Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 65

Luan Yecha was completely caught off guard by Zuo Baixuan’s words.

He had anticipated what Luan Yenan might say to him—perhaps about prospects or development. He had prepared arguments, ready to point out that the starting point of a large company is often higher than the pinnacle of a small one.

Luan Yecha had also heard from Luan Lizheng that “Yituan” was preparing for an IPO and had an equity incentive plan. Even employees who joined during the autumn recruitment might have a chance to receive stock.

But if Luan Yenan had said that, he would have told everyone that it was just empty promises, and that the bonus and welfare systems of a large company were far more effective.

He could even have told Luan Yenan that the authority for this recruitment had been delegated by Luan Lizheng.

Luan Lizheng was their grandfather, and the weight of his words was something everyone understood.

But to his surprise, after spending the whole night preparing for a verbal battle with Luan Yenan, when they finally met, Luan Yenan didn’t say a word. She just stood there, smiling at Zuo Baixuan.

Yes, she was only looking at Zuo Baixuan, not even sparing a glance at Luan Yecha!

Luan Yecha felt slighted and uncomfortable.

Moreover, seeing the continuous stream of students submitting resumes to “Yituan’s” booth without even glancing at “Frontend.” he felt this was utterly unscientific.

“Even if you’re not applying for our new project positions, you can still choose from our previous roles. You’re not really going to dedicate yourselves to a small, struggling startup, are you? They face many challenges, and these storms aren’t something you can just weather casually. Why not join our company? I’m here today, and you can come over with your resumes, introduce yourselves, and leave an impression on me. Promotions and raises will be within reach.” Luan Yecha cobbled together his prepared pitch, acting as if he were already the future heir, casually painting a grand picture for the applicants.

Luan Yenan couldn’t bear to watch.

From what Luan Muyin had said, her sister, though having no chance to inherit the business—mainly due to bad timing and her own needle-in-cotton personality—had been biding her time for years to groom her son.

If she saw her son now, turning a high-end enterprise into a street vendor haggling over prices and fighting for business, she’d probably be furious.

This was, after all, Jing City University.

Luan Yenan still didn’t speak. She just couldn’t understand why Luan Lizheng had sent Luan Yecha to compete with her.

Wouldn’t it have been better to let him start from the bottom in the company, away from her?

With Luan Lizheng paving the way for Luan Yecha, even if he were as useless as mud, he could still climb steadily, right?

She didn’t doubt his technical skills. She had seen his awards and the projects he had participated in—they were substantial. It was just a pity that, apart from his technical abilities, he seemed to lack brains.

In the end, Luan Lizheng probably still thought Luan Muyin wasn’t obedient enough and wanted to groom a more pliable successor in the next generation.

Zuo Baixuan tugged at Luan Yenan’s hand and shook it.

Luan Yenan looked at her.

Zuo Baixuan smiled and said, “Your brother really seems to think he’s the heir, doesn’t he?”

After she said this, the surrounding noise seemed to fade for a few seconds.

Even the noisy voice of Luan Yecha disappeared. He stared at Zuo Baixuan in disbelief.

How dare she say such a thing?

Zuo Baixuan was Luan Yenan’s wife; surely, Luan Yenan had instructed her to say this.

Did Luan Yenan and Luan Muyin really intend to defy their grandfather?

Luan Yecha felt confident with Luan Lizheng’s backing, but hearing Zuo Baixuan’s words still made him uneasy.

Luan Yenan, however, raised the corner of her mouth, watching Zuo Baixuan’s performance.

This little white flower was out for bl00d.

Among the students, a few were graduate students determined to secure this year’s outstanding graduate positions. At least they were rational enough to prepare resumes for both companies. If they passed, they would attend both interviews and then weigh the companies’ development prospects against their own career growth.

But just now, Luan Yecha had offered a chance for self-recommendation, and they were tempted.

Opportunities to directly recommend themselves to a company’s decision-maker were rare.

Many who could switch jobs or get higher salaries and better benefits often did so through connections and recommendations. Directly communicating with someone who had a say could give them a head start.

In just three seconds, the atmosphere shifted again because of Zuo Baixuan’s words.

With just one sentence, Zuo Baixuan made everyone reconsider.

Would Luan Lizheng really make Luan Yecha the heir?

Luan Yecha and Luan Yenan were standing right there, and to everyone, Luan Yenan seemed far more commanding and charismatic.

Moreover, the current CEO of “Frontend” was Luan Yenan’s mother, Luan Muyin.

