After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 9

The air suddenly fell silent.

Song Zhuqiu gave an awkward laugh.

After Shen Huailü took her clothes, she went back into the bathroom.

—

After Song Zhuqiu finished showering, she saw Shen Huailü leaning against one side of the bed with a book in her hands.

She did not look like she intended to pay attention to Song Zhuqiu, which instead made Song Zhuqiu relax a little.

Just like now, Song Zhuqiu climbed onto the bed from the other side with her long legs and shifted over beside Shen Huailü.

Song Zhuqiu believed that in this world, she was closest to Shen Huailü.

She stretched her head over and read the book together with her.

“Due to the reaction force produced when firing, if the gunstock is angled to the right, the gun body will receive a force toward the left…”[1]

Song Zhuqiu: “?”

Who was Shen Huailü planning to shoot?

Since it was related to Song Zhuqiu’s past profession, she read with great interest.

It was an island nation’s popular science book about firearms, and the two of them quickly finished reading it.

“Sleep?” Shen Huailü asked.

“Okay,” Song Zhuqiu answered.

Shen Huailü spoke aloud to control the voice-activated housekeeper.

The curtains slowly closed, and the lights gradually dimmed, then went out.

A dreamless night.

—

Song Group headquarters.

Today was Song Zhuqiu’s first day working at her family’s company.

Yesterday, her father had reminded her that she at least had to arrive at his office before the time everyone else clocked in ended.

It was only nine o’clock.

Song Zhuqiu timed it perfectly and knocked on the door of the chairman’s office at eight fifty-nine.

Song Zhi was working. He looked up and saw his daughter, then glanced at the time.

Very good. She was not late.

Song Zhuqiu sat on the sofa beside him, drinking the tea Assistant Li had poured for her.

“Which department do you want to go to?” Song Zhi asked.

“New Energy Development Department.”

Generally speaking, Song Zhuqiu had a bit of a golden finger. She knew which direction to develop in.

The Song family had its hands in many fields. It truly lived up to its reputation as the number one prestigious family among the wealthy.

The New Energy Development Department’s function at headquarters was relatively simple. It mainly communicated with the senior executives of the group’s new-energy-related subsidiaries. Occasionally, it would send people out to supervise them, while actual development was carried out by the subsidiaries.

To put it simply, the main job in this department was to point fingers at the various new energy subsidiaries.

Song Zhuqiu felt it suited her very well. It was nothing more than moving her mouth and writing a few reports.

The department currently had eight people and reported directly to Chairman Song. The usual office atmosphere was like a leaderless group discussion. But that did not mean the work in this department was easy. On the contrary, everyone carried heavy responsibilities.

Among the relevant subsidiaries, the automobile sector was the most central.

At present, the market share of new energy vehicles was less than one percent. This year’s Work Report stated that the market share of new energy vehicles was expected to reach five percent in five years and twenty percent in ten years.

Song Zhuqiu had learned some modern business history in her original world, and this speed should be considered conservative.

However, this was not her original world, so nothing could be said for certain.

Song Zhi took off his glasses and sat on the sofa opposite Song Zhuqiu.

“Why do you want to go to this department?”

“Sounds fun.”

Song Zhi: “…”

Song Zhi briefly introduced the department’s situation to Song Zhuqiu. “This department is not short of people.”

He knew very well that his child was ignorant and incompetent, but everyone there was a frontline employee. It would also be good for Song Zhuqiu to go and learn from them.

“Then you’ll start working today. Follow the department employees, do odd jobs for them, and learn until you can independently complete each person’s work.”

Song Zhuqiu had no real concept of it. Wasn’t it just learning the work of eight people once? Her learning ability was strong. A small problem.

They did not waste much time talking. The two went to the New Energy Development Department together. It was on the floor below the chairman’s office.

This department actually occupied half a floor, despite only having eight people. It seemed the Song family valued it greatly.

“Good morning, Chairman.”

A colleague near the door greeted the two of them. After greeting them, she lowered her head back to her computer.

One or two colleagues only realized the chairman had arrived after hearing the voice and also greeted him.

The other colleagues did not notice that anyone had come at all. Their attention was glued to their computers.

