The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 9

Chapter 009: Is Jiu Jiu There?

Chen Mengyi was truly an extraordinary woman. Not just compared to other Omegas, but even compared to Alphas, Chen Mengyi was a very aggressive person. Her Omega gender was not a burden but rather like a jewel adorning her crown.

Bai Yue had the same feeling when she looked at successful women in her previous life.

“Yueyue, why did you suddenly decide you want to invest in a movie?”

The question Chen Mengyi asked made Bai Yue feel like she was being quizzed by the Dean of Students. Bai Yue averted her gaze. She couldn’t very well tell Chen Mengyi directly: Because I want to cause trouble for Su Xi. I need to plant actors in the movie she’s investing in to make it fail.

So, she could only find an excuse: “Ah, um… I suddenly just felt like investing in a movie. Recent movies haven’t been good; they’re getting more and more boring.” This reason was just something she came up with on the spot, but once she started talking, Bai Yue spoke with more and more fervor.

“Today’s movies are becoming truly unwatchable, especially romance films. It’s always the same story: a poor Omega meets a domineering Alpha, and they fall into a sweet romance.” Initially, Bai Yue quite enjoyed watching them. Because this world prioritized the secondary genders, the three sexes of ABO, and didn’t focus much on the primary genders, male and female, this led to many… well, female-female movies.

This was sheer heaven for Bai Yue! Heaven!

She no longer had to live the life of constantly searching for authentic lesbian films, practically digging three feet underground, as she did in her previous life. Of course, she meant proper films, not “small movies.” Legitimate lesbian films that made it to the big screen were few and far between, whereas several famous gay male films could be named.

And even if there were lesbian films, they often inevitably involved some male-female romance, as they were often made by male directors and were bound to contain such plotlines.

Occasionally, there were low-budget web dramas, usually from small language countries. It was one thing not to understand the language, but some didn’t even have subtitles. The world’s lesbians had suffered for a long time from a lack of films; the only two available were treated as treasures and periodically watched.

While legitimate lesbian films were rare, ambiguous ones were plentiful. But ambiguous ones were only enough for shippers; for a true lesbian like Bai Yue, it was like scratching an itch through a boot—you watched, but it didn’t feel like you watched.

So, the female-female films in the ABO world were a blessing for Bai Yue! It was just that because they featured Alpha women, it inevitably felt a bit like watching films about aggressive butch women.

Ah, it wasn’t unacceptable; at least they were two women.

But after watching too many, especially with the recent trend in film and television shifting away from sexual freedom towards gradually mimicking Mainland Chinese entertainment, Bai Yue found it incredibly frustrating. Why would you imitate Mainland Chinese entertainment? That scene is a mess!

Dramas were increasingly leaning toward the “white lotus” and “domineering CEO” archetypes. Actors relied more on their personas than acting skills. Fans of starlets in the film industry were becoming more aggressive, and ordinary viewers were required to keep silent.

Bai Yue didn’t have much to do, so watching movies and TV shows was a good way to alleviate boredom, but with the increasing “Mainland Chinese entertainment” trend, Bai Yue felt her small hobby was almost being taken away. Now that she had an opportunity, she naturally vented her frustrations.

Bai Yue kept chattering non-stop, and Chen Mengyi listened beside her.

Actually, Bai Yue’s initial “Ah” and “Um” instantly let Chen Mengyi know that Bai Yue was lying. She definitely didn’t just decide to invest in a movie; there had to be another reason. However, Bai Yue’s subsequent complaints were truly heartfelt, and Chen Mengyi could hear how frustrated she was.

Chen Mengyi was a good guardian. Although she was meticulous and inquired about everything concerning Bai Yue, she wasn’t the type to completely deny the “child” her personal space. Since Bai Yue didn’t want to talk about it, she wouldn’t press her. When the time was right, Chen Mengyi would naturally find out.

She wasn’t being overly confident; Bai Yue was simply too easy to read.

Chen Mengyi didn’t watch many TV shows or movies. She was too busy, and all her free time was dedicated to Bai Yue. She didn’t have the leisure to watch entertainment products. It was only during her school days that she occasionally had time to cuddle up on the sofa with Bai Yue and watch TV together.

Those memories were nice. Chen Mengyi recalled the scenes and couldn’t help but smile. Then she asked Bai Yue: “Then let’s go inspect the subsidiary company’s work this afternoon. It’ll be a chance for you to take a look.”

The subsidiary company here, of course, referred to the entertainment company. Although Bai Yue was a bit silly, she wasn’t stupid and was instantly happy: “Great! Can I invest in a movie?”

“Of course, you can.”

After a brief chat, Bai Yue suddenly had a moment of clarity. She looked at Chen Mengyi, hesitated for two seconds, and then spoke decisively: “But aren’t you very busy? Your assistant just called you away. Are you done with your work? Can you really go this afternoon? If you don’t have time, Wang Yao can accompany me.”

