Weak A, She Just Wants to Live to the End (GL) - Chapter 8

When the three of them first made eye contact, Lin Anan and Wu Xixi were both a little surprised.

But then they remembered that Tang Xin wasn’t famous yet. She was just a newcomer being supported by Bai Yunshuang, and the two of them were still in the ambiguous stage. Their surprise slowly faded.

Since Bai Yunshuang liked Tang Xin, it made sense for him to want his manager to take her on.

Lin Anan paused for a moment, then quickly reacted and shifted her gaze to Li Sheng at his desk. She then gave him a sweet smile. “Brother Li, long time no see.”

Li Sheng leaned back in his chair in a relaxed manner, twirling a pen in his hand. He simply raised his eyes and looked at Lin Anan. “You’ve recovered?”

Lin Anan and Wu Xixi walked closer and sat on the other side of the sofa. “Yes, I’m all better now.”

According to Wu Xixi, her version of Li Sheng was very domineering and preferred docile and obedient artists. So Lin Anan kept a sweet smile on her face the entire time, trying to make a good impression on him.

Li Sheng paused for a moment, then twirled his pen again. He said casually, “The person next to you is a new Omega artist our company just signed a while ago. Her name is Tang Xin. You two should get to know each other.”

Tang Xin stood up and walked to Lin Anan, smiling humbly. “Hello, I’m Tang Xin. Please guide me.”

Lin Anan also stood up and politely extended her hand. “I’m Lin Anan. I hope we can learn from each other in the future.”

After they introduced themselves and sat down, Li Sheng looked at the computer on his desk and said in a nonchalant tone, “Yunshuang told me you differentiated into an Alpha, is that right?”

Lin Anan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Even if she denied it, it would be useless, because ever since she walked into the office, her pheromones had already spread throughout the surrounding air.

Although she had sprayed a little blocker before she left home, as a strong Alpha, Li Sheng could sense her being an Alpha just by smelling the faint pheromones in the air.

Li Sheng pretended to be serious. “If you’ve differentiated into an Alpha, it’ll be difficult for the company to manage you.”

“You know that Omegas are the most popular in the market right now.”

“When the company first signed you, we thought you would differentiate into an Omega. With your looks, we could have planned a sweet girl-next-door image for you, but now…”

In this social context, Omegas were indeed rare and delicate. People felt a strong urge to protect them, especially female Omegas.

Therefore, Omegas have always been the darlings of the entertainment industry.

Seeing that Lin Anan wasn’t speaking, Li Sheng gestured toward Tang Xin. “Look, Tang Xin is an Omega. A while ago, I posted her information and photos on our company’s internal network, and several directors saw it and invited her to audition.”

“See, the natural advantage is right there, isn’t it?”

Lin Anan sighed inwardly.

All Li Sheng was trying to say was that the company had pretty much given up on her.

But she and Wu Xixi had come all this way to the management company, so how could they go back empty-handed? If they didn’t take advantage of Bai Yunshuang and Yu Nanxi’s absence to gain some recognition, they probably wouldn’t have such a good opportunity once those two plagues returned.

Of course, she hadn’t come to the management company with Wu Xixi unprepared.

The two of them had talked late into the night, analyzing the entertainment industry’s background in this world. They had finally come up with a few ideas.

Lin Anan still smiled sweetly. “Brother Li, even though Omegas are more popular in the entertainment industry, being an Alpha has its advantages.”

Li Sheng looked up and finally gave Lin Anan a serious look. “Oh… how so?”

Lin Anan thought for a moment and decided to test out a small idea they had come up with yesterday. “An Alpha’s body is better than an Omega’s. It’s more suitable for long-term jobs. When the time comes, an Alpha’s work endurance is also better than an Omega’s.”

Because of their physical makeup, an Omega’s health would worsen during their susceptible period. A weaker Omega wouldn’t be able to work normally even with suppressants.

But an Alpha was different. During their susceptible period, an Alpha’s physical strength was much better than an Omega’s. A strong Alpha like Li Sheng could work at a high intensity even during their susceptible period.

“Oh,” Li Sheng nodded, his expression unchanging. “That’s true.”

