This Scumbag Alpha Is a Little Sweet (GL) - Chapter 10

“I got in touch with your advisor and helped you come up with a preliminary thesis topic. What do you think of this?”

After promising to help Lin Yihan with her graduation thesis, Ning Zishu truly acted as Lin Yihan’s teacher. She diligently contacted Lin Yihan’s advisor and even helped her choose a thesis topic that wasn’t too difficult.

Ning Zishu knew that even though the core of Lin Yihan had completely changed, she couldn’t compare to the original Lin Yihan in terms of learning ability. If Ning Zishu didn’t help, Lin Yihan would not only fail the graduation defense, but she’d probably get a scolding from her advisor as soon as she submitted the first draft.

Frankly, Ning Zishu didn’t want Lin Yihan to delay her graduation or have her cover blown in front of outsiders, so she had to do her best to help.

After reading what Ning Zishu had written on the notebook she handed her, Lin Yihan nodded frantically. The topic was the same as the thesis she had pulled all-nighters to work on before she transmigrated. It should be much easier to write now!

“It’s great. This is the one.”

Ning Zishu felt a little more satisfied seeing how obedient Lin Yihan was.

“I’ve organized some reference materials. I’ll send them to you later. Read them twice yourself, then write an outline and send it to me. I’ll send you the bilingual version of the foreign materials. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me anytime.”

“Mm-hmm, thank you, big sister!”

Now, when Lin Yihan looked at Ning Zishu, her eyes were filled with a hint of adoration. How could there be such a good person? She not only helped her come up with a topic but also helped her find the reference materials.

Big sister is so nice, big sister is so awesome!

“…Remember to ask me anytime if you get stuck.”

Seeing Lin Yihan’s silly expression, Ning Zishu suddenly felt a sense of unease.

With her like this, can she really finish her thesis and graduation defense on her own?

But there were still two weeks left until the final deadline, which was more than enough time. If Lin Yihan couldn’t produce a satisfactory thesis, she could always do it herself.

She could help with the framework, organize the references, design the research methods and detailed process, and even help with the formatting. All Lin Yihan had to do was complete the specific research content herself.

In that case, it should be fine…

With Ning Zishu’s slight unease, Lin Yihan began her both painful and blissful thesis-writing period.

Because this world was just a fictional one with an extra secondary gender, the social background and world laws were no different from Lin Yihan’s previous world. Therefore, the formulas and reference data were not much different from what Lin Yihan had done before.

With her previous experience pulling all-nighters to write a graduation thesis, Lin Yihan’s progress on this one was much faster than she expected. Especially now that she had the smart and brilliant Ning Zishu as her guide, who would point out any flaws and mistakes in time, allowing Lin Yihan to avoid many detours.

Even though Ning Zishu is strict, she’s so amazing and such a great teacher!

Lin Yihan was crying tears of joy in her heart while painfully revising her thesis.

Is this what it feels like to have a big safety net?

“Big sister, since you’re so amazing, why don’t you work at a big company or a bank? Why do you want to become an actress?”

Ning Zishu, who was sitting across from Lin Yihan and carefully studying a script, looked up and stared at her, saying, “Because of my father’s case, almost no company is willing to hire me now.”

Lin Yihan, who had only been speaking casually, was immediately drenched in a cold sweat. She wanted to slap herself across the face.

Why do you have to be so thoughtless? Why did you speak without thinking?

This was all the original owner’s doing. She not only ruined a family and caused her father’s car accident, but she also ruined her promising future. This kind of deep-seated hatred could not be easily let go of.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred after betrayal.

So Lin Yihan no longer fantasized that Ning Zishu would have any lingering feelings for her after finding out the truth. She only hoped that when Ning Zishu got her revenge, she wouldn’t make her sweep toilets on the street. Even being a waitress would be fine!

“But acting is also good. I can experience the lives of different characters, which is an interesting experience for me.”

Seeing Lin Yihan lower her head guiltily, Ning Zishu was a little helpless and added a gentle explanation.

To be honest, for the current Ning Zishu, there were many jobs she could choose from if she wanted. If she didn’t genuinely love acting, there was no need for her to enter the entertainment industry again, since she had already been recognized by everyone in her past life.

Analyzing the characters’ personalities in the script, understanding their emotions, putting herself in their world, and then at the end of the show, all of the character’s emotions would be stripped away, and she would return to her own reality.

Ning Zishu actually enjoyed this unique feeling.

“Mm-hmm, I believe big sister will do great. Winning ‘Best Actress’ will be a piece of cake!”

After all, Ning Zishu was indeed the most popular actress in the future. A beautiful, kind, and smart person like her would definitely do well in anything she did!

“Oh yeah, big sister, have you considered signing with a company yet?”

Ning Zishu shook her head and put down the script. She had planned to use her work as a stepping stone to sign with a big company after the art film was released.

As for now, even with her good looks and her status as an S-class Omega, she could only enter a second-rate company at most. The treatment and resources she would receive would probably not be very good, which would be unbearable for Ning Zishu.

