The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 11
It was undeniable, however, that because of the barrier created by Chen Mengyi’s pheromones, all other scents faded away from her. She didn’t have any particular feeling toward Chen Mengyi’s pheromones, primarily because she was far too used to them—so used to them that Bai Yue was surrounded by Chen Mengyi’s scent twenty-four hours a day.
In this moment, Chen Mengyi’s pheromones felt like an air purifier to Bai Yue.
If Chen Mengyi knew Bai Yue’s thoughts, she would probably knock her on the head.
Because Bai Yue was covering her nose, she couldn’t manually drive the wheelchair, so the task of pushing the wheelchair fell to Chen Mengyi again. She pushed Bai Yue forward, and the assistant following them went ahead to open the elevator. Upon reaching the elevator lobby, Bai Yue was noticeably more comfortable, and she took the handkerchief away from her face.
Bai Yue didn’t immediately return it to Chen Mengyi. She felt that since she had used the handkerchief, she should at least wait until it was washed before returning it. So, in a smooth motion, she tucked the handkerchief into the pocket on the side of her wheelchair.
The elevator soon arrived at the appropriate floor. As soon as she exited, Bai Yue saw a group of people standing at the entrance. They were men and women, and there were quite a few Omegas among them. Entertainment companies were much more relaxed about gender, so there were many more Omegas here than at the headquarters.
The person at the head of the group was a female Omega. She stepped forward, and her eyes held an ambition that was familiar to Bai Yue—her female superior from her past life had eyes quite similar to this woman’s. Furthermore, she showed some admiration for Chen Mengyi, which was unavoidable. Chen Mengyi had great prestige among the Omega community since high school. It was likely that no Omega would dislike an excellent peer.
However, when the woman’s gaze fell on Bai Yue, it carried a hint of confusion.
“Miss Chen, welcome to the inspection. And this is…”
She was somewhat asking the obvious. Which middle or senior manager under the Bai Group didn’t know that their Chairwoman was actually a cripple? However, Bai Yue was used to it. After all, for a first meeting, the person couldn’t just come up and say: “I’ve heard so much about you, Miss Bai Yue!” That would be even more awkward. Heard so much about what? The cripple?
So, the best approach was to feign ignorance and wait for Chen Mengyi to introduce her. Thus, Chen Mengyi stated directly: “This is Miss Bai Yue, the Chairwoman of the Bai Group.”
The female Omega opposite her bowed and extended her hand to Bai Yue: “Hello, Miss Bai. I am Zhang Haiyin, the CEO of Haiyin Entertainment Company. Please give me your guidance.”
Bai Yue understood. This company was originally Zhang Haiyin’s and was later acquired by Chen Mengyi. The name gave Bai Yue a crucial piece of information. Bai Yue extended her hand, shook Zhang Haiyin’s hand, and released it after a moment.
Afterward, they entered the reception room, and Zhang Haiyin began the company report. The assistant of Haiyin Entertainment Company handed Bai Yue a written copy, while Zhang Haiyin stood at the front to deliver the presentation. A string of technical terms spilled from Zhang Haiyin’s mouth, and Bai Yue felt as if she were listening to gobbledegook.
Wait, I came here to ask about investing. How did this turn into listening to a company report?
The main problem was that she didn’t understand a single word. In her past life, she was just a small employee; Bai Yue truly didn’t know much. In this life, although she was the sole heir of a wealthy family, as a cripple, her two mothers only wished for her to live happily, without any demands on her.
Even in university, Bai Yue studied art. She had a dedicated studio and still painted at home occasionally.
Listening to the report and looking at the financial statements gave Bai Yue a headache, as if she were sitting in a college calculus class. Even though she had just taken a nap, she was now so sleepy she felt ready to meet the Duke of Zhou (sleep). It was clear that Zhang Haiyin’s hypnotic ability was first-rate.
But the people around her were elites, all listening with rapt attention, and when it was time to applaud, they all enthusiastically clapped their hands.
Bai Yue had no idea what was going on, so she could only clap along.
Chen Mengyi later asked questions about some minor issues, and Zhang Haiyin explained everything. Finally, Zhang Haiyin also asked Bai Yue: “Miss Bai, is there anything you didn’t hear clearly or any questions you’d like to ask?”
Honestly, she hadn’t understood a single word, but she couldn’t reveal her ignorance at this point. She was the Chairwoman, after all. Even if she had to fake it, she needed to maintain appearances. With a righteous, serious face, she shook her head: “No, none.”
Bai Yue’s face was quite intimidating, possessing the aura of a sinister villain from a novel, especially when she didn’t smile. Her two mothers’ genes were so excellent that they allowed Bai Yue, who smiled like an absolute idiot, to look like a Great Boss with hidden depths when composed.