“Hold a meeting during lunch later,” Song Zhi said to the colleague near the door, then took Song Zhuqiu around for a brief tour.

The department colleagues showed no intention of paying attention to the two of them. They focused on the work in their hands.

Song Zhi returned to his office to continue working.

Assistant Li explained the situation of the New Energy Department to Song Zhuqiu.

“Eldest Miss, you and the chairman just visited downstairs. This department is rather special within the group. Leaving aside the fact that it’s on the floor directly below the chairman’s office and shares the same floor as the president’s office, half on each side, the entire department has fewer people than the president’s office.

“All eight of them are top students interviewed together by the group’s senior management. The lowest educational background among them is a master’s degree from Capital University, and their work ability is extremely strong. Peers in the industry are constantly trying every possible way to poach them. The signing bonuses have already reached tens of millions.

“When the department was first established, there were only three people. After a year, it has grown to eight people, each performing their own duties and operating very well. Their work with the subsidiaries is outstanding, and they can often uncover problems in the subsidiaries.

“Otherwise, if we relied only on the people in those subsidiaries, Song Group would probably struggle to move forward in the various new energy-related industries, let alone dream of its current leading position.”

Assistant Li was very emotional.

Back then, he had also participated in the internal recruitment for this department five times, and every single time, he had been eliminated during the first interview.

He had painfully lost out on millions in stock options.

However, the treatment Chairman Song offered him was already the best among equivalent positions.

After introducing the department, Assistant Li was also very clear that the Eldest Miss’s academic performance was average. He was afraid that this ancestor would start work today and resign by the afternoon.

Only by following this group could the Eldest Miss be led toward the best growth. The other departments were somewhat lacking. Chairman Song had been engaged in management work for many years, so his business skills were definitely not as practiced as these people’s.

The Song family ancestral rule was that anyone inheriting the business had to begin from the frontline.

Assistant Li continued casually introducing the department to Song Zhuqiu.

Song Zhuqiu listened with great interest, as if she were listening to a story. A group of elites.

Realizing that Assistant Li had not introduced the specific job content, Song Zhuqiu asked, “Can you introduce the specific work content?”

Assistant Li stiffened. “…I’m sorry, Eldest Miss. I don’t understand their specific business. They’ll mention it during the meeting later.”

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

This assistant did not seem very professional.

If Assistant Li could hear Song Zhuqiu’s thoughts, he would definitely cry injustice.

The other assistants were all busy, and he had been assigned to receive the Eldest Miss today. Besides, he was in charge of the Song family’s assets, all right! He knew exactly how much money was in the Eldest Miss’s accounts! Some time ago, she had even gone to a top club in the capital! She had spent lavishly in one night. She had gone to find Omegas, hadn’t she, hadn’t she! Even the chairman had not said anything!

He could not understand the company’s specific business in great detail. Giving Song Zhuqiu a simple introduction was already no problem. Besides, weren’t they going to have a meeting at noon?

Assistant Li screamed like a groundhog inside.

Lunch was eaten while having the meeting. The New Energy Development Department had a dedicated “meal meeting room.”

The company cafeteria chef knew the tastes of the department colleagues very well and would specially prepare a table of dishes for them. Usually, they all ate inside and did not go down to the cafeteria.

Song Zhuqiu stared at the food on the table and secretly swallowed. Holding a meeting at a time like this was so cruel.

Song Zhi introduced Song Zhuqiu to everyone. After saying a few simple words, he let the eight people introduce their work in turn.

Song Zhuqiu discovered that when one person was introducing, the next person would eat extremely quickly.

There was also a relatively petite girl who wolfed down her food in five minutes and even ate two bowls of rice.

After finishing, she pushed aside her bowl and chopsticks, smiled shyly at Song Zhuqiu, and began flipping through the materials on her tablet.

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

This girl was worth getting along with.

By the time the third person was speaking, the others had also finished eating.

Song Zhi ate slowly while listening to his employees report.

Assistant Li had already finished eating and used serving chopsticks to pick up some dishes from the far end for Song Zhi.

Song Zhuqiu’s thoughts wandered for a moment. Inappropriately, she thought that the conference table should have a lazy Susan.