If they applied to Luan Yecha’s side now and joined the company, only to have Luan Yenan inherit it later, wouldn’t they end up being targeted?

The students couldn’t help but think of Luan Yenan’s notorious reputation and tried to guess her logic.

They shivered at the thought, realizing that when gods fight, mortals suffer. The two sides had become completely irreconcilable, and they couldn’t submit resumes to both.

Moreover, those who proactively introduced themselves to Luan Yecha would surely be seen as thorns in Luan Yenan’s side.

What Luan Yecha thought, Luan Yenan didn’t know, but she had no such thoughts.

She had seen plenty of these petty business tactics before.

Most applicants were just looking for a job, not harboring some grand sense of collective honor.

A small number of idealists might join a company because they believed in its vision or felt aligned with its values, developing a sense of belonging even before joining.

But those who rationally analyzed which company had better prospects and which could offer better career growth were the more normal ones.

So even if some top talent was rejected by “Frontend” and then applied to “Yituan.” as long as there was a suitable position, she would still consider hiring them.

Zuo Baixuan offered another option: “But then again, if you join ‘Frontend,’ it could be a good stepping stone. Your salary and benefits would likely look better when you move to another company.”

Sss—

Was that a threat to jump ship?

The students couldn’t help but overthink again.

They were new to the job market, having only heard about workplace rules but never experienced them firsthand. They were intimidated by these rumored norms.

Luan Yenan glanced at the students.

She couldn’t help but pat Zuo Baixuan’s head.

The little white flower’s cunning was evident.

She wore the friendliest smile but wielded the sharpest knife, leaving these young students bewildered.

But upon closer thought, these students weren’t much younger than Zuo Baixuan; some graduate students were even older. Yet they were all intimidated.

Perhaps it was because Zuo Baixuan had started part-time work right after turning eighteen, giving her a better understanding of society than these sheltered kids.

Luan Yenan took the opportunity to scan the students, identifying those who hadn’t been swayed by Zuo Baixuan’s words.

“If you think ‘Yituan’ is too small, you can also consider Luo’s Group and a few others. They have solid foundations but lack manpower in information technology. Joining them would put you in a key position right away.” Luan Yenan said.

The graduate student she was looking at had a sudden realization.

Right, how could he have been so foolish? Luan Yenan’s company wasn’t some fledgling startup with nothing to offer.

With so many second-generation family members tied to it, if this was considered weak, then most companies at the recruitment fair should pack up and leave.

The wavering graduate student walked toward Luan Yenan.

As if to validate Luan Yenan’s extensive connections, a greeting sounded from nearby.

“Yenan, what a coincidence.”

Wen Qing’s cool voice washed over everyone like a refreshing breeze.

Turning to look, it was as if two beautiful women in cheongsams and fur shawls had stepped out of another era.

Wen Qing’s face exuded a cold elegance, reminiscent of a sheltered lady from a bygone era.

The woman beside her was entirely different, with striking rose-red lips.

She seemed more like a representative of the progressive, free-spirited daughters of that era, her avant-garde ideas more impactful than her looks.

“It’s not a coincidence; we came specifically to see you.” Si Ruxin said with a smile, not hiding her intentions.

Wow!

The students momentarily forgot about job hunting, their attention entirely focused on the four stunning women.

What kind of ultimate showdown was this?

Who didn’t know about Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan’s relationship?

Who didn’t know about Wen Qing and Luan Yenan’s history?

Who didn’t remember what happened when Wen Qing confronted the Luan-Zuo couple, and how everyone still talked about the necklace the janitor fished out of the trash?

Now, with the addition of this curvaceous socialite, was a fight about to break out?

Luan Yenan simply smiled casually. “There’s not much fun to be had at a recruitment event, I was worried my wife would be bored accompanying me.”

Her words had a disarming effect, deflecting the suspicious glances around her.

There was no showdown. Luan Yenan couldn’t stop mentioning her wife; what kind of showdown could there be?

Seeing Wen Qing and Si Ruxin approach, Zuo Baixuan frowned.

Her concern was that she hadn’t expected these two to have a connection. The social circles of the upper class were indeed complicated.

But she didn’t dwell on it, leaning on Luan Yenan’s arm and smiling. “Not at all, how could I be bored with you around? In fact, I think it’s quite fun now.”

“What’s fun?” Luan Yenan played along.

Zuo Baixuan smiled sweetly. “Your brother is quite fun.”

A sweet yet cutting remark.

Swish—

With that one sentence, everyone’s attention shifted back to Luan Yecha.