“Oh, well, have you considered Guangling? Although it’s a newly founded entertainment company, it’s actually a company the Gu family group is using to train its heir. It has no shortage of connections or resources and is definitely full of potential.”

“And I just happen to know this heir. We could even be considered childhood friends. Her abilities and vision are great. She will definitely be your talent scout!”

The heir of the Gu family group was Gu Yangjin. She was the official love interest who would work with Ning Zishu to deal with the original owner in the future. Guangling was also the company that would discover Ning Zishu’s talent in the future.

By making Ning Zishu and Gu Yangjin meet four years earlier, she didn’t believe Ning Zishu’s career wouldn’t take off.

And more importantly, she wanted to set up Ning Zishu and Gu Yangjin, the true couple.

A scumbag like the original owner wasn’t worthy of Ning Zishu’s love. Only an impressive and good-looking older sister like Gu Yangjin, with money and ability, was the perfect match for Ning Zishu!

They were going to end up together in the future anyway, so it was better for her to speed up the timeline.

Lin Yihan had it all planned out in her mind. She wouldn’t just build a good relationship with Ning Zishu, but also with Gu Yangjin. Once they started to get together, she would voluntarily step back. This way, they wouldn’t get too harsh with their revenge on her, the victim… right?

“If you don’t mind trying, big sister, I can contact her!”

Hearing Lin Yihan mention Guangling, Ning Zishu immediately thought of Gu Yangjin, and her mood became complicated for a moment.

In her previous life, her relationship with Gu Yangjin was complex beyond words. She only saw Gu Yangjin as a comrade and a companion against Lin Yihan and a good boss.

But after they dealt with Lin Yihan, Gu Yangjin tried to pursue her. After being rejected, their relationship became strained, and then she was attacked by a crazy Lin Yihan in the middle of the street…

But if she ignored the entanglements of her past life and only considered her future career and company resources, Guangling was indeed her best choice right now. Ning Zishu wouldn’t refuse a path that would lead to a successful career just because of some minor issues from her past life.

She was a person with a partner now, and her partner was Lin Yihan, who had a good relationship with Gu Yangjin. Ning Zishu knew that Gu Yangjin would never fall for her again, so she had nothing to worry about.

But why would Lin Yihan recommend Guangling to her?

Guangling was just a small company with only resources and background. It hadn’t yet produced a superstar. It wouldn’t truly rise until Gu Yangjin had spent three years making it happen.

Was Lin Yihan’s suggestion just a random thought?

Ning Zishu’s eyes narrowed slightly. After spending the last few days with Lin Yihan, she had gotten a good handle on Lin Yihan’s personality.

One could say she and the original Lin Yihan were two extremes. One who did everything without a trace, never revealing her true feelings and having a deep mind, and the other who was very pure and whose thoughts were always reflected on her face.

The current Lin Yihan was so simple that Ning Zishu felt that if Lin Yihan had met the original Lin Yihan instead of her, she would have probably helped her count the money after being sold and wouldn’t have even realized she had been sold in the first place.

A lunatic who only needed someone to soothe her during her rut and an idiot who knew nothing. If they were to meet, their relationship would definitely only develop in a twisted direction.

Perhaps Lin Yihan genuinely just believed in Gu Yangjin’s abilities, which was why she recommended Guangling.

Ning Zishu couldn’t imagine any other reason Lin Yihan would have.

No matter how hard Ning Zishu guessed, she would never have guessed that the fundamental reason why Lin Yihan, her legally recognized partner, made this suggestion was that she wanted to set her up with Gu Yangjin.

If Ning Zishu knew about this, the gentle smile on her face would probably never return.

“Mm, I’ve heard of Guangling. It seems like a good choice. Then I’ll leave it to you, Yihan.”

“Yay! Don’t you worry, big sister. A golden nugget like you will shine anywhere you go and will definitely be noticed right away!”

Getting Ning Zishu’s consent made Lin Yihan ecstatic.

Thank goodness! She had successfully taken the first step toward setting up Ning Zishu and Gu Yangjin. This was a great thing!

During dinner that night, Lin Yihan opened her contacts on a social media app and clicked on “Jin,” which was at the top. She felt that it wasn’t a good nickname, so she changed the note to “Gu Yangjin (Official Love Interest).”

She stared at the chat box and sat on the sofa, mentally preparing herself for a long time.

Thank goodness Gu Yangjin was the original owner’s “first love.” No matter how cold the original owner was to everyone else, she would still like and comment on Gu Yangjin’s social media posts. So their relationship was still considered close—they just never met in person.

Otherwise, if Lin Yihan had to ask someone she hadn’t contacted in years for a favor, she would feel extremely awkward.

At her core, Lin Yihan was not a smooth-talking person who was good at dealing with strangers. She was even a little introverted. Even with good friends, she didn’t want to bother them too much, let alone ask for a favor from a familiar stranger whom she had never even met in person.

But Lin Yihan had no other choice now. To help Ning Zishu develop her career, to help the gentle big sister get together with her true love, and to change her own miserable future, she had to be brave!
