I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Qi Ran woke up from a nap and went downstairs, discovering that Qi Su had left at some unknown time.

Qi Tingfeng also called back to say he had things to do in the evening and wouldn’t be home for dinner.

Thus, in this huge home, he was the only one left.

He simply didn’t feel like eating much and had the family’s auntie cook him a bowl of noodles.

It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that Qi Su returned, finding Qi Ran slumped on the living room sofa, fast asleep.

He went over to wake him up: “Go back to your room to sleep; sleeping here will give you a cold.”

Qi Ran sat up and checked the time: “Brother, you just got back? Why so late?”

Qi Su rubbed the bridge of his nose: “Something came up at the company that I had to handle. It’s fine, go get some rest.”

Seeing his exhausted appearance, Qi Ran felt a bit of sympathy: “Brother, I’ve thought about it. It’s no good for me to always be idle at home like this. Let me go to the company to help you. How about the perfume department? I’m interested, and I have confidence.”

This wasn’t the first time Qi Ran had mentioned the perfume business. Qi Su gave him a serious look: “Do you really want to go?”

Qi Ran nodded, his eyes full of expectation.

“Then we have to agree on this: if you go, you can’t be like before working three days and fishing for two [skipping out]. If you’re going to do it, do it seriously for me, otherwise, don’t do it at all.”

Obviously, he had done too many absurd things in the past, and he no longer had any credibility with Qi Su.

Making amends wasn’t something that could be done just by talking; fortunately, he wasn’t the “Qi Ran” from before anymore.

He nodded: “Don’t worry, Brother. This time I will definitely work hard and won’t lose face for you or Dad.”

“Then tomorrow morning you’ll come to the company with me to report. You’ll start from the grassroots level.”

“No problem. Then I’m going to rest. You should go to bed early too, Brother.”

“Mm.”

Qi Su watched Qi Ran run upstairs and shook his head, wondering how many days Qi Ran could stick it out this time.

Qi Ran used to be a perfumer, but his life was short; just as he was gaining a bit of fame, he was struck directly by a lamp falling from the ceiling at a press conference.

His career was cut short before it even truly began.

Now that he had another opportunity like this, there was no way Qi Ran would give it up.

Sensing his excitement, the Little White Bird said rather uncomprehendingly: [Actually, as long as the host completes the tasks well, you can ‘win by lying down’ and achieve financial freedom. You don’t have to work so hard~]

Qi Ran lifted the quilt and climbed in: “I recall you aren’t a ‘Salted Fish’ [lazy] system.”

Besides, relying on a system to achieve financial freedom who knows how many pitfalls he would have to walk through.

Better to rely on himself.

Sensing his disdain, the Little White Bird gave a whimper and went into self-isolation.

…

The next morning, Qi Ran got up very early just to let Qi Su see his sincerity.

When Qi Tingfeng saw him come down, he let out a sneer: “The sun has risen from the west. Why are you up so early to go show off now?”

Qi Ran: “…”

In his old man’s heart, he basically never had a good moment.

He approached with a grin: “You can’t always look at me with your old perspective. Can’t I have a day where I turn over a new leaf? Just you wait, I can definitely make you all see me in a new light this time.”

Qi Tingfeng looked at his indignant face: “Then do it first before you talk. I heard from your brother that you’re going to the company. I won’t interfere with anything else, but I have one requirement: be honest and obedient for me. If you’re going there to cause trouble, it’s better if you don’t go at all.”

“I know, just you wait and see.”

Qi Su came downstairs and saw they were both there: “Let’s go.”

“Brother, aren’t you eating breakfast?”

Qi Su shook his head: “No, I’ll have a cup of coffee at the company later. Let’s go, there’s work to do today.”

Qi Tingfeng waved his hand: “You guys go ahead, I have other things today.”

Qi Su didn’t say much and led Qi Ran out. After getting in the car, Qi Su started taking calls, one after another. Sitting beside him, Qi Ran felt his brother was incredibly busy just by watching.