Luan Yecha’s movements at that moment were indeed somewhat comical, standing stiffly in place.

Seeing Wen Qing and the other beauty arrive, he immediately recalled Luan Lizheng’s words.

Recently, several families from other provinces had sent their younger members to test the waters. Among them was the rapidly rising Si family, which had sent the famously beautiful Si Ruxin.

Seeing her in person was indeed better than hearing about her. He wanted to greet her but was interrupted by Zuo Baixuan.

Noticing everyone looking at him, he awkwardly walked over to Si Ruxin. “Miss Si, hello. I’m Luan Yecha.”

“Hello. So you’re Luan Yenan’s brother? Interesting, you don’t look alike at all.” Si Ruxin said politely, shaking his hand briefly, but her gaze remained on Luan Yenan.

Luan Yecha seized the opportunity to introduce himself.

But Si Ruxin didn’t listen to a word, finding it hard to be interested in Luan Yecha after seeing an Alpha like Luan Yenan.

Their last meeting had ended on a sour note, but now, this top-tier Alpha’s pheromones were still completely sealed under a blocker, with only the deterrence being felt.

This deterrence had changed significantly since their last meeting.

Si Ruxin glanced at Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan, surprised.

Marked?

She couldn’t be wrong.

Though she couldn’t tell if it was a temporary or permanent mark, they had definitely been marked.

The connection between their pheromones was much stronger than before.

Zuo Baixuan’s pheromones also exuded a clear sense of hostility.

This, however, intrigued Si Ruxin.

Last time, she had thought Luan Yenan had some physical issue or was perhaps an AA lover, hence not marking Zuo Baixuan.

But in just a few days…

Was this to prove herself?

Seeing Si Ruxin looking at Luan Yenan with that same smile made Zuo Baixuan uncomfortable!

Though Wen Qing was also clearly interested in Luan Yenan, her gaze was fixed, filled with longing.

But Si Ruxin looked at Luan Yenan as if she were a toy, a possession, which was infuriating.

Zuo Baixuan tugged at Luan Yenan, wanting to return to their booth.

But Si Ruxin called out to them with a smile. “Why don’t you two introduce your recruitment philosophy? The Wen family is already collaborating with your company, and our Si family is planning to invest. Surely, that’s worth your time?”

Si Ruxin was indeed skilled with words.

Such a request was hard to refuse.

The students’ balance tilted once more because of Si Ruxin’s words.

Luan Yenan’s chips weren’t limited to the Luo family.

Even the Wen and Si families were on her side, along with many other hidden companies.

The eyes of officials and capitalists were sharp; if they saw potential, it must be there!

Resumes began pouring into the booth behind Luan Yenan.

But Luan Yenan stared at Si Ruxin for a long time without speaking.

She now found Si Ruxin somewhat peculiar.

A few days ago, she couldn’t be sure, but today, with both Zuo Baixuan and Si Ruxin present, she noticed something that displeased her—without control, her pheromones leaned toward Si Ruxin.

This indicated a higher compatibility between her and Si Ruxin’s pheromones.

It was clear from the investigation that Si Ruxin had been arranged by Qin Yuancheng.

But the question remained.

Even if technology could quickly match high-compatibility Alphas and Omegas, how had Qin Yuancheng obtained her pheromone sample?

The original host had many complaints about this uncle on social media.

Almost immediately after her mother’s death, her uncle had cut ties with their family and stopped contacting the original host. The original host’s differentiation had occurred after that.

There was no way Qin Yuancheng could have obtained a pheromone sample.

After much thought, Luan Yenan combed through her memories.

Suddenly, she remembered her first susceptible period during the Top Ten Singers competition backstage.

Zuo Baixuan noticed Luan Yenan’s prolonged silence and Si Ruxin’s constant, smiling gaze.

She turned to look at Luan Yenan.

This woman was also looking at Si Ruxin!

Zuo Baixuan stared at Luan Yenan for a long time, recalling the question she had asked on the day they were marked.

Had Luan Yenan’s pheromones been influenced by Si Ruxin, and was she still being influenced now?

Right in front of her wife?

“What’s wrong?” Luan Yenan’s gaze fell on Zuo Baixuan as she noticed her sudden anger.

Seeing her pouting, she asked these three words.

Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips. “She asked you a question, and you’re asking me what’s wrong?”

“Oh, it’s too noisy here, I didn’t hear clearly.” Luan Yenan said nonchalantly, with a dismissive tone.

