Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 45

Luan Yenan received a call from Luan Muyin.

She was conveying that Luan Lizheng was planning to host a grand banquet in three days to welcome Luan Yecha back, and also hinted that Luan Lizheng had been meeting with old friends recently.

“Your grandfather doesn’t hesitate to use strange tactics even against his own family.” Luan Muyin recalled the days when she was pulled in front of Luan Lizheng’s friends and belittled, unsure how to continue her story.

From her perspective, Luan Yenan was raised by Luan Lizheng. Even if Luan Lizheng lacks familial affection, does Luan Yenan not have any either?

Now, to let this stubborn girl know that the grandfather who raised her is willing to leverage old friends to gain advantages for her cousin’s return, surely she would be upset.

Luan Muyin’s words stopped there.

But Luan Yenan knew there was more to it.

The recent online public opinion situation was caused by Luan Lizheng. In the past few days, several people at the Luosheng International Racecourse intercepted Luo Yun, offering high prices to acquire “blockchain coins.”

If these incidents occurred sporadically, it might just be opportunistic speculators appearing. But their large-scale and unabashed occurrence clearly indicated something more deliberate.

She just didn’t expect Luan Lizheng to be so impatient.

Luan Yecha is returning tomorrow, and without giving him any time to rest, Luan Lizheng has directly scheduled a banquet for tomorrow, determined to use the suppression of Luan Yenan to build momentum for Luan Yecha.

While telling Luan Muyin that she would be cautious, Luan Yenan sat down at her computer and sent out messages to others.

After hanging up the phone.

She saw Zuo Baixuan still sitting quietly on the sofa, watching Luan Yenan, waiting for her reaction.

Luan Yenan smiled faintly and asked in return, “Did you hear everything?”

“Yes.” Zuo Baixuan lowered her eyes. “Do you have any plans for tomorrow’s banquet?”

“Our dance practice has been going well, so there’s no need to worry about that.” Luan Yenan replied.

Without even looking up, Zuo Baixuan knew Luan Yenan was smiling.

She was well aware that Zuo Baixuan wasn’t asking about the dance, but Luan Yenan deliberately answered this way—a common mischievous habit of hers.

Zuo Baixuan thought for a moment, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. “You said you were planning to make me the boss lady of the company, but you never share your plans with me. How can I even participate?”

When she looked up, she saw Luan Yenan gazing at her.

Luan Yenan had been waiting for a long time.

She was waiting for Zuo Baixuan to willingly and proactively join in.

“Since you’re interested, I’ll take you to the factory to have a look.” Luan Yenan said, standing up and opening the door.

The employees outside the office almost simultaneously looked up.

Seeing Luan Yenan step out first, they immediately lowered their heads again.

They were curious about the dynamic between the boss and the boss lady.

Especially how Luan Yenan, who was usually stern and exuded an intimidating aura, would behave when she was with her wife.

But the moment they saw Luan Yenan’s face, they instinctively chose to prioritize their own safety.

Luan Yenan glanced around. She was well aware of her employees’ little curiosities. Turning to Zuo Baixuan, she said, “It seems the plan to have you join the company will have to wait until after the second round of recruitment. Otherwise, it would be too pitiful for them to work hard while also trying to sneak a peek at us being affectionate.”

“Yet there’s not a trace of sympathy in your eyes.” Zuo Baixuan remarked.

Luan Yenan simply smiled.

She also felt that her past self lacked any sense of compassion.

As a child, when she heard about others’ tragic experiences, she remained expressionless while everyone else was sad.

As an adult, she would donate money to disaster relief, but deep down, she always felt that such tragedies were inevitable in life and there was no need to grieve over them.

She had even wondered if her ability to feel sadness had been worn away by the hardships she faced in her early years.

But now, something was different.

“At the end of this month, I’ll add a quarter’s worth of bonuses, but only if you all do your work well this month.” Luan Yenan said softly, her eyes on Zuo Baixuan.

The employees looked up. Who was she talking to?

“Good work, keep the accounts going.” Luan Yenan then turned to the finance department.

The finance staff was stunned for a moment before nodding repeatedly and jotting it down in their notebook.

All the employees then cheered excitedly, “Thank you, boss!!”

Luan Yenan looked back at Zuo Baixuan.