Indeed, being a big boss isn’t something just anyone can do.

With great difficulty, he put down the phone and finally found time to tell him: “Eat lunch on your own, don’t wait for me…”

At this point, Qi Su paused and continued: “It’s Gu Bai’s birthday tonight. Do you want to attend?”

Not expecting Qi Su to mention Gu Bai proactively, Qi Ran immediately became interested: “Brother, can I attend?”

“Go if you want to.”

“Then I’ll go. Brother, what’s your relationship with Gu Bai? Is he my brother-in-law [brother’s husband]?”

Although the expression on Qi Su’s face didn’t change, his earlobes turned a shade of pink: “Mm. Come find me after work this evening; I’ll take you there.”

Qi Ran instantly beamed. He didn’t expect Qi Su to actually admit it. He thought that with Qi Su’s personality, he would be very repelled by Alphas; he didn’t expect an Alpha to actually enter his brother’s heart.

He was quite curious about Gu Bai.

“Then do I need to prepare a gift?”

“No need, he doesn’t lack anything.”

“Then I’ll find you after work.”

After arriving at the company, Qi Su personally escorted him to the perfume department and handed him over to the manager, Chen Rongsheng, before leaving.

As the manager of the perfume department and one of the chief perfumers, Chen Rongsheng, who had worked at the Qi Group for over a decade, naturally knew who Qi Ran was.

Seeing this young master run to their perfume department now, although Chen Rongsheng didn’t dare show it in the slightest, he was extremely depressed in his heart. Why did this ancestor choose their perfume department!

It was truly life-threatening.

“Second Young Master, this way please. Knowing you were coming today, I specifically had an office tidied up for you. Go take a look; if anything is missing, I’ll have it arranged immediately.”

Hearing the meaning of these words, it was clear they wanted to treat him like a mascot to be worshiped it would be best if he could stay quiet and not do or participate in anything.

But if he wanted to be a “salted fish,” wouldn’t he just stay home and lie down? Why come here!

“An office won’t be necessary. Manager Chen, just treat me the same as everyone else. Whatever you do, don’t give me special treatment. I truly want to learn something from you. I heard we are developing new products this quarter; can I take a look?”

Having not been in a laboratory for a long time, his hands were itching!

Meeting Qi Ran’s clear black eyes, Chen Rongsheng actually saw a few hints of seriousness in them.

However, he quickly thought of this young master’s fierce reputation and felt he was probably seeing things or having a hallucination.

“I know, President Qi has already told me. But before becoming a perfumer, there are still many things to understand. So, you need a period of time to understand what a perfumer is, don’t you? I’ve prepared some materials for you. How about you read them first to get familiarized, and after a while, when you have an understanding of perfumers, it won’t be too late to go to the lab. What do you think?”

What else could he say? He was just afraid he had ulterior motives and would cause trouble!

How could he not understand!

But he also understood Chen Rongsheng’s feelings. After all, a second-generation playboy like himself had used the “hardworking” reputation before just to come to the company and cause chaos; one had to be on guard!

He nodded: “Alright then, I’ll follow your arrangements, Manager Chen.”

Chen Rongsheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Qi Ran looked at the large office Chen Rongsheng had prepared for him; if someone didn’t know better, they’d think he was here to be a leader: “Manager Chen, this isn’t appropriate. You should just find me a desk. If my dad sees this, he’ll scold me again. You mean well, but I don’t want to get chewed out. Is that cubicle occupied? If not, I’ll sit there!”

As he spoke, Qi Ran turned and walked straight over. Chen Rongsheng froze for a moment and hurriedly followed: “Won’t it be too simple here?”

“Everyone is here to work. If others can use it, why can’t I? Manager Chen, I know you might have some doubts about me, but it’s okay let’s let time speak for itself.”

Seeing that Qi Ran actually sat down there, Chen Rongsheng couldn’t help but feel a bit suspicious.

Has this ancestor truly turned over a new leaf?