Si Ruxin wasn’t angered; instead, she smiled patiently and explained, “I was saying I’d like to see your recruitment standards.”

Her thoughts aligned with Zuo Baixuan’s—Luan Yenan was still being influenced by her pheromones.

She had realized this only after much reflection.

Luan Yenan had been attentive during their earlier interactions, so why had she deliberately slighted her at the end?

Recalling the hospital visit, she had guessed.

Could this person really resist a higher-compatibility Omega?

There were many rumors suggesting that Luan Yenan’s unwavering devotion to Zuo Baixuan was due to pheromones.

Before, Luan Yenan’s pheromones couldn’t mark anyone, until the highly compatible Zuo Baixuan appeared.

Even Wen Qing had said that the Luan Yenan of the past and the present were like two different people, surely influenced by pheromones.

Si Ruxin eagerly anticipated how Luan Yenan, having tasted the sweetness with Zuo Baixuan, would change.

But she heard Luan Yenan shake her head. “We’re quite busy with recruitment; I can’t entertain you. Feel free to look around if you’re interested.”

Zuo Baixuan pinched Luan Yenan’s arm, her anger dissipating. She lowered her head, having held back a laugh for a long time.

Then she looked up at Luan Yenan, also smiling.

Zuo Baixuan deliberately held back her laughter and turned away.

“?” Si Ruxin’s smile froze.

Feel free to look around?

The feeling of eagerly awaiting a response only to be told to look around was reminiscent of the last time she had expected Luan Yenan to invite her to dinner but ended up at the hospital cafeteria.

You really have a way, Luan Yenan.

Si Ruxin frowned for a moment before smiling again.

Her gaze shifted between Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan, watching them flirt openly in front of everyone.

She recalled Luan Yenan’s words.

She didn’t like women or Omegas; she just happened to like Zuo Baixuan.

So it had nothing to do with pheromones; it was a subtle, inexplicable reason.

Si Ruxin was quite free and simple in this regard. Even as Wen Qing grew visibly angry, she didn’t get upset by Luan Yenan’s repeated slights. Instead, she said, “Alright then, I won’t bother you. But if you ever come to Jiangcheng, I’d love to properly host you.”

Again, she used ambiguous language, leaving her intentions unclear.

Luan Yenan didn’t read into it, responding in a businesslike manner, “We’re quite busy these days, but I’ll visit Jiangcheng soon and bring our company’s project plans to your esteemed company.”

Then she turned to Zuo Baixuan, “Wife, would you like to visit Jiangcheng?”

This response was a model of Alpha virtue, flawless.

“I need to study.”

That was Zuo Baixuan’s instinctive reply.

“But when we’re both free, we could go on a trip. I’ve heard Jiangcheng is quite fun, with lots of good food.”

That was Zuo Baixuan’s grand promise.

But Luan Yenan accepted it, “Deal, let’s plan a trip to Jiangcheng for some good food.”

Zuo Baixuan looked into Luan Yenan’s sincere eyes and remembered the scenic photos she had sent during her business trips.

Somehow, she agreed, “Okay, it’s a deal.”

…

“Tsk tsk tsk, Little Zuo’er~ Look at you two, so sweet at the autumn recruitment fair. What can I say? See how everyone’s talking about you—throwing dog food in front of a love rival has become your signature move.” Jiang Lingdan, now the number one fan of their couple, was thoroughly enjoying herself browsing the forums.

Zuo Baixuan, sitting in the dorm, was used to such teasing.

She didn’t even bother to reiterate to Jiang Lingdan that her relationship with Luan Yenan was a “cooperative arrangement.”

Zuo Baixuan simply submitted her thesis and took out her notebook.

She checked off “thesis” on her to-do list.

Then, holding her notebook, she turned and asked, “I’ve been busy with my thesis and finals these past few days. You, who usually cram at the last minute, why are you always at school these days? Is it because Luan Yenan, the boss, isn’t around, so you’re slacking off?”

After the recruitment fair, Luan Yenan had left Jing City for a business trip abroad. She mentioned preparing to expand into overseas markets and meeting a small team from “Huanyu” stationed abroad.

“Of course not! With you, the boss lady, keeping an eye on me, how could I slack off? It’s just…” Jiang Lingdan’s expression became awkward, and she couldn’t continue.

“Just what?” Zuo Baixuan turned around. Jiang Lingdan, who never kept secrets, always shared even her parents’ arguments with her best friend, was now hiding something?

“Cough, it’s related to Senior Chen, so I’m not sure if I should say.” Jiang Lingdan, even in their private dorm, lowered her voice and buried her head in a pillow.

