The Disabled Villain Omega Uses Her Riches to Get Close to People (GL) - Chapter 17

Chi Wanzhu’s emotions were somewhat detached, and she didn’t feel much attachment to the school, let alone that she had graduated from Z University several years ago.

General alumni events were naturally a chance for current students and graduates to relax, reconnect, reminisce, and strengthen their sense of identity and affection for the school.

But for someone like Chi Wanzhu, the people gathering at the event were all outstanding figures from various industries.

It was no different from the cocktail party she had just declined.

The exchanges over drinks were solely about exchanging interests. Everyone came with the goal of securing partnerships, and it was an important opportunity for them to meet collaborators.

The number of people wanting to connect with Chi Wanzhu would certainly be significant.

“Understood, President Chi.”

Assistant Lin wasn’t surprised by Chi Wanzhu’s answer; it was the same every year.

Even while listening to Assistant Lin’s planned arrangements, Chi Wanzhu could still accurately spot mistakes in the proposal.

“Have the Planning Department Manager see me in an hour.” She placed one document separately on the side, and then added, “Also, double the standard for the anniversary donation and the alumni donation compared to last year.”

Every year for the school anniversary, Star Group had a dedicated donation fund.

At the same time, Chi Wanzhu would also take a portion from her private account as a personal alumni donation.

The centennial anniversary was significant. Although Chi Wanzhu wouldn’t attend in person, she would demonstrate her respect in these areas.

After all, Star Group’s core industry was high-tech, which depended on cooperation with top universities and research institutes like Z University, and the generations of talent Z University cultivated.

Time flew by, and soon it was Sunday.

The morning sun was exceptionally bright, streaming through the window into the room, warming the window frame. The transparent light and shadows cast long projections.

Without class, many people downstairs were walking in pairs or small groups, discussing what they planned to do today.

But Jing Chaocao had something on her mind and wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

Last night, she had bizarre and kaleidoscopic dreams. First, it was the plot of the original book—her scent gland was removed, and she woke up deep in the mountains.

Then, all the Alphas in the world turned into S-grade, and she was the only remaining B-grade Alpha. Everyone surrounded her, looking at her like a rare protected animal.

Then the scene abruptly shifted, and she was back in the classroom, with the teacher starting to quiz her on professional questions.

Jing Chaocao: “…”

What was all that about?

Although thoughts during the day lead to dreams at night, why were all of them bad omens!

In a few minutes, she received the hospital address from Chi Wanzhu. After searching it on the navigation, she found it was quite a distance from her school.

【Jing Chaocao: I plan to leave early. Shall we meet at the hospital entrance then?】

She looked at the contact name [Kind, Generous, Beautiful CEO Chi] at the top, and saw “The other party is typing” displayed below.

A few seconds later, the message came through.

【Kind, Generous, Beautiful CEO Chi: No need. Just wait at the school gate. Someone will pick you up.】

【Kind, Generous, Beautiful CEO Chi: In about twenty minutes.】

【Jing Chaocao: Okay!】

She had to admit that since she met Chi Wanzhu, the other person, despite appearing cold, had been truly good to her.

After finalizing the details, she began to pack the items she needed to bring today.

First, there were the various agreements they had signed, which would be useful when terminating the contract, and the marriage certificate she had only received a few days ago.

She opened the marriage certificate. The photo background was a cheerful red, which suited them well.

Then there was the bank card Chi Wanzhu had given her as spending money.

She hadn’t needed to use any money recently, so the balance was untouched.

Jing Chaocao thought Chi Wanzhu wouldn’t be petty enough to take the card back, but it was safer to bring it just in case.

And then, she also had to bring the tofu she had originally planned to use to smash her head against, and the noodles for hanging herself.

However, as she looked at where the two items were supposed to be, her stomach rumbled.

Jing Chaocao: “…”

No wonder she couldn’t become a main character in the original plot.

A love for food was her nature and couldn’t be changed!

But she had to admit, tofu with fresh noodles, plus two stalks of green vegetables, cooked in the small dorm pot, tasted truly delicious!

Cooking and eating the noodles took about twenty minutes.

When she arrived at the school gate, she saw a car parked by the roadside.

She had expected Assistant Lin to pick her up, but when she opened the car door, her eyes met those of Chi Wanzhu, who was sitting inside.

Her surprise was too obvious; her eyes widened slightly more than before.

Chi Wanzhu naturally noticed and asked, “Are you surprised to see me?”

She was dressed more casually than usual today. The silk satin shirt looked soft, and a very thin silver necklace rested on her collarbone.

Her long, wavy hair draped to the side, and her eyebrow was slightly raised, waiting for Jing Chaocao’s answer.

