The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 16

It wasn’t surprising that Bai Yue wanted to replace the Alpha protagonist’s actor, as his popularity was simply too high. As a rising star Alpha male celebrity, his fan base’s combat power was off the charts. After browsing his super-topic, Bai Yue knew he was the type who would guarantee a huge turnout of supporters when the movie was released.

She had also considered replacing the Omega protagonist’s actor, but she felt that wouldn’t be right. Primarily because the actor for that role had just been replaced. If someone was just settling into the crew and then she swapped them out again, they might immediately become emotionally unstable.

Many of the other roles were filled by veteran actors who hadn’t received parts in a long time. They were already in that situation, and if she replaced them… that would be truly heartless.

Bai Yue was only doing villainous things to complete the plot; she didn’t genuinely want to become a big bad person. So, among the group of veteran and junior actors, Bai Yue chose the most popular one. Bai Yue was quite pleased with herself, thinking that the rising star Alpha male celebrity must have cost the production crew a substantial amount of money to hire and was the film’s only guaranteed source of traffic.

Now, if she kicked this star out, the film would lose its box office guarantee and surely flop.

She had also planned the follow-up. Since the film flopped because of her interference, she would ask Chen Mengyi for more money to compensate the actors. Of course, the money would come out of her own pocket.

Bai Yue didn’t work, but her wallet was very full. Not to mention the annual dividends from her shares, the various assets her two mothers left her were dazzlingly numerous, enough for her to squander for three lifetimes without issue. With so much money, wasn’t it only right to use it to cover up the messes from her misdeeds?

It was just that due to Bai Yue’s health, the money was managed by Chen Mengyi on her behalf. Chen Mengyi communicated directly with the wealth management executive found by Bai Yue’s mothers, ensuring Bai Yue’s money grew exponentially.

Of course, Chen Mengyi never stopped Bai Yue from using that money, but Bai Yue didn’t have many places to spend it. At most, she used her accounts to buy games and some strange, useless items that were either just for show or couldn’t even be seen.

Hmm, and some art supplies and paint.

Bai Yue’s food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all covered by Chen Mengyi. She keenly noticed that these expenditures were paid from Chen Mengyi’s own accounts, without touching Bai Yue’s money at all. At first, Bai Yue felt a little guilty that Chen Mengyi worked hard to earn money only to spend it on her.

But now, she no longer felt guilty. After all, when she returned to her original world, all her money would be left to Chen Mengyi.

Bai Yue made up her mind, then contentedly put down her phone, closed her eyes, and went to sleep. The next morning at 6:30 AM, Chen Mengyi appeared by Bai Yue’s bed on time to wake her up. Bai Yue was groggy. She had spent too much time scrolling through super-topics last night and slept very late. 6:30 AM was truly a struggle for her.

However, she could go back to sleep after Chen Mengyi left for work, so she forced herself to stay awake, changed clothes, and ate breakfast with Chen Mengyi.

Just as she was about to send Chen Mengyi off, she saw Chen Mengyi pick her up. In that moment, all of Bai Yue’s sleepiness vanished. She widened her eyes and saw Mama Li skillfully fold her electric wheelchair and put it directly into the car trunk.

Mama Li saw Bai Yue watching her, winked at Bai Yue, and got into the car behind them.

Chen Mengyi, meanwhile, carried Bai Yue straight into the back seat of the car.

Bai Yue was confused: “Huh? What is this…”

She was utterly bewildered. Chen Mengyi fastened her seatbelt, got into the car from the other side, and after instructing the driver to start, she explained to Bai Yue: “Yueyue, didn’t you want to invest in a movie? Today is a good day to learn the basic filming process. If you want to cause trouble, you need to understand the fundamentals first, so you know how to cause trouble.”

What Chen Mengyi said made perfect sense, but Bai Yue really wanted to sleep.

Bai Yue thought she would immediately fall asleep in the car like last time, but the idea that she was “about to do something bad” lingered in her mind, making her inexplicably excited. A person who was honest, kind, and had never even stepped on an ant—truly had not stepped on one in this life—was now going to commit a misdeed!

Bai Yue felt a little shameful but couldn’t suppress her excitement.

The hour and a half drive was no longer unbearable. The car quickly stopped at Haiyin Entertainment Company’s underground parking lot. After putting Bai Yue down, Chen Mengyi instructed her: “You promised me you wouldn’t drink milk tea for these three months. You can’t forget.”

“Mmm, I remember.”

“No spicy sticks or anything like that either. If I find out, I’ll eat spicy sticks in front of you for a whole week.”

“…” Bai Yue truly didn’t want to endure the humiliation she suffered yesterday again, so she nodded and said, “I know already!”