“Then you decide, I can keep a secret.” Zuo Baixuan didn’t press.

After some hesitation, Jiang Lingdan opened a social media app, stopping at the “Sugar Daddy” interface.

Wait, “Sugar Daddy” had been replaced by “Sugar Mommy.”

The last message in the chat was from the other party: “I’m Chen Huanyu.”

“???” Zuo Baixuan’s eyes widened in shock, her mind a whirlwind.

“You’re shocked too, right? Our former benefactor is actually Senior Chen!”
But Zuo Baixuan wasn’t shocked by that.

It was the connection.

She knew “Huanyu” and “Sugar Daddy” were the same person, and now “Sugar Daddy” and “Chen Huanyu” were the same person.

Sss…

Huanyu, Huanyu…

Zuo Baixuan closed her eyes, her mind blank, gripping her notebook tightly.

The “plan” page was almost crumpled.

So it was a trap after all?

Luan Yenan had deliberately mentioned that “Huanyu” had a team that could investigate, and she had secretly contacted “Huanyu” paying a high price for information.

Would Luan Yenan find out?

No, no, she shouldn’t.

Though she had contacted “Huanyu” given Senior Chen’s social anxiety, she wouldn’t proactively tell Luan Yenan.

Moreover, the team was contacted through the dark web, leaving no traces.

“Hey, but you don’t need to be so shocked, Little Zuo’er!” Jiang Lingdan, seeing Zuo Baixuan’s furrowed brow, quickly said.

Zuo Baixuan shook her head and sighed, “So you’re avoiding the company because Senior Chen kept it from you, and you’re upset?”

“Of course not! Cough… it’s because I feel guilty and can’t face her.” Jiang Lingdan’s face turned slightly red.

“What did you do?” Zuo Baixuan was puzzled.

“Well… it’s like this. I don’t know why Senior Chen suddenly told me she’s ‘Sugar Daddy,’ so I went to find her. She said something about scoring ten thousand points, and I didn’t understand, but at that moment, I thought, wow, Senior Chen is so cute! I couldn’t help it, I… I… I’m a beast!”

Zuo Baixuan was confused, only catching the “I’m a beast” part, and recalling Jiang Lingdan’s past comments about Sugar Daddy being her type and wanting to do unspeakable things, she asked, “You… slept with Senior?”

“Ah! Little Zuo’er, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person?” Jiang Lingdan buried her face in the pillow, “I just kissed her, on the lips… and, and… even though Senior is a Beta, she tasted so good. You know, a girl’s lips are soft, and so is her tongue… Ah, you must know.”

“…” Zuo Baixuan didn’t know what to say.

Jiang Lingdan didn’t need to look up for Zuo Baixuan to know she was grinning like an idiot.

After a while, Zuo Baixuan said, “So, you’re avoiding the company because you feel guilty? Why not just apologize?”

“How can I apologize? I only recently found out that Senior actually dislikes me, and I did something like this, she must be furious. Plus, I thought about it, Senior hadn’t spoken to me for a long time before telling me she’s Sugar Daddy. She probably wanted to use this identity to intimidate me, but who knew I’d be so bold…” Jiang Lingdan said with a mournful face.

Zuo Baixuan was at a loss for words. Jiang Lingdan was indeed bold.

When she had hated Luan Yenan the most, if Luan Yenan had dared to kiss her, she would have taken the contract straight to the civil affairs bureau to demand a divorce or never speak to her again.

Tsk.

Why was she thinking about Luan Yenan again!

Buzz buzz buzz—

Jiang Lingdan’s phone vibrated, startling her so much that she threw it to Zuo Baixuan, “Wuwu, Little Zuo’er, Senior sent me a message. I don’t dare to look.”

Zuo Baixuan was both amused and exasperated.

Our social butterfly was now afraid to check a message?

Zuo Baixuan smiled and looked at the phone.

It was indeed a message from “Sugar Mommy.”

A photo.

Zuo Baixuan’s smile froze.

It was a photo of Luan Yenan.

In the photo, Luan Yenan was in a gown, standing next to a woman in a high-slit dress, flaunting her figure—Si Ruxin.

Zuo Baixuan stood up from her seat.

Luan Yenan was on a business trip abroad.

But why was Si Ruxin also abroad?

At that moment, she had the impulsive thought of buying a plane ticket and rushing to find Luan Yenan, regardless of her finals.

She knew this impulse stemmed from possessiveness.
