After Transmigrating into a Book, I Ended Up with My Dream Omega - Chapter 2

Xia Xiangzhen practically floated all the way back to her hospital room.

She paced back and forth alone for a long time before finally snapping back to reality.

What was the current timeline? Was Yin Xiaowei already Wei Lan’s girlfriend? Or worse, was it an even more dire stage of the plot?

The thought terrified her. She scrambled to find her phone and began searching “Yin Xiaowei” on Baidu Wiki. When she saw that the variety show section of the profile did not yet list Wilderness Survival Season 2, she let out a massive sigh of relief.

Thank goodness. Everything was still at the beginning.

To confirm the exact timing, a slightly more relaxed Xia Xiangzhen searched for Wilderness Survival Season 2. This time, she found that the show was currently in the “investment recruitment” phase.

Looking at the words “Preparation and Investment Recruitment in Progress” on the official Weibo account, Xia Xiangzhen’s brain began to spin rapidly.

This meant there wasn’t much time left before Yin Xiaowei fell into the poisonous trap of Wei Lan’s “heroic rescue.”

There were several ways to break the plot:

Option A: Invest in a film or drama and get Yin Xiaowei into the cast to avoid the variety show entirely.

Option B: Make Yin Xiaowei fall in love with her before the show begins.

Option C: Join the variety show herself and snatch the “heroic rescue” moment away from Wei Lan.

Regardless of which path she chose, since Yin Xiaowei was currently in this very hospital, she needed to leave a good impression first to lay the foundation for her future plans.

No time like the present!

Just as Xia Xiangzhen opened her door to go find Yin Xiaowei, she ran into her assistant, Assistant Chen, who was just about to enter.

“President Xia,” Assistant Chen said, startled by the sudden opening of the door. “Where are you going?”

“I saw an acquaintance and wanted to look for them.”

Xia Xiangzhen gave a brief answer and tried to walk past, but seeing her assistant gave her a sudden realization. Her sister said she would be in charge of the new entertainment company. The Wilderness Survival Season 2 project could be her very first investment after taking over!

In the novel, Season 2 was a much bigger breakthrough than Season 1 because it introduced full-time live streaming with real-time bullet comments (danmu). As the first domestic show to use this technology, its popularity was unrivaled. The Wei family’s stocks, as investors, had soared because of it.

If her company invested in the show, it would be easy to “stuff” herself into the cast. Then, she could hijack Wei Lan’s scenes.

Wouldn’t that guarantee Yin Xiaowei would fall for her instead?

By investing, the company would make a fortune, she would win the beauty’s heart, and she would cut off the Wei family’s industrial growth. It was three birds with one stone!

Plan Success (√)

Xia Xiangzhen immediately turned to Assistant Chen. “Go look up the variety show Wilderness Survival Season 2. Compile all the information on it; I have a use for it.”

“Understood, President Xia” Although confused by the sudden request, Assistant Chen dutifully agreed and went to gather the data.

Watching the assistant walk away, Xia Xiangzhen smirked. Actually, there was a “fourth bird”—she had successfully gotten the assistant out of her hair.

She straightened her hospital gown and hurried to the inpatient reception desk to find Yin Xiaowei’s mother’s room number. But when she got there, she hit a snag.

The novel never mentioned the mother’s name.

She only knew that the mother had a very severe heart condition and was in the Cardiology Department.

“Miss, how can I help you?” the receptionist asked politely.

Xia Xiangzhen went silent. She couldn’t figure out how to ask for a room number without a name, so she simply asked, “Where is the Cardiology Department?”

“Go straight and turn right for the elevator. Wards 1 and 2 are on the 11th floor; Wards 3 and 4 are on the 12th floor.”

“It’s split between two floors?” Xia Xiangzhen was shocked. This meant the odds of a “chance encounter” were even lower.

“Yes. Are you looking for someone? We can look them up for you.”

“No need, I’ll just call her when I get up there,” Xia Xiangzhen bluffed and headed for the elevator.

She wondered if she should just wait by the elevators. But with two floors, she might wait on the wrong one. Standing in the 11th-floor elevator lobby, she paused.