The employees quickly caught on and cheered again, “Thank you, boss lady!!”

Infected by the employees’ excitement, Zuo Baixuan felt a little embarrassed.

Feeling undeserving of the praise, she quickly waved her hands and hid behind Luan Yenan, pushing her to move forward.

“Now I understand why you can attract so many people despite such a heavy workload.” Zuo Baixuan muttered softly.

Elite employees were hard to come by, especially during the startup phase—it was a two-way selection. They stayed because they were capable, and Luan Yenan kept them because she was capable too.

Luan Yenan didn’t respond. Using salary to retain people was the most basic but effective method. However, to keep elites, money alone wasn’t enough.

When Zuo Baixuan entered what Luan Yenan called the “factory” she understood the core reason why Luan Yenan could retain these elites.

What Luan Yenan referred to as a factory was more like a server room.

From the outside, it looked like any ordinary, cold, and lifeless factory building. But after passing through the first door, it became clear that this place was filled with cutting-edge technology.

A specially hired security team guarded the area strictly, and every checkpoint required identity verification.

After passing through three security checkpoints, the low temperature inside the factory and rows upon rows of towering large-scale computers came into view simultaneously.

They brought a physical chill to the body and a mental awe to the mind.

Dense clusters of large-scale computers flickered with working lights, standing in neat rows like an obedient army of robots.

Zuo Baixuan thought of the PowerPoint presentation Luan Yenan had shown at the “front-end.”

This vast array of equipment was Luan Yenan’s true confidence.

The elites who were recruited didn’t need much convincing. Just a walk through this factory would make them envision the bright future of this company, willingly staying to weather the storms with Luan Yenan.

Sure enough.

In the center of the factory stood a few large characters.

“Cloud Computing Center” Zuo Baixuan read the words aloud.

“Computing power will become the core resource of future internet technology.” Luan Yenan said to Zuo Baixuan.

Zuo Baixuan thought for a moment, connecting it to what she knew: “The ‘mining power’ for ‘blockchain coins’?”

Seeing Zuo Baixuan’s interested expression, Luan Yenan smiled. “Yes, but not entirely. Mining requires computing power, but my computing power isn’t intended for mining. There are more meaningful things waiting for me.”

“Providing cloud computing services for enterprises and governments?” Zuo Baixuan asked again.

“Right, but not entirely. It will be used for them, but not limited to them.” Luan Yenan patiently replied, like a good teacher guiding Zuo Baixuan to her own realization.

“You have other plans?” Zuo Baixuan expressed confusion. Luan Yenan’s mysterious demeanor was frustrating, but she couldn’t do anything about it.

Luan Yenan chuckled softly, flicking her long hair and placing her index finger on her lips. “Yes, I have other plans, but they’re confidential. You haven’t agreed to join our company yet, so I can’t tell you.”

Caught off guard by Luan Yenan’s teasing tone, Zuo Baixuan felt a stir in her heart, almost swayed by her alluring voice.

“I still need to think about it.” Zuo Baixuan dodged Luan Yenan, planning to walk further inside to take a look.

But Luan Yenan blocked her path and pulled her back with just a gentle tug.

The tacit understanding they had developed during their recent dance practice made Zuo Baixuan take a small leap into Luan Yenan’s arms.

This surprised both of them.

Luan Yenan was the first to react, finding it amusing but suppressing her laughter to avoid upsetting the easily provoked little rabbit.

“Don’t hold it in. I can feel your chest rising and falling—you’re laughing!” Zuo Baixuan looked up, her eyes filled with a hint of complaint.

Luan Yenan pretended not to notice the reproachful look and still held Zuo Baixuan’s hand. “Going further inside is also confidential. If you go in, I’ll take it as your agreement to join us, boss lady.”

“What? You said you’d show me around if I was interested, but now I only get to see this tiny glimpse, and you expect me to join? You’re really not being sincere.” Zuo Baixuan leaned into Luan Yenan’s embrace, poking her collarbone with her finger.

“I am sincere. I just didn’t expect you to be so stubborn. Many of the experts I recruited agreed after seeing just this glimpse.” Luan Yenan stared at Zuo Baixuan, trying to gauge how much she was swayed.

Zuo Baixuan bit her lip.