After the eight people finished introducing themselves, only Song Zhuqiu was still eating.

When each person reported, Song Zhuqiu had asked many questions, so she had not had time to eat more than a few bites.

Song Zhi told the others to return to work, leaving only three people in the office. Song Zhi and Assistant Li watched Song Zhuqiu eat.

After a whole morning of information overload, Song Zhuqiu was unbearably hungry. She paid no attention to the people who remained and ate in large mouthfuls.

Song Zhi and Assistant Li took turns picking up dishes for Song Zhuqiu.

Until Song Zhuqiu finished all the dishes on the table.

Song Zhi: “…”

How had his precious daughter become able to eat so much?

Assistant Li: “…”

If he remembered correctly, when everyone else had finished eating, half the dishes had still been left.

“Are you full?” Song Zhi had mixed feelings. This rascal was usually the one he worried about most.

Song Zhuqiu had eaten too much food, and Song Zhi was even worried whether she had been too tired recently. But aside from getting along with the Shen family’s daughter, his daughter did not seem to have anything else going on.

“I’m full, Dad. I can work.”

Song Zhuqiu answered.

Song Zhi was instantly comforted. His child had grown up.

He took Assistant Li back upstairs.

The cleaning auntie came to tidy up.

Song Zhuqiu went out and walked around.

A colleague just now had said that she could bring Song Zhuqiu along during this period and asked Song Zhuqiu to follow her first. The other colleagues would take turns guiding her when they had time.

Song Zhuqiu walked to the side of the colleague who had finished lunch in five minutes earlier. Could it be that she was relatively free because she ate so quickly?

No one took a lunch break.

Song Zhuqiu: A little sleepy.

But doing odd jobs meant following the colleague’s rhythm.

Very soon, Song Zhuqiu learned the real reason this colleague was relatively free.

The colleague’s surname was Jiang. The others jokingly called her “Jiang Five.” Everyone knew she could finish every meal within five minutes, except during business dinners when the dishes were served more slowly.

Jiang Five handled the investment portion for the subsidiaries. In other words, she had to find ways to help the subsidiaries secure investments and money. It was not that Song Group lacked money, but with such a large business, it was impossible for one family to monopolize everything. The more friends, the better. Only then could things be built up.

At the same time, Jiang Five’s work also involved the headquarters’ finance department and publicity department. Since it was the weekend, they needed to prepare for Monday’s morning meeting. The finance department had to hold a morning meeting with brokerage firms and prepare the brokerage morning report.

There was not much content for the weekend. They only needed to prepare some data related to new energy vehicles and organize it. Next week, they would make an industry research report.

Jiang Five introduced it to her. “There’s a semi-private dinner tonight. Come with me.”

After speaking, she paused, as if thinking of something. “You don’t have anything else tonight, do you?”

Who would dare say they had something? Her father had sent her here to learn, not to be worshiped.

“I don’t,” Song Zhuqiu said honestly.

A small number of people were still working overtime on the weekend.

At the headquarters’ official closing time, none of the eight people left.

Jiang Five locked her computer, took her tablet, and left work with Song Zhuqiu.

“Did you drive?” Jiang Five asked.

“I did.”

“The place is in the northern suburbs. If it’s too far from home, don’t drive.”

Song Zhuqiu thought about it. The Shen family was also in the north, only not in the same residential district as her family.

“What time will it end tonight?” Song Zhuqiu asked.

“Usually around eleven. Unexpected situations are not ruled out.”

“All right. I’ll tell my family.”

After all, Song Zhuqiu was currently living under someone else’s roof.

“Hello, Shen…”

Song Zhuqiu called Shen Huailü, but did not know how to address her.

They were married, but not very familiar.

Song Zhuqiu did not dwell on what to call Shen Huailü.

“There’s a business dinner at the company tonight. The exact ending time is unknown. If I come back too late, I’ll sleep in the small living room.”

Song Zhuqiu reminded Shen Huailü not to wait for her.

“Mm.”

Shen Huailü was sparing with words.

Her cool voice, carrying the unique magnetism of a phone call, reached Song Zhuqiu’s ear bones.

