After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, the Reborn Omega Always Wants to Cling (GL) - Chapter 9
Su Ziqin never expected that as soon as she followed Fu Qingyun and the other woman into the coffee shop, Fu Qingyun would spot her.
“Sister Fu~, are you also here for coffee?” Su Ziqin would never admit that she had been following them.
[Tsk tsk tsk, she was clearly following them from the start. The little villain’s acting skills are pretty good,] 12138 complained.
Fu Qingyun didn’t say much. She took Su Ziqin by the hand and led her to a window seat.
“Ms. Li, this is my Omega, Su Ziqin,” Fu Qingyun introduced. Then, she turned to Su Ziqin and said, “This is Li Zhengyin from Orca Capital.”
Su Ziqin’s eyes flickered upon hearing the name. She was familiar with it. Especially in her past life, this “Jing City Tiger” was forced out by Qin Renfeng and eventually took her team to develop a business abroad. She wasn’t too clear on what happened after that.
It seemed Fu Qingyun was really here for work. The idea of her being a lesbian Alpha was just something she had overthought.
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Li.” Su Ziqin greeted her sincerely. She had a lot of admiration for capable people like Li Zhengyin.
Li Zhengyin raised an eyebrow and teased, “Little CEO Fu, you’ve done well. Your Omega is really pretty.”
She never believed in coincidences. This little Omega must have been worried about Fu Qingyun and followed her.
“You’re too kind,” Fu Qingyun understood what she meant. Seeing that the other person didn’t expose Su Ziqin for following her, her tone softened a little.
Li Zhengyin waved her hand. “I get it. Let’s talk business. How exactly will Little CEO Fu convince me? I’m genuinely curious.”
“Orca Capital’s review department has probably had a complete change of staff, right? It must be quite difficult for you to get your projects approved now,” Fu Qingyun said calmly.
Li Zhengyin placed her coffee cup down with a light ‘clink’ as it hit the saucer. Her expression changed. “You’re not wrong.”
“I’ve been at Orca Capital for five years, just waiting to be promoted to partner next month. I was thinking of getting some shares, taking a break, going on some blind dates, and thinking about my future.”
Li Zhengyin was 32 this year. This wasn’t old for an Alpha, but it was a considerable age for an Alpha who hadn’t been in a relationship yet.
Fu Qingyun noticed some coffee had spilled near her hand, so she took a napkin and handed it to her. “You’re very capable, which is why Young Master Qin is so relentless in suppressing you. Whether he sees you forced out or giving in, either outcome is a good one for him.”
“Tsk,” Li Zhengyin wiped her hands hard. “How could I not see through his tricks? It’s easy for me to leave, but what about the team that follows me?”
She had actually been looking at office spaces abroad for a while, but she had been hesitating because not everyone on her team could move abroad with her without any worries.
Moreover, after working at Orca Capital for so long, she still held some hope for the company.
“You can bring them all to Fir Capital,” Fu Qingyun said, observing Li Zhengyin’s expression. “Once you leave Orca Capital, as long as you’re in the country, you’re bound to be suppressed by the Qin family. I’m sure you understand that.”
Li Zhengyin rubbed her forehead. “Of course. The Qin family is capable of abandoning a donkey once its work is done.”
“Then, in your opinion, who in the entire Jing City circle can stand against the Qin family?”
Li Zhengyin’s eyes narrowed. She had gained some respect for this “Little CEO Fu.” “The Fu family.” This person had set a trap and was waiting for her to fall into it.
“But can the Fu family guarantee they won’t treat me the same way the Qin family did?”
Fu Qingyun nodded. “I own 80% of Fir Capital’s shares, and my wife owns 20%…”
“A couple holding the company is even more troublesome,” Li Zhengyin interrupted, waving her hand.
“I’m willing to give you 30%, and another 15% will be distributed among the company’s leadership.” This way, Fu Qingyun would still hold the majority of the shares, but the company wouldn’t be a one-person show like Orca Capital.
Li Zhengyin’s face broke into a playful smile as she looked at Su Ziqin. “Little one, your Alpha is offering me more than she’s giving you.”
“If I were the Jing City Tiger, my Alpha wouldn’t need to look for you either,” Su Ziqin rolled her eyes. She didn’t know anything about investment, but it was clear that poaching Li Zhengyin was the better option.
A company’s shares are worthless if it’s not successful. What’s the point of holding so many? Her shares wouldn’t be affected anyway, so what was wrong with having Li Zhengyin come and increase their value?
Li Zhengyin finally understood the saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” This couple was a pair of schemers. “You two are really a perfect match.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Li. I think so too,” Su Ziqin said, waving her hand.
Fu Qingyun pushed the small cake in front of her towards Su Ziqin. “Interested in investment banking?”
“Yes, of course. Will you teach me, Sister Fu?” As long as she could make money and cause trouble for Su Yingying and her husband, Su Ziqin was interested in anything.
“Yes. Once Ms. Li joins the company, I’ll have time to teach you.”
Su Ziqin gritted her teeth, looking at Li Zhengyin, who was trying to hold back a laugh. She felt her rosy perception of the Jing City Tiger from her past life had shattered.
“You’re not married yet, are you, Ms. Li?” The charming tone was like a knife stabbing into Li Zhengyin’s heart.
Li Zhengyin’s smile froze.
“Not in a relationship yet, are you?” Another merciless stab.
“And you’re about to lose your job,” Su Ziqin added another unexpected jab. “How will you find an Omega?”
Li Zhengyin covered her chest, trying to calm herself down. “What? If I join Fir Capital, is the boss’s wife in charge of matchmaking?”