Clearly, the small idea Lin Anan had just presented didn’t have any effect. She had no choice but to bring out her trump card and say, “That’s not all. Brother Li, look. Even though Omegas are popular, it’s inconvenient for them to film intimate scenes, right?”

“In our country, Alphas are not allowed to be too intimate with Omegas. Because of this, so many Alphas in the entertainment industry are so cautious when they film intimate scenes.”

“But even with so much caution, aren’t there still a lot of complaints?”

“But I’m different. I’m an Alpha now, but my appearance still looks like an Omega. This way, when I film with other Alphas, there won’t be such strict boundaries.”

In this world, because of the small number and frailty of Omegas, many laws were put in place to protect them, especially when it came to intimacy. The regulations were extremely strict, so intimate scenes in the entertainment industry were easy to mess up.

This was a problem that many management companies had been unable to solve.

Li Sheng’s interest was piqued. “That’s a new perspective. Go on.”

“Most of the female artists in our company are Omegas, which means we don’t have many female Alpha resources,” Lin Anan said. She turned her head and looked at Wu Xixi, signaling her to speak up.

Wu Xixi smiled and added, “That’s right. An Alpha who looks like an Omega, like Sister Anan, is even rarer. There will definitely be a high market demand for her in the future.”

Li Sheng nodded with interest. “I never noticed before that you were such a thoughtful person.”

Lin Anan didn’t know how to respond, so she just grinned awkwardly.

She didn’t want to suggest to Li Sheng that she was an Alpha and was therefore more convenient for filming intimate scenes, but now that Lin Anan had differentiated into an Alpha, this was the only way to make him see her value.

Otherwise, she would have to let the company give up on her.

If the company suddenly decided to sue her for breach of contract, how could she, a weak Alpha, and Wu Xixi, a Beta, afford to pay it?

At that point, if the company wanted her to do something, she and Wu Xixi probably wouldn’t have a choice.

And in the original novel, to increase the female protagonist’s satisfaction, Wu Xixi had indeed written that when Lin Anan was at her most helpless, the company sued her for a breach of contract fee, which ultimately led to her marrying a thug.

So, while they still had a little control and the timing was just right, why not seize the opportunity and save up some money to prepare for living a low-key life later on?

Li Sheng looked Lin Anan up and down a few times, then his eyes went to Wu Xixi next to her.

He felt that Lin Anan seemed a little different. Even the assistant next to her didn’t seem to be the same as he remembered.

“What was your name again?” Li Sheng asked Wu Xixi.

Wu Xixi quickly replied, “Brother Li, my name is Wu Xixi.”

Li Sheng seemed to be in a better mood. He teased, “Oh, right, your name is Xixi.”

“I never noticed before, but your appearance doesn’t really match your Beta gender. You’re so delicate and weak, like an Omega.”

In this world, the Beta category had the largest population. Betas were mostly average-looking, while Omegas and Alphas were generally more attractive because of the influence of their strong pheromones.

The original Wu Xixi, while not as pretty as Lin Anan, was one of the few good-looking Betas.

Even though the two of them had the same appearance, the original Wu Xixi was timid and cowardly, so she was often bullied by the villainous cannon fodder, Lin Anan.

After Wu Xixi transmigrated into the original owner’s body, she exuded a gentle, scholarly air. Although her face wasn’t exquisitely beautiful, she had a delicate and quiet elegance that made her easily distinguishable from the original owner.

Wu Xixi’s heart tightened, and she quickly gave an awkward smile. “Brother Li, you’re just joking.”

“Please keep an eye out for work for Sister Anan. We really appreciate it.”

Lin Anan also quickly added in a flattering tone, “Yes, Brother Li, please keep an eye out for work for me. Thank you very much.”

Li Sheng didn’t say much. He was in deep thought for a moment, then he threw his pen onto the table. “Alright, I understand what you came for today. You can go back now.”

“If I have any new work, I’ll let you know.”

Since Li Sheng had said so, they couldn’t just stay in the office.

They thanked Li Sheng again, then opened the door and left.

With their access cards, they went and toured the few floors of the company.

This was their first time at the management company since they transmigrated. Before this, they had to rely on Wu Xixi’s descriptions to imagine everything.