Song Zhuqiu felt as if she had been shocked by the phone, an itchiness without a clear focus spreading through her.

—

The first night Song Zhuqiu and Shen Huailü lived together, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Shen Huailü had thought it would be a very uncomfortable night, but she slept sweetly.

The next day, Shen Huailü woke up very early.

When she got up, Song Zhuqiu also woke.

Seeing that it was not yet her wake-up time, Song Zhuqiu opened her eyes wide in a daze and glared at Shen Huailü, then closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Shen Huailü looked at Song Zhuqiu.

Song Zhuqiu was sleeping straight and stiff at the edge of the bed. If she shifted even a little more, she would fall off. She was completely different from the way she had woken up pressed against Shen Huailü that morning.

Looking at her like this, she really did not seem like an Alpha deliberately trying to get close to an Omega.

That was right. Shen Huailü suspected that Song Zhuqiu had deliberately pressed close to her that day.

Shen Huailü was not fully awake yet.

She leaned against the bed, turned her head, and stared at Song Zhuqiu without blinking.

As she looked, she tilted slightly in Song Zhuqiu’s direction again.

Song Zhuqiu really wanted to sleep, but the gaze beside her was too disturbing.

The instant she opened her eyes, she caught the gaze.

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

Why did Shen Huailü look like a little hamster, with her cheeks slightly puffed as she looked at her in a daze?

Song Zhuqiu wanted to sleep and did not want to speak, so she stared at Shen Huailü, waiting for her to react on her own.

Shen Huailü’s skin was like snow, her cheeks slightly red.

From Song Zhuqiu’s angle, Shen Huailü’s neck looked slender, and her collarbones were straight.

Her neckline, hm?

Why was it so open?

A few strands of smooth black hair hung down into it, tempting one to explore.

Song Zhuqiu’s eyes widened.

She saw it, but not completely.

Shamefully, she compared it with her own.

She lost completely.

Song Zhuqiu’s ears turned red.

Then she remembered the sexual characteristics of Alphas and Omegas and understood.

Shen Huailü slowly woke up.

She discovered that she was leaning sideways and looking into Song Zhuqiu’s eyes.

Song Zhuqiu’s face was flushed with an alluring red.

What was wrong?

Shen Huailü leaned closer, gesturing for Song Zhuqiu to touch her own forehead and see if she had a fever.

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

You just need to move away.

She turned to the other side to avoid the view.

Thud!

Song Zhuqiu fell off the bed.

Shen Huailü: “…”

Puzzled, she moved over, mercifully intending to ask what was wrong.

So she knelt by the edge of the bed and bent down to look at Song Zhuqiu.

After falling flat on the floor, Song Zhuqiu turned herself over and met Shen Huailü’s eyes again.

Song Zhuqiu: “!”

She hurriedly buried her head between the bed and the carpet.

Only a muffled sound came from beside the bed.

She had hit her forehead again.

Song Zhuqiu still said nothing.

Shen Huailü reached out and poked Song Zhuqiu’s shoulder. “What’s wrong with you?”

After thinking it over, Song Zhuqiu still spoke. Otherwise, if Shen Huailü kept staring at her in that posture, how was she supposed to turn around?

It was also because she was too nervous. She had forgotten that she could roll to the other side, or simply close her eyes.

“Go wash up,” Song Zhuqiu said, wanting Shen Huailü to leave on her own.

Shen Huailü found it inexplicable.

Since the other woman had told her to leave, she would not show this kindness anymore.

A good fall.

This was punishment for getting close to her last time.

Shen Huailü had completely forgotten that she had been the one to take the initiative first.

After Shen Huailü left, Song Zhuqiu bounced back onto the bed and continued sleeping.

Song Zhuqiu did not think about it too deeply. After all, it was a girl’s private area, so she should still respect it.

But she did not know why she was so nervous. Maybe Shen Huailü was too beautiful.

Beauty misled people.

Muttering inwardly, Song Zhuqiu fell asleep again.

Shen Huailü realized that something had been wrong with Song Zhuqiu.

She looked in the mirror and saw her almost completely loosened neckline.

Thinking of her own actions just now, Shen Huailü’s face turned bright red.
