The Disabled Villain Omega Uses Her Riches to Get Close to People (GL) - Chapter 8

After leaving the Bureau of Civil Affairs, Chi Wanzhu went straight to the company.

She arrived at 10:15 AM, fifteen minutes late for the scheduled board meeting.

Chi Wanzhu glanced at the time, unconcerned, and merely told her assistant, “Go to the conference room first and tell them I will be there shortly.”

After giving instructions, she pressed the button for the exclusive elevator and ascended to the twenty-sixth floor.

As expected, the person she wanted to see was already there.

Chi Wanzhu, seated in her wheelchair, called out calmly, “Grandpa.”

Despite his age, already over seventy, the deep wrinkles couldn’t hide Pool Mao’s sharp gaze—a formidable aura forged by years in the business world.

“I will not intervene in today’s shareholder meeting,” Pool Mao said in a low voice.

He looked at his granddaughter, who remained unperturbed even after hearing his statement.

Five years ago, Chi Wanzhu leapfrogged her Alpha father and brother to take over as the successor from Pool Mao.

No one knew that at the time, Pool Mao was critically ill, and the company was facing internal difficulties. Chi Wanzhu had secured the succession right by promising to restore the company to its former status within five years.

However, the majority of the shares were not transferred and remained firmly in Pool Mao’s hands.

Now, the five years were up, and her Alpha father and brother were hoping to reclaim control of the company.

Today’s shareholder meeting was a trap they had jointly set for her.

Chi Wanzhu did not reply, only stating, “Grandpa, you should know that they cannot control the company.”

In five years, Chi Wanzhu had expanded the group’s high-tech industry into various fields, including home furnishings, automobiles, medicine, and scientific research.

The pheromone therapy device and pheromone inhibition collar that she personally spearheaded and planned the research and development for had become essential products for most Alphas and Omegas.

The valuation of Star Group had increased severalfold, surpassing other influential families in Jiang City to secure the top position.

In the past five years, she had replaced the company’s elite and backbone staff.

Even if her father and brother took over the position of CEO, they would fail to command respect.

Pool Mao picked up the steaming tea on the table and slowly said, “As long as they can maintain the fundamentals, they won’t be bad.”

Essentially, she and Chi Wanzhu were the same kind of person—merchants who prioritized profit.

Only the one who could bring profit to the group mattered, outweighing even the bond of family.

This was why, five years ago, he had overcome all opposition to make Chi Wanzhu the successor.

But he wanted a useful sword, not a bird that had grown strong wings and flown away.

In just five years, Chi Wanzhu had reformed the group like a blood transfusion, even cutting away a significant portion of his original influence.

It could be said that today’s shareholder meeting had his tacit consent.

“The Dong family of Jiang City, the Liu family, the Wang family…”

With every shareholder’s name Chi Wanzhu spoke, Pool Mao’s expression darkened further.

As the Star Group grew, even the scattered shares, when tallied up, could equal the shares held by Pool Mao.

Even his old friends couldn’t resist the temptation of money.

Furthermore, Pool Mao was over seventy and could pass away at any time.

Aligning themselves with Chi Wanzhu, however, seemed like a safe bet, as Chi Wanzhu was still young.

Chi Wanzhu never did anything without certainty. “Grandpa, please take care of your health. You’re welcome to visit the company more often afterward.”

Only then did she push her wheelchair and leave.

Pool Mao finally realized that Chi Wanzhu hadn’t come to beg for his shares.

She had come to notify him.

In the conference room.

The father and son, Chi Lin and Chi Hang, were anxiously watching the time, constantly worried about unforeseen changes.

The clock hand pointed to the 4, and Chi Wanzhu still hadn’t appeared.

She had only sent an assistant, and the assistant was tight-lipped, offering no information.

Chi Hang couldn’t help but whisper to Chi Lin next to him, “Dad, is it possible Chi Wanzhu really managed to get shares from Grandpa?”

Chi Wanzhu held some shares, and if she secured more, everything they had planned today would be a joke.

“Calm down,” Chi Lin rebuked him softly. “I asked Dad’s opinion on the way here. He won’t interfere.”

They believed Pool Mao’s words; not interfering meant not helping either side.

This was greatly advantageous to them.

Besides, they were Alphas, and their advantage over Chi Wanzhu was immeasurable.

Chi Hang pursed his lips, feeling a bit relieved. “Dad’s right. No matter what, she’s still an Omega.”

A few minutes later, Assistant Lin received instructions and opened the conference room door.

Everyone finally saw the long-awaited Chi Wanzhu.

“President Chi is always punctual,” the first shareholder to speak said with a facade of concern. “But you’re twenty minutes late today compared to the scheduled time. Is President Chi feeling unwell?”

He was aligned with Chi Lin and Chi Hang. His concern was a pretense; his intent was to challenge her.

How could someone with poor health ensure the completion of group affairs? They had set the trap the moment Chi Wanzhu entered the room.