Wait, is this behavior a bit creepy? she thought. Stalking someone to their mother’s hospital ward… if they actually met, Yin Xiaowei’s first impression wouldn’t be “kind fan,” it would be “stalker weirdo.”

At that thought, Xia Xiangzhen decided it was best to retreat to her room.

But after taking only a few steps, she saw Yin Xiaowei walking out of Ward 2. And Yin Xiaowei saw her.

Xia Xiangzhen hadn’t expected to actually run into her just as she was leaving. This was fate—even if it was the kind of fate that made her want to cry. Since they had spotted each other, it would be rude to just walk away.

“Hi,” she greeted awkwardly.

Recognizing the “fan” from earlier, Yin Xiaowei gave a friendly smile. “Are you staying in Cardiology too?”

“No, a different department.” Afraid of being seen as a stalker, Xia Xiangzhen hurried to find an excuse to leave. “I, uh, have something to do, so I’ll head out first!”

Watching Xia Xiangzhen’s fleeing back, Yin Xiaowei was puzzled. She could only chalk it up to her fan being extremely shy. She didn’t have time to think further—she still had to earn the money for her mother’s medical bills.

After Xia Xiangzhen was discharged, she worked hard at learning how to build and manage a company. Meanwhile, Yin Xiaowei finished another phase of work and returned home, exhausted.

She had only been resting on the sofa for a moment when her phone rang. Seeing her manager’s name, her brow furrowed, but she answered immediately.

“Hello, Brother Liu.”

“Xiaowei, there’s been a change with the production. The investors are unhappy that you weren’t ‘sensible,’ so the role you auditioned for has been given to someone else.”

Yin Xiaowei’s grip on the phone tightened, but her voice remained steady. “Okay, I understand. I’ll wait for the next opportunity.”

“The company doesn’t have many opportunities for you lately,” Liu Xingyi’s dissatisfied voice crackled through the speaker. “I’ve told you before, what’s the harm in agreeing to the investors’ requests? Doesn’t your mother need money for her illness? With your looks, it only takes one word if you’re willing. Look at our company’s top star, she relied on—”

“Brother Liu,” Yin Xiaowei interrupted coldly. “Let’s just talk about whether there are any drama or variety show invites for me.”

Liu Xingyi reluctantly stopped his lecture and looked at the invitations. “No dramas. One variety show. Wilderness Survival Season 2 sent an invite, but that’s a life-risking show for D-list nobodies. My suggestion is—”

“I’ll take it,” Yin Xiaowei interrupted again.

“Fine, fine. I’ll accept it for you. I’ll call you when filming starts.” Liu Xingyi was dismissive but agreed. Even if it didn’t use company resources, the company still got a cut of the fee.

The moment the work was confirmed, the other end hung up abruptly. Yin Xiaowei looked at her phone with a mocking gaze. If it weren’t for the fact that her contract with Guangzhuo Entertainment hadn’t ended yet and the breach of contract fee was astronomical…

She forced herself to stop thinking about it and focus on the survival show. Having seen Season 1, she knew this wasn’t a “play around” show; it was a real survival challenge.

While Yin Xiaowei was preparing, Xia Xiangzhen was busy writing in the office of the newly established Xingyuan Entertainment.

Assistant Chen knocked. “Enter.”

“President Xia., here is the information on Wilderness Survival Season 2. I’ve categorized it for you.” He placed a thick folder on the desk.

“Thanks.”

Xia Xiangzhen had no experience with this, so she had to make up for it with time and the help of her executive manager. People said work and love leave no room for other thoughts, and it was true—she’d been so busy she barely had time to think about her dream Omega.

She rubbed her wrists and opened the files, comparing them to the descriptions in the novel. Confirming that the development matched the plot, she looked up. “How much of an investment gap is there?”

“Because they are introducing full-time live streaming and real-time comments—a first for domestic variety—most major companies are still waiting on the sidelines,” Assistant Chen explained. “The funding gap is quite large, about 30 million yuan.”

Xia Xiangzhen closed the folder. “Arrange a meeting immediately. We’re going to discuss investing in this show.”

“Understood. I’ll arrange it right away.”
