been living in the office. Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen Fu Qingyun in a long time.

Xu Zhiqian heard Su Ziqin ask about Chen Xi and immediately changed her expression to a suggestive smile. “Are you thinking about Senior Chen Xi? Or… your Alpha?”

“What are you talking about?” Su Ziqin’s face became a little unnatural. She shook off Xu Zhiqian’s arm.

Kong Shuangshuang saw Su Ziqin’s flushed face and interjected, “Ziqin, Xu Zhiqian is right. You should relax. I’ll take care of Senior Chen Xi. I’ll call him later.”

“Okay.” Su Ziqin’s expression didn’t change, but a blush appeared on her face.

Xu Zhiqian, with her sharp eyes, noticed her strangeness. She leaned in close to Su Ziqin and whispered, “Are you lovesick?”

“Get lost,” Su Ziqin said, glaring at her angrily.

“Sister Kong, you don’t have to bother calling Senior Chen Xi. I’ll call him later.”

After saying that, Su Ziqin covered her face with one hand and ran to the restroom.

Su Ziqin splashed cold water on her face, but it didn’t help with the heat on her cheeks.

Her heart was pounding. No matter how much Su Ziqin tried to calm it down, her heart was like a rebellious wild horse, beating non-stop.

“What’s wrong with me?” Su Ziqin covered her face with her hands.

Ever since she had that thought of marking Fu Qingyun, she hadn’t expected to have such a dream.

In her dream, Fu Qingyun wasn’t as cold as she was in reality. Fu Qingyun would caress her, encourage her to make shameful sounds, and do all the things a couple should do.

What was even more terrifying was that Su Ziqin also dreamed of pinning Fu Qingyun down, slowly pulling off her silk nightgown. When Fu Qingyun was aroused in her dream, the beauty mark near her eye would steal Su Ziqin’s soul. What was even more fatal was that she would call her… “little fox.”

Looking at her reddened eyes in the mirror, Su Ziqin slapped her cheeks. “What is wrong with me?” How could she have so many strange thoughts about Fu Qingyun?

“The scumbag is too enchanting,” Su Ziqin said seriously to her reflection in the mirror. “Su Ziqin, you need to calm down. You can’t fall for the scumbag’s tricks.”

But the more she tried to not think about it, the more her mind was clear. Su Ziqin gritted her teeth. The scumbag had been busy lately and hadn’t come to see her.

What was even more outrageous was that Fu Qingyun never called her first. All of their communication was initiated by Su Ziqin.

Just then, Su Ziqin’s phone rang. She came back to her senses and her face lit up. She answered without looking at the caller ID. “Sister Fu!”

The person on the other end was silent for a few seconds. “Ziqin.”

The joy on Su Ziqin’s face vanished instantly. She held back the urge to grit her teeth. “What do you want?”

To her surprise, her birth family had called her first in this lifetime. The person on the other end was her adoptive mother, Li Qinghui, one of the people she wanted to get revenge on.