To be honest, she was also fascinated by these machines and core technologies. She had felt the same way while completing tasks for “Huanyu.”

But she wasn’t ready to fully commit to Luan Yenan’s “pirate ship” just yet.

It wasn’t so much about worrying that Luan Yenan’s current situation would drag her down, but more about whether her own actions might create vulnerabilities for Luan Yenan.

If Luan Yenan were just an ordinary second-generation entrepreneur with family support, there would be nothing to worry about.

But now, even Luan Yenan’s own grandfather was targeting her. If she left any openings, all the hard work put into this company could be ruined.

Her conscience stopped her, offering another reason: “Deal with your grandfather first. Otherwise, it’ll just be another pile of ‘spousal joint debt.'”

Luan Yenan laughed when she heard “spousal joint debt.” It was something she and Zuo Baixuan would share.

Like a company with both their names on it, or a child they raised together.

“Your name is already on my company’s registration application. There’s no escaping it. What are you still thinking about?”

Zuo Baixuan lowered her head and changed the subject. “Your grandfather will invite a lot of people to this banquet, right?”

“Many, from the business and political circles. He wants to give Luan Yecha a chance to shine, so naturally, there will be many.”

Zuo Baixuan looked up. “Then let’s wait until after this banquet. If you can outmaneuver your grandfather, I’ll consider joining.”

Luan Yenan looked into Zuo Baixuan’s eyes. The usually charming peach-blossom eyes now held a faint trace of sorrow, which made her pause.

It was only at this moment that Luan Yenan realized something. She had always thought that the female lead burdened with the outline suffered mostly because of the original host. But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case. There was more to the story, and she still didn’t know what it was.

Aside from those shameless foster parents, Zuo Baixuan must be hiding some other secret.

She had a secret she couldn’t reveal. What about Zuo Baixuan? When would she be willing to share hers?

Luan Yenan’s gaze darkened, but she still commented, “You really are overly cautious.”

Then she thought it over and found it somewhat amusing.

When the two of them faced each other, it always felt like a battle of wits. Who was more cautious than whom? She had no room to complain.

Before she could say anything.

She heard a conversation not far away.

“Why do I smell your pheromones?”

“Oh no, I got too busy and forgot. I’m still in my sensitive period. Wait a second, sorry, I’ll just inject an inhibitor.”

Then they saw a male Alpha in work clothes running out from between the computers.

The Alpha was startled when he saw Luan Yenan’s gaze and quickly bowed. “Hello, boss. I need to go to the break room to get an inhibitor. I’ll be right back.”

Although it was just a brief encounter.

Zuo Baixuan couldn’t help but frown because she detected residual Alpha pheromones and instinctively leaned closer to Luan Yenan.

Luan Yenan immediately pulled Zuo Baixuan against the wall.

She looked like a delicate, soft girl who could be easily pushed over, not at all like an Alpha.

Zuo Baixuan looked up and saw that half the color had drained from Luan Yenan’s face, immediately realizing the problem.

Given the nature of Luan Yenan’s pheromones, even if she encountered an Alpha accidentally leaking pheromones during their sensitive period, she would definitely release a large amount of pheromones in defense, even entering an aggressive state.

But now, her pheromones hadn’t changed at all.

It was the same earlier in the office.

It wasn’t that Luan Yenan’s control over her pheromones had improved, but that her gland issues had worsened.

Zuo Baixuan supported Luan Yenan and opened a folding chair placed by the wall, helping her sit down.

She then took out a tissue and wiped the fine sweat from Luan Yenan’s forehead.

“Can you still participate in the Top Ten Singers competition in this condition? There will be many young and strong Alphas and Omegas in the audience.” Zuo Baixuan said, using a lecturing tone for the first time.

Luan Yenan lifted her eyelids to look at Zuo Baixuan, but the bright lights from the factory ceiling were blinding, so she closed her eyes.

“Many people are looking forward to it. Do you want me to give up now?”

Zuo Baixuan sighed helplessly.

It was true that many people were looking forward to it.

Even the couple in the project team said they would definitely go that day, even if not to see the juniors, just to watch Luan Yenan’s closing performance and cheer her on.

“I’ll try to stay backstage as much as possible and only sing one song on stage. It shouldn’t be a problem, will you come with me?” Luan Yenan reopened her eyes and reached out to hold Zuo Baixuan’s hand, which made her feel better.