“Thank you for your concern, President Lin,” Chi Wanzhu said faintly. “I was seeing Grandpa just now, which caused a delay.”

Pool Mao’s guess was right; she didn’t go to see him for his shares.

It was for two reasons: notification, and this very statement.

No matter what, hearing “Pool Mao,” they wouldn’t press the issue further.

Seeing that the difficulty failed, Chi Lin stopped hiding and covering up. “Wanzhu, we remember your contributions to the company over the past five years.”

“But since its establishment, Star Group has always been led by the person with the most shares. You shouldn’t have an objection to this, should you?”

Chi Hang chimed in next to him: “Exactly. Besides, we are worried about your poor health and want you to go home to rest and recuperate.”

Chi Hang and Chi Wanzhu were half-siblings; they had little affection for each other.

But his words now made him sound genuinely like a concerned brother.

Disgusting.

Regardless of Chi Wanzhu’s thoughts, just hearing these words made Assistant Lin, who was listening in, grateful that she hadn’t eaten breakfast this morning.

Otherwise, she would have vomited.

Chi Wanzhu slightly frowned. “Address me by my title at the company.”

Chi Lin was suffocated by anger but still had to comply, believing Chi Wanzhu was just stalling for time.

But since a little forbearance goes a long way, he held back and asked, “President Chi, do you think what we just said makes sense?”

“Of course it makes sense. Isn’t it only right for the person with the most shares to be the head of the company?”

“And I heard that President Chi has visited the hospital numerous times in recent years. What is your health condition like?”

“I heard President Chi has Pheromone Disorder? I’m not comfortable entrusting everyone’s interests to someone like that…”

“Pheromone Disorder?! Is that true or false?”

“…”

Of course, some shareholders sitting there belonged to Chi Wanzhu’s faction.

They had witnessed the Star Group’s steady growth under Chi Wanzhu’s leadership in recent years.

Conversely, they knew more or less about the characters of Chi Lin and Chi Hang: inept and constantly reckless.

So, the conference room became noisy, like a marketplace, with everyone arguing for their own interests.

Chi Lin even projected his shares onto the big screen, worried that people wouldn’t see his powerful evidence.

Chi Wanzhu watched for a few seconds, then lightly tapped the table a few times with the steel pen in her hand. The not-too-loud sound made everyone quiet down.

“The Group has indeed followed equity to determine the person in charge in previous years,” Chi Wanzhu signaled her assistant to distribute the documents in her hand to those present.

“However, there have been quite a few equity changes recently,” Chi Wanzhu said calmly and collectedly. “It’s a good opportunity to use this meeting to ensure everyone is aware.”

“This…” Chi Lin looked at the document in his hand, trembling with anger. “How is this possible?!”

Chi Lin and Chi Hang’s shares combined amounted to thirty percent, but Chi Wanzhu had consolidated one percent more than them through various means.

Coupled with Chi Wanzhu’s contributions to the Star Group over the years, no one would question her again.

Seeing the stunned silence, Chi Wanzhu added, “Furthermore, my health is excellent, so there is no need for your concern.”

After saying that, her gaze fixed on her “dear brother”: “Manager Chi, next time you enter the conference room, remember to clean the pheromones off your body first. Otherwise, it would be a shame if you were arrested as a hooligan.”

Her Pheromone Disorder caused her pain when stimulated by unfamiliar Alpha pheromones.

Chi Hang and Chi Lin clearly intended to embarrass her, deliberately wearing Alpha pheromones from an unknown source that had been present since they entered the conference room.

Fortunately, her acceptance of Jing Chaocao’s temporary mark yesterday allowed her to hold on until now.

Her ability to maintain composure under the stimulation of Alpha pheromones for so long was enough to refute the recent doubts.

The shareholders, having witnessed it firsthand, naturally didn’t doubt anything. After exchanging pleasantries, they all left the office.

Of course, some people who had opposed Chi Wanzhu moments ago were now terrified after leaving the office.

Why did they have a moment of stupidity and listen to the father and son, Chi Lin and Chi Hang, trick them!

Naturally, Chi Lin and Chi Hang’s faces were even paler, even showing a hint of fear.

The scheme they had planned for years was, in the eyes of the other party, merely a childish game, easily resolved with two documents.

Moreover, no one knew better than them how vengeful Chi Wanzhu could be.

Only after everyone had left the conference room did Chi Wanzhu release her grip on the steel pen, her hand having turned white from the effort.

“President Chi.” Assistant Lin quickly closed the door.

She had been worried ever since she smelled the Alpha pheromones.

Chi Wanzhu’s Pheromone Disorder could not be stimulated, let alone for such a long duration.

“Back to the villa.” The back of Chi Wanzhu’s neck was starting to sting.

“Yes, the car is downstairs.” Assistant Lin asked, “Do you need me to contact Dr. Ji?”

Usually, in such situations, a large amount of potent inhibitor was required, and Dr. Ji Ling needed to be present.