Jing Chaocao nodded: “It is a bit surprising.”

She first took her backpack off her shoulder, placed it in the car, and then got in herself.

The backpack was the one she usually carried, bearing the recognizable Z University logo.

Chi Wanzhu looked at it closely. She had also attended Z University, so she naturally recognized it.

But seeing it again after several years, there was a feeling of unfamiliar familiarity.

Moreover, her impression of Jing Chaocao as a “student” deepened.

A young, naive, and inexperienced Alpha who couldn’t even perform a temporary mark properly.

She was several years younger than me.

Jing Chaocao closed the car door, shifted her backpack to the side closer to her, and said, “I thought Assistant Lin would be here.”

After all, she had only met Chi Wanzhu once, and could already sense how busy the other person was.

To save time, it would be better for her and Chi Wanzhu to go to the hospital separately.

Coming to the school to pick her up would definitely waste travel time.

Chi Wanzhu listened and said, “Assistant Lin is off today.”

“Off?” Jing Chaocao took a few seconds to process, then began to reflect internally and silently apologized to Assistant Lin.

She hadn’t considered that possibility at all.

She hadn’t read many novels, but the few she had suggested that assistants around CEOs were generally all-purpose warriors.

Whatever the CEO asked, the assistant could accomplish.

And they would appear wherever the CEO needed them, almost as if they had teleportation abilities.

As for giving an assistant “time off,” the probability was even lower than the emergence of an SSS-grade Alpha.

“A regular day off.” Chi Wanzhu continued, “If you want to see Assistant Lin, you can ask her to come back.”

Although Star Group’s workload was heavy and demanding, it did not deprive employees of their various rights.

There was overtime, but the benefits, subsidies, and overtime pay were top-tier in the industry.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t attract students from top schools like Z University.

Hearing this, Jing Chaocao immediately shook her head: “No need! Seriously, no need!”

If she ruined Assistant Lin’s day off with a casual remark, she would definitely knife herself before Assistant Lin had to.

Her strong objection was evident, and Chi Wanzhu naturally sensed it.

She wouldn’t force the issue but asked, “Are you very familiar with Assistant Lin?”

After all, upon seeing her, the first person she thought of was Assistant Lin.

Jing Chaocao immediately shook her head. Although the other person’s tone hadn’t changed, she had an animal-like sharp intuition.

She was particularly sensitive to danger.

“Not familiar. It’s just that I’ve only met you and Assistant Lin. I don’t know anyone else.”

Chi Wanzhu should “understand” her well. Whatever information she wanted was easy to obtain.

But Jing Chaocao’s knowledge of her was limited to the plot, most of which focused on business struggles.

It was perfect for reading at night. She could fall asleep within five minutes.

The hypnotic effect was comparable to memorizing Traditional Chinese Medicine prescriptions.

Chi Wanzhu’s long, slender, pale fingers rested on the blanket covering her legs. She paused at the reply.

Recalling their few meetings, it was indeed Assistant Lin who arranged contact with Jing Chaocao.

She looked at the person next to her—young and vibrant. Whatever she was thinking was expressed on her face, making her very easy to understand.

The warm sunlight streamed through the car window, catching the fine strands of her hair, reflecting a golden glow.

Even just sitting next to Jing Chaocao, she could feel the warmth radiating from her, like a natural small heater.

Chi Wanzhu’s expression shifted slightly, and then she said, “In the future, you should meet people other than Assistant Lin.”

“…?”

Jing Chaocao hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Why? I don’t feel like that’s a good thing.”

Especially since Chi Wanzhu’s eyes seemed to have flashed with a hint of a smile just now.

Although it quickly vanished, she was quite certain she hadn’t misread it.

Chi Wanzhu pulled the blanket over her legs up higher.

The thin, ash-gray blanket was light, draping from her waist to her knees, forming some wrinkles.

Jing Chaocao watched as the other person’s long fingers smoothed out the wrinkles one by one, and then she heard the other person’s voice.

However, Chi Wanzhu didn’t directly answer her question but posed a different one: “Aren’t you curious why you had to get a marriage certificate the very next day?”

If they only needed pheromones, they could have just signed an agreement. There was no need to get the marriage certificate.

Jing Chaocao had obviously thought of this point.

Wait… I only thought of this now.

Perhaps the expression that flashed across her face was too obvious: contemplation, surprise, sudden realization, and finally, a frozen look.

She perfectly demonstrated her psychological journey, answering Chi Wanzhu’s question without saying a word.

Chi Wanzhu: “…”

So it wasn’t a lack of curiosity; the other person simply hadn’t considered that aspect at all.