They walked around, looking forward to the days when they wouldn’t have to worry about money anymore. Then, they mooched a free lunch at the company cafeteria.

After they finished eating, they were about to leave. Lin Anan had spilled some soup on her clothes while eating, so she told Wu Xixi to wait for her downstairs while she went to the restroom to clean up.

She had just entered and was standing by the sink when she saw Tang Xin come out of the Omega restroom next to her.

Tang Xin, carrying her bag, walked up to the sink to wash her hands. She then looked at Lin Anan through the mirror in front of her.

Lin Anan felt a little uncomfortable with Tang Xin’s stare, so she said, “Is there something on my face?”

Tang Xin was startled for a moment, then shook her head.

Lin Anan asked, confused, “Then why are you looking at me?”

Lin Anan remembered her identity and added, “Even though we’re both female, I’m an Alpha.”

Tang Xin’s brow furrowed slightly, but she quickly went back to normal. As she washed her hands, she said casually, “Are you and Xiao Xi close?”

Oh… so she recognized her, Lin Anan thought.

When Tang Xin first looked at her in the office, a hint of surprise seemed to flash in her eyes, but she quickly hid it and sat there quietly, pretending she didn’t know her and not looking at her.

Lin Anan had thought that Tang Xin hadn’t recognized her and was just surprised that a washed-up actress would suddenly show up.

Lin Anan lied and quickly tried to distance herself. “I’m not close with her. I’ve only met her once, the last time we saw each other.”

“How did you recognize me? Did Bai Yunshuang tell you?”

Tang Xin nodded, then paused and said, “Are you really… an Alpha?”

Lin Anan said frankly, “Of course. It’s the real deal. You can come and smell my pheromones if you don’t believe me.”

Tang Xin frowned in disgust, then quickly relaxed. She said indifferently, “A while ago, Xiao Xi asked me for a favor. She wanted me to ask Yunshuang for your contact information. I didn’t give it to her. You two…”

Lin Anan couldn’t believe Yu Nanxi was so desperate she would ask her ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend for her ex-girlfriend’s number.

Was she really planning to tear her apart?

Wait, something felt off about that.

“Oh?” Lin Anan said, making up a story out of guilt. “We’re not close. We’re really not. Maybe she wants to contact me because she regrets giving me her roses?”

“After all, they looked pretty expensive.”

“Roses?” Tang Xin asked in confusion. “What roses?”

Lin Anan quickly explained, “I was delivering food, right? I was delivering the roses she ordered. Later, I saw she didn’t want them, so I… I took them.”

Tang Xin remembered the rainbow roses Lin Anan was carrying on her back. Her eyes darkened slightly. “And the flowers?”

“I sold them,” Lin Anan replied, pretending to be calm.

Tang Xin didn’t respond. She took a tissue and started wiping her hands.

Lin Anan saw that she wasn’t saying anything, so she wiped the wet area on her clothes with a tissue and turned to leave.

She had taken two steps when she heard Tang Xin’s cold voice. “Since you’re not close and have nothing to do with each other, Miss Lin, you should stop contacting Xiao Xi in the future. After all, she’s an Omega who is different from you.”

Lin Anan felt that Tang Xin’s words had a hidden meaning. She turned around to ask what she meant, but Tang Xin had already walked past her, threw the tissue in her hand into the trash can, and left without looking back.

Author’s Note:

Author’s Note: Anan, you need to be more careful.

Just a little longer. The great Yu will be making her appearance soon.

Let me explain the positions of Anan and Xiao Xi again.

Even though Xiao Xi was drunk and not thinking straight, Lin Anan wasn’t a willing participant. She was pounced on and used as a substitute, losing her virginity.

Just because Xiao Xi is an Omega, don’t automatically assume she’s the weak one. Besides, with Yu Nanxi’s increasingly ruthless actions and the knowledge that Yu Nanxi is a ruthless villainess, it’s a completely normal thought process for Lin Anan to run away to save her life.

Plus, they are a couple! A couple in the end! So let’s not worry about these details. And there’s a plot twist later! A plot twist.

Well, that’s all I’m going to say. Thank you to all the readers who made it this far. Big love! [Heart emoji]