Chen Mengyi was still worried and gave her several more instructions. Bai Yue checked the time: “If you don’t leave now, you’ll be late for work.”

As the President, no one would say anything even if Chen Mengyi was late, but seeing Bai Yue rushing her made her want to laugh. She finally tidied Bai Yue’s clothes and slipped her handkerchief into Bai Yue’s hand: “If you don’t like the smell outside, just smell this. But it has a time limit; the scent might be gone after half a day.”

Bai Yue blushed. In fact, there was still a scent; the handkerchief from the day before yesterday still had a faint smell when she sniffed it yesterday.

Just then, Chen Mengyi’s fingertip brushed against her cheek. Chen Mengyi’s finger was cool from the morning air, contrasting with Bai Yue’s flushed face. She asked softly: “Yueyue, why is your face red? Is it because the car was stuffy?”

Bai Yue raised her head, leaned back a bit, and pretended to feel stuffy by waving her hand in front of her. Her voice held a hint of avoidance: “Yes, a little.”

Chen Mengyi seemed to have been genuinely fooled. She nodded: “Okay, then. Wang Yao is waiting for you upstairs. If you need anything, give me a call.”

“Okay.”

After the final instructions, Chen Mengyi gave Mama Li a knowing look. Mama Li escorted Bai Yue to the elevator. The elevator arrived, and they all got in. Bai Yue stayed obediently in the elevator and raised her hand to wave at Chen Mengyi before the doors completely closed.

Chen Mengyi also raised her hand, watched the elevator doors fully close, then got into her car and instructed the driver to leave.

She was in a genuinely good mood. Bai Yue thought her little lie had fooled Chen Mengyi, but in reality, she didn’t believe Bai Yue’s nonsense. Stuffy car making her face red? It was clearly because of the handkerchief. Chen Mengyi understood that Bai Yue was just a small, bluffing dummy. She would be completely devoured by Chen Mengyi sooner or later, so Chen Mengyi wasn’t in a hurry.

But when she looked at the car window, since they were still in the underground parking lot, her reflection showed a smile she couldn’t hide. Chen Mengyi raised her finger and pressed the corner of her lips. Hmm… I’m a little dummy who can’t hide her thoughts either.

As Chen Mengyi said, Wang Yao was waiting for Bai Yue at Haiyin Entertainment Company. As soon as she got upstairs, she saw Wang Yao jogging towards her. Wang Yao smiled and said: “Miss Bai, CEO Chen instructed me to accompany you. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me. I look forward to taking care of you during this time.”

“You’re too kind.”

The more Bai Yue looked at Wang Yao, the more she liked her. It felt like a Great Boss looking at her little sidekick. She just wondered if the sidekick would be disappointed when she found out she was there to assist in her evil plan.

But before Wang Yao’s disappointment arrived, Bai Yue’s arrived first. Wang Yao took her directly to the conference room, where the male Beta assistant who delivered the milk tea yesterday began to lecture Bai Yue. He was truly teaching a class, no joke.

In that moment, an expression of agony crossed Bai Yue’s face—What is this? Why did she have to attend a lecture years after graduating? At first, Bai Yue listened with some interest, as it was about the film production process, which she had never paid attention to. But when it came to making money…

For example, how much one needed to invest and how much the box office needed to earn to make a profit, how much of the already invested money she would get back, and factors like advertising effectiveness. When a massive flood of dry and boring terms rushed at her, only desolation was left in Bai Yue’s heart.

She was originally quite eager because she was about to commit a misdeed, but all her excitement faded within half an hour. She hadn’t been sleepy at all, but now, under the man’s hypnosis, all she wanted to do was meet the Duke of Zhou (sleep). But Wang Yao was right there. She was listening intently, constantly taking notes, and whenever she saw Bai Yue dozing off, she would remind her to pay attention.

Bai Yue forced her drooping eyes open. After being called awake by Wang Yao for the fifth time, her initial fondness for her little sidekick gradually evaporated. She couldn’t help but ask Wang Yao: “Did Chen Mengyi instruct you to do anything when you came here?”

Wang Yao looked at Bai Yue, her eyes twinkling with a hint of admiration. She nodded firmly: “Yes! Miss Bai, you guessed it! CEO Chen said that Miss Bai is very talented, but always struggles to concentrate during dull classes. If you show any signs of daydreaming, I must call you back to attention immediately!”

This wasn’t an assistant sent by Chen Mengyi to be her sidekick; this was clearly a personal surveillance camera and an alarm clock arranged by Chen Mengyi.

Bai Yue twitched her lips. For Chen Mengyi’s sake, she reluctantly listened for another fifteen minutes, then decided to flip the table metaphorically.

“I won’t listen anymore! This stuff should be controlled by specialized personnel. As for me, I’m only responsible for throwing a tantrum!”