“Not that far, but the Fu family has always valued equality for all ABOs. So, at Fir Capital… there are quite a few Omegas.”
These words hit Li Zhengyin like a heavy blow. Why had she been single for so many years? Because the entire Orca Capital, and even the whole Panhai Group, was almost exclusively Alphas.
The gender discrimination at Panhai was very serious. There were very few Betas, not to mention Omegas.
“I’ll think about it,” Li Zhengyin took a deep breath, calming her inner excitement. She couldn’t be too hasty. She still had a team under her.
Su Ziqin smiled inwardly, knowing that Li Zhengyin’s interest had been piqued. “I also have a forum, and many of them are university students. There are a lot of young and beautiful Omegas. As the moderator, I have all of their contact information.”
This got Li Zhengyin excited. “Really? Good sister, send it to me right away.”
Her Omega mother kept trying to set her up with terrible dates, and she couldn’t stand it anymore. She was now extremely fond of Su Ziqin.
Fu Qingyun watched and elegantly sipped her coffee, quietly serving as a backdrop. Su Ziqin, however, leaned into her arms.
“Do you want to have an Omega to cuddle with like this?” Su Ziqin’s fair fingers intertwined with Fu Qingyun’s, clasping their hands together.
Li Zhengyin was both envious and excited. “Yes.”
“Then what are you still hesitating for?” Su Ziqin saw that the other person was completely captivated by her words.
“But…” Li Zhengyin calmed down a little and looked at Fu Qingyun with some difficulty. “This would mean a complete break with the Qin family.”
Fu Qingyun said indifferently, “We’ve already broken up. Aren’t they already trying to steal our projects?”
“Huh? Young Master Qin was the one who stole that lousy project?” Li Zhengyin’s face was surprised. Then she thought about it again. “No wonder Little CEO Fu’s appearance today was so perfect? No, what was Qin Renfeng thinking?”
Fu Qingyun shrugged. “How should I know?”
“Heh, I knew something was off. He has so many good projects on hand, but he decided to invest in that useless one. It was all a scheme to poach it,” Li Zhengyin sneered.
“Yes, something unpleasant happened between us last night,” Fu Qingyun explained plainly.
Li Zhengyin was even more speechless. Private matters were being brought into this. “With that kind of mind, Orca Capital will eventually be ruined.”
“So, what else is there for you to think about?” Su Ziqin said eagerly.
“Tsk.” Li Zhengyin looked at her. “Little one, the reason you’re so anxious is because you want her to teach you about investment, right? If you introduce me to an Omega, I’ll teach you.”
Su Ziqin felt that this person’s idea was a little dangerous. She did want to learn, but wasn’t the most important thing to trick Li Zhengyin into joining Fir Capital to make money for her?
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Su Ziqin hugged Fu Qingyun’s arm. “I have my Alpha to teach me.”
Seeing her act like this, Li Zhengyin felt a pang of envy. She now truly understood what it felt like to be force-fed a bunch of dog food.
“You two, one is playing the good cop, and the other is playing the bad cop. This strategy is a bit clever.”
Fu Qingyun was unfazed. “If the strategy wasn’t clever, we wouldn’t have been able to get an appointment with you, Ms. Li, would we?”
“To be honest, the conditions you’ve offered are very tempting. But I’ve been at Orca Capital for five years, and I still have some feelings for it.”
“It seems you still have hope for Orca Capital, or perhaps for the Qin family?” Fu Qingyun spoke her mind.
Li Zhengyin ran her large hand along the rim of the coffee cup. With her movement, the brown liquid left a faint ring on the white cup.
“There’s one month left before they announce me as a partner. If…”
“I’m willing to wait,” Fu Qingyun said. She could tell that this person was loyal and had deep feelings for her old company.
Right now, Li Zhengyin wasn’t backed into a corner, which was why she was hesitating. Fu Qingyun wasn’t in a hurry. Given Qin Renfeng’s way of doing things, Li Zhengyin would be forced to leave sooner or later.
“Thank you,” Li Zhengyin said sincerely. Regardless of the outcome, she was touched that the other person was willing to go up against the Qin family for her.
“I just hope that when the time comes, you’ll prioritize Fir Capital,” Fu Qingyun said. Of course, she was referring to when Li Zhengyin would be desperate.
“Of course.” Li Zhengyin was smart. Putting Su Ziqin’s temptation aside, Fu Qingyun’s offer itself was already generous.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.” Li Zhengyin’s mood was a bit heavy. She also wanted to take some time to process what Fu Qingyun had said.
“See you later.” Fu Qingyun shook her hand and watched as Li Zhengyin walked out of the coffee shop.
“You’re just going to let her leave like that, Sister Fu?” From Su Ziqin’s perspective, the other person had already softened up. “Why didn’t you close the deal?”
Fu Qingyun poked her forehead with two fingers. “Do you really think your little tricks could convince her?”
“Ouch,” Su Ziqin said, wincing and covering her forehead. “She was so excited…”
“The things she needs to consider aren’t that simple.” Fu Qingyun didn’t deny that Su Ziqin’s words had touched Li Zhengyin a little. “But she was also interested in what you said. It’s just that when you compare her team to you, she knows which is more important.”
Su Ziqin rolled her eyes at her inwardly. “Oh? So Sister Fu is just making excuses because you don’t want to teach me about investment?”
“Did you finish your coding homework?” Fu Qingyun reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Su Ziqin froze. How could she have forgotten that Fu Qingyun was a monster?
“It seems you haven’t finished.”
“I have!” Su Ziqin said anxiously, afraid that Fu Qingyun would add more work. “My exam week is coming up, I… Let’s talk about investment after summer break.”