Her weak tone even carried a hint of coquettishness.

Luan Yenan herself found it amusing. She must have picked this up from Zuo Baixuan.

The little white flower loved to put on her acting skills of acting spoiled when others were around, and she was quite skilled at it.

Zuo Baixuan felt the grip on her hand and shook it off. “I don’t know why you love showing off so much, you’re just a guest. Participating won’t bring you any benefits.”

“Actually, there are benefits. Guest professors don’t have offices at the school. The vice-principal said that if I participate, she’ll arrange one for me. Having an office at the school will make things much more convenient.” Luan Yenan lightly squeezed Zuo Baixuan’s hand and gave it a little shake.

Seeing her serious expression, Zuo Baixuan didn’t overthink it.

It was indeed troublesome for Luan Yenan to run back and forth.

Although the company was in its early stages, and as the boss, she needed to be involved frequently, many things in an internet company could be handled online.

But.

“Your sensitive period is coming soon, right? This is no joke, especially with the aggressiveness of your pheromones. It’s not just dangerous for you but also for the students. Do you know what it means for a top Alpha’s pheromones to go out of control?” Zuo Baixuan analyzed seriously.

“The doctor said that for the first sensitive period, as long as I suppress it with a large amount of inhibitors, it’ll be fine. I carry them with me. I just try to endure it as much as possible because using too much isn’t good for my body.” Luan Yenan took out two inhibitors from her pocket and leaned against Zuo Baixuan.

Why did this person act like a sick child?

Zuo Baixuan glanced at her and then turned her face away, suppressing the urge to laugh.

She didn’t try to persuade her further and just asked, “Then do you still want to practice dancing tomorrow at noon?”

“No, I won’t practice.”

“That’s fine. You’ll be dancing formally in the evening, so you can rest at noon…”

“I’m going to the Wen family in the afternoon.”

Zuo Baixuan’s words were cut off by Luan Yenan’s response.

“Do you want to come with me?” Luan Yenan asked again.

“Why would I go with you? You go by yourself.” Zuo Baixuan’s tone involuntarily rose.

But she quickly concealed her emotions.

She looked at Luan Yenan.

Under the overhead lights of the factory, Luan Yenan’s striking features were still partially shadowed, and her earlier weakness had mostly disappeared, replaced by a smile.

That answer had clearly been deliberate.

Zuo Baixuan lightly pressed her forehead with her index finger, not understanding why she had gotten so worked up.

“It’s not appropriate for me to go. The Wen family has certain intentions toward you. If you go to discuss cooperation and bring your wife along, they’ll be furious. Tomorrow, I’ll wait for you at home. Come back early, and we’ll change into our outfits and go to the banquet together.” Zuo Baixuan changed her approach, sounding like a perfect supportive partner.

Luan Yenan watched a few employees hurriedly pass by in the distance, her sharp eyebrows rising slightly.

“What a pity, my dear wife. You’re too rational, I wanted to see you get jealous.”

Zuo Baixuan also noticed the footsteps behind her.

She couldn’t help but feel that Luan Yenan was deliberately trying to provoke her, so she pinched her cheek.

Let’s see how you maintain your aloof boss image after this!

“Why should I be jealous? I’m your wife. You can’t have another wife or do you want to?” Zuo Baixuan’s words were almost a threat.

Luan Yenan, still with her cheek pinched, didn’t mind and instead smiled.

She didn’t say anything.

But her eyes seemed to say: You really are jealous.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t want to see that look anymore and let go, turning her gaze away.

But Luan Yenan didn’t give her the chance. She stood up, blocking her path and trapping her against the wall.

There weren’t many employees in the server room.

Even if someone needed to pass by, they would choose to take a detour, and those who couldn’t would simply avert their eyes.

But even so, Zuo Baixuan could imagine that by tomorrow…

No, even before tomorrow, today, their company’s work group would be flooded with all kinds of rumors.

They would definitely turn Luan Yenan from a strict boss into a lustful, infatuated ruler.

This image would be ruined far more thoroughly than just pinching her cheek.

Luan Yenan, of course, didn’t care.

She wanted everyone to know that she was only interested in Zuo Baixuan, so that no other Omegas would bother her.