The meeting lasted for one hour. After it was over, Bai Yue was groggily sent home, while Chen Mengyi still had some matters to attend to. In the underground parking lot of Haiyin Entertainment Company, the family driver had already brought the car over. Chen Mengyi carried Bai Yue into the back seat and patiently spoke to her.
“Yueyue, you’ve been out for so long today, you must be tired. You go home first. You don’t have to wait for me for dinner; I have a business banquet to attend. But I will definitely be home on time, and I’ll give you a massage then.”
Chen Mengyi spoke while fastening her seatbelt. After confirming that the seatbelt wasn’t uncomfortably tight around Bai Yue, she smoothed the clothes on Bai Yue’s shoulder. To an outsider, the gesture might seem overly intimate, but to Bai Yue and Chen Mengyi, it was a very ordinary action.
Bai Yue acknowledged her. Chen Mengyi said a word to the driver, then closed the car door. As the car slowly started, Bai Yue could still see Chen Mengyi watching her in the rearview mirror. But after they turned a corner, the driver adjusted the rearview mirror, and Bai Yue could no longer see what was happening behind her.
“Ah!” Bai Yue couldn’t help but exclaim. The driver explained to her: “Miss, we’re about to leave the underground garage. I need to use the rearview mirror now.”
Bai Yue pouted: “I know.”
As the car slowly drove onto the elevated road, Bai Yue suddenly realized: What’s going on? What was I here for? Wasn’t I here to ask about investing? Why did I mysteriously listen to a report all afternoon without a single mention of investment?
No way, is it possible that besides my lower body paralysis, my brain isn’t working either? How could I forget the most crucial thing before it even started!
Upon returning home, Bai Yue called for her maid, the particularly butch Alpha one. When the maid came over, she asked: “Miss, do you need something?” The maid, Mama Li, was actually quite old, around forty, and Bai Yue heard her child was already in high school.
She asked the question after lifting Bai Yue onto her wheelchair.
Bai Yue said: “Mama Li, please help me look into Su Xi from the Su family, what she’s been up to recently.” She still had some sense and knew not to directly ask Mama Li to investigate what movie Su Xi was investing in, so she spoke indirectly.
Mama Li nodded and left, returning about three minutes later. Bai Yue was surprised by Mama Li’s efficiency. She deeply doubted how much Mama Li could investigate in such a short amount of time.
Mama Li, however, reported everything clearly: “Miss Su Xi from the Su family was tricked into investing in a movie through an online relationship a while ago. She went to the company today, cut ties with her online boyfriend, and kicked the person out of the production crew. However, the movie seems to be continuing, and her investment hasn’t been withdrawn.”
Hmm? There’s a plot like this?
It had been years since she read the novel, and she had skipped chapters, so it was no wonder she didn’t know some of the plot. But listening to Mama Li, the plot was truly more exciting than average. She transmigrated just a few days ago, was splashed with water last night, and today she went into battle. It was no wonder the book had so many readers.
Women, fighting, awesome.
Bai Yue suddenly regretted not reading the novel properly back then.
After thinking for a moment, she recovered and asked: “Mama Li, how do you know all this so clearly?”
Mama Li lifted her head and proudly huffed: “I have my ways, Miss, you don’t need to worry about it.”
“…” Sure enough, all the villain’s subordinates are capable individuals.
Bai Yue internally complained, then genuinely let it go. She probably wouldn’t have guessed that Mama Li’s “ways” were Chen Mengyi. In those three minutes she was gone, she had called Chen Mengyi directly. Chen Mengyi asked her to wait, and without hanging up, immediately asked her assistant, and thirty seconds later, relayed the details of Su Xi’s situation to Mama Li.
“Right, what’s the name of that movie?”
“Love Before the End of the World.”
Very good, a name that perfectly fit the stereotype. Bai Yue took a deep breath and wheeled herself back to her room, planning to play a game for a while.
The next day, after Chen Mengyi left for work, Bai Yue decided to try again. She asked Mama Li to contact the driver, and together with Mama Li and the driver, went to Haiyin Entertainment Company. Mama Li lifted her into her wheelchair, then pushed her all the way to the lobby.
Yesterday, with Chen Mengyi leading the way, they were unimpeded. But with Bai Yue alone, they were stopped by the front desk lady.
“Do you have an appointment, please?” If Bai Yue weren’t dressed well, she suspected the front desk lady would politely ask her to leave. Bai Yue took a deep breath, never having dreamed that she would one day be stopped at the entrance of her own subsidiary company.
Mama Li watched from the side, but only watched, with a hint of schadenfreude.
Bai Yue really wanted to put on a spoiled rich kid act, but the coming and going scents made her feel suffocated. Fortunately, she hadn’t changed her wheelchair today; it was still the one from yesterday, so Bai Yue subconsciously took out the handkerchief from the pocket and held it over her nose.
Ew, the scent has faded.
