The Scummy Alpha Who Transmigrated Into a Book Was Tricked by the Actress Omega - Chapter 9

The scorching wind stirred incessant whispers among the crowd. The driver, standing outside the car, was too irritated by the chatter around him to speak. He fanned himself with a small hand fan, wiping the sweat from his forehead vigorously. Spotting a slender woman approaching from a distance, he hastily put down the fan and hurried over. “President Yan, shall we depart?”

Yan Xunzhen smiled, her demeanor approachable and devoid of any condescension. “Yes, let’s head back to the company.”

The driver nodded obediently, opening the car door for her before smoothly driving her back to the company.

However, upon arriving at the company building, Yan Xunzhen waved her hand, stopping him from entering the underground garage.

The driver hesitated. “President Yan, you?”

Yan Xunzhen simply stepped out, her long, fair legs clad in a pair of exquisitely crafted, almost “ruthless” high-end heels, each step landing with a nerve-wracking click.

The coldly elegant beauty wore an intimidating expression both mesmerizing and silencing.

She removed the sunglasses perched on her nose.

At the same time, she sighed inwardly with dissatisfaction.

It was no surprise, the original owner’s reputation was abysmal, that of a notorious “playboy.” Outwardly, she was the respected eldest daughter of the Yan family, but in reality, she was often looked down upon, her words ignored.

Moreover, many paid lip service while secretly undermining her, like that manager who had sneaked someone into the film crew.

She still needed to assert her authority.

It seemed the warning she had given during the company’s mid-year meeting hadn’t been enough. Some still dared to question her position.

The odd expressions on the receptionists’ faces made it clear how unusual it was for Yan Xunzhen to visit the company. The same disbelief extended upstairs even her assistant didn’t expect her to show up daily.

Thus, when she mentioned the manager who was supposed to be fired from Junyan, her assistant was startled.

“Um, Manager Li hasn’t left yet. We thought.” We thought you were just speaking offhand.

Yan Xunzhen’s brows furrowed slightly as she cast a cold glance at the assistant. “Do you all take my words as a joke?”

“First, I previously instructed Manager Li to submit his reports to me. To this moment, not a single document has appeared on my desk. Second, bullying artists, leveraging the company’s reputation for personal gain these violate basic ethics and the law. And lastly.” Her fingers tapped the desk with deliberate weight.

“If you don’t want your job, you can leave with him.”

She crossed her arms and leaned back. “Now, I’m asking you.”

The assistant broke into a cold sweat.

He had never imagined Yan Xunzhen could undergo such a drastic transformation overnight. When she had previously held them accountable, he assumed it was just an act, a reaction to Du Zuilan’s provocation. But now.

Not daring to let his mind wander, he quickly responded, “Go ahead.”

Yan Xunzhen continued, “I’ve reviewed the materials from Ruiwang. I already stated we wouldn’t collaborate with them. Is the termination contract drafted?”

The assistant stammered, “Well, Ruiwang said they’d prepare it first.”

Wasn’t this a blatant slap in the face? Ruiwang was just a small company such audacious “aloofness” was unthinkable unless someone was backing them behind the scenes.

And who could that be? She couldn’t help but think of Tianneng, the company that would eventually acquire Junyan in the novel!

In the blink of an eye, Yan Xunzhen pieced together the sequence of events, feeling a headache coming on. She rubbed her temples and pressed her lips together slightly.

With the back of her hand facing her assistant, she gave a light wave, signaling for him to leave.

The assistant reached the door but paused momentarily: “President Yan, there’s one more thing. Miss Song is here, and Ms. Qiao is also waiting for you downstairs.”

Before the words had fully left his mouth, two knocks sounded at the door, followed by a woman’s cheerful voice filtering through the thin glass: “Yan Xunzhen, I’m here.”

Dr. Song also raised an eyebrow at the assistant: “You can go. Close the door behind you.”

For a moment, Yan Xunzhen couldn’t recall who “Ms. Qiao” was, her thoughts interrupted as Dr. Song pulled up a chair and sat down.

Though Dr. Song was a physician by profession, she came from a prominent wealthy family. Unwilling to compete with her siblings for the family fortune, she had chosen to work independently. Yet, in terms of connections, she was no less influential than Yan Xunzhen herself.

“Yan Xunzhen, I told you, you were acting like an idiot these past couple of years, completely obsessed with that omega. Now you finally know what it feels like to be humiliated!” Dr. Song’s tone was pure exasperation, unable to resist admonishing her friend now that she seemed to be turning over a new leaf. “Weren’t you planning to take down King Rui? But someone beat you to it.”

Yan Xunzhen nodded. “I know. It was Tianneng, wasn’t it?”

Dr. Song’s anger, halfway vented, fizzled out. She gritted her teeth. “Exactly! Even now, are you still thinking about how to get back together with Du Zuilan? Didn’t you swear off forcing things anymore?”

Yan Xunzhen hadn’t done anything wrong, so why was Dr. Song suddenly accusing her of reverting to her old ways?

Since taking the suppressant yesterday, she had improved significantly. The original scumbag alpha’s consciousness seemed to have been suppressed, but the moment Dr. Song brought it up, that restless heat surged back. Clenching her teeth, she managed to say, ” I told you I haven’t.”

Dr. Song sighed deeply and glanced toward the glass door.

A woman stood outside, voluptuous in figure, her makeup overly heavy and flashy for her age, yet her natural beauty still shone through. She must have been quite a looker in her youth, likely an omega.

Was this the “Ms. Qiao” the assistant had mentioned? Who was she?

It suddenly dawned on Yan Xunzhen. Could this be Du Zuilan’s mother?

She hadn’t even sorted out the company’s affairs yet, planning to clean everything up before making amends for the original owner’s mistakes one by one.

So, Yan Xunzhen stood up, a hint of apology in her voice. “Hello, Auntie.”

Ms. Qiao’s expression was sour, her lips downturned. She frowned as Yan Xunzhen approached, clearly in a bad mood.

Just as Yan Xunzhen was about to explain herself again, ready to denounce the original owner’s insanity, Ms. Qiao suddenly spoke up, asking:

“Why haven’t you sent this month’s money yet? What’s the meaning of this?”

…?

Yan Xunzhen only knew from the original novel that the scumbag alpha had used threats against Du Zuilan’s family as leverage to control her.

But this didn’t match the plot at all. Ms. Qiao, Du Zuilan’s mother was clearly not here out of concern for her daughter.

Yan Xunzhen couldn’t help but click her tongue in annoyance.

This plot is truly unreliable. The parts the original author didn’t write might not be as readers speculated perhaps, they’re completely the opposite.

As she was pondering, Ms. Qiao continued, “Are you going to give it to me or not? Didn’t I already stop Du Zuilan from going home? Didn’t you say that would force her to go to your place? Now that you’ve succeeded, why won’t you give me the money?”

To think there are mothers like this in the world, it’s truly eye-opening.

Her sharp gaze swept over Ms. Qiao from head to toe. Before she could even speak, Ms. Qiao went on:

“If you’re backing out now, plenty of others would fight to have her. Just today, someone from Tian, told me so.”

Yan Xunzhen: “…”

Well, well. Finally met someone who could rival a scumbag alpha.