Assistant Lin quickly found Ji Ling’s contact information. Just as she was about to make the call, she heard Chi Wanzhu speak.

“No need.”

Her fingertip landed on the newly saved phone number.

She dialed it.

Fifteen minutes ago.

Jing Chaocao and Xu Zhihuai left the bubble tea shop. Xu Zhihuai paid the bill.

“You’re about to become a big rich woman. Why are you still exploiting me?” Xu Zhihuai started protesting as soon as they left the shop.

Jing Chaocao just nodded, smiled at her, and repeated, “A tragic end?”

She certainly couldn’t burn her paper money now. It was more practical to hustle for some real money.

Xu Zhihuai: “…”

Okay, this one is indeed my fault.

They walked towards the school. Several students nearby were handing out flyers.

“Sunflower Amusement Park opens today, 50% off all tickets…”

Xu Zhihuai was still immersed in the sorrow of losing twenty yuan and didn’t pay attention.

But Jing Chaocao heard the name, “Sunflower Amusement Park. That sounds a little familiar!”

“Sunflower?”

Xu Zhihuai was about to scoff at the childish name.

But then she realized, wasn’t this where the two protagonists first met?!

One was a college student working part-time who accidentally bumped into an Alpha in a rut and was temporarily marked.

Because of this, the protagonist developed Pheromone Hypersensitivity, only able to accept this one Alpha’s mark, and even inhibitors became ineffective.

The two were thus bound together, beginning a series of melodramatic events.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhihuai panicked and quickly pulled Jing Chaocao along. “Quick, let’s go save my daughter!”

What kind of trashy plot? “Fated to be together?” No one is going to bully my daughter!

“Wait…” Jing Chaocao was forced to run behind her, spinning like a top.

She hadn’t noticed Xu Zhihuai had this much potential during the 800-meter physical test!

“Wait for what!” Xu Zhihuai’s words were cut in half by the wind. “I’m determined to stop this melodramatic farce today!”

Righteous and justified.

It would be better if the melodrama hadn’t been written by her.

Jing Chaocao understood the sentiment, but she had to ask breathlessly, “Do you know the way to Sunflower Amusement Park?”

Xu Zhihuai slammed on the brakes: “…”

Finally, sitting in a taxi going the opposite direction, she lamented, “Four wheels are indeed faster than two legs!”

Jing Chaocao: “…”

Fortunately, Xu Zhihuai had the protagonist’s contact information. Upon arriving at the amusement park, she quickly called the other party.

Within minutes, Jing Chaocao saw a girl running towards them.

She was wearing a white dress, presumably still preparing for the event, and had bunny ears on her head. She was exceptionally beautiful.

Luo Qiao was slightly surprised to see them and asked, “Zhihuai, why are you here?”

Xu Zhihuai didn’t answer. She first checked Luo Qiao up and down. Only after confirming she was unharmed did she feel relieved.

“You haven’t run into any strange people, have you?” she asked again, worriedly.

Luo Qiao shook her head, giving a sweet, gentle smile. “No. Are you guys here to play?”

It seemed the plot hadn’t unfolded yet. Xu Zhihuai finally let down her guard.

She then had the presence of mind to explain, “We heard the amusement park has a 50% off event today, so we wanted to come and play.”

She also introduced Jing Chaocao to her.

“Then I’ll show you around,” Luo Qiao was quite happy.

She didn’t have many friends at school. Xu Zhihuai had proactively talked to her a few days ago, and she cherished her friend.

Xu Zhihuai felt she absolutely had to keep Luo Qiao under her watchful eye today, so she agreed: “Sure!”

After saying that, she finally remembered Jing Chaocao beside her: “What about you? Do you want to play with us?”

Jing Chaocao: “…Did you actually remember I was here?”

For the first time, she felt so much like a lightbulb, and a super bright 150-watt one at that!

Luo Qiao smiled gently, proactively helping Xu Zhihuai out: “I’m familiar with this place, I can show you around.”

She meant well.

But after she spoke, Jing Chaocao felt even more like a lightbulb!

“You two just play,” she felt three people were too crowded. She only said, “I have something to do…”

Before she could finish, her phone rang.

Who is so helpful right now!

Jing Chaocao answered immediately without looking.

“Hello?”

“Jing Chaocao?” Chi Wanzhu’s voice was clear, cold, and a little hoarse.

In an instant, Jing Chaocao recognized the person on the other end. “President Chi?”

“Mm, it’s me.”

On the other end of the phone, Chi Wanzhu’s turbulent mood was inexplicably calmed by the other party’s vibrant voice.

She asked, “Can you come to Cloud Top Villa now?”

The electric current transmitted the Omega’s voice, which sounded clearly.

“I can.” Jing Chaocao immediately agreed.

“Good, then I’ll wait for you.”

After the other party hung up, Jing Chaocao realized that ever since she answered the call, her spine had felt a little numb.

Her fingertip, holding the phone, twitched slightly.

It couldn’t be that the phone is leaking electricity, could it!