Chen Mengyi had an excellent memory and immediately realized that Wang Yao was the junior assistant she had assigned to Bai Yue and who had just toured the company with her. She gave Wang Yao an imperceptible glance, then looked at Bai Yue: “It’s no trouble. Don’t you trust me? That bit of work is nothing to me.”

In reality, Chen Mengyi’s schedule was completely packed; she didn’t have a moment to spare for unscheduled excursions. But for Chen Mengyi, Bai Yue was the top priority.

Bai Yue’s doctor had also told Chen Mengyi that Bai Yue needed to go out and be more active. But Bai Yue was a homebody who generally disliked going out. Now that she had suddenly developed an interest and wanted to go out, Chen Mengyi certainly wouldn’t discourage her hobby.

Letting someone else accompany her was out of the question, completely out of the question. After such a short acquaintance, Bai Yue already knew the person’s name and specifically asked for the junior assistant to go with her. Chen Mengyi was being remarkably calm for not firing the girl outright.

Chen Mengyi’s words made Bai Yue laugh. The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but turn up, and praise flowed freely from her mouth: “Of course, I believe you! You are Chen Mengyi. Our smartest, most capable Mengyi!”

Bai Yue meant what she said, as she genuinely felt a sense of “my girl has come of age” pride for Chen Mengyi. The thought that Chen Mengyi had grown up to be so beautiful and excellent because of her gave Bai Yue a little swelling of pride.

Because in the original novel, the villain Bai Yue was not the type to willingly hand over her family’s assets entirely to an outsider. She constantly sabotaged Chen Mengyi and did her best to hold her back. Chen Mengyi was stressed and exhausted, and the business was not as big as it was now.

The novel described Chen Mengyi as a smiling tiger, but the few times Chen Mengyi was depicted alone, it was with the weariness behind her smiling mask. She would read company reports late into the night, pinching the bridge of her nose, and genuinely think: “Why doesn’t Bai Yue just die?”

The Chen Mengyi in the novel was completely unhappy. She struggled and climbed so hard, only to be kicked down repeatedly by the villain Bai Yue. Every time Bai Yue read it outside the book, she felt heartbroken.

Now, things were much better. Although the current Chen Mengyi was busy, she was happily busy. Having been with her for so long, Bai Yue naturally knew what kind of person Chen Mengyi was. She was single-mindedly running toward greater heights.

Every time she saw Chen Mengyi so vibrant and smiling, Bai Yue couldn’t help but think: It’s all thanks to me.

However, the immediate priority now was to eat lunch.

Chen Mengyi brought Bai Yue back to the President’s Office. Bai Yue took out her phone from the pocket sewn onto the side of her wheelchair. She glanced at it and realized: It’s already past 11:30, almost noon. It didn’t feel like they had been wandering for long, but time had flown by.

Bai Yue knew exactly how Chen Mengyi had been able to find her so easily just now: her phone was linked to Chen Mengyi’s phone with a couple’s location-sharing app. Embarrassingly, this app was developed by a subsidiary of the Bai Group.

When Chen Mengyi first asked Bai Yue to install it, Bai Yue was a little reluctant because the name was too mortifying.

It was actually called $Jiu Jiu Zai Bu Zai (Is Jiu Jiu There?).* The name sounded too childish, making Bai Yue’s paralyzed toes want to curl up and scratch the floor. If her feet could move, she would have dug out a three-bedroom apartment by now.

Despite the embarrassing name, the app was actually incredibly powerful and its location tracking was extremely accurate, even displaying the corresponding altitude and calculated floor level on a floor plan. This was why Chen Mengyi had poured a significant amount of money into $Jiu Jiu Zai Bu Zai. The person in charge of the software development company, with the ultimate boss using the product, dared not show the slightest negligence.

This formed a virtuous cycle. $Jiu Jiu Zai Bu Zai evolved from a simple couple’s location app into a multifunctional inter-connectivity software, making outstanding contributions in various fields such as child tracking and elderly tracking at home. The initial couple’s location feature became a less conspicuous part of the app.

However, the person in charge dared not slack off, and the couple’s function was still their main focus.

Back in the office, Bai Yue immediately spotted several dishes placed on the coffee table. Bai Yue controlled her electric wheelchair to move next to the coffee table. Chen Mengyi stood behind her, telling Bai Yue to hold onto the armrests, adjusted the height of the wheelchair, and then joined Bai Yue for the meal.

Because of her legs, Bai Yue couldn’t lean forward to pick up food like a normal person. Fortunately, she had an external limb—Chen Mengyi. Chen Mengyi would sit next to her and pick up food for her.

The only thing was, most of the time, the food Chen Mengyi picked up was what Bai Yue didn’t like.
