After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Scum A… Eh? ABO - Chapter 57
Fu Nanxuan was just about to explain to her when she received an important call. Her secretary called to inquire about an important guest she had previously instructed to pay special attention to, who wanted to meet with her in the afternoon. Their conversation was on speakerphone and not shielded from Qi Mian, so she heard it very clearly. Fu Nanxuan was silent for a moment, just about to ask the secretary to arrange another time, when the person beside her pulled her hand and shook her head.
“I’ll go to the company later. You first prepare the information, and also prepare the customer’s favorite snacks and drinks.” Fu Nanxuan held her hand back, briefly giving instructions, and the secretary, who was familiar with her work habits, immediately agreed and hung up the phone.
Qi Mian was still thinking about where to go for a walk when Fu Nanxuan was at work, when she saw her looking at herself without moving. “What’s wrong…? Aren’t you going to the company?”
“Do you want to come with me? Take a look at the company.” Fu Nanxuan asked her for her opinion. “This company is also… partly your investment. After you left back then, you left me a lot of money. You are my shareholder.”
“…Then this investment might be too cost-effective.” Qi Mian couldn’t help but smile. “The return is several times higher than the total return of all my investments.” She hooked the other party’s collar, glimpsing the mark she had left. She said okay with a hot face.
When she came yesterday, she only stayed in the coffee shop downstairs to observe the environment where the other party usually stayed. Today, Fu Nanxuan directly took her to the M&F senior management office. When she truly touched the field where she was located, Qi Mian had different feelings again.
“Can you wait for me here?” Fu Nanxuan checked the work with the secretary, and did not forget Qi Mian sitting on the sofa. “If you want to eat anything, or need anything, just tell Anne.” Anne is the second secretary, and she is also familiar with Qi Mian, so Fu Nanxuan directly handed her over to her.
The chief secretary is considered a veteran in the company, having joined not long after M&F was founded. This was the first time in so many years of working with Fu Nanxuan that she heard her speak in such a gentle tone, and she was very surprised. When she couldn’t help but glance at the other party, her boss introduced her first.
“She is Qi Mian, my fiancee.” Fu Nanxuan’s expression was gentle, but what she said made the secretary stunned.
“Qi Mian?” Isn’t that Fu Nanxuan’s deceased white moonlight? Did she find a substitute? Even the name is exactly the same? Because Fu Nanxuan introduced her, the secretary was finally able to face Qi Mian. When she saw her at first glance, she was silent for a few seconds due to excessive shock, before finally hiding her surprise and calmly said: “Hello, Ms. Qi.”
Where did the boss find a substitute with the same name and even the same appearance? No wonder the second secretary hesitated when she told her.
Everyone familiar with Fu Nanxuan knows that she has a white moonlight who died young. She has never concealed this matter, and there are still photos of Qi Mian as a student on her desk. That’s why the secretary was so surprised.
Qi Mian also saw that photo when she entered the office just now, and probably guessed what the other party was thinking, and was immediately a little impressed by her calm and composed attitude. Pretending not to notice the other party’s gaffe, she nodded and smiled at her, then without disturbing their work, she quietly wrote her paper.
After the work was discussed, the secretary thoughtfully closed the door when she left. Before closing the door panel, she saw the boss, who had always been serious, walk to her fiancee’s side, and the left hand she stretched out was wearing a ring. She widened her eyes to see clearly when the door panel completely blocked her sight.
Fu Nanxuan took Qi Mian through a special passage, so not many people saw her. After arriving at the office, no one else saw her except the two secretaries. After the guests came, Fu Nanxuan went to the meeting, and the second secretary stayed to work while accompanying Qi Mian.
When Song Chuan came to deliver documents, the second secretary happened to leave her seat. However, Fu Nanxuan’s office has always been very quiet, so she habitually opened the CEO’s office and walked in. When she saw someone, she was stunned. Then she sternly questioned: “Who are you? How did you enter the CEO’s office without permission? Didn’t the secretary stop you?”
Qi Mian was writing an important paragraph of her paper. When she heard the door opening, she thought it was Anne and didn’t look up, until the other party spoke, and then she looked up when she realized it wasn’t the secretary. A beautifully dressed woman stood at the door, looking at herself sternly.
The girl looked quite young, and didn’t look like Fu Nanxuan’s guest. Although she looked a bit familiar, she was sure she didn’t know her. Song Chuan thought that the other party had broken in without being notified, and the secretary was derelict in her duty by not being here. She immediately called the security guard to come up.
“You should be old enough, don’t you know that trespassing on private property is legally liable?” Song Chuan intentionally or unintentionally blocked the door, meaning not to give her a chance to escape.
When Qi Mian was about to explain, the security guard who received the call had already nervously gone upstairs. M&F’s security system is partnered with well-known companies in the industry, and few people can bypass their surveillance and break in. As a result, today they received a call from a senior executive, informing them that a girl had broken into the CEO’s office out of thin air. This made a group of people very nervous.