But Zuo Baixuan didn’t want to be used like this. “What’s wrong with you?”

Her face slightly red, fearing that what happened in the office earlier might happen again here, she unfolded the tissue she had used to wipe Luan Yenan’s sweat and placed it over her face, blocking her vision. Then, with a quick turn, she slipped away from Luan Yenan’s trap.

Luan Yenan chuckled softly, removed the tissue, crumpled it in her hand, and followed Zuo Baixuan toward the door.

What’s wrong with her?

Luan Yenan herself didn’t know.

She always wanted to keep Zuo Baixuan in her arms, to make sure she didn’t leave her sight, to get closer, to tease her, even to kiss her.

Maybe it was all because of her gland?

Luan Yenan watched Zuo Baixuan’s back.

No.

It had nothing to do with her gland.

She was looking forward to the little white flower’s reactions, whether she refused or cooperated.

She anticipated all her reactions. The madness that usually only surfaced in work now seemed to ignite like a spark, setting her entire life ablaze.

Luan Yenan followed behind Zuo Baixuan, but before she could catch up, the latter suddenly turned around.

“But if you were going to meet the Wen family, you should have done it earlier. Why tomorrow? Why tomorrow afternoon?”

Luan Yenan was pleased that Zuo Baixuan had thought of this question during the short walk.

“Wen Fenghua invited me, just this morning.”

Zuo Baixuan looked up at Luan Yenan, a flicker of worry passing through the corners of her eyes, as if Luan Yenan were a lone general facing an army alone.

After all, Wen Fenghua had a closer relationship with Luan Lizheng.

Perhaps the two had already reached some agreement and were waiting for Luan Yenan to walk into their trap.

Or maybe Wen Fenghua had seen the value in Luan Yenan and was trying to pressure her for profit before the banquet.

But Luan Yenan’s face showed no trace of fear. Her beautiful face should always be this confident.

Luan Yenan watched as the worry in Zuo Baixuan’s eyes faded, replaced by a light smile.

“Then why don’t you take the opportunity to squeeze more money out of him for the company tomorrow?”

Zuo Baixuan’s reaction made Luan Yenan laugh. “The boss lady’s advice is noted.”

…

The next day.

Since the Wen family’s residence was near a military area.

To be safe, Luan Yenan left after lunch to head to the Wen family.

When Luan Yenan arrived at the Wen family in a rather formal suit, Wen Qing, dressed in full attire, had already been notified by the security at the gate and was waiting outside to greet her.

Seeing that Luan Yenan hadn’t brought Zuo Baixuan, Wen Qing’s tired face immediately lit up with a victorious smile.

This made Luan Yenan, who had glanced over, momentarily unsure whether Wen Qing was interested in “Luan Yenan” or in “the Luan Yenan who, because of Zuo Baixuan, showed no interest in others.”

“Yenan, you’re here!”

“Yes, your father invited me.” Luan Yenan said, walking straight toward the Wen family’s main entrance.

“I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.” Wen Qing said, trailing behind Luan Yenan in her heavy and inconvenient dress.

Luan Yenan showed no intention of being gentle or considerate.

But for a girl who brought this on herself, she really didn’t understand. “You’re already wearing your banquet dress? Are you that excited about my brother’s return?”

Seeing Luan Yenan take the initiative to ask about her outfit, Wen Qing’s eyes brightened, and she quickly replied, “No, I dressed like this to welcome you. This isn’t what I’ll wear tonight.”

But Luan Yenan only made a faint sound and pushed the door open to enter the house.

Wen Qing thought she had heard Luan Yenan laugh, and the sound struck a chord in her heart.

“Yenan.”

Wen Qing’s tone was melodious, as if recalling the days when she had dated Luan Yenan’s original self.

But Luan Yenan poured cold water on her. “Girl, you’re still young. Give up. I already have a wife.”

Wen Qing didn’t expect this response and blurted out something absurd. “But you didn’t bring Zuo Baixuan today. Doesn’t that mean you’re here to give in to us?”

“Not at all. I’m here, on my wife’s advice, to squeeze money out of your father.” Luan Yenan, remembering Zuo Baixuan’s words from yesterday, finally laughed.

Wen Qing was left speechless, feeling utterly defeated.
