Transmigrating as the Villainess Trying to Seduce the Female Lead, Besides Being Slept With, What Else Can Happen? ABO - Chapter 22
This city has always had regular gatherings for entrepreneurs, but usually the activities are attended by the children who haven’t yet taken over the family businesses, allowing them to network. Although Lin Ji and Wen Shangxuan were listed as members, they rarely showed up.
However, today was a bit special because the female lead Omega would choose to appear at today’s gathering. And Wen Shangxuan, who usually didn’t attend these events, would also be present because a close friend had invited her to speak at today’s activity.
The female lead Alpha and the female lead Omega would have their first interaction at this gathering.
However, in the book, Wen Shangxuan was still her carefree self at this time and had no impression of the female lead Omega at all. It wasn’t until after the camping trip that she truly developed feelings for the female lead Omega.
The supporting female character didn’t appear in the book at this time. She was gradually turning bitter due to Wen Shangxuan’s humiliation, and her work and personal life were at a low ebb, so no one invited her.
But the soul-swapped Lin Ji had gradually become a well-known successor in the business world, and many elders and peers in her professional circles admired her. Therefore, they had strongly invited her to attend this time, using the gimmick of “Wens President sharing business experience,” and ambiguously asking her if she wasn’t chasing after someone before.
When invited, she wondered what kind of expressions these people would have if they knew how many times she and Wen Shangxuan had slept together without even knowing each other’s names. However, she herself was also quite curious to witness the female leads’ first meeting, so she agreed out of a sense of novelty.
Lin Ji leaned against the edge of a table, chatting softly with a friend she knew. It wasn’t until a commotion came from the other side that she looked up and saw a woman wearing a white low-cut backless dress, her long hair styled, her fair skin and star-like eyes, coupled with naturally red lips, her aura and appearance upon arrival immediately overshadowed all the other women present.
She’s here. Lin Ji took a sip of red wine, her eyes smiling.
“She just returned from developing her career abroad, the Gao family’s daughter. Her first appearance is so grand, it seems she plans to settle down and develop here,” her friend whispered, introducing her.
“Hmm, their family has been doing very well abroad in recent years. The younger generation probably wants to prove themselves,” Lin Ji said, quoting a line from the novel. “If there’s a chance to get to know her, maybe we can find cooperation opportunities.”
“You have a really high opinion of her,” her friend said, quite surprised. She knew that the people Lin Ji would actively want to get to know were all those with cooperation potential, and the projects Lin Ji had led so far had brought a lot of capital to the Lin Corporation.
“Ah?” Lin Ji smiled ambiguously. “Maybe it’s because she’s beautiful.”
When Wen Shangxuan entered, her first glance found Lin Ji at the bar on the left.
She had originally wanted to attend with Lin Ji, but the other woman had refused. The reason for the refusal had even made her quite heartbroken, saying they were just sex buddies and shouldn’t be so high-profile.
Just as she was about to walk over to find her, she noticed Lin Ji’s gaze fixed on the right side. Wen Shangxuan frowned and followed her gaze, and strangely, she immediately identified who Lin Ji was looking at. A woman in a white dress, her appearance very much in line with Lin Ji’s aesthetic.
She suddenly remembered accidentally finding many photos of beautiful people on Lin Ji’s computer, of various genders… labeled as backup lovers…
She almost couldn’t control her expression, wanting to take Lin Ji home.
“President Wen is here,” her friend whispered, reminding Lin Ji, who was still looking at the Gao family’s daughter. “She looks too… stunning tonight.”
Wen Shangxuan’s appearance also caused a stir in the venue. The reason was none other than that Wen Shangxuan was particularly exquisitely dressed tonight.
When Lin Ji looked over, she saw Wen Shangxuan staring intently at Gao Zhirui, who was the female lead Omega.
She took a sip of red wine, thinking absentmindedly that since the female lead Alpha and Omega had met, it was about time for her to exit the stage.
When Gao Zhirui saw Wen Shangxuan appear, her eyes lit up.
She had attended the gathering tonight after learning that the Wens President would be there to share her experiences, hoping to get to know her. As a leverage point, it would be best to make the company’s name known with one shot.
She had analyzed the companies in the city and believed that Wens had the most potential for sustained growth as a leader. Although Wen Shangxuan herself seemed to have questionable private morals and numerous romantic affairs, she wasn’t interested in this Alpha anyway; it was purely for work. As long as there was money to be made, who cared about the other person’s private life?
She beckoned a waiter, got two glasses of red wine, and walked generously towards Wen Shangxuan.
Wen Shangxuan secretly compared that woman in white with herself and scoffed, concluding that Lin Ji wouldn’t be able to appreciate the other woman. She withdrew her gaze and was about to go find her restless Omega when she was stopped by the host for greetings. After dismissing them in a few words, she looked up and found that Lin Ji was gone.
She looked around the venue in confusion, searching for her, until a greeting came from behind. Wen Shangxuan turned around.
“President Wen.” Gao Zhirui handed her a glass of red wine.
Out of politeness, Wen Shangxuan still accepted it. “You are?” she asked verbally, while inwardly cursing the little enchantress.
“My surname is Gao, you can call me Zhirui or Rui.”
“Hello, Miss Gao.” Wen Shangxuan took a step back, creating distance. At the same time, she was still looking for Lin Ji out of the corner of her eye, multitasking while dealing with this Miss Gao.
Lin Ji returned from the restroom and found that the female leads were already chatting, quite surprised by their progress, which was different from the book.
However, her goal for tonight had already been achieved. She had lost interest in the subsequent activities and didn’t want to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to her friend, she prepared to leave.
It was still early, so she could squeeze in another hour or two of work. As she walked out of the venue, she suddenly remembered the swimming instructor she had met last time…
Lin Ji immediately decided to change her plans, enthusiastically arranging to go to the gym, missing the gaze that was fixed on her from behind.