“Assistant Song, is she the intruder?” The security supervisor stood at the door, followed by several personnel equipped with weapons. When he saw Qi Mian sitting in the office, he was very surprised how such a petite girl broke in.
When the second secretary came back, she was startled to find a group of security guards standing at the office door, and hurriedly spoke. “What are you doing?”
Song Chuan heard her voice and turned her head, instantly opening her mouth to accuse her. “Anne, the CEO has always been very good to you, but this doesn’t mean you can be careless in your work.”
The second secretary frowned. Although Song Chuan was an assistant, she couldn’t make accusations without reason. “I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Don’t understand what I mean?” Song Chuan’s tone turned cold. “Then come in and see.”
The second secretary walked through the crowd and saw Qi Mian still sitting inside, looking at herself innocently, and hurriedly asked her: “Are you okay, Ms. Qi?” Having witnessed how much her boss cherished the other party during the business trip, and to the extent that she had to send herself to take her home yesterday, the second secretary was completely afraid to let her suffer any grievances.
“I’m fine, there should be some misunderstanding.” Qi Mian comforted her. “Maybe I need to trouble you to explain it for me.”
“Ms. Qi?” Song Chuan heard their conversation, and didn’t expect the secretary to know this girl.
“Okay, please take a rest first. I’ll bring tea in later.” The second secretary turned her head and politely asked them to go out. After closing the door, she explained that the person inside was the CEO’s guest, and it was all a misunderstanding.
The security supervisor breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that it was a misunderstanding and left. Song Chuan stayed where she was and didn’t leave. The second secretary could only ask her: “Is there anything else, Assistant Song?”
“She…who is she?” Song Chuan asked her tremblingly. She suddenly remembered why the other person looked familiar. Because that face was exactly the same as the photo on Fu Nanxuan’s desk, Fu Nanxuan’s early deceased first love.
“I’m sorry, I can’t answer your question.” The second secretary had already seen that Song Chuan liked Fu Nanxuan. She originally thought that the two were a good match, both in terms of work ability and appearance. However, feelings are something that cannot be deduced by logic. “The CEO only instructed me to cooperate with Ms. Qi’s needs.”
Ms. Qi…Qi Mian…She suddenly remembered that contract. So Fu Nanxuan found a substitute similar to her first love? After all the unusual things were connected together to point out the answer, Song Chuan didn’t know how to express her emotions for a while. No matter what Fu Nanxuan thought, she only knew that the other party would rather find a substitute than accept her.
She somewhat embarrassedly handed the document to the secretary and turned to leave.
After Song Chuan left, the second secretary brought in the freshly brewed tea and snacks into the office. When she put them beside Qi Mian, she apologized to her: “I’m sorry, there was a little misunderstanding just now.” She almost caused someone to be taken away.
Anne now felt a little scared when she thought about it. If she had come back a few minutes later, Qi Mian would have really been taken away by the security guards, and when Fu Nanxuan came back, she would have no way to explain it.
“It’s okay, I came through the back door anyway, so it’s normal to be misunderstood.” Qi Mian smiled considerately. “Was that lady just now a manager?”
“That’s the business department’s assistant manager, Ms. Song Chuan.” After the second secretary finished speaking, she didn’t see any unusual expression on Qi Mian’s face, and breathed a sigh of relief. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.”
Qi Mian thanked her and smiled as she watched her leave before her eyes darkened. Song Chuan…she remembered that she was a female character who would appear later in the story, and also the only Omega who stayed by Fu Nanxuan’s side.
She seemed to have been forced by her family to marry a wealthy Alpha to exchange for financial support. But this Alpha was a person who did not respect other genders, and treated Omegas and Betas as playthings. After Song Chuan married, she was forcibly marked, became pregnant and miscarried, and was locked at home, unable to contact the outside world. Later, when she took the opportunity to escape, she met Fu Nanxuan, who lived nearby at the time, and was rescued by her, who was also an Omega. That’s when the story between the two of them began.
But Song Chuan didn’t look like the person described in the book, calm and restrained. Although she always stayed quietly behind Fu Nanxuan, she was her most important and capable assistant, secretly solving many things for her that Fu Nanxuan was inconvenient to deal with.
If Song Chuan didn’t get married, and the story’s plot was now so out of order, the system still didn’t appear?
No, Qi Mian now realized that she had entered a misunderstanding. In fact, from the moment she differentiated, the story had already deviated. When she became an Omega and Fu Nanxuan became an Alpha, it was already different from the original story.
The system’s explanation like that might mean that regardless of gender, the harem female characters and supporting characters set in the book would eventually still fall in love with Fu Nanxuan. So what does it mean that its story plot has not deviated? Does it mean that all the characters need to experience the settings in the book?
